Part 1: The Journey of the Soul and the Five Sheaths Om, the supreme giver of bliss, the only reality, pure knowledge, free from desire, beyond duality, resembling the vast sky—this is its essential nature. Om Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ... Once again, a very good morning to you all. We have reached the Viśuddhi Cakra. Yesterday, we reached the point concerning our Nāḍī. From the beginning of creation, according to Vedic mathematics, the Yugas or the divisions of time in this universe... we took a shortcut very quickly. We have completed the third stage and have come to our human life. We have five different bodies. In Vedānta philosophy, in Yoga Vedānta, these are called Kośas. Kośa means a sheath, a layer. The first is Annamaya Kośa, the sheath composed of food. This body of food is an important part of our nourishment. Annapūrṇe sadāpūrṇe Śaṅkara prāṇa vallabhe | Jñāna vairāgya siddhyarthaṁ bhikṣāṁ dehi ca pārvatī | Mātā ca pārvatī devī pitā devo maheśvaraḥ | It means the grain, the seed. One should respect the grains. Bread is sacred. Bread is divine. Bread is our life. One must not throw away any bread. One should instead use it to feed other living beings. When one sees grain lying somewhere on the ground, one should pick it up with respect. The soul journeys through the entire universe, returning to the atmosphere closer to our planet. Now is the right time to consider our ancestors, our forebears. The souls of our ancestors are still in this Bhūta Loka, as long as they are not freed from their karmas or until their offspring—our children—perform the proper prayers and ceremonies. The souls are still there, waiting for liberation. Therefore, we know that in every religion there are several ceremonies. A special, very significant ceremony is the funeral, Antyeṣṭi. According to Hinduism, there are 16 Saṁskāras, 16 ceremonies from birth to death. The last one is Antyeṣṭi, the funeral. After the funeral, there are several occasions called Śrāddha, Pitṛ Tarpaṇa. Pitṛ, the ancestors—our ancestors who are not yet freed from this chain with your families. They wish to move forward but cannot, for there is no one to liberate this chain. Here we can also consider Christianity, as there are more Christians here now. There comes a time when, as saints... everyone goes to the cemetery, offering flowers. Or after the funeral, one goes to a church or a spiritual place and prays. This exists in all religions, according to their culture. But there is always a remembrance of the persons who have departed. In primal religions, and still among the Indians, Mexicans, and many other peoples—also the Australians, and in the Netherlands, the Mauritians, Indians—there is a very strong connection with our ancestors. First of all, an offering is made. Thoughts turn to our ancestors. If you do nothing, you will face the same fate. This is one of the reasons that when you lead a family life, you should be sure to have children and provide such an upbringing that after your death, your children take over your entire prosperity, your culture, your heritage. Inheritance does not only mean your house, your money, and possessions, but your spiritual inheritance, your soulful inheritance. The tradition, the culture of your ancestors, going back hundreds of generations, is not something you can simply disregard, thinking "I do whatever I want; nothing matters to me." Soon it will be your turn. Or, you are walking the spiritual path and have processed all your karmas here, have meditated and prayed enough, and have done enough of your spiritual work for yourself and also for your spiritual ancestors. Then automatically, if you have Self-realization, you can liberate some generations of the past and some generations of the future by yourself. You have that much power then. So, Anna, grain. The soul wanders through the atmosphere, comes through water, air, rain. Water is life. Where there is water, there is God. Where there is water, there is life. Life is water, water is life. And so the soul wanders through the water element from the Ākāśa, from the realm of fire, passing through the attitude, the environment, the fire element. Through this fire element and with the help of the air, it moves into the water element, and through the water, it moves back into matter, into the body—through vegetation, and within vegetation, especially in the seed, whether it be fruits or vegetables, but mostly grains. An ancient grain is rice. In India, when one applies a tilaka, one places rice grains on the forehead. Because rice is the future, the past, the present, wisdom, and life. May this wisdom and life always be with you. It is a symbol of happiness, a protection. And through grain, the soul wandered into Śukra and comes as a human or animal, and so forth. So, annapūrṇe... grain is poison? sadāpūrṇe—that is always completeness and perfection, again and again. This is the Śaṅkara, the light, the Vipula, the Sambhu, the Svayambhu, the Self, Śiva-jyoti. Then comes the Prāṇamaya Kośa. Annamaya Kośa is our sheath of nourishment, this body that we can touch and feel. Śaṅkara prāṇa vallabhe—this divine light moves into the body as energy, prāṇa. Vallabha