Kundalini Guru’s Guide to Vagus Nerve and Inner Freedom

Background

In this discourse, I, Guru Sanju, spoke to a student whose mind and ego had become very unruly because of deep suffering, intense energy, and a long therapeutic journey with me. He had been inside a structured project with continuous support, and now the project phase was coming to an end. His soul was longing for help, but his mind was creating confusion, fear of abandonment, and dependency on the form of the project itself.

Here I explained how I work as a guru: I am never against the soul; I am firm only with the ego and the mind that wants to survive. I clarified how he could still stay connected with me through single consulting sessions, and how he could take responsibility for his own practice. Then I taught a sequence of powerful Kundalini-oriented breathing techniques to balance the brain hemispheres, activate the vagus nerve, increase the space element, and rehabilitate his nervous system, so that he could continue his healing and transformation independently for at least one hundred days.

Ending the project, not the connection

The way that you behave is by the mind that has been created in you. So as a guru, I do not mind at all, first of all. Whenever you need my help, my assistance, whenever you feel that I am the only one who can help you, at that time you can connect to me. Is that clear?

Exactly: for single consulting, whenever you feel, you can connect. I am not banning you, that you do not need to, that you cannot connect to me ever in my life. Not like that. I am addressing your mind, which is very much unruly, which is very much egoic. So when I tell something, I am telling it to the mind.

I am not against the soul. The soul is suffering; I know it. So whenever you feel that you really need me, you can take the single consulting. Whenever you need it, you can take it. You do not need to be alone for that.

For the time being, I am giving a break from the project because this project is over. But at the same time, you can always connect whenever you need. You can take my regular consulting also, if you feel that once a week you can take or once a month you can take, and that keeps you grounded, that keeps you in order. Then you can do so. Clarity is there?

Whenever you feel that you need to take this guidance from me, learn the techniques, apply the techniques, whenever you feel lost, whenever you feel that you need me—just like when you are hungry, you know that you need food—same way your soul will tell you when you need me.

You do not have to think about it. When you feel a strong feeling that I need the guidance and the presence and the power of Guru Sanju, at that time you just go ahead, book the consultation. You can take at least 15 minutes consultation also. 30 minutes is also there. 60 minutes is also there.

If you feel that just 15 minutes of my powerful presence is enough for you, you can go for that also. But it should be regular, which means you should not lose this connection with me just because you do not have money or you do not have other things. Even if you have the amount for a 15-minute session and you take that regularly—suppose you feel that once a week, 15 minutes of session you can afford—then take that.

Apply the techniques for one week. Then again you take that. Is that okay? Clarity is there?

My firmness with the ego and my purpose for you

I am giving you all the options, but I am not feeding this ego, that mind which has been created in you. I want to free you. That is my purpose. That has been my purpose since the beginning.

So for that, I am giving you a break. After a few single sessions, after a few months in the future, if I feel that now you are eligible again to do a regular project, then maybe again, in another project or some other target-based things, I can include you in something that means you will be getting WhatsApp support like this again. I can design it.

I am not rigid. I am hard for the ego and the mind that wants to survive. And I cannot stay with that, because as a power, my power does not allow this mind and ego to remain. Got it?

So far you have improved. You also feel that your life has become better from the time you have joined the project. Now your life is better. Now you are working, and that work itself will transform you—slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly.

The impact of the work so far

You have seen in the last one or two weeks, or whatever time you have been in this phase, how your experience has been. Life has started shifting. You shared what you have been noticing, and I listened.

I acknowledged your progress and your efforts. Beautiful. Very good, very good. It will go very well; I know very well what it is. After a few days, after a few weeks, whenever you feel that yes, I can join for 30 days like this, you can join also.

For those 30 days, I will design some sessions for you, exclusively for you, and that you can implement as techniques—only the healing part. So today I will be teaching you the healing part. You implement it, and if you feel that it is extremely effective for you, then such healing sessions you can take. Got it?

Because I know this work itself will change you. I have manifested it. I am extremely powerful. I have manifested that work for you, so I know what that work means. It is not a mere man’s work; it is transformation. Your rehabbing, your rehabilitation: the place where you go and rehabilitate your body and mind which was in a yes, in a distorted state. So you will slowly realize that.

