Teacher's Notes & More Information:

The chant is very precise. On EK pull in the navel. On each final “UH” lift the diaphragm up firmly. The “UH” sound is more a result of the powerful movement of the diagphragm than a pronounced purposeful projected sound. Relax the navel and abdomen on HAY GUROO. The sound has a “spin” to it. It is a 3-1/2 cycle rhythm. As you chant, imagine energy and sound spiraling up and around the spinal cord in a right-handed helix, in a clockwise direction, looking from the top of the spine down to the base. Start at the base of the spine as you initiate the energy from the navel. End with the focus over the head to the Cosmos on HAY GUROO.
