(Almost) Weekly from Be Bliss ™ September 2, 2009

Sat Nam!  Hello all, thanks for tuning in to the Be Bliss Yoga blog.  The summer got away from me a bit and I couldn’t bring m yself inside to update with all of that sunshine!  Hope you were all d oing the same!  One of the great things for me about using the technology of Kundalini Yoga is the ease that it affords to connect to the infinite, to experience the oneness of the universe and the depth of the soul.  Sounds complicated and all new agey, but quite easy and straightforward with the roadmap the kriyas and meditations provide.    This week’s meditation is a great way to promote radiance and stretch yourself to infinity.  It is also a super meditation to improve sleep. 

Meditation of the Week:  Shabd Kriya

Posture:  Easy pose, straight spine. 

Mudra:  Hands in the lap with the right hand on top of the left, the thumbs touch

Breath and mantra:  With the eyes half open and focused at the tip of the nose, inhale in 4 equal parts, mentally chanting SA TA NA MA.  Hold the breath and repeat the mantra 4 times (16 counts).  Exhale in 2 equal parts mentally projecting WAHE GURU.   Continue for 15-62 minutes.

 

 

This is a great meditation to do at bedtime.  Enjoy a blissful night sleep and awake refreshed and renewed.  Peace to all, May the long time sun shine upon you, Raji

Sat Nam, Hello.  This year, according to numerology is a ’9′ year.  The number 9 represents the Subtle Body, our body’s ability to tap into intuition and a sense of knowing and feeling all.  It is a time of bringing things into completion and wrapping up loose ends.  Clearing out the stuff that is no longer serving you.  This meditation will help you carry you through this 2009.  Give it a try, my husband and I are in the middle of a 40 day meditation with this one!  Most meditations are great to do anytime, this one is best in the evening. 

Isht Sodhana Mantra Kriya (lecture available from www.kriteachings.org )

Posture- Easy pose, straight spine

Mudra- Hands in Gian Mudra (thumb and forefinger touch)

Eyes- 9/10ths closed, focus at the nose

Mantra- Dharti Hai (relates to the earth)  visualize from navel down GRAY

                  Akash Hai (relates to the ethers) visualize from brow point up BLUE (still see Gray also)

                 Guru Ram Das Hai (compassion of the heart) visualize bright WHITE at heart center (and gray and blue)

To End- Inhale, hold the breath, hold the visualization of the gray of the earth, blue of the ethers, white of the heart, exhale the breath.  Inhale, stretch arms up over head, shake arms, relax.

Have fun with this,  share it with a friend.   Until next week, May the Long Time Sun Shine Upon You, Raji