Essence of the practice: attention to breath

Now, coming to the technique: you have to pay attention to your breath all the time. This is the essence of this technique.

Right now, as I am teaching you, you may not be having so much attention on the technique implementation, because you are trying to understand how the technique works. But when you are implementing it on your own, your responsibility is to pay attention completely on the breath from beginning to end. Got it?

The first technique, step one, is to check from which nostril your breath is coming.

Checking the dominant nostril

You need to do like this:

Sit comfortably. Take a few breaths. Bring your hand close to your nose, but do not close the nostrils. Just hold your hand a little closer so that when you are breathing in and out, you can feel the air on your fingers or palm. Keep it like this.

Close your eyes. Take a few breaths and check which nostril is more dominant.

Right now you might notice that the right side has more flow and the left is partly functional. It might not be totally closed; it may be a little bit functioning, like 20%, while the right side is like 80% or even completely open.

So this means your left is less functional, right is more functional. It indicates clearly that your mind is more active, your consciousness is less. At least it should be like 60–40 or 50–50. 50–50 means you are balanced. It means that, yes, the system is balanced.

So this check you can do. Whenever your mind is more active, just check this and you will get to know who is the controller of your life. When the left is more active, your consciousness is stronger; when the right is more active, the mind is dominating.

So this technique should transform the right-dominant pattern to left-dominant or at least more balanced, if you practice it regularly. You need to keep a watch. Suppose you practice it for one week; after one week, if you find that yes, my left is now working, at least it should reach 30–40%. If it is reaching that, then take another consulting. Like this, you can progress.

This is totally to make you free. It has energetic importance as well as brain and nervous-system importance. It is a total reset. I am going to change you if you practice this regularly for at least 100 days. Today I am teaching you; you can practice it for 100 days without me, or you can take my powerful energy transmission and practice it regularly. Both options are open for you.

But I will not engage in a project. You will be taking regular consulting. Whatever you choose, I am setting you free that way, because if you have in mind that you need to take the consulting again, the mind is created. So I am removing that mind. I am making you free. Whenever you feel, you can take it, but practice it on your own responsibility.

Sitting posture and the first balancing step

Now, suppose this side is 80 and the other is 20. The next technique is to sit in a specific way for some time so the system can shift.

Sit on your bed, not on a chair. Sit cross-legged or in any relaxed sitting position on the bed where your body is supported by itself. Sitting on a chair does not allow your body to be on its own. The body has to adjust to the chair, and that itself is a sympathetic activity. On the bed, your body is adjusting to itself.

More you are yourself, more your nervous system is relaxed. But if you have to adjust to something, again you go into that sympathetic mode or freeze mode, where you have to adjust to something. So stop doing things where you have to adjust to something. Start doing things in which other things adjust to you.

So, sitting posture and sleeping posture—everything—needs to be relaxed.

For example, when you are sitting like this, you are relaxed. Then bring your chest a little more up and your shoulders a little more open. You will be more relaxed. This is the normal position of the body: spine naturally upright, chest open, shoulders relaxed back and down, chin slightly tucked, eyes closed.

Stay in this posture and for 2–3 minutes just remain like this and pay attention to your breath.

Rechecking the nostrils after sitting

After sitting like this for some time, again check whether any difference has come between previously and now. Check whether the left has started working a little, whether even a micro-level change has happened or not.

Sometimes the right may still be more active. Not a problem. This is continuous work. How long should you do this? You should be in this position at least for ten minutes.

You should do this technique only in sitting position. Sitting position will benefit you. If you are lying down and doing it, then it will not have much benefit in this specific nostril-balancing step.

Slowly, slowly, this will activate your vagus nerve, and you will see the changes. Do not expect overnight results, but yes, over a period of one week, two weeks, maybe it will change. Your work is to do it. Do not expect a result. Your only work is to do it, because on the micro level, changes are happening in your system through this technique.

Refining the relaxed posture

Now, in this sitting position, keep your shoulders up and open, chest gentle and lifted. Keep your spine natural, not stiff. Close your eyes. In this posture you will do all the techniques I teach you now.

