Meditation to make you aware and to stimulate the brain

Sit in easy pose and place the hands behind the neck, interlocking the fingers.

Begin chanting “Har” from the navel point, pulling the elbows forward each time “Har” in chanted.        3 Minutes

This exercise stimulates the feeling of the the brain and makes you able to speak so people can hear you.

Meditation for grounding

Sit in easy pose with the hands in prayer pose.

Keeping the hands together inhale and raise the arms up straight.  It is like the position for Sat Kriya.

Begin, as in Sat Kriya, chanting Sat Nam, pulling the navel with each repetition.

After three repetitions, slowly chant Wahe Guru as the hands are slowly brought down to the heart level against the body.  Repeat this cycle.

Continue for 3 Min, increasing to 11 Minutes

Meditation for Fear

Sit in easy pose and grasp the Sun (ring) finger of the left hand with all the fingers of the right hand.  The thumb of the left hand goes under the right hand.

Chant Ra Ma Da Sa Sa Se So Hung. 3 Minutes

When you feel like you are stuck

Sitting in easy pose, hold your arms in front of your chest, forearms parallel to the ground.  Place the right hand over the left, about 6 inches, pointing in opposite directions.
Palms are facing downward.
Move the hands in and out very rapidly.
The right hand moves outward away from you as the left hand moves inward toward you.  Then the left hand moves outward and the right hand inward. 

Keep up this motion for 3 minutes.

Inhale deeply, hold, then exhale, 3 times.

Kriya for anxiety

A.  Sit in easy pose with the hands in prayer pose in front of the chest.  Then move the hands downward with fingers pointing away from the body and then back up again to the original position.  This is a fast, shaking motion.  Long deep breathing.                  3 Minutes

B.  Still sitting in easy pose, extend the arms forward, bending the arms at the elbow.  Keep the elbows in close to the body, upper arms extend somewhat beyond the shoulder, palms are open and facing the body.  Begin bringing the hands in toward the body and then back out again.  The movement is about 12 inches.  Form a circle with the mouth and breathe in and out rapidly through the mouth.     3 Minutes

C.  This is the same as part A., only breathe rapidly in an out through the mouth as in B.   3 Minutes

Meditation to lead a stress-free existence.

It tonifies the heart and the digestive and elimination systems, and circulates prana to the nadies.
Sitting in easy pose, place the arms up at the sides at an angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal, with the palms facing up and inward.  Elbows are straight.  Shake the hands vigorously, allowing the arms, shoulders, body, and legs to shake along with them.  Do this for 3 minutes.
Place the arms straight out in front, horizontal to the ground.  Bend the wrists toward you, so that the Jupiter finger (index finger) points upward.  The other fingers are curled under the thumb.  Moving only the wrists, rotate the Jupiter fingers outward, then downward, then inward, then upward again.  The right hand will have its Jupiter finger rotating clockwise around the wrist, and the left hand counter-clockwise.  The arms remain straight and stationary.  Try to keep the Jupiter finger in a vertical plane moving around the wrist.  Do this for 3 minutes.  Then inhale, hold and squeeze, and exhale, three time.

The Gong by Hari Jiwan Singh LA

THE UNIVERSAL SOUND OF THE GONG

The sound of the gong allows us to move beyond the boundaries of the mind. We have used our mind since birth to perceive the world and through our mind we have constructed our own unique version of reality. Over time we have become habituated with a set of perceptual responses to the incoming data from the world outside our mind. These responses layer and layer upon each other and build up their own magnetic frequency. This magnetic frequency then radiates out from us and attracts similar frequencies. Like attracts like. This is why the change process is so difficult. We can add information. We can add knowledge. We think we know more, and we do. But we have not really changed. Our energetic being remains the same. Our basic magnetic frequency and our layered perceptual filters process the new information in the old habitual ways.  New information does not change us. An energetic shift of our magnetic field changes us.

The universe is powered by sound. The gong is the basic creative sound. Out of the gong comes all music, all sounds, all words. The sound of the gong is the nucleus of the Word.  The mind was created out of this sound: it is like the father and mother together. The gong is the first and last instrument for the human mind. It is the one thing that supersedes the mind. The mind has no power before the gong. It takes three to ninety seconds for the sound of the gong to overtake the mind. Then we are free of the conditioned habitual pattern of the perceptual filters of our magnetic field. We have expanded beyond the frequency of our mental imprints. We now have the opportunity to experience new realms of our own psyche, new energetic aspects of our own being, new dimensions of ourselves.  We have the choice to explore, to create. This is the true flexibility of yoga---the beginning of the union of the finite within the infinite.

Among the tools the yogi has to merge the finite with the infinite the gong reigns supreme. It is not an ordinary thing to play; it is an art to play the gong.  The gong is not a drum or a musical instrument. The gong is a beautiful reinforced vibration. It is an inter-vibratory system. It is like a multitude of strings, like playing a million strings.

Think of the human body as a Divine instrument with strings. We are composed of seventy-two surs or strings. The Crown Chakra-the thousand petal lotus- impacts each of these strings with a thousand-fold vibration. So there are 72,000 vibratory impacts that send energy throughout out our system and these vibrations shape us physically, emotionally, and mentally.  When the gong is played, the vibration of the strings causes all thirty trillion cells of the body to resonate, to dance—forming patterns that release blockages that have prevented the cosmic pulsation to flow freely through our being. Within this creative cosmic flow we find fulfillment, harmony, and love.

When we chant a mantra, if the rhythm is right, and the concentration and surrender to its pulse is practiced, then the central nervous system vibrates it, and we can listen and absorb the sound. The mantra is attuned to the Infinite and when the Infinite resounds in us we achieve excellence. As Yogi Bhajan says: “The science of reality is to find the sound and to resound in that sound. Then the soul shall excel and God shall dwell within you.” Anahat is that state in which the nervous system vibrates the mantra without conscious effort; we vibrate in harmony with the psyche of the universe, beyond anything we could create from our finite self or ego. Nothing compares to the gong’s ability to create in the human the Divine sound, which allows entry into the state of Anahat, and causes the sound to resound within. Only the gong can produce this combination of space vibrations. It is this productive sound that changes the pattern of the brain neurons for positive purposes. No effort or practice is required to participate. We can not avoid interlocking with the sound of the gong, because we are a byproduct of the wave and the strength of the wave that is called light and sound. It is the sound of Creativity itself. The gong takes us directly into the original sound current, into perpetual sound—out into space, into space, into space. This unlimited sound vibrates and creates light, creates life. The sound of the gong becomes the sound of the Universe. This Universe and the other Universes are powered by the resounding sound that comes within the state of Anahat. Within this sound and resound we relax, stress departs, healing, rejuvenation occurs as we journey into the sublime vibratory field of all that is within us, of all that we are, of all that we come from.  We resonate with pleasure, joy and bliss.

As the Master, Yogi Bhajan tells us:
“The gong is God.  So it is said; so it is.”

Regular listening to the gong will re-pattern your magnetic field, open you to the vastness of your own psyche, and release you from all that prevents you from living a life of complete and utter happiness.
