Surround
Yourself With Protection
The
Sensory Human vibrates the Cosmos.* It is through sound that
this cosmic vibration happens. The highest sounds are cosmic
frequencies known as mantras or naad yoga. These sounds have
a penetrating power.
The
meditation below is an experience of the six "unchangeable
sounds" -- Har, Hare, Haree, Whahe Guru** They affect
the six directions: east, west, north, south, up, and down.
In Yogi Bhajan’s words, "The mantra Har, Hare,
Haree, Whahe Guru has six sounds. Don’t take it only
as a mantra -- these six sounds are unchangeable sounds. What
surrounds you is six: The four directions, up and down. Meditate
on these six in this way, and they will cover you."
Chhe
Kriya*
Sit
in Easy Pose, i.e., legs crossed, spine straight. Touch the
tip of the thumb to the tip of the Jupiter finger (index finger).
The other fingers are relaxed. With your hands in this mudra,
close your eyes, and move your arms in the following sequence.
Chant using the tip of your tongue.
Stretch
your arms out to the sides with the palms facing forward.
Keep your elbows straight. Chant - Har.
Without
bringing your hands near your shoulders, move your hands directly
in front of you with your palms down, elbows by your sides,
and your forearms pointing straight out in front of your body.
Chant - Hare (Haray).
Bring
your hands up by your shoulders, palms facing away. Chant
- Haree.
Again,
stretch your arms out to the sides with the palms facing forward,
as in 1 above. Chant - Wha.
Again,
as in 2, bring your hands directly in front of you, elbows
by your sides, and your forearms pointing straight out in
front of your body, palms down. Chant - He (Hay).
Again, bring your hands up near your shoulders,
as in 3. Chant - Guru (Guroo). Continue this sequence for
11 minutes.
To
finish: Inhale, hold the breath 15-20 seconds, keep your arms
in 6 position, and squeeze your rib cage as you stretch your
spine upward. Exhale. Repeat this sequence two more times.
Ra
Ma Da Sa
Healing Meditation

Heal yourself. Heal the world.
Posture:
Sit in easy pose.
Focus: Eyes are closed and focused at the third-eye point.
Mantra: Ra Ma Da Sa, Sa Say So Hung. The mantra should be
sung in one complete exhalation. As you chant the first Sa,
your navel point is pulled in so that this syllable is abbreviated.
You should also pull your navel point in as you chant Hung.
Hung should be vibrated at the root of the nose. The rest
of the syllables are drawn out in a strong, powerful chant.
Strive to keep your chant at full volume (loud but not raucous)
throughout the meditation.
Meaning of the Mantra:
Ra = sun energy
Ma = moon energy
Da = earth energy
Sa = infinity, universal energy
Sa (repeated)
Say = the personal embodiment of Sa
So = the personal sense of merger with Sa
Hung = the Infinite, vibrating and real
This mantra literally means: “I am Thou." It can
also mean, "the service of God is within me.“
Mudra: Bend the arms and bring the elbows against the side
of the rib cage. The palms of the hands are parallel and face
the sky (see photo of Snatam Kaur above). The elbows are snug
at your sides with the forearms in close to your upper arms.
The hands are at a 60 degree angle, halfway between pointing
forward and pointing to the sides.
Time: 11 minutes.
End: Inhale deeply, hold your breath and visualize the person
you want to send healing to (it can be yourself). Make that
image in your mind very clear and see a glowing green light
around the person. Keeping that person in your mind, exhale.
Inhale deeply, hold your breath and continue to send the person
healing green light. Still keeping that vision in your mind,
exhale. For the last time, inhale deeply, hold your breath
and see the person very clearly, see the green healing light
bathing the person, bathing every cell in the body.
Exhale
and relax.
Kirtan
Kriya aka
Sa Ta Na Ma Meditation
A meditation to improve brain function
and stop Alzheimer's Disease.

Note: This specific meditation
has been shown to halt the
disease and-or improve the condition of Alzheimer's patients.
See
research notes.
Posture:
Sit straight in easy pose as shown or in a chair. Meditate
at the brow point (third eye) and produce the five primal
sounds: Sa, Ta, Na, Ma.
These
Sanskrit sounds, Sa, Ta, Na, Ma, translate respectively to
birth, life, death, rebirth.
On
"Sa" touch the first finger, index finger, (Jupiter
finger) with the thumb tip.
On "Ta" touch the middle finger (Saturn finger)
with the thumb tip.
On "Na" touch the ring finger (Sun finger) with
the thumb tip.
On "Ma" touch the pinky (Mercury finger) with the
thumb tip.
Eyes: Eyes are closed and focused at the brow point.

Time: Continue chanting, Sa Ta Na Ma, for a total of 18 or
30 minutes as follows.
Chant
out loud for 3 or 5 minutes
Chant in a whisper for 3 or 5 minutes
Chant mentally in silence for 6 or 10 mintues
Chant in a whisper for 3 or 5 minute
Chant out loud for 3 or 5 minutes
To
End: Inhale deeply. Stretch the hands up as far as possible
and spread them wide. Stretch the spine and take several deep
breaths. Relax at least 1 minute.
Comments: The connotation of the word “kriya”
is an action or series of actions that completes a process
and has a predictable outcome. By practicing Kirtan Kriya,
we can begin to understand the cycle of creation. From the
Infinite comes life, from life comes death or change. From
death or change comes the re-birth of consciousness to the
joy of the Infinite through which compassion leads back to
life.
"When
there comes a moment in your life when nothing works, if all
shelter and hope is gone, when enemies overcome you and friends
have left, do this meditation. The sound current has an Infinite
power. It is the only power that is given to the human to
excel. Vaak Siddhi**
is the perfection of the sound projection. Guru Nanak explained
it: ‘Through the mouth you utter a sound current, to
which God listens with love.'
What
you talk is not a sound current. The sound current is that
which you create with the organic matter of your body where
you use your pranas. That has a projective power." Yogi
