(?) thirty fourth birthday. Bottles of spirit of GRD, only with spirit or there will be oil in it?

(Students laugh.)

YB: Uh?

Bottles of spirit of GRD oil will be given out after class.

Well, well, well. Oh, this one.

I'll have a personal request. Bottles are being given to you and is being in celebration, please have it. That's not my problem. My personal invite is do not take more than five drops, doesn't matter what the circumstances are. It is a potent stuff.

"Happy Birthday," whose birthday is this? Can the person stand up in the line? It is you?

(Students laugh.)

YB: Very well.

You have been good. Ah.

What we are going to do tonight is something different or something classic, doesn't matter.

The fact is, we live in country called United States. It consists of fifty states. It has all sorts of people from all over the world, it's a melting pot, it's a variety of people. Different cultures, all melted and in the last two hundred and some years, we have become United States. Similarly from last seventy years, Russia became Soviet Union, and there were fifteen Republics and today there is no Soviet Union. We pray that there should be United States in the coming seven years. There is no way that country can brundle and not bundle optimistics, but brundle the mistakes, and survive economically. Economics may not mean anything to you and I have met many people, who say, "What is money?" But you know one thing? When the economy of the country is overstretched, it start putting pressure. And when a country like United State in nineteen ninety two, bring the level of rate of interest to four and a half percent, we are all very stupid to understand that this is real. It is not. All over the world the rate of interest is fifteen to twenty percent. We have brought it down to stimulate the economy. I know B12 is a very fine stimulant but how many injection a dead man can have to keep walking?

(Students laugh.)

Ah, economy will have pressure on bankings. It will have pressure on businesses, it shall have pressure on workload, it shall have pressure all-around. And those pressures indirectly and directly will deal with individuals and individuals have to deal with themself. There is no way out. And to be very frank with you, I read my nineteen seventy two notes, I gave a lecture in New York in that famous park, I taught a class and I said these are the possibility in the near future. Normally when a man like me speaks, at that moment people do not listen and if they listen, they don't mind because we make so many predictions and it's a kind of God speaks from Heaven. Because Judeo-Christian society is based on this God speaks from heaven and people listen downstairs and so everybody has become God here in this country many times and fortunately my theory is very different than every people.

I feel that I am not a holy man, I am not a good man, I am not a bad man, I am not a real man, I don't care what you call me or doesn't mean what it is. God has given me figure of a man and all I want to be just a man. And I think that's the highest Divinity I am practicing. I mean to say, for my actions I may be anything, I am a head of the religion, that happens to be by action, somebody call me stupid, that happened by my action. It's all actions. But the basic fundamental for everybody is, if one is a man he should be man. And if he can work on himself and he can be a graceful man. If you are a woman all you can do is be a woman. And if you just work harder, you can be graceful woman. Beyond that all is a gimmick. I have never believed in it. Actually I used to make mockery of everything. I feel in my heart, not according to my scripture, if I have to speak in a GurdwaraGurdwara Literally the door of the Guru; traditional place where Sikh worship services are held. , I will speak differently. I wanted to tell you right now. But in a Yoga class I don't mind.

I believe that if I am the most rotten unwanted and ruthlessly stupid ignorant human being and if somebody can find that, it will be a great service, if they don't become that. And if I am the holiest of the holy and most pure of the pure, most Divine of the Divine and most gracious of the gracious, it is useless if I do not lift the state of mind of those who have lost their grace. To me not the wealth matters, not health matters, not happiness matter, not God matters and not relationship matters and not opportunity matter, not power matters, nothing. Because I am a real YogiYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. . I have practiced in my life by my experience all the occult powers, everything. I let them go. It's not worth anything.

The only thing man has to learn in is life. Doesn't matter what happens to him or her. He must help others to be better. Make your children better, make your home better, make your relationship better. Anything you touch, speak to, talk to, make them happy, make them better. And my conclusion is that only then you do, if you have your inner vitality. If you are one piece inside you are intact. It will not happen if you are on a sale. Sensual sale, sexual sale, economic sale, party sale, God knows, whatever you call, it's all sale. When you stop impressing people or pressing people or pushing people or playing games, when you stop all that and you just say, 'Humee Hum Brahmam,' 'I am, I am and I am the God.' And you start seeing God in all. And you realize respect and have reverence for that. You are the best.

