ABOUT SRI SHYAMJI BHATNAGAR Sri Shyamji Bhatnagar, Master of Nada (the yoga of sound), met his guru at the age of twelve in his native India. In 1960 he moved to the United States where he developed a unique psychospiritual theory of microchakras which profoundly enriches the classical understanding of the chakras. His method of InnerTuning® combines microchakra theory with his exceptional gift for chanting mantras and sounds that enhance the flow of energy within the subtle body. Shyamji has collected a large body of clinical evidence suggesting that synchronization of the nasal cycle with the lunar cycle is helpful for many disorders, including schizophrenia. InnerTuning® excels in combining the psychological and spiritual aspects of life. For over four decades, professionals and students in India, Europe, North and South America have found new meaning in their lives through Shyamji’s work.

INTRODUCTION TO THE PRANA CALENDAR™ This calendar is a tool for synchronizing the breath with the appearance of the new and full moons. At dawn, when the breath is in sync with the lunar cycle, we feel the beneficial effects for the rest of the day. If we maintain this synchronization regularly over an extended period of time, we experience profound and lasting changes of a positive nature. SVAR YOGA Svar is the ancient yogic science that focuses on the most subtle aspects of breath. Very few people are aware of it, even today in its native India, because it has been deliberately kept hidden. The reasons for this secrecy are that relatively few people are able to follow a sufficiently sattvic (pure) lifestyle which would enable them to benefit from it, and very few competent gurus are available to teach it. Without the prerequisites of lifestyle and teacher, attempts at Svar yoga can easily activate toxins (apana) within the body causing negative effects from mild to severe. Svar literally means “sound,” specifically the sound made by the breath. (It should not be confused with pranayama breathing exercises) The aim of Svar yoga is the recognition of divinity within. The particular means by which Svar yoga accomplishes this is through manipulation and control of the breath. Use of the Prana Calendar as one of the practices of InnerTuning® provides a means to get started on some of the fundamentals of Svar yoga. INNERTUNING® PRACTICES AND MICROCHAKRA PSYCHOLOGY™ InnerTuning practices consists of methods to balance the physical, subtle and causal bodies to the point that the human being becomes like a well-tuned instrument, capable of bringing forth melodious, life-enhancing thoughts and actions.

The founder of the system, Sri Shyamji Bhatnagar, explains that all our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by the symphonic dance of 147 microchakras – the component parts of the seven classical chakras. Microchakra Psychology™ is an in-depth study of the openings and blockages in the microchakras. InnerTuning, which include the chanting of sacred sounds and mantras, periodic fasting, meditation and breath control, are designed to open blocked microchakras. THE SCIENCE OF BREATH According to Svar yoga, the human being is an autonomous, self-synchronous organism for experiencing life fully in the world. The body has precise mechanisms for aligning with the rhythmic cycles of the planet and cosmos. The most important, easily regulated, and effective of these mechanisms is the periodic change in inter-nasal airflow known as the nasal cycle. Close observation of the breath will reveal that the air that passes in and out of the nostrils is variable. Sometimes the flow of air is greater in the left nostril, sometimes it is greater in the right nostril, At other times, the airflow is even, passing through both nostrils with equal volume. In most people the flow alternates at regular intervals. The purpose of the nasal cycle is not well understood by mainstream science. What is known is that the nose serves a vital role in maintaining good health by filtering inhaled pollutants and pathogens and regulating the heat and humidity of inhaled and exhaled air. There is some evidence that the nasal cycle controls the heat-humidity balance by enabling the mucosal cells of the nasal passages to periodically rest and recharge. Modern science has only recently begun to observe more profound effects of the nasal cycle, especially the cycle’s influence on the brain. THE DIVIDED BRAIN The cortex of the brain is divided into two anatomically separated halves, each called a cerebral hemisphere. Areas of the right hemisphere control the motor movements and sensations of the left side of the body, and areas of the left hemisphere control the right

