Hello dear,
As we are going deep with all things vision, vitality, and shaping our future, I thought I’d share a kundalini meditation called The Inner Sun — Immune System Booster with you. I’d refer to it as “the vitality meditation”, as it involves this surya mudra (tip of the ring finger + thumb touching), the mudra for Sun energy and vitality. Everything is explained in the video.
You can practice it every day, starting with 3 minutes and increasing the time as you go, or most days if you prefer, the best is to have your head covered for the practice. Why not start a 40-day challenge with the energy of the Spring Equinox? You’ll be so glad you did this for yourself…
Bonus point if you practice it every day and keep a meditation tracker or journal to report how you felt after the practice!
Infinite blessings,
Ardas Chandra
Let me know how it is going!

Pregnant or on the first 3 days of your period? no Breath of Fire, please practice the meditation with Long Deep Breathing instead. The posture and mudra remain the same though.
Immune System Booster: The Inner Sun
The Practice
Posture: Sit in Easy Pose, with a light jalandhar bandh and the head covered.
Mudra: Bend the left arm and raise the hand up to shoulder level with the palm facing forward. Touch the ring finger's tip to the thumb's tip (Surya Mudra).
Make a fist with the right hand, pressing the tips of the fingers into the pads at the base of the fingers. Extend the index finger and use it to gently close off the right nostril.
Focus: Concentrate at the Brow Point.
Breath: Begin a steady, powerful Breath of Fire through the left nostril, making sure to emphasize the rhythm and movement of the navel point.
Continue for 3 minutes.
To end: inhale deeply and hold your breath. Interlace the fingers with the right thumb over the left and position the hands just below the throat (in front of the thymus), about 14 inches (35 cm) away from the body. Keeping your fingers laced tight, try to pull them apart with all your might. Resist and create great tension. Squeeze as long as you can before exhaling and relaxing the tension in your hands and arms.
Repeat this sequence 3 more times. On the last exhale, discharge the breath by blowing through your upturned lips, with the tongue curled back on the roof of the mouth to seal the upper palate. Then relax.
You can very gradually increase the time to 5 minutes.
Comments: This advanced immune therapy strengthens your body’s ability to fight viruses and bacteria. The immune system is intimately connected with the central nervous system, the glands, and the emotions. When we experience chronic feelings of anger, self-defeat, and blame, we can create emotional blocks that deplete the immune system.
This meditation uses a type of breathing called “sunbreath” to stimulate and adjust the sympathetic nervous system and the right brain hemisphere, which stores many of the negative emotions that lead us to depression and to a lower-functioning immune system.
You may cycle through various emotions as the glandular system starts to shift. Relax and keep going until you are through the emotional inertia and begin to feel more light, energized, and hopeful.
