 1..18 ASANA

Each position has its counter position; this means that the muscles that are stretched during a position are
relaxed in the following one. For example, positions n.3 and n.4 go together, like n.5 and n.6, etc. Ease off on it
after each position; relaxation is the primary purpose of all positions. If they are not performed with this
purpose in mind, they will become simple gymnastics. Keeping a position for one or two minutes will preserve
you in good health. You can remain in a position for a longer time if you desire to treat a specific problem.
Focus on the body, on its feelings and tensions. Relax the muscles that are not directly involved in the position
that you are performing.

[1] Kriya Asana Vanekom Salutation pose

Kneel down. Gently prop the top of the head on the floor, while the arms rest along the sides. Join the
palms of the hands together and place them in front of the head. Lift the feet remaining in equilibrium on the

[2] Kriya Surya Namaskar Sun worship

This worship should be ideally practiced each morning before 9 a.m. in the open air, with the body
exposed to the solar rays, after having taken a bath in a river, lake or sea and the water is still dripping from
your body. Slowly, turn in a clockwise direction, with hands joined over the head, exposing all of the parts of
the body to the rays of sun. Your attitude is of gratitude for the energy that you are receiving. Kneel down and
assume the previously described salutation pose. Then bring the right knee forward, stretch the left leg behind,

 [19] KRIYA KUNDALINI PRANAYAMA

To explain this technique we introduce its six different aspects. A beginner practices them more or less
separately: only when they are familiar with them should they practice them simultaneously. The six aspects
harmonize and help each other: it is not excessively difficult to amalgamate them together. It is preferable to
practice in the Half Lotus position or in Siddhasana. Before beginning, one swallows some drops of vegetable
oil. After having practiced this exercise, one remains at least twenty minutes in meditation, either feeling that
the subtle process originated from KKP (Kriya Kundalini Pranayama) goes on spontaneously while the breath,
no more controlled, eases off or practicing what we call Dhyana Kriya.

First aspect: Nada

By breathing through the nose, we allow the air entering and leaving our lungs to make a noise. It is
advisable to keep the throat relaxed during inhalation, and slightly closed during exhalation whilst trying to
make a sound which has the highest possible frequency like the sharp note of a small flute. The tongue is
turned back, the throat slightly expanded, the mouth closed. The drops of swallowed oil will help to make the
sound of our breath smooth. By keeping a slow, deep rhythm of breathing, we listen to the sound of the breath
and think intensely VAAAA... during inhalation and SHIII.... during exhalation. It is as if our breath would repeat
VA and SHI which becomes SHIVA. (It is remarkable the fact that "Vashi" in Tamil means breath.) Listening to
these sounds encourages the internalization of awareness, and also helps the energy to circulate (see the
fourth aspect below).

Second aspect: Nauli

Now we turn our attention to the muscles that are used in the breathing process. At the beginning of
inhalation, we expand the abdomen pushing down the diaphragm (the navel is pushed out); then we expand
the chest, and then we slightly lift the shoulders. During exhalation the reverse process happens. We are
careful that the navel comes inside, toward the backbone, while a hollow appears in the abdomen. The
awareness of the muscles involved in the breathing process and, particularly, of the navel (which continually
moves out and in), produces a very important effect. We start to perceive the Prana, the energy inside the
body, as well as the energy surrounding the body. The more you put your awareness on the muscles, the more
you transcend the consciousness of the physical body and perceive what is beyond it. Day by day the quantity
of energy you are able to extract from the air increases.

Third aspect: Sita Ushna

Next we concentrate on the coolness and warmth of the inhaled and exhaled air, and these sensations are
intensified through our visualization. The air that is inhaled is cold and to its coolness we mentally create an
even colder sensation; I would say "glacial". You must feel coldness throughout the whole body. When you
exhale, you concentrate on the warmth of the air and mentally increase this warm sensation. You may visualize
a fire. You imagine a wave of heat departing from abdomen, lungs and throat, pervading the whole body.
Kundalini is awakened through the coolness and is stimulated through the warmth. Kundalini is a current of
enormous intensity; it warms up the channel through which it passes. We develop the ability to withstand the
power of this current by increasing the perception of heat during exhalation. The real awakening and climbing
up of Kundalini will happen as soon as there are no obstacles in Sushumna and there is also enough strength of
attraction from Sahasrara – this is developed through the fifth aspect of KKP.

