Meditation for Prosperity and Interdependence

Art by Gordon Wood

Dependence has become a bad word. It is synonymous with neediness weakness and addiction. In our hyper individualistic and pseudo-independent society, we have gotten further and further away from the positive aspects of family and community like interdependence, coexistence and sustainability. This meditation is for prosperity and interdependence. It stimulates the upper palate and hypothalamus which will awaken the pineal gland, which is considered "the seat of the soul." This awakening to ourselves, and our spiritual gifts, is one of the main reasons we do this practice. It is a life long process and definitely bears its fruits in the material and spiritual planes when done with consistency. But you HAVE to be disciplined. I can't stress this enough. It isn't enough to want something. You HAVE to do the practice. It doesn't get easier than this meditation. No posture. No mudra. No mantra. No pranayama. Make YOU the priority. NO EXCUSES. Lets get to it. 

POSTURE: Sit in Easy Pose. Or if you are unable to sit on the floor you may sit in a chair and cross your ankles.                                                                                                                    

MUDRA: No mudra. Hands in any relaxed position. I like Buddha Mudra which is the left hand sitting inside the right with your thumbs touching.

TO BEGIN: Sit in an Easy Pose, with a light jalandhar bandh, or neck lock. Keep the spine straight. Rub your hands together. Press your thumbs against your sternum holding your hands in prayer pose. Roll your eyes in and up towards your third-eye by crossing your eyes at the bridge of your nose and then lifting your eyes about an inch and a half. If you are unable to sit in "easy pose," you may sit on a hard chair and cross your feet underneath you. 

On two breaths, chant the opening mantra ONG NA MA GURU DEV NAMO which means "I bow to the infinite wisdom within." Do this 3 times. For the proper cadence and pronunciation, listen here. If you like what you hear, you can purchase my mantra music on Bandcamp.

MANTRA: No mantra. But you are going to make a strong clucking sound with your tongue. Creating suction against the upper palate then releasing it. Should sound like a loud drip of water. 

TIME: No more than three minutes. Longer than three minutes will be detrimental to you. 

TO FINISH: Say aloud the Warrior Healer's Affirmations.

NOTES: COMMENTS:

“The person most slave-like is the one who is trying to prove he is independent— because life is totally interdependent. Nobody can afford the thought to be independent because even our life is dependent on our breath. Dependency starts on that which this body lives. How independent can you be? 

Your life depends upon the central ear. There are three bones. One hammer bone strikes the other bone. If that bone stops hammering, you’re done. Your whole world of listening depends on your two ears. Your whole universe depends on your two eyes, whether you see or not. If your two nostrils stop breathing, you are dead. Within us still we say, “I want to be independent. I want to prove it to everybody.” Prove what and to whom? There is a certain reality in us, a certain depth in us, a certain self in us. If we enlarge that then we can overcome. 

Stimulate your hypothalamus by doing this exercise, but please don’t do it more than three minutes. More than three minutes and it’s no longer an exercise; it becomes an addiction. I’d like to go on record and warn you that you are entitled to do it for three minutes only.” ~ Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan November 6th, 1990

TO CLOSE: Rub your hands together and bring them to prayer pose, palms touching thumbs pressed against your sternum. Chant Long SAT NAM on one breath. Repeat this for a total of three times. Bring your hands to your forehead and bow. This seals the work in your frontal lobe. Your center for decision making.

Meditation to Realize Your Feminine Power

 

Welcome New Returning and Crash n Burning R & B Yogis! It feels good to be back in the saddle again. Or in this case, back on the mat. I've been a crash n burner on the past few meditations and I am hoping (and praying) I don't let anything get between me and this practice. We all know how much the science and medicine works when we are consistent with it. I, like you, could really use a win right now. Lets do our best to make that happen for ourselves. This meditation is for expanding our arc line. All genders have an arc line that goes from ear to ear. But persons with breasts have an additional arc line that goes across the heart line, nipple to nipple. These arc lines serve as protection and projection of the individual. This meditation fortifies the feminine arc line enabling us to realize our power. And no better time to do that than during eclipse season where we should be letting go of old ways of BEing and stepping into a new improved existence.

TO BEGIN: Sit in an Easy Pose, with a light jalandhar bandh, or neck lock. Keep the spine straight. Rub your hands together. Press your thumbs against your sternum holding your hands in prayer pose. Roll your eyes in and up towards your third-eye by crossing your eyes at the bridge of your nose and then lifting your eyes about an inch and a half. If you are unable to sit in "easy pose," you may sit on a hard chair and cross your feet underneath you. 

