ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE
Every word you utter is energy.
We are so careless with our words because we don't realize that our words are energy. Each word is an expression of prana-shakti, the universal life force that is circulating inside us. Before you utter it, it exists in your inner space only as energy. In this technique, you can experience your words as vak-shakti, the energy of verbalization.
DURATION: 21 minutes
Recall an incident which creates a powerful emotion in you.
It can be any emotion – joy, anger, sorrow, anything.
Initially, the emotion will arise inside you without words.
Now try to verbalize the incident to yourself.
As you recall it, you will find words start bubbling up in your system that express your mood.
They arise from the manipuraka chakra, the navel center. All your inner chatter arises here.
As they rise up to your throat, they become coloured with your emotions. Just before the words escape your lips, stop them and turn them back inside.
The words will be struggling to escape you. Don't allow it.
You will feel this struggle in your vishuddhi chakra, your throat center. Turn them inside and simply watch them.
If you can stop your breath for a few moments, you will find that your mind also stops.
Slowly, you will find that they start melting back into the energy form which they were molded.
As your words melt and disappear, you will directly fall into the deep silence of your being.
When you practice this technique for a while, you will understand the enormous amount of energy you are spending on speech – and most of it is unnecessary.
You will start using your words carefully!
