ASK YOURSELF, AM I THESE SENSES, THE SENSES THAT DIE WITH THE BODY?

•                             NOW TRY TO BECOME AWARE OF YOURSELF, LOOK TO THE MIND, THE MIND BY WHICH YOU UNDERSTAND YOURSELF AND THE WORLD. ASK YOURSELF, AM I THE MIND, THE MIND THAT ALSO DIES? BECOME AWRE OF YOURSELF, LOOK AT YOURSELF AND BECOME AWARE OF YOUR AURA... BECOME AWARE OF THIS. ASK YORUSELF. AM I THIS AURA, WHOSE EXISTENCE IS TIED TO THE BODY? LOOK FURTHER... BECOME AWARE OF THE PRANA IN YOUR BODY. ASK YOURSELF, AM I THIS PRANA? AGAIN LOOK WITHIN AND BECOME AWARE OF THE EXISTENCE OF YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS, BY WHICH YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE PRACTISING YOGA NIDRA. ASK YOURSELF, AM I THIS CONSCIOUSNESS? DOES THIS CONSCIOUSNESS STILL SURVIVE AFTER THE DEATH OF THE BODY.

•                                   LOOK WITHIN, AND BECOME AWARE OF A GOLDEN EGG IN THE CENTRE OF YOUR BRAIN.. A GOLDEN EGG, VERY SMALL, VERY SMALL, THAT IS THE SEAT OF YOUR HIGHEST CONSCIOUSNESS.

                                   HOW TO BALANCE OUR

                            BODY HEAT AND COLD

                                                                 💟💟💟

 

                                  BEFORE BEGINNING THE ACTUAL PRACTICE OF YOGA NIDRA  WE MAKE A SANKALPA, A SHORT RESOLVE. A RESOLVE CAN BE OF THREE TYPES: MATERIAL, MENTAL OR SPIRITUAL. FIRST YOU MUST CHOOSE WHICH KIND OF RESOLVE YOU WANT TO MAKE. SOME PEOPLE RESOLVE TO GET RID OF BAD HABITS, CURE THEIR SICKNESS, SERVE HUMANITY IN A CERTAIN WAY, ACHIEVE SOME SIDDHI OR MYSTERIOUS POWER. BUT IT IS BETTER NOT TO WASTE THE POWER OF SANKALPA ON SUCH SMALL THINGS. A WISE MAN MAKES A SANKALPA TO ATTAIN DIVINE QUALITIES OR TO ACHIEVE PROGRESS ON THE SPIRITUAL PATH. THEREFORE, CONSIDER WELL BEFORE MAKING YOUR SANKALPA.

                             EVERY TIME YOU PRACTICE YOGA NIDRA, MEDITATION OR ANY SADHANA, YOU SHOULD REMEMBER YOUR SANKALPA IN THE BEGINNING AND REPEAT IT A FEW TIMES. YOU CAN DECIDE ON A SANKALPA NOW, OR YOU CAN WAIT UNTIL LATER ON. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY DECIDED ON ONE, RECALL IT NOW. ALTHOUGH YOU DON'T HAVE TO HURRY IN CHOOSING YOUR RESOLUTION, YOU CAN MAKE IT NOW, IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE, WHAT YOU WANT TO BE, OR WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IN YOUR LIFE.

                        CONSCIOUS THOUGHTS

                                                   💫💫💫💫

                                NOW I WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF YOUR PHYSICAL BODY. ONE BY ONE I WILL TAKE YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS TO EACH AND EVERY PART OF YOUR PHYSICAL BODY. AT THE SAME TIME YOU WILL VISUALIZE EACH PART AND REPEAT ITS NAME MENTALLY. YOU  ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE ANY PHYSICAL MOVEMENT. YOU ARE ONLY GOING TO MOVE THE CONSCIOUSNESS. VISUALIZE THAT PARTICULAR PART WHICH I WILL NAME, AND SAY THE NAME MENTALLY. GO ALONG WITH ME AT YOU WILL FOLLOW ALONG WITH YOUR AWARENESS.

