Renewing the Brain: Mental Exercises

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.

 

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.

Comments:

Our fundamental right as human beings is to live our destiny, to be healthy, happy, and holy. The way we express that right is by rewriting the patterns in our brains; that is, literally, rewiring our responses to life so that we can quit reacting and begin living.
