"There are two voices within us: One is the voice of the ego, and the other the voice of the soul. Justify yourself before the Creator, not before others. Consciously remember the link between you and your Creator. If you can stay free of entanglement from negativity, you are a living god on this earth. This meditation enables one to get lost in the sound current. 'Meditate and feel God for 40 days and you will be liberated.'" ~ p. 144, "Kundalini Yoga Sadhana Guidelines, 2nd ed.", 'Laya Yoga Meditation'
In less than two more weeks I will have done 120 days of Laya Yoga meditation. And now, I find that there are preliminary exercises for this meditation. Nadi Shodana, 10 breaths left nostril, ten breaths right; long deep breathing in prayer pose for 2 min.; Breath of Fire in prayer pose for 1 min.; long deep breathing with the hands in Gyan mudra and the arms up at 60 degrees for 2 min.
???? I never knew. It wasn't in our Teacher Training manual.
Also, this version recommends pulling uddiyana bandh successively higher and tighter with each "uh" sound.
I did this, and the meditation feels dramatically different. It is somehow deeper and richer. Sweeter.
So do I stop at 120 days?
Hi, good day. Thank you very much for sharing your discoveries. I tried to find that Nadhi Sodhana practice in my KY books, but couldnt find it.
ReplyDeleteCan you share the title and author of the book please?
Blessings and regards.
