 Yellow Bamboo Intensive training notes
Level 1 and 2 Main points cover 24 hour fast, Mantra repetition, Four basic exercises,
Savasahna relaxation

1. One day fast.

When you begin the level 1 and level 2 training you must fast one entire day.
That is to say you will eat only white rice for one entire day from sunup the
first day until sunup the next day. This period is to be spent only in
contemplation of the nature of your being. Only on your fasting day you must
say each mantra for 30 minutes only between the hours of 8PM and midnight
and only on the fasting day you are to refrain from doing the exercises. Every
other day you are free to practice all aspects of Yellow Bamboo at any time
whenever you feel like it.

2. Mantra Repetition Level 1 and 2

Repeat each mantra silently to yourself for 30 minutes each. For Level 1
Mantra A & B and Level 2 Mantra A - While you inhale imagine you are
vacuuming in a bright red fire through the top of your head. Imagine this fire to
gather in your navel area. As you inhale the fire expands outward from your
navel area. After the inhalation, hold your breath for as long as you comfortably
can. While holding your breath imagine the fire radiating outward from your
navel and visualize the fire spreading outward to fill the room. Progress onward
to visualize the fire spreading outward to fill up the whole world then the whole
universe until the fire spreads out throughout the time and space continuum and
meets itself again. Level 2 students do mantra level 1 immediately followed by
mantra level 2.

NOTE: Level 2 mantra B is done differently- While you do the Mantra B the
idea is to push and curl your tailbone up and forward towards the genitals as if
plugging a socket into a switch. Also, after you repeat the mantra you clasp
your hands together in your lap, right over left, tense all the muscles in your
body and imagine the energy of Gajah Mada entering your body through the
top of your head and all of your body expanding and getting bigger and your
whole body vibrating.

3. Four basic exercises- level 1 and 2.

(Follow these instructions along with the videos). Level 1 do each exercise
five times before doing the next one. Level 2 do 11 times.

Position 1
Begin by reciting quietly the first mantra ANG ANG ANG NGADEG CHAKRA
Copyright Yellow Bamboo Society 2004 All rights reserved. 4
WWW.YELLOWBAMBOO.COM
GNI MERAH RING BUANA ALIT three times and continue to repeat the mantra
even as you do the movements. Start with your feet shoulder width apart and your
hands forming a circle over your navel with your right hand on top. This is the
beginning position

Take a deep breath and exhale with a loud sigh as you drop down your hands palm up
to the sides. Now turn your palms over face down and bring your hands up and
together and cross your palms in front of your face. First watch your right hand. Next
watch your left hand as the hands cross. Finally as your right hand goes out to the side
follow the right hand with your eyes. Extend your hands out to the side palms facing
up. Now turn your head to the left.

Now look up to the sky and bring your hands together. Begin to repeat the mantram
Bambu Kuning, Bambu Kuning, Bambu Kuning Yang Kupakai Bidanku Hidup.
Purse your lips together and inhale while you imaging vacuuming the red fire into
your navel. Continue to bring your hands together into a prayer position and bring
them down in front of you. Make fist of your hands and hold them at the side. This is
called the ready position.

From the ready position push your hands out in front of you and imagine you are
pushing something very heavy. Purse your lips and exhale very hard. Once finished
go back to the beginning position. Level 1 repeat five times, level 2 repeat eleven.

Position 2
Position 2 begins just like Position 1 until you get to the ready position. From the
ready position turn your head and hands upward and push as hard as you can up
towards the sky as if you are lifting something very heavy. Purse your lips and blow
very hard as you push upward. Once finished go back to the beginning position. Level
1 repeat five times, level 2 repeat eleven times.

Position 3
Position 3 begins just like Position 1 until you get to the ready position. From the
ready position turn your head and hands downward and push as hard as you can down
towards the ground as if you are pushing something very heavy. Purse your lips and
blow very hard as you push downward. Once finished go back to the beginning
position. Level 1 repeat five, level 2 repeat eleven times.

