Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 KUNDALINI YOGA - LIFE TRANSFORMING!Sat Nam Guru Gopal Kaur No difference in the 2 meditations, the second one is probably a better explanation. You're sitting cross legged. Then on the "ah" sound, you lean forward with the spine straight, so that the front of the chest is coming over the shins of the crossed legs, while keeping your arms straight pushing down on knees with your hands as the as the breath squeezes out on "ah" - This automatically causes the diaphragm to lift under the ribcage. At the same time the root lock will come up. When you relax and come straight, the abdomen afterwards the air sips back into the lungs. Sometimes it takes a bit of thinking to properly explain a kriya, breathing or meditation, but when done properly the extraordinary clams that are often mentioned with them actually happen. All this to say, again, that the second version is a clearer explanation of the mechanics of the first version. Try it and see for yourself. Hopefully there will be more clarifications to breathing and techniques coming from KRI in the future, because quite often it seems that practices that were taught in a certain way 30 years ago are now taught in some rigid interpretation that is actually mistaken, like the story of a group of people sitting in a circle and one person starts the whisper of a certain phase to the next and it goes around the circle coming out differently than originally intended to the person that originated the first phrase. In 3ho, one can go to different locations and find techniques taught rigidly in completely different ways, yet not resembling the first whisper at all.

One states the following: Ek Ong Kar-a, Sat(a) Nam-a, Siri Wah-a Hay Guru, with the instructions to pull Mulbhand at each underlined ah sound. The other has these directions: Ek Ong Kar-a, Sa-Ta-Na-Ma-a, Siri Wha-a Hay Guru, with the instructions to pull the navel on Ek, lift diaphragm on each of the underlined ah sounds and to relax the navel and abdomen on Hay Guru. There are a different type and number of 'pulls' with each version. Are both correct? I feel the difference between the two, but neither feels particularly more effective than the other. Both are marvelous. I appreciate anyone's input. Its a grand day! Guru Gopal Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
