Practice

A gentle exercise and meditation sequence is guided.

Stand and place hands on the chest. Sit down properly on the chair, then rise with a slight forward bend. Return to a seated position. This protects the knees. Observe the correct posture demonstrated. All participants should sit and follow along. The timing for holding a pose is precise; a kṣaṇa is half a second. Now, sit for meditation.

Assume Aśvinī Mudrā. Contract and relax. Keep the body and spinal column straight. Continue the contraction and relaxation sequence for a count. Then, place palms on knees and lean slightly forward. Bring the chin near the throat for a count, breathing steadily. Perform Brahmari pranayama. Chant Om. Feel the whole body. Conclude by warming the palms and face.

"Contract, relax. Aśvinī mudrā."

"Breathe through the nostrils and exhale from the mouth, but do Aśvinī Mudrā."

Now, stand up. Place your hands on your chest. Straighten your knees. Now, sit down—not like going to the toilet, but sit down on the chair properly. Yes. And up again, with a little bend forward. Then go back, as if sitting on the toilet. Yes, that's it. This way your knees will not be a problem. Look at Matajī. She is in one of the best postures. And come up. Everyone, sit down. Sit down. Yes, because she is exercising very well. So, Matajī, can you show this pose once more? Do you see? Thank you. Oh my God. Pane Bože. She is not old, but she is strong. She is a grandmother. She is a great-grandmother. Yes, so you cannot see everybody because he is a little in the way. So again, how is Matajī doing it? All together. Yes. He is also very good. Go ahead. Yes, webcast, you are on webcast every day, making me tense. You should have a movable camera. Hurry home once again. Okay, put your camera on. Yes, very good. But you have to stay; I will count. Yes, of course. So, one second. Okay? Not more. I will say, yes, the second is very long. Hari Om, a kṣaṇa is half a second. Really, half a second. I am not joking. You can look if you have [a clock], and then so. And now that was one second. Once more, how can I come? If you cannot, you can stand up, but who can come? One second, okay? Okay, yes. One second. Very good, you were all very good. Please sit down. Thank you. Now, sit in a good position for meditation. Aśvinī Mudrā. Hands like this. Eyes closed. Does anyone not know this Aśvinī Mudrā? Who doesn't know? Okay, one, two, three, four. We contract and relax. Contract, relax. Aśvinī mudrā. Toilet. Okay, now, body straight so that the stomach is very straight. The spinal column is straight. So now again, continue. Begin again. Contract. Relax. Contract. Relax. Contract. Relax. Contract. Relax. Go ahead. Six. Seven, eight, nine, ten. Release. Eyes closed. Make your body comfortable. The children should not climb on the tree. Again, eleven times. One, two, three, four. Go ahead. Your palms on the knees, and now lean a little bit forward. The chin, twenty-five times. Your chin is near your throat, but not for too long. Breathe on. Just contract, relax. Inhale and exhale. Go ahead. Breathe through the nostrils and exhale from the mouth, but do Aśvinī Mudrā. When you finish, close your eyes. Relax your shoulders. Relax your shoulders and your neck, eleven times. Brahmari pranayama, eleven times. Eyes closed. After that, put your hands on your thighs five times. Om from the nāḍī, seven steps. Normal breath. Feel your whole body. Na kata buddhi. Pukarata buddhi. Open your eyes. And make your palms warm, and also the face. Thank you.
