This is a beautiful meditation for invoking the psyche of the Mother was given by Yogi Bhajan at KWTC (Khalsa Women’s Training Camp) on July 11, 1986. It can be practiced regardless of whether you have biological children.
“….I am asking you to give yourself a chance. Just feel that you are creative. It is called mother psyche. And you know what mother psyche can do? It can shield you, it can protect you, it can bring you success, it can bring you opportunity…”
–Yogi Bhajan
Experience what a Mother does. Imagine there’s a baby cradled in your arms. With each inhale you are caring for it. Each time you inhale the cradle rises up and down very gently. Don’t feel shy. It is very accurate.
Rakhe Rakhanhar is a protection mantra that realigns the mind with the knowledge that everywhere, God is at work. In meditating on this mantra, we release hostility, resentments, and judgments, calling forth the well-being of all. As the Mother would. No matter what
If you are new to this mantra, it may help to see it written before beginning your practice. Your breath will coordinate with the lines of the mantra, so before you start, you should know where the lines begin and end.
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.
