SELF-HEALING
The constant flow of energy happens continuously in your body through the 72,000 subtle energy channels called na-dis, 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 ho-tline to the infinite cosmic energy source. Once awak-ened by appropriate yogic practices and the guid-ance 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 fall-ing away of negative mental patterns, true inner fulfill-ment, 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 diseas-es, 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 kri-yas, 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 cir-cuit 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. Kumbha-ka, pranayama. It is like different chemicals. Separate-ly, they may take ten years to cure a disease or dis-turbance. Mixed properly in certain combinations, they remove the disease in a short amount of time.
Nithya Kriyas involve the combination of these compo-nents: Yoga asanas, Kumbhaka, Pranayamas, Visualization

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-me-chanical 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 kumbhak-as 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.
