Kundalini, Insomnia and Nervous System Healing

Background of Sameera’s Journey

I met Sameera when her life had quietly collapsed around one core problem: she could not rest. Insomnia had become her constant companion. Even on the days she slept, her mind raced through scenes, arguments, memories. Her chest and ribcage hurt, her spine felt congested, her weight was increasing, and her thoughts were always on—especially at night. She had started believing something was fundamentally wrong with her brain.

When I, Guru Sanju, looked into her energy field, I saw a different story: an overactive sympathetic nervous system, a blocked heart chakra, a diaphragm full of unexpressed childhood trauma, and a vagus nerve that was not able to calm her system. In this discourse, I am sharing exactly what I did with Sameera, step by step, so that you can practice these techniques yourself. If you truly participate, you will begin to reclaim your sleep, your breath, and your life.

Preparing Your Space and Posture

First, I asked Sameera to sit where the light fell on her face. You should also sit where your face is clearly lit; it keeps you awake, present, and easier to observe your own posture.

Remove visual distractions behind you—especially mirrors or moving objects. If there is a mirror behind you, close or cover it. Your system is already overstimulated; we do not want extra sensory noise.

Sit in a relaxed position. There is no need to worry about how you look. Your only responsibility now is to cooperate with the process.

Feeling the Heart Chakra and Recognizing Its Blockage

I began by making her aware of what was happening inside.

Close your eyes for a moment and become aware of your breath. Take a few gentle inhalations and exhalations. Then notice your spine and chest:

  • Do you feel pain, tightness, or heaviness in the ribcage region?
  • Do you feel any vibration or pressure in your chest or spine?

Sameera felt pain in the ribcage area. I explained to her:

The center of your chest is your heart chakra. When there is pain or heaviness here, it means you are not loving yourself enough. You are doing everything for others and ignoring self-care. You accept everything people say, you take it inside, and you do not express. Over years, this becomes a wall of pain around the heart.

I told Sameera, and I tell you: we will change this pain with techniques. But you must also bring many changes in your life to love yourself. I will teach you how.

Opening the Heart with the Wall-Chest Technique

If you have a wall behind you, use it now.

  1. Stand or sit with your back close to the wall.
  2. Place both arms on the wall behind you, elbows bent, forearms or palms pressing into the surface.
  3. Keep your eyes closed.
  4. As you inhale, slowly lift your chest up and slightly forward, as if your sternum is rising toward the sky.
  5. Push the wall gently with your arms while lifting your chest.
  6. Let your neck lift just a little, opening the front of the body.
  7. Stay in this lifted position for some time, breathing gently.
  8. Then exhale and slowly relax.

Do this three times.

Each time:

  • Inhale slowly as you lift.
  • Stay there and take a few natural breaths.
  • Exhale and relax.

This simple movement starts opening your heart chakra and tells your nervous system: “It is safe to expand again.”

Arm Lifts and Spinal Twisting to Move Stagnant Energy

Next, I guided her to open the upper body more.

Arm Lifts with Breath

  1. Sit upright.
  2. As you inhale, slowly lift both arms up above your head.
  3. As you exhale, bring your hands down.

Repeat this a few times, keeping the movements slow and connected with the breath.

Twisting the Spine

Then I asked her to twist, like people used to do in older times without any modern fitness equipment.

  1. Sit or stand slightly forward from the backrest so you have space behind you.
  2. Spread your arms out and start gently twisting your upper body from side to side.
  3. Keep your eyes closed.
  4. Exhale from the mouth as you twist, releasing tension with each out-breath.

Continue for a while. This brings movement into your spine and releases rigidity from the nervous system.

Guided Heart-Opening Visualization of Freedom

I then opened her chest energetically in another way—through an inner image.

Spread your arms wide, chest open, head slightly tilted back. Keep your eyes closed and follow this:

Feel that you are near a waterfall. Water is falling over you. You are a sixteen-year-old girl, free and alive, on a picnic with your friends. You have no worries about life, metrics, career, money, or responsibility. You are simply free.

You walk in a jungle surrounded by trees. You are not fat. You have no health issues. No money problems. No metrics. Those thoughts do not even exist. You are living your life freely and happily, and you secretly dream to live this way forever.

Notice the beautiful smell of the jungle. Smell the trees. Smell the earth. Feel the moist fragrance of water around you. The earth under your feet is grounding you.