Fourth aspect: Ida - Pingala

We visualize the two nadis Ida and Pingala as two thin pipes at the sides of the spine: they reach the back
of the head (see figure). We visualize a dish resting upon the head. On the dish there are two feet: they
symbolize the Divine above us. When we inhale we visualize a sphere of intense blue light (like the blue of the
sky) rising up inside Ida, reaching and touching the left heel of the dish on top of the head. At this moment the
sphere becomes liquid and, in the two last seconds of the inhalation this liquid circulates around the left side of
the left foot, as to wash this side of the foot. As soon as it reaches the middle point between the two big toes,
the inhalation is completed and the exhalation begins. This liquid whose color is now of a delicate blue-like-
turquoise continues its way and washes the external side of the right foot and starts going down slowly on the
outside of the thin pipe (Pingala). This liquid has the density of oil and therefore leaves a residue – the thin
pipe remains oiled. When it reaches Muladhara the exhalation is completed and the liquid will be completely
exhausted.
The little blue ball represents the unrefined sexual energy that we want to draw upwards, so that it is
transformed. For this reason when it ascends it doesn't touch the Chakras and doesn't leave any residue. By
rotating it around the feet of the Divine it is transformed, purified and then whilst it descends it feeds the
Chakras. As it does so it also enters the various nadis, and on departing from them it passes through and
nourishes each cell of the body. Since we are going to practice all these phases simultaneously, during
inhalation the blue ball will be perceived cold and, during the exhalation the liquid will be perceived as a very
warm oil.

Fifth aspect: Eka nylai

We turn our eyes upward, feeling – at least at first – a slight tension in the muscles of the eyes. The top of
the head gradually becomes the center around which the whole being is gathered. You will feel you exist
outside the physical body – expanded and infinitely vast. If the eyes go upwards, the energy also will go
upwards: this really opens the door of Sushumna.

Sixth aspect: Kaneeda tahoopo

With each breath we lose a certain amount of energy because we send forth more Prana than the quantity
we brought in through inhalation. To control this it is necessary to slow down the exhalation. In KKP the
exhalation lasts double that of inhalation. This harmonizes very well with all the preceding aspects. After the
practice of Kriya this rhythm continues by itself and produces a great sense of energy and calmness. During the
day it is recommended that you check and re-establish this rhythm as frequently as possible. In sleep we
breathe with an inverse rhythm, and it is for this reason that too many hours spent sleeping will have a
weakening effect. The name "Kaneeda Tahoopo" means "mathematic formula" and refers to the mathematical
relationship (1:2) between time employed during inhalation and time employed during exhalation. To correctly
achieve this rhythm it is necessary to do some Kriyas while mentally counting.
 20...25 DHYANA

The following techniques are useful for various purposes: to cleanse the subconscious; to direct the
energies towards positive purposes thus improving the quality of life, or to prepare for the higher states of
meditation ultimately leading to Samadhi. The general rules are:
I. A minimum of 15 minutes a day. Even better are two sessions a day after Pranayama.
II. Comfortable position. The position with crossed arms and fingers in Chin Mudra or in Jana Mudra, is
recommended
III. Avoid choosing a living person (except Babaji) as the object of meditation.
IV. At the end of each session write an account in a diary in order to assist forming a sense of detachment.

[20] Shuddi
This is the basic technique which, once consolidated, makes all the others possible. It cleanses the
subconscious. The key for its success lies in developing an attitude of detachment. Observe the thoughts that
spontaneously come; do not try to suppress them or encourage them. As soon as they appear, repeat:
"detachment." You realize that those thoughts don't belong to you, they are separate from you. It deals with
doing what we don't do in life. In fact you usually amplify, day-dream or banish from your mind. If it seems that
you are overwhelmed by a great many thoughts, it is a good sign that you are doing lots of cleaning work: the
dirt comes to the surface and, with the detachment, you free yourself from it. If there are no thoughts and you
remain detached even from the thought you have realized detachment then you are in a very pure state of
silence. You are on the threshold of Samadhi. With practice, moments of pure rapture will follow.

[21] Eka Rupa

Select an object upon which to meditate and choose only one detail of it. Start with three minutes of
Shuddi and then focus on the selected item and try to keep the attention upon it for 10 to 15 minutes. No
other sense should be involved but the pure visualization of the particular detail. If too many distractions arise,
calmy return to the practice of Shuddi in order to realize greater detachment. (Choose an interesting or
important object, otherwise you will get bored. Make sure you select an object in which it is possible to discern
details – the sun and the sky are not proper subjects). If the technique develops favorably then the next time
you engage in this practice you should select another detail of the object – or you may select a different object.

