Welcome all new, returning and crash n burning R & B Yogis! We are back again to "Bring Prosperity into Your Life" with a 3 part kriya that we will do for 40 consecutive days. The entire session takes a little over 15 minutes from start to finish. So give yourself plenty of time in the morning to get it in. And don't be shy about changing positions and stretching your legs in between sections. I still think morning practice is the best because it sets the tone for your day and it also gives little time to create excuses not to do it. Without intending our minds create a million and one excuses to not sit that ass down. But one's practice should be as vital as one's hygiene. So don't be spiritually stank. Make this meditation, MAKE YOU your priority and watch the abundance flow!
PART ONE:
TO BEGIN: Sit in an Easy Pose, with a light jalandhar bandh, or neck lock. Keep the spine straight. Rub your hands together. Press your thumbs against your sternum holding your hands in prayer pose. Roll your eyes in and up towards your third-eye by crossing your eyes at the bridge of your nose and then lifting your eyes about an inch and a half. If you are unable to sit in "easy pose," you may sit on a hard chair and cross your feet underneath you.
On two breaths, chant the opening mantra ONG NA MA GURU DEV NAMO which means I bow to the infinite wisdom within. Do this 3 times. For the proper cadence and pronunciation, listen here. If you like what you hear, you can purchase my mantra music on Bandcamp.
MUDRA: Place your right hand palm facing outward like you are taking an oath while your left hand in flat on top of your navel.
FOCUS: Eyes are closed. No specified focus.
PRANAYAM: Long deep breathing.
TIME: 8 minutes.
PART TWO:
MUDRA: Only finger tips touching in front of your heart center. Not the palms.
MANTRA: Whistle Ardas Bhaee:
Ardas Bhaee, Amar Das Guru
Amar Das Guru, Ardas Bhaee
Ram Das Guru, Ram Das Guru
Ram Das Guru, Sachee Sahee
Translation: “The prayer has gone out, Guru Amar Das hears the prayer and Guru Ram Das confirms it and is the true guarantee, that it is accepted.”
FOCUS: Eyes remain closed.
PRANAYAMA: If you can, take one deep breath and whistle the entire mantra on that one breath. If you are not able, you can breathe as you whistle. And if you can not whistle, try to learn. And/or listen to a recording (that doesn't make your ears bleed lol)
TIME: 4.5 minutes.
COMMENTS: “That whistle is the most powerful tape ever in the planet man can manifest. That tape is very good. We do not want even to say the words with it, because we don’t want to sell the words. We want people to just whistle. Because that permutation, combination, or rhythm of the breath with that whistling is most powerful. It has a very powerful subliminal effect. It’s personal… You whistle and it will rhythmically force the lungs to throw the toxins all out and you are cleansed. Whistle—it takes away fatigue. When soldiers get tired, they start whistling.”
PART THREE:
MUDRA: Extend the arms to the sides, right palm up and the left palm facing down. Like a dervish feel the heavens and the earth
PRANAYAM: Take a deep breath inhaling and hold the breath for 25 seconds. Then exhale with a cannon-fire breath as you exhale. Repeat 3Xs. The last time, while you are holding your breath, mentally say to yourself in the kindest and sweetest of ways: "It is ME and my purity that will give me health, wealth and happiness." Claim it. Exhale and relax.
TO FINISH: Resume your normal breathing and let the mantra, mudra and pranayama circulate in your body, mind and spirit. Then say aloud the Warrior Healer's Affirmations.
TO CLOSE: Rub your hands together and bring them to prayer pose, palms touching thumbs pressed against your sternum. Chant Long SAT NAM on one breath. Repeat this for a total of three times. Bring your hands to your forehead and bow. This seals the work in your frontal lobe. Your center for decision making.
NOTES: Prosperity doesn’t necessarily mean that we have wealth, health, and happiness. When a person is prosperous, there is that fragrance of security, grace, depth, character, and truthfulness, which that person can share. Like a rose emits fragrance, or a candle emits light, a prosperous human emits prosperity.
You can practice this kriya for up to 62 minutes by dividing the time equally among the three parts. If you extend the times, don’t extend them proportionately, practice each part equally.
Ok yogis there it is! Crash and burning is not even an option for us. We have to fight for this one. Like everything in life. It is what makes us warrior healers. And the world is ever more in need of us. And although everything we need is already here, we have to meet the universe/God/ourselves half way. We have to put the energy into practice: display in mind body and spirit, what we desire...we deserve.
