Victory over the lower self-- the Ego Eradictor
Sit in easy pose with the spine straight and the chin slightly tucked in to lengthen the back of the neck.
The arms are up, forming a victorious V. Keep them straight, strong and long throughout the exercise. The fingers are bent with the fingertips pressing on the pads of the hands, except for the thumbs which stick straight out. The shoulders are slightly pulled back, exposing the heart.
The eyes are closed and gazing upwards and inwards at the third eye.
Now begin a steady Breath of Fire, through the nose, pumping the belly. If you are unsure about how to do Breath of Fire or you have a stuffy nose, stick the tongue all the way out to the chin and pant like a dog.
With this Breath of Fire, you are activating your navel power and igniting the purifying inner fire. By having the arms in this position, you are taking this powerful energy up into the chest, cleaning out the heart and lungs, and strengthening and increasing the energy field around you-- your aura. The straighter your arms, the more energy will be channelled into the aura. The thumbs represent the ego and must stay rigid so that you are also purifying the ego.
Try this for 1 to 3 minutes. Then, inhale through the nose and hold the breath as you bring the thumbtips together overhead and straighten the other fingertips towards the sky, keeping the arms long. Hold the breath in as long as you can, then, keeping the posture, exhale all the breath out of the lungs and hold as long as possible. Then inhale again, hold as long as possible, and finally exhale and very carefully, very consciously bring the arms down at sides, feeling the big, bright, strong field of energy all around you.
More experienced practitioners can add a mulbandh, or root lock, on the inhale and exhale, pulling their energy up throught the spine and fingertips.
The Ego Eradicator will clear out old energy, repetitive thoughts and feelings of depression or lethargy. It is not a permanent solution to your problems-- but it will make you feel light and optimistic, clear-headed and energized. It's a wonderful way to pull yourself out of feeling stuck and hopeless. As with all techniques that transform negative energy, the biggest challenge is finding within yourself that little spark of willingness to actually do them when you're feeling down.
