Advanced and With the Master
This kriya works the kidneys directly, the organs that hold fear and store ancestral fatigue in the body. You twist them, pump them, then flood them with breath of fire to flush them clean, and you finish by turning the mind itself from its negative pole to its positive one through sound. It is a short set, but it moves the prana from the lower waters up to the third eye, and it leaves you wrung out and bright.
Pose 1
Sit in Easy Pose (Sukhasan). Bring your hands to your waist. Twist the torso left and right, and at each shoulder inhale and exhale powerfully. Continue for 5 minutes. This presses on the kidneys and helps flush them out.
Pose 2
Come immediately into Platform Pose, arms behind you supporting your weight. Raise and lower your buttocks rapidly with breath of fire. Continue for 3 minutes. This brings relief to the kidneys.
Pose 3
Come immediately into Cobra Pose. In rhythm with breath of fire, raise and lower yourself from flat on your stomach up into cobra. Breathe heavily. Continue for 5 minutes.
Pose 4
Sit in Easy Pose. A) Meditate on the sound of EK ONG KAR, concentrating at the 3rd Eye Point and the Navel, and see the energy flow between these two points. Hold for 2 minutes. B) Chant loudly: EK ONG KAR SAT GUR PRASAAD SAT GUR PRASAD, EK ONG KAR, for 6 minutes. This mantra works like the gatga on the Persian prayer wheel, turning the mind from negative to positive. Just repeat it five times whenever you want to switch from your negative mind to your positive mind.
