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.
Navel Pumps
When the 13th, 14th and 15th vertebrae are curved in, the liver is pressured. The faster the navel is pumped, the better will be the result.
Posture: Sit in Easy Pose. Stretch the spine up and curve the spine in; the spine should be totally curved under the shoulder blades with the lower back pulled in and the chest thrust out. A tremendous pressure should be felt under the shoulder blades.
Tilt the head back and down to follow the curve of the spine. Rest the hands on the knees or grasp the shins.
Breath: Deeply inhale and completely exhale. Hold the breath out and pump the navel for 15 seconds. Repeat the cycle a total of 6 times.
Time
Relax for 1 minute 30 seconds – 3 minutes.
