Nithya Kriyas are a series of yogic healing processes revealed by THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM with the aim of curing and providing preventive care for various physical and mental ailments. Cure and (preventive) Care Nithya Kriyas work respectively for each condition or disorder. Even though desired result might be experienced within a few days of practicing, all Nithya Kriyas are to be practiced for 21 days consecutive. They are unique in that, while the knowledge and techniques are drawn from the most authentic and sacred yogic scriptures of Bharat, the specific combinations are expressed from the personal experiences of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, from his personal research, development, and training under powerful yogis and gurus.

Difficult to find in modern yogic textbooks, the Nithya Kriyas preserve and deliver the original yogic practices which are born out of millennia of research and development and are the contribution of innumerable enlightened yogis who have dedicated their lives to enriching the world with this science. According to the teaching methods laid out by legendary yogis like Gorakhnath and Matsyendranath, the individual asanas and pranayama techniques are sacred and must not be tampered with, and the combinations of techniques required to produce the desired effect are to be received by the learner from his personal guru (Hatha Yoga Pradipika). True to Vedic culture, these fathers of modern yoga have left the door wide open for the continuous updating of this ancient science.

The constant flow of energy happens continuously in your body through the 72,000 subtle energy channels called nadis, making up the energy circuit of the body. This circuit is governed by the kundalini energy. Kundalini energy is the immense potential energy present in each of us that acts like a water pump and helps complete this energy circuit.

Kundalini can be thought of as every individual's hotline to the infinite cosmic energy source. Once awakened by appropriate yogic practices and the guidance and grace of the guru, Kundalini showers a host of blessings on the practitioner, including a big boost in energy levels, physical well-being, the falling away of negative mental patterns, true inner fulfillment, and a deep connection to the universal Source.

If there is a disturbance in the energy flow in some part of the body, there is impedance to the energy flow to the rest of the body, resulting in the onset of diseases, disorders, and disturbances in the affected organs.

Nithya Kriyas are powerful tools which help remove these energy blockages restoring the life energy flow. When the body is aligned in certain postures during the kriyas, the energy block is removed and the "wiring" of the circuit or the "plumbing" is re-aligned. Once the block is removed, kundalini energy gets pumped into the circuit during the kumbhaka part of the pranayama. When energy flow is re-established, the disease or disturbance is healed. It is like a plumbing system. It is like the drain pipe where the water once again gushes forth merrily when the blockage or disturbance in the pipe is removed.

These kriyas are not just ordinary asanas. Kumbhaka, pranayama. It is like different chemicals. Separately, they may take ten years to cure a disease or disturbance. Mixed properly in certain combinations, they remove the disease in a short amount of time.

Nithya Kriyas involve the combination of these components: Yoga asanas, Kumbhaka, Pranayamas, Visualization

External verbalization - extenal sound you are hearing or chanting.

Internal verbalization - internally hearing of sound or mantra.

The healing achieved by Nithya Kriyas is permanent as it works on the cellular bio-memory level. It generates natural steroids and therefore has no negative side effects. Besides healing, the Nithya Kriyas have a powerful permanent effect on brain functioning, both on the mechanical and non-mechanical parts of the brain. The mechanical parts of the brain constitute a relatively small percentage of the brain and are responsible for our day to day bodily functions like digestion, respiration, walking, sitting, etc. The kumbhakas also awaken the non-mechanical, untapped parts of the brain that are responsible for the manifestation of many extraordinary extrasensory powers. The body naturally experiences the peak conscious coherence, joy and bliss.

Nithya Kriya is soundly anchored in the sacred yoga scriptures, including the legendary Patañjali Yoga Sūtras, as well as the three classic texts that form the base of yoga - Hatha Yoga Pradīpikā, Gheranda Samhita and Shiva Samhita.

The Patañjali Yoga Sūtras is the foundational text of yoga, written by the father of yoga, the enlightened sage Patañjali. This esoteric yet highly practical text is based on Sankhya Yoga. It is said to date back to the 2nd century BC, although it is believed to be far more ancient. Patañjali Yoga Sūtras emphasize the value of yoga as a lifestyle through ashtanga yoga (8-limbed yoga).

