Navel Point Power
How do I breathe into my navel?
Chang:
Pierce it?
Librlaret:
Of course some people prefer to use straws!
There are some yogis who pierce their 3rd eye and insert a straw to do the same thing. This hasn’t caught on in the west yet.:-}
Yogi Bhajan said that piercing your navel is about the stupidest thing you could possibly do to yourself. Your navel is your power center; it’s the vortex of all the meridians of your body. When you pierce it, you disturb the balance of your system.
Chang:
If I pierced my navel I think it would let the air OUT. And then I’d zip around the roo ... read more Adi Mantra 19 y
This is the Best or most complete explanation of what and why one would practice The Adi Mantra before each KY Session-Breath as Connector
THE COMPLETE ADI MANTRA FOR INDIVIDUAL MEDITATION
To center yourself before a set of Kundalini Yoga we chant the Adi
Mantra 3 - 5 times. Adi means the first or primal; Mantra is the
creative projection of the mind through sound. This mantra is the first
creative action. It centers you into the higher self and reminds your
lower minds that it is not your ego that will practice or teach
Kundalini Yoga. Technically it is the linking mantra for the Golden
Chain. The golden chain is the inner spark of Kundalini that is passed
person to person; teacher to student; guru to teacher; cosm ... read more Breath for Reality Change

Breath is Our Connection to The Divine. It responds to all moods, and if harnessed can change moods and feelings.
Breath is the most basic survival mechanism. You can live without food for
40 days, without water for 4 days, without breath not even for 4 minutes.
Breathing keeps us alive and PRANA (life energy) from fresh, energetic air
is feeding our body and soul. Most people use only 1/10 of their lung
capacity, doing 16 ? 18 breaths per minute. It is said, that the lifespan
of any being is measured in its total number of breath strokes ? just think
of elephants or turtles?
Up to 70 % of the body toxins are released with exhaling. We try to use the
full lung capacity and do only 5 ? 6 brea ... read more Mer-Ka-Ba- Breath of Light Travel 19 y
Take it Easy with this one, Warning! This breath practice increases the pranic energy to a high level vibration
Like the Sun, we must breathe, radiating out to all life. And from all life, we will receive our manna.
Begin by creating a place in your home that is used only for this meditation. Make a space where no one will walk thru or disturb you, possibly in your bedroom. A small alter with a candle and a cushion or pillow to sit upon may be helpful. Make this place holy. It is here that you will learn to create the MerKaBa around your body and make conscious contact with your higher self.
Once each day, enter into this meditation, until the time comes when you are a conscious breather, reme ... read more Entrainment and Coherency-Alignment 19 y

HeartMath
I took a HeartMath class in San Diego in 2001, they used to do a circuit and a 2 day seminar. I realize there is a ton of great information on Curezone Site, but when it comes to consciouness and spirituality- it is harder to ’do’, since it is a way of ’being’. Heart Math can help you train the body through technology of biofeedback to respond to the world with a different pattern because you have a different feeling! It’s a software program for your computer turning it into a mini biofeedback lab.
This site is worth checking out-Science meets meditative Biofeedback

This great Swami has done much to spread light in the Yogic Community
Who Is Swami Beyondananda?
Once in many, many lifetimes comes a being so evolved, so
enlightened, so pure that the entire world is transformed.
Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be anyone like that around
these days.
Fortunately, we do have Swami Beyondananda to help us maintain our jestive health in a world that has become less and less funny. As the Swami says, ”Indeed, the world is in a grave state -- and the best way to overcome gravity is with levity.”
Swami can truly say he came from humble beginnings. His parents
operated a Humble gas station just outside of Muskogee ... read more Kapalabhati 19 y
This is one of the most powerful cleansing breathes. START SLOWLY 1-2 minutes, if you experience dizziness slow the pace down or stop. Use common sense and judgment! You will extend length of practice and frequency of breaths per minute as you grow stronger.
Breathing Exercise (Pranayama) - Kapalabhati (Cleaning Breath)
Kapalabhati is a Breathing Technique used specifically for cleansing. If we have a lot of mucus in the air passages or feel tension and blockages in the chest it is often helpful to breathe quickly. In this practice, we deliberately breathe faster and at the same time use only Abdominal (that is, diaphragmatic) Breathing, not Chest Breathing. In Kapalabhati, the Breath is short, rapid, and strong. We use the lungs as a pump, creating so much pressure as they expel the air that all the waste is removed from the air passages, fr ... read more Doubt, The Master Thief 19 y
A little about my day, some doubt, and then in my reading I came upon this revelation.
This message is is about my day, as many blogs are.
So one great thing about blogging and Curezone is one gets in touch with ones beliefs and then their corresponding practices.
I have a lot on my plate but not any one thing beyond my capability. Occasionally (at least once a day) my brain begins to run efficiency models of all the possible outcome and alternatives, yada, yada. Now I admit I ran financial models as a part of my career so this analytical side has served me well, but then again, it almost ruined my heart. I love the quest for knowledge, but the analytical tends to ov ... read more How to: Matashakti 19 y
I located the chant EK ONG KAR Pieter Scoonheim's site. Here are his instructions on execution. And his site has the chant set to music! It makes a tremendous difference. Pieter's site is very interesting. He is creating a page addressing magnetism. Worth going back for a look.
Sit in easy pose with the legs crossed and the spine straight. Press the shoulders back slightly and bring the chin in slightly, suspending the breath in the chest, felt in the area of the heart chakra (between the bottom of the sternum and top of the ribs below the nape of the neck).
Place the hands on the knees and inhale deeply, filling the lower part of the lungs with a focused intention that pushes the lower part of the diaphragm out against the abdominal muscles. Simultaneously, put an inward and downward pressure with the hands against the knees. This will lift the rib cage, re ... read more Early Morning Meditation 19 y

Sadhana-
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.

People are going back and forth across
the doorsill
Where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.

This breath opens the rib cage and chest cavity-women with big busts, or anyone carrying stomach weight, this helps offset the weight on the frontal body by expanding the lungs in three separate "breath" chambers and oxygenates the blood.

What is Sadhana?
