Heal (Ra Ma Da Sa) by Snatam Kaur from the album Grace

HEALING MANTRA RA MA DA SA

Raa Maa Das Saa, Saa Say So Hung

This is the most powerful healing mantra in the practice of Kundalini Yoga. It can be used to move through physical illness, emotional distress. Each of the first four syllables represent an aspect of the cosmos:

Ra: Sun Ma: Moon Da: Earth Sa: Infinity

Ra Ma Da Sa is like a rare diamond, which connects you with the pure healing energy of the universe. You can instill the health trend in your consciousness by injecting this strong healing vibration into your mind. Then your actions and whole being will obey that thought. In order to change health troubles, we must alter the process of thought that causes us to feel and act in ways that weaken our health. Practicing the following meditation diligently will help you develop the pattern of health.

The first part of the mantra Raa Maa Das Saa expands towards the heavens and infinity. The second part of the mantra Saa Say So Hung brings the healing qualities back down from the heavens to earth and to you.

Sit in easy pose. Tuck your elbows comfortably next to the torso, against the ribs. Rotate the forearms out from each side with the palms flat and facing up, as though you are holding the two ends of a rainbow that arches over your head. Keep the fingers together and the thumbs spread out from the palms. Place an image or awareness of the person or situation requiring healing directly above the centre of the top of your head, and imagine a ray of light creating an arch from palm to palm, passing through the image overhead.

Close the meditation by inhaling deeply and holding your breath as your visualize the person or situation you wish to heal being totally healthy, radiant, strong, and completely engulfed in white light. Exhale, inhale again, hold the breath and offer your thoughts again. After your final exhale, lift your arms up high and vigorously shake your hands and fingers.

HAR - Kundalini Mantra for prosperity and personal power

HAR

HAR is for prosperity and personal power. HAR is the Creative Aspect of Infinity.

Kundalini Yoga Mantras

Mantra is the creative process of the mind through sound. The Mantras used in your Kundalini
 Yoga practice have been designed to elevate or modify consciousness through their meaning and
 rhythmical repetition.

It is beneficial to link a mantra to the breath. This technique helps focus the 
mind and strengthen the endurance during challenging exercises.

Chant or mentally chant the mantra for 11 minutes, with or without special hand or body position.

Use the power of mantra to bring financial abundance into your life. You can chant the mantra, repeat it silently, or listen to it. Chant it out loud while you drive. Repeat it silently while waiting for your doctor’s appointment. Play it softly as ambient noise while you sleep, accessing your subconscious. Make mantra a habit in your normal, daily life. It will quickly become automatic and you will train your brain to have a habit of success. The energy of the sacred words will reverberate and fill your space, making it a money-attracting vortex.

To blow away the January blues ... try Pranayama breathing

SOLAR AND LUNAR BREATHING

Background:

Prana – this subtle energy flows in either Ida or Pingala channels. Our energy system is usual more active in either the left or right sides, which are Ida or Pingala. Of the thousands of energy channels or (nadis), three are the most important: Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna (central channel and the most important).

Solar and lunar breaths: The breath and the underlying energy, or Prana, usually flow predominantly on one side or other, the left or the right. Breath predominantly in the left nostril is described as cool, and sometimes referred to as feminine. The flow of Prana on the left is the lunar, and is called Ida. Breath flowing predominantly in the right nostril is described as hot, and sometimes referred to as masculine. The flow of Prana on the right is the solar, and is called Pingala.

Nostril dominance shifts: Usually we believe that we are breathing through both nostrils, although breath is normally dominant in one or the other. The dominance shifts from time to time during the day. For one with a well balanced body and mind, that shift of nostril dominance happens approximately once in ninety minutes. For other people, the shift may be much different. Sometimes one can be so off balance that one nostril remains dominant, which is a symptom of some physical, mental, or emotional difficulties.

Alternate nostril breathing

LUNAR BREATH

Position: raise the left hand as if making an oath – join the ring finger and thumb together. Raise the right hand stretch out the index finger and place it against the right nostril and then equally breathe in and out through the left nostril for about 4 minutes. Gently at first and stay with it as gradually the nostril will clear. Then breathe in – hold and interlace the fingers in front of the face – try and pull apart then exhale – do this three times.

Then to balance both sides start …

SOLAR BREATH

Position: raise the left hand and with the left thumb place it on the left nostril with the fingers pointing upwards. Place the right hand on the knee in Chin Mudhra (thumb and index finger joined together). Breathe through the right nostril co-ordinating it with the pumping action of the abdomen. Go gently at first and do this for about 2 minutes. Relax afterwards placing the hands on the lap and breathe normally – notice the quality of the breath. Stay for a minute or so and look through the third eye.

Benefits:

Lunar breath creates abundant white blood cells, which are responsible for guarding the body against unwanted viruses (ie colds). Our fear, shame, anger, frustrations and guilt are destructive emotions, which lead us to depression. They prevent the immune system from working properly. Lunar Breath heals the immune system by clearing out these unhealthy energies and restores vibrancy and positivity.

Breathing through the right nostril (Solar Breath) stimulates the Sun Energy making you more extrovert, enthusiastic. This breath keeps body weight down and aids digestions, giving you clarity of thought, making you more analytical and action orientated.
