Intuition gives us the ability to know something directly without analytic reasoning. It bridges the gap between the conscious and unconscious parts of our mind, and also between instinct and reason. Simply put, it is when we just know.
This meditation strengthens the inner knowing, bringing our intuition to the forefront as a guiding tool. Often, we find ourselves derailed from our purpose due to karma from unconscious thoughts, habits, and actions.
This brings the intuition under control. It will cut across human rationality and logic, and set you on faith.
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.
The Gong
“Why do we need intuition? We need it every moment. Why? Because we want to know. If we don’t know, we have to hustle. And all our precious life is wasted in hustling. Are you even enough to survive against every odd? There is only one way to do it. You must have your own intuition, and your spirit must talk to you.” ~ Yogi Bhajan
Posture: Sit as a yogi—as your exalted self.
Eyes: The eyes are closed.
Mental Focus: Concentrate between the eyebrows and the root of the nose. Just concentrate deeper and deeper until you reach self-hypnosis—the point where everything of you is gone. Only the pituitary point and you live. Concentrate. Amalgamate yourself. Accelerate your hypnotic trance created by the Self. Go deeper and deeper and deeper.
Music & Mantra: The gong is played (if there is no gong available, there are many gong recordings available). Simultaneously, Ang Sang Wahe Guru by Nirinjan Kaur is played just loud enough that it can be heard when the gong sound starts to fade.
Eyes: Close the eyes and concentrate and get into a self-hypnotic state in silence.