I am not saying you should do it. But I don't see any other way. You can be really human. And if you are not human which God made you to be, everything else which you are, you are a Jew, you are a Christian, you are a Sikh, you are a Moslem, you are rich, you are poor, you are powerful, you are weak, you are homeless, you have a palace, all that doesn't make sense. What is the difference?

I have seen a person who has a master bed with a gold balcony and God knows what that it, mirrors and whole thing. Bed alone million and a half dollars or something like that. Forget about the house, I am not talking about the house but I have seen a bed. I am talking about the bed. It's over million and a half when I saw it fifteen years ago. I satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. in his house on a dinner. A redwood tree seventeen feet wide cut simple in one piece, thirty four feet long, was the dining table. He spoke, microphone picked it up, I spoke microphone picked it up. There was a one candle here in, one candle there, one candle and we ate. First time I learnt there is a artichoke here and he taught me how to pick it up and put it in the oil and eat it. And I looked at him, I said, "That's my host," I said, "Where are you?"

(Students laugh.)

He was on the other side.

This is the only country where I have experienced that a family who wanted me to come to their house in New York and they have totally loved it and I agreed to go to their house three years. I don't go to anybody's house normally. I refuse, I have learnt my lesson. And they prepared a beautiful dinner, the whole thing. Then the whole family fought, who sits where. Just on that. And they fought a open fight. So bad that we end up eating standing in the kitchen.

(Students laugh.)

And I said, "That's it. No more. I have no part to play with this. Rarely I will go somewhere. This is nothing, crazy. They fight on sitting on which chair who sits, on which chair. What kind of people are these?" It's a very funny place.

I had a yesterday a great experience of my life. Great experience. I mean to say, experience which is more Divine to me anything.

I visited my jeweler Jerry and I was in his shop. And we were talking to a friend of our, who is a millionaire, big businessman. And I saw two single rose vases. A piece of art which today you can't produce. There is no artist left of that. It is a old story.

And my jeweler said to that guy, "Give me any money, thousand dollars, two thousand dollars, take it."

I said, "You must be joking. It is worth a lot."

And you know what this guy said? He said, "It may be worth ten thousand dollar each. But I won't buy it free."

Well, that grew my curiosity. I said, "Why, this is a piece of art. Somebody must have spent, great artist, master artist, at least, say six months to produce it. Don't you like the art?"

He said, "It's marvelous, it's beautiful. There is nothing like it."

I said, "Don't like you get up in the morning and by the two sides of your bed, master bed, there are two beautiful roses with long stem in each one of them and you look at them and talk to them. Would you like that? Isn't somebody who made it that way?"

He said, "I do, but I won't buy them."I said, "Nobody is selling it to you. But just I am asking my curiosity has aroused why?"

He said, "Do you see there are initials on it?"

I said, "Where?" I thought it was a work. It was a artwork but there was some a, some three letters, very classically imprinted in it. I said, "Oh yeah," on my crockery it is written SSS, that means Siri Singh SahibSiri Singh Sahib Honorary title given to Yogi Bhajan to indicate his role as spiritual leader of Sikh Dharma in the West. His complete title within Sikh Dharma is Siri Singh Sahib Bhai Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji. and I got that day a glass with emeralds and these two guys made one glass which I can't drink in but I look at it early morning.

(Students laugh.)

And it is one of the costliest glass on the planet because it has emerald and rubies and pearls and gold and the whole thing and it has my initial seal SSS. It is a glass but I don't put water in it but if it breaks, it will break everybody's heart. But I look at it. It is the prettiest jeweled precious glass. And I was laughing this morning, looking at the glass. I said, "Glass, I have left you in my original state of Pakistan. I became a pauper. But you never left me. You reappeared in Los Angeles." Because that is the kind of glasses we were having in our family when we used to drink.

We had to get up early in the morning and we had to drink a rose water in a gold glass and then we had to make a Yogic drink in a silver glass and then we had to have a food cooked in a iron pot and (laughs) it was a whole science. But those days people want to live naturally. They want to eat naturally, they want to use metals and all that. And precious stone used to be just for sun energy and herbs used to heal people and energy and food used to make you live younger and brighter. Food was not for taste. Food for the test of the grit of the person on the Earth. And I remember those days.

