SIX FOLD NYASA                                             NYASA6X.TXT
      ************************************************************************
      The nyasa ritual confers psychic protection to the person doing
      a ritual. 

      The Tantra texts state at least a six fold nyasa should performed
      before every Tantra ritual.

      Nyasa seals and protects the body so the energy created by the ritual
      in a person's body remains in their body so it can be used.
      It also helps keep negative energy from entering the body from the
      outside.

      NYASA [CLOSING THE BODY PARTS PROTECTION RITUAL]
      ------------------------------------------------
      The person performing the Nyasa holds their left hand open and palm up
      at the navel level, closes the right hand into a fist with the index and
      mittle finger extended and touching each other.

      The extended two fingers are then used to touch each of the nyasa places
      lightly, gently and slowley while saying the nyasa mantra:

                       AUM BHUR BHUWAH SWA

     [When touching an opening to the body, the person vivualizes those 
     places being sealed..(the mental attitude assists in the sealing of the
     places being touched).]