is also a name of God. And so, God Himself manifests within us, as ourselves. He lives. Without His existence, nothing can even move a blade of grass or a tree leaf. And when this prāṇa is gone, the Śarīra is finished. You can cut, you can burn, you can bury, everything. Therefore, for knowledge, for renunciation, and to realize that for my realization as a human being, to fulfill the human goal, and so on, it is a beautiful mantra for nourishment. Prāṇamaya Kośa. Then comes Manomaya Kośa, the sheath of the mind. The mind is very close; it is a machine in your ears. That’s right, hey Mr. Bhakti Ganananda, put your machine in better order. In our body, we have five elements; the five elements are alive. All these five elements must be in balance: harmony and connection, unity, consonance. And here is yoga again. This power is said to hold all five elements together, like cement holds two bricks together. And so, it is the prāṇa that holds our body and mind together—all five elements and all five bodies: mind, emotions, memory, speech, thoughts, vṛttis, consciousness, soul, breath, and so on. Within this human or animal phenomenon, Mother Nature or God has given so many functions, through which this soul is possessed, preserved, and given an opportunity to progress further towards the origin. Just as from the ocean, through the fire element, steam, Para, rises. At about 20 meters high, when you observe the ocean or a lake, you see a mist. Exactly. And that is the Para. It moves and changes its name. It is the ocean that transforms into steam. Now it is not an ocean; it is steam. It rises high, loses its identity again, and takes on another name: clouds. And now, once again through the atmosphere, the millions of drops come together, beginning to rain. So now we say it is rain. And now many drops come together, beginning to flow: water. Before there was rain, now there is water. And now water flows. In which direction? It naturally wants to flow where the ocean is. It means where the origin is. And so the soul, regardless of the living being, has a goal: to return to the origin. And every soul has given itself sound and time, so that in a particular body there is life, karma, and natural karma. We do not have only natural karma; we have karma that we have created, intentionally, with knowledge or ignorance. Our karma is counted more strongly, but not so much for the animal. Animals must go through karma, and humans have the possibility to influence their karma. Therefore, the greatest sin is that you kill a living being. That means you are interfering in the development of a particular being. And that is a cosmic law; you receive a very strong punishment in return. That means sinners. Ahiṁsā paramo dharmaḥ. Non-violence is the highest principle. And thus it is said: live a vegetarian life. You shall not kill. No one. It is very difficult for us, very, very difficult. Okay, you are a vegetarian, but you drive a car. How many mosquitoes die in the summer, right? Or do you walk through the garden, park, at night? Yes, many living beings come to you. But those who, through their ignorance, without knowing what has happened, have a lighter punishment. But punishment, consequence—we have to experience that, go through it. And so, it happens daily. For that, we have a beautiful thought every day, or an opportunity to free ourselves from the karmas that we have created unknowingly, in ignorance. And for that, Karma Yoga provides assistance: to help all living beings. And then the thought arises—unfortunately, we only say "humanitarian." Since this word "humanitarian" has caused great discrimination in our minds. So it should also be veterinarian, also ecological, and so on. It is a love for the entire planet. This planet is a love. And this love, we say, God is love and love is God, so this planet is the planet of love: Mother Earth, and the cosmic Father who has incarnated here, who has manifested here through countless living beings. So, Prāṇamaya Kośa, Manomaya Kośa. And Manas, yesterday we spoke a little about how it brings its feelings and thoughts from the Jñānendriyas, the sensory organs of knowledge—the eyes, nose, ears, tongue, skin, and so on. The mind that wanders. And the mind, pure mind, is called the holy mind. The Holy Spirit is that when, through your tapasyā, through your meditation, through your positive love, your pure love towards all living beings, and so on, you have purified your mind crystal clear. Spirituality means purity. And purity means pure thoughts, pure heart, pure feelings. You give something with your pure thoughts, with joy. Then your mind becomes free and completely clear, strong. Then you can help. Then you act as a cup lamp for those who have to walk through the darkness. And the light that is inside the battery is the power of the mantra, your Guru Mantra. And you must recharge this battery. Yes, that means constantly repeating your mantra, Ajapa Japa. No matter what you are doing, let your mantra repeat in your mind. This way, your battery is continuously being charged. Manomaya Kośa. Vijñānamaya Kośa. The second... uh, the fourth aspect is also called Śarīra. It is our knowledge. Through