There are aspects of speaking that can make a word effective or not. If you develop a habit to tap the energy of the navel with the tip of the tongue, then each word penetrates, whether you speak that word out loud or mentally. Often we speak and let the words run unconsciously off the tongue. It is like a detached information stream rather than an energy-filled phrase that grasps the heart and sculpts the cosmos.
This meditation increases the power of your word to use in prayer. The navel and the tip of the tongue have to be one for effective prayer. Your words become pure and prana-filled with this practice.
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.