What I am saying to you is that we are in trouble and we need our spirit, our soul. We don't need counseling, we don't need help, we don't need prayer, we don't need God. We need to go inside and find the God inside us. We have to really go in and talk to our soul. We have to meditate on the breath of life. We have to experience that we have the greatest energy, thirty mega circular unit. I never used that word before. And I am going to teach you today first time. I will be with you two days before I am going on my Orient trip, what circular energy I am talking about. You have never been taught, nobody will. I will. I know it.

I was doing a exercise today and somebody saw me. He said, "What are you doing?"

I said, "Exercising."

"What this exercise mean? He said.

I said, "It reduces water in the body."

But it took me long time to read my own notes and remember my own exercise. So can we do tonight a good class? And will you do one thing? That try to drink... What you have been drinking?

Students: (--------)

YB: To purify the blood and it will do very good and it will be very effective for the liver, spleen, and for your system. It will be Siri Ved Veding da-da-da-da-da. What are you doing? Hold on. We are in mechanical trouble.

(Students laugh.)

It's good. It happens.

(Students laugh.)

You know, somebody today could not enter their own home because when you put the key in the house you have to check the security number and when you take the key you have take three and a half turn and then the computer will answer you to press the code of your identity. Because you are on a camera picture and your size, height, weight is there and where you are standing before the door of your own house, your own house is a weigh machine and your code on x-ray is being taken by the x-ray report and you are on a camera and the security is alert. And the person punched the wrong number and then he couldn't enter his house, doesn't matter what he tried to do. He even seized in the emergency and within five minutes there was ten police cars. One from Beverly Hill, one from others, and they saw Mr. House owner standing there, (laughs).

(Students laugh.)

And he said, "Is there a problem?

He said, (laughs) "I can't enter my own house."

And he met us today and he was laughing, he said, "You know, you do so much security these days that you can't enter your own house."

Computer is really taking over. Well, let us see what our computer in the head does for us tonight? Okay. All set?

I am dedicating these three days for our cleansing. We have fought lot of wars in Indo-China, British-Guyana and other places. Just for black pepper. Black pepper has been cause of World war. And it is also a world war between Spanish armada and the British Navy. And the basic war was for black pepper. They call it black pepper, the purifier. Actually black pepper is not black. Black pepper is white inside and the outer shell is black. They named it black pepper and you must understand in the western tradition, there is not a one restaurant on the table there is not a black pepper and salt. That was considered essential part of the life. Now we don't care. Now they say, "Don't take salt and black pepper." People just look at it.

(Students laugh.)

It is true. It is free.

(Students laugh.)

You can take the whole bottle and split in your food. Nobody will care. But you don't Let us see why not. Come on, let's do it.

Please put your hands like this. It is a very difficult exercise you are going to do. It is going to shake you inside out. And I hope you do it.

Put your five antennas like this as they call it, claws of the eagle. Right? You understand? And watch me what I am going to do and you are going to do exactly the same. This is very slow and this is what we are going to do.

This is how the mother used to mix the dough for you with a lot of milk and the dough and she used to mix hours. And she used to think she is putting Pranas into it. You are not mixing a dough and modern woman doesn't know what a dough is. To her dough is...

(Students laugh.)

Moolah, no.

A mother will not make a food on two conditions. If the wheat is not one year old and if it's not hand grinded. Wheat was always taken one year in stock and then that wheat was used for the bread. That was the condition. And second, the dough was made by mother and she will put all her two fingers in this and she will move it. There was no mechanical mixtures. And no electric equipment. And it was not to mix it. Mix you can mix just with a spoon or wooden spoon would have enough. This was done for the health.

Now, please move and that will move your all glandular system and it will start hurting your chest and pain and breath, the whole thing. And what I mean is, you are not, not you, you are weak.

Watch this.

With this weight, you will adjust your spine automatically. Don't do it just like, you know. Just, just...

See how I move, whether I like it or not?

(Students laugh.)

Watch this. There is a powerful circulary, it is centripetal force to invoke the centrifugal force. It's the IdaIda One of the three major channels (nadis) for subtle energy in the body. It is associated with the flow of breath through the left nostril, follows down the left side of the spine, and represents the qualities of the moon - calmness, receptivity, coolness, and imagination. It is associated with the functions of the parasympathetic nervous system but is not identical to it nor derived from it. Also see Pingala and Shushmana and PingalaPingala One of the three major channels (nadis) for subtle energy in the body. It is associated with the flow of breath through the right nostril, follows down the right side of the spine, and represents the qualities of the sun - energy, heat, action, and projective power. It is associated with the functions of the sympathetic nervous system but is not identical to it or derived from it. See also Ida and Shushmana. , this is the basic of the Yoga. This is the basic of life. One force gets in, one force get out. One creates the water thing and one creates the, that wind thing, which...