On two breaths, chant the opening mantra ONG NA MA GURU DEV NAMO which means "I bow to the infinite wisdom within." Do this 3 times. For the proper cadence and pronunciation, listen here. If you like what you hear, you can purchase my mantra music on Bandcamp.

PART ONE

MUDRA: Hold your SATURN (middle) and JUPITER (index) fingers together while the other fingers are being held down by the thumb. Bring your hands out to the sides and then have your fingers touch in front of your navel 

MANTRA: HAR which means God, the Creative Infinity. It affirms our ability to co-create. And is used as a prosperity mantra. 

FOCUS: Keep the eyes closed.

PRANAYAMA: Pull the navel as you chant HAR. Find the breathing that feels most comfortable. Avoid hyper-ventilating. 

TIME: 9 minutes

PART TWO

MUDRA: Same mudra as part one, but this time your LEFT arm is bent in front of your chest parallel to the ground and the RIGHT arm is pointed straight towards the Heavens. 

MANTRA: Mentally project HAR in silence. With no sound. No movement. Remain still and steady. 

TO FINISH: Say aloud the Warrior Healer's Affirmations.

NOTES: The heart center arc line is imprinted with the experiences a woman has gone through in life. This meditation helps you conquer mind over matter projecting a new reality. Whatever you vibrate, you become.

TO CLOSE: Rub your hands together and bring them to prayer pose, palms touching thumbs pressed against your sternum. Chant Long SAT NAM on one breath. Repeat this for a total of three times. Bring your hands to your forehead and bow. This seals the work in your frontal lobe. Your center for decision making.

Earthquake Meditation

Greetings New, Returning and Crash n Burning R & B Yogis! If we share the same universe (if you are reading this, more than likely do) it feels like there has been one calamity after the other ever since 2023. Be it climate catastrophe, forever wars, genocide, the end of the rule of law, human rights abuses combined with our own life 'ish...these are challenging times to say the least! Staying sane, let alone function, at any capacity is practically impossible. But I have always, and continue to, turn towards spiritual practice for grounding whenever everything around me is seemingly falling apart. This meditation does exactly that! It is for when you have lost your ground. It is the Earthquake Meditation.

TO BEGIN: Sit in an Easy Pose, with a light jalandhar bandh, or neck lock. Keep the spine straight. Rub your hands together. Press your thumbs against your sternum holding your hands in prayer pose. Roll your eyes in and up towards your third-eye by crossing your eyes at the bridge of your nose and then lifting your eyes about an inch and a half. If you are unable to sit in "easy pose," you may sit on a hard chair and cross your feet underneath you. 

On two breaths, chant the opening mantra ONG NA MA GURU DEV NAMO which means "I bow to the infinite wisdom within." Do this 3 times. For the proper cadence and pronunciation, listen here. If you like what you hear, you can purchase my mantra music on Bandcamp.

MUDRA: Slightly cup you LEFT hand and hold it over the left ear. Hold your elbow in fron tof you so that your upper arm is parallel to the ground. Bring your RIGHT hand in Conch Mudra by your ear. To do Conch Mudra, make a fist by curling in your fingers and press your thumb on the outside of your fist. 

MANTRA: Gently strike the side of your head in time with the Panj Shabd: SA TA NA MA

The Translation from Gurmukhi is:

SA - the beginning, the infinite, and the totality of everything. Ta - signifies life, existence, and birth. It reminds us that life is a gift and encourages us to live each moment fully. 

Na - represents death, transformation, and the cyclical nature of life. 

Ma - symbolizes rebirth and regeneration.

FOCUS: Keep the eyes closed.

PRANAYAMA: Normal breathing. 

TIME: 11 minutes

TO FINISH: Say aloud the Warrior Healer's Affirmations.

NOTES: The magnetic relationship of the two hemispheres of the brain is readjusted with this meditation. This meditation can readjust your electromagnetic field after an earthquake or other trauma. 

TO CLOSE: Rub your hands together and bring them to prayer pose, palms touching thumbs pressed against your sternum. Chant Long SAT NAM on one breath. Repeat this for a total of three times. Bring your hands to your forehead and bow. This seals the work in your frontal lobe. Your center for decision making.
