Nitya Dhyān - Everyday Meditation for Bliss🔗

There are some meditation techniques that are specific for specific times and people, and there are a few that are universal. Nitya Dhyān is the meditation for the seeker of today. It is the cyber age meditation.

First I would like to tell about how this meditation technique Nitya Dhyān happened. Up to the age of 11, I experimented with numerous meditation techniques. At the age of 12, I had the deep spiritual experience of enlightenment. From 12 to 21 years, I consciously scanned and analyzed the benefits of several techniques. For three years after the realization of the purpose of my incarnation, I worked on creating a sound technology to reproduce this experience of enlightenment in others. The essence of this entire inner world research I have done to date is formulated in the Nitya Dhyān meditation technique.

Nitya Dhyān is a formula and a technique that works on the entire being to transform it and make it ready for the ultimate experience of enlightenment. Each segment of this unique technique complements the other steps to help raise the individual consciousness. It is an everyday meditation for eternal bliss - nitya ānandā.

To understand this Nitya Dhyān technique, we first need to understand a little about the cakra or subtle energy centers. Working on the seven cakra is like awakening new channels of energy. It is like tuning to a new channel on television.

There are seven energy centers in us, each center associated with a particular emotion. The seven emotions are lust, fear, worry, attention-need, jealousy, ego and discontent. Currently, man can think only based on these seven emotions. His body itself moves only due to the utility of any one of these emotions. Some people will move because of desire, lust or touch. For some, only fear will move them. There is nothing wrong in being driven by emotions such as desire. But you should experience the other higher dimensions like love as well. You should understand that it is possible to function out of sheer energy, not just out of these emotions.

By awakening the cakra, you will be released from the mental setup of these emotions. You will start working as a free being. If you are liberated from such mental setups, only then you will understand the value of the freedom.

For example, if you are liberated from a particular cakra, say the cakra associated with jealousy, you will experience a new world in that dimension, a jealousy-free world! On whatever identity your personality is now standing, on whatever idea your life is now standing, that identity or idea will just melt. You will experience a new energy altogether.

For example, if you suddenly get interested in the share market business, you start collecting updates from television, magazines, people etc about the share market. After a month or so, you start feeling that the whole world is becoming more aware of the share market. You feel more surrounded by people related to the share market. It is not that the world has changed, it is your perspective that has changed. When you shift your energy center, you will start gathering such kind of people around you.

If you shift your energy center, you can change the world that you see. In Hindu mythology, they say there are seven worlds. This is what they actually refer to - the seven emotions that decide how you see the world.

This is a five-step technique, each step taking seven minutes.

Duration: 7 minutes

Sit in vajrāsana (sitting with the knees folded and your feet tucked under, with the bottom resting on the heels). Normally in our body, the energy flows from the sahasrāra cakra (crown center) to the mūlādhāra cakra (root center). Vajrāsana posture helps reverse this flow and supports the upward movement of energy.

Sit with eyes closed, hands on your hips, and breathe chaotically. Inhale and exhale deeply and chaotically, without a particular rhythm. Just focus on the breathing. Your entire being should become the breathing. Use your whole body to breathe chaotically. Your whole body should move.

This first part is very physical. Sitting in vajrāsana and inhaling and exhaling chaotically will heal many physical and mental problems. You will see that if you have any digestion problem, it will be completely healed. When the body intensity is heightened, you will have a beautiful digestion system.

This first part of Nitya Dhyān is for creating a healthy body.

An important thing you need to understand is that the quality of breathing changes depending on the state of your mind. Your emotions have an impact on the breathing process. When you are in anxiety, your breathing changess. When you are angry, your breathing changes. When you are in tension, if you take a deep breath, suddenly you feel light, more relaxed and the tension is released.

The breath and mind are inter-related. Changing one automatically changes the other. Emotions may not be in our hands, but our breathing is. If we control our breathing or bring about some change in our breathing pattern, we will directly impact our emotions and state of mind.

We tend to breathe in a fixed pattern. Our past samskāra, past memories locked in our unconscious zone, create a particular type of breathing pattern in our system. As a result, we attract similar emotions and samskāra to ourselves. We get into a vicious cycle where our past samskāra create our breathing pattern and the breathing pattern in turn, attracts similar samskāra and incidents to us in the future. This vicious cycle has to be broken.

Nitya Dhyān begins with chaotic breathing. Since the breathing is chaotic, it has no fixed pattern or rhythm. The pattern of the mind that forms its existence and expression is broken. Thoughts cannot follow the pattern they have been following for so many years.

Our muscles store all our past memories in the form of energy bio-memories. The deep chaotic breathing will start releasing the tension in the muscles, and these engraved memory patterns in the muscles and body parts will start getting expelled. Our muscles are normally under stress. Chaotic breathing will loosen the muscles and start clearing the engraved memories.

Each emotion within us gives rise to a particular breathing pattern. You might have seen that children breathe deeply and blissfully. But as they grow, they are conditioned by society, picking up from society the perceptions of pain, pleasure, guilt, beliefs, etc. Then the quality of the breathing changes totally. In order to shake this pattern which has been created due to the habitually suppressed emotions, we have to insert chaos. Inserting another pattern is not the solution.

