Sat Nam all,
I have just added the Thyroid Kriya below to my daily practice - I wonder if anyone is familiar w/it. I want to make sure I am doing this correctly.
My question is when I chant Kirtan Kriya (panj shabad)is there a mudra that goes w/this kriya? In the illustration which I could not cut and paste it looks like you are to have your hand on your knees fingers pointing down or atleast your index finger pointing down. Can I do Sa (touch thumb to pinky) Ta (thumb to ring finger) Na (thumb to middle finger) Ma (thumb to index finger)? Or is there a mudra that goes w/it? I know you should do these kriya's w/out changing them. Please advise. Thank you Namaste
Thyroid Kriya
A) Come into chair pose: knees bent, back parallel to the ground, hands grasping the heels firmly. Keep the spine straight. The head looks down. (A) Turn head to the left shoulder and say WHAHE. Turn head to the right shoulder and say GURU. Alternate at a moderate pace to make a continuous sound current:
WHAHE GURU WHAHE GURU WHAHE GURU. Continue for 3 minutes.
B) Stand up straight. Put hands on the hips and lean backwards. Keep the legs straight. Let the head fall back. (B) Turn head to the left and say WHAHE. Turn head to the right and say GURU. Continue for 3 minutes.
C) Stand straight. Bend a little so the hands rest on the knees. Spine is straight but bend the head up. (C) Then chant WHAHE while turning the head to the left. Chant GURU while turning head to the right. Continue for 3 minutes.
D) Stand up. Stretch arms overhead trying to touch the sky. (D) On WHAHE, the feet are flat on the ground. With GURU, rise up on the toes. Vibrate up and down for 3 minutes.
E) Sit on the heels. Place the palms flat on the floor just in front of the knees. Spine and arms are straight looking like a sphinx. (El) Bend forward, touching the forehead to the ground and chant GURU. (E2) Rise up and chant WHAHE. Continue 3 minutes.
F) Sit in easy pose. (F) Begin to whisper the panj
shabad:
After 2 minutes, chant loudly for 2 minutes.
G) Immediate come on the heels with palms on thighs. Begin flexing the spine and with a powerful whisper chant SA-forward, TA-back, NA-forward, MA-back. (G) Continue for 3 minutes, then meditate.
COM M E N TS:
This kriya is known hy experiencing it. Basiclly the set is a total workout for the thyroid, pituitary, and pineal glands. Your whole body will sweat. Meditation after this kriya brings the realization that we are channels for truth and that "to maintain grace in the most ungraceful moments is the true human worth."
