Meditation for Self-Assessment

This kriya helps us assess how well we coordinate our actions and our words, and begin to bring them into harmony. If they are out of alignment, there will be a duality in personality that we experience as conflict. It is important to regularly assess ourselves in this manner, until the mind is trained to say only what is true. Then we can know the full depth of the self and the unlimited creativity of our human existence.

Before you begin your practice, tune-in by chanting the mantra Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo

Part 1: Affirmation

Note: This kriya is especially well-suited to a class setting, where the students can repeat after the teacher. If you would like to practice at home, you can either make a recording of yourself speaking the words and use that for a call and response, or you can simply read the words aloud. 

Posture: Sit straight in Easy Pose, hands in Gyan Mudra.

Affirmation: While the teacher speaks these words, the student listens with eyes closed, then repeats the words aloud. Listen carefully.

Repeat the affirmation 1 time, then open your eyes. Assess what percentage of what was said you totally agreed to in consciousness. 

I am an individual.

Very graceful.

Totally pious.

Absolutely perfect.

A living truth.

I am master and owner of this whole Universe.
