Kay Stairyam (Body Stillness) : Self management technique

You all will be agreeing with this statement i.e. there is a deep relation between body and mind. Practices of Hatha Yoga are based on same Principle - Cleansing of the mind through cleansing of the body. Practice of Kayasthairyam is also based on same principle - Stillness of the body : Stillness of the mind.

Why this stillness is so important? Because all the major or minor accidents are due to the fluctuation of the mind only. Just control over your nerves and all the success is in your hand.

How to practice Kaya stairyam? Sit comfortably in any meditative posture. Keep your eyes closed and try to normalize your breath. Become aware of the outer environment. With your closed eyes try to observe the surroundings. Slowly shift your awareness on your body and rotate your awareness on different body parts. Observe the stillness of the body. Say yourself I will not move, I will not move, I will not move.

Now the mind game starts......... Just feel that your body is made up of water molecules……… There is too much cold outside and the water molecules are getting freeze. Slowly all your body parts are going to be convert into Ice. As the time being it will become more tough and hard. Now the body is like a statue made up of Ice………….. You can think, you can observe, you can analyze everything but can’t move because you are a statue…………. Observe Total Stillness of the body……….. Be in the same feeling until you are enjoying the practice. There will be no thought, no anxiety, and no negativity in your mind. Experience the inner silence and just observe the control over your mind

Don’t quit the practice suddenly. Just become aware of the body and the surroundings. Slowly move your toes and figures. Rub your palm and sack your eyes. Gently open your eyes. Practice of Kayasthairyam is over.

This is the time to observe the effect of this practice. You will find a total fresh mind for your new job. Just do it now and let me know your experiences.
