Practising with Vishwaguruji

Aśvinī Mudrā is a practice of controlled energy through posture and breath.

Sit comfortably with hands on knees. Close your eyes and chant Oṁ, feeling the vibration move from the navel to the crown and to the nostrils. Bring the head down, chin toward the shoulder, with hands applying equal pressure on the knees. This is the mudrā. Perform it twenty-five times, contracting with inhalation and releasing with exhalation. Do not hold the contraction long. The vibration travels through the spinal cord to the ears and ascends. This energy, Śakti, is a universal power. The practice is like controlling a horse, requiring complete bodily control. After repetitions, chant Oṁ five times from the navel and relax.

"Feel it in the whole body. From the navel to the top of the head, then back again to the nostrils."

"This vibration, when we release it, will spread through the whole body very finely once again."

Devadhī Deva, Deva Purīṣa, Mahādevakī, Satguru Swāmīmādvanājī Bhagavānakī, Alak Purījī Mahādevakī, Satyusanātana Dharmakī. Good morning—it is already midday. Our exercises are beautiful. Now we will practice. Everyone, please sit in a good position. Sit comfortably. Ensure every part of your posture is comfortable. Place your hands on your body, on your knees. Close your eyes. We will chant Oṁ five times, moving the vibration from the navel to the Sahasrāra, and from the Sahasrāra to both nostrils in the Ājñā Chakra, at the forehead. You know this practice. Now, take a deep inhale. Sound Oṁ. Feel it in the whole body. From the navel to the top of the head, then back again to the nostrils. Inhale deeply five times, then exhale. Do not move your head. Straighten your neck. Deep inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Relax. A very beautiful, comfortable lecture. Try to bring both knees to the ground. Now, place both hands on your knees, palms on the knees. Sit straight. Let your head come a little down. Bring your chin toward your shoulder. Pull your shoulders. Remain there. This is Paśvinī Mudrā. Do not hold it for too long. Contract and relax. Inhale and exhale. It is controlled. Vṛddhijite konečník. Twenty-five times. No tension. Just keep your elbows straight, hands on the knees. Inhale and contract. Exhale and release. In this vibration, it should travel through your spinal cord. It will come to your chin, your shoulder, and you will feel vibration in both your ears. It is beautiful, very relaxed. It goes through the spinal column, comes through your ears as vibration, and rises to the Sahasrāra Chakra. It is very beautiful, very powerful, very peaceful. It is the power of Śakti. Śakti means our energy. This energy is everywhere. Now, inhale and bring your head up. Relax your elbows. Feel thyself within thyself. This means feeling each and every vibration through the whole body. Whatever you feel, it is that energy. This vibration, when we release it, will spread through the whole body very finely once again. Perform twenty-five Aśvinī Mudrās. Feel it, go ahead. You should know this; you are not all looking or writing something. You should have that awareness. From my voice, my instructions, you should find yourself very far in this āśrama mudrā, and then the very proper exercise or practice on the body will become clear to us. Our head is a little down, the chin is closing, and this Śakti is coming. Śakti means not female, neither man. It is that power for all in one. It will be like lightning, but it will take time. The chin is very, very powerful. Aśvinī Mudrā also means controlling the horse. The horse, his chin comes down. The horse is thin, comes to his shoulder. The hands must apply pressure on the knees. There is complete control in the whole body. Both hands are equal. The pressure is the same in both hands. Through the whole body, it is like electric. That is why yogīs have controlled all these parts of the body. We say it is like when you ride a horse, you have to control it. He controls the teacher or the master, and masters the horse. Hold this Śakti and Bhakti that is coming through this Vajranāḍī Aśvinī Mudrā. After twenty-five, open it again and do one more round of twenty-five. Now, from the navel, chant our mantra Oṁ five times. Then relax a little. Again, five times. And again. And three times. Inhale again, five times. Brahmrī, you know, everybody. Again, Brahmrī, five times. And one round more, five times. Pět opakování. Ša...
