POSTURE: Sit in Easy Pose. It is important to sit with a straight spine.

MUDRA: Hands are in Gyan Mudra (the tip of the thumb and the tip of the index finger together). Keep the other three fingers straight and pressed together side by side.

MOVEMENT: Stretch your arms over your head. Create a steady movement: begin making large alternate circles of the arms. The right arm swoops in a large counterclockwise circle over the head, back behind the body and then out to the right as low as the heart center. The left arm moves in a large clockwise circle over the head, back behind the body and out to the left. Stagger the movement of the two arms. As the left arm comes over the head, the right arm is circling out to the right of the body. This way the arms won’t collide with one another. Keep the arms circling up and around and move forcefully in rhythm with the mantra, one revolution per second.

MANTRA: Chant clearly and forcefully from the Navel Point to the musical version of the mantra SAT NAAM, SAT NAAM, WHA-HAY GUROO, WHA-HAY GUROO by Jagjit Singh.

TIME: Continue for 11 minutes. For the last 15 seconds, move as fast as possible.

TO END: Inhale, stretch the arms straight up to hug the ears and stretch the spine as much as possible. Hold 10 seconds, exhale and repeat two more times. During the last inhale, stretch and twist the body first left, then right seven times, then come to center and exhale.

This kriya builds the arc line, opens the heart, strengthens the aura, adjusts the life force in order to handle challenging situations and life changing events.

“It’s called Gyan Chakra Kriya.  In the science of yoga, it is the most sacred kriya of the yogis, who can produce miracles.  The mantra is the Adi Mantra and Tresha Guru Mantra of Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh, so I am just explaining the context of it.  So you can enjoy it and feel good about me– when you become prosperous and rich, call me.” “If your psyche and your halo is there, this exercise shall give you your halo as it should be; more you do it, more fast you will be you. Opportunities will come to you, you don’t have to chase after them. Am I clear?”
—Yogi Bhajan

 “You will have altitude and attitude of prosperity. Height. It will give you height. And you will see better, you can see bigger, you can think bigger, you can think best. All will come to you.”
—Yogi Bhajan
