Breathe with the throat friction.
Become aware of the vibration in the hands and the vibration in
the eye.
Sense the general quality, the ‘flavour’ of your energy.
Phase 1
Join your hands as in a prayer
position. Become aware of the
vibration in your hands and in the
whole body. Stay half a minute in that
position.
Then go back to the original position,
palms upwards.
Keep on alternating from one position
to the other, comparing your energy. Observe what disposition of
consciousness arises when your hands are joined.
Phase 2: jnāna-mudrā
Go back to the
position with your
palms upwards (not
resting on your
knees). Engage the
throat friction to
amplify the
vibration and
connect the hands
and the eye. Spend
one minute
refocussing.
Then bend the index fingers and join them to the thumbs, in the
position called jnāna-mudrā. Use the throat friction to amplify the
action of the gesture. Continue sensing the variations of energy
inside yourself for 1 or 2 minutes.
Then resume the position with the palms upwards. Spend half a
minute amplifying the vibration with the throat friction. Feel the
quality of your energy.
Then take jnāna-mudrā again. Go on alternating the positions,
exploring the changes inside yourself.
How does your energy vary?
