Spiritual Practices / Pranayamas


Pranayamas

Bioenergetic purification should be performed both of the organism as a whole and of its separate segments corresponding with chakras. There are a lot of purification techniques and each of them allows one to get rid of the next portion of impurity, which means elimination of diseases, overall improvement of health and getting closer to the Ultimate Goal.

Now we will describe a few general purifying exercises of pranayama type.

Stand up. Bend slightly to your right so that your right arm hangs freely without touching the body. Try to feel your arm thoroughly from the shoulder joint to the wrist. Imagine that a pump chamber, to which “air”-light is being fed through the arm like through a hose, expands in the chest with every inhalation and contracts with every exhalation. Special attention should be paid to the exhaling. Try to achieve a high clarity of sensations. The “hose” should be as thick as the arm and nothing should prevent the “air”-light from moving freely through it.

Perform the same exercise with the left arm, and then with each leg. The “hose” should come down from the chest to each leg through the corresponding side of the body.

Place images of two vessels, for example, barrels, under your feet. Let one of them be empty and the other full of white liquid light. Touch this light with your foot-hose and pump it through the body-pump into the other barrel. With each inhaling the pump chamber inside the body and the head is expanding, drawing the light from the full vessel through the leg. With each exhaling the chamber is contracting, the light pouring out through the other leg into the empty barrel. The light cleanses the whole body from inside.

When the barrel with light gets empty — fill it up again and overturn the content of the other barrel into an image of fire so that all dirt that has streamed out burns. Turn the body around over the barrels and repeat the exercise.

After you finish do the same, this time placing the barrels under your hands.

In this way you should attain a feeling that your whole body is filled up with bright white light.

After performing pranayamas you will need to rest in one of the relaxation asanas.
