Jala Neti Experience By Shivanand

Jala Neti A Physical Nasal Cleansing And The Connections To The Higher

Jala Neti the Cleansing of our Nasal Passage with Salty-Water is worth a thousand try’s. Imagine yourself drinking the water coming out from the tab in your 10million habitants City where the water passes trough miles of artificial pipes cleaned here and there from all the toxins which are settling after a while in the water from all the Industries. The Water tastes good compared to all the water you drank somewhere else. Thats your condition trough all your life, you think you have the best water till you go to the Spring, where the water after 10, 100 or even 1000 years being in Gaja getting cleaned, nourished and mineralized and you taste this fresh pure water. Your knowledge and way of seeing the water you drank at Home will change and the same happens with our breath after Jala Neti. Worlds in between the breath before and after the cleansing. Washing out all the mucus,pollution,dust and blockages physical and spiritual. Also we activate our 3 Eye Chakra with this technique where we get the bridge between the physical Cleaning and the spirutal awakaning, which happens trough spiritual purification or cleaning.

I am Paramanand Ashram for more than 4 months now. Today under the guidance of Guruji (Dr. Omanand), we did it again, in the morning i started my day with Sutra Neti (like i do every 2-3 Days now), one different Nasal Cleansing technique out of our Shatkarmas, where we enter a rubber (or cotton) thread trough our nostril and bringing it out from our mouth. We prepared the water with the right amount of Salt (like Ocean Water) and started alternating pouring 2 Neti Lota’s trough each nostril. After this, cleaning and drying of our nasal passage by exhaling forcefully (without pressure we don’t wanna strain anything) first trough each nostril and than together trough both. after we finished we went inside and laid down in Shavasna with the awareness on our Ajna Chakra, the place of the 3 Eye.

First I felt how my breath is enterin via my nostrils passing trough the space between our Eyebrows, which is also called Bhrumadhya, and filling it up with this fresh and pure spring Water (Prana), then it went down in my whole body and I experienced the flow of pran everywhere in my body, not just entering in my lungs like ordinary (unaware) breathing, no even further down till my toes. After a while i started to realize that not just my nostrils are breathing, also my legs started breathing and expanding with every inhale, and shrinking with every exhale i did. Further on my whole body started feeling like this, like my body become a bellows. Than i felt my hands disappearing and resolving in its surroundings becoming one with that I’ve been never separated from, but our mind thinks like that. My body became lighter and lighter. When Guruji called us back I’ve started to realize heatwave’s going trough my whole body from head to toes. I slowly started moving my fingers which felt, still, not connected to me, like they are not there anymore but with the intension to come back i was able to move them a bit what was a strange but not uncomfortable feeling. After this i set up and with rubbing my palms i came back in a totally relaxed and comfortable state of being.

Om Shanti
