In this course it is especially advisable for you to sit in full lotus position while you do your exercises. The reason for this is that it will keep you grounded and prevent physical damage while you engage in spiritual activities. In the lotus
position you place your feet on the opposing thigh in this manner:
The hands may be placed in various positions called mudras, which cause varying effects depending on the position. For our purpose, the well-known gyan mudra will be satisfactory:
Place your hands on your knees with the palms facing upwards and thumb and forefinger touching, like above.
Relax the rest of the fingers. This is the position that we are going to use throughout this course.

In this exercise we will complete the opening of the crown chakra. What I want you to do is to direct your energy through the chakra, like a pillar or an arm pushing open a circular door that opens much the same way a flower does.

One way of doing this is to set a point at about 2.5dm (~10”) above your head, and then establish a pillar of energy starting from inside your body and ending at that point, completely ignoring whatever is in its path. Practice this until you feel that the top of your head is no longer an obstacle to your energy so that you can easily at will extend your consciousness to above your head in this way.
EXERCISE 2: BE ABOVE YOUR CROWN CHAKRA
If you’ve mastered the previous exercise, this one will be easy. It simply consists of placing your consciousness above your crown chakra and staying there. The hardest part is as usual to maintain your focus and not fall prey to distractions.
Practice until you’re able to maintain this state for 20 minutes relatively easily.
During this exercise you are likely to have extraordinary experiences. You may for example become aware of a big circular light, like a white sun or star, that you see when you close your eyes. This is the light of your soul. If you have this experience, stay with it as the next exercise is about connecting with the spiritual realm and this experience means that you’ve done that already so then you’ve got a head start.

Very good! You’ve come a long way, my friend. Now we will take the final step and connect with the spiritual realm. The crucial change here is that instead of being above your crown chakra spatially, you use the crown chakra as a portal
so that the world above it is the spiritual world rather than your ceiling. Many of you have likely intuitively taken this step already but for those who haven’t, here’s what you do.
First, focus your awareness above your crown chakra as in the previous exercise but be careful to maintain the energy pillar down to your body so that you can feel your body.
Then, present the intention to connect with the spiritual world. You should experience a shift, as though something clicks into place or something comes into your field of experience. At this point, just relax and let it transpire. What
you experience now will likely be unique but one example is a brightness that comes from above and flows into you through the crown chakra and merges with you. Another example is the experience of a vast, dark space. The
common denominator is the sensation of eternity. Now try to stay with this for a while. Make yourself aware of what it feels like, this will make it easier for you to come back to this state of being later. Once you feel like you’ve got the hang
of it, you can experiment with rapidly disconnecting and reconnecting again. Eventually you should be able to easily connect no matter the situation. It’s actually possible to stay connected to the spiritual realm all the time, at least while you’re awake. In my experience you automatically close the crown chakra when you go to sleep so that may prove tougher.
OPTIONAL EXERCISE: EXPERIMENT!
Congratulations, you made it! The course is really finished now, the benefits such as peace of mind will automatically be granted as long as you stay connected, but as I said in the beginning the spiritual realm can also be used as a medium for spiritual activities. For example, try to communicate telepathically with the spiritual realm while you’re connected and see what happens.

COW’S MILK
Madhura Rasa (sweet taste). This can increase any deficiency dhatu (structure).
This form kapha (mucus) and builds the body. Controls vata (air) and pitta (bile). It is considered a amrta (nectar) because it immediately becomes rasa (lymph) if taken alone. Unless it is taken immediately from the cow, should be boiled to make it lighter and free of germs. If you arrive to cool it is very difficult to digest, one should not let it stand in a bottle or other container. Therefore, it is preferable to take hot. It is very good for heart disease and eliminates poisons and toxins.

Perhaps at one time was different. The ascetics were spending many years in the forests or mountains subject to rigorous yoga practices to submit worldly desires and achieve higher inner self.
And indeed, austerity is the key to deal with the pain in all its forms.
But the key to spiritual advancement austerity is tolerance, not self-torture.