You have to create utter chaos in your system to dig out all the past impressions. So don't follow any rhythmic breathing pattern like prāṇāyāma in this meditation. Just breathe chaotically. This chaotic breathing will destroy the emotional attachment to all your past memories. It is like shaking a tree that is full of dead leaves. All the dead leaves will fall down. Chaotic breathing is like shaking your suppressed system. All the past engraved memories will be released.

Deep chaotic breathing also infuses tremendous oxygen and releases carbon dioxide from the body. It creates hyperventilation and as a result you feel more vibrant and fresh. Through increased intake of oxygen in the blood, automatically more bio-energy is generated in the cells and all aspects of the body come alive. The bio-energy that is generated will start clearing the samskāra, leaving you feeling light, energetic and blissful.

Duration: 7 minutes

Continue to sit in vajrāsana, form cin mudrā with your fingers where the tips of the forefinger and thumb touch each other, and place your hands on your knees, palms facing upwards.

In this posture, with your mouth closed and lips together, produce a humming sound as intensely as possible, as loudly as possible and as lengthily as possible.

Produce the sound 'mmmm...' from within your body. If you were to put your face inside an empty aluminum vessel and make a humming sound, the sound generated will be similar to this. Note that this is not 'humm...' or 'omm...', it is simply keeping your lips together and producing 'mmm...' sound. The humming should be as lengthy as possible between breaths. It should be as deep as possible (from the navel center) and as loud as possible. There is no need to make an effort to take in deep breaths. The body itself will take the correct amount of breath when needed.

Put your complete awareness on the humming. Become the humming. There is continuous talking going on within the mind. This continuous talk is what we call inner chatter. Humming is an excellent technique to reduce this inner chatter. Inner chatter is nothing but the flow of independent thoughts continually happening in us. Humming lets you feel your body as energy. The moment you start humming, you start feeling light, as if you are floating. You don't feel the heaviness in the body because humming matches the vibrations of the mind with the vibrations of the body. You start experiencing yourself as energy.

Don't become tense. Just do it in a relaxed manner. Immerse your whole being and energy into creating this vibration. Try to minimize the gap between the humming sounds. After some time, you will feel that the humming continues without your effort and that you have simply become a listener! The body and the mind start resonating with the humming vibrations.

The humming will create a healthy inner chatter and a healthy heightened emotional awareness.

Duration: 7 minutes

Continue to sit in vajrâsana or sit cross-legged if you wish. Keep your fingers in cin mudrā. Now take your awareness to each cakra (energy center) starting from the mūlādhāra cakra (root center) to the sahasrāra cakra (crown center). While taking your awareness to a specific energy center, you should become that energy center. Feel the energy center completely as if your whole being has become that energy center.

Each of these seven energy centers is associated with a specific emotion in our being. Kirlian photography has captured these cakra and proven their existence at the energy level. These emotions themselves are a result of the engraved memories accumulated in the past. The memories pull us to react in the same old ways to situations and people, and that reaction is what is called emotion. The rising emotions block the particular energy center, causing physical and mental disturbances. So in this step we focus our complete awareness on each energy center, starting from the base of the spine and moving to the crown. When we flood anything with awareness, the negativity in it dissolves. This is true for physical pain as well. If there is pain in one part of our body, if we flood that part with awareness, we will see that the pain shrinks to a point and disappears!

Flood each of the seven energy centers with full awareness for a minute each. Feel that only that particular center exists in the whole world and that there is nothing else. Just become that energy center. Feel the energy center completely as if your whole being has become that energy center. Then move to the next center. At the end of this step you will feel completely energized with positivity and lightness.

By the time you come up to the higher and higher centers, your livingness, intensity also will rise. This visualization helps to create a healthy mind, healthy thoughts and heightened emotional awareness. At the end of this step you will feel energized and light.

Also, if you concentrate on the energy centers, your mind will not wander as easily. It will just settle down because these are living energy centers. If you try to concentrate on some other part of the body, your mind can wander easily.

Duration: 7 minutes

In this step, carry the understanding with you that your thoughts are unconnected, irrational and unclutched. Even if you have thoughts, neither try to suppress them nor try to react to them. Just watch them with the understanding that they are illogical and unconnected. Automatically, the witnessing consciousness will start happening in you.

Understand that whether you realize it or not, accept it or not, you are already enlightened. By your very nature you are unclutched. Sit silently and experience the unclutched state, the state of pure being and bliss. This is the ultimate technique to experience the state of enlightenment.

Duration: 7 minutes

We end Nitya Dhyān by connecting ourselves to the cosmic energy. In this step, we relax and rest into the cosmic energy.

Just sit in a relaxed way, feeling connected to the whole cosmos. If you have love for your master, or love for some god, sit in a very deep and passive way, feeling connected to that master or god, that's all. Just relax and settle down.

Feel sincerely gratitude to Existence and to the master for bestowing this great wisdom which liberates us from ignorance and helps us attain the state of nityānanda - eternal bliss.

Practice this meditation technique once a day and you will start experiencing a new dimension of your being. Nitya Dhyān will prepare your body and mind to experience the state of pure consciousness and bliss.
