Exercise on Jyoti Meditation.

 

 

1. Let us close the eyes and chant Omkar (OM) 3 times

 

To make the mind become tranquil and steady.

 

2. Keeping the eyes closed, let us put the breath in rhythm

 

To make it normal and calmer.

 

In our mind (mentally) repeat " SOHUM'. (1-2 mins.)

 

As we inhale mentally repeat " SO "

 

As we exhale mentally repeat " HUM " . (1-2 mins.)

 

3. Let us mentally bathe the senses in the light

 

Look at the Jyoti, imagine that the flame is ablaze in the

 

Lotus of our heart. Having the beautiful feeling of LOVE.

 

Take the flame to the different parts of the body.

 

" Let not my eyes see evil "

 

" Let not my ears hear evil or bad "

 

" Let my tongue speak only sweet words "

 

" Let my hands do only right things "

 

" Let my legs be always moving towards places for good actions

 

and good work. "

 

Now, bring the flame up the legs slowly, strengthening; up through

 

the stomach, cleansing; through to the eyes, taking away all the

 

darkness and out of the body through the head, purify us.

 

4. Open the eyes and look at the Jyoti. (2-3 mins.)

 

5. Now imagine the figure, of the form of your choice (Baba), for worshipping in

the Jyoti. (2-3mins.)

 

6. Effortlessly repeat OM SAI RAM or your personal mantra. (2-3 mins.)

 

It should be natural and without tension. Relax.

 

7. Slowly close the eyes and meditate for a few minutes. (15-20 mins.)

 

8. Keep the eyes closed, stop repeating the mantra, or having the flame and form

consciously. (2-3 mins.)

 

9. End meditation. Softly and slowly.
