Vishuddhi chakra and dreams

The human being is composed of five sheaths, from the physical to the blissful, through which the soul journeys toward its origin.

The physical body is the food sheath, sustained by grain which is sacred and divine. The soul traverses the universe, and ancestral souls may linger, awaiting liberation through ceremonies or the spiritual attainment of their descendants. The vital energy sheath animates the body, and the mental sheath must be purified into clarity. The sheath of intellect distinguishes human knowledge, and the innermost sheath is bliss, though ordinary happiness is fleeting. Time within this human body is a precious, non-renewable diamond. The soul's progress is hindered by three obstacles: impurity of body and mind, disturbances that scatter concentration, and the curtain of ignorance. The Vishuddhi Chakra acts as a filter for these karmic burdens and fears. Practices like mantra repetition, Pranayama, and wearing a Rudraksha bead can purify this center and aid in self-healing. The ultimate value lies not in the flesh but within, where the fountain of joy and immortal Self resides.

"Within you is the fountain of joy, within you is the ocean of bliss, and within you is the immortal Self."

"Non-violence is the highest principle."

Part 1: The Five Sheaths and the Journey of the Soul Brahmanandam paramasukharam kevalam jnanamurati dvandatitam gaganasadrashyam tasmasyadilaksham Ekam Nityam Vimalachalam Sarvaddhisakshibhutam Bhavatitam Trigunarahitam Satgurutam Namamyam. Om Shanti, Shanti,... Prabhavatu, Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī. Once again, a very good morning. The Vishuddhi Chakra—yesterday we came to our Nāḍīs. From the beginning of creation, according to Vedic mathematics, the yogas, or the time—how time is divided in this universe. We took a very quick shortcut. We took the third path and came to our human life. We have five different bodies. In Vedānta philosophy, Yoga Vedānta, it is said: Annamaya Kośa. Kośa means a space, a division. Annamaya Kośa, the food sheath, our physical body. Anna is a vital part of our nourishment. Aṃpūrṇe Śaḍāpūrṇe Śaṅkar Praṇvallabhe Jan Vairāgya Siddhārtham Bikṣām Dehi Cāparvatī Mātā Cāparvatī Devī Pitā Devo Maheśvarāḥ. It means grain, it means seed, and one should respect grain, bread. Bread is sacred, bread is divine, bread is our life. One must not throw bread away. One may feed other living beings with it. And if one sees grain lying somewhere on the ground, one should pick it up with respect. The soul wanders through the entire universe, comes again into the atmosphere, closer to our planet. Now is the precise time for our ancestors, our forefathers. And the souls of our ancestors are still in this Bhuva Loka. As long as they are not liberated from these karmas, or from the lineage of our children—as long as no proper prayers and ceremonies are performed—the souls still hang there. They wait for liberation. Therefore, we know that in every religion there are several ceremonies. And one special, very significant ceremony is the burial, Antyeṣṭi. According to Hinduism, there are 16 Saṃskāras, 16 ceremonies. From birth to death, the last is Anteṣṭi, burial, funeral. And after the funeral, there are several times; that is called Śrāddha Pitṛ Tarpaṇ. Pitṛ, the ancestors, our forefathers who are not yet freed from this chain with your families. They wish to go further but cannot. There is no one to break this chain. And so we come to Christianity here, because more Christians are present now. Now comes the time, All Saints', All Souls'. And everyone goes to the cemetery and gives flowers. Or, according to the custom, they go to a church or a spiritual place and pray. So, in all religions, according to culture and so on, there is always a thought of a person who has passed away. In primal religions, and still among the Indians, Mexicans, and many other peoples, also the Australians—what are the Aborigines in New Zealand called?—the Maoris, Indians, have a very strong connection with our ancestors, our forefathers. If you do not do this, you will also face the same thing. And this is one of the reasons that, when you lead a family life, you should ensure that you have children and give them an education, so that your children, after your death, take over your entire well-being, your culture, your heritage. And heritage means not only your house, your money, possessions, and so on, but your spiritual heritage, your soul's heritage, the tradition, the culture of your forefathers. Several hundred generations pass; it is not something that afterwards you simply do what you want, and you don't care about anything. "Papa, that is your coffee, not mine." Do not say that. Soon you will be in that position. Or you go through the spiritual path and have processed all your karmas here, and meditated enough and prayed enough, and done enough of your spiritual work—on yourself and also for your spiritual ancestors. Then automatically it is said: several generations from the past and several generations from the future you can liberate alone if you have Self-realization. So much power you have then. So, Anna, grain. The soul wanders through the atmosphere, comes through water, moisture, air, rain, and through water. 