Section: eN-Fitness Yogic Body Vedic Mind

Content: Have you ever thought a strong fitness workout could actually be a spiritual practice to bring about a deeper transformation in your Body, Mind and Being?

Section: eN-Fitness Yogic Body Vedic Mind

Content: eN-FitnessSM is a much more than the common fitness programs offered in the world. It is a unique approach to holistic fitness, combining modern weight-training and traditional Yogic techniques with the eternal truths of yoga. This program is designed to prepare your Body and Mind for the Inner Awakening, to take you to the advaitic experience, the experience of Oneness, and radiate your innermost potential energy, inner bliss, nithya-ananda.

Section: eN-Fitness Yogic Body Vedic Mind

Content: In today's world, our minds are extremely agitated, and strongly impacted by the stressful environment. Our sedentary bodies are used to diets containing unnecessary fats, sugars, chemical substances and hormones. Modern human beings have evolved into a completely new species, with obesity, diabetes, heart diseases becoming prevalent in the general population.

Section: eN-Fitness Yogic Body Vedic Mind

Content: Rishis, Masters, and enlightened beings throughout the ages have all tapped into an unlimited reservoir of energy through time-tested techniques of meditation, yoga, kriyas, mantras, worship, prayers and so on. These enlightened beings have designed thousands of ways to connect consciously with the higher energies of the Cosmos. Again and again, enlightened souls happen on the planet to revive and update the science of enlightenment.

Section: eN-Fitness Yogic Body Vedic Mind

Content: eN-FitnessSM is a body-mind spiritual practice specially designed by Paramahamsa Nithyananda to meet the needs of today's society. eN-FitnessSM will teach you how to build a healthy yogic body, a high-achieving mind tuned to the 4 powers of Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching, and a complete inner space established in a deep fulfillment and bliss!

Section: The Science of eN-Fitness

Content: Are you getting enough life-energy? Prana, which is the life force behind movement, can also be described as the binding force of the universe. It is said that all birth and death in the universe are a result of prana. Our very life is the expression of this energy.

Content: One obvious way to access the life energy or prana, is through the breath. Our breath is life. It is not just oxygen. It is the bridge between our physical body and the subtle domains of our being, our mind and our emotions.

Content: Paramahamsa Nithyananda shares an important secret: in order to access and activate the subtle life energy in the body, we must experience one thousand two hundred long breaths during physical exercise. Long breath means that while exhaling through the nose during the peak of physical effort, the breath or the airflow, should be “felt down to the knees”. This is the kind of intensity of breath we are seeking in the workout.

Content: The 1,200 breaths activates the subtle life energy current which runs through the entire body, what is called samana. Samana is the energy absorbed by every pore of the skin directly from the space around us. So when samana is balanced, the whole skin will breathe. This is essential for experiencing the higher states of awareness and bliss.

Content: In yoga, for example, the 1,200 long breaths can be achieved performing 108 rounds (216 repetitions) of Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutations. It’s not difficult! You CAN do it.

Content: Paramahamsa Nithyananada has observed that the breath gets even more active and powerful at the peak of muscular contraction during weight lifting. This is why in eN-Fitness, we add weight-training exercises to the traditional yoga practice.

Content: This manual is your practical guide to the basics of the weight-training component of eN-Fitness. For the yoga and weight

Content: training sequence together, we recommend you follow our online yoga sessions on Nithyananda TV (daily live at 4:00am IST on www.nithyananda.tv), or log on to youtube.com/nithyanandayoga for many creative sessions.

Content: You are energy!

Content: Our bodies not only consist of flesh, blood and bones, but also subtle energy sheaths, centers and channels, koshas, chakras and nadis. These make up our energy bodies. Science has shown the presence of energy bodies, which form auras that can be detected by Kirlean photography.

Content: You are not only a physical body but you exist in 5 energy bodies or Koshas. When you move your physical body, all other bodies are also active. If you understand this basic truth, you can tap into an endless source of Cosmic energy, called the anandamaya kosha or Ananda Gandha. Figure illustrates the 5 energy bodies:

Content: Annamaya Kosha

Content: Pranamaya Kosha

Content: Manomaya Kosha

Content: Vijnanamaya Kosha

Content: Anandamaya Kosha

Content: Your energy moves on subtle planes through chakras and nadis, energy centers and channels, like the organs and nerves of your

Content: physical body. When your energy channels are expanded and flowing, you feel good, joyful, fulfilled, blissful! However, when there is an incompletion, something you are not OK with and stays as a conversation inside you, for example a thought that you are not good looking, that cognition blocks your energy and you feel a constant low mood, like a hangover. The more you brew over that thought and the emotions associated with it, the more it experience becomes part of your muscle memory, your physical body. For you, a simple thought like “I'm not good looking” becomes a physical reality. Is it true? No! It's only your strong belief. But for you it is “reality” as long as you hold on to it. The moment you take a decision based on that cognition, you will never truly feel fulfilled because the base itself has a hole, an incomplete part. It's like you try to fill a bucket of water, with holes at the bottom. How long will it take to fill it?

