Meditation for Hair-Trigger Efficiency

as taught by Yogi Bhajan

Posture: Sit in easy pose with a straight spine. With the elbows bent, raise the hands up and in until
they meet at the level of the heart, a few inches from the body.

Mudra: With the fingers of both hands extended and joined and the palms facing the body, place the
palm of the right hand over the back of the left hand. The fingers of the left hand will point toward the
right and the fingers of the right hand point toward the left. Press the thumb tips together. Hold the
hands and forearms parallel to the ground.

Breath: Keep the eyes nine-tenths closed. Inhale deeply and hold for 10 seconds. Exhale completely
and hold the breath out for 10 seconds. (The air must go all the way out on the exhale so that all the
heart valves get equal pressure, and the brain and central nervous system will trigger survival systems
for a few seconds.)

Time: Practice this meditation 3-5 minutes at a time.

End: Inhale deeply and hold the breath. Circulate the energy throughout your body. Exhale and relax.

Comments: This meditation brings the entire nervous and glandular system into balance. By putting
the thumbs together in the mudra the sciatic nerve is neutralized at the point of ego. This particular
balance puts pressure on certain meridian points in the shoulders.

In doing the meditation you will come to understand that even with the breath out you are still alive. A
lot of problems in family and social relationships are because you don’t have control over the breath.
The beauty of life is based on the breath. It is the link between you and God and it is what gives you
the sensitivity to feel all around you.

Do this meditation at lunchtime or any time you want to get sharp and have an edge over another
person. It can give you hair-trigger efficiency in a life and death situation.
