Renewed Self-Concept

‘Fill up all your anger, attachments, and resentment in your hands, your garbage, anything that is bothering you, fill it up and then let it go. Pull out all the pain of the subconscious, and fill the hands with it and then offer it to the space. From day 1 to the 11th year, all the pains of your childhood, day-by-day, month-by-month, year-by-year, bring it up and give it to the space.’ -Yogi Bhajan

Today we released some old, and integrated some new, some from our highest self, our true self.

Connecting to intuition

“It is time to rely on the strength of your own Soul and to live from your heart. If you commit to living from this place you will experience  Life as exciting, juicy and filled with endless possibilities to further your highest potential.

To live by your Soul means to listen to your Intuition. Your intuition is the voice of your own inner Teacher that guides you from darkness (unconsciousness) into Light (expanded consciousness).” Catalyst Yogi (Haribhajan)

A practice to help you clear the funk, and connect to your highest self.

NOTE: there is some lag time between the music & the live video, so just to clarify when doing Hast Kriya (or Heaven to Earth), you say SAT while touching Jupiter (pointer) finger on the ground, NAM when touching them above the head at the akashic point— WAHE when touching the ground, and GURU when touching them above the head a second time. Repeat. Song in video is linked through soundcloud if you’d like to practice it on your own.

Kirtan Kriya (31 min)

"Want to pull in all the loose ends, focus, and concentrate? Here's a mantra to help you consolidate and change your habits. This mantra is a catalyst for change. So don't be surprised if your spiritual cleansing process is vastly acceler­ated!"

-Shakti Parwha Kaur

Mantra and Mudra: Chant Saa, Taa, Naa, Maa. With each sound, alternate through four mudras:

• On Saa, touch the first (Jupiter) finger; Gyan Mudra (knowledge)

• On Taa, touch the second (Saturn) finger; Shuni Mudra (wisdom, intelligence, patience)

• On Naa, touch the third (Sun) finger; Surya Mudra (vitality, energy of life)

• On Maa, touch the fourth (Mercury) finger; Buddhi Mudra (ability to communicate)

Each repetition of the mantra takes 3 to 4 seconds. This is the cycle of Creation. From the Infinite (Saa) comes life and individual existence (Taa). From life comes death or change (Naa). From death comes the rebirth of consciousness to the joy of the Infinite (Maa) through which compassion leads back to life.

In Kirtan Kriya you first chant out loud, then chant with a strong whisper, then mentally vibrate the mantra. To complete Kirtan Kriya you reverse the sequence, continuing silent chanting, then whispering, then chanting out loud.

"Although you do not have to know the meaning of the syllables, you may want to think about the concepts as you chant them. In fact, at one time Yogi Bhajan gave us some visual images to use while chanting this mantra. For those of you who would enjoy visualizing, this is what he taught:

Each time you chant Sa picture all the galaxies, planets, suns, moons, and stars.

Each time you chant Ta visualize tremendous radiance, the brilliant, dazzling light of a trillion suns.

Each time you chant Na see a winter landscape, the branches of the barren trees standing silent in the snow, all of nature dormant.

Each time you chant Ma picture thousands of spring flowers in a burst of glorious technicolor, brilliant blooms joyfully blanketing the hillside as far as the eye can see."
-Shakti Parwha Kaur

These five primal sounds (panj shabd) are derived from the bij mantra, Sat Nam: S, T, N, M, and A. Each time the mudra is closed by joining the thumb with a finger, the ego "seals" the effect of that mudra in the consciousness.

Vibrating on each fingertip alternates the electrical polarities. The index and ring fingers are electrically negative, relative to the other fingers. This causes a balance in the electromagnetic projection of the aura.

Chanting out loud, whispering, and silence are the three languages of consciousness.

If during the silent part of the meditation, the mind wanders uncontrollably, go back to a whisper, to a loud voice, to a whisper, and back into silence. Do this as often as you need to.

Some people may experience headaches from practicing Kirtan Kriya. The most common reason for this is improper circulation of prana in the solar centers. To avoid or correct this problem, meditate on the primal sounds in the "L" form. This means feel there is a constant inflow of cosmic energy into the solar center, or Tenth Gate. Imagine the energy of each sound moving through the Crown Chakra, and out through the Third Eye Point as it is projected to Infinity. This energy flow follows the energy pathway called the Golden Cord, the connection between the pineal and pituitary glands.

Kriya to Withstand the Pressure of Time

‘When life gets challenging, you might find yourself in a crumpled heap on the floor. On the other hand, you can meet the challenge with calm creative solutions. This Kundalini Yoga kriya is designed to strengthen the nervous system so you can handle the pressure and stress of life just that way: calmly and creatively. It’s a lively workout and leaves you feeling relaxed and renewed.

This is a powerful and energetic kriya for a full tune-up of the nervous system. If the nerves are not tuned up, you will not be able to withstand the pressure of time. This kriya also works on two problems common to women: locked pelvis and locked shoulders.’

NOTE: We’ll come back to this one, the recording didn’t work. =)

Laya Yoga Kriya for Intuition & the Power to Heal

‘This mantra takes you to the most subtle realm of creativity. It awakens the Kundalini force that energizes the whole Creation. It awakens your awareness and empowers you to sense your subtle body of the aura. The practice of the meditation gives you intuition and the power to heal.

The word “laya” refers to suspension from the ordinary world. Laya Yoga fixes your attention and energy on your essence and your higher consciousness. It lets you absorb into the bliss and creativity of consciousness without the normal distractions and attachments having power over your reactive awareness.

This mantra opens the secret book of Laya Yoga. It enables you to consciously remember and experience the link between you and the Creator. You will know the constant flow within you. Practice it for 40-120 days. It will etch into the subconscious and the memory and experience of your true identity. This will gain you liberation.

This mantra was guarded like a secret gem. It is the key to the inner doors of Naad, the realm of creative sound. If you listen to the sound of the mantra and then concentrate into the subtle sounds of the mantra, you will become absorbed into the unlimited domain of your Higher Self.’ 3ho.org

Becoming Like Angels

Originally taught March 30, 1993

‘To become like angels we need the inner strength to be secure, to give to all, to be con­sumed in the ser­vice of life and destiny. This set, done properly, is said to give you the health and inner energy to live from your angelic nature.

It is said that humans who have regularly done this exercise have become angels in their own right. This exercise may cause some pain as it re-aligns the pat­terns of the body. You are hurting yourself so that ill health does not hurt you.’ 3ho.org

Kriya for Balancing the Aura

Our electromagnetic energy field is known as the aura. A strong and balanced aura will help protect you from negative energy and keep you healthy.

"Those people who are humble, affectionate, serving, and who breathe the divine force within themselves and make their mind concentrate on one breath, and pray to the universal spirit by tuning themselves in, their electromagnetic field gets charged because of the life force, and their circumvent force becomes so strong that it can keep away all the negative forces. Those people who have a very strong circumvent force do not have any chance to let any type of negative forces enter into their body field. In other words, in their aura, they remain happy, healthy and holy." -Yogi Bhajan 1/1/70 

This set builds your physical energy and stamina. It strengthens the navel energy. Then it rhythmically moves the meridian energy from the Third Chakra to the Eighth Chakra and back. This dance of energy builds all the chakras and the radiance of the aura. It is the kind of kriya you can master gradually and that becomes increasingly delightful as your aura expands.
