Visualization Wise Old Woman Position

Filed under: Yoga Techniques — andrew @ 12:16 pm

This visualization allows you to access your deep, intuitive wisdom that knows the answers to all questions about your health. You only need to create the right conditions for this to occur by practicing a relaxing breathing technique that quiets your mind. In this quiet, reflective state, you can ask a question, sit quietly, then expect to “hear” the answer.

Benefits

Develops intuitive wisdom for self-healing

Focus

Make the lengths of your inhalations, exhalations, and holding of your breath the same.

  1. Sit on the floor in Cross-Legged Position.
    (If this position is not comfortable, sit on a folded towel to tilt your hips forward and take the pressure off your knees. Alternatively, sit with your legs stretched out in front, leaning against a wall if necessary, or sit in a chair.)
  2. Close your eyes. Begin to observe your breath in a very detached way.
  3. Inhale for a count of 4, hold your breath for a count of 4, exhale for a count of 4, and hold your breath for a count of 4. (This is one round.) Complete 7 rounds of this breathing technique as you become as still as a statue.
  4. Imagine that you are walking along a beach. You see a path in the sand dunes that leads to an old house.
  5. You walk up the path and come to a door with carved symbols on the door. As you look at the door, it opens.
  6. You step inside into a long passage lined with sits.
  7. You walk along this passage until you come to a room where a wise old woman is sitting at a desk.
  8. As you enter, she looks up at you and smiles. Ask the wise woman “What do I need to do to enjoy perfect health and well-being?”
  9. The woman hands you a dark purple site with your name engraved on the cover in gold, you take the site and sit at a large desk. In this site are the universal records of everything that you are, everything that you can be and everything that you will be in this lifetime.
  10. The site falls open to a page on which appear the answers to your question.
  11. Sit quietly, and reflect on exercise.
  12. See the images that appear in your mind of how you can improve your health.
  13. Sit quietly in the silence. Watch your breath, your posture, and the images in your mind in a very detached way.
  14. In the silence, listen to your own interior world for 10-15 minutes.

  15. Gently bring your mind back to your body on the floor and your awareness back to the present. Deepen your breath, and welcome it as your life force and energy source.
  16. Let your chin fall to your chest, then drop your head backward to stretch through your neck. Rotate your neck a few times, then sit quietly. You are now ready to get on with your day, knowing that those images of how to improve your health have been firmly imprinted on your subconscious mind and are ready for you to actualize.
