Balancing & meditating at home

Clearing the Right Side Clearing the Left Side (Over emotional and dwelling in the past) For tingling, heat or heaviness on the left hand: • left hand on lap, palm upwards. • place the right hand on the earth, or direct it towards the earth. Clearing the Right Side (Over planning and excessive mental or physical activity) For tingling, heat or heaviness on the right hand: • right hand on lap, palm upwards. • bend the left arm at the elbow and direct the palm towards the back.

Footsoaking Best done at the end of the day. • Sit comfortably in a chair with hands on lap, palms upwards. • Place feet in a bowl of cool to warm water with a handful of table salt. • Meditate for around 10 to 15 mins. • Rinse and dry feet. Flush water down the toilet and wash hands.

Clearing using the Elements 1. Earth The Earth elements helps the whole left side and also the first chakra (Mooladhara). Sit on the ground or grass, with left hand palm up and the right hand flat on the earth. Each of the five elements (earth, fire, water, air and ether) relate closely to a particular chakra of the subtle system. This means that the element can assist in nurturing and cleansing that chakra. Below we illustrate some of the ways the elements may be used to help the subtle system. Remember to use moderation, don’t be rigid with any techniques. See what works for you - eg if you can’t sit on the ground, use a chair. 4. Fire (b) To clear chakras on the left side, sit for meditation and with a candle carefully rotate the flame in small circles around the chakra in a clock-wise direction. Use candles only on the chakras on the left channel. 5. Air The Air element helps the whole right side and also the fourth chakra (Heart). Pay attention to your breathing, gently taking a few deep breaths. Place right hand on the centre heart while doing this. 6. Ether The Ether element (which is invisible in the air) helps the fifth chakra (Visshuddhi). Outside, tilt the head back and look at the blue sky. Allow your attention to flow into the majesty of the sky and take some deep breaths. 2. Water The Water element helps the whole right side and also the third chakra (Nabhi) and the Void. Put the feet in the ocean and meditate. Drinking water and applying an icepack to the liver area may help in cooling the right side. 3. Fire (a) The Fire element helps the whole left side and particularly the second chakra (Swadisthan). To clear the left side, sit for meditation and hold the left hand towards a candle. Always use care not to have candles too close.

Tips for staying in balance during the day… • Daily meditation. • Looking at the sky, mother earth, nature. • Close eyes, bring the attention inside & top of head. • Hand and attention on the left heart, the Spirit. • Raise the kundalini. • Take attention to breathing. Awareness of breathing.
