Desire is a dynamic energy!

Desire becomes a disease only when the energy flow is blocked by suppression. This is a dynamic meditation technique which will throw out all the suppressed emotions in you and cleanse and energize your muladhara chakra.

Practice this technique in the morning, preferably on an empty stomach.

This technique is like taking a psychological bath! If you want to test the efficiency of this technique, go and have your picture taken today. After 21 days of practising this technique, have another picture taken and compare the two.

I assure you, your face will look completely different! You will have blossomed. Your eyes will have become more pleasing. You will also see a deep silence expressing in your eyes.

Step 1 (10 minutes):

For the first 10 minutes, you will work with your breath.

Your mental system is made fully alive by deep breathing and the increased intake of oxygen. Your cells will get more energy and you will create more bio-electricity or bio-energy. This energy will melt all the repressed emotions like melting ice. The subconscious will be thrown open. It is like fanning the flame of the muladhara chakra.

Stand with your eyes closed and legs slightly apart. Bend your knees and get into a semi-squatting position.

MULADHARA CHAKRA

Now start breathing deeply and chaotically from the depths of your body, always through your nose, with your mouth closed.

In chaotic breathing, there is no definite rhythm. There is no need to control your breath. Just breathe as deeply as you can. During chaotic breathing, when the body intelligence is allowed to take over, the body will take in however much oxygen is needed.

As you breathe, repeatedly bend your knees and straighten them, moving your whole body up and down. This will create a powerful pumping action which directly hits the mooladhara chakra and throws out the suppressed energies.

Simultaneously, move your hands up and down like a bird in flight. Do the movements gently and synchronize your inhalation with upward movement and exhalation with downward movement.

If you have a heart problem, or are pregnant, or have had a recent ailment or surgery, do this technique only as much as you can without discomfort. Otherwise, put your whole energy into it!

Step 2

Keep your eyes closed and tense each part of your body, part by part, limb by limb, and then let it relax. Tense and relax one limb, and then move on to the next.

Relax each part fully before you move on to the next.

Start with your feet, then move on to your legs, then your thighs and hips. Next, move to your stomach, then your lower back, then to the chest and upper back.

Move to your arms, working from the fingertips to the shoulders.

Next, work on the neck and shoulders, the facial muscles, and finally the top of the head.

At the end of this exercise, you will find that you have become vacant inside; you will feel cool, calm and composed.

Step 3

Sit upright with your eyes closed.

Gently chant the sound hoo. This is known as the hoomkara. There is no need to chant it loudly and deeply. Just chant in a relaxed manner.

As you chant, just witness whatever happens inside and outside your being.

The first two parts of this technique are actually a preparation for the third part, which is the actual meditation.

When you come to the third part, you will see that the mind becomes silent effortlessly, by itself. Silence cannot be forced upon you; it can only happen by itself.

Remain in this relaxed state with a smiling face and a blissful mood.

During this time, there may be many experiences. Just watch them as you would watch the television; with a detached interest. Watch your mind thought by thought.

Breathe normally. Don't concentrate on anything. Meditation is not concentration. Meditation is awareness. So just be aware of your thoughts, witness what happens inside your body and outside your body.

Nirbhaya Dhyana (Path of Fearlessness)

A very powerful way of overcoming fear is to visualize going through that fear as clearly as you can.

In this technique, you are going to visualize the situation that causes the greatest fear in everybody - death!

The beauty with this technique is that it can be used when you are not in the fear situation, when you are calm and able to handle yourself.

Feel clearly the fear coming up in you, face the fear with deep awareness.

If you suffer, if your body feels uncomfortable, it is fine. Don't suppress the fear, just allow it to happen. When you experience something completely, you stop the process.

Manipuraka Shuddhi Kriya (Releasing Stress)

Manipuraka Shuddhi Kriya is a cathartic technique that bypassses mental processes and roots out worries in their most elemental form - which is just negative energy. It is a powerful technique to cleanse the manipuraka chakra or navel energy center, which is locked by stress and worry.

All your worries are nothing but words! Nothing but the sum total of all the languages you know.

All your life, you have put your worries into words, spoken about them in some language which you know.

Now, you are going to speak in a language which you don't know!

You are holding all your worries, negativity and suppressions like a weight in your navel area. Can you see how heavy that area feels? Now you are going to act out all those suppressions - in noises and actions.

Remember, no words! When you start using words, your inner chatter begins to come up. During this meditation, don't allow your inner chatter. Simply get to the core of your deepest suppressions and pluck them out of your system! Just vomit them out in sounds.

This technique is a powerful meditation. It unblocks your unconscious and allows all the negativities stored inside to dissolve.

Typical psychoanalytical sessions when patients talk to their analysts or even throw things around for catharsis, are still conscious processes. Only ten percent of your stored memories will be released.

Processes such as hypnosis are through the unconscious and you have no control. This technique is a superconscious process in which you retain awareness while cleansing yourself.

This technique should always be practiced before a meal, when the stomach is empty, and at least four hours before sleep.

Step 1

Stand apart with your eyes closed.

For a minute, concentrate on the Manipuraka area. All your worries and suppressed negativity will start rising up into your conscious mind. Now, imagine yourself in some situation of conflict.

Imagine that you are fighting hard with someone. Talk to him - in a language that you don't know!

Just use nonsense sounds, like how babies babble. If anyone is listening, it should also not make any sense to them.

Try to convey your problem, your pain, to the other person. But the other person simply doesn't agree with you!

How do you feel? Angry? Throw out your anger on him! If tears come, let them! Don't stop yourself.

Scream, wail, cry, throw your limbs about, roll on the ground if you feel like. Create as much violence as possible! Once you start, you will find that you really won't be able to stop – so much will be coming out.