Content: In the same way, when you sign-up for a fitness program based on an incomplete thought like “I'm not good looking”, you are doing the right action, but for the wrong reason! You will not find true fulfillment. When you build your body through eN-FitnessSM, you align your thoughts and energy authentically to create the highest reality of health and wellbeing on a physical level and a deep peace and fulfillment on a Mind and Being level.

Content: You do not need to allow powerless in your inner space again and again. You can complete with all your incomplete cognitions and transform your reality powerfully, by just one decision!

Content: eN-FitnessSM will teach you the science of re-creating your experience of yourself consciously, by building power, joy and completion into your muscles, and aligning your Being to express Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching. It's a science!

Section: Mind Creates Body

Content: While this truth is becoming more widely accepted by today's scientists, the mystics and masters of the Vedic Tradition have known about it for ages: the Body and Mind are not two separate

Content: entities, they are completely intertwined. The power of your thoughts becomes a physical reality at the body level.

Content: Look at it from a physical standpoint: emotions that are repeatedly and intensely experienced have a strong impact on the body. For each emotion, different glands in the body release different chemicals in response to that emotion. In time, the constant release of stress hormones creates an imbalance in metabolism and body systems, leading to what we call disease. Not only does this show up at the cellular level, it is also visible physically. One look at someone can tell us what state of mind and what emotions this person is experiencing on a regular basis. What is the facial expression of someone who is constantly angry? What is the physical appearance of someone who feels the burden of life? Or someone who feels peace, and feels full confidence and joy in life?

Content: When an incomplete past experience rules your present, you will be responding to stress, fear or greed as outlined above, and these emotions will become your physical reality. We call these memories “incompletions”. The more it becomes your muscle memory, the more your mind will dwell on it. It becomes a vicious circle!

Content: The good news however is that you can relieve and transform all your low-moods and incompletions into a powerful state of wellbeing. This process is completion.

Content: Transforming Your Reality

Content: Paramahamsa Nithyananda says, “Yoga starts with completion.”

Content: The process of completion brings a total transformation to the way you experience life. All you need is to bring intense awareness to your inner space, and be willing to relive and relieve the load of past incidents from your system.

Content: Completion is a powerful process, a process to awaken the innermost intelligence in you. Completion in its complete form happens when you are listening authentically to yourself, your thoughts and feelings. It starts giving its results in your life when

Content: you start listening, and listening becomes a part of your life when you start the completion process. One is connected to the other.

Content: Living in the space of completion means living and acting without carrying either your own, or others' hangover of past incidents, words, actions or memories. It does not mean not remembering your past. It means that the incident or action does not have the power to cause pain, anger or guilt in you anymore. You will not be in the space of feeling powerless. You will feel positive, powerful, energetic and live in the space of anything is possible.

Content: In the context of the eN-Fitness™ practice, we will teach you to “declare” that you are complete before the start of each session. This means taking a conscious decision to drop any hangover emotion and come back to the present moment feeling powerful and blissful.

Content: The more you move and build your body, in the space of completion, the more completion will become part of your muscle memory. It becomes a virtuous circle. Completion is the Ultimate wealth you can create for yourself!

Section: Express The 4 Powers

Content: When you are complete, you become a space for the 4 powers to express through you and bring more and more completion to every cell of your body. The 4 principles of life revealed by Paramahamsa Nithyananda, are absolute, and not only apply to your eN-Fitness practice, but to every aspect of your life. You can decide to build your whole cognition based on these powers and bring breakthrough success in everything you do. The 4 powers are:

Section: Integrity

Content: Integrity is you fulfilling the word you gave to you and to others as if it is your very life, and experiencing state of completion in you and with life is integrity.

Section: Authenticity

Content: At any point in time, Authenticity is you being established in the peak of your capability and responding to life from:

Content: i) Who you perceive yourself to be for yourself - mamakara or your inner image

Content: ii) Who you project yourself to be for others - ahamkara or your outer image

Content: iii) What you feel about others and life - swa-anyakaara or life image

Content: iv) What others think about you and expect you to be for them - anyakaara or others’ image

Content: Being authentic means living to the peak of all the four identities mentioned above.