Feel the difference in your body when your shoulders are properly placed and your chest is open. There is more ease.

From here we move into mouth exhalation.

Mouth exhalation in slow motion and in parts

You already know slow-motion mouth exhalation. Suppose you are exhaling from the mouth like this: a long, continuous exhalation from the mouth until the air is fully released.

You have been doing this; you know this. But now I am adding another way.

The other way is to exhale in parts.

Instead of one continuous flow, you break the exhalation into segments. For example, you can divide the out-breath into 4–5 parts. So it is like this: you exhale in one small puff, then pause for a microsecond, then second puff, third, fourth, and so on, until the exhalation is completed. You do not force the breath; you only shape it into gentle segments.

You can think of it like ten divided by five: 2–2–2–2–2. In breathing terms, the air flows in five soft waves until the end, when you realize that all the exhalation has been completed.

In this way, you do at least three rounds. Sit with your spine relaxed and chest open, eyes closed, shoulders soft and slightly lifted. Do three rounds of segmented mouth exhalation.

You can also choose between two styles:

• Either you exhale in tiny continuous pulses, like a series of gentle sighs flowing one after another.
• Or you exhale in more clearly separated parts, with small pauses between each segment.

Whichever feels more effective to you, do that. The main focus is that exhalation should be complete.

This is one of the main techniques in this sequence.

Alternate nostril breathing without retention

Next step is alternate nostril breathing.

Raise your right hand. Place your index and middle fingers lightly between your eyebrows or fold them down, and use your thumb and ring finger to open and close the nostrils.

The basic cycle is:

• Inhale from the left.
• Close the left nostril.
• Exhale from the right.
• Inhale from the right.
• Close the right.
• Exhale from the left.

In simple words: inhale left, exhale right; inhale right, exhale left. You start from left and end at left. That is one complete round of alternate nostril breathing.

Do not hold the breath anywhere in this version. After inhalation, simply change the finger and exhale from the other side. After exhalation, inhale from the same side, and exhale from the opposite side again.

I guide you once:

Close your right nostril. Inhale from the left, slowly.

After inhalation, close the left nostril. Exhale from the right completely.

After exhalation, inhale from the right, slowly.

When the inhalation is complete, close the right. Exhale from the left completely.

This is the correct technique. Now you can do it once more on your own.

Inhaling left, exhaling right, inhaling right, exhaling left. This is alternate nostril breathing.

Normal breath-hold with external kumbhak

Now the next technique is normal external breath-hold, which you have been doing earlier.

The sequence is like this:

1. First, you will check the dominant nostril as I taught.
2. Then you will sit in the correct posture, paying attention to your breath.
3. Then you will do slow mouth exhalation (continuous or in parts).
4. Then you will do alternate nostril breathing: inhale left, exhale right, inhale right, exhale left.
5. Then you will do external breath-hold: inhale normally, exhale from the mouth completely, and then hold the breath after exhalation (external kumbhak) for a comfortable period, without strain. Then inhale again gently.

This entire sequence you are still doing while you are, for now, inside the project for at least one day or two days more. You do it and then you can communicate whether you are doing it well or not, whether the technique you are doing is right or not. Because your date is already 12th August, so for one or two days you can communicate, and I will correct you.

After one or two days, once you master the technique, then I will close the channel. That is it. I want you to learn it well, but not be spoon-fed. I want you to take responsibility.

Nadi Shodhan with internal hold (one-second retention)

Next technique is Nadi Shodhan (here I called it Nadia Shodan). This Nadi Shodan is similar to the alternate nostril breathing that you just did—inhale from the left, exhale from the right—but with one important difference.

In Nadi Shodhan here, we add a gentle internal breath hold.

The pattern is:

• Inhale from the left.
• Hold the breath for one second.
• Exhale from the right.
• Then inhale from the right.
• Hold the breath for one second.
• Exhale from the left.

So inhaling, holding the breath for one second, and then releasing from the right; inhaling from the right, holding the breath for one second, and then exhaling from the left.

This one thing is included here: breath hold of one second only. A tiny internal hold.

Do it now:

Inhale from the left—slowly inhale. After that, hold the breath for one second only. Then release from the right and exhale completely.