side. Each of the two hemispheres is specialized for other functions, as well. In most people, the left hemisphere contains the centers responsible for language processing and the performance of analytical tasks such as counting and memorization. The right hemisphere contains regions that interpret three-dimensional space and the emotional content of words and conversation. Contrary to popular belief, no one is “left-brained” or “right-brained” and there is no such thing as a “male” or “female” brain. However, the two hemispheres do work somewhat independently, dividing up tasks and taking different approaches to the same problem. Both sides of the brain make critical contributions to performance on all complex mental functions. THE NASAL BREATH-BRAIN CONNECTION In scientific studies, when subjects who were breathing predominately through the left nostril were tested in spatial (right-hemisphere) tasks, they performed better. Those breathing predominately through the right nostril did better in verbal (left-hemisphere) tasks. More importantly, the studies have demonstrated a direct relationship between cerebral hemispheric activity, as measured by the electroencephalograph (EEG), and the periodic rhythm of the nasal cycle. Greater EEG amplitudes in one hemisphere are positively correlated with the predominant airflow in the nostril of the opposite side of the head. That is, when the left nostril is more open, there is greater electrical activity in the right hemisphere. When the right nostril is more open, there is greater electrical activity in the left hemisphere. The flow of the breath produces a flow of energy. SVAR YOGA AND THE NASAL RHYTHM The nasal cycle’s influencing effect on the brain comes as validation of the ancient science of Svar. For the Svar yogi, the airs (or pranas) that flow in and out of the nostrils govern all actions. These unusual yogis are able to control their actions by controlling the pattens of prana flowing through their nostrils. Among the 72,000 nadis (pranic channels) in the body, the most important are in the

spinal column: Ida, on the left; Pingala, on the right; and Sushumna in the middle. Ida flows through the left nostril and is supported by the moon. Pingala flows through the right nostril and is supported by the sun. It is the experience of the Svar yogis that Ida supports the world, Pingala creates the world, and Sushumna transforms the world. On the first day of the full moon, Pingala (the sun Svar) flows, and the right nostril is more open for 60 minutes. On the first day of the new moon, Ida (the moon Svar) flows, and the left nostril is more open for 60 minutes. These Svaras alternate throughout the day and night and remain powerful on the first three days of their respective fortnights. When Ida is predominant, the mind is introverted and any sort of mental work is appropriate. When Pingala is predominant, the mind is extroverted, body temperature rises, and more energy is available for physical work. When neither Ida nor Pingala predominates, and the flow in the nostrils is even, then Sushumna is open. The body will not be restless, nor will the mind wander. Such a state is ideal for commencing meditation. In Svar yoga, actions are performed in accordance with the appropriate Svaric flow. The flow is controlled in order to affect the action, or the action is adjusted to suit the flow. The human organism is continually seeking to draw from the environment what it needs to maintain an ideal condition of balance and homeostasis. Thus a person’s need for lunar energy increases as the moon wanes and decreases as the moon waxes. The greater need for lunar energy is satisfied by breathing predominantly through the left (lunar) nostril. The diminished need for lunar strength is satisfied by breathing predominantly through the right (solar) nostril. The cycle of the nostrils begins anew every two weeks with the coming of the full or dark moon nights. At the time of the new moon, the amount of lunar energy reaching earth is minimal. This energy gradually increases for a period of two weeks until it reaches its peak at the time of the full moon. For the

next two weeks lunar energy gradually decreases, reaching its nadir at the time of the next new moon. Just as the alternating nasal rhythm allows the nasal passages to rebalance, so, too, does the alternating hemispheric rhythm allow the brain to re-establish equilibrium. During the full moon cycle, when the right hemisphere has absorbed abundant lunar energy for three consecutive days, the mind has a tendency to become obsessive or over-emotional. The left hemisphere then absorbs solar energy to calm the mind, and reduce anxiety and tension. Svar yogis are sufficiently sensitive to subtleties of solar and lunar energy not to need a Prana Calendar. For everyone else, though, the regular use of the Calendar will help to balance their rational and emotional lives. PROCEDURE Rise at least 30 minutes before sunrise. After defecating and cleansing (longtime meditators will also want to allow some time for yoga or stretching), sit quietly from 7 to 10 minutes before sunrise until one minute after sunrise. Determine your dominant breath. Check the Prana Calendar to see if your dominant nostril corresponds to the dominance indicated for that particular day. If it does not, and you need to open the right nostril, lie on your left side, place a pillow under the armpit, and lean on the left elbow. Keep the head raised, higher than the torso. Reverse the procedure if you wish to open the left nostril. If after several minutes the blocked nostril does not open, plug the more open nostril with a wad of tissue, or force the breath through the blocked nostril with bellows breathing. Svar yogis check their nostril dominance every dawn. Chakra Institute recommends that sadhakas (aspirants) make this check at least once every two weeks, after the appearance of the new and full moons. This Prana Calendar is calculated for New York City. Elsewhere, please consult your local sunrise time. On the Prana Calendar, time of sunrise is indicated for every day of the year. The notation “L”

