This meditation will develop in you a mature, elevated caliber of endurance, courage, and patience. Caliber is the capacity of an individual to identify the inner self; to communicate and project one’s identity.
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.
Part I
Posture: Sit in Easy Pose with a straight spine. Bend the elbows near the sides, and bring the flattened hands to either side of the shoulders. The palms are facing forward, fingers straight and side by side, pointing towards the ceiling. Extend the thumbs out away from the hands so they are parallel to the ground and point back towards the body. Hands are flat and tight. Continue to keep the spine straight throughout the exercise.
Eyes: Look at the tip of the nose.
Mantra: Har Haray Haree Waa-Hay Guroo.
Chant in very distinct syllables, in a spoken monotone, with a brief pause after each syllable. Pull in on the navel point as you recite each syllable. This exercise helps to open up the navel. Powerfully get into the rhythm and the sound current to make it most effective.
Time
Continue for 31 minutes. To end, inhale, and move directly to Part II.