Do the technique sincerely - this is your chance to get rid of a lifetime's suppressions.

Enter completely into the meditation.

Step 2

Stop!

Now, simply sit in silence and bring your awareness to your Manipuraka chakra. You will feel a tremendous lightness in that area.

During this silence, just be a witness to your thoughts. Do not suppress them or chase them. Just let them flow before the deep silence of your being.

Repeat this meditation every day for 21 days minimum, or until you feel as if you have nothing left inside to throw out during the meditation. Right from the very first day onwards, you will find a change, a great peace blossoming in your Being. Enjoy the peace!

Mahamantra Dhyana (Chanting the Primordial Sound)

Mahamantra (The Great Mantra) meditation is a technique to make your mind centered and integrated.

The Mahamantra is the essential vibration which is resonating not only in your Being, but in all of Existence. This technique is designed to make your whole body mantramayaa (vibrate with the mantra) through humming.

Humming is a powerful means of bringing your awareness to the present moment. If you hum intensely, you cannot have any thought at that time. So your Thoughts Per Second (TPS) automatically comes down. The energy generated by the humming cleanses the energy blocks in the mind-body system.

When you are intensely humming, all the ideas which you have about you will be completely shaken. Like an earthquake, this is a technique for a 'mind-quake'!

Chanting the mahamantra is known as the mahamantra uchchaadana – uttering the mantra which is beyond utterance, beyond speech or writing, beyond expression. It is the anahata dhwani (the unheard sound). When you experience the energy of this meditation, you will understand that you are based in this anahata dhwani.

When you practice this meditation, your entire energy becomes centered on yourself.

This meditation should be done on an empty stomach or two hours after a meal. It is best to practise it early in the morning, as it generates a tremendous amount of energy in your body. If you practise it at night, it may interfere with your sleep.

It can be done either alone or with a group. When done with a group, it effectively energizes the place where it is done.

Step 1

Sit in a relaxed way, cross-legged, with your hands on your knees, palms facing upwards. Remove your watch and jewellery, as they block the energy flow.

Keep your spine erect. Your head, neck and back should be in a straight line. Close your eyes. Really close your eyes. Usually, when you close your eyes, it is just like putting off the TV outside and switching on the inner TV. So don't just close your eyelids – close your eyes!

There is a good way to do this: just imagine that your eyeballs have turned to stone! The movement of our eyes is very closely related to the movement of thoughts in our mind. That is why you are asked to arrest the movement of your eyeballs.

Just harden your eyeballs with mental pressure; the images in your mind will die. Your thoughts will also stop, or become slow. Don't be too worried about keeping them arrested. Just proceed with the meditation. Now, with your mouth closed, start humming. Just create the vibration Mmmm.

Don't chant any other mantra, don't chant Om or Hoom.

Imagine your body as an empty vessel. If you put your mouth to it and hum, what sound do you hear? Create that same vibration inside yourself. Hum as loudly as possible, as deeply as possible, as lengthily as possible. Put your whole effort into your humming. The sound has to come from your naabhi kamala – from your loins.

INSTRUCTIONS (continuation)

If you are using the ASP tape, there will be music accompanying your humming. Else, you can simply hum in silence.

Don't attempt any kind of breath control. Your breathing will automatically take care of itself. Just continue humming in an intense yet relaxed manner.

Let your whole body be filled with the vibration of the humming.

Become the humming!

Whatever thoughts arise, throw them also into the humming. Gradually, they will disappear.

After some time, you will feel that the humming continues without your effort and that you have become simply a listener to it! You enter the state of ajapa – where you don't even have to do the japa (chanting), the japa happens on its own. You don't have to repeat the mantra, the mantra will repeat you.

(At the end of twenty minutes, the music stops and a gong sounds.)

Step 2

Instantly stop your humming. A great silence floods your Being. For a moment, time stands still.

Witness this silence. Experience the tremendous calm in and around you.

During this time, the energy created by the humming will enter all the corners of your being and cleanse it deeply. It establishes you in the awareness of the present moment. This awareness is all that is needed to dissolve the negativities, bring clarity and enable you to experience your true potential.

After a short while, thoughts will slowly start entering into this silence. Don't stop them; don't enter into them. Simply witness these thoughts. Remain silent and blissful.

Become a centre of awareness.

Remain centered in the anahata chakra. You will feel completely centered, calm.

Shakti Sagar Dhyana (Ocean of Energy)

All your life, you have been running a race against others.

Now, you will run against yourself! This technique puts you in touch with the tremendous energy inside of you. There is an immense reservoir of energy inside us that most of us are not even aware of. If you know how to tap into this vast energy source, you can simply go beyond what you now think are your limitations.

Intelligence is nothing but functioning at the highest level of energy available to us. During Shakti Sagar meditation, you unlock the resources of Intelligence.

Step 1

Stand in silence with your eyes closed. Concentrate your entire awareness upon the Vishuddhi chakra, located in your throat region. When you do this, the cosmic energy enters through the vishuddhi chakra and becomes a tremendous source of energy for you.

Now, standing in place, slowly begin to walk.

If you find this difficult, you can stand behind a chair or use some support.

Start walking slowly, very slowly in the same spot where you are standing.

Start slowly, then increase your pace. Keep walking faster and faster in the same spot.

Push your limits only to the extent that you can, with no discomfort. At all times focus on the vishuddhi. You will be able to feel the energy coming from it.

The important thing is never to slow down at any point in time but always keep your eyes closed, and your awareness on the throat region. When you do this, you automatically absorb the energy that is generated during the movement.

Your body has tremendous potential that you have never used! When you enter totally into this meditation, you will find that the higher levels of energy open up. So keep walking. Let the energy rise!

Step 2 (10 minutes): Relax.
