Energy and Power Generation

This is to generate the Energy and Power within us :-) 

Sit on a chair or on the floor comfortably. You can also do the meditation in the Pooja Room with a lamp lit and lights off for a better feeling and focus. 

1. Chant 'Om NamaShivaya' loudly together with the audio played, for 3 minutes. This will increase your vibration. 

2. Mantra chanting on your own for 3 minutes: Chant aloud at your own pace with prolonged OHM, each OHM followed by chanting NamaShivaya,  as much as possible. 

This will increase your exhale and hence inhale. 

3. Gratitude Meditation: Start thanking right from the Universe, Solar System, Sun, Moon, the Sky, our Earth with Clouds, Rain, Sea, Forests, Mountains, Water  Resources and the Nature in full. Then, thank your favourite Gods including Lakshmi and Saraswathy. Now, thank your forefathers. Then your parents and all our relatives, friends, all events and all the people (including all your past and present teachers) who helped you/ who are helping you directly and indirectly. Thank all our well wishers also.

When you are so happy with almost the tears on the eyes, thank for the future goals that you want to achieve. Visualise all  your wishes with pleasure and fulfillment as if they have already happened. 

4. Deep Breathing Technique - 8 minutes: Inhale and Exhale to the maximum of 60 times. At the end of it, 2.5 minutes will be given for hold after the last exhale. You hold only till you are comfortable and then again Inhale and  Exhale to hold again. Initially your hold may be for 7 to 10 seconds only. Gradually there will be an increase in the holding time. 

5. Fivetimes of Bhramari pranayama (Bee Breath):

 Close your eyes and ears gently. Close your mouth.

Keep your fingers as shown in the picture [that you can see during the Meditation time]. Inhale and Exhale, making humming bee sound. Do it on your own for 5 times. 

 Timing: 6.45 pm to 7.15 pm daily.

Breathing & Meditation

This blog is created to ensure that the joinees who come later can have a quick understanding on the purpose, ground rules etc.

Purpose of this group is to give importance to Breathing & Meditation that takes us to the next level in healthier body, better energy, Clarity in Thought and Decision Making, to understand Athma/Soul. 

1. Sharing Methodologies/Experience : Let us share methodologies, our experiences & benefits in group and whatever that helped us to improve. However, it is completely our choice to think through it, follow it and ensure that we improve and do not harm ourselves in any ways.  Let us ask any question wherever we need to improve.

2. Self and Group Motivation Increase : Once we do Breathing/Asanas/Meditation in the morning, we can mention that we have "Done" in the group.  This benefits the self to have better discipline and for others in the group to stay motivated. 

Let us start at some possible duration of time investment and increase slowly, if we are not able to do all that we wanted to do. Let us thank Self/Higher Self for what we have done rather than regretting about what is not being done.

3. Ground Rules : Let us not share anything not related to this group & purpose. Whoever deviates by placing content not related to this group, will have to check whether all have done the breathing exercise, asanas, meditation on the previous day and inform in the group 😀.  Also, these type of activities will be decided innovatively.  Let us also apply innovation to make us better, anyway. 😇.  If required, One of you can create another group with same members for all other forwards/other thoughts to be shared.  

4.  Sharing Currently Benefitted Methodology :  

To start with Breathing Excercise, followed by Asanas and Meditation is giving good benefit.

Though I have been practising Yoga, meditation for around 10 years, through Sai Yoga Sala in Arumbakkam and Isha's Sambavi Mahamudra,  I am finding much more improved & big change in energy when I started doing the below breathing exercise of Whim Hof.  It is giving more importance to "Holding the breath" and especially doing breathing through mouth is giving more benefit. 

Demonstration video to watch & understand :

Below video can be used for doing once you understand the methodology

5.  Asanas : Doing this for around 35 to 40 mts gives good benefits.

Below reminds few of the Asanas from which we can try to follow or do our own Asanas that we could recall.  It gives a bell sound every one minute.  This helps us to stay in a pose for a minute, atleast.