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 Ākāśa, from the fire realm, comes through the attitude, the environment, the fire element. And through this fire element and with the help of the air, it wanders into the water element, and through the water it wanders again into matter, into the body. Through vegetation, and in vegetation, especially in the seed—be it fruits or vegetables, but mostly grain. And one grain, an ancient grain, is rice. And the rice—what one does in India when giving a Tilak, one places rice grains on the forehead. Because rice is future, past, present, wisdom, and life. And this wisdom and life should always be with you. A symbol of luck, a protection. Durk Getraide Bandharde Sele Inskharpa Anapurne Voginuk Getraide Gift Sadapurne Anapurne Sadapurne Shankar Prana Valabhe. And that is the Shankara, the light, the Vipussa, the Sambhu, the Svembhu, the Self, Shiva Jyoti. Prāṇa Vallabhe, the Prāṇa. Then comes the Prāṇamaya Kośa, Annamaya Kośa—our feet, nourishment, this body that we can touch and feel. Śaṅkara, Prāṇa, Vallabha—this divine light wanders into the body as energy, as Prāṇa. Vallabha is also the consort of God. And so, God Himself manifests in us as ourselves. He lives. Without His existence, nothing, not even a blade of grass or a tree leaf, can move. And when this Prāṇa is gone, the Kāyā is finished. You can cut it, you can burn it, you can bury it, everything. Jñāna Vairāgya Siddhārtham. And therefore, for knowledge, for certainty and to realize that, for my realization as a human existence, to realize the human goal: Bhikṣām Dehi Cha Pārvatī, O Mother. Parvati, give me food, alms. Bhiksham Mata Cha Parvati Devi, the primordial Goddess, the primal mother, the Shakti Parvati. Pita Devo Maheshwaraha, and the father is Swayambhu, Shiva, and so on. It is a beautiful mantra for food. So, Annamaya Kośa, Prāṇamaya Kośa, then comes Manomaya Kośa, the mind. The mind is very near. So, in our body we have five elements, living five elements. And now, all these five elements must have a balance: harmony, connection, unity. And here again is Yoga. This says the power that holds all our five elements together, like cement holds two bricks together. And so the Prāṇa holds our body and mind together: all five elements and all five sheaths. Mind, emotions, memory, speech, thoughts, Vṛttis, consciousness, soul, Ātmā, and so on. Within this human or animal phenomenon, Mother Nature or God has given so many functions, whereby this soul is possessed, preserved, and given an opportunity for a soul to proceed towards the origin. Just as from the ocean, through the fire element, steam rises high. From twenty meters high, when you look at the ocean or the lake, you see a haze. Right. And that is the parā. It wanders and changes its name. It is the ocean that wanders into the steam. Now it is not the ocean; it is steam. It rises high, loses its identity again and gets another name: clouds. And now, again through the atmosphere, millions of droplets come together and begin to rain. So we say now it is rain. And now, many droplets come together and begin to flow: water. Before it was rain, now it is water. And now, what flows automatically wants to flow in the direction where the ocean is, meaning where the origin is. And so it is with the soul: no matter from which living being, it has a goal to return to the origin. And every soul has been given a shell and time, to live in a particular body, Karma, natural karma. We have no natural karma; we have karma that we have made intentionally, with knowledge or ignorance. Our karma is accounted for more strongly, but for animals, not so much. Animals must go through karma, and humans have the possibility to influence their karma. Therefore, the greatest guilt is that one kills a living being. That means you interfere in the development of that particular soul. And this is a cosmic law; you get back a very strong punishment. That is sin. Ahiṃsā paramodharmāḥ. Non-violence is the highest principle. And thereby it is said: live vegetarian. You shall kill nothing, no one. It is very difficult for us. Very, very difficult. Okay, you are vegetarian, but you drive a car. How many mosquitoes die in summer, right? Or you walk through the garden, the park at night. Yes, many living beings come to you. But those you affect through your ignorance, without knowing what happened, that has a lighter punishment. But punishment, nevertheless we must go through it. And so it happens daily, and for that we have daily a beautiful thought or an opportunity to free ourselves from the karmas we have done without knowledge, in ignorance. And for that there is Karma Yoga. For that there is help: to help all living beings. And here comes the thought, unfortunately, we only say "humanitarian." This word "humanitarian" has caused a great discrimination in our head. So it should also be veterinary, also ecological, and so on. It is an entire planet, a love. This planet is a love, and this