So, please sing a very nice bhajan until everyone arrives. Some people are going to the bathrooms or to their rooms. So, sing the bhajan: "Dīpnār Bhagavānakī, Devapurījī Mahādevakī." Or I can give you some techniques, okay? Until they all come, you all begin with Bārikatu Praṇām. Yes, that’s good. Do it yourself, and as everyone arrives, take your place, perform Bārikat Praṇām, and sing the bhajan. So there are three activities: I am talking, you are singing, and another is doing Barikatu. Start independently. When you have finished your baddhikātu praṇām, then lie down with your head towards me. Relax and sing very nice bhajans—not too loud, nor too soft. Relax, place your hands beside your body. All of you, put your telephones somewhere. Relax your whole body. Feel your toes, your feet, your ankle joints, legs, the whole legs, buttocks. Relax your whole body. Give your stomach a very relaxed feeling. Relax your shoulders, your neck. Keep your eyes closed and breathe very normally. Make your whole face relaxed and go with your breath. Be very relaxed, very relaxed, but inhale and exhale normally. Follow the inhalation and exhalation. Let the breath be very relaxed. Try to see if both nostrils are breathing equally or if there is a difference. Many of you were doing the Anuśāsana. You had a beautiful morning practice, after which you had lunch. You have come again, and you had beautiful exercises, meditations, etc. Now, feel your stomach very relaxed, very relaxed. The stomach is completely relaxed. We inhale from both nostrils. We inhale. Feel your breath through to the navel and below the navel, to the stomach. And while exhaling again, your stomach relaxes, empty of air. But as close, as comfortable, as relaxed as possible, let the breath be very comfortable, as it always is. Try to get breath equally through both nostrils, if you can. Let the breath be very relaxed, comfortable, and calming, and bring your awareness to your navel. With the breath, it’s going up to the navel and going back. Pupok, relax, go ahead. Keep your stomach very relaxed, very relaxed, and bend your knees, legs slightly apart. Feel very relaxed in your legs, very relaxed. As well as your arms, very relaxed, very relaxed, as you like. The energy, the power, the breath through the navel. Feel your navel, how it’s going up and down in your stomach, but very relaxed. Hands on the floor. Don’t hold your knees. And again, your feet should be on the floor. Very relaxed, very comfortable. In this way, what we do—if there are tensions or problems or anger—this will be released. The stomach is very relaxed, very completely relaxed. Now, try to get more breath in and exhale. Not too long a breath, and also not so little. Deesh. Again, bring your knees towards your body, and with both hands, hold your knees. Comfortably and slowly, turn to the left side. Stay there, very relaxed, with your breath, and then to the right. Stretch your hands sidewards, then above your head, and one by one, stretch your legs slowly on the floor. Relax, just relax. Just relax. And place your hands beside the body. And on the side that is more comfortable for you, sit down. Again, there are two postures you can use. If you can, sit with both knees touching the ground. If you cannot do this for long, then sit in vajrāsana. Then, bring your chin down here near your collarbone, but don’t go back; keep it positioned over both knees. Place your hands with elbows straight, leaning a little bit forward—not too much—so that your elbows are straight and your shoulders come up a little, like your knees. Going inside, the neck, then slightly like this, then your skin touching down here. Then you can close your eyes. But while inhaling, and then exhaling through the mouth—but not too long—feel your breath from your lower lips. You feel warmth on your lips. Then, close the lips and inhale, but don’t lift your head up, no. Always look like this, all the time: inhaling, exhaling. Did you hear me? So, fourteen times. Okay? And then relax your shoulders and elbows. And take your head straight. Close your lips. Only inhale and exhale through the nostrils. In that breath, normal breath, but inhale to the navel, and exhale through both nostrils, and let the stomach go a little inward. Eleven times. Good. Don’t go like, "Look to me. Hey, boys, look to me." Hey, boys, look at me. I didn’t say you should practice now, okay? I’m giving you directions. So, observe my posture—my chin, my head, my shoulders, my fingers, my knees—how it is. Not like that. This is not a kuṇḍalinī practice. These are completely other techniques of the yogas. So don’t make yourself like this, lying there, uncomfortable. "I am comfortable, Swāmī." I am not, otherwise I will let you stand, take off, and for half an hour you stand up there. I don’t want that. But because those techniques are very, very comfortable and easier, they have led to the good path inside. So, hands are on our knees, and our shoulders up a little, then a little, so, a little lean forward, then inhale, and exhale. Exhale through the mouth. Inhale through the nostrils. Exhale through the mouth. After that, eleven times, you come relaxed up like this. Shoulders are relaxed, knees are relaxed. Lips are closed, and there is a going, anuloma viloma, like from breath also, like this: inhale to the navel, and exhale also from the navel. So now, go. Everybody, fourteen times, and then you relax, you know, and the breath goes through the navel. And when we are also doing, also with the navel. And because we are giving this all to our all yogas in daily life, people and others around the whole world, you are looking at this, so my dear, all different telephones which you have, all four, you should constantly have your eyes on all four. Siddha was always asking you, and nobody listened. Everybody saw exactly. Somebody will say, "Swamījī, don’t talk between," but I talk to everybody. And you know, the breath was going a little deeper. The breath is a little deeper than usual. When you come after the fourteenth, then five times, six times, normally like this, and again, go ahead. You have to do it three times, so you have already done one time, and two times are still left. In between this, where you are doing, many people will say, "Perhaps we are not practicing," so have a very fine, some instrument sound. Be comfortable, be in good feelings, but do your exercises which I give. The breath is very important, and the navel is one of the most powerful and best, and all is alive. Now, five times Oṃ. Keep your head straight. Many people were not doing it well. Tomorrow, I will teach you again. Five times Oṃ from the navel, nābhi. Close your eyes, both in the fingers, in the ears, elbows on the same side of the shoulders, equal, and five times brahmari. Look. Don’t close. Loose. And feel yourself. Concentrate. Eyes will be closed. But you should know that you bring the sound, air, or energy, whatever it is, through the middle of the nose, below both eyes, between here, and coming to the Sahasrāra Cakra. Many things you will have difficulties with. You will feel like more sound is on the right side or the left side. That’s why you have to concentrate to bring this brāhmrī exactly to the brahma lokas, that. Five times. Then bring your hands down. I will say, "Go ahead, loud," okay? So, get ready, okay, loud.
