Pppppppppp Manipuraka Practice Session
~ Centering Meditation Duration 2 Minutes
- - Sit in a comfortable seated position sukhasana (cross-legged on the floor).
- - Close your eyes and relax into a soft smile.
- - Begin to gather yourself in awareness. This is not a prāṇāyāma (breath control) technique. Simply observe your normal breathing.
- - Avoid concentrating on your breath; just become a watcher. If thoughts arise, allow them to come up. Don't hold on to them, don't go behind or suppress them. Just acknowledge the thoughts and allow them to continue on their way.
~ Intention
Duration 1 Minute
- - Set your strong intention for the class ahead.
- - Add awareness and life to each movement practiced.
- - Intend that each movement, each breath will be an expression of your true state of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. Begin your practice with the understanding that you are an embodiment of blissful energy and each movement and each breath will be practiced with this awareness.
~ Visualization
Duration 1 Minute
Once you are familiar with Nithya Surya Namaskar, you can take a minute to visualize your body performing one repetition. This will awaken your muscle intelligence and memory. This visualization will allow your body to flow harmoniously into the posture, as opposed to struggling and fighting to move through the sequence.
~ Nithya Surya Namaskar