Section: Responsibility

Content: Living and responding to life from the truth that you are the source of everything, therefore, you are responsible for all happenings in and around you.

Section: Enriching

Content: Enriching is you taking responsibility with integrity and authenticity that you are committed to continuously enriching, which is expanding yourself and life in and around you.

Content: Unless you do not enrich life, life will not enrich you. Expansion in you begins with you causing expansion in others.

Content: In this program, we will briefly outline the process of spontaneous completion, however, we strongly recommend that you go deeper into the transformation, with the 2-days meditation workshop Nithya Dhyaan Yoga and the complete 21-days yoga and meditation retreat Inner Awakening with Paramahamsa Nithyananda, where you will complete at the very DNA level for a permanent change.

Content: Now it is time to get ready for the Inner Awakening! Get ready to enter into the practical sessions, preparing your body and mind to live powerfully.

Section: Waiver of Liability

Content: In using this guide, I completely understand that the practice of eN-FitnessSM includes traditional Yoga movements, including different body postures, as well as the use of weight training exercises with dumbbells of various calibrations. All these physical exercises involve muscular contractions as well as an opportunity for relaxation, stress re-education and relief of muscular tension. As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated.

Content: I understand that eN-FitnessSM is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment. I understand that eN-FitnessSM is not recommended and is not safe under certain medical conditions. I affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether or not to practice eN-FitnessSM. I hereby agree to willfully and irrevocably release and waive any and all personal liability claims that I have now or hereafter may have against Dhyanapeeta Charitable Trust, Life Bliss Foundation, Nithyananda Yoga Foundation, Nithyananda Meditation Academy, its associated or affiliated organizations, their representative and agents, any successor entity, Sri Nithyananda Swami (aka “Swamiji” or “Paramahamsa Nithyananda”), or anyone else involved in the organization, management, administration, marketing and the conducting of the eN-FitnessSM sessions (“sessions”) arising from my participation in the sessions.

Content: I understand that no claims, promises, or guarantees about the individual or group outcome of the sessions are made to the participants. I further certify that I have conferred with a physician and have determined that I am fit and able to participate in the sessions.

Section: Caution

Content: Please consult your doctor prior to embarking on this program. Weight training is and may be contraindicated in certain medical conditions. Exercises are done at your own risk.

Section: Guidelines For Weight Training

Content: 3. Breathing - For beginners, it is not as important how you breathe than that you actually breathe. The correct breathing will take place naturally with practice. Generally, inhale using the belly during the lengthening or eccentric action of the muscle as in lowering of the weight and exhale when lifting the weight (i.e. during the concentric shortening action of the muscle under load). Breathe through the nose during all exercises. Each illustration will indicate the breathing pattern.

Section: Guidelines For Weight Training

Content: 4. Awareness of your posture - Keep your back straight unless otherwise indicated. Engage and brace your abdominal muscles with every movement. This protects your spine and allows a strong foundation to work from.

Section: Guidelines For Weight Training

Content: 5. Repetitions and Sets

Section: Guidelines For Weight Training

Content: Reps = Number of times you lift the weight in one set

Section: Guidelines For Weight Training

Content: Sets = Number of rounds, with a rest of about 15 - 30 seconds between sets

Section: Guidelines For Weight Training

Content: Choose a weight that you are able to lift 12 - 15 reps and be able to finish the last few reps with difficulty but in good form (done correctly).

Section: Week 1 - 2

Content: Beginners: Lighter weight; 12 - 15 reps x 2 sets each exercise. Rest for about 15 - 30 seconds between sets. Intermediate: Heavier weight; 8 - 12 reps x 2 sets each exercise. Rest about 15 - 30 seconds between sets.

Section: Week 3 - 4

Content: Pre-Workout Sequence For Daily Routine

Section: Pre-Workout (1- 5 below)

Content: Duration: 25 - 30 min

Section:

1. Centering and declaring completion (2 min)

Content: Centering and declaring you are complete is the first step to enter the session. It's all about coming to the moment, grounding yourself powerfully. Centering is simply balancing your body, breath and start to come back to the present moment. It can be achieved through a prayer, observing the breath, body awareness, or listening to a sound (bell, light music). The intention here is to open a space for you to explore your own boundaries, to relax from all worries, stresses and “day dreams”, and come to this moment to the reality of your body. From this center, now take a strong decision to be complete. Drop all past incompletions and create a powerful inner space. Only then we can enter the space of Yoga. In fact, anything that follows, the whole class, including weight-training, body postures, breathing, chanting, intention, everything is to simply move in the space of completion, in the flow of this moment, in yoga. Centering will generally happen in a comfortable sitting posture. If necessary, you may sit on a chair, or any other posture that makes you feel at ease.

