Install a New Program Into the Brain by Using the Body

Life is full of surprises and situations we get to “FIGURE OUT.”

This past week my phone died. No big deal. Got a new phone. Then my computer died. OK… I can figure this out, got a new computer too! (All the hassle of apps and passwords and syncing etc times TWO!! It’s a whole process. Feels never-ending, but I digress…) Moving on, still figuring things out… and hmmm… my throat hurts. Like, my throat REALLY hurts. Only time it has ever hurt this bad, I had strep throat! And last time I had strep throat I got pink eye too!

So, yep, here I sit recovering from Strep, a sinus infection AND Pink eye with my new computer and new phone… Figuring it out!

The best way I know to figure things out is to be in full trust.

I trust that NO MATTER WHAT, I am held. I am not figuring this out alone. I have FULL FAITH that I can handle any challenge I am faced with.

Remember how you needed this trust to get through morning sickness? Through birth? Through the sleepless nights of early parenthood? Through the challenges of breastfeeding? Through all of life’s surprises.

In the “Womb Connections” you can find in my book, “Wisdom from the Womb, The Magic of a Baby-Led Birth” I offer several Kriyas to assist you through various challenges of pregnancy, birth and life. Kriyas are a technique from Kundalini yoga that have been proven to quickly change brain patterns and help install a new program into the brain by using the body.

So to help you FIGURE IT OUT… whatever “IT” may be in your life right now- your relationship, your car, your birth, or… everything-

***I offer this Kriya to help you build trust.***

Posture

Sit in Easy Pose, criss cross applesauce. Spine is strong, rooted into the earth and connecting through the crown to the cosmos, heart is open.

Mudra

Bring your arms up with a slight bend in the elbows and arch them around your head, the palms facing down. Women put their left palm on top of the right hand and men rest their right palm on top of the left. The thumbs are pointing backward, with the tips touching.

Mantra

Whisper the mantra ‘Wahe Guru’ and pronounce the sounds very precisely with the lips and tongue. This is a mantra that expresses the ecstasy of dwelling in the divine, the indescribable experience of going from darkness to light (from ignorance and fear to trust). It is the Infinite teacher within yourself. 

Time

Continue 3-11 minutes. Since it can be challenging to keep your arms up when you are not used to it, you can start with 3 minutes and gradually increase the time. Do this anytime you need to build trust, or do it everyday for 40 days.

End

Inhale deep and hold the posture, then exhale and release. Sit in silence for a few moments, sensing the energy in your body and around you. Notice your body, your baby, your mind. Just notice.

I hope this helps you FIGURE THINGS OUT! Please stop by and tell me how you felt after doing this Kriya in our Baby Led Birth FB Group!