[22] Eenay Rupa

Start with one minute of Shuddi and one minute of the previous technique, and then visualize every part
of the selected object and its surroundings. Make use only of the sense of sight – like watching a silent movie.
Whatever adventure can be created, you are free to explore anything. You can visualize (creating the mental
image in your mind) a place where you would like to live, or an ideal job different from your actual one. If you
suffer from any ailment, you can use this technique to cooperate with the medicine by visualizing the hoped for
results. It can be a totally imaginary film or a real one based upon the memory of an actual event, or both. It
can be from the past or from the future. The purpose of this technique is to develop the power of visualization:
you want to become the master of your destiny, remodeling your life. When a thing is vividly created in the
mind, the road is open for it to become reality.

[23] Arupa
Choose an abstract subject on which you are willing to meditate (for example: courage, sincerity, justice,
etc). The subject should be something that appeals to you. After having practiced one minute of Shuddi, begin
to mentally conceive a written account on the subject or imagine you are explaining it to another person. First
try to define the chosen subject, and then enumerate its different aspects. Translate any visual image into an
idea. Remain detached: do not enter the kingdom of emotions. For example if you meditate upon joy, you must
avoid perceiving joy. Just define the abstract idea of joy. This technique develops the power of the pure
reasoning, the ability to distinguish certain subtleties inside the same abstract subject. It helps to distinguish
reality from illusion. The yogi should always improve the ability of discrimination and be able to conquer all
illusion. Nobody should believe they are impervious to the traps of deception.
[24] Purna Bhava Indriya
This technique is the completion of technique number 22. Start with Shuddi, then with the silent film, and
then introduce gradually the four remaining senses, and finally include the emotions. It is preferable to create a
very rich adventure in which there are sounds, some objects to be touched, and food to be tasted. Obviously
there must be some continuity or thread connecting all the various events. This technique is even more
powerful than number 22: it is the convergence of all the previous techniques of meditation. For this reason, it
is necessary to have some forethought as to how you are going to live out your visualizations. For example you
can ask: "Having so many desires, which is the one I would like to realize first? Which is the one that -if realized
-will give not only the maximum happiness to me but also to other people as well?" Once a decision is made,
create an adventure that has the realization of this desire as the ultimate goal. You can allow things to happen
by themselves and desires to emerge freely. In this case a continuous vigilance is necessary so that the
situation develops in an interesting way and is always full of lessons and emotions. If you visualize a teacher
that talks to you, you could, for instance, introduce the intellective aspect and use your previous experience
with technique number 23.

[25] Pulse meditation

Use one hand to test the pulse in the other wrist. Remove the hand and try to perceive the pulse in the
whole body. With practice you will soon be able to feel the pulse in every part of the body, and in any moment.
This technique enhances the psychic powers, enabling one to influence other people. Be very careful with this
power and utilize it only for positive purposes!

 27...33 OTHER ASANAS

[27] Mayurasana (Peacock

)The body is kept up by the strength of the forearms. The main point is to perceive a strong pressureon the
liver.

[28] Parda Asana Nauli Kriya

It is the counterpart of the preceding technique: its aim is to relax the muscles which had been tensed. We
practice it by standing with our feet spread open a bit more than shoulder width, with knees slightly bent,
leaning forward enough to rest our hands on our knees. We move the abdomen in and out, mentally chanting
Om-Om-Om ... (about two Oms per second). The muscles of the back are relaxed. The abdominal muscles
should go as near the backbone as possible.

[29] Sirshasana (Head stand)

There are various ways of practicing it: it is advisable to lean on a wall. This Asana should not beheld for
more than two minutes.

[30] Garudasana (Eagle)

The right leg is over the left leg and the right forearm is under the left forearm. After one minuteyou
reverse the position. It is useful to avoid that the increased head energy begins to immediatelycirculate
through the nadis and the Chakras.

[31] Amarntha kokku asana hooki bandah kooram (Sitting crane pose with lock in the
waist).
Sitting on a chair, the hands are united behind the back. Bend forward. Lengthen various times thehead
forward (parallel to the ground) of about a centimeter. This opens the nadis.

[32] Pathi chakra asana vanekam Mudra kooram (Half wheel with salutation mudra)
It is the same position of the half wheel (n.12) save that the hands are united above the navel withthe
fingers turned upward. It is useful to the make the energy circulate in the Manipura. If the Nadisare opened
through the previous Asana, the energy of the Manipura is brought toward theSahasrara.