love, we say, "God is Love and Love is God." So this Planet is the Planet of the Love of Mother Earth and Cosmic Father. He who incarnates here, He who manifests here, here He has manifested Himself through countless living beings. So, Prāṇamaya Kośa, Manomaya Kośa. And Mana, yesterday we spoke a little about how it brings its feelings, thoughts from the Jñānendriyas, the sense organs of knowledge: eyes, nose, ears, tongue, skin, and so on. The mind wanders, and the mind, pure mind, is called the holy spirit. The Holy Spirit is that when, through your Tapasyās, 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 feeling. You give something with your pure thoughts, with joy. Then your mind becomes free and very, very clear, powerful. Then you can help. Then you act as a flashlight for those who are in the hand, going through the darkness. And the light that is inside the battery is the power of the mantra, your Guru-Mantra. And this battery you must recharge again. So, that means constantly repeating your mantra, Ajapa-Japa. No matter what you do, let your mantra repeat in your thoughts. Through this, your battery is continuously recharged. Manomaya Kośa, Vijñānamaya Kośa. The fourth sheath, also called a body, is our knowledge. Through knowledge one is human, through knowledge one is a saint, and through knowledge one is divine. And through ignorance is the ignorant. So, one says, "I need one who has knowledge. Mother, give such a birth to your child." Not that he becomes rich, but that he becomes wise. Thousands of rich, and only one wise is much more than thousands of rich persons. Just as tons of theory is zero compared to one gram of practice. So, Jñānamaya Kośa, and then the fifth is Ānandamaya Kośa. Ānanda means joy, Ānanda means happiness, Ānanda means pleasure, happy, pleasant, and Mahānanda means bliss. One Ānanda, what we say, "I am happy, I am happy," that is only for a while, for a moment. If you are very happy, then prepare yourself now to encounter sadness. And if you are very sad, then rejoice greatly that now happiness will come again. When the sun sets, be sure, now 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 shadow becomes longer. And when the shadow becomes longer, it means now is sunset. And so this means, after some years, 100 years of life, the steps in thought become longer. Now, we know, children, we are in the afternoon, because it is almost sunset already. Therefore, there is one thing that is precious and sacred for us: time. Whoever does not heed time, who is not conscious of time, is a fool. Simply wasting time around is a sin. Every second is so precious that you cannot buy anything with it. And every second that has passed is gone, forever. It will never come back. No matter, you can fly with your fastest rocket, you will not come back. And in this time, the human body is a diamond that one cannot buy. This diamond you cannot buy with your wealth. You cannot lend it to anyone, you cannot borrow it, or you cannot buy it in the supermarket. This is a one-time, unique diamond: that is you. And this diamond, which shines here as a living Ātmā, the light, only once, Hari, finished. Your radiance is your spirituality. Your radiance is your spiritual power. Your radiance is your honesty. Your radiance is being there. Your radiance is being there for you. For eternity means nothing physical, but your name, your reputation, your spiritual power. Eternally people will live from that; they will be nourished by your spiritual energy. And so time and life. It is only a moment, only an instant. And this instant is for us so fast. Then it remains only in our memory, in dreaming, feeling, remembering. Yes, we should learn to keep it in your memory, that’s all. The rest will go away. Water flows. So, memory of your childhood, memory of your parents, your friends, everything you have, you experience again through dreams or through memory. It is beautiful. Whoever cannot retain memory is lost. You lose your possession, your mental possession. And therefore, again, the mind, the spirit, is the clear spirit in your brain. And here we come back again: those who live vegetarian for generations. They have the best memory and the best state of consciousness until the last minutes and seconds in life. Practice Pranayama if you wish for your thoughts to become clear, your brain to be clear, and for you to possess your brain so that it does not become calcified. Then take these drops that I have mentioned, and Pranayama. Take your Pranayama stick and every day there is a beautiful feeling and clarity in the head. And of course, to lead a pure life means to practice Yoga, Yoga in daily life, Prāṇāyāma, vegetarian life, organic food. In Yoga literature, nothing is written that you should eat organic, because at that time there was no question; everything was organic, and now everything is also organic. But it has become a bit illogical—that is, the chemicals that humans have made in this century. Within 40 years they have destroyed the entire planet. The greatest virus for this planet is the human. That is the greatest virus. So, Vijñānamaya Kośa. Vijñānamaya