For Thyroid & Parathyroid

November 13, 1973

This kriya is an ancient Siamese practice, originally taught by the Indian Rishi, Siama, when Siam (now Thailand) was part of India and known as Siamdesh. It works to stimulate the thyroid and parathyroid glands, balancing the body’s electrocharge. Practicing it honestly can help preserve eyesight and is said to prevent blindness. 

This kriya is a necessary preparation for deep meditation, guiding the practitioner toward the realization of both nothingness and everything simultaneously.
