In Siddha Mahayoga, the doer is replaced by the seer. Shakti precipitates the yoga kriyas necessary for self-purification. Sounds amazing at first. One has to experience it.
The steps given below constitute the Introductory Practice of Siddha Mahayoga:
- Sit in any comfortable position. Relax the body to the maximum, as if it is not there.
- Close the eyes calmly, with deep devotion to the Divine Power. As soon as the eyes are closed, a wave of Prana-Shakti, the driving life current naturally rises up from the base of the backbone to the top of the brain.
- Let the NATURAL inflow or outflow or stoppage of air take place OF ITS OWN. Keep the eyes closed and mutely observe the incoming and outgoing air.Continue for three minutes or more and allow any involuntary happenings that may take place.
Experience it yourself.

Hello Friend:
ReplyDeleteGood to know you will be taking up the simple 3-step practice.
The Hatha Yoga which you have been doing, although not necessary, is a positive aspect. The word Hatha comprises of two seeds "Ha" corresponding to the Surya Nadi and "Tha" corresponding to Chandra Nadi. These two are important nadis from a network of 72000 nadis which constitute our astral body.
Balancing these two main nadis through all the asanas, pranayamas, mudras, bandhas etc. constitute Hatha Yoga which leads to purification related to the body at the gross level and "nadis", "chakras" etc at the subtle level.
All this being beyond the comprehension of the ordinary mind, and full of uncertainty, it is best to leave this work left to our own higher self, the Chaitanya Prana, into which the mind merges via the 3 simple steps.
