Foot Soak

This technique told by Mother is to cleanse our subtle system.

Importance
Like we Cleanse our body daily by taking bath, we should do Footsoak daily. There is so
much of negativity in the environment these days, that we absorb this negative energy. So
through Footsoak we drain all the accumulated negative energy of our subtle body. If the
energies of the subtle body are balanced, our physical body keeps healthy. If you do Footsoak
2-3 times a day, it will really help your chakras to keep clean and you will yourself feel the
difference.
Points to remember
Though there are no such conditionings in sahaja yoga, still few things are to be kept in mind
regarding this technique.
1. Do Footsoak after returning home from work or before sleep.
2. Always do footsoak after attending public programmes.
3. During foot soak dont close your eyes.
4. Its better to use rock salt for footsoak. Because the regular salt (which we use in
cooking) sometimes causes itching in foot after footsoak.
5. The duration of footsoak is generally 10 -15 minutes, but if you feel the need to
extend the duration, you can.
6. During footsoak try to keep your attention on Sahastrar.
7. If you are getting too much thoughts, then you can place ice pack on liver while foot
soaking or you can listen to mothers speech.
8. After finishing off footsoak, meditate for some time.
9. In winters you can footsoak in Luke warm water if you want to.
10. Dont use hot water for footsoak. It will increase heat in body, heating up the liver
generating more thoughts.
11. For Right foot soak, water should be cold. You can put some ice cubes in it if the tap
water is not cold. This technique is explained below.
12. After attending any havan ceremony, if you feel heat of body has increased then you
should do right foot soak or you can also place Ice-pack on liver during Havan.
13. Always keep your liver cool. when the liver is hot, it overworks and your right side
becomes heavy. Because of this over-activity of liver, your left channel also goes
down. That is why many times over- right sidedness also worsens the left channel. Its
so inter-linked. The best way to keep liver cool is use of ice pack.
14. Salt has the tendency to absorb negativity. So there should be enough salt in water i.e.
about 3-4 fist full .
15. Always flush foot soak water in toilet as it has absorbed the negative energies of the
body.
16. Dont look into the foot soak water while footsoaking or afterwards.
17. Avoid washing clothes in the tub/bucket used for foot soaking.

18. There is no need to take affirmations of specific chakra during footsoak daily. It is
only when you feel the need to clear a specific chakra.
Process
Lit a candle or the oil lamp in front of mother. Take a small tub or bucket. Fill it with that
much water which touches your ankle when you place your foot inside it. Take a mug of
fresh water and keep it aside. Place one small towel besides you to wipe the wet feet after
footsoak. Now put salt in it.
Take bandhan. Vibrate the water while chanting the mantra of Shri Samudra devata. In
Hindi language sea is called as Samudra and deity as Devta and Shri word is used as a
symbol of respect before the name.
Om twamev sakshat Shri Samudra Devta Sakshat
shri adi Shakti mataji shri Nirmala Devi namo namah
Now place both feet in water for 10-15 minutes. There should be a little gap between both the
feet. You can clean your three channels or specific chakras during the Footsoak.
Cleaning the three channels
Clean the left channel first and chant the mantra of Shri mahakali and Shri
Bhairavnath.
Om twamev sakshat Shri Mahakali sakshat shri Bhairavnath Sakshat
Shri adi Shakti mataji shri Nirmala Devi namo namah.
During cleaning your left channel, you can also clear specific left chakras. For this take the
Affirmation of that chakra and chant the mantra of that chakras deity.
For example Deity of left Mooladhara is Nirmal Ganesh and mantra is :
Om twamev sakshat Shri Nirmal Ganesh sakshat shri Adi Shakti mataji Shri Nirmala Devi
namo namah.
Its Affirmation is O Mother by your grace I am the innocence of a child
All the Affirmations of the chakras are given in book Nirmal Vidya. Move your right hand
over that chakra and throw the negativity in foot soak water.
Now clean your right channel and chant the mantra of Shri Mahasaraswati and Shri
Hanuman:
Om twamev sakshat Shri Mahasaraswati sakshat shri Hanuman Sakshat shri adi Shakti
mataji shri Nirmala Devi namo namah.
Again you can clear specific right chakra. Take the Affirmation of that chakra and chant the
mantra of its deity. Move you left hand over that chakra and throw the negativity in foot soak
water.
Afterwards take both hands in front of mother and pray for balance and cleansing of
centre channel. Chant the mantra of Shri Maha Lakshmi and Shri Ganesh

Om twamev sakshat Shri Maha Lakshmi sakshat shri Ganesh Sakshat

shri adi Shakti mataji shri Nirmala Devi namo namah.
You can clear specific centre chakra. Take the Affirmation of that chakra and chant the
mantra name of its deity. Move you right hand over that chakra and throw the negativity in
footsoak water. Now take out your feet one by one and wash them with fresh water and wipe
them with the towel. Give 7 bandhans to the foot soak water.
Keep it aside for some time and sit in meditation. After finishing off, take bandhan. Flush the
foot soak water in toilet.
Right Foot soak
if your feeling too much heat in body, you can do right foot soak. For this place only your
right foot in water and left foot outside the tub. The water in this case should be cold. You
can use ice cubes if tap water is not cold.
Clean your right channel and chant the mantra of Shri Mahasaraswati and Shri
Hanuman.
Om twamev sakshat Shri Mahasaraswati sakshat shri Hanuman Sakshat shri adi Shakti
mataji shri Nirmala Devi namo namah.
Again you can clear specific right chakras. Take the Affirmation of that chakra and chant the
mantra of its deity. Move you left hand over that chakra and throw the negativity in foot soak
water. In Hindi language moon is called as Chandrama, Himalaya is one of the mountains in
India and attention is called as Chit.
You can take mantras of Shri Himalaya, Shri chandrama and Shri Chit Devta
Om twamev sakshat shri Himalaya sakshat shri adi Shakti mataji shri Nirmala Devi
namo namah
Om twamev sakshat shri Chandrama Devta sakshat shri adi Shakti mataji shri Nirmala Devi
namo namah
Om twamev sakshat shri Chandrama Devta sakshat shri adi Shakti mataji shri Nirmala Devi
namo namah
After finishing off, clean the feet with fresh water wipe them and flush the water.

Camphor and Carom seeds (Ajwain)

Burning Camphor and Carom seeds (Ajwain)
Chakras on left channel can also be cleared by using Camphor and Ajwain. Few small
pieces of camphor and about 1 tea spoon of Carom seeds are put in a small bowl (with a
handle) and burnt. Camphor immediately catches fire. Then this bowl is moved across
each chakra on left side.
If u are doing it for yourself then move the bowl in anti-clockwise direction, on your
front side.
If you are doing for somebody, then move the bowl in clockwise direction at each chakra
on left side of that person, sitting at the back of that person.
Single Burning Candle
Single candle can also be used to clear left channel. Lit one candle. Fix it in some
holder/stand, so that while moving the candle, the hot melted wax should not fall on
you.
If u are doing it for yourself then move the candle in anti-clockwise direction, on your
front side.
If you are doing for somebody, then move the candle in clockwise direction at each
chakra on left side of that person, sitting at the back of that person.
