Start with your feet shoulder width apart and your hands forming a circle over yournavel with your right hand on top. This is the beginning position.

Take a deep breath and exhale with a loud sigh as you drop down your hands palm up to the sides.

The most important point in the exercise is to look at your body and seeyour soul not your body. See the luminous being that you are.

Now turn your palms over face down and bring your hands up and together andcross your palms in front of your face. First watch your right hand. Next watchyour left hand as the hands cross. Finally as your right hand goes out to the sidefollow the right hand with your eyes. Extend your hands out to the side palmsfacing up. Now turn your head to the left.

Now look up to the sky and bring your hands together. Begin to repeat themantram Bambu Kuning, Bambu Kuning, Bambu Kuning Yang KupakaiBidanku Hidup . Inhale through your nose while you imagine the red fire risingfrom your stomache. Continue to bring your hands together into a prayer

position and bring them down in front of you. Make fist of your hands and holdthem at the side. This is called the rest position.

From the rest position push your hands out in front of you, make your hands likedragon claws and imagine you are pushing something very heavy. The energy iscoming out all five fingers, the palm of your hand, the top of your head, your whole body and focused at a distance. Purse your lips and exhale very hard.

Allow the power to flow up from your stomach and out of your hands. Oncefinished go back to the beginning position. Repeat 10 times.

Level 1 Exercise Position 2Position 2 begins just like Position 1 until you get to the rest position. From the rest position turnyour head and hands upward, make your hands like dragon claws and push as hard as you can uptowards the sky as if you are lifting something very heavy. Purse your lips and blow very hard as

you push upward. Allow the power to flow up from your stomach and out of your hands, your fingertips etc. Once finished go back to the beginning position. Repeat 10 times.Level 1 Exercise Position 3Position 3 begins just like Position 1 until you get to the rest position. From the rest position turn

your head and hands downward, make your hands like dragon claws and push as hard as you candown towards the ground as if you are pushing something very heavy. Purse your lips and blow

Level 1 Exercise Position 4Position 4 begins just like Position 1 until you get to the rest position. From the rest position crossand lock your hands in front of you with the left hand on the top. Next pull your hands apart andstand up as high as you can as if you are wrapped up in a chain and breaking free. Once finishedgo back to the beginning position. Repeat 10 times and on the last repetition when you break thechains take all the energy you have built up and let go with the biggest, loudest scream you canand next do the test of power before you finish with Savasahna.

Level 1 Test of Power (Internal and external) - Do every time you do theexercises. Do this after the Step 1 - 4 exercises but before the Savasahna meditation. After theexercises you test the amount of power you have built up.

Internal Test of power- The first few times you do this test you may want to doit from a seated position as it is not uncommon for people to fall down and passout while testing power. After you get the hang of it and have developed controlyou can try it standing up.

You have already done the mantra exercise and saved themantra power in your stomach. Now that you have done thestep 1 through 4 exercises, you have also pulled in energythrough the top of your head and brought it down into your

stomach. Imagine that these two energies are mixing together in your stomach to form a very powerful energy. It is like the external power enters youand adds to the fire just as if you were adding gasoline.

Begin seated or standing with your hands over your stomach. Repeat quietly theMantram ANG ANG ANG NGADEG CHAKRA GNI MERAH RINGBHUANA ALIT over and over again. Continue with this mantra as you exhalethe arms down and across and up just like in the beginning of the step 1 through4 exercises. When your hands are out to the side begin saying the MantramBAMBU KUNING BAMBU KUNING BAMBU KUNING YANGKUPAKAI BIDANKU HIDUP Look right then left and bring your handstogether over your head and bring them down in front of you.

When your hands are level with your head bring them about 1 foot apart, usingthe dragon claws. Inhale deeply and exhale hard through pursed lips while youimagine the energy flowing out of your stomach through your hands.

Push your hands together without touching and feel the energy flowing out of your hands and bouncing/pushing them apart. It is almost like you are pushingtwo magnets together which are repelling each other (or pushing a balloontogether) and bouncing apart. Push them together and let the energy bouncethem apart faster and faster until you lose control and the energy takes over. Itmay take a few tries but eventually you will get it.

Savasahna Meditation- Do every time you do the exercises and tests of power regardless of your level plus anytime you feel like it.
