Tejas Yog
Практика Шунья
Duration: 48 Minutes
Period: Early Morning
An active practice to stop the chatter of the mind and take out the repressed thoughts and emotions which become very difficult to express in common. Do it consciously and you will be able to see results in only a few sittings. You will feel lighter and more peaceful within and will be able to express yourself more clearly.
“Only in a hollow flute can one fill music. Our chambers are already stuffed. How can you live a life that is peaceful? To see things clearly and fell peace within, it is important that we clean these chambers and only then can life play its music”
An interval bell audio is provided below and is downloadable. A gong bells in the beginning of the practice, at the start of each stage and at the end of the practice. This practice includes two stages which have to be repeated 3 times. Each stage is 5 minutes. This adds to 30 minutes of your practice and then 20 minute meditation.
Practice
Stage 1: 10 Minutes
Gently close your eyes. Keep them closed throughout the practice—except during Stage 3. Stand with feet about 2 feet apart. Begin jumping effortlessly with closed eyes while loudly chanting “HOM.” Sync the sound with your jumps. Stay fully aware of your body and rhythm.
Stage 2: 5 Minutes
Bring your feet to normal distance. With eyes closed, rotate your lower back in large circles—first clockwise, then anti-clockwise. Keep your arms straight and focus on the movement of the whole body.
Stage 3: 10 Minutes
Now open your eyes and start jumping with the sound “HOM.” This time, keep your eyes open and fix your gaze on a single point. Do not blink. Do not let any thought or image enter your mind.
Stage 4: 5 Minutes
Close your eyes again. Now raise your arms up and begin bending forward and backward forcefully. Try to touch the floor with your fingers. Inhale while bending backward and exhale while bending forward—make the breath deep and grunting.
Stage 5: 10 Minutes
Stand on your toes and start lifting your heels up and down rapidly. Shake your entire body as fast as you can. Stay aware of your breath as it flows naturally.
Stage 6: 10 Minutes
Stop completely. Close your eyes and rest. Observe all sensations and subtle vibrations throughout your body.
Stage 7: 10 Minutes
Gently sway your body and chant “TAM-THAM-DAM.” Let the sound echo within, and feel a fresh surge of energy rising inside you.
Stage 8:
Bring your attention to your throat, mouth, lips, eyes -- your entire body. Feel all the sensations. Rest in deep calm and silence.