Now listen: your soul never wanted the heavy, suffocating life you are living now. You feel trapped. There seems to be no way out. You are not enjoying this current life; you just want to break free.

Stay in this feeling of freedom. Let your soul remember what real life feels like.

Letting the Soul Speak and Beginning a New Birth

Then I asked her to relax her hands, sit silently, and keep her eyes closed.

You do the same now:

  • Sit quietly.
  • Feel whatever your body is feeling: vibration, tingling, warmth.
  • If you feel like smiling, smile.
  • If you feel something opening, allow it.
  • If you feel grateful, let gratitude rise.

I told her: You have never felt this in a long time. Maybe you felt it as a child, but then you went into school, college, metrics, job, marriage, children, responsibilities. That became your default life. And the real life in you was dying every day, without you even noticing.

Now is the time to be born again. Notice your old mistakes. Slowly, all your attention will return to you. You will start taking care of yourself. Your external situation may remain the same, but your attitude will change. You will be able to focus more on life itself.

Whenever you feel ready, you can open your eyes—or keep them closed longer to soak in the experience.

Checking the Breath: Nostril Dominance and the Sympathetic Mind

After this heart work, I taught her to understand her breath.

Your breath shows you the state of your nervous system. When your right nostril is more active, your sympathetic nervous system is dominant. This is the “fight-flight” mode—too much mind activity, health issues, insomnia, racing thoughts.

When your left nostril is more active, you are in rest-and-digest mode. You are more peaceful, more in consciousness.

Ideally, your nostrils should be balanced: 50–50, or around 60–40, 40–60. But when it becomes 80–20, 90–10, that is extreme—and this is where problems arise.

How to Check Nostril Activity

  1. Sit comfortably.
  2. Bring one hand under your nose, palm facing up.
  3. Take a few normal breaths.
  4. Notice which nostril sends more air to your hand.
  5. Estimate: Is it 70–30, 90–10, almost fully blocked on one side?

Sameera found her right nostril was 90 percent, left only 10. This meant sympathetic overdrive.

I told her: All your problems—health issues, insomnia, anxiety—are connected to this pattern. So we will use techniques to balance your nostrils and calm your system.

Cross-Arm Holding to Calm the System

The first calming technique was very simple.

  1. Sit comfortably with your eyes closed.
  2. Cross your arms and tuck each hand under the opposite armpit—one hand under the right arm, the other under the left.
  3. Gently hold yourself in this position.
  4. Breathe normally.
  5. Keep your attention on your breath going in and coming out.

I remained silent for a while and asked her to keep doing it.

You do the same: let your attention stay on the breath. This posture gives your nervous system a sense of containment and safety.

After some minutes, I asked her to relax and check her nostrils again. Even a small change is a sign that your system is responding.

Slow Mouth Exhalation with O-Sound

Then I introduced mouth exhalation.

You will exhale ten times through the mouth very slowly, shaping the mouth as if you are saying “O,” almost like the beginning of “Om.”

  1. Inhale gently through the nose.
  2. Exhale through the mouth as a long, soft “O,” making the exhalation as slow and extended as possible.
  3. You do not need to produce a loud sound every time; the important thing is slow, long exhalation.

Do this ten times, focusing on the slowness and completeness of each exhale.

After this, check your nostrils again. Inhale slowly, exhale slowly, and see whether the distribution has shifted.

Sometimes the change is subtle; sometimes you simply cannot feel it clearly yet. That is all right. The checking itself is important.

Discovering Diaphragm Trauma: Pressing the Solar Plexus

Next, I guided her to find where trauma was stored.

Place your fingers gently under your ribcage, on the soft area in the center—your diaphragm and solar plexus region. Press and check:

  • Do you feel pain?
  • Is there tenderness or discomfort?

Sameera felt pain there. I explained:

This area is where your suppressed emotions sit. All the trauma of your childhood, the things you never expressed, the words you swallowed, are lodged here. You accept everything, you do not fight, you do not argue, you remain quiet. For years and years this becomes a solid block.

We are going to help it release.

Forceful Exhalation to Clear Diaphragm Trauma

To begin that release:

  1. Keep pressing lightly into that painful diaphragm area with your hand.
  2. Inhale gently.
  3. Exhale forcefully through the mouth, as if you are blowing up a balloon in one strong burst: “Hoo” through the mouth.
  4. Keep pressing and keep exhaling forcefully.

