Swami Saradananda replied to Swami Saradananda's discussion 'Getting your body ready for meditation'

OM - Sorry Kumari, but it is not possible to meditate lying down - you will tend to fall asleep. Better to sit in a straight-backed chair with feet flat on floor, if you cannot sit cross-legged.

Swami Saradananda replied to Swami Saradananda's discussion 'Getting your body ready for meditation'

OM - for stiff shoulders, try Gomukasana - Cow's Head Pose. If you can come to Germany in 25-29 March, I will be teaching an asana intensive in Haus Yoga Vidya, Westerwald that will deal specifically with problems like this.

HRIDAYA MUDRA

Posted on July 31, 2011 at 11:52pm 1 Comment 0 Likes

Bring the tip of your index finger to the root of the thumb. Join the tips of your middle and ring fingers with the tip of the thumb. The little finger remains straight. Place your hands on your knees with the palms upward. Close your eyes and relax your body, keeping it motionless for 25-30 minutes.

The middle and ring fingers relate directly to the meridians connected with the heart. The thumb closes the circuit.

Hridaya mudra may prove very helpful to release pent-up emotion… Continue

Join the tips of your middle and ring fingers to the tip of your thumb. This mudra may help you to eliminate impurities from your body: excreta, urine, sweat. It particularly works with your kidneys, problems with gas in the digestive system, constipation and piles, and diseases related to your mouth, nose, ears and eyes.

Thank you for connecting as a 'friend.' I hope that will be so in the future and that we might meet up somewhere along the way. The nearest to you in London on my UK summer Mantra Workshop tour of the UK was in Westcliffe-on-Sea (Southend). Now I am in Scotland for three workshops up here before my five-day residential near Glastonbury in late July.

Here's to a hopeful meet up one of these days.

Warmly,
Muz (Baba)

Now a days there are many fakes as So called Gurus and Teachrs around, every now and then they are getiing exposed by media ina big way ,so it becomes difficult for normal people to surrender to any one or any teaching.

Spirituality is commercialised in a big way and being used to exploit innocent believers to a big extent by organised institutions and religions.

whom u can trust totally ?

it is better to have faith in our own self first , build it up and March forward slowly to have xperience in spiritual life and slowly learn to surrender to the real traditional knowledge and grow up step by step

I just felt writing this way-pranams
