Experiencing the Original You

This kriya gives depth, strength, and helps awaken the Original Self.

“Awakening the Law of Intelligence in the Original Self: If you are in a demanding situation where you have to come up with a solution, control your breath by inhaling 20 seconds, holding 20 seconds, and exhaling 20 seconds. The answer you need will come to you.  I want to give you that depth and that strength which is yours… the original you”.

Yogi Bhajan April 7, 1993

Reverse Elbow Lock

Posture: Sit in easy pose.

Mudra: Interlace your fingers and turn the mudra so that the palms face outward. This is called reverse elbow lock. Extend your arms straight out in front of you with no bend in the elbows. Stay steady and do not raise or lower your arms once you are in position.

Eye Focus: The eyes are focused at the tip of the nose.

Breath: Try to breathe only one breach per minute. lnhale for 20 seconds, hold for 20 seconds and exhale for 20 seconds. (If needed, you can gradually build up to 20 seconds.)

If you have problems with your stomach and digestion, your elbows may hurt or be uncomfortable in this exercise.

Continue this long, slow, deep breath for 3 minutes.

Cannon Fire Breath

Posture: Remain in the same position.

Eyes: Eyes focused at the tip on the nose.

Breath: Continuously inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth with the force of cannon fire.

How much you can heal yourself now will be in direct proportion to the strength of your breath.

Continue for 3 minutes.

Navel Pumps

Posture: Remain in position.

Breath: Inhale, hold your breath and pump your navel. When you can no longer hold your breath, exhale. Immediately inhale and again pump your navel. Continue at your own breath rhythm, pumping your navel as vigorously as you can.

Continue for 3 minutes. To end, inhale, hold your breath for 15 seconds, and stretch your arms out as far as possible, putting pressure on your joined fingers. Exhale through the mouth like cannon fire. Repeat this sequence two more times.
If this set is practiced for 120 days you’ll gain great vitality, personal excellence, and a new concept of what you are.  It works on the celestial concept of the third layer of the human mind.

Circulate the Energy

Mudra: Bring the arms down and bend the elbows so the hands are up. Extend your Jupiter finger straight up and lock down the other three fingers with your thumb.

Movement: Circle your forearms in outward circles as fast as possible. This movement has to be so vigorous that the entire spine moves.

This fully circulate the energy you have created.

Continue for 2 ½ minutes. Then inhale and relax.