Do this repeatedly until you feel tired.

Then:

  1. Push your hands outward, as if you are pushing something away from your chest, repeatedly.
  2. Keep exhaling as you push, releasing the stored energy.

After some rounds, relax completely. Close your eyes and allow your breath to return to normal.

This begins loosening the trauma buried in your diaphragm.

Learning True Belly Breathing

I then showed her that her breathing pattern itself was anxious and shallow.

Most people in anxiety breathe with the chest, high and fast. The chest moves, the belly barely moves. This keeps the mind hyperactive.

To reverse this:

  1. Lie down or sit comfortably.
  2. Place one hand on your chest and one hand on your belly.
  3. As you inhale, keep the chest still.
  4. Allow only the belly to inflate, rising like a balloon.
  5. As you exhale, let the belly deflate. The chest should remain as still as possible.

If you cannot coordinate this with the breath initially, simply practice only the movement:

  • Move the belly up and down, up and down, without thinking about breathing.
  • Keep the rest of your body still; do not move your whole torso.

Sameera initially moved her whole body. I told her: practice until your belly alone moves, not your entire body. This is training your system for deep, grounded breathing.

Long Exhalation and External Breath Holds

Then I introduced a very important pattern: long exhalation with a short breath hold after exhale.

  1. Do not force inhalation. Let your body inhale naturally through the nose.
  2. Focus on making the exhalation longer and longer.
  3. Exhale through the mouth completely, until you feel the breath has emptied.
  4. At the end of exhalation, your belly should go inward.
  5. Now hold your breath after exhale for two to five seconds, keeping the mouth closed.
  6. After the hold, relax and let the body inhale on its own again.
  7. Take a few natural breaths.
  8. Repeat.

Do ten such rounds.

The sequence is:

  • Inhale naturally.
  • Exhale completely through the mouth.
  • Hold breath out for two to five seconds.
  • Relax and allow natural breathing.
  • Repeat.

During this entire practice, keep your attention totally on each step. This pattern strengthens your nervous system and trains your brain to shift out of constant activation.

Dealing with Noise and Protecting Your Inner Space

At one point, external sounds disturbed Sameera. Many sensitive people face this.

When you do these practices:

  • Keep your eyes closed.
  • If external sounds disturb you, use earplugs or cotton balls to soften the noise.
  • Create a cocoon for your nervous system.

This makes the practices more effective and protects your vagus nerve as it begins to awaken.

Checking Nostril Flow with Each Stage

After several rounds of breathing and movement, I again asked her to check the nostrils:

  1. Close your right nostril and inhale and exhale through the left. See whether the flow is free or partially blocked.
  2. Then close the left nostril and inhale and exhale through the right. Check the flow on this side.

In Sameera’s case, both sides were problematic—one blocked, the other not fully open. I told her:

Your vagus nerve is not activated yet; it will take time. Do not worry. With regular practice, both nostrils will gradually open more consistently. This will not happen in one day.

Alternate Nostril Breathing to Balance the Brain

Next, I guided her into alternate nostril breathing, but in a very slow way.

Use your right hand:

  1. Place your thumb on the right nostril.
  2. Place the ring and little finger near the left nostril.
  3. The middle two fingers can rest on the forehead or be relaxed.

Sequence:

  • Close the right nostril with the thumb.
  • Inhale very slowly from the left nostril.
  • When inhalation is complete, close the left nostril with the ring finger.
  • Exhale very slowly from the right nostril.
  • When exhalation is complete, inhale very slowly through the right nostril.
  • Then close the right and exhale very slowly through the left.

This full cycle is one round. Do ten rounds.

Important:

  • Make the breath as slow as possible, as if life itself has slowed down.
  • When you exhale, your belly should go completely inside.
  • Sit properly, chest up, spine as aligned as you can manage.

This practice balances both hemispheres of the brain and begins to harmonize your nervous system.

Lying-Down Belly Breathing with O-Exhalation

After this, I asked her to lie down.

You can lie on a mat, bed, or floor with a cloth so you do not feel cold.

  1. Lie on your back.
  2. Place both hands on your lower belly.
  3. Close your eyes.
  4. Slowly inhale, inflating the belly.
  5. Slowly exhale, deflating the belly.