This is a classic 15th century Sanskrit Hatha Yoga text, written by Swami Svātmārāma, a disciple of Swami Gorakhnath. The book is dedicated to Adinatha or Lord Shiva, who is said to have revealed the secrets of Hatha Yoga to his divine consort Devi Parvati. Hatha Yoga Pradīpikā contains four major upadesha as (teachings), which reveal the correct understanding and practice of asanas, pranayama, chakras, bandhas, kriyas, shakti, nadis, mudras and kundalini.

This is also a classic Sanskrit Hatha Yoga text. It is a practical yoga manual said to have been taught by the sage Gheranda to ChandaKapali. Gheranda Samhita text has 7 chapters. It advocates a sevenfold yoga - shatkarma, asana, pranayama, mudra ,pratyahara, dhyana, and samadhi with a chapter dealing with each one.

This is a classic Sanskrit text where Lord Shiva addresses Parvati his consort. There are 5 chapters which deal with yogic philosophy, techniques for liberation, kundalini, pranayama, asanas, mudras, bandhas, and meditation, and the role of a guru. The book mentions 84 beneficial asanas but describes only four of them.

The other texts that Nithya Kriya draws from include the Kumbhaka Paddhati of Raghuvira, Trisikhibrahmanopanishad, Yogakundalay Upanishad, Yoga Chudamani Upanishad and Yoga Taravali, JogaPradipika, Yogasana Mala Sachitra, among others.

Completion is the state of being where no negative events, emotions, thought patterns or behaviors from the past can have a hold over us in the present or future. For example, people who have a deep victim mentality frequently suffer from pain in the back of the head. Their incompletions will manifest as an illness or a disease in their physical body. This can only be resolved by completing with it.

Once an incompletion is discovered, it can be completed. The simple declaration that it will no longer be a part of the cognition can complete that incompletion for us. These patterns of thinking, rooted in negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be completed by reliving. When it comes to completing with past pain patterns, or Samskaras, reliving is relieving.

"Reliving your past, with a new understanding, deciding not to repeat past mistakes, incompletions and patterns again in future is completion." – THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

Mahadeva has defined completion, in this twenty-second technique in Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, which is part of the Shiva Sutras. Vijnana Bhairava in Shiva Sutra verse 22nd – definition of completion:

"Look at your past, dis-identified. Let attention be at the place where you are seeing some past happening and even your form having lost its present characteristics is transformed" – translation by THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

Addressing any issue in the gastrointestinal tract with the Nithya Kriyas will ultimately lead to an overall health in your body-mind and being. Resulting in not only improvement and possible cure, but in a new perspective of the infinite possibilities available in our life!

"When we experience internal chemical balance, hormonal equilibrium again and again, we create the alchemical shift to a physical state which embraces divine consciousness. This cleansing of our bio-memories -- establishing a "clean stomach" -- raises us into the zone of enlightenment."

• THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM -

We have all experienced forms of (mental) stress in the form of negative emotions, frequently brought on by patterns of negative thinking. There are different states of mental wellness and mental disorders, but every one of us has experienced some form of psychological stress (disease), brought on by triggers that may be as trivial as having to rush for a deadline to something as major as losing a loved one.

According to the American Psychiatric Association, a mental disorder is defined as: 1 a behavioral or psychological syndrome or pattern that occurs in an individual, 2 that reflects an underlying psychobiological dysfunction, 3 the consequences of which are clinically significant distress (e.g., a painful symptom) or disability (i.e., impairment in one or more important areas of functioning), 4 must not be merely an expectable response to common stressors and losses (for example, the loss of a loved one) or a culturally sanctioned response to a particular event (for example, trance states in religious rituals), 5 that is not primarily a result of social deviance or conflicts with society.

One in four people will experience some kind of mental health problem within the course of a year, according to the Mental Health Foundation. Though women are more likely to be treated for mental health problems, this does not mean that women experience more mental health problems than men. Interestingly, the WHO states that 'between 76% and 85% of people with severe mental disorders receive no treatment for their disorder in low-income and middle-income countries; the corresponding range for high income countries is also high: between 35% and 50%'.

