He categorized the complete range of pranayama or respiration techniques in to three parts – Equalizing, Vitalizing, and Balancing – scientifically description the strategy and technique of every pranayama in progressive stages. He revived the classical raja yoga technique of pratyahara anantarmouna to affect the activities of the facets of the mind. Different well-liked meditation techniques that he tutored embody the mantra repetition observe of ajapajapa and also the concentration practice of Trataka. He additionally developed Yoga Nidra, which is from the traditional Tantric system of Nyasa as a scientific methodology for inducement of complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation.

The technique of Bihar school includes eight stages:

  • Preparation/Internalization
  • Relaxation
  • Sankalpa/Resolution
  • Rotation of consciousness
  • Breath awareness
  • Manifestation of opposites/ Rapid Visualization
  • Repeating Sankalpa/Resolution
  • Externalization.

Yoga Nidra It is a state of mind between wakefulness and sleep, which we enable practitioners to go on to the deep sleep without losing their consciousness.

In Yoga Nidra most effective means of practice is found in Sankalpa, which means resolution or positive affirmation. As our subconscious mind is obedient disciple it receives what we guided and in Yoga Nidra, we get to access all states of mind and Sankalpa is one, which uses our subconscious mind.

The technique is often used for psychic, physiological rest and rejuvenation. Yoga Nidra is among the deepest states of relaxation whereas it still maintaining full consciousness. The regular observation of yoga relaxation has been found to scale back tension and anxiety. The involuntary symptoms of high anxiety-like headache, giddiness, chest pain, palpitations, and sweating, and abdominal pain respond well.

When individuals head to sleep, they are doing not unburden all, they carry their frustration, miseries, sorrows, conflicts, turmoil’s with them, that leaves tension in body and mind. Mental tensions are the results of excessive mental activity; a mind is sort of a whirlpool, which can bind us in. At that moment our Buddhi (intellectual mind) is working, however, once you relax your intellect and permit the subconscious and unconscious levels of the mind to open, we have a tendency to stop troubleshooting. It’s for this reason that we have a tendency to set the Sankalpa (resolution).

Yoga Nidra is often practiced at your own place by listening recorded verbal directions or is often practiced underneath associate knowledgeable.

Every step has its unique and defined set of instructions to follow and more importantly through using these basic rules anyone can create their unique Yoga Nidra session.

When it comes to preparations it consists of muscle relaxation, awareness of sound, space and touch and affirmations, etc.

In Sankalpa, a positive intention which is brief, clear, and concise and should make it with faith and conviction. When it comes to rotation of awareness it should be systematic and momentum and in awareness or breath, can count the breaths or awareness of mantra and emotions along with breath can also be done. While finishing it with externalization, which is basically, means to bring an aspirant back to the original conscious waking state.

Yoga Nidra should be practiced after asana or pranayama or after some physical stretch. It can be practiced for 3/4 times a week to get best results. Starting with simple technique that is to start from 4 stages and followed by complex would be recommended for the aspirants.

Cyclic Meditation

Cyclic Meditation

Another methodology of Meditation developed in Vivekananda Kendra is Cyclic Meditation (C.M). A cyclic of alternating stimulation and relaxation is tool used make aspirants to reach the state of deep silence. A verse found within the ‘Gauda Pada Karika’ (commentary) of Mandukya Upanishad is the inspiration of this technique.

Laye sambodhayet cittam viksiptam samayet punah
Sakasayam vijaniyat samapraptam Na calayet. (Man. Karika-II.44)

(Meaning: Stimulate and awaken the sleeping mind, cool down the distractions, acknowledge the innate stagnation and keep in steadiness while not heavy it.)

In day-to-day life, we tend to relax deeply, though unconsciously, by stretching and restful through yawning. In Cyclic Meditation we tend to stretch consciously and consistently in a systematic order and then relax in standing asana like Pada Hastasana, Ardha Chakrasana, and Ardhakati Chakrasana and additionally relaxing using sitting asanas like Shashankasana and Ushtrasana. This provides stimulation at the muscular level. The method begins with Tadasana that helps to center our body. All the asanas performed with a slow speed maintaining internal awareness (observing, as a Sakshi, numerous changes within the system with eyes closed). Before beginning Cyclic Meditation, one should relax through a method known as I.R.T (Instant Relaxation Technique).

Instant Relaxation Technique: Lie down in supine position (in the position of Savasana). Tighten all the muscles from toes to head, half by half, and after tightening the entire body, relax the complete body instantaneously. This could also be practiced sitting on a chair to induce fast relaxation. It hardly takes few minutes of your time with instant relaxation to your body.

After active standing postures slowly, with awareness, one should perform which is called technique Q.R.T. (Quick Relaxation Technique). It takes 5-8 minutes.

Q.R.T: Coming back to Savasana. Observe the movement of abdominal muscles. Try to be aware of the movements of the abdominal wall going up and down, slowly and gently. With an inhalation, the wall rises up. Feel energized with every inhalation. With an exhalation, the wall collapses. Feel relaxed with every exhalation. Merge in deep silence by chanting gracefully one ‘A’ Kara (AAA sound).

After gently developing in sitting position from Q.R.T., perform slowly with awareness Shashankasana and Ushtrasana (Ardha Ushtrasana, if Ushtrasana not possible). Change posture back again in to Savasana for the technique called as DRT (also known as Deep Relaxation Technique). Here bringing awareness to each and everybody part-by-part starting from the toes to the head, which will take 10-15 minutes. After that, slowly sit down in deep silence for some time to witness the changes in the body and mind.

Apart from muscular stimulation in C.M., we tend to use sound (chanting of Akara, Ukara, Makara, and Omkara) and visual (attuning to the immense ocean) stimulations furthermore to travel deeper in silence.

This description is simply an introduction to the technique cyclic meditation, not the detailed technique. One ought to practice C.M. under a professional Yoga teacher.
