KIRTAN KRIYA

Instructions

Practicing this chant brings a total mental balance to the individual psyche. As you vibrate on each fingertip, you alternate your electrical polarities. The index and ring fmgers are electrically negative, relative to the other fingers. This causes a balance in the electro-magnetic projection of the aura.
If during the silent part of the meditation your mind wanders uncontrollably, go back to a whisper, to a loud voice, to a whisper and back into silence. Do this as often as you need to.
Practicing this meditation is both a science and an art. It is an art in the way it molds consciousness and in the refinement of sensation and insight it produces. It is a science in the tested certainty of the results each technique produces. Meditations have coded actions to their reactions in the psyche. But because it is effective and exact it can also lead to problems if not done properly.


Some people may experience headaches from practicing Kirtan Kriya. The most common reason for this is improper circulation of prana in the solar centers. To avoid this problem or correct it if it has already occurred, you must meditate on the primal sounds in the “L” form. This means that when you meditate you feel there is a constant inflow of cosmic energy into your solar center, or tenth gate As the energy enters the top chakra, you place Sa, Ta, Na, or Ma there. As you chant “Sa,” fo example, the “S” starts at the top of your head and the “A” ends through the brow point as it is projected to infinity. This energy flow follows the energy pathway called the golden cord — the connection between the pineal and pituitary glands.
Chanting “SA-TA-NA-MA” is the primal or nuclear form of “Sat Nam.” It has the energy of the atom in it since we are breaking the atom (or bij) of the sound, “Sat Nam”.
You may use this chant in any position as long as you adhere to the following requirements:
1) Keep the spine straight
2) Focus at the brow point.
3) Use the “L” form of meditation.
4) Vibrate the Panj Shabad in all three languages.
5) Use yogic common sense without fanaticism.

Benefits

The Siri Singh Sahib said at the Winter Solstice of 1972 that a person who wears pure white and meditates on this sound current for 2,5 hours a day for one year, will know the unknowable and see the unseeable. Through this constant practice, the mind awakens to the infinite capacity of the soul for sacrifice, service, and creation.
