Yogi Bhajan 於1995 年 12 月 5 日教授
1. 以輕鬆坐姿坐好,雙手手肘彎曲,上臂靠著肋骨,前臂向上伸展。掌心向前,手指張開。
手指伸直,略微繃直。保持掌心向前,雙手分別以小弧線向另一隻手移動,然後再回到兩側的起始位置。兩邊拇指不要在中間相觸。
快速移動。閉上眼睛。以每秒三次的進出速度移動。如果動作正確,整個脊椎都會非常有力量地震動。
6分鐘。
結束:吸氣,屏住呼吸10秒鐘,同時握緊拳頭,擠壓全身。
吐氣。重複此動作兩次。
此練習將平衡體內的五大元素能量(tattwas)。促進血液循環,並脊椎中的血清將會循環上升。
2. 以輕鬆坐姿坐好,雙手手肘彎曲,上臂靠著肋骨,前臂指向正前方。
右掌心朝上,左掌心朝下。雙手略微繃直。交替上下十幾二十公分移動前臂。左臂向上移動時,右臂向下移動,以此類推。
這個動作必須夠非常有力量,以至於全身都會顫抖。身體中心應隨著動作左右擺動到幾公分。用力地移動。持續4分鐘。
對於有關節炎傾向的人來說,這個運動可能會有些疼痛,但它可以幫助緩解關節炎症狀。它還有助於消化。
如果動作正確,在練習的最後15秒,你自動會形成一種特殊的呼吸方式。
結束:吸氣,屏住呼吸10-15秒,咬住後臼齒,並收緊下巴。吐氣。重複此動作兩次。
3. 以輕鬆坐姿坐好,雙手手肘彎曲,上臂靠著肋骨,前臂向上。將大拇指放在無名指(太陽指)的指腹上,握拳。
拳頭朝前。
以手肘為支點,將前臂和雙手向胸部中心做小幅度的內旋圓週運動。轉拳頭的同時,向後拉動雙肩,使肩胛骨靠攏,並打開胸腔。然後,在繼續做圓週運動的同時,將雙肩向前放鬆。交替進行向後拉動雙肩以達到最大程度的伸展,然後再向前放鬆雙肩,同時繼續快速地用拳頭做內旋圓週運動。閉上眼睛,快速運動。持續2分鐘。
這個動作可以調整肋骨,並為血液輸送更多氧氣。
最後:深呼吸三次。
4. 坐姿,手肘彎曲,前臂與肩同高。掌心向下。右手掌置於左手掌上方,位於身體中央,雙手間距約10公分。緩慢深呼吸,讓自己平靜下來,放下雜念。讓你的思緒休息。聆聽「Sat Nam Wahe Guru-Indian Version #2」的錄音帶,並冥想你的本質。
4分半鐘後,開始跟著錄音帶輕聲低語吟唱。
用舌尖輕觸上顎。用氣息發出“S”聲。低語吟唱4分半鐘。
結束:緩慢深吸一口氣,發出“S”聲;緩慢深呼氣,發出“S”聲。重複此呼吸兩次。
1. Sit in easy pose with the elbows bent, the upper arms resting alongside the rib cage, and the forearms pointing upward. The palms face forward with the fingers spread.
The fingers are straight and slightly stiff. Keep your palms facing forward as each hand moves in a small arc toward the other and back out to the starting position at the sides. The thumbs do not touch in the center.
Move fast. Close your eyes. Move at the speed of three in-and-out movements per second. The whole spine will move vigorously if you are doing the movement correctly.
6 Minutes.
To finish: Inhale, hold the breath 10 seconds while you make fists of your hands and squeeze your entire body.
Exhale. Repeat this sequence two more times.
This exercise will equalize the tattwas in the body. Your circulation will be stimulated and the serum in your spine will rise.
2. Sit in easy pose with the elbows bent, the upper arms alongside the rib cage, and the forearms pointing straight forward.
The right palm faces upward to the heavens and the left palm faces downward to the earth. The hands are slightly stiff. Move your forearms alternately a few inches up and down. When the left arm moves upward, the right arm moves downward and so on.
This movement must be so powerful that the whole body shakes. The center of the body must move about one inch side to side with the movement. Move vigorously. 4 Minutes.
This exercise may be painful for those who have a tendency toward arthritis, but it can help alleviate that condition. It also aids digestion.
You will develop a special breath for the last 15 seconds of the exercise if you are doing it correctly.
To finish: Inhale, hold the breath 10-15 seconds, lock your back molars and squeeze your jaws. Exhale. Repeat this sequence two more times.
3. Sit in easy pose with your elbows bent, upper arms along rib cage and the forearms pointing upward. Place your thumbs on the mound of the Sun (ring) finger and make fists of your hands.
Your fists face forward.
Moving from the elbow, revolve your lower arms and hands in small inward circles toward the center of your chest. As you revolve your fists
pull your shoulders back so that your shoulder blades come together and your chest is opened up. Then while still making the circles relax your shoulders forward. Alternate pulling the shoulders back for maximum stretch and relaxing them forward as you
continue to make rapid inward circles with your fists. Close your eyes and move fast. 2 Minutes.
This adjusts the ribs and gives more oxygen to the blood.
To finish: Take three long, deep breaths.
4. Sit with your elbows bent and the forearms about shoulder height. The palms face downward. The right palm is over the left at the center of the body with about 4 inches between the hands. Breathe slowly and deeply and become calm and thoughtless. Give a rest to your intellect. Listen to the tape of Sat Nam Wahe Guru-Indian Version #2 and meditate on your essence.
After 4 1/2 Minutes, begin chanting in a whisper along with the tape.
Use the tip of the tongue along the upper palate. Hiss the “S” sound with the force of the breath. Whisper the chant for 4 1/2 minutes.
To finish: Inhale slowly and deeply with a hiss, exhale slowly and deeply with a hiss. Repeat this breath two more times.
