and lungs. This equilibrium creates the conditions for the breath to stop. If there is no mental
activity, there is no energy consumption, and therefore there is no need to breathe - in that state you
can enter Samadhi. The secret is that there is no mental activity. There must be Equilibrium
between yourself and the universe.
[140] Joty Soruba Samadhi [Golden light Samadhi Meditation]
Visualize a golden flame: meditate upon it and experience entering a dimension of pure light. The
dimension of the flame can vary, for example you can visualize it like the flame of a candle. The
eyes are closed but you can also keep them open at the level of the horizon or focused on the region
between the eyebrows. When the state of Samadhi comes, the vision of the golden light will also
come: it is as if you were in a golden room without boundaries, without form. In this state you
breathe freely, you do not need to be concerned about anything else.
It is advisable to practice this technique after due preparation, like the following:
Kriya Kundalini Pranayama (48 breaths)
Matreika Pranayama (5-25 breaths)
Technique number 139 for five minutes
This technique (140) for twenty minutes
[141] Nirvikalpa Samadhi
This technique consists in focusing the mind on the crown of the head and practicing Shuddi at that
point, detaching yourself from everything else: not only from your own thoughts but from every
sound, and from every form. There is nothing to be visualized and, according the way your body
reacts, you can continue with the practice indefinitely - there is no limit. Yogi Ramaiah said:
"Become it itself, not just conscious of it."
It is advisable to practice this technique after due preparation, like the following:
Kriya Kundalini Pranayama (48 breaths)
Matreika Pranayama (5-25 breaths)
Technique number 139 for ten minutes

[142] Babaji Darshana
Start with a minute of Shuddi with open eyes, then for 19 minutes try to visualize Babaji
everywhere. Try to visualize Him in three dimensions: you can see Babaji walking, smiling, doing
something utilizing the objects that are around you. Allow your imagination to be very active.
Change also your point of vision. You should avoid visualizing objects that are not around you.
You must be realistic: in this way Babaji will become more and more present in your life. In the
last two techniques you have experienced God in the absolute form; now you want to experience
God with form. Remember also that Babaji is a state of consciousness that can be experiences
within. "Look for Babaji to become Babaji."

[143] Nityananda
Be conscious of any activity, until you reach a point where your awareness is continuous and
therefore joy is also continuous. We know that we suffer when our awareness is interrupted: at that
time the Samsaras come to the surface and the consciousness is seized by desires. This technique
can be practiced both with closed or open eyes. You can practice it when you eat: be conscious of
the smell and of any taste. You can practice it during a walk in the woods: move slowly,
coordinating your walking with breathing, being conscious of every sensation, feeling and emotion.
People always think: "Oh, if only I could rest on the beach in the Sun, then I will be happy!" All
the time living in the imagining of that which does not exist. It is said, in fact, that "we dream" with
open eyes. We don't live in the present.
Through this technique we learn how to experience the joy that exists in each moment: the more
one is conscious, the more one is happy.
The best time to begin this technique is during the day of the week you devote to silence: you will
feel a lot of joy, a continuous state of ecstasy. With this technique you can let your thoughts
develop freely, like in technique number 138.
When practiced at night, resting, it is called Yoga-Nidra. Little by little you become aware of your
inner Self and of its divine nature. The purpose is a continuous flow of Ananda. This technique
follows those of Savikalpa and of Nirvikalpa: it is an extension of them to daily life. With this
practice you learn to meditate with open eyes, and you begin to realize that the things of life are not
born from us, even if they manifest through us. Our activity consists in becoming perfect channels
through which Divinity is manifested. At the beginning of the spiritual path, we are convinced we
are responsible of all that happens in our life and therefore we try to mold reality according to our
wishes. From now on we must do this technique always. However, for a certain period, the best
thing is to practice it for a fixed period of time: 15 minutes.
[144] Nada Yoga
Close the ears with the fingers. For the first three minutes close both ears, then for the next three
minutes only the left one, then for another three minutes only the right one. Then close both ears
for six minutes. Then both ears are open -- for five minutes.
3+3+3+6+5=20
Try to listen to the internal sounds. This is easier when there are no other sounds in your vicinity.
You will hear the different sounds of the Chakras - below them you will perceive the sound of Om.
The sounds will be also perceived without closing the ears.
