MEDITATION FOR STRESS AND SUDDEN SHOCK

  • INSTRUCTIONS

  • POSTURE


    Sit in an Easy Pose, with a light jalandhar bandh (neck lock).

    Look at the tip of the nose, the Lotus Point.

    Relax the arms down with the elbows bent. Draw the forearms in toward each other until the hands meet in front of the body about 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the navel. Place the palms up, and rest the right hand in the palm of the left hand. Place the thumb tips together, and pull the thumbs toward the body.

    Deeply inhale and completely exhale as you chant the mantra.

  • MOVEMENT & MANTRA


    Sat Nam Sat Nam Sat Nam Sat Nam Sat Nam Sat Nam Wahe Guru

    Chant the mantra 3 times. The entire mantra must be chanted on only one breath. Use the tip of the tongue to pronounce each word exactly, and chant in a monotone. The rhythm must also be exact.

    Begin with 11 minutes and slowly build up to 31 minutes.

  • BENEFITS


    This meditation balances the left hemisphere of the brain with the base of the right hemisphere. This enables the brain to maintain its equilibrium under stress or the weight of a sudden shock. It also keeps the nerves from being shattered under those circumstances.
