Conquering old age is the greatest challenge posed to human kind and his most fertile mind. We have to embark on a new reverse journey, against the Natural ageing currents of life, but this reverse journey of generating ordered life currents is the most enjoyable journey – the journey of rejuvenation for our total body/mind system. How happy and victorious we feel, when we swim a noticeable distance against the water current in a canal or river.
All of us want to become immortal but mortality is written within our genes. God has made our body in-mortal, not immortal and now, we have to convert N to M to become immortal. How? Through the thought of MYSELF — ‘I Am’, then this in-mortal will become immortal because thought is our BEING. If we think and act young, we become young.
We have come in this world through sex, and they say you are as young as your sex glands. If you can keep your sex activity alive, your will live on & on. And ‘L’ is the seed word for basic sex Muladhara Chakra, located between the bottom of the spine and the genital organ. It strengthens the sex glands and gives power to the legs. Dwindling sex and dwindling gait are the first signs of old age. The word ‘L’ gives power to the legs as well as to the sex glands, through its resonant sonic energy. The word ‘L’ also helps to kindle the Kundalini-the dormant life energy battery currents to move up as effulgence in the crown of the Head for which the seed word is ‘M’.
When we fall ill, our breath becomes shallow, so we are as young as the depth of our breath. Make your life breath deeper and longer and you live as long as you wish. That is why the word for living long, long life in English is LONGEVITY.
1. Thus Inhale with = LONG
Exhale with = GEVITY or GIJEVITY
The total Inhale mantra becoming LONG-GIJEVTTY. Make longevity your breath, Inhale long and deep. With the Inhale word ‘LONG’ you can inhale as deep as you want, and it yokes us with infinity – the super-consciousness to draw in as much pranic life energy to rejuvenate our total BEING, to live as long as you wish. According to Hindu thought, we come into this world with certain fixed number of breaths. If we can make our breath slow and long, then we can live longer. So make life breath as long as you can, as deep as you can and you can live longer and longer. The Urdu/ Hindi language word for agelessness is ‘LAFFANF, again starting with the word ‘L’.
(2) Thus Inhale with = LAFFAN
Exhale with = Nl/ NEWFILL
As if, we are filling our being – our life battery with new charge. Thus we are rejuvenating by recharging our life battery with pranic life energy, with the word ‘F’, seed word for lungs; to help to fulfill the lungs with pranic Energy.
(3) In order to conquer old age, we have to re- kindle the FIRE of our Body engine i.e. increase our metabolic rate to digest food properly. Our metabolic rate decreases by about five percent every ten years, after we cross the peak youth age of 25 years. In order to increase the FIRE of our body engine, we use the resonant sonic power of the word ‘R’ the seed word for Manipur/ Navel Chakra/ Solar plexus. A simple English word ‘MIRROR’ gives double stress on R and can activate the total abdominal glandular system for reactivating our metabolism.
Thus Exhale with = MIRROR
Inhale with = ARRAM
If we Inhale/ Exhale with the above mantra for one minute every morning and one minute in the evening, the glass mirror will start showing that wrinkles from our face have started slowly disappearing. So you are as young as your Engine Fire Power. Re-establish it with the above breathing mantra.
(4) But fire needs fuel to burn. So, we have to feed ourself with the balanced natural diet of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals to our body engine in their required proportion to supply glycogen and nutrients to all the cells of our body through the circulation of blood by the Heart/ Lungs system. Thus make nutrition your breath.
Exhale with = NUTRITION
Spoken as NOOTTREESHUN
Inhale with = ASHA — TRANN
This breathing’ mantra strengthens the left brain (N) and all the conscious sense endings in our brain with words N & T. As we age, the eye sigh I becomes dim. This mantra will strengthen the eyes and will cure eye defects like Myopia, Hypermetropia and cataract, and even glaucoma defect.
(5) And they say, we are as young as our brain, make the suggestive mantra “I AM BRAINY” as your breath.
Thus Exhale with = I AM BRAINY
Inhale with = BRANNAM
This mantra helps us to breathe to our optimal lungs/abdomen capacity with the help of the seed word ‘BR’, and this mantra also strengthens the left brain (N) as well as the right brain (M) and the words N & M together strengthen both the pituitary and pineal glands, which together direct the total glandular activity in our body/mind system, thus boosting our total immune system. Though, we have activated the pituitary and pineal glands with the above mantra, but so far we have forgotten to activate the thyroid gland individually which helps to control both carbohydrate and fat metabolism in our body and also boosts the communication link between the body and the brain, through the cervical region of the spine. The seed word for Throat/Vishudha chakra is ‘H’. For this :
(6) Inhale with = SAHHAM
Exhale with = MIHHISH
This mantra helps to cure cervical spondylitis.
(7) And in order to conquer old age, we must also concur with nature. Let us not exceed the biological limits of our body/mind system and load it with unnecessary stress. Make concurring with nature as your breath: –
Exhale with = I AM CONCURRING
Inhale with = ARRA-KAN-NAMMANG
This mantra also helps to re-establish the communication links within brain with the help of words – K,N, M&G and also increases the fire in our body with the help of the word ‘R’.
(8) And in order to conquer old age, we also have to have that great spirit of conquering – that great will – power – that committment – that great purposeful actions to conquer old age.
Make the spirit of conquering your breath.
Exhale with = I AM CONQUERING
Inhale with = ARRA-YAKA-NAMMANG
As compared to mantra No.7, this mantra includes the word Y (U), which strengthens the heart for proper circulation of blood.
(9) And as we grow old, our liver becomes sluggish, and our assimilation processes become slow. In order to improve thi$ :-
Exhale with = IMPROVE LIVER – JEE
Inhale with = LAVARA – JAPAMMA
This will completely rejuvenate our body.
(10) And last, but not the least, let me stress that that when we grow old, the communication links between the brain, the memory and the body get slowly partially blocked, resulting in causing old age diseases like Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. For that we have to rejuvenate the total body/mind/memory system:-
Exhale with = HI – YOU WILL RECOMMUNICATE
Inhale with = ALLA – VARA – YAHA -KAMANAKANT
This Exhale/ Inhale mantra, besides being very suggestive, is the fountain of longevity and has the power to cure people of the dreaded diseases like Parkinson’s disease as well as Alzheimer’s disease to which a separate chapter has been devoted in this book.
This breathing mantra encompasses all the conglomerates of energy centres called wheels or chakras in our body, which control the total glandular activity in our body. They say, we are as EFFICIENT as our glands.
Let us breathe ten times with each of the above breathng mantras, both in the morning and evening, by speaking the mantra silently, smoothly, rhythmically and as non-violently as possible, so as to simulate the natural breathing as nearly as possible. It will take about ten minutes or so. SO DOING, we have conquered the old age.