means left nostril; “R” stands for right nostril. Major fortnightly changes are indicated by shaded areas. Mark the calendar with: C if your dominant nostril of the day is correct; X if your dominant nostril is incorrect. If the dominant nostril is incorrect, make these additional notations: XC if you are able to make the shift to the correct nostril; XX if you are unable to make the shift. Maintaining the Calendar in this way is an important practice of InnerTuning as it provides a steady record of psychospiritual growth. PHYSIOLOGY AND CHAKRA ENERGY For millennia, yogis have emphasized the enormous importance of various forms of detoxification in the first chakra hour: defecation, bathing, self-massage, yoga asanas, and breathing exercises. With the indiscriminate use of electric light this wisdom has disappeared, to our detriment. The chakras whose rhythms suffer most are the first (Muladhara, the “root support”) and the sixth (Ajna, the “governor,”) which influences the region of the “third eye” and the pineal gland. The perfect time to clean the colon is when energy naturally centers in the first chakra, which influences the region of the coccyx. The InnerTuning® Chakra Energy Chart (see below) shows that energy concentrates twice every 24 hours in the first chakra. In the early morning first chakra hour, the catabolic phase of digestion and detoxification culminates, while peristalsis and the anabolic production of serotonin begins. The body stirs and there is an urge to defecate. There is an increased output of energy from the causal body to the subtle body, and then on to the physical level. Delay of the process of elimination due to late rising is one of the major reasons for first chakra related disorders, whether constipation or colon cancer. The Chakra Energy Chart gives precise timings for the commencement of the catabolic and anabolic phases of metabolism.

Sixth chakra related disorders are a consequence of artificial night lighting, which confuses the extremely light sensitive pineal gland and disrupts the secretion of melatonin. When we retire too late and sleep through the sunrise, the pineal gland eventually becomes calcified. A damaged pineal gland may accelerate aging, impair sexual reproduction and induce precocious or delayed puberty. When the Prana Calendar is used at sunrise, the solar and lunar currents are balanced, the cerebral hemispheres harmonize, and the pineal gland is nourished. SUMMARY 1. One does not breathe through both nostrils simultaneously, except for very brief periods when nostril dominance changes over. Usually, one nostril is dominant. 2. The cycle of the breath is directly related to the waxing and waning of the moon. 3. On the morning following NEW MOON (the darkest night) of the lunar cycle, a well-balanced person’s left nostril is open at the time of sunrise. It remains open for one hour. Left nostril dominance also occurs on the second and third mornings of the NEW MOON cycle. The reverse situation occurs on the FULL MOON (brightest night) when the right nostril is open at sunrise. 4. When one nostril has been dominant for three successive mornings, a well-balanced person’s dominant breath will shift to the other nostril for the next three mornings (subject to variances in the 28 ½ day lunar cycle). 5. When there is a disturbance in the nasal cycle, body chemistry becomes disrupted and physiological and psychological imbalance becomes more likely. 6. Breath may be shifted by lying down on the opposite side of the blocked nostril with a pillow placed under the armpit. This drains the mucous out of the blocked sinus and opens the nostril. Change, in healthy people, happens within thirty seconds to ten minutes.

7. If the shift does not occur readily, block the open nostril and forcefully breathe through the clogged nostril, or plug the open nostril with a wad of tissue until the changeover. 8. When the right nostril dominates, body chemistry is more acidic (because more stomach acid is produced during right nostril operation). 9. When the left nostril is open, body chemistry is more alkaline, and body temperature becomes cooler. 10. When the flow of air in the nostrils is equal, the practice of meditation is auspicious. This state occurs naturally at the time before sunrise and sunset. It is advisable to have a bowel movement and a shower before morning meditation. Negligence regarding these prerequisites will eventually impede the flow of subtle energies in the body. A quick response to nostril imbalance can avert ill effects. Change the breath by the methods outlined above. Changing the breath at the first sign of any mental or physical disturbance will prevent worsening of symptoms and promote rapid recovery.