knowledge, a person is made; through knowledge, a saint is made; and through knowledge, a divine being is made. And through ignorance, one becomes ignorant. So, one says, "I need someone who has knowledge. Mother, grant such a birth to your child." Not that one becomes rich, but that one becomes wise. Thousands of kingdoms and only one sage is far greater than thousands of wealthy individuals. Just as tons of theory are worth nothing compared to a gram of practice. So, Vijñānamaya Kośa. And then the fifth is Ānandamaya Kośa. Ānanda means joy. Ānanda means bliss. Ānanda means pleasure, happy, pleasant. And Mahā Ānanda means bliss. Ānanda, what we say—"I am happy, I’m happy"—that is only a fleeting pleasure for a while. When you are very happy, then prepare yourself now to meet sadness. And when you are very sad, then rejoice greatly, for happiness will come again now. When the sun sets, be certain that the sun will rise again. And when the sun has risen, then we know: now it is noon, and now it is already afternoon. When the sun sets, the shadows become longer. And when they become longer, now it is sunset. And so that means, after some years, a hundred years of life, the steps in thought become longer. Now we know, children, we are in the afternoon, because it is almost a decline. Therefore, there is one thing that is precious and sacred to us, and that is time. He who does not pay attention to time, who is not conscious of time, is a fool. Simply wasting time is a sin. Every second is so precious that you cannot buy it. And every second that has passed is gone forever. It will never come back. No matter what, even if you fly with your fastest rocket, you will not return. And in this time, the human body is a diamond that you cannot buy. You cannot buy this diamond with your wealth. You cannot lend it to someone, you cannot borrow it, nor can you buy it in the supermarket. That is a unique, singular diamond—that is you. And this diamond that shines here, as the living Ātman, the light, is unique and unparalleled. Noble one, finished. Your radiance is your spirituality. Your radiance is your spiritual power. Your radiance is your honesty. Your radiance is being present. Your radiance is being there for yourself. Eternal means nothing physical, but your name, your reputation, your spiritual power. People will eternally live from it; they will be nourished by your spiritual energy. And so, time and life. It is only a moment, just an instant. And this moment passes so quickly for us. Then it only remains in our memory, in dreaming, feeling, remembering. Yes, we should learn to retain it in memory. Learn to keep it in your memory, that’s all. The rest will fade away. Water flows. So does the memory of your childhood, the memory of your parents, your friends, everything you have. You experience again through dreams or through memory. Who cannot retain remembrance is lost. You lose your possessions, your spiritual possessions. And therefore, again, the mind, the spirit, is the clear spirit in your brain. And here we come back again to those who have lived as vegetarians for generations. They have the best memory and the highest state of consciousness until the very last minutes, seconds of life. It is like this. Practice Prāṇāyāma if you want your thoughts to become clear, your mind to be clear, and to be able to own your mind so that it does not become calcified. Then take these drops I mentioned and Prāṇāyāma; take your Prāṇāyāma practice every day. There is a beautiful feeling and clarity in the mind. And of course, leading a pure life means practicing yoga—yoga in daily life, prāṇa, a vegetarian lifestyle, organic food. In the yoga literature, nothing is written that you should eat biological food. Because back then there was no question; everything was biological, and now everything is also biological. But it has become a bit illogical. This is what the chemicals that humans have created in this century have done. Within 40 years, they have destroyed the entire planet. The greatest virus for this planet is humans. That is the greatest virus. So, Vijñānamaya Kośa. Vijñāna means science, wisdom. And Ānandamaya Kośa. So, these two types of Ānanda. One is temporary. Will he go out or not? Raja, Rāṅgabhājī? Whoever comes will go, no matter who—king, beggar, or any other person or life. And everyone must go through a door. There are no VIP doors. And this one door at the end of this life means dying. And dying: two kinds of dying. One through the karmas, illness, that, that,... and so on. And secondly, voluntarily. A yogi gives up his body and liberates himself. Come voluntarily and leave voluntarily. But Śarīra has its Dharma. And Śarīra has three Dharma: to be born, to grow, and to die. Birth, being born. Growing, decaying, dying. To be born, to grow, and to die. This is the Dharma. But in this body, what is the diamond inside? Your soul, your Ātman, your knowledge—that is the most important. So it is not the value of this flesh, of this body, but what is inside. Second, Ānandamaya Kośa means bliss. Part 2: The Fountain of Bliss Within Swami Sivananda has said: Within you is the fountain of joy, Within you is the ocean of bliss, and