Everything
6
Contemplate the meaning of this mantra for a
moment (silence).
7
Realize that is the Goal of Life!
8
PositionNow let us experience how involving the
physical body can further calm our mind.
9
Sit with your back straight and tall. Lift your
neck and head away from your shoulders.
10
Pillows can be used to lift the spine. (Do not
sit on the pillows but rather position them
just at the edge of the base of the spine to lift
the spine.)
11
BreathBreathe from the Diaphragm.Bring your
attention to your breathing.
12
Breathe in through your nose, filling your lungs
from the bottom with air. Your stomach area will
expand first (put your hand on your stomach to
feel it raise), then your middle, and finally you
will notice your shoulders will rise a little bit.
13
Pause(Between breathing in and breathing
out)and recognize the stillness.Notice the
energy released from the bottom of your stomach,
upward.
14
Breathe out nowallowing your stomach to
contract as you let the air out (the reverse of
breathing in).
15
Pause (Between breathing in and breathing out)
and recognize the stillness.Notice how the
energy released from the bottom of your stomach
races to your head (higher chakras).
16
Be still and know that I am God.(Psalms 4610)
17
Relax
18
Release any tension in your body.
19
Continue to practice breathing this way.
20
With each breath, feel yourself RELAX more and
more deeply.
21
Eyes ClosedClose your eyes now, and continue
breathing rhythmically from your diaphragm.
22
Breathe inPause (recognize!)Breathe
outPause (recognize!)
23
The eyes are the most powerful sense. Our eyes
see, then our hearts desire.
24
When we close our eyes, we are closing a very
powerful sense.
25
Also, we are not letting that energy go out from
our eyes.
26
By closing our sense of sight, we also become
more familiar with other senses in our bodies.
27
Breathe inPauseBreathe outPauseRelax
28
When our senses are allowed to be wild, we have
no control over them. They are taking us in
different directions. The senses are in control.
The senses are the reality of our lives. That
is when the senses pull us toward the external
world.
29
Universal MantraThis time, as you breathe in,
say to yourself the first part of the Universal
MantraHaree Om Shrii Hung
30
Pause as you recognize the stillness, recognize
the energy released at this stillness!
31
Now breathe outOm Nam Kevalam
32
Recognize again the stillness as you pause, and
again recognize the energy released at this
stillness and how it rushes to the mind (higher
chakras)!
33
Think The Goal Of The Life Is to Be(Come)
Divine.Pause/recognizeThat Divinity (God) Is
EverythingPause/recognize
34
If your mind starts to wander, gently bring it
back to the rhythm of the breath and the HOSH
mantra.
35
In this point you also can practice the
meditation process given in the class seven in
these meditation classesContinue this
meditation for a few minutes, and then reverse
the process.
36
Closing the eyes and concentrating on mantras is
best for sharpening the spiritual understanding
of the aspirant.