Kośa means wisdom, Ānandamaya Kośa. Two types of Ānanda: one is temporariness. Ayaḥ, Sotho, Jai, Gakya, Rāja, Ranka, Vajira. Whoever comes will go. No matter who—king, beggar, or other people or life—and everyone must go through one door. There are no VIP doors. And this one door is called: the end of this life. This life means dying and dying. Two types of dying: one through karmas, illness, that, that... and so on, and second: voluntarily. A Yogi gives up his body and liberates himself, comes voluntarily and goes again voluntarily. But Kharpa has its Dharma. And Kharpa has three Dharma: to be born, to grow, and to die. Janam, Janamna, to be born; growing, badahona; mirtu, to die. To be born, to grow, and to die: this is the Dharma. But in this body, what the diamond inside is—your soul, your Ātmā, your knowledge—that is the most important. Part 2: The Value Within The value is not of this flesh, this body, but of what is inside. Secondly, Ānandamaya Kośa means bliss. And bliss is within us. 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 divine life." Everything is within us. Literally, ānandamaya kośa can also be compared with kāraṇa śarīra, the causal body. Causal Body means the cause, the origin. And so the cause is like a return into yourself. You take the depth, the experiences from outside into your inner Self, wander within yourself, process within yourself, come back again, transport to your various sense organs, and you begin to act. That is a circle. So, Kāraṇa Śarīra, the Causal Body, is the cause. And so, what was the cause? Why did you do that? So, origin, action, and result. The cause, the action, and the reaction. And we wander through these three things in this circle. We do not escape from it. That is the vicious cycle. Only one thing [breaks it]: Jñāna, true knowledge. So, five different kośas. Within these five different kośas, it is very important for us, first, to purify the physical kośa. Everything that happens to us as illness or any sadness and so on attacks all five of our kośas. And the last one is the physical body, which we feel. Everything is planned in the subtle world, the astral world; everything is planned. Your inner Self, the Self-breather, sees it. But this consciousness cannot coordinate anything, and because of that we cannot see the future. We have three great obstacles, and because of them we cannot see the future, cannot remember the past, and in the present do not know what to do. And the three obstacles are Māla, Vikṣepa, and Āvaraṇa. Mala: impurity, physical, mental impurity, thoughts, food, everything. Vikṣepa: disturbances, inner disturbances, outer disturbances, in personal karmas, personal problems, impersonal problems. You have no personal problems, but you have an impersonal problem. That means you are very happy and healthy and everything is okay, but unfortunately, your father has cancer. Well, that makes you sad—attachment. So, we humans know and should know that all living beings are so strongly connected with relatives and families. In Russia they did a scientific experiment. Back then, when I was active and taught yoga in that part of the continent. They took four living beings, namely a rabbit family, a mother and three babies. And they attached measuring devices for heart rate and to the head and took them away. The mother in one direction and the three little babies in another direction. 100 kilometers, 1,000 kilometers away, and now they killed a baby, and at that same time, in minutes or seconds, suddenly the mother's heart became very restless and anxious, and also the hearts of the two other surviving babies. Even though all four were far apart, hundreds of kilometers away. Then they killed the second one, again the same thing happened. And then they killed the mother. Oh, only one baby was left, and it was so restless, so nervous. This means it's not just that people feel sadness, or we feel sadness and pain for our children or family members, but animals do too. This means if you cannot wipe away the tears of another, then at least try not to be the cause of the tears. And so the feelings, like Vikṣepa, many, many problems: health problems, social problems, family problems, and now we also have, how do you say, financial problems and so much. Vikṣepa, an example of Vikṣepa: We are at a lake, and you have lost a beautiful ring that fell into the lake. And the lake is about 8 meters deep. The water is clear, but there are so many waves on it, so you cannot see exactly where it lies. So that a diver could dive and bring back your ring. Because there are so many waves. Now we take a glass pane, a large frame with glass in it. And we place the glass pane flat on the water's surface. What have we done? We have calmed, blocked the waves. The frame of the wooden frame blocked the waves. And now we can say, aha, there it lies, click, you dive in there, and you come back up with your ring. So, our consciousness is the lake, but our problems are the waves. We try to get to our Ātmā. You meditate, and suddenly you get a call or a message or information. Someone comes and says your child has been