This kriya works with the “Agan Granthi,” which is located at the heart center. It is the place for the fire element of life, which circulates and purifies the blood and digests the food. It creates all the juices in us. When the energy here is not circulated properly, it can makes us angry, limited, intolerant, and uncommitted. Sometimes the most difficult thing is to shift gears—from anger or frustration to something more productive, moving the energy from one chakra to another. This kriya can help with our capacity to make the shift.
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.
Hand Circles
Posture: Easy Pose.
Mudra: Bring your hands in front of your chest, with the fingers spread and slightly rounded. The hands are about six to eight inches apart, with the palms facing each other.
Movement: Move the hands in circles, as if your hands are pedaling a bicycle. Move rapidly and feel a magnetic field being built between your two hands. Your hands will pick up their own magnetic identity, a vibratory magnetic field. Create a mental rage to fuel the movement. Imagine your worst enemy and use that feeling.
Time
Continue for 3 minutes 30 seconds.
Slap Floor
Sometimes your own magnetic field and the Earth’s magnetic field get out of sync, and that can make you very insecure.
Posture: Stay in Easy Pose and bend forward.
Eyes: Look at the floor.
Movement: Use your open hands to beat the floor, but do not touch it. Once again you are using your hands to create a magnetic field. If you touch the floor you will lose the energy field you are creating. Move powerfully, using your anger, and you will find that this exercise will create a breath that cannot be achieved any other way.
Time
Continue for 2 minutes.