6. Meditation :  Recently did 21 days Abundance Meditation of Dr. Deepak Chopra.  It was immensely helping to come out of the most stressful times in job due to remote working during this Covid Season.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5TAp9KbPn0tRxteWm0ZIpSogrK1tXFc

Let us start doing from Day 1 again.  Repeating every 21 days is also making ourselves better and better. 

7.  Gratitude :  This makes the Life totally different.  Thanking for each and every other blessings we have.  Did Dr. Deepak Chopra's programme on the same

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5TAp9KbPn3bWs54MR9QLnUIuSL3G9Ls

Let us atleast listen to his Intro part, even if there is no time for doing the entire meditation.  This can also be started from Day 1 and repeated after 21 Days

8. Isha Kriya can also be done before going to sleep.

9. Music :  Listening to your favourite music/mantra chanting for 24*7 can always be planned by you and ensure that your favourite music stays near your work location, be it at home or office.  This makes lot of difference in our Sub Conscious mind.  

10. Lamp : Having a lamp lit for all the 24 hrs, helps to do Pancha bootha meditation when ever you start seeing the light.  In fact, when we are doing asanas, we can focus on the light. 

Few Other Regular Routines 

11.   Taking bath as a first activity in the morning gives lot of energy to start with all the above 😀.   This is also one of the Pancha bootha Shuddi

12.  Having the dinner light/fruits and vegetable based, makes the body light and help in getting up early in the morning, with or without alarm. 

Important Note :  Kindly take the guidance of Guru/Teacher, if you have not got trained in any of the methodology of Breathing/ Asanas/ Meditiation. Always, let us do only possible things.  Say, we are able to do Hold the breathing for only 5 to 10 seconds, let us pat ourselves for the same.  Let us practise regularly and we will see the increase & improvement very soon.  

Feel free to bring any of your relatives and friends, who is interested in this.

To do whatever is there in our control and whatever is possible

Hearing about few villages where there are no bridges constructed.  This hampers the Children going to school.  If they don't use the river they may have to travel for another 10 to 30 Kms.  Can we construct a small boat for them, if they have the problem still. Small boats can be made of wooden logs, plastic bottles

Below is the news denoting the same.

Easier form of Plants/Herbs Intake

As per the suggestion given by Sakthi Subramani & Healer Bhaskar, 3 easy ways of adding the plants/herbs in daily food.

1.  Decoction/Juice : started boiling all healthier plants in water and adding that decoction to all the food preparations
2.  Paste/Chutney in Dosa : Make the herb as a paste added with Chilli and mix with normal Idli/Dosa dough to make Dosa Roast or normal dosa
3.  Green Dhall : Any Green with Tomato, Garlic, Onion, Chilli and Dhall makes a great taste.  Addition of Green limit should be in a proportion that it does not bring the bitter taste as most of the people does not like bitter taste

Limit is as far as it does not affect the original taste of the dish, adding the decoction/juice to make Chappathi, Sambar, Rasam etc

Right Punishment is the one that change/transforms a person

There are many activities that are brought in India culture with a reason. But whereever the reason is not understood, there is always a chance that either it will lead to a trend that causes problem or will vanish over time.

One of the habit that prevailed in India is making "Thoppu Karanam" (in Tamil) in front of Lord Ganesha. The way of doing it can be understood by watching the following video about Super Brain Yoga in http://www.a2zyoga.com/blog/2010/05/07/super-brain-yoga%C2%AE/. Either kids who does something wrong at home or school was asked to do this as a punishment. Right punishment is only the one that changes or transforms any one who does the mistake. That is the reason why the kids are asked to do. If that is the case, can we all do atleast few times in the morning and evening to make ourselves changed. Whether it is elder person or children, we have a lot to learn till we die. No human can be there without mistakes and there is always lot to improve.

We must appreciate people doing it as they want to progress towards a better change and the kids can be asked to do this in the morning and evening in the schools. Teacher can give all the feedbacks that a student have to improve upon.
