Bhramari
|
|
| Sit
on Padmasana or Siddhasana. Inhale rapidly through both nostrils making sound
of Bhramara, the bee, and exhale rapidly through both
nostrils, making the humming sound.
|
|
|
|
| You
can carry the process till the body is bathed in perspiration. In the end
inhale through both nostrils, retain the breath as long as you can do it
comfortably and then exhale slowly through both nostrils. The joy which the
practitioner gets in making the Kumbhaka is unlimited and indescribable. In the
beginning, heat of the body is increased as the circulation of blood is
quickened. In the end the body-heat is decreased by perspiration. By success in
this Bhramari Kumbhaka the Yogic student gets success in Samadhi.

Murchha
|
|
|
|
| Sit in your Asana
and inhale. Retain the breath. Do Jalandhara Bandha by pressing the chin
against the chest. Retain the breath till you expect fainting and then exhale
slowly. This is Murchha Kumbhaka as it makes the mind senseless and gives
happiness. But this is not suitable for many.

Plavini
|
|
|
|
| Practice
of this Pranayama demands skill on the part of the student. He who practices
this Plavini can do Jalastambha (solidification of water) and float on water
for any length of time. Mr. ‘S’ a Yogic student can float on water for twelve
hours at a stretch. He who practices this Plavini Kumbhaka can live on air and
dispense with food for some days. The student actually drinks air like water
slowly and sends it to the stomach. The stomach gets bloated a bit. If you tap
the stomach when it is filled with air, you will get a peculiar tympanic (air)
sound. Gradual practice is necessary. The help of one who is well versed in
this Pranayama is also necessary. The student can expel all the air from the
stomach by gradual belching.

Kevala
Kumbhaka
|
|
|
|
| Kumbhaka
is of two kinds, viz., Sahita and Kevala. That which is coupled with inhalation
and exhalation is termed Sahita. That which is devoid of these, is called
Kevala (alone). When you get mastery in Sahita, then you can attempt this
Kevala. When in due course of practice, the Kumbhaka subsists in many places
without exhalation and inhalation and unconditioned by place, time and number
then that Kumbhaka is called absolute and pure (Kevala Kumbhaka), the fourth
form of ‘Regulation of breath’. Such powers as that of roaming about in space
unseen, follow this last form of Pranayama. In Vasishtha Samhita it is said:
When after giving up inhalation and exhalation, one holds his breath with ease,
it is absolute Kumbhaka (Kevala). In this Pranayama the breath is
suddenly stopped without Puraka and Rechaka. The student can retain his breath
as long as he likes through this Kumbhaka. He attains the state of Raja Yoga.
Through Kevala Kumbhaka, the knowledge of Kundalini arises. Kundalini is
aroused and the Sushumna is free from all sorts of obstacles. He attains
perfection in Hatha Yoga. You can practise this Kumbhaka three times a day. He
who knows Pranayama and Kevala is the real Yogi. What can he not accomplish in
the three worlds, who has acquired success in this Kevala Kumbhaka? Glory,
glory to such exalted souls. This Kumbhaka cures all diseases and promotes
longevity.

Pranic
Healing
|
|
|
|
| Those
who practise Pranayama, can impart their Prana in healing morbid diseases. They
can also recharge themselves with Prana in no time by practicing Kumbhaka.
Never think that you will be depleted of your Prana by distributing it to
others. The more you give, the more it will flow to you from the cosmic source (Hiranyagarbha).
That is the law of nature. Do not become a niggard. If there is a rheumatic
patient, gently shampoo his legs with your hands. When you do shampooing
(massage), do Kumbhaka and imagine that the Prana is flowing from your hands
towards the leg of your patient. Connect yourself with Hiranyagarbha or the
Cosmic Prana and imagine that the cosmic energy is flowing through your hands
towards the legs of the patient. The patient will at once feel warmth, relief
and strength. You can cure headache, intestinal colic or any other disease by
massage and by your magnetic touch. When you massage the liver, spleen, stomach
or any other portion or organ of the body, you can speak to the cells and give
them orders: O cells! discharge your functions properly. I command you to do
so. They will obey your orders. They too have got subconscious intelligence.
Repeat OM when you pass your Prana to others. Try a few cases. You will gain
competence. You can cure scorpion-sting also. Gently shampoo the leg and bring
the poison down.

|
|
| You
can have extraordinary power of concentration, strong will and a perfectly
healthy and strong body by practicing Pranayama regularly. You will have to
direct the power of Prana consciously to unhealthy parts of the body. Suppose
you have a sluggish liver. Sit on Padmasana. Close your eyes. Inhale gently
till you count OM 3 times. Then retain breath till you count OM 6 times. Direct
the Prana to the region of the liver. Concentrate your mind there. Fix your
attention to that area. Imagine that Prana is interpenetrating all the tissues
and the cells of the lobes of the liver and doing its curative, regenerating
and constructive work there. Faith, imagination, attention and interest play a
very important part in curing disease by taking Prana to the diseased areas.
Then slowly exhale. During exhalation imagine that the morbid impurities of the
liver are thrown out. Repeat this process 12 times in the morning and 12 times
in the evening. Sluggishness of liver will vanish in a few days. This is a
drugless treatment. This is nature-cure. You can take the Prana to any part of
the body during Pranayama and cure any kind of disease, be it acute or chronic.
Try once or twice in healing yourself. Your convictions will grow stronger. Why
do you cry like the lady who is crying for ghee when she has butter in her
hand, when you have a cheap, potent, easily available remedy or agent Prana at
your command at all times! Use it judiciously. When you advance in your
concentration and practice, you can cure many diseases by mere touch. In the
advanced stages, many diseases are cured by mere will.

Distant
Healing
|
|
|
|
| This
is known as ‘absent treatment’ also. You can transmit your Prana through space,
to your friend, who is living at a distance. He should have a receptive mental
attitude. You must feel yourself en rapport (in direct
relation and in sympathy) with the man, whom you heal with this Distant Healing
method.
|
|
|
|
| You
can fix hours of appointment with them through correspondence. You can write to
them: Get ready at 4 a.m. Have a receptive mental attitude. Lie down in an easy
chair. Close your eyes. I shall transmit my Prana. Say mentally to the patient:
I am transmitting a supply of Prana (vital force). Do Kumbhaka when you send
the Prana. Practise rhythmical breathing also. Have a mental image that the
Prana is leaving your mind when you exhale; it is passing through space and is
entering the system of the patient. The Prana travels unseen like the wireless
(radio) waves and flashes like lightning across space. The Prana that is
coloured by the thoughts of the healer is projected outside. You can recharge
yourself with Prana by practicing Kumbhaka. This requires long, steady and
regular practice.