                  AWARENESS OF SENSATION

                                                      ❤❤❤

                            👀  HEAT 👀

                          NOW, VISUALIZE THE WHOLE BODY LYING ON THE FLOOR COMPLETELY RELAXED AND TRANQUIL. FEEL THE BODY BECOMING VERY HOT. TRY TO EXPERIENCE THE SENSATION OF HEAT THROUGHOUT THE BODY.  RECALL THE FEELING OF BEING VERY, VERY HOT, WHETHER DUE TO SUMMER SUN, A HEATER, OR WARM CLOTHING. TRY TO CREATE THE SENSATION OF HEAT NOW. TRY TO FEEL THE SENSATION OF HEAT EXACTLY AS YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED IT IN THE PAST. IF YOU HAVE NEVER FELT EXTREME HEAT, THEN TRY TO FEEL IT NOW.

                       👀   COLD 👀

                        NEXT, REVERSE THE FEELING. TRY TO FEEL COLD. SHIVERING COLD, AS IF YOU ARE STANDING OUTSIDE IN AN ICY WIND, WEARING ONLY THIN CLOTHING. HOW CHILLED YOU WOULD FEEL. TRY TO FEEL THAT COLDNESS THROUGH CONSCIOUS EFFORT, BECAUSE THERE IS NO COLD WIND HERE. THERE ARE NO EXTERNAL INFLENCES AFFECTING THE BODY, TO MAKE YOU FEEL COLD. CREATE THIS SENSATION OF COLD WITH YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS. TRY TO EXPERIENCE THIS COLD.

                               HEAVINESS 💟

                            NOW, TRY TO EXPERIENCE HEAVINESS IN THE PHYSICAL BODY. THE BODY IS BECOMING HEAVIER AND HEAVIER. IT HAS BECOME SO HEAVY THAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO MOVE ANY PART. YOU ARE UNABLE TO RAISE EVEN AN EYELID. YOU ARE NOT EVEN ABLE TO WIGGLE THE TOES OR FINGERS, THE BODY HAS BECOME SO HEAVY.

                           LIGHTNESS  💟

                              NOW, EXPERIENCE THE SENSATION OF LIGHTNESS THROUGHOUT THE BODY, NOT HEAVINESS BUT LIGHTNESS. FEEL THE BODY BECOMING LIGHTER AND LIGHER AND LIGHTER, AS IF IT IS COMPLETELY WEIGHTLESS. THE BODY IS SO LIGHT, AS LIGHT AS LIGHT AS A PIECE OF COTTON. TRY TO EXPERIENCE THE LIGHTNESS OF YOUR PHYSICAL BODY.

                   CHAKRA VISUALIZATION

                                                     ❤❤

                            NOW WE WILL GO ON TO CHAKRA AWARENSS. IN THIS LIGHT, PHYSICAL BODY, VISUALIZE THE CHAKRAS, MOOLADHARA, SWADHISTHANA, MANIPURA, ANAHATA, VISHUDDHI, AJNA, AND SAHASRARA. SAHASRARA IS LOCATED AT THE CROWN OF THE HEAD. IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PITUITARY BODY. AJNA, THE GURU CHAKRA, IS BEHIND THE EYEBROW CENTRE. IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PINEAL BODY AT THE TOP OF THE SPINAL CORD. NEXT IS VISHUDDHI, LOCATED WITHIN THE SPINAL CORD, BEHIND THE THROAT WHERE YOU FEEL PALPITATIONS. BELOW IS ANAHATA, BEHIND THE HEART, MANIPURA BEHIND THE NAVEL, SWADHISTHANA AT THE THIRD DISC OF THE SACRUM, MOOLADHANA AT THE BASE OF THE SPINAL CORD WITHIN THE PERINEUM.

