Our subject is the release of stress. So first, we begin to release the stress. Just close your eyes. Relax yourself. Relax the whole body from the toes to the top of the head. And from the top of the head to the toes, be aware of your being here. And say to thyself mentally, relax. Relax, relax, my friend, just for the time being, relax, physically and mentally, just relax. No expectation, no wishes. Be thyself within thy peace and harmony. Relax, relax... No expectations, no imaginations, no expectations, no expectations... Just give harmony, balance, and relaxation to your body. Let the energy flow through the whole body without any obstacles. Relax, relax... my friend, relax. Purījī, Purījī... The whole face muscles, eyebrow centers, cheeks, eyelids, lips, relax your jaw and feel the immense energy, light, and awareness of your brain. You are the master of thyself. The body is not everything, but everything is nothing without the body, and you are the master of your body. Relax. And now, for a little while, a bit of imagination. Just relax your shoulders. Relax your eyebrows, eyelids, and eyeballs. Imagine in front of you on the table a tiny candle flame. Now what and how will you accept it? Imagine the flame, a candle flame. It is yours. It is yours. If you can’t imagine, leave it. Just relax the whole body. Be thyself. Only you can do everything you want to do in peace and harmony. Relax, relax. Now bring your awareness to the breath. Breath is life; life is breath. Just feel the breath, inhalation and exhalation. Don’t depend on anyone; don’t depend on anything, only thyself. Happy, relaxed, and very positive energy. Breathe in and out. Relax, relax. The flame, if you have imagined it, let it merge into your inner space. Take a few deep inhales and exhales through the whole body. When you are inhaling, your whole body is inhaling, expanding; exhaling, contracting. It is you, it’s your energy, you are relaxed. We will chant Oṁ three times all together. If you don’t want to chant, just listen. Inhale and chant Aum. Aum. Feel the whole body and slowly move your fingers and close the fist. Open the palms, close the fist, open the palms, fold your hands, and rub your palms. Place your hands on your face and gently massage your face. Massage and move your hands. There was a beautiful park, a beautiful park like in Wellington, with up and down hills. There was a gardener working in the garden, in the park, taking care of the flowers, the bushes, the trees, and the grass. One day, that gardener sees a man sitting under the tree. It is a beautiful, nice, warm day. About two hours. The gardener is observing that person who is sitting there. No movements, nothing, just sitting. The gardener was a very humble, kind, good-hearted person. He thought this person must be very sad, very unhappy, must have some problems. I should go and say, "Hello, sir, how are you?" Speak something and for a while, keep him company. The gardener comes and he sees that one man is sitting with closed eyes. So the gardener begins to say, but still he did not move. After he said, "Excuse me, sir, how are you?" And he opened his eyes and looked, yes, yes, friend. So the gardener said, "I was thinking that you are very lonely, very lonely, you are alone." He said, "Yes, yes, sir, yes, yes. I was one with myself, but now you came, I am alone." So similarly, the stress is not coming from inside; it’s from outside. We need to analyze our five different bodies. This call in yoga, kośas. And these five kośas: Annamaya Kośa, Prāṇamaya Kośa, Manomaya Kośa, Vijñānamaya Kośa, Ānandamaya Kośa. So, now kośa means it’s like our physical body, our energy body, our mental body, our intellect body, and the causal body. The stress begins from the causal body, not from the physical body. Any kind of illness appears in our body where we feel pain and unpleasantness; that is already too late. Because it began with the very subtle body. In these five kośas are also called the elements. Our kośas, our being, is like a very fine body, one after another. That which is called ether, or they call space, maybe. Air, fire, earth, etc. These are the five kośas: Agni, Vāyu, Earth, Jal, and Space. These five kośas and five elements together unite our body. After this comes what we generally call the physical body, the mental body, and the subtle body. But when we go further, then we have many other different kinds of bodies in which we can talk about yoga. The stress begins from all five bodies, five kośas, five elements, etc. But we do not feel. The first feeling comes from the mental. Above the mentals, we can’t feel, but there is an imbalance, but we don’t know. Now, the mind is the middle of these two things: the physical body, the matter, and the astral bodies. So, mind brings us a fear, and fear is for something, for what? It is very subtle. So, the mind is forcing us to do something. Why are you doing? Why are you doing? Because you want to do something. Why do you want to do it? I have to do it; it’s my life, it’s my duty, my duty, etc., etc. So, the mind is forcing our soul and our awareness. The awareness, if we awake our awareness of the five kośas, we can release everything. But we are not aware of that. We are only aware of our fear. Fear, maybe you don’t think that you have the fear. You think it is your duty. But still, your duties, for example, you have a company. You have one company. Your employees are always looking at the watch, waiting to go away, and they will definitely go ten to five minutes before closing work and leave because it’s not my problem. It is my problem, or my boss’s? It is his company. If money comes or not, I will be getting money after one month, or you are getting weekly. This is the best way to get rid of the money every week. And if you get it once a