Sat Purkh Kaur Takes Us Deeper Into the Har Meditation




Posture: Sit in Easy Pose, with a light jalandhar bandh.
Eyes: Focus at the tip of the nose, eyes are 9/10th closed.
Mudra: Elbows are by the sides, forearms are at a 45° angle,
with the hands at the level of the throat. The exercise begins
with the palms facing down.
Alternately strike the sides of the hands together:
When the palms are face down, the sides of the Jupiter
(index) fingers touch, and the thumbs cross below the hands,
with the right thumb under the left.
When the palms are face up, the Mercury (pinky) fingers and
the Moon Mounds (located at the base of the palms) touch.
Yogi Bhajan said that the thumbs crossing in this way (right
under left) is the key to the meditation.
Mantra: Har
Chant continuously from the navel, using the tip of the
tongue. (pronounced “hu-duh”) Tantric Har is recommended
for this meditation.
Time: Continue for 3-11 Minutes
Comments: “This meditation can be done for up to 11
minutes. It is so powerful in bringing prosperity that more
than 11 minutes would be greedy. This meditation stimulates
the mind, the moon center and Jupiter. When Jupiter and the
moon come together, there is no way in the world you will
not create wealth.” –Yogi Bhajan

Nabhi Kriya

I've just met teacher Lina do Carmo ( take a look at her blog: http://www.linadocarmo.de/118-1-Kundalini-Yoga.html), a master in many arts.

The meeting was really short but I swallowed her words. She reminded me of Nabhi Kriya, an inspiration in this week we remember Yogi Bhajan's Birthday, what a blessing...

So let's go for it, I suggest you listen to Ek Ong Kaur in a fast track.


Tune your motivation by chanting before start: ONG NAMO GURU DEV NAMO 3 times <3 Breathe in deeply and off you go, enjoy!! 1) Alternate Leg Lifts. On back, inhale and lift right leg up to 90 degrees. Exhale and lower it. Repeat with left leg. Continue alternate leg lifts with deep powerful breathing for 10 minutes. This is for the lower digestive area. 2) Leg Lifts. Without pause lift both legs up to 90 degrees on inhale and lower them on exhale. For balance and energy, have the arms stretched straight up palms facing each other. 5 minutes. This is for the upper digestion and solar plexus. 3) Knees to chest. Bend knees and clasp them to chest with the arms, allowing the head to relax back. Rest in this position for 5 minutes. This eliminates gas and relaxes the heart. 4) Beginning in position 3, inhale, open the arms straight out to the sides on the ground and extend the legs straight out to 60 degrees. Exhale and return to original position. Repeat and continue for 15 minutes. This charges the magnetic field and opens the navel center. 5) Leg Lift. On back bring left knee to the chest, hold it there with both hands and rapidly raise the right leg up to 90 degrees and down, inhaling up, exhaling down, for 1 minute. Switch legs and repeat for 1 minute. Repeat the complete cycle once more. This sets the hips and lower spine. 6) Front Bends. Stand up straight, raising arms overhead, hugging ears and press fingers back so that palms face the sky or ceiling. Exhale as you bend forward to touch the ground, keeping the arms straight and hugging ears, and inhale up, very slowly with deep breathing. On exhale apply mulbandh. Continue at a slow pace for 2 minutes, then more rapidly for 1 more minute. This is for the entire spinal fluid and the aura. 7) Totally relax or meditate for l0 minutes. What I do? Sit straight on a cushion, cross legged, eyes almost shut gazing down front to a nebulous point, the breathing passes through the throat very, very subtle breathing.... COMMENTS Nabhi refers to the nerve plexus around the navel point. This set focuses on developing the strength of the navel point. Times indicated are for advanced students. To begin practice, start with 3 to 5 minutes for the longer exercises. Together, these exercises get the abdominal area in shape quickly and activate the power of the Third Chakra.