                   THESE CENTRES ARE JUNCTIONS FOR BRANCHES OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. THEY ARE SYMBOLIC, AND ARE ALWAYS REPRESENTED BY DIFFERENT COLOURED LOTUS FLOWERS.

                            TRYO TO REMEMBER THE LOCATION OF EACH CHAKRA AS IT IS NAMED. MOOLADHARA AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINAL CORD, SWADHISTHANA IN THE THIRD DISC OF THE SACRUM, MANIPURA BEHIND THE NAVEL IN THE SPINAL CORD, ANAHATA BEHIND THE HEART, VISHUDDHI BEHIND THE THROAT, AJNA AT THE TOP OF THE SPINAL CORD AND SAHASRARA AT THE CROWN OF THE HEAD. THIS LIGHT BODY YOU ARE EXPERIENCING IS ABLE TO SEE THE SUBTLE BODY WITHIN, AND THE PLACES WHERE THE CHAKRAS ARE SITUATED.

                           💫    FINISH  💫

                              NOW GET READY TO END THE PRACTICE. AGAIN REMEMBER YOUR SANKALPA AND REPEAT IT MENTALLY. WITHOUT OPENING THE EYES, YOU MAY QUIETLY SIT UP AND TURN AROUND. YOU MAY PLACE THE PALMS OVER THE EYES AND HOLD THEM THERE FOR SOME TIME. NOW BRING THEM DOWN AND MOVE THE PHYSICAL BODY, GRADUALLY AND QUIETLY, WITHOUT STRETCHING OR TOUCHING ANYONE. SIT WITH THE HEAD STRAIGHT, EYES CLOSED, AND PALMS ON THE KNEES. WE WILL CHANT OM THREE TIMES TOGETHER. BREATHE IN DEEPLY... OM, OM, OM.

                       THE IMPORTANT NOTES OF 

                                   OUR BREATH!

                              INTRODUCTION

                                                            💫💫💫

                                 THE LANGUAGE OF THE INSTRUCTIONS DOES NOT MATTER IN YOGA NIDRA. IF YOU PRACTICE IN A COMPLETELY UNKNOWN LAUGUAGE, YOU ARE ACTUALLY BYPASSING THE INTELLECTUAL ASPECT OF YOGA NIDRA. FOR INSTANCE, EVEN IF I DICTATE TO YOU IN HINDI INSTEAD OF ENGLISH, YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS WILL STILL BECOME MORE AWARE. IF IS THE TONE OF VOICE, THE PERSON AND THE PERSONALITY THAT ARE IMPORTANT. SINCE AN INSTRUCTOR IS NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE, YOU CAN LISTEN TO A RECORDING AND PRACTICE THE TECHNIQUE. START THE RECORDING, LIE DOWN AND LISTEN TO THE VOICE, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE. THE SOUND OF THE VOICE OF A GREAT PERSON SUCH AS YOUR GURU WILL HAVE A GREAT IMPACT OF YOUR WHOLE PHYSICAL AND PSYCHO-EMOTIONAL STRUCTURE. BECAUSE THIS VOICE IS NOT JUST THE VOICE OF AN ORDINARY PERSON, IT WORKS MORE LIKE A GRACE AND BLESSING. IF SWAMIJI TAUGHT YOU IN SANSKRIT IT WOULD BE BETTER STILL, BECAUSE IT IS THE MELODY OF THE LANGUAGE, AS WELL AS ITS MEANING, WHICH GOEST INTO THE INTERIOR CONSCIOUSNESS AND RESTRUCTURES YOUR AWARENESS.

                                    PREPARATION :👀❤👀

•                             NOW GET READY FOR THE PRACTICE OF YOGA NIDRA. LIE DOWN AND COVER YOURSELF, AT LEAST THE FEET, IF NECESSARY. HEAD SHOULD BE RESTING ON THE MAT. CLOSE THE EYES AND LIE SHAVASANA, PALMS FACING UPWARDS, FEET A LITTLE APART. ANY MOVEMENT YOU WANT TO MAKE, PLEASE DO IT NOW. THEN YOU SHOULD NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO MOVE PHYSICALLY FOR AT LEAST FORTY-FIVE MINUTES.

