I felt my emotions were so controlled and eventually felt as light as a feather. Also, I had all sorts of mixed thoughts flowing - sad, happy, good, etc for which my emotions were just frozen to accept all the thoughts as they were. During this stage I had lots of vibrations throughout my body. This cycle of Long-medium-fast SoHams are almost repeated for about 8 or 9 cycles followed by complete body relaxation in Shavasana. As the OM chants finishes, will begin the Guruji's tape which has a recorded voice of Guruji himself chanting SoHam in a particular rhythm which again contains Long-Medium-Fast paced rhythms (It goes like this So-Ham So-Ham So-Ham - So-Ham So-Ham So-Ham - SoHam SoHam SoHam) to breathe in-&-out in normal breaths. After these paranayama(breathing excerises), we chanted OM thrice which invoked vibrations in abdomen, chest area and as well in the face-head area. The Kriya starts with closing our eyes for the 3-stage yoga sitting in Vajrasana and doing in Ujjayai breath(the breath experienced in the throat & not in the nostrils) followed by Bhastrika in normal breath. Another catch is to keep our eyes closed throughout the process and feel the eternity in self. The main key point in this course is to drink plenty of water - as plenty as possible since this Kriya does a complete deep inner cleansing and removes all the toxins. Yesterday was my second day in the class and my teacher taught us the Sudarshan Kriya.

I have rejoined this Art Of Living - Part 1 course designed by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar guruji.