Content: Sit in a comfortable position

Content: Breathe naturally, witnessing the sensations in your body

Content: Connect to an inner prayer or chant aloud the mantra of Eternal Bliss (audio available online at www. nithyananda.org):

Content: nithyaanandam parama sukhadam | kevalam gnaanamoortim|

Content: dvandvaateetam gagana sadrisham | tattvamasyaadi lakshyam|

Content: ekam nithyam vimalam achalam | sarvadee saakshi bhootam|

Content: bhaavaateetam triguna rahitam | sadgurum tam namaami ||

Section: 2. Breathing (2 - 3 min)

Content: 2. Breathing (2 - 3 min)

Content: Caution: Skip Bhastrika if you have high blood pressure, heart problems, if you are pregnant, or if you have undergone a recent surgery.

Content: After grounding yourself through any centering method, we will take some time to activate the breath. We use 2 traditional breathing techniques - bhastrika and full yogic breathing.

Section: Bhastrika - Bellows

Content: Bhastrika - Bellows

Content: Source: Gheranda Samhita, Upadesha 5, Verses 75, 76 & 77

Content: As the bellows of the ironsmith constantly contract and expand, similarly, the belly muscles pump the breath out and in with equal emphasis on the inhale and exhale. The breaths are short and quick. Exhale sharply pulling the belly in and up then inhale spontaneously allowing the belly to expand. Both inhalation and exhalation are from the nose.

Content: This breathing is like a bellows feeding the digestive fire, the jatar agni. This technique is excellent for removing fatigue or any disorder related to the digestive system.

Section: INSTRUCTIONS

Content: INSTRUCTIONS

Content: Skip this section on bhastrika if you have high blood pressure, hiatal hernia or heart disease.

Content: Sit cross-legged with spine straight, shoulders relaxed. In the beginning, place the hands on upper and lower belly. The hands on the belly will help you to focus there and make sure the belly contracts and rises with the breath like the action of a bellows.

Content: Exhale and inhale from the nose.

Content: Speed: Each exhale and inhale breath is strong, short and quick. Let exhalation time and inhalation time be equal. (i.e. equal emphasis on both). Start slowly, fill the abdomen with air, then exhale forcefully: one exhalation per second and one

Content: inhalation per second. With practice, increase speed to 1 - 2 breaths per second.

Content: Start by exhaling sharply through the nose simultaneously pulling the belly in towards the spine then inhale spontaneously letting the belly expand. Repeat this action rhythmically 21 times for 1 cycle.

Content: Do not strain your body.

Content: Keep the back straight, face and shoulders relaxed.

Content: Keep your awareness on the navel center and the heat generated.

Content: In between cycles, take few deep full yogic breaths (explained below).

Content: Beginners - 1 - 2 cycles Intermediate - 3 cycles

Content: If you feel dizzy, lightheaded or irritable, rest with normal breathing and next time try fewer breaths in a cycle or consult a teacher.

Section: Full Yogic Breath

Content: The full yogic breath is the most efficient way of breathing and expanding the lung capacity and the intake of prana, life energy. Once you master this breath, you will greatly increase your life energy, and remove any tiredness from your body. It should be smooth and effortless without strain - minimum effort with full capacity.

Section: INSTRUCTIONS

Content: Slowly inhale, first allowing the belly to rise and then in a continuous movement, fill the middle section of the lungs up into the top of the chest. Feel the ribs widen.

Section: INSTRUCTIONS

Content: Release on the exhale, slowly drawing the belly as close to the spine as possible and completely empty the upper lobes of the lungs in the chest.

Content: The breathing should be continuous, deep, smooth and slow to your capability.

Content: After few deep breaths, complete the bhastrika cycle

Section: 3. Cardio and Patanjali Dhyaan (15 – 18 min)

Content: 3. Cardio and Patanjali Dhyaan (15 – 18 min)

Section: Patanjali Dhyaan

Content: Patanjali Dhyaan

Section: Patanjali Dhyaan

Content: Patanjali Dhyaan is an intense process to awaken the body's potential energy, and experience the vibrant stillness of the mind.