•                             KEEP THE EYES AND THE MOUTH CLOSED. STOP ALL PHYSICAL MOVEMENT, AND LIE COMPLETELY MOTIONLESS, LIKE A DEAD BODY IN SHAVASANA. THE BODY IS QUIET, BUT UNDER YOUR CONTROL. YOU ARE STILL CONSCIOUS, ALTHOUGH YOU ARE NOT ALLOWING THE BODY TO MOVE. NO PHYSICAL MOVEMENT. NO MOVEMENT OF THE TOES, FINGERS, HEAD OR LEGS. NO QUIVERING OF ANY PART OF THE BODY. NO TIGHTENING OF ANY MUSCLES. NO STRETCHING OF THE BODY.

                             RELAXATION :💫❤💫

•                                    NOW, TAKE YOUR AWARENESS INSIDE AND BEGIN TO INVESTIGATE THE WHOLE PHYSICAL BODY. EVERY JOINT AND MUSCLE SHOULD BE COMPLETELY RELAXED. RELAX THE PALMS, FINGERS, FEET, TOES, ANKLES, CALF MUSCLES, KNEES, THIGHS, HAMSTRINGS, BUTTOCKS, BACK, SHOULDERS, CHEST, ARMS, ELBOWS, HANDS, HEAD AND NECK. RELA THE WHOLE BODY. INVESTIGATE IF THERE IS ANY TENSION. IF THERE IS TENSION, LOOSEN IT. IF THE MUSCLES ARE TIGHT, RELEASE THEM.

•                               NOW THERE SHOUDL BE NO MORE PHYSICAL MOVEMENT. DURING THE PERIOD OF YOGA NIDRA YOU SHOULD NOT MOVE THE PHYSICAL BODY. NO PHYSICAL MOVEMENT SHOULD TAKE PLACE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, NO MATTER WHAT SENSATION YOU MAY FEEL, WHETHER ITCHING, PAIN, MOSQUITOES OR INSECTS BITING YOU. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, YOU SHOULD NOT MOVE THE PHYSICAL BODY. THIS IS THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT CONDITION FOR YOGA NIDRA.

•                                YOU ARE ALSO NOT SUPPOSED TO SLEEP. YOGA NIDRA IS THE PRACTICE TO MAKE YOU MORE AND MORE AWARE, TO RAISE THE SUBTLE INNER AWARENESS, NOT THE GROSS UPPER LAYER. LET THE WHOLE BODY REMAIN QUIET FOR SOME TIME AND WORK WITH THE SUBTLE AWARENESS.

                         AWARENESS OF SUBTLE

                           MOVEMENT AND BREATH

                                                           💟❤💟

 

•                                  NOW THAT YOUR WHOLE PHYSICAL BODY IS QUIET AND NOT MOVING. TRY TO EXPERIENCE ALL THE SUBTLE MOVEMENTS IN THE BODY. THE PHYSICAL BODY IS MOVING ON ITS OWN, WITHOUT EFFORT, IN SPITE OF ALL CONTROL. WHICH PART ARE MOVING? WHERE IS THE MOVEMENT? ARE YOUR FEET MOVING? ARE THE TOES, FINGERS OR THIGHS TWITCHING? IS THE HEAD TURNED TO ONE SIDE? IS THE CHEST OR THE STOMACH MOVING?

                              

•                              YES, THE STOMACH IS MOVING FORWARD AND BACK, UP AND DOWN. YOU ARE NOT DOING THIS. IT IS HAPPENING ON ITS OWN AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO STOP IT. JUST WATCH IT. HOW DOES ALL THIS MOVEMENT TAKE PLACE? HAVE YOU DISCOVERED THE REASON FOR THE MOVEMENT OF THE NAVEL, THE STOMACH, THE ABDOMEN AND THE CHEST?

