Meditation to Handle a Grave Situation

October 29, 1979

This ancient meditation is designed to resolve inner conflict by engaging the breath and the pranic body. It uses the body’s natural ability to adapt when the breath is held out, activating the pranic body to balance and harmonize other bodies. This process enhances efficiency at the cellular level, helping the body survive and thrive even in challenging conditions.

If practiced for even as little as 5 minutes, this meditation can help you effectively address even the gravest situations, offering clarity and calmness. With regular practice, it fosters resilience and helps navigate life’s challenges with greater ease.
