The Guru Gobind Singh Shakti Mantra Meditation calms the nerves and opens the door to the experience of ecstasy. The relationship between your life in the finite and the Infinite depends on the rhythm of the breath. By controlling the breath, this kriya can give you a consciousness of ecstasy and calm the nerves. This calmness can also help to reduce fevers.
A state of ecstasy exists within us all the time. It is not dependent on the caprice of circumstance and personality. It is an infinite pool that refreshes the heart and gives us strength to create a better self and a better world. It is available—we only need to access it. This meditation is a tool that opens the door to that experience of ecstasy.
This is the science of Laya Yoga. It is precise and exacting. Laya Yoga is the science of relating breath, rhythm, and mantra to produce altered states of consciousness. Each japa (repetition of mantra) creates tapa (psychic heat). When you rotate the breath and volume of sound properly, it creates heat that burns off karma.
Before you begin your practice, tune-in by chanting the mantra Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo
How to chant the mantra Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo
Sit in Easy Pose with your spine straight. Press your palms together in Prayer Pose at the center of the chest, sides of the thumbs pressed against the sternum. With your eyes closed, focus your concentration at the Third Eye Point located between the eyebrows at the root of the nose, about a half inch under the skin. Inhale deeply and as you exhale chant Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo, on one breath. The sound Dev is chanted a minor third higher than the other sounds. If you cannot chant it all on one breath, take a short breath after Ong Namo. Repeat the mantra three times. The meaning of Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo is: I call on the creative infinite consciousness of the universe. I call on the divine wisdom within me.
