“Today we will start the Nithya Kriya for Insomnia care.”

Today we will start the Nithya Kriya for Insomnia care. Tomorrow I will give you the Nithya Kriya for Insomnia cure. Because I wanted to prepare your body first then I will take you to the deeper level.

First step –

“Adhyaasyaha shete kara-yugmam vakshe, Bhoomim avashtabhya karayoho talaabhyaam | Paadau cha shoonye cha vitasti, Chordhvam vadanti peetam muneendraaha ||”

Let me translate word by word - lie on the ground face downwards, the two hands being placed on the chest touching the ground with the palms, raise the legs in the air one cubit high. I will now show you the mudra. Please understand put your hands like this (Swamiji demonstrates this mudra) and chest just please let the palms be facing the ground and on the palms put your chest. And put your nose on the ground, raise the whole body - lower body including thighs for one feet high.

Hold in the same position. Just eleven seconds. Please start. This is the Kriya for insomnia – insomnia care. Please start. All of you make enough space.

Put your hand palms facing the ground and put your chest on the hand, nose on the ground, raise your thighs. Don’t raise your head. Don’t just raise your legs, raise your thighs. Raise your thighs one feet from the ground. Don’t bend the leg. Raise your thighs. Keep for 11 seconds.

You can do something like a count eleven and drop the legs. Again count eleven and drop the legs. Do this eleven times. Each time when you lift your leg, 11 counts keep in the air, drop it. Again keep it on the air 11 count. Don’t count fast. Count slowly 1….2…

Alright let me guide you. Raise the leg (1, 2, 3, 4…Swamiji counts 1 to 11). Drop. Now you will see your breathing is suffering, your body is suffering for prana. Breathe in and breathe out in a very relaxed way. But the nose should be touching the ground. Then again now raise the leg. (1, 2, 3, 4….Swamiji counts 1 to 11). Drop. Raise the thighs (1, 2, 3, 4…..Swamiji counts 1 to 11). Drop the legs.

Now do it on your own, at least few more times. But every day when you practice, you should do it at least 11 times. 11 count each time, 11 times.

Second instruction. Please lie down and listen to the second instruction. Be in that same position. Second verse – this is from Gheranda Samhita Upadesha 3, verse number 10.

“Udare pashchimam taanam, Naabheroordhvam tu kaarayet |Uddaanam kurute yasmat,Avishraantam mahaasragaha |Uddeeyaanam tvasau bandhaha, Mrutyu-Maatanga-Kesaree ||”

“Contract the bowels equably above and below the navel towards the back, so that the abdominal viscera may touch the back. He who practices this Uddeeyaana (Flying up), without ceasing, conquers death. The Great Bird (Breath), by this process, is instantly forced up into the Sushumna and flies (moves) constantly therein only.”

Let me give you the instruction. You can look up just to see the instruction. Please understand, contract the bowels equally above and below towards the navel, towards the back. Please understand the bowels above the navel and below the navel, contract them back. Hold for 21 count like that. Hold and count inside. Hold 21 count or at least as long as you can. Actually because you are counting, when you can’t, you will count quickly. So don’t bother ☺ So hold as long as you can.

Understand the bowels above navel and below navel both part equably contract them towards up and back. Do this now. Hold as long as possible at least 21 counts. Your nose should be touching the ground. Palms should be facing the ground, chest should be on the palms, on the hands. Hold as long as you can, when you feel you can’t hold. Relax and again hold. Hold and relax at least 21 times. Hold 21 times, relax 21 times.

This process not only helps you to heal insomnia, it directly releases you from all sleep and dream related disorders. Stressful dreams, nightmares, constantly dreaming all that will completely disappear. You will fall asleep like a statue and wake up fresh like a flower because the Kundalini awakened through this process leads you to the higher conscious sleep – Yoga Nidra.

Hold in Uddeeyaana Bandha and release at least 21 times.

Now the third step. Do raising the leg and Uddeeyaana bandha together. Please understand, hold your bowels up & back and raise your thighs - both at a time. Hold as long as you can and relax. Do both now together - raising the leg and Uddeeyaana bandha both.

Please understand, raise the legs together not apart. Raise the legs together and hold the bowels navel backwards - up and back. You will see a unique breathing pattern will develop around you which will awaken intense Kundalini. There should not be any sound while you exhale or inhale. It should be very soft and sensitive.

Relax. Please get up.

Yesterday I was making 2, 3 Brahmacharis to do this kriya. They told me Swamiji, what insomnia all sleeping disorders will disappear ☺ After this Kriya problem will be that we are not able to get up, not that we are not able to sleep ☺ Understand a very powerful Kriya. People who have sleeping disorders not only unable to sleep, even feeling like sleeping the whole day or in the night you are lying down but you are with too many dreams you are not sleeping. So any of this kind of disorders – some stress, worry, you are not able to sleep – any of this kind of disorder, please do this Kriya. It is a very powerful process. Very powerful process. I don’t think you may need to do this Kriya more than 11 days. 11 night is enough. Only do it in the night before going to bed. Before going to sleep, just do this you will automatically fall asleep. The energy created in you and the breathing pattern will simply put you into sleep. So just before falling asleep do this kriya and just sleep off.

You will not, not only you will not have any disturbances in the sleep, you will not have any disturbances by dreams. You will have a peaceful deep Yoga Nidra. Yogic sleep which will naturally rejuvenate your body, mind and consciousness.
