Todays Kriya: AWAKENING TO YOUR TEN BODIES (The Aquarian Teacher level 1 pg. 337, 338)
For the most part human beings identify with their physical body. When we start to do yoga our bodies are energized and we are often, during bow pose or triangle, reminded quickly of how are bodies feel. We often think of ourselves in physical terms or perhaps at best, as a physical body and a mind. The truth is that the human being is made up of ten bodies. The physical body, three mental bodies and six energy bodies.
The ten bodies are:
1. The Soul Body: Your connection to your inner infinity. When the soul body is strong you live from the heart and not from the head.
2. The Negative Mind:Helps you to give form to the creativity of your Soul Body, with the gifts of containment, form, and discernment. It instills in you a longing to belong driving you to connect to your own God self, giving you patience to be obedient to your own inner guidance.
3. The Positive Mind: Sees the positive essence of all situations and beings. It is expansive and allows resources in. It gives you a strong will and allows you to use your power easily and humbly.
4. The Neutral Mind: From here, the Meditative Mind, you look at the whole play of life with compassion. This mind evaluates the input of your Negative and Positive Minds (as well as the rest of the bodies) and gives guidance within 9 seconds. It is a very intuitive vantage point, and allows you to access your soul.
5. The Physical Body: This is the temple where the 9 bodies play out their parts.
6. Arcline: It gives you the ability to focus, to be concentrated, to meditate. It give one the ability to use the intuition of your sixth center to protect yourself, so that you can deal with the stresses of life without shutting down the heart.
7. Aura: This is the electromagnetic field of the body. When strong, it acts as a container for your life force, and allows that life force to build up to a level where you feel confident and secure. When strong your presence will uplift.
8. Pranic Body: Through the breath, your Pranic Body continuously brings the life force and energy into the system. Allowing one to feel fully alive Fearless and at one with all of creation.
9. Subtle Body: This allows one to see beyond the immediate realities of life to the sublime universal play that lies beyond. When strong you have a great finesse and powerful calmness.
10. Radiant Body: Gives you spiritual royalty and radiance. giving you strength and courage in the face of any obstacle.
The ten bodies are powerful capacities of the psyche. Each body has specific gifts that manifest when strong, and certain deficit tendencies that surface when weak.
"If you understand that you are these Ten Bodies, and you are aware of those Ten Bodies, and you keep them in balance, the whole universe will be in balance with you." -Yogi Bhajan
The above descriptions of the ten bodies came from The Aquarian Teacher level one text book pg.201-203
We will follow with the LAYA YOGA MEDITATION
Mantra: The (Adi Shakti Mantra) version for Laya Yoga.
Laya Yoga is: Merging the finite with the infinite. The use of the sound and mantra with rhythm and a sensitivity to its subtle structure. Yogi Bhajan said that the eleventh body was represented by the sound current, the wellspring of infinity from which all mantras originate.
Ek ong kaar-(uh) saa-taa-naa-ma siree wha-(uh) hay guroo
This eight part (ashtang) mantra corresponds to the body's eight energy centers (7 chakras, plus aura). These eight words are the "code" letters or the phone number of the direct line to connect you, the creature, with your creator. It was the first mantra Yogi Bhajan taught in the United States. This mantra creates a responsive interrelationship between you and the universal creative energy.