in a car accident. Are you still sitting there calmly meditating? No. Immediately you will stand up. My God, where, what, how? That is the Vikṣepa of saṃsāra, and therefore we pray daily: "May God protect us from such accidents, such misfortune, and so on." And that gives us such strength and knowledge that we are capable of coping with it. And for this, our Viśuddhi Cakra and Ājñā Cakra are responsible. The heart suffers twice. Holi Gurujī, my master, always said, whenever I traveled, flew from India to Europe, and when I returned from Europe to India, I can tell you, so much love, such pure love, which I received from my master, nowhere else. Holi Gurujī said: "The heart suffers twice. When a loved one goes away, then you have pain in the heart. True? Or when you meet an enemy, then your heart again has this pain." So, an enemy can also be an accident. An enemy has many forms. And because of this we pray: "God protect us from enemies. And strengthen our heart so that we will never feel tears." Love is invisible, but love is like a fragrance. And love is so strong, no bullet, no rifle bullet can pass through. Love is bulletproof, even though it is not visible. And love is very, very weak, and there is no strength in this universe like love. And this love is the soul, the soul is love, inner love, not this little, little "pussycat this and pussycat that." And now it is forbidden—not forbidden—but now it is also advised that you should not give kisses, because of this damned swine flu. What is it in Germany too? Constantly newspapers write in school, at the beginning of school, we, at least in Austria, these newspapers say: "No kissing." And so Vikṣepa, Kleśas. And in Vikṣepa there are still three [types] that cause the strongest Vikṣepa. There are three types of tapas: ādhibhautik, ādhidaivik, and ādhyātmik. You can find this in the book here, what is the title? The Hidden Powers in Humans. There we have again written everything in detail, in a table. So it would be good if you would look into it sometime, not "gucken," but "schauen." "Gucken" is forbidden. We say in Austria, "Was guckst du hier?" "Gucken" means to stare. Shall I tell a joke? Just to relax, no? A man who lives alone in his house, a beautiful house. And his neighbor is an old lady, 85 years old. One day she went to the police, with her walking stick, slowly, slowly. And she filed a complaint with the police. And she complained about him: "In broad daylight, in his house, in his yard, he walks around all night." And that is not good. It bothers me very much. So, the policeman came and took him away, and in her presence the policeman spoke with him. He said: "What? I am surprised. How do you know, madam, between your house and my house we have two-and-a-half-meter-high walls, two and a half meters." She said: "Yes, when I climb up the ladder and so on, then it is night." The police said, please don't climb up the ladder anymore. You are too old to climb up the ladder, it is dangerous, please. And so it is said: purposely invite the problems. Intentionally, you invite the problems. Ādhibhautik, ādhidaivik, ādhyātmik, Māla, Vikṣepa, Āvaraṇa. The third is Āvaraṇa. Āvaraṇa means a curtain. And here curtain means ignorance. Now, in modern technology, much has become easier. But all of this that has been developed comes from yogic science. A yogi could see everything with closed eyes. Very far. You sit here, and your father, your mother, your friend or girlfriend or husband or wife on an island. What he or she is doing, you can see, just as in the Bhagavad Gītā. Who has read the Bhagavad Gītā? So I don't see. Please, when I ask, then I make an effort to do this exercise. And 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, he will receive an ability, as long as this battlefield exists and he will be there. He will be a clairvoyant, and he can communicate everything to you. And so Sañjaya closed his eyes and saw everything that happened. And he reported to the king what was going on. Guru Kṣatri, Dharma Kṣatri, in this Dharma Kṣatri, on the side of the Guru Kṣatri, what happens. What makes the Pāṇḍavas, and what makes my son Duryodhana, and so on. And so, that is modern science; technology has brought television, yes. And now, we have television, our Swamiji TV. Many, many countries are watching us completely live. We sit here, there. This is that yogic science. Now, here nothing works, but here it works. That is that. And so, when a woman became pregnant, she knew nothing, whether it was a girl or a little doll, a boy. Only at birth did she know, aha, it is a beautiful girl. Lakṣmī is born, or a son is born. But now with ultrasound, ultrasound, one can see whether it is male or female. And so Vikṣepa, Āvaraṇa, a curtain of ignorance. So, everything is in us, everything is inside here. We know, somewhere here is a button, somewhere is a cause. If we know that, we can remove all diseases. But we do not know where that is. But it is here. What can be such an ignorance when we are unaware about this small piece of this material, which we ourselves call? What is going on inside, we do not know. And