'All emotions, both good and bad, are nothing but the effect of the engraved memories or samskaras which we have accumulated from the past. When you are carrying too many negative samskaras, naturally the energy flow in the body will not be smooth. In particular, samskaras block the energy hubs or chakras, causing physical and mental disturbances.' THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

This booklet contains techniques to aid you in coping with, or the recovery from neurological conditions. These Nithya Kriyas are a series of healing yogic processes revealed by renowned yogi and guru,THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. The techniques are based in sacred yoga scriptures including the legendary Patañjali Yoga Sūtras, as well as the three classic texts that form the base of yoga: Hatha Yoga Pradīpikā, Gheranda Samhita and Shiva Samhita.

According to yogic knowledge the cause of mental disease, such as anxiety and depression, is frequently of a mental nature, directly or indirectly. In many of his discourses THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM teaches that mental suffering such as fear and depression, are rooted deeply into our biomemory and cause health problems and diseases by lowering the immune system. The process of completion* with past

pain patterns is essential to overcoming the root causes for these diseases. When worry becomes a habit it can affect any part of the body, causing a number of psychosomatic diseases. This subtle interplay between the body and mind is why it is so important that worry be addressed and removed from the system.

If an emotion is handled properly the corresponding chakra (energy hub in the body) functions well, expanding it to the size of even a cartwheel! If the emotion is not handled properly the corresponding chakra shrinks to the size of even a coat button, which causes low energy in the system. This low energy ultimately manifests as disease in the mind-body system. Several factors including childhood problems, societal conditioning, improper habits, physical and emotional injuries, or even just lack of attention affect the energy flow through the chakras.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood disorder that can last until adulthood. People with ADHD are known to engage themselves in excessive activity and may have difficulty paying attention. Signs of hyperactivity include an inability to sit still, excessive talking and impulsivity. In addition, hyperactive people generally rely on constant engagement with some activity to keep them occupied. The attention deficit component is punctuated by forgetfulness, being easily distracted, and difficulty paying attention and focusing on one thing. Someone with ADHD can show any combination of the signs.

Signs of ADHD are normally recognized at a young age often before a child starts school. Parents and teachers often label the child as difficult to deal with. Children often act out of defiance and may have a quick temper or other behavioral problems. ADHD also leads to intense interpersonal problems and frequently leads to other psychological disorders over time.

Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depressive disorder, includes periods of extreme elation alternating with major depressive episodes, with each episode lasting at least a week. Manic episodes involve feelings of grandeur, expansiveness, impulsivity, and energy to the extreme that it interferes with day to day functions and activities. During manic states, the bipolar individual may be inclined to act out of impulse, thereby affecting their ability to make decisions out of sound judgment. Major depressive episodes involve an extreme negative outlook on life, fatigue, diminished interest in daily activities and change in weight and sleep patterns. Symptoms often interfere with quality of life and cause significant distress and thoughts of suicide.

In this 2-day intensive program, we learn to apply the techniques from the essence of all spiritual wisdom: the four sacred principles that reveal the secrets of life and death. Not adapting these principles in our life is the root of all conflicts we face with life.

Through this program, you will be initiated into these four principles and learn powerful techniques to overcome:

• Any kind of fear, especially fear of death
• Unconscious conflicting desires
• Guilt due to social conditioning
• Past traumas and pains and
• Live your life at its peak!

Have you wondered why the experience we receive from life is always the same, no matter how much we strive to alter it? Our endeavors to find happiness, success and better relation- ships may yield varied results, but at the end we are almost always left with the feeling that nothing has changed. The reason for this limited experience of life is the behavioral patterns, which are deeply engraved in us. Each pattern is associated with one of the seven major energy centers (chakras) in our system, which subtly influences our emotional behavior. In this intensive 2-day workshop, we learn to apply the four sacred principles of blissful living (integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching), to heal our chakras and go beyond the influence of these limiting behavioral patterns.
