NADHA

Hai Friends,

                        This is also a related practise. You can select any traditional meditation asanas or sit in a chair or keep a table in front of you and put your hands on that. In this position the ears should be plugged with the index fingers of the hand.  The other fingers should be lightly clenched and the elbows held side ways. If you sit in a chair rest your elbows on the table. Be in a relaxed position.

                        First stage you have to practise Brahamari Pranayama (BP). The word Brahamari means “BEE”. This practice is so called because a sound is made which imitates the sound of Humming Bee. It is a method of harmonising the mind and directing awareness inwards. Sit in any of the poses, with ears plugged. It is important to make sure that the ears are fairly closed for the best results. If necessary adjust your body to make sure that you are perfectly comfortable.

                        Close the eyes, relax the whole body, keep the teeth slightly separated and mouth closed, through out the entire practise. This allows the vibration to be heard and felt more distinctly in the brain. Breathe in slowly and deeply, while breathing out make a humming sound. The humming sound should be smooth and continuous, and should be done for the duration of exhalation. The humming sound need not be very loud, the important thing is that you hear the sound vibration with in your head. The exhalation should be slow and controlled. At the end of the exhalation stop the humming sound and breathe in. Again repeat the humming with the next exhalation.  Continue in this manner for few minutes. Next stage starts with normal breathing , no Brahamari Pranayama.

                        Continue to keep your eyes closed and your fingers gently, but firmly in your ears, this is necessary to block out external disturbances. Try to hear a sound in your head. As soon as you become aware of a sound, try to fix your awareness on it to the exclusion of other sounds. Go on listening. After some days or weeks of practise you should find that one sound is very distinct, becoming louder and louder. Be totally aware of the sound (NADHA).

                        Gradually through practise your sensitivity will increase. With normal ears try to hear inner sounds at the region of the back of the head. or in the middle of the head or in right ear. Many people hear the sound in the right ear which does not matter. Finally preceive more subtle sound. The more subtle the sound that you can perceive, the deeper you will delve into the depth of your being. Do not expect to hear subtle sounds on your first attempt. Practise is necessary for a certain period.

            In final stage sit in a relaxed position- No index fingers in the ears- No Brahamari Pranayama,  Close your eyes and listen your inner subtle sound. Plan a schedule to listen Nadha- hours-days-years, according to your stamina. In every practise rewrite the paper for 5 times. (Contd.. 12 – 18)

Hai Friends,

                        This is a basic practise. The word Trataka means to look or to gaze on a small dot, Full moon, Crystal ball, Nose tip, Flame. This is one of the most powerful method of controlling the tempestuous mind and its thought waves. Corrects weakness and defects of the eyes. Mentally, it increases nervous stability, removes insomnia and relaxes even the most troubled mind.

           

            In this practise we gaze, Bahiranga (outer), and Antaranga(Inner) Trataka. This improves visualisation ability to the max. Visualisation is one of the most important vehicle in meditation. This practise improves the technology of closed and open eye meditations.

            The best time of Trataka is early morning with empty stomach. Duration of the practise for 15 minutes is sufficient. If practised regularly it develops the power of concentration to an almost unlimited degree. This awakens our inner abilities which helps to lead our life. Mostly improves meditation technology to higher levels practise.

                        Sit in a comfortable position, preferably a meditation asana, in a dark room. Place a lighted candle level with eyes, at a distance of one to two feet from the face. Beware of the physical body only. When you are prepared, open the eyes and gaze intently at the brightest blue centre point of the flame. With practise you should be able to gaze for a few minutes at the flame without moment of the eye balls or blinking. Continue to gaze at the flame with total concentration. The gaze should be absolutely fix on one point(Blue point). As soon as the eyes become tired or if they begin to water, close them and relax. Do not move the body, but aware of the after-image of the flame in front of the closed eyes. Brown yellow flame centred with blue spot. Like wise, the After-image of the candle flame will be clearly visible. As soon as it begin to fade, open the eyes again and continue to concentrate of the external candle flame. Repeat the same inner and outer Trataka for 10 to 15 minutes, without straining the eyes. Wash the face and eyes with pure normal water. This will provide relaxation for the eyes and eyelids, muscles.
