A BASIC MEDITATION-1 (For the Beginners)
A simple
technique of meditation is described here: (1) Sit in a clean, quiet,
dark place; in any comfortable posture with head, neck, and spine straight and
vertical. Make sure before starting meditation
breathing is equalized in both nostrils.
(1) No music
or incense during meditation is recommended. The time and place of meditation
should be fixed. Midnight, morning, and evening are the best times to meditate
for 15 to 20 minutes every day. (2) Remember any name or form of the
personal god (Ishta Deva) you believe in, and ask His or Her blessings. (3)
Close your eyes, take 5 to 10 very slow and deep breaths. (4) Fix your
gaze, mind, and feelings inside the chest center, the seat of the causal heart,
and breathe slowly. Mentally chant "So" as you breathe in and
"ham" as you breathe out. Think as if breath itself is making these
sounds “So” and "ham". Mentally visualize the breath going in and
coming out through the nostrils. Do not try to control or lead your breathing;
just watch your natural breathing. (5) Direct the will towards the
thought of merging yourself into the infinite space of the air you are
breathing that is full of sound waves with the symbol of Om as shown below:
If
mind starts to wander, start from step (3) again.
ö Advance Omnic Sound
Meditation Technique ö
A
practical advanced method of meditating on Om is presented for advanced
devotees. This very powerful technique should be practiced only after 108 or more
days of practice of basic Meditation 1.
NOTE: Equalization of the breathing
through both nostrils before meditation is necessary for concentration. One
method is the alternate breathing (or Anuloma-viloma). Another method is: If
you want to equalize the breath in the right nostril, concentrate your mind on
left side of your brain for 30 secs. and check till the breath is equalized.
For the left nostril, concentrate your mind on the right side of the brain.
WARNING: This is a very powerful method, and is known to produce harm
if done without guidance or proper preparation such as Yama and Niyama. Stop
this meditation if you feel some unusual signs and do not drive or use any
machinery while practicing this technique.
This Omnic meditation is the only
meditation mentioned in the Bhagavad-Gita 8.13 by Lord Krishna. Here we provide
the details—based on years of study of yogic scriptures, research, practice and
teaching—for the benefit of advanced seekers. The place of meditation should be
light-free (a dark room), odor-free (no incense), and sound-free (no music) for
the best results. Sit on the floor or on a chair, look straight, close your
eyes, keep arms on knees with palms upward or use any other mudra. A good time
to meditate is before sunrise and sunset.
(1) Take few
deep breaths. Sincerely ask your guru's/ Ishta Deva's, or Lord Shiva's/Ganesha's blessings for
success in meditation before starting. (2)
Inhale slowly and deeply through nose.
(3) Hold the
breath for a second then exhale
slowly and
(4) Chant a strong
but soft, audible, continuous, sound vibration of OM (as O…O...o…o...o.. M...m…m...m….m..) with complete sincerity while
slowly exhaling through the mouth.
Let the mind and eyes be focused at
an imaginary origin of the Omnic sound situated at the pituitary gland (the master gland) inside the brain—located
four inches deep from the mid-brows (Also called Ājnā or sixth
chakra).
The place
above the pituitary gland is also known as the seventh chakra or the baby’s soft spot on top of the head. Keep your mind and eyes focused at the
seventh chakra, and imagine that a shining energy of Omnic sound wave is
radiating from the pituitary
gland to the seventh chakra
and is filling your entire skull with the sound of Om and feel the vibration at the top of your head.
The secret is, eventually, not to
utter any sound, but make your mind submerge into the fullness of the sound by
entering into the core of the Om sound
and trying to become one with it in love of Om. The sound you are using here is not an arbitrary or ordinary
sound, but a symbol of the Reality—the fullness of the universe, and the very
subtle transcendental sound of cosmic vibration.
Repeat the process 5 or more times
starting at step (2): Continue the
process in steps (2) to (4) with a humming
Om sound from nose only, then with slow Om sound and in the end
just mental
Om sound for 10 to 15 minutes total. Practice twice a day for one to
three months, and then slowly and gradually increase the time of mental
chanting to 25 minutes.
APPENDIX 2. Chakra balancing and healing with Om
It is sometimes possible to revive or heal
a person by intoning Om in their right
ear. Ultra sound therapy is used to treat pain and promote healing. Om is the
super ultra-cosmic sound! Om is the
Creative Power of the Supreme God. Visualize
a sphere of gentle vibrating white light at the base of your spine. Softly
chant Om a few times as you find the light becoming brighter and spreading
horizontally and vertically below your seat. Next visualize the vibrating light
going up on the rung of each chakra-ladder; stopping for a while to energize
each chakra point. After reaching the seventh chakra, come down the ladder
slowly, calmly and with a feeling of love of Om. Repeat the process 3
times. Om!
