** As with all other meditation techniques, practices and procedures described or recommended in this book, Nithya Kriya is suitable for practice only under the direct supervision of Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Further, you should consult with your personal physician to determine whether these techniques, practices and procedures are suitable for you in relation to your own health, fitness and ability. Engage in any of the techniques, practices or procedures at your own risk.
Nithya Kriya is a very powerful spiritual technique, spiritual process and works in three ways:
- 'doing' techniques like āsanas, and prāṇāyāma
- 'non-doing' techniques: just sitting in an unclutched way
- Upaniṣad: neither 'doing' nor 'non-doing', master's presence is working
Nithya Kriya is all three put together and something more. Nithya Kriya is dhyāna-nirvikalpa-upaniṣad put together.
Paramahamsa Nithyananda is teaching one Kriya a day. Each Kriya he is teaching, he is using the whole enlightened consciousness to assemble the Kriya, and using his own body as guinea pig doing every step. He is not only consciously scanning but also consciously practicing. He is seeing all the effects and side effects. Only then he is bringing it to you. He is selecting the practical bits and pieces and then making it available to you.
It will heal you physically immediately and with some feeling connection to the master, it will also awaken your Kundalini energy. Each and every cell of your body is being taught to be immortal.
Furthermore, Paramahamsa Nithyananda is referring to authentic yogic literatures, quoting exact verses for each step in the Kriya. The knowledge is time-tested, foolproof, directly from the source, in its pristine purity. His distinctive contribution, in addition to selecting the techniques and putting it together into Nithya Kriya, is that he experimented it with a modern day body, his own body, and finding out what is working on what part of the body. He conducts research and development on his system. From his experience he is sharing with you.
Now let us move into a Nithya Kriya that will help you drop your engrams. Such a simple Kriya can lead you to such deep unclutching.
Five Steps to follow:
- Padmasana
- Uddiyana Banda
- Jalandhara Banda
- Bastrika
- Unclutching
First Step – Padmasana
Gheranda Samhita | Upadesha 2 | Verse 8 Place the right foot on the left thigh and similarly the left one on the right, also cross the hands behind the back and firmly catch hold of the great toes of the feet so crossed. Place the chin on the chest and fix the gaze on the tip of the nose. This posture is called the Padmasana (or lotus posture).
Second Step – Uddiyana Banda Gheranda Samhita | Upadesha 3 | Verse 10 Pull the upper and lower parts of the navel in towards the spine and up and hold as long as you can!
Third Step – Jalandhara Banda Gheranda Samhita | Upadesha 3 | Verse 12 Along with Uddiyana Banda now add Jalandhara Banda also. Contract the throat. Put your chin on your chest and lock. Fix the gaze on the tip of the nose. Do Jalandhara Banda and Uddiyana Banda 21 times. Hold as long as you can. When you cannot hold, relax.
If you have blood pressure or any other serious illness. Do not do too much. Do it judicially, as much as you are comfortable.
Forth Step – Bastrika Gheranda Samhita | Upadesha 5 | Verses 75- 77 Inhale through both the nostrils lowly, but exhale quickly. Inhale very slowly, when you are full, exhale quickly. You may create the wind making sound like bellows of the ironsmith. Do this 21 times.
Fifth Step – Unclutching Relax. Now just sit and unclutch. You will see intense unclutching happening and you will experience the depth of silence. The engrams will start dropping from you, from this moment. You may feel weightlessness.
