Lie on your back, fully relaxing your face and body. Inhale deeply, hold the breath in and silently repeat ten times, "I am Grace of God." Exhale all the breath out. Hold the breath out and silently repeat ten times, "I am Grace of God." Continue breathing and repeating the mantra in this manner for a total of five inhalations and five exhalations.
After the cycle is completed, relax your breath, and with eyes still closed, come sitting up into easy pose. Bring your right index finger curled under your thumb, the other three fingers straight, palm up, wrist resting on the knee, elbow straight. The left hand is held up by the left shoulder as if taking an oath. The breath should be relaxed.
Tense one finger of the left hand at a time, keeping the other fingers straight, but relaxed. Repeat aloud, "I am Grace of God," five times. Continue this sequence with all the fingers and thumb of that hand, meditating on the inherent energy in each –
The little finger: representing Mercury, power of communication; The ring finger: Sun-Venus, physical health, grace and beauty; The middle finger: Saturn, patience, transforming emotion to devotion, responsibility; The index finger: Jupiter, wisdom and expansion; The thumb: positive ego.
When both parts of the meditation are completed, lower the left hand and relax for a few minutes. Download Grace of God Meditation.
"Recognize the Divine light within all,
and do not consider social class or status; there
are no classes or castes, hereafter." -- Guru Nanak Dev
"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets
even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or
Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all
the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great
street sweeper who did his job well." -- Dr. Martin Luther King
"The entire universe is just One Person. There are no two persons. There
is One Link of a breath of life, which comes from me to you, to you, to you.
It is all linked with One Thing. When it is disconnected, you are gone. We are all
One Mala, One Rosary, linked with One Thread to the breath of life." -- Yogi Bhajan
"Think
about it. You grew your magnificent brain, perhaps the most compicated
thing in the world. And you grew it without even thinking about it. A supremely
intelligent Life Force of unknown origin created and sustains this wondrous
miracle of life. It's what we refer to
as God." -- WhoAreTheSikhs.com
"Underneath
the superficial self, which pays attention to this and that, there
is another self more really us than I. And the more you become aware
of
the Unknown Self -- if you become aware of it -- the more you realize
that it is
inseparably connected with everything else that is. You are a function
of this total
galaxy, bounded by the Milky Way, and this galaxy is a function of
all other galaxies.
You are that vast thing that you see far, far off with great telescopes.
You look and
look, and one day you are going to wake up and say, "Why, that's
me!" And in
knowing that, you know that you never die. You are the eternal thing
that comes
and goes, that appears -- now as John Jones, now as Mary Smith, now
as
Betty Brown -- and so it goes, forever and ever and ever." -- Alan Watts
"The job of a spiritual teacher is to poke, provoke, confront and elevate." -- Yogi
Bhajan
"The mere act of teaching implies that one wishes the world well." -- Roger Rosenblatt
“A teacher affects eternity: he can never tell where his influence stops.” -- Henry Adams
"It is incumbent on those who know to teach those who do not know." -- Hari

is a special assortment of just a few of the hundreds of links to

NOTE: Awtar, Avtar, or Avatar means self-embodiment of the Supreme in the physical form. More.