•                             THEY SEEM TO BE EXPANDING AND CONTRACTING A LITTLE BIT ALL THE TIME. THE BREATH IS FLOWING IN AND OUT, AND AS A RESULT THE CHEST SEEMS TO BE EXPANDING AND CONTRACTING JUST A LITTLE. IN THE THROAT, BETWEEN THE COLLARBONES, THERE ALSO SEEMS TO BE SOME MOVEMENT. THE DEPRESSION OF THE THROAT SEEMS TO BE MOVING UPWARD AND DOWNWARD WITH RESPIRATION.

•                         THE BREATH IS GOING IN AND OUT THROUGH THE NOSTRILS. PARTICULARLY WATCH THE PROCESS OF THE BREATH. THE MOVMENT SEEMS TO BE FROM THE NAVEL UP TO THE THROAT IN, AND FROM THE THROAT DOWN TO THE NAVEL, OUT. KEEP ON WATCHING, JUST WITNESS IT. THIS IS SAKSHI BHAVA, THE ATTITUDE OF WITNESSING.

•                      NOW LET YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS ROTATE BETWEEN THE THROAT AND NAVEL. THE MOVEMENT OF THE BREATH MAY BE THROUGH THE NOSTRILS, BUT THE CONSCIOUSNESS MUST GO FROM THE NAVEL TO THE THROAT AND FROM THE THROAT TO THE NAVEL.

HOW TO CONCENTRATE OUR THIRD EYE?

 

                         THE YOGA CLASS  (SHORT FORM)

                             INTRODUCTION

                             YOGA NIDRA IS A FORM OF TANTRA. IT IS NOT SLEEPING. IT IS NOT CONCENTRATION. IT IS OPENING THE INNER CHAMBERS OF YOUR MIND. IN YOGA NIDRA, YOU STEP DOWN INTO THE INTERNAL DIMEMSION OF YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING IN YOGA NIDRA, IT DOES NOT MATTER. THE SOUND OF MY VOICE ACTS AS A ROPE. JUST AS YOU TAKE A ROPE AND TO IN AND OUT OF THE DEPTHS OF A CAVE, SO WITH THE HELP OF SOUND, YOU WILL VENTURE IN AND OUT OF THE MIND.

                         PREPARATION

                                 GET READY FOR YOGA NIDRA. EYES ARE CLOSED AND THE BODY IS STILL. THE MIND IS IN MOOD TO RELAX. YOU ARE NOT TRYING TO CONCENTRATE. MAKE NO EFFORT TO CONTROL THE MIND.

                               YOU ARE PRACTISING YOGA NIDRA. BECOME AWARE OF YOUR WHOLE BODY. YOU ARE LYING IN A BEAUTIFUL ROOM WITH OTHER PEOPLE ON THE SAME MENTAL LEVEL. ALMOST EVERYBODY IS EMITTING THE SAME FREQUENCY OF VIBRATION. THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE IS CHARGED WITH ONE TYPE OF POWERFUL VIBRATION. IN THIS ATMOSPHERE YOU ARE LYING ON YOUR MAT. YOUR BODY IS STILL.

                             THE SOUND OF YOUR BREATH IS VERY RYTHMIC AND SLOW. YOUR BODY IS IN A STATE OF RELAXATION. NOW THINK MENTALLY, "I AM GOING TO PRACTICE YOGA NIDRA. I AM LISTENING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. A CONSTANT AND MYSELF. I CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF HIS VOICE AND WE ARE CONNECTED. ONE TRANSMITTER AND MANY RECEIVERS".