month, you will be more comfortable and better at working. But this is not my subject now. The owner of the company will not look at the watch and work there. And when he knows that yes, now is that time to stop, he or she will work five minutes more or ten minutes more. Why? So when we put these two persons, the one who is employed, he has no feelings, he goes, that’s all. But those who have this company and who are working and thinking of the money or this, would like to work a little more. So one day more, another day a little more, slowly, slowly, that person becomes a workaholic. And who goes every day earlier, and every week he gets money? He is a little workaholic, but I don’t want to say what, but you understand what. Thank you. So now, this feeling—there comes a greed: "I want to do, I want to achieve, I will do it, I will do it," and there begins the stress. At that point, the stress is so subtle, you don’t feel it, and you don’t think that you have stress in your body. But the symptoms in our body, which ones? Our kidneys, our liver, our heart, our intestines, our gallbladders, they are very subtle. But there is already something negative happening. Then comes our spinal column, the pain in the spine, shoulders, shoulder blades, still that. Now the stress has become stronger and stronger. Where? In the brain. And from the brain, those, the nerves and gland systems, which are three nāḍīs we are saying in yoga, Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. These three nāḍīs, and these three nāḍīs are mastering all the 72,000 nerves in our body. Now, that stress will create problems in your eyesight. Then you will have second eyes, and you will change again to second eyes. It has problems with our ears. The ears, you begin to make some different kind of sound. When you sleep, it’s going sound, zzzz. That we call Brahmari Pranayama. After that, it comes to what we call the temple, the connection near the jaw, skull, and the brain center. This is for persons who have this trace; you don’t know, but it gives you a headache. Mostly, the headache begins because you don’t drink enough water. Have the headache? Go and take four liters per day. Clean it, clean it. Four liters, then three liters, two and a half liters per day you should drink. You will not have any problem, but you endure the headache, and you don’t drink the water, because that is a stress effect, an effect of the stress. From this, you have to practice prāṇāyāma, and there are two points. The one middle point of our body is the navel. Everything is balanced on our navel. Our life begins with the navel. Everything. First is this point, and this is what we call the solar plexus. That solar plexus means the sun. When the jīvātmā, the jīva, enters into the physical body, it means that, just like a drop of water. And there, life begins, and there the stress begins from the point of the mother and the father. So the stress is already made a nest in the point of the navel, because the mother has stress, or the father has stress, or they did not understand, or they did not want the child, etc., etc. This is the seed. Where is the seed of this cause of our stress? The prāṇāyāma as well as the chanting of the Om. Om is not a word or a sound like what we call a religion. Don’t think that, okay, I am not a Christian, I will not chant Om or Amen, or I am a Hindu, I am not Hindu, I will not chant the Oms. What do you do with your navel and hands? What connection do you have with your Kriṣṭī, Diti, and Om? No, these are the energy systems, symptoms which are coming from our generation and generation. Yes, it is coming to your many lives, you always following your father or your mother with you all the time, many, many times. This cannot be other; others cannot be this science. Now, the scientists said they found out that the Australian aborigines have genes in their bodies from the Indians. Now, how many centuries ago was it when the Indian Ocean was closer, closer to the many other islands—Bangkok, Hong Kong, Singapore, everything—coming closer and closer? Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā... Where and how did they preserve this body of ours? That is the real science to understand, that means that your parents who had this kind of problem, difficulties in the brain, a headache, sometimes they said, nowadays they are fearful of the cancer, this, that, my parents, my parents, even. It comes, the whole shape of the body. One body, one mango seed, beautiful, nice, big mango and small seed. We put it in, the tree grows, it comes the same size, same color, same thing that mango is, okay? That grows, and that grows, and that grows all the time, if you are not coming close to the other mango. Trees together, you remain, give the same mango, but still the genes are there. Similarly, our tension, our fear, our psychic problems, sometimes what they call, like, schizophrenia, are different. That is somewhere connected to a fear, so the disease is different, and the genes, what we call, are different. So, yoga is the solution that can help us get rid of those problems. Otherwise, stress can cause cancer, stress can cause schizophrenia, and other different kinds of diseases, fears, etc. So when we do yoga, first we have to touch as a human. Animals have all the same symptoms, but that is a different way. We are coming to the humans. So the roots, and that very fine what we call the genes, you may search in the brain or the blood or somewhere else, but it is in the navel. The navel and navel are the roots of the roots of the roots, and that is everything, creating through the resonance, the vibration, the space. It comes together in the freedom, the space, the vibration, and what we call the resonance. That resonance we call the OM, and you know that they, now again, NASA