Preparation & Setting the Mood
➤Create a beautiful place for your practices, put your favorite image or objects there.
➤Put the music on that we used at the end of the class (Anandamayi by Jagjit Singh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNxWlbbZ0Ug) to help relax you.
➤A darkened room is better for inner relaxation or direct exposure to early morning sunrise.
➤Light a candle and some incense.
➤Arrange flowers if you like.
➤If you can sit on cotton or silk rather than synthetic materials – even better. If you can and it does
not hurt then sit crossed-leg or in the lotus pose otherwise a chair is fine. Keep your spine straight and off the back – head, spine and base in one line.
➤This place will be your meditation sanctuary for the next few weeks.
Gratitude
➤Filling your heart with gratitude and surrender is critical to accessing altered states of consciousness on your own.
➤Lift you hands parallel to your heart facing forwards and think of something you are really
grateful for – someone who helped you, unconditional love, your family, a success you recently had...feel that vibration and thank them and the universe for looking after you.
Joyfulness
➤Part of ensuring success includes training yourself to be happy.
➤If necessary, fake it to make it a permanent state eventually.
➤Remember a time or a place where you were at your happiest or something nice or funny that happened to you recently. Or someone you love being with. Bring a smile to your face and relax all facial and head muscles.
Imagination
➤Close your eyes and feel everything.
➤Can you hear your heart beating?
➤Can you feel your breath going in and out of your nose and lungs?
➤Think of a beam of light going through you and a halo of yellow or orange surrounding you like an egg.
➤You are safe in that cocoon of your mind. Nothing can distract or displace you.
Just let go
➤Surrender to the possibility of this moment!
➤Just let go.
➤You are not in control of anything so let go and let the universe and your intuitive self guide you.
➤Let go of everything you are holding on to – things you have to get done, someone spiting you, a regret, envy, a loss – whatever – just let go.
➤Surrender to the universe and ask it to guide you and open you up for real wisdom.
Breathing
Follow the breathing relaxation I showed you at the beginning of the class or at the end during meditation and allow yourself to deeply relax.
The Mantras
➤Practice the mantras in the early morning or just before going to sleep and allow your body to come into relaxed alignment with earth and cosmic energy and the feeling along your spine.
Ah Hum
➤Now clench your bottom gently and take a deep breath into your stomach.
➤Then:
1. Chant Ah and imagine an energy or light going up your spine on the out breath.
2. Then chant Hum at the throat upwards.
3. Make it into an Ah Hum sound
4. Sit in silence after each chant feeling a light form in the dome of your head.
5. Do it 3 times at least or in multiples of 3.
Hum Sah
Now imagine a portal 12 fingers above your nose at the crown above your head. From here imagine the Jiva is entering bringing scared energy into you. And it is coming down to your heart center which sits 12 fingers below your nose.
1. First place your mind at the third eye Star Gate by placing your thumb in from of your nose (12 fingers) and lifting it up to your crown. That marks the spot.
2. Then rub the space between the eyebrows with two fingers until you begin to see a swirling galaxy type formation or circle of gentle light.
3. As it comes in downwards with your in-breath, imagine our breath the sound Hum
4. As it goes out upwards with your out-breath chant or imagine the sound Sah.
5. No pauses in between but slow down the breath as you continue
6. Do this many times until you fee an energy coming down into your heart and a
blissfulness begins to fill your heart.
7. Do 3 to start with or 6, 9 or even more. Slow it down. Observe the breath coming
in. Observe it going out.
AUM
Chant the Om Mantra as a 5-part Mantra and relax more with each stage.
1. A - Aah Akara from the stomach
2. U - Ooh Ukara from the heart
3. M - Um Makara from the throat and nostrils upwards
4. End M - The Makara goes to silence
5. Silence.
6. Then take a deep breath in to the stomach.
Do it 3 times at least or in multiples of 3.
Aeem Hreem Shreem
➤Focus you mind on the third eye center between your eyebrows and chant:
• Aeem – imagine divine consciousness flowing into your head from above
• Hreem – Imagine a light exploding in your third eye
• Shreem – imagine your heart center a white lotus and a golden energy all around you like an egg
➤Chant slowly 3 times
Aeem Kleem Sauh | Sauh Kleem Aeem
➤Now imagine the grace and energy flowing down you as a river and up you through the middle of your spinal cord and chant this Mantra:
• Aeem – flowing consciousness from above to your tongue and then
downwards along the spine. Touching your lips helps.
• Kleem – now experience the heart center between your two nipples and
feel a bliss sensation there. Touching that center helps.
• Sauh – now experience the energy at your Yoni/Linga – you can apply
slight pressure there
➤Now reverse the sequence and move upwards and Chant slowly 3 times
Shreem
Now relax in the heart center and imagine that there is no body, no room, nothing at all. Just your heart Jiva center and there completely relax.
1. Chant SHREEM loudly and slowly vibrating out from the neck and heart as you do.
2. Feel a white light in your heart center and a golden egg all around you.
3. SHREEM is the sound of Shakti in your being and all around you.
4. Sha – the sound of the sacred Mother of Golden Light all around you
5. Ra – is the fire of desire burning in you at your navel upwards
6. Eem – the flow of your consciousness from the base of your spine at Muladhara up to your Third Eye at the Agya Chakra up your spinal cord.
7. Chant slowly 3 times to start with or 6, 9 or even more up to 108. Slow it down. Observe the breath coming in and filling the white heart pearl. Observe it going out and becoming the golden egg all around you.
Meditation
➤Now meditate at your heart center and experience the bliss there and lightness to your being. You are becoming Karma-Free and you feel as light as a feather.
➤To conclude come down to your Muladhara at the tail bone, tighten it a bit and then sigh out a huge relaxing Aaahhh.
Conclusion
➤Now relax. Get up, rub your hands and turn your self to the 4 directions and send Peace to everyone and everything. Send your Love, Prana and Shakti to the whole world. Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi. Peace. Peace. Peace. Namaha
