Meditation for Guidance: Strengthen the Inner Voice

This practice harnesses the power of japa, or mantra repetition, to confirm and reaffirm your Self through your own sound current, your own voice. It also strengthens a woman’s fifth chakra, and trust in her intuition.

At times when the path of truth and clarity seems lost, calm yourself and still your mind. Then the path will be shown to you. In this meditation the head is bent as if in offering to the Guru or the Higher Self. Besides strengthening your mental direction, it can alleviate any blood disease.

To live life according to the guidance of inner truth is essential. If you do not, you will have doubts. If doubts are not removed, then frustration comes in. Frustration, when not released, leads to anger. Anger then leads to destructive action either to the Self, others, or both. To stop this vicious cycle, create the habit to still the Self and ask questions of your own higher consciousness. This meditation can develop that capacity.

This meditation develops the capacity to stop the vicious cycle of frustration, self-doubt, and anger. The head is bent, as if offering oneself to the great unknown, or higher self. 

“Watch out for your worst enemy—whoever steals your stability is your worst enemy. It’s not evil—that makes you strong. Rather it is those who lay emotional tantrums. They say, ‘You are no friend if you are not miserable when I am.’ We must work together against our own sickness.” ~ Yogi Bhajan
