NAAD MEDITATION FOR ALL THE THINGS

 

Art by Kim Clark

Welcome Nu, Returning and Crash n Burning R & B Yogis! We bring you the Harvest Moon in Aries with a a side of Venus and Mercury in RX. The Harvest aka Corn Moon is a good time to reflect upon what you have planted and reap what you have sown over the past year. All of the other celestial goings on can be read here in an article on BUSTLE. And serendipitously, this meditation will serve up all that is being offered to us: boldness, bravery, abundance, intuition, and clarity. Let's be consistent and get it in every day over the next 40 days like our karma depends on it. 

TO BEGIN: Sit in Easy Pose. If you are unable to sit in "easy pose," you may sit on a hard chair and cross your feet underneath you. 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 to the center of your forehead. Rub your hands together and bring them to PRAYER POSE in front of your chest pressing your thumbs against your sternum. 

On two breaths, chant the opening mantra ONG NA MO sip air through a rounded mouth then chant 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.

* For OG R & B Yogis * OPENING MANTRA #2: Chant AAD GURAY NAMEH, JUGAAD GURAY NAMEH, SAT GURAY NAMEH SIRI GURU DAVAY NAMEH three times. Translation: I bow to the Wisdom in the beginning. I bow to the Wisdom through the Ages. I bow to the True Wisdom. I bow to the great, unseen Wisdom. This mantra surrounds you with white protective light. 

MUDRA: With your arms bent by your sides, with your palms facing forward, pressing hard first your Jupiter (Index) finger then your Sun (ring) finger. Alternating fingers at a steady pace.  

MANTRA: The mantra is SAA RAE. Chanted monotone. As you press your Jupiter finger, chant SAA. As you press your Sun finger, chant RAE. 

Translation: Sa means infinity. Rae means the Sun. 

TIME: 11 minutes. 

TO FINISH: Inhale and hold onto the breath for as long as possible. Exhale slowly through the mouth and keep it out for as long as it feels comfortable. Repeat two more times. 

TO CLOSE: Hold your hands in Gyan Mudra, Prayer Pose or Buddha mudra with one hand sitting inside of the other with your thumbs touching, and repeat the Warrior Healer's Affirmations. 

Chant SAT NAM 3 times on one breath. Bring your hands to your forehead and bow sealing the work in your frontal lobe your center for decision making. 

NOTES: This meditation changes the chemistry of the brain. All communication is based on the chemistry and interchange within the brain. The fingertips are points of stimulation for the different areas of the brain. The naad rhythm opens creativity and sensitivity to speak from the heart. Good communication expresses the real you. It projects the whole self. It discharges your honest self. Clear communication is fearless and does not need anything from the person to whom you are speaking. When you speak out of neediness you distort the real message of your heart. This meditation lets you know where your heart is and what is in it.

The mantra removes adversity, it helps clear old patterns, brings prosperity and peace, strengthens communication, awakens intuition and brings deep emotional balance.
