Just like blood flow, breathing flow, and thought flow, you have something called energy flow continuously happening in you. If there is a disturbance in this energy circulation or energy flow, in some part like the heart, kidneys, liver or any other part, you start developing diseases, disorders, and disturbances. Diseases, disorders, and disturbances express in different ways in you. That is why I have formulated Nithya Kriyas for 108 common disorders, drawing from the ancient yogic texts as well as my own yoga experience. When a body has power, stamina, flexibility, physique and energy, I call it a yogic body.
Nithya Kriyas have seven ingredients: asana, pranayama, kumbhaka, verbalization (chanting mantras internally), visualization, Shiva tandava karanas and modern-day weight-lifting. I have worked on creating a yogic body and Vedic mind, using all these seven put together.
Nithya Kriyas are not just a combination of ordinary asanas, yoga postures, kumbhakas and pranayama. For example, if you take two different kumbhakas separately, it may remove the disease, but that could take years. But when all these are done in proper combination, it may remove the disease in just a few days!
For example, if your body is put in a certain position (asana), a particular energy blockage gets removed. The energy circulation in that system properly aligns the plumbing. After the kumbhaka starts pumping energy into the circuit, the wiring gets properly aligned.
Asana helps the blockage to be removed, and the circuit becomes perfect. But only through the kumbhaka, the energy gets pumped into the circuit. This is exactly the principle on which kriya works. If the energy circuit is aligned and energy is pumped through it even for a few seconds, you are out of the disorder. You are free.