and the scientists, they found the sound of the sun is exactly OM, and that solar plexus is within us. So, if we chant Oṃ, many problems and tension will go away. So, now we will chant. How to chant? This is this. There are three levels of the sound, and that we call A, U, M. A, U, M. So, first we practice only navel, don’t go up, A. And you see, when we change this sound, only "A," hold your hand at the navel, and the sound will go nowhere else, only remaining in this place of our stomach. Try again, please. If you change, now you change the rhythm, you change the vocal, and the sound goes in the other direction. Only, ah, don’t go further, ah. No, don’t make it, mmm, you make it again. Again, you disturb the sound. Only Aum, and the third is the humming sound, em, hum. These are the three stations or three junctions. The nābhi, it means the navel, it touches to the heart and comes to the vocal cord, it means to our, to our, the, no, no, this gland, thyroid gland, thank you. So, it is awakening this sound, awakening the sound, vibration, energy, and all our glands have the hormones and this and that, but the master and controller is our thyroid gland. And so that sound comes, that is a vocal cord, and it is harmonizing our hormones in the body. And so, those who have a problem with the thyroid gland, chant Oṁ, but you have to come here, don’t go quickly up. Then, after that, comes the Sahasrāra Cakra, as well as the Bindu Cakra. And there, in this body, in our brains, there are many, many glands. If you are a doctor, you can tell more about this, but it is said the pineal gland is very powerful. This gland, through chanting, chanting the Aum, and the pituitary gland. So now we come from the navel, going through the heart. The heart vibration is balancing. If anyone has a heart problem, chant "Aum" properly, not like this: "Aum." Not quickly go there. Keep the balance. Learn how to chant the Aum. And exactly that, you hear the sound from the sun. What NASA did, they came close and they changed this. So in this way, that what we want to do is that you should work, of course. Don’t be lazy. Do more work, but never let tension come into the brain. Otherwise, many, many different diseases will come; fear comes, this comes, that comes. So, yoga is that first with the Aum, and then to balance both hemispheres. Our hemisphere is not working equally. 80% of our hemisphere is not working equally. It should be equal, and you can feel it. Put your hands, both palms like this. On your, like this. Not like that. Like this, like this. So it means that you cover the hemisphere. And now you chant like Brahmārī Prāṇāyām, like Oṃ. Oṃ. Feel yourself, please. If you have the fine vibration equally, or one has less and the other has more, changing from one to the other or coming together at once and then again missing. Do it yourself, please. All you know. Not like that, Mr. Naginbhai. No, no,... Not like this. No, this is like that. Make your hand like this, like this. Thank you. This I have to practice. It is not that we can do it immediately. These are the techniques. This is very scientifically proven, what I am telling you. And if you can read all other yoga literature and books, you will see the essence, and the essence of the essence, I have told you in a short time. A person who has balanced thoughts, no stress, and no fear, with mixed thinking, yes or no, yes or no, that you cannot decide at once, then you have to think over and over. So, there is a story, a real story. Because we see the picture of Mahātmā Gandhi here on this poster, but in reality, not this Mr. Gandhi. This is who was in the video, film. Yeah, so Mr. Naginway put the real Gandhi. Again, otherwise it can disturb your brain. Sorry. Yeah. So, Gandhiji, when he was fighting for freedom from the British for so many, many years, he kept fighting and talking. Fighting, meaning not with guns and such, but working. So he went to the eastern part of India. In the eastern part of India, he was travelling on a train. It was going through the tunnels and through the hills. The train was going slowly, slowly. In one cabin, Gandhi was sitting with his secretary, or the one who was working with him, writing, and a few other people were sitting. What happened when the train was going up? That bogie separated. Now what happens? One part of the train was going up, and this was rolling back. So Gandhiji was with closed eyes, thinking something, and his secretary said, "Gandhiji, you know what’s happening?" He said, "What?" Our bogie has separated. It’s rolling back. Gandhi said, "Okay, bring pain. I want to dictate you something." He says, "Sir, our life is dangerous, and you are..." He said, "Why? It’s okay if we die. We will die. At least let our work be finished." So that means those who have no fear, who have no stress... It was clear what happened will happen, so come on, write what I’m telling you. And slowly, slowly, the half train went back and stopped. Luckily, there was no other train coming. So, a person who is relaxed, not nervous, with a clear brain and clear thoughts, you accept. Otherwise, you have conflict. Always, one says something; I’m hearing something. You tell, and I say, "No, that’s stupid." I’m talking, the person will say, "That’s not clear, that’s not right here." So it means the brain has two sides, and that person will always have that kind of stress, and life will not be successful. So meditation is the best way to get rid of stress, and when the stress is gone, our awareness will come to our consciousness. We will be happy, and our life will be comfortable and happy. I am not talking about you going to God or to somebody else. I am talking about our physical being, with our consciousness, with our awareness. Thank you. Rest tomorrow. All the best. Okay, thank you.