[33] Trikonasana with Mudras

To understand this we need to know well the two phases of Asana n.17 (Trikonasana).First phase: with
reference to the first phase of Asana n.17, the finger upon which we focus our gazemust be lowered, while the
other must rest on the shoulder. While lowering the finger, the thumbmassages vigorously the shoulder,
especially the hollow that is being created between neck and theupper part of the shoulder. The movement
may cause pain in the forearm.Second phase: with reference to the second phase of Asana n.17, both hands
are on the shouldersand the thumbs massage them strongly.Third phase: the basic Asana n.17 is performed
completely (both phases).Fourth phase: the first phase (of this current Asana n.33) is performed again putting
the loweredhand on the inner side of the foot. Move it up and down. Massage also the external side of the
foot.This position sets the body up for the flow of pranic energy.
 34...55 EXERCISES FOR THE EYES

[34] Nindra Shanti Tratak Kriya [Standing relaxation eye exercise]

Put the hands behind the back. Move head and trunk to the right and to the left. Go ahead with thisfrom
one to five minutes. The eyes move with the head but what is important is to avoid staring atanything in
particular: the eyes should not be focused on anything.

[35] Amantha Shanti Tratak Kriya [Sitting peace eye exercise]

It is the same exercise but in a sitting position. You just move the head sideways. The eyes arealways
relaxed, you watch nothing in particular. Continue for a maximum of three minutes.

[36] Airtaka Tratak Kriya [Concentration eye exercise]

Take a piece of a newspaper with a text in small font. Focus on one single character at a time andtry to see
every imperfection of it. Linger for five seconds on each letter; examine no more than twolines.

[37] Purna Shanti Tratak Kriya [Complete peace eye exercise]

Cover up your eyes for five minutes. You will see various lights but then it all becomes uniform and dark.
The lights are a sign of mental activities. Press on the bones surrounding the eyes but not on the eyes
themselves. You can rest the elbows on the knees.

38... 55 TRATAK ON THE SIDDHAS

Look at the photo of a particular Siddha. During the first two minutes, practice Shuddi (technique number
20). Then focus on a part of the photo, on one, unique point (technique number 21). Imagination can be used:
the photo is only a starting point. All of a sudden, you can start to see other things (technique number 22). If
for example you look at the red point on the forehead, that is not very clear, however you can see the grains of
dust: you can see that it is not perfectly round, that there are some imperfections. Then you can visualize the
Siddha while he is doing something. There are no feelings, only vision. Then you reflect on an abstract object
(technique number 23) whatever it may be --you can take a quote from the Holy Writing for example. Then you
begin to feel heat, wind, emotions... (technique number 24), in other words you are sitting there with the
Siddha.
After twenty minutes you use at least 16 times either the Mantra of Shiva or the Mantra of Vishnu,
depending on the Siddha being a disciple of Shiva or of Vishnu. (See the book of 18 Siddhas) (The mantra of
Shiva is: Om nama shivaya sing vang kim am. That of Vishnu is: Om namo bhagavate vasudevaya).
 56...69 DEEPENING PRANAYAMA

[56] Matreika Pranayama

Breathe through the nose making constantly a sound in the throat (shiii -- both during inhalation and
exhalation) with the rhythm 2:0:2:0.(This means: inhale very slowly; don't hold your breath; exhale very slowly
employing about the same time used during inhalation; begin inhalation immediately without making a
pause.)This Pranayama gives a big recharge of energy to the whole being. After having practiced it, you will
realize that the breath is very calm and thus the mind is also calmed.

[57] Purna Shuddi [Complete cleansing breath]

Inhale through the nose with a long and deep inhalation using all the muscles and then exhale through the
mouth with the superior lip covering the inferior lip. The exhalation ends brusquely:"... ffft". Repeat seven
times.

[58] Hatha Shuddi

Inhale through the nose and exhale forcefully using only one nostril. Repeat five times for each nostril. This
removes mucus from the nose. You may visualize that you are cleaning the spine during this process.

[59] Nahishi Suriya Kali Matreika Pranayama [Nasal solar rhythmic breath]
Breathe only through the right nostril and repeat 25 times. The effect is to heat the body. The rhythm is
that of Matreika (technique number 56).

[60] Nahisi Chandira Kali Matreika Pranayama

Breathe only through the left nostril and repeat 25 times. The effect is to cool the body. The rhythm is that
of Matreika.

[61] Kye Kurli Shi Dalal Pranayama [Hand-tube cooling breath]

Form a tube with your hands; inhale through it with your mouth. The tongue is also curled into a tube:
while inhaling you will feel all the freshness of the air. Exhale through the nose directing the fresh breath in
whatever part of the body there is a need. While you inhale, make a light noise. Repeat this process seven
times.

[62] Swasha Kasha Naye Pranayama [Pulmonary tuberculosis breath]

During the last seconds of the inhalation the shoulders are pushed in the front. This opens the frontal parts
of the chest. At the beginning of the exhalation simply allow them to relax and let the shoulders drop. You will
feel a particular effect at the Pranic level. Repeat ten times.

[63] Reshak Kanai Naye Pranayama [Exhalation Asthma Pranayama]

Inhale through the nose and exhale in small amounts through the mouth with the lips in the same position
as technique number 57. Repeat seven times.