On the contrary, since the soul accepts their food self-realized as prasadam (the Lord’s mercy), the feed is another opportunity to remember the Supreme Lord.
Krishna says in Gita Bhaqavad Chapter 15, text 14: “I am the fire of digestion in every living body, and the vital air I’m outgoing and incoming, by which I digest the four kinds of food.” Therefore, it is also wise to eat in an appropriate atmosphere for digestion.
Under such circumstances spiritual Vaishvanara a representation of the Supreme Lord, present in our bodies like the fire of digestion in the stomach digest our food gently and lovingly.
We should also eat at the right time. Just as there are now more desirable for certain types of activities, there are certain times of day that are most appropriate for different meals.

Jataragni (or Vaishvanara), is strongest when the sun is at its midpoint. Therefore, the more substantial meal should be done soon after noon.
At that time, two-thirds of the capacity of the stomach can be filled, and will be slowly digested food even if it is a heavy meal.
But in the morning to do a soft breakfast (fruit, milk, rice dumplings, fresh peas, etc..), But if breakfast is strong, try to fill only a third of your stomach.
Similarly, if you want to eat at night, then you should fill only a third of your stomach.
We’ve all experienced that feeling of fullness and discomfort that remains after a large meal and heavy. This is due to alteration of the Doshas, ​​as explained earlier.
Eating less than needed also alters the vata-dosha (the energy that controls our vital air), but overeating produces an immediate reaction in all Doshas.
The antidote to the glut is to wait longer before making the next meal.
Thus, the fire of digestion have more time to digest the excess food.
Ayurveda suggests taking a meal every six hours. The day has 24 hours, if we subtract the six hours of sleep, we are 18 hours.
So according to ayurveda, you should only eat three times a day.
The food is completely digested and assimilated called rasa, the parent of combustion of the body.
But if you eat too fast back food from the previous meal will become am, or undigested food in the stomach and duodenum.
Eating wrong foods also leads to the accumulation of undigested material and rotting in the intestinal tract.
Thus, for example, now pays close attention to the modern practice of natural medicine to the importance of cleaning the intestinal tract to eliminate disposable materials, which are attached to the intestinal walls like rubber.
Ayurveda explains that it is neither am rasa (lymph) or bad (excess water is removed, ie, feces and urine).
The am is fermented, and the more remains in the body, the more toxic it becomes. The PM is the first in the list of causes of the alterations of the Doshas.
The Doshas are scattered throughout the body, but are especially sensitive in the stomach.
When there am in the stomach, this may alter the other doshas anywhere in the body.
Consequently, eating properly is the most important factor in preventing disease.
The body is a unit with the stomach as a center, and everything emanates from this center in the form of waves or vibrations.
Eating properly secures the harmony of the whole body

Pita Dosha

The energy controller of bile, is the heat energy contained in each cell, and is located in the following seven components of the body, which also controls: navel, stomach, sweat glands, blood, lymph, eyes and skin. Bile is a liquid and pale yellow.

Kapha

From Pita Dosha is generated the last of the Doshas: Kapha.
The Kapha is the principle of sound energy that dominates the mucosal elements. Amino acids and proteins which builds the body, they fall under the category of kapha.
The Kapha is located in the following points, which also controls: chest, throat, nose, tongue, head, large intestine, synovial membranes and fat. In addition to controlling the various bodies, Doshas also determine the quality of the environment.
Recall that the Vata Dosha refers to the principle of the vital airs, the beeps Dosha at the beginning of the heat energy and kapha dosha at the beginning of the solids, so you can understand that environmental changes also alter the balance of Doshas.
For example, in a mountainous region dominated by Vata Dosha, in sea level, the kapha dosha, while in the desert pita Dosha is in the atmosphere.
Food is also dominated by the subtle energy principles. Meanwhile, they influence the body Doshas.

The disease is one of the four basic bodily misery, and therefore care must be taken seriously it keeping it clean of weeds or weeds that make useless for growing self-realization.
According to the Vedas, the disease should be treated like fire: extinguish as soon as it appears. Better yet is to lead a healthy lifestyle to prevent ailments of the body.

What is Ayurveda?

The Ayur-veda, the traditional medical system of ancient India and modern, has its roots in the Vedas. Trousseau means “life” and Veda means “science” (in Sanskrit). Therefore, Ajur-Veda means “Science of Life” and also “the knowledge to lead a long and peaceful. ”