Student: (-----)

YB: Cyclone which takes away your homes.

But move powerfully vast. Put this energy here and the body will deal with it. You don't have to deal with it. It will adjust your spine automatically vertebra by vertebra. It will stimulate your glandular system. Do it as a exercise. Not just ritual. It is not a religion we are doing here. We can do it very clearly.

The circle should be complete, the force should be absolutely powerful. It must have its own magnetic field. And by that your body will shake with it. It is like a salt shaker.

Um, uh, you were doing right now, you are doing wrong.

It has to be this way, not like this. Like this. Downward, circular and when you do powerfully then you can't stop it. When you can't stop it, you are in it.

Hold it by its own force. Hold it by its own force. You will start relaxing after a while, but just don't relax, keep going, powerful.

All right, thank you.

Now we are going on our first vertebra. You know, first vertebra?

You only remember that in the bathroom. But it's very important.

Take this... Now it's a perfect adjustment. You will be surprised how can you do things.

Put this on under the pinkie. You know pinkie, right here and put these three fingers and lock it and take this one finger and put your hands here. Straight, no bent in elbow.

Look straight or not, doesn't matter but see what happen.

Now, this is the set. Now press these fingers really hard and this finger straight and just start moving this. You will find the lowest seat in the body will start being effective. Yeah, right there down which you can never reach.

You only use paper there, never even rub it.

Move, you will be surprised. You will exact going on your first vertebra or they call it tailbone?

Student: (---------)

YB: Yeah, sacrum, tailbone.

Now move. And lower back will start talking to you in few seconds. Just move that way. Move powerfully. You move slowly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It hurts sometime. But it heals too at the same time. Come on, come on.

There are lot of parts there. Yeah, everybody of you have a pelvic bone and underneath that little, little teeny tiny...

Move, you have to move that area.

I think if I will do it, you will get ashamed because you are not doing it right.

It's all lower back. Come on, come on, come on.

Now these are young girls, they should be doing all the time.

(Students laugh.)

Ooh, there's one, two, three, this is a line of young people. My God.

(Students laugh.)

These are not old either.

(Students laugh.)

Lower back, the very lower back you can't adjust. There's no way. And the adjustment can only be done by a surgeon, right?

Student: (-------)

YB: Even a medical doctor until he has to check the prostate can't go in there, correct, medically correct?

Well, this is the way.

Otherwise you have to go to San Francisco to get it done.

(Students laugh.)

BhaiBhai Brother. , it just get out of adjustment and there is a way to do it. Come on, move, move, that part move. Don't try to, you know, you have put down one community over the other. You do not know what you are saying. It is all adjustment. Go ahead.

Move, you move, move, move, move, move.

All right, please, now put your hands and lock it like this and balance it.

Inhale one stroke, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.

Exhale one, Oh yeah, ha, ha, ha, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.

It's called circulary breath and if you do it in twelve, if you do it in eight, it is called eight stroke breath. If you do it in twelve it is twelve circulary breath. And please breathe that way.

I will give you the initial start and you will like to freak out soon.

All right, hands have to be like this. Always in this. You lock this hand and just press it and just these fingers should be pressed on this, these pressed on that. Thumb underneath and make a perfect square, tight. Person can sit on it and it won't come down. All right, now ready.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Twelve, eleven... To the last iota of breath get out.

Twelve breathe in, twelve breathe out. Continue, we'll do it exactly eleven minutes.

It is a conscious breath you are breathing and you will breathe in this posture.

SIDE B

Strength should be equal twelve fold. You will heal, you don't go have to England to get a treatment. And Romania to be in a health clinic, you can do it right here.

Twelve breath in, twelve breath out.

(Breathing exercise continues vigorously.)

Just breathe, let me help you. I think some of you are not in a position to count.

Let us start, one breathe in, two, three, four five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, let's go out.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, change.

(Breathing exercise continues rhythmically.)

Army experience can't go beyond eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven twelve.

Twelve, eleven...

In Yoga notes there is about one hundred one diseases listed under this KriyaKriya Literal meaning is "completed action." A Kundalini Yoga Kriya is a sequence of postures and yoga techniques used to produce a particular impact on the psyche, body, or self. The structure of each kriya has been designed to generate, organize, and deliver a particular state or change of state, thereby completing a cycle of effect. These effects have been codified and elaborated by Yogi Bhajan and form the basic tools used in yoga and its therapeutic applications. which get eliminated from the body.

