Warrior pose / Virasan (additional info)

[Guest guest]

To supplement Karta Purkh's response.

If your mind tends to work overtime, it is best to focus at the tip of

the nose. It helps you master your mind. Focusing at the nose is also

the default position for the Sadhana meditations (

I took this information from another meditation involving the same leg, and

foot

postition, but different hand position. The pressure on the right knee on

the liver, helps to balance the liver and spleen. The heel between the

outer sexual gland and the anus crosses at the meridian point which

stimulates the working balance of the gonads. The palms together

neutralizes the hemispheres of the brain, and the eyes focused at the tip of

the nose stimulates the pituitary gland. The power of this mantra,, wahe

guru is maximized when chanted in this position. Once Yogi Bhajan told a

story of a good gurusikh who chanted wahe guru contiuously, but was still as

neurotic as all get out. He wondered why he had so many mental problem.

Yogi Bhajan told him to chant wahe guru in virasan, and his problems went

away.

Sat Nam, Amarjit
