ISHA KRIYA

ISHA KRIYA IS A SIMPLE YET POTENT PRACTICE ROOTED IN THE TIMELESS WISDOM OF THE YOGIC SCIENCE. "ISHA" REFERS TO THAT WHICH IS THE SOURCE OF CREATION, "KRIYA" LITERALLY MEANS "INTERNAL ACTION" . THE PURPOSE OF ISHA KRIYA IS TO HELP AN INDIVIDUAL GET IN TOUCH WITH THE SOURCE OF HIS EXISTENCE, TO CREATE LIFE ACCORDING TO HIS OWN WISH AND VISION.
THROUGH ISHA KRIYA, A 12-MINUTE PRACTICE, AN INDIVIDUAL CAN PURSUE IMMEDIATE AND ULTIMATE WELLBEING, EXPERIENCING SUCCESS IN THE SOCIAL SPHERE,WHILE NOURISHING THE INNER LONGING FOR THE DEEPER DIMENSIONS OF LIFE.

THE MEDITATION
👉👀❤
THIS MEDITATION HAPPENS IN THREE STAGES :
STAGE 1
INHALE AND EXHALE GENTLY, SLOWLY.
WITH EACH INHALATION, MENTALLY SAY TO YOURSELF, "I AM NOT THE BODY". THE INHALATION SHOULD LAST THE WHOLE DURATION OF THAT THOUGHT.
WITH EACH EXHALATION, MENTALLY SAY TO YOURSELF, "I AM NOT EVEN THE MIND". THE EXHALATION SHOULD LAST FOR THE WHOLE DURATION OF THAT THOUGHT.
REPEAT THIS FOR 7 TO 11 MINUTES.
STAGE 2
👉👀❤
UTTERL A LONG "A" SOUND (AS THE "A" IN FATHER) . THE SOUND SHOULD COME FROM JUST BELOW THE NAVEL. YOU NEED NOT UTTER IT VERY LOUD, BUT LOUD ENOUGH TO FEEL THE VIBRATION.
UTTER THE LONG "A" SOUND 7 TIMES, EXHALING FULLY INTO EACH SOUND.
STAGE 3
👉👀❤
SIT FOR 5 TO 6 MINUTES WITH A SLIGHTLY UPTURNED FACE, AND KEEP A MILD FOCUS BETWEEN YOUR EYEBROWS.
THE TOTAL TIME OF THIS PRACTICE IS BETWEEN 12 TO 18 MINUTES. YOU CAN SIT LONGER IF YOU WANT.
PLEASE NOTE 👉👀❤
WHILE YOU SIT FOR THE ISHA KRIYA, DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE ACTIVITY OF THE MIND OR BODY. WHATEVER IS HAPPENING IN YOUR BODY OR YOUR MIND, JUST IGNORE IT AND SIMPLY SIT THERE.
DO NOT TAKE A BREAK IN BETWEEN, AS IT WILL DISTURB THE REORGANIZATION OF ENERGIES THAT HAPPENS DURING THE PRACTICE.
EACH TIME YOU DO THE KRIYA, YOU MUST DO IT FOR A MINIMUM OF 12 MINUTES, AND TWICE A DAY FOR 48 DAYS (CONSIDERED AS A FULL MANDALA OR CYLCE), OR ONCE A DAY FOR 90 DAYS. THIS IS YOUR COMMITMENT. THIS IS YOUR GURUDAKSHINA (A TRADITIONAL OFFERING A GURU).
ANYONE CAN PRACTICE THIS KRIYA AND ENJOY ITS BENEFITS. SIMPLY FOLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS WITHOUT MAKING ANY CHANGES. THIS IS A SIMPLE BUT VERY POTENT KRIYA.
YOU CAN REMIND YOURSELF THAT "I AM NOT THE BODY. I AM NOT EVEN THE MIND" ANYTIME DURING THE DAY.
