~The Eight Regulatory Channels~

The Eight Regulatory Channels function as the body's master homeostatic, or balancing mechanism. They harmonize all the internal organs and functions of the body. The doctors of traditional Chinese medicine said that these Channels work to balance the areas of ecess blockage(yang, or hyperfunctioning), and the areas of deficiency (yin, or hypofunctioning).

~The Organ Meridian~

The organ meridians are distinct channels that circulate life energy, Ki, throughout the body. They are thought of as a master communication system of universal life energy, connecting the twelve organs with all other physiological, sensorial, and emotional aspects of the body. The Chinese consider the meridians the web of life.

This is a mantra of self-healing, humility, relaxation, protective grace, and emotional relief. It calls on the spirit of Guru Ram Das.

The Guru Ram Das mantra is an ashtang mantra. Ashtang mantras have eight parts. They catalyze the kundalini energy to initiate through your own effort and devotion. The first part of the mantra, Guru Guru Wahe Guru, projects the mind to the Infinite, the source of knowledge and ecstasy. The second part, Guru Ram Das Guru, means “the wisdom that comes as a servant of the Infinite.”

This mantra projects the mind to the Infinite and then brings finite guidance on a practical level.

~Meditation to Teach You to Pray~

This meditation is to give you the experience of prayer. It focuses you on the impact of your vibration, the need to have your whole mind present, and the reality that you are beyond boundary. If you become a crystallized identity, a lens, then the Infinite can focus through you and be as you. That is prayer.

Your prayer is like a stone which is dropped in the middle of a pool of water. It creates waves and ripples. Feel yourself as the waves and ripples go on and on unto Infinity.

~Keeping the Body Beautiful Kriya~

The body is a temple of human expression and evolvement. We are often told by the media and friends that it wears out, has many illnesses, and is extremely fragile. In fact, the body is sensitive and self-repairing.Our own habits of possession, constriction, anger, tension, and attachment set up energy patterns within the body that disrupt the normal flow of vital energy. This opens the door to disease, both physical and mental. After all, we are creators also, and, to a certain extent, create the environments we want to live in. We create our bodies with each thought and activity, as well as with each meal. So we need to clean the body and readjust the flow of energy periodically since we are all products of our habits and since few of us are without ego.

05.04.24

~ Body Adjustment to Elevate the Spirit~

Disease comes from structural change. This is the oriental, ancient way of looking at it. This body and its bones have no screws and bolts. It is held together by tissue and by muscle. During one’s life many movements occur in the body simultaneously influencing the action of the muscles. Certain muscles are stronger and hold the skeleton in a different way than the other muscles. This can lead to physical problems. Life becomes imbalanced and irritation sets in.

The whole body structure is responsible for one’s elevation, for one’s “being-ness.” A car has its gas, it has transmission, and it starts. If one part is missing, or if just a little air does not get to the gas, it dies. It is the same with the body.

05.06.24

~Set for Creative Flow and Happiness~

~33 Minutes to Eliminate Stress, Create Vitality Inside to Get Rid of Stress~

These fundamental kriyas shall never fail you if you do them for 11 minutes each. The practice time must be exact. These are not exercises that can be done for less than 11 minutes or for more than 11 minutes.

~Stretch & Meditate w/Angelic Whispers~

This meditation refines the sattvic guna of your mind. Sattvic means pure, true, and balanced, and it represents contentment, joy, peace, and harmony.

The 2-part kriya involves whistling along to the Ardas Bhaee mantra, which is said to answer prayers even when we don’t know what we’re praying for. If you cannot physically whistle, purse the lips and breathe as if you could whistle. Meditate on the sound in your mind.

Mantra: Ardaas bhayee, amar daas guroo,

Amar daas guroo, ardaas bhayee,

Raam daas guroo, raam daas guroo,

Raam daas guroo, sachee sahee.

Translation: The Grace of Guru Amar Das (who is the hope of the hopeless) and Guru Ram Das (who is the King of the yogis and bestower of blessings past, present, and future) guarantee the prayer will be answered and all one's needs provided for.

an evening practice.
