Meditation for Clarity (with a Prosperity Bonus) aka Getting Rid of Your Couldn't

 

Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh

The etymology of the word clairvoyance, is from the mid-19th century French, meaning to see clearly. Be-ing clairvoyant doesn't necessarily mean one has the ability to predict or alter the future. Clairvoyance means that your energy channels are fluid: unobstructed on the inside and the outside. You are transmitting and receiving Divinely channeled guidance, very much like an antenna and a radio signal. This meditation strengthens our clarity so that we are not swayed inwardly by our minds nor outwardly by our circumstances. It removes doubt and clears the way for the realization of our desires and positive intentions. 

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: Cross the middle fingers over the backs of the index fingers, locking the other two fingers down with the thumbs. Bend the elbows and bring the mudra up to ear level. 

FOCUS: Eyes are closed. No specified focus. 

MANTRA: Tantric Har. The translation is "God as the Creative Infinity." It affirms our ability to co-create. In combination with the pump of the belly, releases the navel energy to be circulated at the heart.

TIME: 11 minutes

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

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. 
NOTES: Sometimes when we intend to do something, our ego gets the best of us and we are unable to see it through. This meditation is a tool to strengthen the clarity and positivity of our will so that the highest good of our intentions is not waylaid by circumstance. It takes away the ‘couldn’t’ and gives us our excellence.

Meditation to Bring Prosperity into Your Life

Art by Zake Yonkou

Welcome all new, returning and crash n burning R & B Yogis! We are back again to "Bring Prosperity into Your Life" with a 3 part kriya that we will do for 40 consecutive days. The entire session takes a little over 15 minutes from start to finish. So give yourself plenty of time in the morning to get it in. And don't be shy about changing positions and stretching your legs in between sections. I still think morning practice is the best because it sets the tone for your day and it also gives little time to create excuses not to do it. Without intending our minds create a million and one excuses to not sit that ass down. But one's practice should be as vital as one's hygiene. So don't be spiritually stank. Make this meditation, MAKE YOU your priority and watch the abundance flow!

PART ONE: 

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: Place your right hand palm facing outward like you are taking an oath while your left hand in flat on top of your navel.

FOCUS: Eyes are closed. No specified focus. 

PRANAYAM: Long deep breathing. 

TIME: 8 minutes.

PART TWO: 

MUDRA: Only finger tips touching in front of your heart center. Not the palms. 

MANTRA: Whistle Ardas Bhaee:

Ardas Bhaee, Amar Das Guru

Amar Das Guru, Ardas Bhaee

Ram Das Guru, Ram Das Guru

Ram Das Guru, Sachee Sahee

Translation: “The prayer has gone out, Guru Amar Das hears the prayer and Guru Ram Das confirms it and is the true guarantee, that it is accepted.”

FOCUS: Eyes remain closed. 

PRANAYAMA: If you can, take one deep breath and whistle the entire mantra on that one breath. If you are not able, you can breathe as you whistle. And if you can not whistle, try to learn. And/or listen to a recording (that doesn't make your ears bleed lol) 

TIME: 4.5 minutes. 

COMMENTS: “That whistle is the most powerful tape ever in the planet man can manifest. That tape is very good. We do not want even to say the words with it, because we don’t want to sell the words. We want people to just whistle. Because that permutation, combination, or rhythm of the breath with that whistling is most powerful. It has a very powerful subliminal effect. It’s personal… You whistle and it will rhythmically force the lungs to throw the toxins all out and you are cleansed. Whistle—it takes away fatigue. When soldiers get tired, they start whistling.”

PART THREE:

MUDRA: Extend the arms to the sides, right palm up and the left palm facing down. Like a dervish feel the heavens and the earth 

PRANAYAM: Take a deep breath inhaling and hold the breath for 25 seconds. Then exhale with a cannon-fire breath as you exhale. Repeat 3Xs. The last time, while you are holding your breath, mentally say to yourself in the kindest and sweetest of ways: "It is ME and my purity that will give me health, wealth and happiness." Claim it. Exhale and relax. 

TO FINISH: Resume your normal breathing and let the mantra, mudra and pranayama circulate in your body, mind and spirit. Then say aloud the Warrior Healer's Affirmations.

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. 
NOTES: Prosperity doesn’t necessarily mean that we have wealth, health, and happiness. When a person is prosperous, there is that fragrance of security, grace, depth, character, and truthfulness, which that person can share. Like a rose emits fragrance, or a candle emits light, a prosperous human emits prosperity. 

You can practice this kriya for up to 62 minutes by dividing the time equally among the three parts. If you extend the times, don’t extend them proportionately, practice each part equally. 

Ok yogis there it is! Crash and burning is not even an option for us. We have to fight for this one. Like everything in life. It is what makes us warrior healers. And the world is ever more in need of us. And although everything we need is already here, we have to meet the universe/God/ourselves half way. We have to put the energy into practice: display in mind body and spirit, what we desire...we deserve.

INFINITE ABUNDANCE MEDITATION

 

  Art by Brittany Blythe-Williams

Welcome back new, returning and crash n burning R & B Yogis! Happy New Year! Another year with more opportunities for us to burn karma and clear the way for our blessings to reach us. These are crucial times for us collectively and individually. We are being asked what are core values are and what we are willing to sacrifice, if anything, to make this planet better. We are also entering an election year and it looks like fascism is officially on the ballot. We need our minds clear and our channels flowing freely so that we can be properly guided and receive the abundance that is ours. So lets start by recommitting to our own deep spiritual practice. And when we reap our harvest, we will share the fruits of our labor with those less fortunate than ourselves with the intention of creating a more equitable world. Lets build it together. One breath at a time.

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: Bring the thumbs to touch the mound of the Mercury finger (pinkie) and fold the fingers over the thumb to make tight fists. Bring the forearms parallel to the floor at the Heart Center. Knuckles face each other with a one-inch gap between the hands.

FOCUS: The eye focus is on the tip of the nose.

MANTRA: Chant HAR 4 times out loud, 4 times in a whisper continuously. Make sure the tongue flicks up to the upper palate. The upper palate is connected to the pineal gland. The translation of Har from Gurmuhki to English is God. 

TIME: 11 minutes.

COMMENTS: This meditation contains the ego and allows you to focus on your true identity as a spiritual being with unlimited potential and self-worth. When we put the thumb (ego) at the mound of the Mercury finger, we transform our ego identity through the influence of Mercury, Sun, Saturn and Jupiter. This transformation includes mastering expansion (Jupiter), wisdom and patience (Saturn), endurance (Sun) and communication (Mercury) towards our spiritual identity. We use the mantra HAR to bring new opportunities into our life. By creating mastery at the heart center, we can transform our passion and heart energy into personal and financial success within our spiritual life. Remember—doing meditations creates the opportunity to change our attitudes towards our world. When you do this meditation for at least 120 days, your subconscious can shift into a larger, more expansive attitude about being prosperous (pro-spirit).

TO FINISH: Resume your normal breathing and let the mantra, mudra and pranayama circulate in your body, mind and spirit. Then say aloud the Warrior Healer's Affirmations.

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. 
So there it is yogis! Lets release what remains of previous years and invite new expansive energy and abundance into 2024. This will be a critical year for ourselves and the planet.