[64] Purak Kanai Nye Pranayama [Inhalation Asthma Pranayama]

Inhale in small amounts and exhale as in technique number 57. Repeat seven times.

[65] Purak Reshak Kanay Naye Pranayama [Inhalation Exhalation Asthma Pranayama]
Inhale in small amounts and exhale in small amounts through the mouth with the lips in the sameposition
as technique number 57. Repeat seven times.
[66] Nye Pranayama [Dog breathing]
Breathe like a dog, slowly with the tongue hanging outside the mouth. It has a refreshing effect.

[67] Pranayama Gatie [Animal Pranayama]

Keeping the mouth closed, make a very loud sound like the howling of an animal. Make this onlyduring
inhalation; then only during exhalation, and then during both inhalation and exhalation –three minutes each,
for a total of nine minutes.

[68] Tooka Pranayama [Sleeping Pranayama]

The rhythm to be created in your breath is 2:0:1:0. (Inhale very slowly; don't hold your breath; exhale
employing half the time used during inhalation;begin inhalation immediately without making a pause.)There is
a light sound in the throat, no Kechari Mudra. This Pranayama induces a drowsiness sincethat rhythm is the
natural rhythm of the sleep.

[69] Prana Darshana Dhyana Kriya

Gaze up into the sky with the eyes not focused on anything in particular. You will see small particles of light
that dance like small fireflies pushed around by the wind. In places where spiritually oriented people live, you
will see a lot of them. Then you will see stains and dark lines not touched by the wind: these are tied to the
astral world. You might also see entities, spirits of nature, which are present in certain places.
 70...77 IMPLETION OF DHYANA

[70] Single smell meditation technique

Choose an odor that is not present around you and, after 3 minutes of Shuddi, focus your attention on it. It
is good that you repeat this exercise for weeks, remaining always on this odor. First, you will have the
impression that you are perceiving it with your nostrils, but then it will become a mental reality. Visualization
should not be used.

[71] Similar smell meditation technique

Begin with one minute of Shuddi, then practice the previous technique for another minute. Then explore
different scents of the same type. For example, if you start from a rose, you can explore the scent of the other
roses of a hypothetic garden. Pass from one scent to another with a certain continuity, imagining to walk in the
garden from one place to another.

[72] Single sound meditation technique

A piece of classical music can also be chosen. You must imagine that your eyes are closed and that you
cannot see.

[73] Similar sounds meditation technique

Start with one minute of Shuddi, then practice the previous technique for another minute. Then various
sounds are explored – it is important to keep the continuity between one and the other, even if it is not
important that the sounds be similar.

[74] Single taste meditation technique

One minute of Shuddi and then one single flavor.

[75] Similar taste meditation technique

Start with one minute of Shuddi, then practice the previous technique for another minute. In the ayurveda
there are six tastes: salty, sweetened, hot, astringent, bitter. The best is to explore the whole range of these
tastes.

[76] Single sensation meditation technique

Imagine that you are taking something in your hand or that someone touches your hand, or that you
perceive the wind or the sun on your skin, or someone who is doing massage on you. Perceive the feeling that
you are touching silk, leaves...

[77] Similar sensation meditation technique

Start with one minute of Shuddi, then practice the previous technique for another minute. Then various
sensations.
 78 ... 101 MIXTURE OF DISPARATE TECHNIQUES

[78] Meham Kalikan Dhyana Kriya [Cloud scattering]

It is to be practiced outdoors. Look at a small cloud in the sky and think that your mind is like alaser beam
that disperses it.

[79] Meham Shefte Marde Payum Dhyana Kriya [Cloud gathering]

It is better to start by filling the holes of the already existing clouds.

[80] Prana Sahitchay

You focus on the part of the body that you want to fill with Prana (it can be a sick part; it can also be one
Chakra) relax it, take a great inhalation and then exhale as in Purna Shuddi (n.57), but keeping the
concentration on that point. Repeat seven times, feeling the energy going to that point.

[81] Bajan
Take a deep inhalation and then chant aloud the note DO, placing your awareness on the Muladhar
Chakra, then you chant RE, placing your awareness on Swadhistan.... MI, FA,....

[82] Mandira Matreika Pranayama [Mantra in the Chakras with Matreika]

During inhalation and exhalation (the rhythm is 2:0:2:0) chant the Mantra mentally. Concentrate onthe
corresponding Chakra. Practice at least 11 breaths. It is not necessary to visualize anything. Thishelps wake up
the Chakra. During the whole session, remain on the same Chakra.

