- Easy Pose.
Apply Root Lock, chest high, chin in. Have your hands grasping the
waist. Twist left and right. Inhale and exhale powerfully as you swing
fully to the left and to the right. Continue for 5 minutes.
This puts pressure
at the kidneys and helps flush them out.
- Back Platform
Pose.
(How to do it: Sit straight with your legs stretched out in front
of you. Place your palms on the floor beside your hips with the
fingertips pointing toward your toes. Apply Root Lock and keep it
steady. Raise your chest and hips so that you are in one straight line
from chest to toes, while still keeping your feet on the floor. Roll your
thighs inward to keep the sacrum stable.
Raise and lower your
buttocks rapidly with Breath of Fire. Continue for 3 minutes.
This gives relief to
the kidneys.
- Cobra Pose.
(How to do it: Lie on your stomach with your palms flat on the
floor under your shoulders. Apply Root Lock. Rotate the pelvis, elongate
the lower back and arch the chest upward as you straighten your arms.
Lift up until you are balanced on the palms of your hands and the tops of
your thighs. Keep the front of the thighs rolled together to protect the
sacrum and keep your feet touching. (It might be helpful to place a block
between the thighs. The thighs have to press together to keep the block
in place and this makes it difficult to compress the sacrum as you arch
backward.) The Root Line in Cobra is directly from the navel point into
the ground. The shoulder blades move down the back to leverage the
lifting of the chest. As the chest rises, the arms can straighten out.
Only rise up as far as you can go without compressing your lower back.
Keep your elbows by your sides. Do not let them fan out.)
(If you have a problem
with Cobra while keeping your pelvis on the ground, lift the pelvis off the
ground. More flexible, advanced students can leave the pelvis on the
ground.)
In rhythm with Breath
of Fire, raise and lower yourself from flat on your stomach into Cobra.
Breathe heavily. Continue for 1 � minutes.
- Easy Pose. Apply Root Lock. Lift the chest up, chin in. Meditate on the
sound of �Ek Ong Kar.�
a.
(Yogi Bhajan played the
gong.) Concentrate at the third eye point and the navel. See the energy
flow between the two points. Two minutes.
b.
Chant loudly, �Ek Ong Kar
Sat Gur Prasad Sat Gur Prasad, Ek Ong Kar� all in one breath. Do this for 6
minutes.
�This
is the mantra that works like the �gutka� on the Persian prayer wheel
changing the direction of the mind from negative to positive.
Just
repeat it five times if you ever want to switch your mind from negative
mind to positive mind.�
�Yogi Bhajan

Comments:
Yogi Bhajan taught this kriya on October 24, 1984.
Meaning of the
Siri Mantra:
Ek Ong Kar Sat Gur
Prasad, Sat Gur Prasad, Ek Ong Kar.
God and We are one.
I know this by the
Grace of the True Guru.
I know this by the
Grace of the True Guru.
That God and We are
One.
This mantra is a
gutka shabd�one that reverses the mind. It is the essence of the Siri
Guru. If the mantra is chanted just 5 times, it will stop the mind and put
it into reverse gear. The Siri Guru will sit in your heart. It can stop
anything negative. It is so strong that it elevates the self beyond duality
and establishes the flow of spirit. This mantra makes the mind so powerful
that it removes all obstacles. Its positive effects happen quickly and last
a long time. It needs to be chanted with reverence, in a place of
reverence. This mantra brings great intuition to the practitioner. After
chanting this mantra, anything you say will be amplified and created with
great force. So have a positive projection and do not say anything negative
for awhile.
Normally when you chant
mantras correctly, you benefit, and when you chant them incorrectly, they
don�t have any ill effect. But if you chant this mantra incorrectly, it has
a backlash. Normally we invoke the sacred before practicing this mantra.
Chant the Mul Mantra or the Mangala Charn Mantra before
practicing it. (Excerpted from The Aquarian Teacher, p. 84).
