Prayer can be one of the more difficult of the safeties to practice. Especially if you were not raised in an environment respectful or embracing of prayer — like myself. There are many misconceptions about it but I won’t go into those here. I will only say that it is very important and must be practiced.
Christ is real, Mary is real, Yahweh, Buddha, Allah, Zeus, Cybele, to name a few. All of them are real. And yes, I know this is a “real” stretch for some of you and it was for me too. However we feel about this culturally this is just how it is behind the veil. I’m not saying to pray to all of them but if you don’t already have one — Pick one that you like or pick GOD and pray. Pray for healing for a friend or a stranger or a family member. Pray for yourself. Pray for the Kundalini to take you where it is you want to go or to become what it is you want to be. The Kundalini can be very, very helpful. Do not disregard this because you are unaccustomed to it. Stretch yourself and make this a part of your practice.
Compression Prayer/ Alternate Nostril Breathing
Breathe in through he left nostril with right nostril covered or blocked. Breathe in with the mantra for example “The love of Christ” or “Krishna,” “Buddha” or “Allah” or “I am one with the all that I am.” Find one that works for you but do not leave out a recognition of God however God is to you.
Use the Law of Trinity. Say the mantra three times upon the intake of the breath through the left nostril. At the top of the breath, Hold and say the mantra three times again. At the beginning of the exhale switch nostrils by covering the left and opening the right and exhaling through the right with the mantra “the love of god” three times, timing the sequence with a “love of God” at the beginning of the exhale and the third one at the end of the exhale. This also applies to the inhales.
Now with the left nostril covered and the right nostril open, inhale with the mantra three times through the right nostril. Hold say to your self the mantra three times and then switch nostrils and cover the right and exhale with the mantra through the left nostril. This equals one cycle. This is called Triangluar breathing.
Looks like this:
(right nostril blocked) “The love of Christ…… The love of Christ…… The love of Christ……”
(Holding at top of breath) “The love of Christ…… The love of Christ…… The love of Christ……”
(Switching nostrils and covering left and exhaling out the right) “The love of God…… The love of God…… The love of God……”
(Keeping the left nostril blocked inhale through the right) “The love of Christ…… The love of Christ…… The love of Christ……”
(Holding at top of breath) “The love of Christ…… The love of Christ…… The love of Christ……”
(Switching nostrils and exhaling through the left) “The love of God…… The love of God…… The love of God……”
And so forth for 15 cycles to start.
