[ SĀDHANA SEQUENCE / MIRROR METHOD ]
Anxiety Dissolution
Prāṇāyāma → Dhāraṇā → Dhyāna
Prithvi45 min3 stages
Overview
A three-stage sequence designed to systematically dissolve the somatic, cognitive, and existential layers of anxiety. Begin with Nāḍī Śuddhi to stabilize the autonomic nervous system and equalize the iḍā-piṅgalā currents. Progress to Trāṭaka to anchor scattered attention onto a single point. Complete with So'haṃ Dhyāna to rest in the recognition that the anxious self is not the true self.
The Sequence
Each stage builds on the one before. Do not skip ahead — the arc is the sādhana.
01
Nāḍī Śuddhi
नाडी शुद्धि — Channel Purification Breath
15 min
Begin with 5 rounds of simple alternate-nostril breathing, then extend to a 1:2 ratio. Observe the breath without forcing symmetry.
02
Trāṭaka
त्राटक — Steady Gazing
10 min
Gaze at a candle flame or a fixed point. When the eyes water, close them and hold the after-image at the ājñā center.
03
So'haṃ Dhyāna
सोऽहं — 'I Am That' Non-dual Contemplation
20 min
Let the breath become the mantra: so on inhalation, haṃ on exhalation. Rest in the silence between breaths — the anxiety dissolves there.