within you is the immortal Self. Kill this little ‘I’ and live the divine life. Everything is within us. Literally, the ānandamaya kośa can also be compared to the kāraṇa śarīra, the causal body. Causal body means the cause, the origin. The cause is like a turning inward within you; you take the vṛttis, the experiences from outside, into your inner self. They move within you, are processed within you, then return, carrying through your various emotional organs, and you begin to act. This is a circle. So kāraṇa śarīra, the causal body, is the cause. And so, what was the cause? Why did you do it? The origin, the act, and the inheritance. The cause, the action and reaction. As we wander through these three things, we cannot escape this circle. This is the vicious cycle. Only one thing breaks it: Jñāna, true knowledge. There are five different kośas. In these five different kośas, it is very important for us first to purify the physical kośa. Everything that happens to us, whether illness or any kind of sadness and so on, attacks all five of our kośas, and lastly, the physical kośa. Everything is planned in the subtle world, the astral world; everything is planned by your inner Self, the Self-breather, the one who sees. But this consciousness cannot coordinate anything, and therefore we cannot see the future. We have three great obstacles, and because of them we cannot see the future, do not remember the past, and in the present do not know what to do. The three obstacles are Mala, Vikṣepa, and Āvaraṇa. Mala is impurity: physical, mental impurity; thoughts, food, everything. Vikṣepa is disturbances: inner disturbances, external disturbances; personal karmas, personal problems, impersonal problems. You may have no personal problems, but you have impersonal problems. It means you are very happy and healthy and everything is okay, but unfortunately your father has cancer. Now that makes you sad. Attachment, as people know and should know, is that all living beings are so deeply connected with their relatives and families. In Russia, they conducted a scientific experiment. Back then, when I was active and teaching yoga in this part of the continent, they took four living beings, namely a family of hares: a mother and three babies. They fixed measuring devices to their heart rates and heads and separated them. The mother in one direction and the three tiny babies in another direction, 100 kilometers, 1000 kilometers away. Then they killed a baby. At the same time, within minutes or seconds, the heart of the mother suddenly became very restless and anxious, and also the hearts of the two other remaining babies, although all four were very far away, hundreds of kilometers apart. Then they killed the second one, and again it was the same. Then they killed the mother. Ah, just the baby, it was so restless, so nervous. That means nothing, only the people are sad? We feel sadness and pain among our children or family members, but animals as well. That means, if you cannot wipe the tears from another, then at least try not to be the cause of tears. And so the feelings are like Vikṣepa. Many, many problems: health problems, social problems, family problems. And now we also have, how do you say, financial difficulties. Yes, financial problems and so much more. We will have, yes, you know this, a World Peace Conference in Hungary, and it will be very interesting, and I will be very happy because you will participate. Many, many experts come, and the topic is spirituality, the answer for the troublesome world and for the global crisis. Many experts will come there and give lectures on October 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in Hungary; details are closer on our website where we always are. Originally, we wanted to have it in Budapest, but as I said, due to the financial crisis, it would have been too expensive for us. We needed 150,000 euros, which is a bit expensive, isn’t it? Therefore, it will be 30% cheaper for us, and so we took a venue in the countryside there. But please, it should come to everyone. It is very valuable information. Okay, so, where were we? Vikṣepa. An example of Vikṣepa: We are at a lake, and you have lost a beautiful ring; it has fallen into the lake. The lake is about 8 meters deep. The water is clear, but there are so many waves on it that you cannot see exactly where it lies, so the diver cannot dive and bring back the ring because there are so many waves. Now we take a stained-glass window, a large frame on which the glass is set, and we place the glass window in the water above. What have we done? The waves have calmed, have been blocked. The frames of the wooden frame have blocked the waves. And now we can say, aha, there it is! Click into it and you come back again with your ring. So, our consciousness is the ocean, but our problems are the waves. We try to come into our breath. You are meditating and suddenly you receive a call or a message or some information. Someone comes and says your child has been in a car accident. Are you still meditating quietly there? No. You will get up immediately. My God, where, what, how? This is the Vikṣepa of Saṃsāra. And therefore, we pray daily that God