Shabd Kriya

[Guest guest]

Shabd Kriya.

Inhale in four equal parts, mentally chanting the mantra SA TA NA MA (which

is SAT NAM broken down into the component sounds of SA TA NA MA). Then hold

your breath for four mental repetitions of SA TA NA MA—that’s sixteen. Then

exhale in two parts; mentally chant “WAHAY†for the first exhale and

“GURUâ€

for the second exhale. So, inhale in four parts, hold for sixteen parts and

exhale in two parts. Have the hands in the lap, one hand nestled in the other,

the right hand on top of the left hand, thumbs touching. Have the eyes 1/10th

open and 9/10th closed, kind of hazily gazing at the floor in front of you and

at the tip of the nose if you can keep the tip of the nose in view. (If you

get lightheaded doing this breathing, then quicken the pace of your

repetitions. You will end up holding your breath for a shorter length of time.)

15

minutes.

To end, inhale and hold the breath for 5-10 seconds, exhale and relax.

Blessings in Health!
