This kriya uses mudra to bring the brain into balance, balancing the glandular secretions throughout both hemispheres of the brain and throughout the body. Renewing the brain is your fundamental human right to manifest your own destiny and live a life of purpose.
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.
The Practice
Chanting to Rakhe Rakhanhar, you will move through a series of eight postures, one posture for each line of the mantra. The recording of Rakhe Rakhanhar by Singh Kaur was used in class.
This kriya was originally practiced for a total of 1 hour 45 minutes.
Posture: Bend the elbow, raise the right hand with palm inward at face level, midway between side and front. Keep the head forward, look into the hand as if it were a mirror, shifting the eyes to the right so you are looking out of the corner of your eyes. This works on the optical nerve.
Mantra: Rakhay rakhanhaar aap ubaarian
Time
Hold this posture as you chant Rakhay rakhanhaar aap ubaarian.
Posture: Bring both hands to the brow line with palms down, as if shading eyes. Gaze far away. This lets you see into the future.
Mantra: Gur kee pairee paa-eh kaaj savaarian
Time
Hold this posture as you chant Gur kee pairee paa-eh kaaj savaarian.
