This is a japa style meditation,
So if you have a mala you would like to use,
Make sure you have it on hand before you get comfortable.
We begin by coming to a comfortable seated position,
Signifying the beginning of our meditation practice,
Taking a moment to settle in and make any small movements the body desires.
Slowly begin to find stillness.
Once there,
Taking some time to scan the body and release any areas of tension so as to find more relaxation and ease in your posture.
Areas like the muscles of the face and the shoulders,
The arms,
Hands and feet.
Use your breath to inhale into each area of tension and with your exhale completely relax them,
Releasing all discomfort.
Begin to move the focus inward,
To the sensation of your breath moving through the body.
Feel your breath as it flows into the nose and deep down into the lungs.
Control its cadence and bring balance to the movement of air and the energy it carries.
Bring your focus to the area between the eyebrows or the area of the heart,
Whichever comes more naturally.
Aiming today for one complete round of 108 repetitions of your chosen or given mantra.
If you do not have a chosen or given mantra then please use the mantra OM,
The sound of creation.
Repeating once on the inhale and once on the exhale.
Breathing with your own natural breath rhythm.
I will bring us out of the practice together in a little while and close out the meditation with you.
Exhale completely.
On the inhale begin.
Pose thegroups.
You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You Let the repetition fade from your mind Maintain your posture Maintain your inward focus that focus now becoming the observation of your breath You The yogis tell us that creation is a complex reverberation of energy this energy oscillating in different ways is why we are able to experience so much variation within creation an Intelligent amalgamation of sound is the true nature of existence To close the practice would bring the hands together at the heart and Then raise them up bringing the backs of the thumbs to the area of the third eye Om namah Shivaya Namaste You
