Ensure that no part of your body gets activated. See that no thought whatsoever disturbs your mind. Allow the body loose so that each limb relaxes to the fullest extent. 

Gradually ensure that all your limbs, from head to foot, feel totally relaxed. First you make your head idea-free. Then the eyes, the neck, the hands and the toes and other fingers and even the mind be made manually relaxed and idea free. Harbour no ideas, no thoughts, no feeling in your brain.

However as you continue to practice and obtain this state for fifteen minutes. Slowly and steadily you bring the duration down to, say a minute. 

When the mind has been made totally free from all ideas and your body being actionless is reduced to real passivity, this state is called Shava Sadhana resembles death in life! At the same time a special kind of energy passes all over your body.

What is Pranayama? Instructions and Info.

Definition of Pranayama. 

Pranayama achieves a total control over thoughts. It is not merely controlling one's breathing, the inhaling and the exhaling. It is on the other hand a discipline which helps one to establish a total control over one's own Pran Shakti and magnetic power

Pran and Ether 

In his Volume of Raja Yoga, Swami Vivekananda explained that the cosmos is made of two elements called Pran and Ether. The creation was made possible through a harmonious blending of these two elements.

All tangible objects are born of the ether. It was through it that the sun and the moon assumed their forms. The human physique came into existence through the ether. All moving and active objects of the world owe their existence to the ether.

Although the ether is very minute and difficult for anybody to see, the Yogi or Sadhak who succeeds in gaining control over the Pran Shakti will certainly be able to see it.

It was only from ether that the creation was made possible. Whatever one comes to see when the earth is overtaken by the deluge recedes to the ether. Man gets his form and pran that is life from the ether. The ether is all pervasive, so is the Pran Shakti.

Creation is made possible because man is endowed with Pran Shakti. When the pran shakti recedes into the sky, man too does so. Thus the ether and the Pran shakti are interrelated. The ether that man derives his pran shakti which, again ensures his strength, thinking, life etc.

So much so the Indian Philosophy has made it very explicit that each and every human action is controlled by Pran Shakti, and because it is integral to the ether, so only absorption of the Pran shakti in the ether is Pranayama.

It is not at all necessary that the hypnotist should be well versed in all the actions of the Pranayama. However, he is expected to know all about its practical aspects if he wants to know the subtleties of Hypnotism. A fresh and unpolluted air is also a solitary place is also essential for Pranayama. If practiced with deep mental concentration, the Pranayama will certainly develop out spiritual power, with the result we achieve a completion in all sadhanas and may be accepted as a complete man or Yogiraj.

Principles to learn Hypnotism, ancient Indian method.

In India hypnotism, an ancient science, was rooted in the Yoga system; and called variously at times as art of hypnotism or as knowledge of hypnotism, the science has been part and parcel of the Indian Spiritualism.

Indian Philosophy and Indian spiritualism have always been integral to the Yoga system. Yoga means union. In spiritual terms it means the union of the souls and the "Brahma: Absolute Being". The concept of union as logically extended has come to mean the union of the devotee and God, man and the Almighty, the individual and the universal and the body and the creation. Submission to the Almighty, the individual and the universal and the body and the creation. Substantially the ultimate object of the Yogic practices has been to achieve a profound concentration of one's inner self in total submission to the Almighty. It is only by way of total submission to the Almighty. It is only by way of Total submission to the Almighty that one finds oneself granted divine grace. This benediction is called Yoga or hypnotism.

Indeed hypnotic power can be achieved through the medium of the yoga, too. Broadly the yoga has five kinds:

• Hatha Yoga
• Dhyana Yoga
• Karma Yoga
• Bhakti Yoga
• Jnana Yoga

This categorization was made possible because, basically, man has five important powers. For instance Hatha Yoga derives from Pran Shakti, Dhyana yoga from mental power, Karma yoga, from activity, Bhakti yoga from emotion and Jnana yoga from highly developed intellect. Only after establishing relations of this kind does man transcend his individual submerge in the universal.

According to Patanjali there are eight stages of the Yoga, the first five are external and the rest three are internal. 

Yama: An unfailing adherence to the tenets of non-violence, truth, integrity, abstinence from sexual and secular pleasures., and non possessiveness. 

Niyama: A devotion to health, contentment, austerity, purity and spiritual meditation.

Asana: Sitting in a comfortable posture absorbedly attentive and intent.

Pranayama: Preservation of Vital energy in the body through exhaling, inhaling and controlling the movements of breath. 

Pratyahara: To deflect the senses from their physical objects and harmonize them with the faculty of the mind is said to be Pratyahara. 

Dharana: To organize total concentration of one;s mind in a particular thought. 

Dhyana: Concentration of the mind on a given object undisturbed by the presence of other objects.

Samadhi: Total absorption in the target object oblivious of one's own existence. 

When the first five stages are achieved and Sadhak achieves perfection in all these stages, he is presumed to have qualified for the remaining three stages. The Sadhak is advised to accomplish the first five stages before he enters the realm of the remaining three. 

By practicing the above methods, a being is said to be achieve the immortal. The main essence of yoga is knowing who we really are! On the path of practicing the above methods, an Ordinary man will become an immortal Yogi. 

Overall, to master the art of hypnotism, we must first master our senses by Practicing meditation, Pranayama and other practices that will strengthen our will and mind. 

 Mind is the slave for a successful person - Swami Vivekananda
