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.
