SODARCHAN CHAKRA KRIYA
by CHRIS MERRILL
Released on July 28, 2017
Simple, relaxing music to complement this advanced breathing technique. Music employs strings, melody and a gentle beat to indicate breathing patterns.
Track 1: Sodarchan 11 mins (Medium)
A classic approach to Sodarchan, using the ratio of 1:4:2 for maximum effectiveness, thereby combining the breath ratio with mantra, with physical kriya. This 11 minute track is perfect for most people to start with. Take the first 8 beats to get accustomed to the speed of the music, and then begin on the 9th beat (3rd bar), inhaling for 4 counts, holding the breath and mentally chanting the mantra Wa He Guru 16 times, then exhaling for 8 beats. Continue in this pattern for all 11 minutes. For complete instructions on performing this technique, please read “Lifting the veil” by Dr. Joseph Michael Levry, available at www.rootlight.com.
Track 2: Sodarchan 31 mins (Slow)
Still using this classing ratio of 1:4:2 for maximum effectiveness, this is a longer, more advanced approach to the same exercise, lasting a full 31 mins.
Track 3: Sodarchan 62 mins (Very Slow)
This track is for advanced practice, still utilizing the breath ratio 1:4:2. Track is a full 62 mins for extended practice by advanced practitioners.