(Breathing exercise continues.)

It is called circular breath.

But to stimulate body and the glandular system, you have to those, those, two prior exercises.

You have done it exactly five minutes. Six minutes to remain.

And just understand when we used to study it, we used to do it for two and a half hour. What those days will be?

Little higher, you, yeah.

There is a point of the shoulder, the armpit will be at exact this angle. It is because of the nervous system. That's very required.

Enjoy the exercise. It will really change your metabolism and your protective glands.

Come on, come on, you have to do it.

Put your elbows just ninety degree at the armpit. Not down, not too higher, just straight. Well, well, just one, two, three, four more minutes, it's not difficult. Come on.

Try, try, try. Look at this young boy is doing it so well, come on, keep up.

Wow, come on kid. Just little elbows up, little. Yeah, now you are right. Posture is okay.

And there is a very funny note which I read today was that if you do this exercise and if you have any problem, it will help asthma, it will help, it is very good for smoker who are hooked on nicotine. It also takes away shallow breathing. It opens up the all capillaries of the lungs and the lower lungs and all that stuff.

Wow, we have to go about three more minutes. It's, it's happening. Come on. Energize yourself.

How's the business doing? Wow. Shop is doing well?

Think of best health, charming health. For every business and work, you require good health. Physical health, mental health can be taken if you have spiritual strength. Life force in your spiritual strength. Breath of life is your spirit.

Circulate, circulate, one more minute to go.

The following exercise which you are going to finish exactly in thirty second is, when I say inhale, you will inhale and hold and you will shake but don't let the hand posture go.

Now steady lock the hands, be in the perfect posture. Inhale deep, tight and squeeze and shake the body by holding the breath. Total body shake, spine, ribcage, not back and forth. Just as you are trembling, earthquake. Right on the spot, shake. Right there, there. Breathe out, breathe in. Hold tight, start shaking right on the spot. You can just do it there. Tight and shake. They say bake and shake. I say tight and shake.

Breathe out, inhale deep, deep, hold tight, tight, shake powerfully. Shake to the point that you cannot hold the breath and you give up. Go, go, go. Go. Go, with all the force go.

Go, go, keep going, keep going. Don't stop.

Relax, wow.

It's a different day, isn't it?

This exercise is eleven minutes. Two exercise which opens up our meridian points, one in pelvic and one in the chest, we did. And third, how much they are, three minutes, three minutes and this was eleven minutes. Rest was talk. So eleven and six, total seventeen minutes.

If you can give yourself seventeen minutes a day, you will find a most tremendous mental, spiritual, and physical change. And this is called circular breath. And its original name is ChakraChakra , Chaakra The word connotes a wheel in action. It usually refers to the seven primary energy centers in the aura that align along the spine from its base to the top of the skull. Each chakra is a center of consciousness with a set of values, concerns, and powers of action associated with it. Pran.

I know you are all planning to be in romance, but I tell you how beautiful romance is. Romance is the most beautiful warming thing. It takes away you from here to anywhere. But on the other hand, when romance turn into reality you sweat. Romance is a beautiful thing. I am not against romance. I am not against love too. Make love but have enough money that you can raise the babies. Love is not there. Love is start of there and that. You are all ready for there, nobody is ready for that.

Don't start living. Every young person is going to be old person one day. If you don't care as young, you will never learn to care as old.

'Ghar Jawani Toba Kardam SevaSeva Selfless Service. the heart of the Aashram experience is serving each other. E Pagambarish, Wakte Piri Gur Gazalam Meishwar Perez Kaas.'

Persia has one poet, Sheikh Sadi. He wrote two books, Gulistan and Bowstan. The two books are in poetry. And it is one of the most beautiful world spirituality ever man could write. And he was a humble man of God. He was a poet and this is one line of that poetry.

'Ghar Jawani Toba Kardam.'

If at the time of youth, you redeem yourself and say no, where you have to say no and you ask forgiveness, when you are young you ask forgiveness from the deeds which are not supposed to be done.

'Ghar Jawani Toba Kardam SevaSeva Selfless Service. the heart of the Aashram experience is serving each other. E Pagambarish

That is the act of Divine messengers of God.