so, curtain, Vikṣepa. So, no, the, Āvaraṇa. So, Māla: impurity. Vikṣepa: disturbances, where one cannot concentrate. And Āvaraṇa is the curtain of ignorance. And so, these are a problem for our inner restlessness. And if we have not solved that, we cannot progress further. And so, our Viśuddhi Cakra, the Viśuddhi Cakra, filters our karma. Like our kidneys filter our blood. Viśuddhi Cakra will filter all your fears, lack of clarity, and all your problems, about which you do not even know what it is about. One is very, very anxious, but does not know of what. Of course, your dear doctor is not helpful, that he sees. So, when a doctor does not understand what the illness is, for this illness there is no name. Only one thing, and that is the psyche. And what the psyche is, is the karma in our subconscious mind. An inexplicable longing that we have never fulfilled. Or a fear that we have never released. And so, what a doctor can then do, according to our examinations, is everything: he gives us some chemicals, medicine, so that you relax and your memory becomes a little weaker. Through that you forget your fears. But the right medicine is self-healing. And self-healing means, through Prāṇāyāma, to expel a lot of toxins, to let a lot of oxygen flow toward the brain to the Viśuddhi Cakra, to cleanse properly, and to make your intellect clear, to make your feelings clear. And so, people who have psychic problems go on vacation in the winter, not in the summer. Why? Because in winter, we have here, but in Australia there is more light. And when we have light here in Australia, it is winter. So, they go on 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 ensure that nothing like that ever happens. God, we protect ourselves from such visions, no? Can you imagine, we come into this hall and 50 corpses are lying here. Sad? And can you imagine, we come in and we all sit happily and have Satya Yoga here, happy. Why? The dead body is the same person. But what is the matter? Love, life is God. The life that lives is God. Life is love. And what lives is beautiful. And that makes us fully alive, our Viśuddhi Cakra. And therefore, we balance our Viśuddhi Cakra; if it is harmonically unbalanced, then through Āsanas and Prāṇāyāmas. If it is emotionally blocked, then through meditation and our mantra. So, Viśuddhi Cakra is a very important session. Many people say, Swamiji, suddenly something happened, I cannot speak and I cannot swallow, I cannot breathe, there is a lump here. Well, then you have not chewed your dumplings enough. Now it is stuck here, you cannot swallow it. That is a blockage in the Viśuddhi Cakra, in the larynx. The whole larynx is cramped, this entire part. And there is a, there is a Viśuddhi Cakra. I spoke on the phone 15 days ago with one of the best Ayurvedic doctors, and he won a gold medal in India. The Indian government gave him a gold medal. I said, what is the best, simplest medicine for high blood pressure or for too low blood pressure. He said, Swamijī, tomorrow my son will bring to you what you need. I said, he cannot bring anything. He said, why? Because I am in Europe. Aha, you are in Austria. I said, yes. He said, "Swamijī, do you have a Rudrākṣa? What is Rudrākṣa?" A bead, a necklace. Take a large one, you wear three, four, or five beads and place them in the evening in an earthen pot or earthen jug. Fill it with water, half a glass, and in the morning take this water and drink it. Every day. Yes, it influences your blood pressure; it will go down or it will be regulated. How easy! And so it is also for our larynx, for our Viśuddhi Cakra, for our astral body and for this part of the body. It is effective here, if you have a Rudrākṣa or a Rudrākṣa Mālā around your neck. Try it, the Rudrākṣa should touch your skin. So, those who have problems with the thyroid gland or problems with breathing, with the throat, and with dreams, with emotions—suddenly you are very nervous, or you start to sweat suddenly—then a Rudrākṣa Mālā. If you can get a Mukhī Rudrākṣa, a beautiful Rudrākṣa, it has a strong effect. A Mukhī means, for example, it has only one cleft. One Mukhī, two Mukhī, three Mukhī, they go up to 16, 20, 21, hard to get. A one-Mukhī, which has only one cleft, a pure, best one, is the male Rudrākṣa. There is a hard form or a capsule form, which is female, too gentle. It has an effect, it is good, but it is too gentle. So, or just a Rudrākṣa bead on a red or black thread, hanging on your neck, like the small black threads I also have here, under 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 will become clearer, all dreams will harmonize, but you cannot say that you will only have beautiful dreams. The dreams are your reality. Dreams come as you feel them. But it will become so transparent. If it is horror, and transparent is very painful, then we want to quickly open our eyes. 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 hand. If it were in our hand, we would dream beautifully. We say, no, I don't want that one. I want this one. But we do not have any choice on that. So, for Viśuddhi Cakra, this problem, the very first problem, is solved.
