An ancient secret 

CONTENTS OF THE YEAR OF TRAINING "FRESH SOURCE" (FORM I.II.III)

The first consciousness 

"The first one is a very simple training method," Bradford said. "The ultimate goal is to make the chakras swirl again. You often see this movement in children as they play. joke. 

"In this first consciousness, all you need to do is stretch your arms out horizontally. Then you turn around until you get a little dizzy. One thing you have to keep in mind is; spin. from left to right. In other words, if you put the clock on the floor in front of you, then you have to turn clockwise. "Most older people can only turn about 6 times before they feel dizzy. As a beginner, I recommend not going beyond 6 cycles. Then, if you feel dizzy, you can sit or lie down to let it ease. I used to do the same at first. In short, to start, you should only practice this first one until you feel slightly dizzy. Then gradually, after practicing all 5, you will be able to spin more and more rounds without feeling dizzy as you started. 

"In addition to minimizing dizziness, you can also follow the dancers' approach. Before you start spinning, focus your vision on a single point in front of you, and when starting. spin, turn your gaze to that point for as long as possible Finally, you'll have to leave it out of sight, so that your head can rotate with your body. can point your eyes as soon as possible on that point. It is this "benchmark" that helps you avoid dizziness and avoid embarrassment. " 

[Additional notes of the person who practiced this: When spinning should take a deep breath and exhale long. When turned, the feet must move, so keep the heels on each other. That will help me feel balanced because I always feel like there's a fulcrum on my feet or in other words, I feel like I'm on a shaft. If not, I will spin the whole room and maybe my hands will touch the surrounding objects] 

"When I was still in India, I was surprised to see the Maulawiyah (Islamic monks) constantly spinning in their religious dances. After having educated the lama on this first practice, I suddenly remembered two things related to this practice: One is that these monks always rotate in one direction from left to right or in other words clockwise. often have to turn around in rituals, often seem healthier and more robust than their peers. 

"When I raised this issue with the lama, he explained that this rotation of people has a very useful effect, but at the same time it is harmful. In addition, he also said the rotation excessively stimulated a number of chakras to the point that they eventually exhausted, which results in first increasing the flow of prana, the vital force of life, and then doing it. This act of constructing and ripping it out causes Muslim clergy to experience a state of "mental shock" (to enter hell) and cause them to deviate from the path of religion. and its sublime spiritual value. 

And Bradford went on: "But lamas never take the awakening to an outrageous state. While the rabbis can turn themselves hundreds of times, the lamas only practice it a dozen times. or a little more, just enough to put the chakras into action. 

The second consciousness 

Bradford continued: "The first consciousness is the second consciousness and the goal of this consciousness is to stimulate further seven chakras. This consciousness is as simple as the first consciousness. In this consciousness the practitioner must lie on The floor should be on a thick rug or a flat mattress, lamas practice this ritual on a rug Westerners often call prayer mats; wool carpets quite thick and its purpose is to prevent the body from being contaminated by the cold of the floor. 

"Once you have your back straight, straighten your arms down your hips, palms face down on the floor, keeping your fingers together. Next, you lift your head up, grab your chest. In When doing so, lift your legs up, knees straight, in a vertical position.If possible, let your feet rise upwards toward the head, but keep the knees straight. 

"Then slowly drop your head and lower legs to the floor while your knees stay upright. Relax all your muscles afterwards, practice this practice again. During the practice follow the breath like after: take a deep breath when you lift your head and your legs up, exhale all the way down when you lower your head and legs In between exercises, while you relax your muscles, continue to breathe in at a moderate pace The deeper you breathe, the better. 

"If you can't keep your knees straight, you can bend them to the extent necessary. But if you continue this practice, try to keep the knees as straight as possible. 

"A lama told me that when he first practiced this practice, he was so weak and weak that he could not lift his feet in an upright position. by raising his legs in a curved position and with that posture, his knees are straight but his legs are tingling.Then slowly, little by little, he can stretch his legs straight out and 3 months later he was able to straighten them easily ". 

Mr. Bradford continued: 

"This strange Lama brought me quite a few surprises. When I told me about it, he was a completely fresh and healthy person, although I knew that he was much older than me. One of his joys was to try to carry a basket of fresh vegetables weighing a few hundred pounds from the garden to the monastery up the mountain, a few hundred feets away. neither did he stop to rest, and when he got there he did not seem to be out of breath. moves as easily as he does and doesn't need a stick anymore. But here's another story. " 

The third consciousness 

"This third consciousness needs to be practiced right after the second. Like the previous one, this consciousness is also very simple. All you have to do is kneel on the floor and keep your body upright, With your hands close to your thighs, then tilt your head and neck forward, your chin tucked in to your chest, then tilt your head and neck back as far as possible, at the same time leaning back, bending your spine completely. If you are bent, hold your arms and hands on your thighs for support. 

"Just like the second, in this third you have to regulate breathing as prescribed. You have to breathe deeply when bending the spine and exhale when returning to the upright posture. "It is very helpful because you can put oxygen into your lungs as much as possible." I have seen this scene of 200 Lama simultaneously practicing this. For the sake of mind or to say other than to focus on the mind, they all close their eyes to remove the constraints of the outside world and can focus on themselves. 

"Thousands of years ago the lamas understood that all the answers to the mysteries of life were found within themselves. They discovered that all the properties combined to creating a life that we all have within us, which is a view that Westerners cannot understand because, according to them, life is molded by the uncontrollable forces of people. For example, most Westerners think that the human body cannot avoid aging and degradation because it is the law of nature. Ma understood that it was an illusion to comfort himself. 

"Lamas, especially those living in the monastery I have been blessed with, have dedicated to the world a great thing and this is done on a universal level. From this level, they rise above the movements of the physical world so that they can observe and monitor humanity around the world in order to bring it many good things .END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.19/2/2020.