SevaSeva Selfless Service. the heart of the Aashram experience is serving each other. , means the act. Pegambar, at the Avtar, the incarnation of God. Wake-e-piri-at the old time. Gur Gazalam-and that the most cruel, this, what they call this guy wolf, Meishwar Perez Kaas -at the old age when he has no teeth, he becomes vegetarian. He says, 'Oh no, I am Sufi now. I am Kosher, I am not going to do anything wrong.' Is a joke.

And in Siri GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. GranthGranth Literally: knot: book. ,

'Sir Kampiyo Pag Dagmagey, Nein Jotheen.'

Age will come and your head will shake and your eyes can't see and your feet will tremble. What you will do then?

And that is what this Yoga is about. That, that state of body, mind and soul should not come.

KundaliniKundalini Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual. Kundalini Yoga It is a Raaj Yoga that creates vitality in the body, balance in the mind, and openness to the spirit. It is used by the householder, busy in the world, to create immediate clarity. The fourth Guru in the Sikh tradition, Guru Ram Das, was acknowledged as the greatest Raaj Yogi. (See Raaj Yogi.) He opened this long secret tradition to all.

This is for us to remain, through every time, every age we live reasonably young, active. It is a self stimulation. If you cannot stimulate your glandular system, yourself. You have no right to live healthy. And our work, our pressures, take us away from it.

You do exercise, lot of exercise you do. The best exercise is in forty five minutes walk brisk walk three miles. You can do on a treadmill . You can do anywhere. But there is a one exercise which I found out, it's very beautiful. That is, stand on your sink. Put your hands and sink. Give your back little angle, get on your toes and move fast. Don't move your toes. If you last eleven minutes, you are healthy, just healthy. If you can go twenty two minutes, you are very healthy. If you can do thirty three minutes, you don't have to worry. But do it fastest.

I like to challenge all that big macho from that Golden Gym.

(Students laugh.)

If they can do it. Wow, it's something very funny to do. And you will find something for yourself. You don't have to go to a gym, to a club and do a thing. Just put a towel on the side of the sink, put your hands and give angle to your spine and put your weight there. It is a help. And just get on your toes and move fast alternatively, fastest than you can do. It depend how much you last.

Eleven minutes, you are okay. Twenty two minutes, you are good. Thirty two-three minutes, if you can do it in a row and no nonsense, don't worry.

Onion a day, keeps the cancer away, apple a day keeps the doctor away. Decide for yourself.

Yeah.

Student: (-------------)

YB: No, no, no, no push up. Just you stand, give an angle to the spine serum and that's all you have to do, the circulary system may between the gray matter and the serum and all you have to do is to move the, at the toe the heels, the calf and all that, just, just, it is a pelvic bone exercise. It has nothing to do with too much exercise or too less exercise and you will have a fun. It doesn't cost I mean, three thousand dollars. It doesn't cost membership of eleven hundred dollars a month. It doesn't cost a thing. It needs a bathroom four by four, that will do, all you need is a sink to handle. Just give yourself a little angle. Anybody can do it. Because the muscles in the calf and meridian point and one side on the top of your foot, at this point, this point, is a general meridian point of general energy. Right here. And it will start hurting you exactly in two minutes. It means you are out of commission.

(Students laugh.)

Then keep on doing it. It's amazing.

Second exercise. You take these two, this is a Venus point, this is a Venus mount. It fits, doesn't matter who you are. It fits in your ear. Like it or not, it just fits in your ear and massage yourself for five to seven minutes. And you have needled every meridian point in your body right there. This fits, this fits in your ear perfectly. That's the way God made it.

And second, third exercise which you should do is, put your hand behind your neck and press forward and when the neck press down and start growing up. You won't believe it and hold the breath and do about seven breath. You will be a fun. You need these exercises without any rhyme and reason and asking long big questions.

Tomorrow, actually this was a introductory class. Tomorrow we will do the circular breath in full swing and you are set and please remember, maximum orange juice and black pepper and give it your body a chance. And then you have in body it's called immune system. Is there any medicine for immune system only?

Student: (--------)

YB: Oh yeah, herbs are very good. But any way, uh, tomorrow we will see how good immune system you have and it'll show up your auraAura The radiant field of energy and consciousness that surrounds the physical body and which holds and organizes the seven centers of energy called chakras. Its strength, measured by brightness and radius, determines the vitality, mental concerns, and psychophysical integrity of a person. .