[83] Prana Deha Sukam Darshana Dhyana Kriya

Start with some Matreika because the vision of the astral body depends on the quantity of energy you
have. The technique consists in looking at the tip of the nose and seeing the energy that goes out. You can
observe a halo of light. You see brightness on its tip and also on its surface: there are different colors that can
change. Then you pass to other parts of the body; then, try to look at other people to see their aura.

[84] Maha Deha Shukana Darshana Kriya

Close the eyes. Imagine you are no longer in yourself but you are looking at your own body as if it were in
front of you. You are sitting in front of yourself and you observe the colors that surround the physical body as
an aura: "a shadow." You notice that the colors change when the emotions change. This shadow is therefore
not the classical aura that you see with the eyes open, but something subtler: the mental body.

[85] Jnabaha Kriya Shangan Korvaj [Memory Kriya Chain Type]

Go back to the past: years, months, days. You can choose any period. You must recreate what
reallyhappened --live that experience again. You can choose some important events, possibly those
thatrepresented "turning-points." It is better to go back slowly instead of covering many years in onlyone
session. You can go to your infancy, to the first years of life or to the time before the birth, butit is better to
start with more approachable impressions. Memories are connected like chains.

[86] Jwnapun Asana Surya Kali Mantram [Ladies postures with solar breathing for
digestion]
Sit on the floor with both feet on your right and leaning the left arm on the floor.It is advisable to
eat in this position. The position must be maintained for 25 minutes.

bemaintained for 25 minutes.

[88] Tashi Iraka Talachie Kriya [Static contraction]

Lay in Savasana: there is no preset time to respect. Tense and relax various muscular groupsstarting from
the neck and going downward. Avoid movements: therefore, if you want to tense youhand, you should not
clench the fist.

[89] Tashi Shalana Kriya [Muscle vibratory Kriya]

It is like the previous technique but the tension is increased until the muscles vibrate. There is atrembling
for each muscular group.

[90] Shayvee Shukama ma siddhi Kriya [Clair audience super siddhi kriya]
After one minute of Shuddi, visualize yourself being in another place. Try to listen to what ishappening
there in this very moment. You must be able to isolate the sense of hearing – in order todo so you must have
practiced technique n.72 proficiently.

[91] Kun Shukkam Mahsiddhi Kriya [Clairvoyance super shiddi kriya]

After one minute of Shuddi, visualize yourself being in another place. Try to see what is happeningthere, in
this very moment. You must be able to isolate the sense of sight.

[92] Tashi Talachie Kriya [Auto suggestion of Aum relax]

through your nose. During inhalation repeat mentally "Om", during exhalation repeat"Relax".

[93] Malacheke Shihicai [Therapy for constipation]

Unlike technique n.28, this is done sitting. Move the abdomen inside-outside while singing Om-Om-Om ...
(moderately fast: about two Om per second). Do 25 movements.

[94] Jalandhara Bandha Kriya [Chin lock plus vibration]

The chin rests on the chest. Create a physical vibration. This gives fresh energy to the head. Whenyou raise
your head back again, feel the energy also rising. Practice Jalandhara for 30/60 secondsand repeat five times.

[95] Uddiyana Bandha Kriya [Abdomen /stomach lock plus vibration]

vibrate. With practice the muscles will become stronger. Practice for 30/60 seconds and repeatfive times.

[97] Muka Nuni Dhyana Kriya [Concentration on nose tip]

Focus on the tip of the nose with the crossed eyes and try to maintain the concentration on that pointfor
15 minutes. You can open and close the eyes as much as you like --you can keep them halfshut.

Focus on the area between the eyebrows and try to maintain the concentration there for 15 minutes.You
can open and close the eyes as much as you like -- you can keep them half shut.

[99] Shahasrara Dhyana Kriya [Concentration on 1008 petals lotus]

 Turn the eyes upward and put the center of your mind on the top of your head. You can imagineyou are
sitting there.

[100] Moope Bandha Kriya

the back.
 102 ... 122 CHAKRA DHYANA YOGA

First part [102...108]

In these techniques, with open eyes, you will try to visualize each Chakra as a flower through your body
and clothes. The eyes are turned toward the physical place in the spine where the Chakra is situated. The eyes
won't look at the physical body but at the vital body in which the Chakra exists. It is much easier is to see the
astral body with open eyes. Always begin with one minute of Shuddi and then visualize a flower with a certain
number of petals of that particular color which is the characteristic of that Chakra. Visualize an upward turned
flower and, as for the form of the petals, you may use your imagination.

[102] Shivapu Muladhara Chakra Dhyana Kriya

the forehead. The eyes are turned upward, toward this particular point in the forehead.

