ShivYog teachers explain Pratiprasad as spiritual rebirth that clears unresolved past-life impressions, called 'dead bodies,' that shape your present behavior. The practice anchors you in the present moment to release only the negative influences weighing you down, making your life smoother.
"Pratiprasad is born again." Born again because it is believed that your life will be smooth or will be full of hurdles, that will depend upon how many dead bodies I am carrying, how many past life issues I am carrying. And my present-day behavior and my present-day reaction will depend upon how many dead bodies I am carrying.
In Pratiprasad, We do not go back anywhere. We connect very powerfully to the present moment where we are right now, because we understand not all past is important, but the past that influences us negatively, that is important. And the past that affects us negatively, we are carrying that impression with us.