                      RESOLVE

                                  AT THIS POINT REMEMBER THAT A SANKALPA HAS TO BE MADE. THE SANKALPA IS A RESOLUTION. YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAKE OF ONE, DO IT NOW. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE, IT CAN WAIT. THE GREATEST OF ALL SANKALPAS IS THE RESOLVE TO AWAKEN KUNDALINI WHO DWELLS IN MOOLADHARA CHAKRA. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A SANKALPA, PLEASE REPEAT IT. BUT IF YOU NEED ONE, YOU CAN USE THIS SANKALPA. " I AM AWAKENING KUNDALINI, WHO DWELLS IN MOOLADHARA CHAKRA, AND MAKES ITS HEADWAY THROUGH SUSHUMNA UP TO SAHASRARA". THIS IS THE SANKALPA: "I AM AWAKENING MY KUNDALINI".

                        ROTATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS: KEEP LISTENING TO ME, AND GO ON DOING THE PRACTICES I INDICATE. NO CONCENTRATION PLEASE. DO NOT TRY TO ANALYZE THINGS. BECOME AWARE OF YOUR RIGHT HAND THUMB AND MENTALLY SAY, "RIGHT HAND THUMB", NO MOVEMENT.

•                LEFT SIDE
•                BACK SIDE
•                FRONT SIDE
•                BODY/FLOOR CONTACT

                        

                            AWARENESS OF SENSATIONS

                                     HEAVINESS: JUST IMAGINE YOUR MIND THAT THE BODY IS BECOMING VERY HEAVY. AWAKEN THE  IDEA OF HEAVINESS IN THE BODY. GRADUALLY FEEL THAT THE BODY IS BECOMING HEAVIER AND HEAVIER. THE HEAD IS BECOMING HEAVY. THE RIGHT PALM IS HEAVY, LEFT PALM IS HEAVY. BOTH ARMS AND THE SHOULDERS ARE HEAVY. THE BACK IS HEAVY, AND BUTTOCKS AND THE GROIN ARE HEAVY. THE RIGHT THIGH IS HEAVY, THE LEFT THIGH IS HEAVY. THE RIGHT THIGH IS HEAVY. BOTH THE KNEECAPS ARE HEAVY, BOTH LEGS ARE HEAVY, BOTH ARMS ARE HEAVY, THE WHOLE HEAD IS HEAVY, THE EYES ARE HEAVY, THE LIPS ARE HEAVY. WHOLE BODY IS HEAVY. KEEP ON THINKING THAT THE WHOLE BODY IS HEAVY, INTENSIFY THE FEELING OF HEAVINESS. THEN, GRADUALLY RELAX, PARY BY PART.

                           ALTERNATION OF HEAVINESS AND LIGHTNESS

                             COTTON REPRESENTS LIGHTENESS AND STEEL REPRESENTS HEAVINESS. NOW PRACTICE THESE TWO EXPERIENCES ALTERNATELY. THE WHOLE BODY IS STEEL, THE WHOLE BODY STEEL. THERE ARE NO BONES, MARROW OR BLOOD, JUST A STEEL FRAME. CHANGE THE IDEA. THE WHOLE BODY IS COTTON. THE WHOLE BODY IS AS LIGHT AS COTTON. 

                               AGAIN CHANGE THE IDEA. THE WHOLE BODY IS LIKE STEEL, HEAVY STEEL, NO BONE, MARROW OR BLOOD. THE WHOLE BODY IS AS HEAVY AS STEEL. CHANGE THE IDEA.

                         AWARENESS OF COUNTING AND BREATH.. NO SLEEPING... IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE YOU MUST GO BACK TO THE START. BREATHING THROUGH THE EYEBROW CENTRE, BE SURE THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF COUNTING... IF YOU REALIZE ZERO, GO BACK TO 54 AND START AGAIN. CEASE YOUR COUNTING BUT MAINTAIN AWARENESS OF BREATHING... YOU ARE AWARE OF BREATHING, AND YOU ARE AWARE THAT YOU ARE LYING IN SHAVASANA, NOTHING ELSE BESIDES THESE .
