There are three levels of cathartic techniques which are powerful enough to release the samskaras (patterns) which you accumulated in this birth.
The first-level techniques are the cathartic meditation techniques for the muscle-memory, like manipuraka shuddhi kriya, bhastrika pranayama, kapalabhati pranayama, shaambhavi mudra pranayama or heavy samana yoga like weightlifting, intense running and heavy swimming. Even physical activity can be a very powerful catharsis. All these are for the physical layer catharsis.
The second-level technique, the mind-level technique, is samskara dahana kriya, to cleanse the brain's memory engrams. Whatever suffering, incompletion and past pains you are carrying inside, whatever suffocation you are going through, just go on writing them and speaking out, speaking out, speaking out. Samskara dahana kriya should be done at least for 21 days, not just once or twice. It should be done every day like a ritual. By sitting and talking to various people in various situations, various layers will actually open up.
The third-level technique is for cleansing the consciousness. It is nothing but three hours of either reasonless crying or reasonless laughing. In Zen, they use this technique of crying or laughing for no reason. You need guts to tell people to do something which they don't understand logically!
You should do all these things like courses. We should have a 21-day course just for catharsis. Three hours of intense physical activity in the morning, three hours of samskara dahana kriya at noon and three hours of either reasonless crying or reasonless laughing in the evening.
Understand, I am giving you the clear science of catharsis. In the morning, do three hours of the cathartic techniques I described, kapalabhati, bhastrika, manipuraka shuddhi kriya, heavy samana yoga like 108 surya namaskar, heavy weightlifting, swimming, and running; any physical activity. This should be a three-hour session in


the morning, and at noon, three hours of
only samskara dahana kriya. Go on
digging, digging, digging, writing and
talking, talking, talking, talking to
different people. In the evening, just
three hours of reasonless laughing or
reasonless crying. If you laugh you will
start crying, if you cry you will start
laughing.
The first layer will cleanse the muscle memory, the second layer will cleanse the brain's memory engrams, and the third level will cleanse the consciousness. In 21 days, I can promise that any man will have a yogic body and Vedic mind just with these three processes! A very simple process, nine hours a day, nothing else to be done. All other remaining hours he has to just eat and sleep, because the body will become completely tired and may need rest. Nothing else is required. A 21-day catharsis program. In these 21 days, all the engrams which you accumulated from the time of your birth to this moment will be emptied. You will be cleansed.

I can promise at least ten important benefits you will have from this. There will be a release from all addictions, when I say all, I mean all - release from all the trauma you accumulated, release from all the emotional wounds, release from all phobias, release from all tiredness and physical and mental fatigue. Please understand, it may look like too big a promise, but it is the truth. Release from all emotional blockages and all physical diseases which happened because of psychological problems. All the chronic diseases which happened because of psychological disorders will disappear, and you will have the ability to create your body as you want. You will become your own Brahma, with the ability to create your own mind as you want.
I tell you, these three things combined together will be the ultimate catharsis, to be rid of all the past samskaras of this life. This is the ultimate program. I can promise you that any problem, anything you accumulated from the moment you took birth up till this moment, will be completely burnt away. It will disappear from your system. You will be fresh, fresh and alive. You will be like a new being ready to start your life fresh again.
