She switched on Sri Ravi Shankar’s audio cassette-I prayed for his guidance in this regard and that he himself should lead us who are treading on the right path. Eyes closed no matter what happens she said. SudarshanaKriya: su= good, darshana- vision, kriya-action of breath Proper vision of who you are through breath fotsteps to meditate easily. We practiced Om, Pranayam, Basthrika again. We need to sojourn inwards to answer such questions. Good that she made us think on such questions. What do you need to feel happy? I need self-satisfaction and self-realization. I feel happy only when there is a balance between the materialistic life and my spiritual life. But they all give me only temporary happiness. I thought so many things that would make me happy. Today we answered the 2 questions we were asked yesterdayWhen do you feel happy? I pondered much over that question. Reason is- Sudarshan Kriya makes one alert. But frankly speaking, I didn’t get sleep at all no matter how much I tried. Last night after the 1st class, I thought I was tired and would get a good night’s sleep.

4> Before sleeping, do just pranayam- inhale & exhale 10 times. 2> Pranayam-3 sets 3>Basthrika-Do it 20 times thrice with break of 20 seconds. If you do pranayam etc your nervous system will work very well peacefully stress free. When you say M, it should come from throat till head. When you say A, it should come from below navel point- all down parts of body When you say U, it should come from stomach till throat. Inhale & bring your hands up, make a fist, exhaling bring your fist down touching your ribs but fist & hand to the side (not back or flat) AUM It reps A for BrahmA, U for VishnU and M for Maheswara. Basthrika: Put your fist near your shoulder, relax. 3> Put your hands up straight facing the palms and then bring down half way until shoulders, hands v or cone shaped, touching the back of your shoulders. 2> Same way, hold your arms w/both fingers and Inhale &hold your breath & exhale. 1> Hold your 2 fingers of your both hands on hips sideways as if hands can hold a coke can.

Pranayam-3 types The process is inhale until count 4, hold your breath for count 4, exhale until count 6, and hold your breath until count 2. Ujjayi-Ut + jay = victory over mind- inhale and, exhale BBMINES- body, breath, mind, intellect, memory, ego & spirit or God or consciousness.