Position 4
Position 4 begins just like Position 1 until you get to the ready position. From the rest
position cross and lock your hands in front of you with the left hand on the top. Next
pull your hands apart and stand up as high as you can as if you are wrapped up in a
chain and breaking free. Once finished go back to the beginning position. Level 1

WWW.YELLOWBAMBOO.COM
repeat fives times, level 2 repeat 11 times and next do the test of power before you
finish with Savasahna.

Level 1 Test of Power

Do this after the Step 1 - 4 exercises but before the Savasahna meditation. After the
exercises you may want to test the amount of power you have built up. You have
already done the mantra exercise and saved the mantra power in your stomach. Now
that you have done the step 1 through 4 exercises, you have also pulled in energy
through the top of your head and brought it down into your stomach.

Imagine that these two energies are mixing together in your stomach to form a very
powerful energy. The first few times you do this test you may want to do it from a
seated position as it is not uncommon for people to fall down and pass out while
testing power. After you get the hang of it and have developed control you can try it
standing up.

Begin seated or standing with your hands (left on top of right) over your stomach.
Repeat quietly the Mantram ANG ANG ANG NGADEG CHAKRA GNI MERAH
RING BHUANA ALIT over and over again. Continue with this mantra as you
exhale the arms down and across and up just like in the beginning of the step 1
through 4 exercises. When your hands are out to the side begin saying the Mantram
BAMBU KUNING BAMBU KUNING BAMBU KUNING YANG KUPAKAI
BADANKU HIDUP Look right then left and bring your hands together over your
head and bring them down in front of you.

When your hands are level with your head bring them about 1 foot apart. Inhale
deeply and exhale hard through pursed lips while you imagine the energy flowing out
of your stomach through your hands.

Push your hands together without touching and feel the energy flowing out of your
hands and bouncing/pushing them apart. It is almost like you are pushing two
magnets together which are repelling each other (or pushing a balloon together) and
bouncing apart. Push them together and let the energy bounce them apart faster and
faster until you lose control and the energy takes over. It may take a few tries but
eventually you will get it.

Level 2 Test of Power

Do this after the Level 1 Test of Power but before the Savasahna meditation. Begin
seated or standing with your hands over your stomach. Curl and push your tailbone
forward towards the genitals as if your plugging an electric socket into the wall.
Repeat the Mantra IH GENI PETAK NGADEG SIRE RING BHUWANA ALIT
over and over again. Exhale the arms down and across and up just like in the

beginning of the step 1 through 4 exercises. Look right then left and as you clasp your
hands together repeat the mantra CILIMAREKA CILIMAREKA CILIMAREKA
GAJAH MADA. Inhale deeply and as you exhale pull your hands down till level
with your head and imagine as your bring your hands down you are pulling the energy
(or spirit) of Gajah Mada into your body through the top of your head. Inhale and
bring your hands back up and as you exhale pull them back down level with the head
as you bring the spirit (or energy) of Gajah Mada into your body through the top of
your head. It may take a few tries but eventually you will get it.

until your entire body has disappeared. You see yourself flying up into the sky
all dressed in white.
6. Now as you are flying high in the sky look down at the beauty and splendor of
the earth. See everything so beautiful, the mountains, oceans trees etc. Think
back to any bad things you may have done in the past and feel very sorry for it
because you have done something to harm this beautiful world. Promise
yourself not to do such bad things in the future.

good.

want.

your creator and fly down to your body with the gift you now have.
12.Imagine coming closer to your body and entering in through the top of your
head and allow the energy to strengthen all of your body.
13.When you do this meditation full of respect and seriously you will really get
something special.

from your hand. Do this for a minimum of 10 minutes.
3. Remove.
Put your right hand on the afflicted area. Inhale deeply. Now pull away from
the afflicted area while you purse your lips together and blow out hard. Imagine

rubber band. Inhale deeply and blow out hard through pursed lips and now push
that bad energy into the ground and touch the ground with your hand. Repeat 3
times minimum.
4. Protect.
Hold your right hand 6 inches away from the afflicted area. Inhale deeply and
purse your lips and blow out hard while moving your hands in a clockwise
circular motion. Do the circular motion 11 times. For extra special protection
do the circular motion 11 X 11 times. Imagine the energy you have stored in
your stomach from the mantra exercises coming up your body and out of your
right hand