Section: Patanjali Dhyaan

Content: Patanjali Dhyaan works at all levels. In the physical body, it helps in loosening the stiff muscles. The body has its own habits, its way of standing, sitting, walking. This is nothing but the muscle memory that we have developed during our life.

Section: Patanjali Dhyaan

Content: Unless we dissolve some of the stiffness and blockages, the old memories of the body, we won't be able to receive any new energy. Patanjali Dhyaan is a process to let go of deeply engraved memories, what we call engrams or samskaras in Sanskrit.

Section: Patanjali Dhyaan

Content: At the mental level, Patanjali Dhyaan done with full intensity effortlessly takes you to a vibrant stillness. The mind is chaotic by nature, so we often need a dynamic method to allow the mind to relax. This is exactly what Patanjali Dhyaan does, by literally shaking off the conditionings and patterns, and bringing you back to the physical reality of the moment.

Section: Patanjali Dhyaan

Content: At the being level, Patanjali Dhyaan is a process to awaken the innermost potential energy, the kundalini shakti. It activates the energy centers along the spine and the energy in every cell of the body, allowing you to experience the expansive state of pure consciousness.

Section: 4. Intention and Visualization (2 min)

Content: The intention is a vital aspect of eN-FitnessSM practice. Without the intention, eN-FitnessSM will be just like any other exercise. The Vedic Tradition names this intention ‘sankalpa’. Sankalpa is a conscious resolution; aligning one’s thoughts and desires with one’s actions, with one’s Being.

Section: 4. Intention and Visualization (2 min)

Content: Paramahamsa Nithyananda explains:

Section: 4. Intention and Visualization (2 min)

Content: “It is not how you move your body, but with what purpose you move your body. That purpose, that intention will become part of your muscle memory.

Section: 4. Intention and Visualization (2 min)

Content: Our body itself is made out of memories. Our muscles store memories. Whether we believe it or not, accept it or not, we are an expression of our own self-hypnosis. Any way you move the body with a faith that this or that will happen in you, simply it will start expressing in you. Even when you sit, if you observe closely, so many physical movements are happening inside your body. Therefore, if you strongly believe that by ordinary sitting you will have health, and you sit just for health, simply that health will happen in you.”

Section: 4. Intention and Visualization (2 min)

Content: So after releasing your body from unnecessary thoughts and patterns through Patanjali Dhyaan, after loosening the stiff muscles with the cardio section, we are ready to create a new body, which will be in tune with an inner experience of peace and bliss, or whatever your intention may be.

Section: 4. Intention and Visualization (2 min)

Content: Throughout the practice, you may continue to visualize yourself moving in bliss, going beyond the limitations of the mind. The power of visualization will inscribe that experience into your muscle memory.

Section: 5. Sun Salutation - Surya Namaskar (~7 min)

Content: The practice of Surya Namaskar (Sun salutation) will awaken the body intelligence to directly create energy from the sun. For centuries, we have suppressed, denied and forgotten the fact that the body has its own intelligence; the wisdom of the ages is stored in each and every cell of our body. The ancient rishis understood this truth and therefore declared time and again that we are filled with cosmic consciousness.

Section: 5. Sun Salutation - Surya Namaskar (~7 min)

Content: Every cell in the body actively responds to environmental stimuli both internal and external. According to Indian tradition, the body is a wonderful mechanism that has the intelligence and capacity to produce energy. Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation is designed to access the etheric energy all around us. When performed facing the East in the first rays of the morning sun along with the appropriate breathing technique and mantras (sacred chants), the effect on the body, mind & spirit is incomparable.

Section: Shivasana

Content: Shavasana (translated in English as corpse pose) is traditionally always practiced for at least 5 - 10 minutes at the conclusion of any yogic practice. Shavasana is a restorative pose and allows the body to process and understand the information it has received throughout the yoga practice.

Content: It is commonly brushed off by some as being just a rest or a chance to have a short sleep. Truth be told, shavasana is essentially the most important aspect of the entire practice. This is where the body receives the class at all levels: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The body can relax, rejuvenate and heal.

Content: If shavasana is practiced in totality, it can leave the practitioner energized for hours after their class. When done with this kind of intense awareness, the 'dead pose' is nothing dead, but instead an opportunity for complete rejuvenation. That is why in the practice of eN-FitnessSM, we called this posture 'shivasana', where you connect with the energy of Shiva, rejuvenation. You emerge from this rest as a new person.
