Chapter 8: Nithya Dhyaan🔗

Relax, Rejuvenate, Radiate...

(Up to the age of 11, Paramahamsa Nithyananda subjected himself to numerous meditation techniques. At the age of 12, he had his first deep spiritual experience. From 12 to 21 years of age, he consciously scanned and analyzed the benefits of several techniques. For three years after his enlightenment, he created and perfected a sound technology to reproduce his experience of enlightenment in others. He launched his worldwide mission in 2003 and has been working continuously with millions of people, offering healing and meditation guidance. The essence of this entire inner world research to date is formulated in the Nithya Dhyaan meditation technique.

Nithya Dhyaan 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 - Nithya Ananda.

All initiated Nithya Spiritual Healers should do Nithya Dhyaan meditation everyday.) breathing or bring about some change in our breathing pattern, it will directly have an impact on our emotions and our state of mind.

We tend to breathe in a fixed pattern. Our past samskaras, 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 samskaras. We get into a vicious cycle where our past samskaras create our breathing pattern and the breathing pattern in turn, attracts similar samskaras and incidents in the future. This vicious cycle has to be broken.

Nithya Dhyaan begins with chaotic breathing. Since the breathing is chaotic, it has no fixed pattern or rhythm. The mind is not in control since you are breaking the very pattern that forms its existence and expression. Thoughts cannot follow the pattern they have been following so long for so many years.

You have to breathe as deeply as possible and as chaotically as possible. Your entire being should become the breathing. Understand that the breathing has to be deep. The chaotic breathing should not be shallow. Our muscles store all of our past memories in the form of energy bio-memories. The deep chaotic breathing will start releasing the tension in the muscles and engraved memory patterns in your muscles and body parts. Normally our muscles are always under stress. Chaotic breathing will loosen the muscles and start clearing the samskaras.

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,

Continue to sit in vajrasana, form chin mudra with your fingers, 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 breaths when needed.

Put your complete awareness on the humming. Become the humming. Continuously there is talking going on within your mind. Humming is an excellent technique to reduce this inner chatter. 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.

Continue to sit in vajrasana or sit cross-legged if you wish. Keep your fingers in chin mudra. Now take your awareness to each chakra (energy center) starting from the muladhara chakra (root center) to the sahasrara chakra (crown center). These seven energy centers are associated with particular emotions in our being.

These emotions are a result of the engraved memories or samskaras which we have accumulated in the past. These samskaras block the particular energy center, causing physical and mental disturbances. So in this step we put our complete awareness on each energy center, starting from the base of the spine and moving to the crown. You should become that energy center when you are asked to put your awareness on each energy center. Feel the energy center completely as if your whole being has become that energy center. At the end of this step you will feel energized and light.

Let me explain the science and concept of being unclutched.

Mind is nothing but a collection of thoughts, one thought after the other, coming in succession. By our very nature, our thoughts are unconnected. They are like bubbles in a fish tank.

| Wherever the mind dwells, casting that aside that very moment, the mind becomes supportless, and free from disturbance. |

| --- |

We have two types of identities. One is the identity that we show to the outer world, and the other is the identity that we experience in the inner world, what we think of ourselves. The identity that we show to the outer world is called ahankar. The identity which we show to the inner world is called mamakar. Both these identities are in constant conflict with each other. The identity which we project to the outer world is always more than what we actually are. The identity which we project to ourselves is always less than what we actually are.

Both these identities are false identities. They are a result of the shaft that we create. They don't exist in reality. As long as we are associating with these identities, we are caught up in samsara (worldly activities). Once we go beyond these two identities, we become enlightened.

All the time we are creating, sustaining and destroying thoughts. The process of creation (Brahma), sustenance (Vishnu) and destruction (Shiva) is constantly going on. When we stop creating, sustaining and destroying, we go beyond all three and reach the state of Parabrahman (Supreme Self).

In this step, carry this 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 unclutched. Automatically, the witnessing consciousness will start happening in you; you will go beyond the two identities.

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

2. I am an agent for healthcare products. In November 2002, I felt giddy and was admitted to Salem Gokulam Hospital. It came as a terrible shock when I was diagnosed with brain hemorrhage. My wife contacted Sri Nithyananda Swami. He promised my wife, 'Just keep your confidence up. I'll take care of him.'

The same day, I was shifted to Sri Ramachandra multi-specialty hospital. Even then the doctors said that since I was in the fifth stage of coma, there was very little hope of recovery. Swamiji came immediately to the hospital and gave me courage and healing. In 12 hours, I amazed the doctors with an unexpected improvement. Later the doctors performed open surgery and corrected the hemorrhage. These operations are successful, only rarely, but in my case the operation was successful.

Swamiji flew from Bangalore to Chennai everyday just to give me healing. This went on for ten days. Now I am perfectly fine. My recovery can be termed a medical miracle. I salute Swami Nithyananda for giving me this new birth! -Mr. K. Anbalagan, 39 years, Tamil Nadu

3. I suffered from allergic rhinitis and sinusitis for 12 years. It is a well-known fact that there is no permanent cure like ayurveda, homeopathy, allopathy, Kotaikal etc., but could relieve myself of this problem only for a short period. Only a miracle could cure me permanently of these ailments and that miracle did happen to me in the form of Swamiji who cured me through healing and meditation. I met him for the first time on the occasion of pada pooja (worship of the holy feet of the Master). I started taking the treatment of healing and meditated regularly for about 15 days.

I am now a fit person who is able to do all sorts of work, be it lifting heavy things or taking a long morning walk, which I was unable to do before. This healing and meditation has made my health good and my mind strong. I can proudly say that I am now one among the healers who can help people come out of their ailments. I am very thankful to our Swamiji whom I regard as God.

-Mrs. Meenal Ramanathan, 50 years

6. I am very grateful to Swamiji for curing me of the ailment of right hand and right thigh pain. I suffered this pain for nearly one and half months and am now cured fully after taking the healing for 21 days.
