This set invigorates you by adjusting your Pranic Body with your Auric Body. These postures are called the 4 U’s and they are “for you.” They set the nervous system to withstand the pressures of society and challenges of the times.
Though the full time for each posture is 11 minutes, practice according to your individual ability. You may eventually be able to do each posture for 11 minutes for 11 days without moving a muscle, which is said to create nerves as strong as steel.
Anytime you do this kriya, you need to do a deep relaxation afterwards.
Before you begin your practice, tune-in by chanting the mantra Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo
How to chant the mantra Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo
Sit in Easy Pose with your spine straight. Press your palms together in Prayer Pose at the center of the chest, sides of the thumbs pressed against the sternum. With your eyes closed, focus your concentration at the Third Eye Point located between the eyebrows at the root of the nose, about a half inch under the skin. Inhale deeply and as you exhale chant Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo, on one breath. The sound Dev is chanted a minor third higher than the other sounds. If you cannot chant it all on one breath, take a short breath after Ong Namo. Repeat the mantra three times. The meaning of Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo is: I call on the creative infinite consciousness of the universe. I call on the divine wisdom within me.
'U' on the Back
Lie down flat on the back. Raise the legs and arms straight up to 90 degrees. Point the toes. Knees and elbows are straight. Hold steady and think about what good you have done since you have come to planet Earth. Reconcile activities with your beautiful intelligence. We are moving the life force energy without any movement. Keep yourself in the posture no matter what. The energy will adjust itself.
Time
Continue for 11 minutes.
'U' in Plough Pose
Still lying on the back, bring the hands straight up over the head on the ground. Then raise the !ower body up into a modified Plow Pose, with the legs straight over the head but parallel to the ground. This is a simple flow of energy, a simple way of just being.
Time
Continue for 11 minutes.