[108] Nyia Sahasrara Chakra Dhyana Kriya

1008 petals of violet color -everything around it is gold. The eyes are turned upward but the Chakra is seen
from top down.
Second part [109... 115]
Now a Mantra is used, and the eyes are turned toward the location of the Chakra. Always start with one
minute of Shuddi, then practice the technique of visualization described earlier. Offer this prayer to Babaji: OM
[...] CHAKRA MANDIRA DHYANA KRIYA BABAJI TAT SAT, where [...] is the name of the Chakra. Then repeat the
specific Mantra of the Chakra 108 times, always remaining focused on that Chakra.

 123...131 NAIWA DWARA DHYANA YOGA [YOGA OF DIVINE
OPENINGS]

We have nine openings in our body and we learn to close the two lower ones and open the others. When
we close an opening we become closed to all those influences that enter our consciousness through it. When
we open an opening we become more sensitive to those influences. In the final period of our life we learn to
close all our openings. For this set of techniques the prescribed position is that we have always used during
basic Dhyana (Sarpam Mudra) with closed eyes. Start by concentrating on a particular opening, repeat Babaji's
Mula Mantra 16 times and then repeat a prayer specific for each opening. Please note that the word Bandha
favors the closing, Uruba the opening. Then practice Shuddi while keeping the mind focused on one particular
opening. Then repeat a Bija Mantra which is specific for each opening. The techniques of closing an opening
should be practiced for ten minutes; those for opening an opening fifteen minutes -the reason is that it is
easier to close than to open a door.

[123] Swastipu Dwara Dhyana Bandha Kriya [Genital opening]

The genital opening must be closed unless you are not working with a partner.Prayer: Om Swastipu Dwara
Bandha Dhyana Thiruva Kriya Babaji Tat SatMantra: Ring

[125] Vai Dwara Dhyana Bandha Kriya [Mouth

]Avoid speaking too much, thus conserving energy. Strive to always tell the truth.Prayer: Om Vai Dwara
Uruba Dhyana Thiruva Kriya Babaji Tat SatMantra: Rang

[126] Valedeh Cardu Dwara Dhyana Uruba Kriya [Right ear]

Opening the ears allows us to achieve clairaudience: to hear distant sounds. Yogi Ramaiah saidthat: "At the
beginning you don't feel anything but when you enter the higher regions, then there isnothing that cannot be
heard."Prayer: Om Valedeh Cardu Dwara Uruba Dhyana Thiruva Kriya Babaji Tat SatMantra: Aung

 137 ... 144 THE SAMADHI TECHNIQUES

[137] Shivalinga Veerashiva Tradak Kriya

Look for a beautiful stone in the shape of an egg, and which has only one color.In India it is called
Shivalinga. You hold this Shivalinga for 15 minutes in the right hand and, withopen eyes, you look at it whilst at
the same time seeking inspiration. The purpose is to allow theintuition express itself. Interesting inspirations
will come: metaphysics; your relationship with God;the breathless state; Samadhi.The purpose is therefore to
find inspiration. Detach yourself from the mundane thoughts and lookfor the gems -the great inspirations. Yogi
Ramaiah said: "The Jiva is trying to become a Shiva."The Shivalinga is a symbol of the state of Soruba Samadhi
and it is a help to overcome the mentaltendency of wandering: it is not a technique of concentration but of
meditation.

[138] Sanjara Dhyana Kriya [Wandering meditation Kriya]

After one minute of Shuddi, for anything that comes to mind let it follow its course without trying to
detach. This is the opposite of the mental discipline you have learned with Shuddi. It is not even necessary to
remain on the same subject. The mind hasn't the time to digest its own ideas and it is now possible to
assimilate the experiences of life and satisfy the aspiration of the mind to be free. However, you need to guard
against any negative thoughts that should arise. The minimum time is 20 minutes, but it is all right to go on for
two/three hours. It is better to perform this technique with the eyes closed. The reason we dream is that we
need to assimilate the experiences of the day. Many people sleep too much, because they don't have time to
digest the experiences of life. Happy people don't spend so much time in bed. In other words, this technique
consists of doing what you always do, but in a serious way.

[139] Savikalpa Samadhi

Let your breath flow freely. When the breath enters, think "Om", when the breath goes out, think"Babaji"
(similar to the SRF Hong So technique).Between inhalation and exhalation there can be some pauses, in which
you do nothing; you think ofnothing. Effort must not be used to put an end to the pauses of the breath. If the
breathless statecomes, you should think of Babaji. It is advisable to practice this technique on an empty
stomachafter a suitable preparation, as will be explained below:
RoutineKriya Kundalini Pranayama (48 breaths)Matreika Pranayama (5-25 breaths)This technique (139) for
ten minutes
Note: with Matreika you create a balance between the pressure of the air outside and inside nostrilsand
lungs. This equilibrium creates the conditions for the breath to stop. If there is no mentalactivity, there is no
energy consumption, and therefore there is no need to breathe -in that state youcan enter Samadhi. The secret
is that there is no mental activity. There must be Equilibriumbetween yourself and the universe.