Once this rhythm is established, add the O-exhalation:

  • Inhale slowly.
  • Exhale with a long “O” sound, extending it as much as possible: “Ooooo…”
  • You can extend your arms as you exhale, reaching out and then relaxing.

Do around ten rounds. If you feel sleepy, stop making the sound and simply continue with slow inhalation and exhalation through the nose.

The more slowly you breathe, the more control you gain over your nervous system, brain, and senses. I told her:

Take the charge of your life back. Until now you have let it loose. Others are controlling your life. No discipline, just moving like a machine. Now inhale slowly, exhale slowly, and reclaim your inner authority.

Relaxing Completely and Palming the Eyes

When the body and breath had calmed, I asked her to stop the sound and do nothing.

Lie still. Release your hands to your sides. Relax completely. Do not try to do anything.

Then:

  1. Slowly become aware of your body again.
  2. Bring both hands to your face and gently cover your closed eyes with your palms.
  3. Stay like this for around two minutes.

This simple eye-palming relaxes the vagus nerve, releases tension from the eyes, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, and slows down the sympathetic activity.

The core purpose of all these techniques is to slow your overactive sympathetic system. When that slows, life feels in control again. You stop feeling like a victim of your own mind.

After some time, remove your hands, open your eyes, and look around. Notice whether your vision feels clearer than before.

The Blank State, Samadhi and Brain Waves

After the practice, Sameera reported a blankness: no thoughts, a kind of emptiness.

I told her: This blank state is exactly what you need. This is the doorway to samadhi, to liberation. Consciousness in its true form is nothingness, emptiness.

This is the essence of what people call Shiva—pure consciousness beyond noise.

Earlier, she had read spiritual books because of her insomnia. She thought tea or coffee were the main causes, but I explained:

Tea and coffee may influence you a little, but they are not the real cause. The main problem is the mind’s overactivity about life—your karmic patterns and destiny. Your mind thinks all the time. Even when you sleep, your brain is awake.

When your consciousness rises, the mind slows down. Instead of constant mental waves, you begin to enter deeper states where nothingness is present.

I explained the brain waves simply:

  • When your mind is too active, your brain operates in beta waves—fast, choppy, like a stormy ocean.
  • When you slow your mind with these practices, beta activity reduces, and the waves become smooth and gentle, like alpha waves.

With regular practice, your sleep quality improves. Even five or six hours of sleep can feel sufficient if it is deep and undisturbed.

How I Work and Who I Am

At the end, I told her:

If you want to know more about me, go to my website and read my about page. I am powerful in the spiritual sense. I have spiritual powers. I have the clairvoyant ability to read you. I am an energy master and an energy scientist. I work on energies. Yoga is just one small part of what I do, not the whole.

My work goes much deeper—into your energy field, karmic patterns, nervous system, and consciousness.

The Structure of the Project and Next Steps

I told Sameera that she had participated very well in this session. For readers like you, understand this approach clearly:

  • First, we focus only on your most urgent issue—for her it was insomnia.
  • I suggested we treat it as a five-day project: alternate-day sessions, with her repeating the practices at night and giving me feedback about her sleep.
  • After each session, I keep the communication channel open for one day so you can practice again and report what you experience.
  • If you feel real benefit, we continue. If you are fine and feel complete, you can stop.

Other issues, like weight, conscious eating, and posture, can each become their own focused projects later.

I told her:

Today’s work is for your insomnia and nervous system. Practice especially the last lying-down breathing with O-exhalation before sleep. When you do that regularly, insecurity, depression, and agitation begin to loosen their grip.

Sameera had spinal issues, anxiety, congestion in the chest, and extra fat. I explained: as your breath deepens and your nervous system calms, posture improves, congestion opens, extra fat can reduce, and your body becomes more cooperative.

I will also teach conscious eating as part of future work, so that you no longer eat unconsciously out of emotion.

But you always have the freedom: if you are truly interested, we continue. If not, you can stop at any time.

In your own life, try these practices sincerely. Observe your nostrils. Learn belly breathing. Use long exhalation and gentle breath holds. Open your heart, release your diaphragm, and reclaim your nervous system. Slowly, your sleep, your energy, and your soul will remember freedom again.