protects us from such accidents, such misfortunes, and so on. And that gives us such strength and knowledge that we are capable of enduring it. Responsible for this are our Viśuddhi Cakra and Ājñā Cakra. The heart suffers twice. Holy Gurujī, my Master, has said—always, whenever I traveled from India to Europe for the retreats, and when I returned from Europe to India—I can tell you, so much love, so pure love, what I have received from my master, nowhere else. Holy Gurujī said, the heart suffers twice. When a beloved departs, you feel pain in the heart. Is that right? Or if you encounter an enemy, then your heart feels pain again. So, an enemy can also be an accident. The enemy is many things; it takes many forms. And through this, when we pray, God protects us from the enemies and strengthens our hearts so that we never feel tears. Love is invisible, but love is like a fragrance. And love is so strong, no bullet can penetrate it; the bullet from a gun cannot pass through. Love is a fortress, even though it is not visible. And love is very, very gentle. And there is no power in this universe greater than love. And this love is the soul. The soul is love. Inner love. Not this small, petty back and forth. And now it is forbidden. Not exactly forbidden, but now it is also advised that you must not show any weakness because of this damn swine flu. What is also in Germany? Constantly writing newspapers at school, at the beginning of school, we, if not in Austria, have these newspapers, no kisses given. And so, Vikṣepa, Kalīśas. And in Vikṣepa, there are still three that cause the strongest disturbances. You can find that in the book here, in this one—what is the title again? The Latent Powers in Humans. The Hidden Powers in Humans; there we have again written everything in detail, in a table. It would be good for you to look within once—not just glance, but truly look. Watching is forbidden. In Austria, we say, "What are you watching here?" Watching means observing. Shall I tell a joke? So that you relax. A man lives alone in his house, a beautiful house. And his neighbor is an elderly lady, 85 years old. One day she went to the police, slowly, slowly with her walking stick, and she has filed a complaint with the police. She complained to him that in the bright day in his house, in his courtyard, it goes on all night, and that is not good. It disturbs me greatly. So, the police came and took him away, and in their presence, the police spoke with him, and he said, "What? I am surprised. How do you know, gracious lady? Between your house and my house, we have walls two and a half meters high." Two and a half meters. She said, "Yes, if I climb up the ladder and so on, then it is night." The police said, "Please do not climb up anymore. You are too late to climb up the ladder; it is dangerous, please." And so it is said, purposely you invite the problems. Intentionally, you invite the problems. Ādhibhautika, Ādhidaivika, Ādhyātmika. Mala, Vikṣepa, Āvaraṇa. The third is Āvaraṇa. Āvaraṇa means curtain. And here, curtain means ignorance. Now, many things have become easier with modern technologies. But all of this that has been developed comes from Yogic Science. A yogi could see everything with closed eyes, far away. You are sitting here, and your father, your mother, your friend or girlfriend or husband or wife is on the island. What he or they do, you can see. Just like in the Bhagavad Gītā. Who has read the Bhagavad Gītā? I don’t see that here. Please, when I ask, make an effort to do this practice. There the blind king asked, how will I see what my children are doing on the battlefield in Kurukṣetra? And then he said, your bodyguard Sañjaya will gain a power; as long as this battlefield exists and he is there in the war, he will be a hero here and he can convey everything to you. And so Sañjaya closed his eyes and saw everything that was happening, and he conveyed to the king what was happening. Guru Kṣatriya, Dharma Kṣatriya; in this Dharma Kṣatriya, on the Guru Kṣatriya, what happens? What are the Pāṇḍavas doing, and what is my son Duryodhana doing, and so on. And so, this is modern science, technology, which has been needed for healing. And self-healing means expelling a lot of toxins through prāṇāyāma, sending much oxygen toward the brain, cleansing the Viśuddhi Cakra, allowing it to flow properly, and clarifying your intellect and your emotions. And so, people who have psychological issues go on vacation in the winter, not in the summer. Why? Because in winter, we have it here, but in Australia there is more light. And when we have light here in Australia, it is winter. So they go on a winter vacation from Australia to Europe. And when it is winter in Europe, then we go to India or Australia because there is more light there. Light therapy. Why? Because you yourself are a light. Your existence is a divine light. Every living being is a divine light. Not the body, but the inner Self. We present life. Can you imagine—but may God grant that such a thing never happens; God protects us from such visions, doesn’t He?