This is a very precious meditation. It balances the three activating powers, the three nervous systems of the body; parasympathetic, sympathetic and voluntary. These are very important and must be in balance.
Do this meditation so you will never be in pain. It will slowly and steadily build very strong, steel-like stamina in you. You’ll think better, act better and be more intuitive. This exercise is for the spine, which controls the nervous system. It will balance every cell in your body.
Exercise - 1
Sit in easy pose or in a chair with your spine straight. Place the arms out straight, at 30 degrees from the sides, in a line with the thighs.
The eyes are closed and focused at the third eye point.
The breath will come automatically.
This meditation is done without a mantra.
Right hand: palm facing forward, keep index and middle finger still and straight, bending the ring and little fingers into the palm, held by your thumb. Your arm and the extended fingers remain straight and rigid, and do not move through the meditation. (Imagine you are shooting a derringer.) Left hand: keep your elbow straight with palm facing the floor. Move your left arm rapidly up and down, about 9 inches total.
To End: Inhale, solidify the body, and, keeping the attention at the third-eye point, tense every muscle to rebuild the body. Hold 30 seconds and exhale. Immediately inhale and hold 20 seconds. The last time, rapidly exhale, inhale and hold 5 seconds, exhale and relax.
11 minutes.