[140] Joty Soruba Samadhi

Golden light Samadhi Meditation]Visualize a golden flame: meditate upon it and experience entering a
dimension of pure light. The
dimension of the flame can vary, for example you can visualize it like the flame of a candle. The eyes are
closed but you can also keep them open at the level of the horizon or focused on the region between the
eyebrows. When the state of Samadhi comes, the vision of the golden light will also come: it is as if you were in
a golden room without boundaries, without form. In this state you breathe freely, you do not need to be
concerned about anything else. It is advisable to practice this technique after due preparation, like the
following: Kriya Kundalini Pranayama (48 breaths) Matreika Pranayama (5-25 breaths) Technique number 139
for five minutes This technique (140) for twenty minutes

[141] Nirvikalpa Samadhi

This technique consists in focusing the mind on the crown of the head and practicing Shuddi at thatpoint,
detaching yourself from everything else: not only from your own thoughts but from everysound, and from
every form. There is nothing to be visualized and, according the way your bodyreacts, you can continue with
the practice indefinitely -there is no limit. Yogi Ramaiah said:"Become it itself, not just conscious of it."It is
advisable to practice this technique after due preparation, like the following:Kriya Kundalini Pranayama (48
breaths)Matreika Pranayama (5-25 breaths)Technique number 139 for ten minutesThis technique (141) for
twenty minutes
A more demanding routine is the following:Kriya Kundalini Pranayama (48 breaths)Matreika Pranayama (5-
25 breaths)Technique number 139 for ten minutesTechnique number 140 for fifteen minutesTechnique
number 139 for five minutes but with concentration in FontanelleThis technique (141) for twenty minutes

[142] Babaji Darshana

Start with a minute of Shuddi with open eyes, then for 19 minutes try to visualize Babaji everywhere. Try
to visualize Him in three dimensions: you can see Babaji walking, smiling, doing something utilizing the objects
that are around you. Allow your imagination to be very active. Change also your point of vision. You should
avoid visualizing objects that are not around you. You must be realistic: in this way Babaji will become more
and more present in your life. In the last two techniques you have experienced God in the absolute form; now
you want to experience God with form. Remember also that Babaji is a state of consciousness that can be
experiences within. "Look for Babaji to become Babaji."

[143] Nityananda
Be conscious of any activity, until you reach a point where your awareness is continuous and therefore joy
is also continuous. We know that we suffer when our awareness is interrupted: at that time the Samsaras come
to the surface and the consciousness is seized by desires. This technique can be practiced both with closed or
open eyes. You can practice it when you eat: be conscious of the smell and of any taste. You can practice it
during a walk in the woods: move slowly, coordinating your walking with breathing, being conscious of every
sensation, feeling and emotion. People always think: "Oh, if only I could rest on the beach in the Sun, then I will
be happy!" All the time living in the imagining of that which does not exist. It is said, in fact, that "we dream"
with open eyes. We don't live in the present. Through this technique we learn how to experience the joy that
exists in each moment: the more one is conscious, the more one is happy. The best time to begin this
technique is during the day of the week you devote to silence: you will feel a lot of joy, a continuous state of
ecstasy. With this technique you can let your thoughts develop freely, like in technique number 138. When
practiced at night, resting, it is called Yoga-Nidra. Little by little you become aware of your inner Self and of its
divine nature. The purpose is a continuous flow of Ananda. This technique follows those of Savikalpa and of
Nirvikalpa: it is an extension of them to daily life. With this practice you learn to meditate with open eyes, and
you begin to realize that the things of life are not born from us, even if they manifest through us. Our activity
consists in becoming perfect channels through which Divinity is manifested. At the beginning of the spiritual
path, we are convinced we are responsible of all that happens in our life and therefore we try to mold reality
according to our wishes. From now on we must do this technique always. However, for a certain period, the
best thing is to practice it for a fixed period of time: 15 minutes.

[144] Nada Yoga

Close the ears with the fingers. For the first three minutes close both ears, then for the next threeminutes
only the left one, then for another three minutes only the right one. Then close both earsfor six minutes. Then
both ears are open -- for five minutes.3+3+3+6+5=20Try to listen to the internal sounds. This is easier when
there are no other sounds in your vicinity.You will hear the different sounds of the Chakras -below them you
will perceive the sound of Om.The sounds will be also perceived without closing the ears.
