ANIMATED MEDITATION INSTRUCTION PAGE


It is not important to try to do these instructions perfectly; hopefully our actions and surrender will take us to a place that has some elements of perfection. Try these techniques and then play with them, be creative let your own truths come forward. In the beginning when these techniques begin to arise in me, my goal was to meditate and do sadhana (spiritual practice) till I came to the experience of perfect love, perfect peace and loss of desires.

My understanding is that freedom from the environment may not be samadhi  or nirvana but is still an attainment that most people do not have control over or possess. When we arise in the morning and take care of our natural needs, then do meditation and sadhana before anything else [reading, radio, t.v., eating, exercising, sex, talking, hatha yoga, listening to music, etc] and attain a state of perfect love, peace, and inspiration, then you could say that we have just created a high state of being from our inner being.

In the beginning it would sometimes take me up several hours to attain this state as the years went by it became much less.

For some there are elements of self-mastery that are necessary to acquire, may we learn to sail our own ship.

Sound

    Make a sound with your lips closed

      Make a sound and feel the vibrations, from where does it come from and from what point in our body does it start?

      Some would say it begins in the throat others the chest or the head.

      Start by making a sound in the center of your being, inhale and hold your breath, close your lips while making the sound, who makes this decision and what dynamic exist between this being and the action taken?

      Again and again make this sound, try to start and visualize and feel the vibrations everywhere [toes, forehead, heart, stomach, hands, etc].

      Play with it, be creative.


      Make a sound in your head, try to push and visualize it to your entire body.

      Next choose a different part of your body, make a sound and push and visualize it in all directions equally, filling the entire body. Experiment with your breath, sometimes inhaling and holding the breath briefly before talking an action aids one in being able to focus on the task at hand.

      Now start the sound in all of the parts of your body. Sound and voice give us the ability to cultivate our desire to be devoted to the truth.

      Some of the fastest and deepest results in our meditations come from our ability to put more love, sweetness and feelings of devotion into our sounds and voice.

      Now do the same with the lips open, let your sound move towards your voice and chanting.

      Be creative, play with it.

      At this time if you choose to, we can experiment with repeating sacred words and or mantras, use them creatively, say them in all parts of your body (see Glossary for mantras and interpretation). Play with it, be creative.
