Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 Sat Nam Friends, I've been gathering information about breaking addictions with Kundalini Yoga and Meditation for an article I hope to write for Aquarian Times. Well, I decided to use myself as a guinea pig for kicking some addictive behavior, starting today. Sitali breath seems to work the best for smoking, as I've quit many times in the past. But I'm 36 today, and I need to start practicing what I preach. I'll keep you all updated on my progress. And thanks to those who've already emailed me their own experiences with kicking addiction with KY. Siri Deva Singh, Chicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 Sat Nam Siri Deva Singh, I thought I might input a variation of Sitali. I am beginning to play with it myself. Whatever feels right to you. It's called Saro Nari Sohi Pranayam with the Siri Gaitri Mantra. Check out the comments below Sat Nam, Dharam P.S. Do you know Shiva Singh?? Sit in easy pose or in lotus pose. Keep the spine straight and the body balanced. Concentrate at the root of the nose where the eyebrows meet on the forehead. Close the eyelids to 1/ 10th open. Place the hands in prayer pose at the center of the chest or in gyan mudra: the tip of the index finger touches the tip of the thumb. The hands rest over the knees with the elbows straight. Curl the tongue and extrude the tongue about 1/2 inch past the lips. Inhale through the "U" of the tongue in eight equal stokes. Place the mantra on the strokes. One mantra per eight strokes of the inhale. Then exhale in eight equal strokes through the nose. Make the breath precise and forceful. Mentally place the mantra on the breath as you exhale, one mantra for the eight strokes. The Siri Gaitri Mantra is: RA MA DA SA, SA SAY SO HUNG Use a melody as in Kirtan Kriya or use a monotone when mentally reciting the mantra. Continue the meditation for 11 to 31 minutes. Then inhale deeply, hold briefly and relax. COMMENTS: This meditation must be built slowly. Start with 3 to 11 minutes. The pranayam, is very powerful. It can adjust all the meridians and healing channels in the body. Treat it with respect and keep a glass of water handy. It will give you fantastic digestion. It will supply you with energy when you are sure there is none. It is a healing meditation that can empower your entire immune system. It is the type of mediation that you must approach with patience and regularity to mine its hidden secrets. It is worth the effort.