—can you imagine we enter this hall and there are 50 corpses lying here? Sad? And can you imagine we come in and we are all sitting happily, experiencing Satya-Yuga here? Happy. Why? The dead body is the same person. But what is happening? Love, life is God. The life that lives is God. What lives is love. And what lives is beautiful. And that makes our Viśuddhi Cakra come fully alive. And therefore, we unite our Viśuddhi Cakra. When it is harmonious and balanced, then through āsanas and prāṇāyāmas; when emotionally blocked, then through meditation and our mantra. The Viśuddhi Cakra is very important. Many people say, "Swāmījī, suddenly something happened, I cannot speak, I cannot swallow, I cannot breathe, there is a lump here." Well then, you haven’t chewed your dumplings enough. Now there is, you cannot swallow it down; this is a blockage in the Viśuddhi Cakra, in the throat. The entire throat is tense, this whole area, and there is your Viśuddhi Cakra. I spoke with a top Ayurveda doctor 15 days ago, and he won a gold medal in India. The Indian government has awarded him a gold medal. I asked, "What is the best, simplest medicine for high blood pressure? Or for those who have low blood pressure?" He said, "Swāmījī, tomorrow my son will bring to you whatever you need." I said, "He can bring nothing." He said, "Why?" "Because I am in Europe." "Aha, you are in Austria, yes." He said, "Look at me, I have a Rudrākṣa." What is Rudrākṣa? A pearl, a necklace. Take a large Rudrākṣa, three, four, or five pearls, and place them in a clay pot or clay vessel in the evening. Fill it with water, half a glass, and in the morning take this water and drink it. Every day. Yes, it will influence your blood pressure; it will either decrease or increase. How easy! And so it is also for our throat, for our Viśuddhi Cakra, for our astral body, and for this part of the body. It possesses here, if you have a Rudrākṣa or Rudrākṣa beads around your neck. Try! The Rudrākṣa should touch your skin. So, those who have a problem with the thyroid or a problem with breathing, with the throat, and with dreams, with emotions, suddenly feeling very nervous or starting to sweat suddenly, then a Rudrākṣa mālā. If you can get a Mūṣikī Rudrākṣa, a beautiful Rudrākṣa, it has a strong effect. A Mūṣikī means it has only one slit. One little muscle, two little muscles, three little muscles, up to 16, 20, 21—hard to catch. A Mūṣikī that has only one column, the purest and best is the male Rudrākṣa. There is a crescent or sickle shape, which is feminine, too gentle. It has an effect, it is good, but it is too gentle. So, or just one Rudrākṣa bead on a red or black thread hanging around your neck, like a small black thread I also have here, and the Rudrākṣa is inside. It should touch the body. And Rudrākṣa frees your Viśuddhi Cakra, opens your Viśuddhi Cakra. It opens the door to your subconscious or to the astral planes. All dreams become clearer. All dreams will harmonize. But restlessness—you cannot say that you will only have beautiful dreams. Dreams are your true reality. Dreams come exactly as you feel. But it will become so transparent. When there is horror, and transparency is very painful, we want to quickly open our eyes. So, if you have a dream that is terrible, say your mantra and immediately open your eyes. But opening the eyes in a dream is not in your control. If it were in our hands, we would dream beautifully. We say, "No, I don’t want that, I want to have this one." But we do not have any choice in that. So, for Viśuddhi Cakra, solve this problem, the very first problem. So, Rudrākṣa mālā around the neck. Try it. I can tell you, within 24 hours you will feel completely different. But it must be a genuine Rudrākṣa, a mature Rudrākṣa. My mālā is perfectly made and mature, and it contains seeds within. And one can hear the seeds. Do you hear? Your ears have been very long in service. No, not old. Look here. Yes? The seed is inside. And so it has one, and a true Rudrākṣa is such that when you put it in water, it sinks like a stone. And the sound is like, you see, the stars, ah, the stones. This painter gave me Holy Gurujī’s in 1966. And then, it is constant; I have used it for my mantra and traveled around the world 38 times. So, our Viśuddhi Cakra. Now, we will do an exercise. Okay? Dear Bhagavān, Eki. Do we have time? What time is it, please? Quarter past twelve. If no one is here, will there be scolding? So, we will practice Ujjāyī Prāṇāyāma. And just as in deep sleep one is very relaxed and breathing, so is this breath. Ujjāyī Prāṇāyāma. Like this. This is the microphone. This sound is healthy lungs. Yes? So. We will now breathe like this. 21 times. Hands on the knees. Concentration here on the calves. Imagine that your thyroid is becoming strong and purified. The function of your thyroid will return to normal. Breathe in once and breathe in. Not as long as I demonstrated, but somewhat deeper than a normal breath. Close your eyes and continue. And exhalation through the mouth. Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. Take a deep breath and we will chant around three times. Breathe in deeply, slowly move your fingers, fold your palms together and rub your palms. Place the palm on the face, relax the facial muscles, gently massage the eyelids, and open the eyes.