Again: inhale from the right, hold for one second, exhale from the left.

Remember clearly:

• No external hold after exhalation in this technique.
• No hold after exhalation—only after inhalation.
• From both sides, one by one: inhale, hold, exhale; inhale, hold, exhale.

This means internal hold. And this is extremely powerful. This technique will heal both of your brain hemispheres.

All these techniques—why you are learning them—is to increase the space element.

Increasing the space element and consciousness

Right now, the space element in you is restricted. It is all occupied by mind toxicity, apana, and all the lower energies. All these techniques which I am teaching you today are to increase the space element in your energy field.

When your space element is increased, your consciousness will increase.

I have taught these techniques earlier also, in my other teachings. So if at any point you forget, you can recall and practice them in this sequence. You should not be confused about the techniques. If you have any questions regarding techniques, you can contact me. You can ask me if you get confused and again share small videos of each step (if needed privately) so that I can see whether you are doing it right or not.

Transition to lying-down practice and biofeedback

Now the last technique is to lie down on the bed.

Lie down on your back. Initially, place both hands on your navel area, the lower abdomen. Rest the entire body. Whenever you are doing this technique, you should cover your head and use your foam or cotton earplugs if needed. You should also have a blanket. Whenever you are doing it, you should be cozy; you should be warm.

You can wear a woolen cap if you wish. Cover your head so that the energy is contained and you can receive the transmission more deeply.

If, after the session or after reading this, you can lie down for 10 to 20 minutes more, it is very good. Cover your head, close your eyes, and stay there.

After I disconnect my mind’s eye connection with you, you should cover your eyes and put your earplugs. Got it? Now focus.

Belly biofeedback and vagus nerve activation

Focus on your breathing. As you are inhaling, gently inflate your belly. Try to push your hands up with your belly.

Then, as you exhale, let the belly fall, and your hands will move down.

Inhale, inflate, push it up. Exhale, relax, let it go down.

Initially, it is required at least for five breaths that you consciously push, because your system is too much into freeze. So this pushing is required initially. Every time you do this technique, at least for five breaths—and up to ten rounds—you can push consciously.

But after those first five breaths, do not push. Then see what happens. Notice whether the movement starts happening on its own.

If you continue to push, you interfere. So after those initial breaths, remove the effort. Just rest the hands there and allow the body to move them.

This technique is not about inflating the belly and deflating the belly as an exercise. It is more about biofeedback. Your brain will take biofeedback from your hands. For the entire 20 minutes, your hands should remain on the belly. That is it. The rest—whatever happens—you just need to allow.

You may go into a different state. You do not need to be present and watching. Put an alarm of 20 minutes if you have to get up after 20 minutes. But do not remain here in the head. You just need to let go of everything.

Doing nothing and allowing the body

So, next few minutes, do like that: do nothing. Just close your eyes.

Do not put any effort. See what happens automatically. Observe what is happening, just feel it.

You will be able to notice that everything is happening on its own and you do not have to do anything.

Your vagus nerve is getting activated. And for vagus nerve activation, your belly movements do not have to be big or dramatic. They can be very subtle.

Have you watched dogs ever, sleeping? In any video, if you find sleeping dogs, observe them—how they sleep for some time. You will not even easily notice how their belly moves, yet they are in deep sleep state. That is the quality we are inviting: natural, effortless, rhythmic movement.

So you do not need to be hyper-observant. After those initial breaths, the success of this technique is when you are not trying to manage it.

Next minutes, do nothing. Just allow the body.

You do not have to remain alert and be present to watch anything, to observe anything, to change anything. You just need to be nothing.

The more you can do like this, the better. In this technique, success is if you do not remain; if you get lost—if you drift into that effortless state.

Closing the practice and integrating the energy

When you are ready, you can cover your eyes and use the earplugs. I close the call, I end the transmission, and you continue to lie there.

Do not dilute this energy for the next 20 minutes. Just do nothing. After those 20 minutes, whatever you feel, you can share your feedback with me, and accordingly I will guide you for the next steps.

This is how I set you free from dependency, strengthen your Kundalini journey, increase your space element, and rehabilitate your brain and nervous system—while still remaining available whenever your soul truly calls for my presence.
