Transcript

You you mantra meditation Wherever you are right now make your body comfortable Feel the sensation of your breath coming in and out connect to your physical body From the top of your head all the way down to the soles of your feet Take a moment to direct your breath to each body part and deeply relax Take your time and settle in breath by breath As your body relaxes Bring your awareness from the outside in As if you're taking your attention from the room where you are to the surface of your skin From the surface of your skin inward And see if you can find the very deepest part of you the very innermost part of your energy field Breath by breath keep relaxing your attention into this innermost place And now into that innermost place Begin repeating Ram silently At first just get used to doing it don't worry about how you're doing it Because in that innermost place just start repeating Ram Ram Start off doing it very gently almost like you're whispering it But you're not doing it in your head you're not doing it with your mouth It's like you're doing the mantra from that innermost place in that innermost place Internally silently you're creating that vibration again and again And you can determine the rhythm Maybe it's going really fast maybe it's going very slowly Play around with it and see what feels the most resonant for you And the syllable this mantra Ram It's a name it's a name of that which really cannot be named But within that simple pulsation is all power all love all grace Everything that you consider that infinite source energy to be All of that is contained within every pulsation of the mantra And right now you're just repeating that pulsation in that innermost part of you The very center of your energy field Everything else relaxes Now the secret of this practice is to not only give the mantra not only produce the mantra not only repeat the mantra But to also receive it at the same time So there's part of you that is producing the vibration of Ram in that innermost place But there's also a part of you that is receiving it It's like there's a voice of the mantra and there's also a listening to the mantra happening at that deepest part of you And then you see how deep can you repeat the mantra how deeply can you receive the mantra You can play with the volume of the mantra so it can be much softer or it can be much louder You can make the mantra thunder inside of your heart You're in there you can tell what is going to be the most resonant for you But remember there's part of you that's producing the mantra and there's part of you that is receiving it As you go into this meditation deeper and deeper this giving and receiving becomes more and more profound It's natural to wander off or space out if you do you just lovingly come back to the mantra Back to the giving of the mantra back to the receiving of the mantra And it's also natural at some point that the mantra bears fruit in other words This giving and receiving takes you into a deep state of absorption At that point you can let the mantra go and just enjoy the absorption Then if something pulls you out then you have the mantra to go back to For now just keep going deeper and deeper into this giving and receiving of Ram As you go along the mantra might want to change in its tone It might want to become softer it might want to become louder Stay with it it's your mantra it's your inner being it's your meditation You You You You You You See how much you can surrender into this vibration Into the giving of the mantra into the receiving of the mantra See how much you can surrender and dissolve You From this innermost part of you You'll find that the vibration of the mantra may want to expand let it expand Eventually the vibration can fill you from the soles of your feet to the top of your head and beyond As many times as you find yourself doing something else With so much love bring yourself back to Ram back to that name of the unnameable back to that deep vibration You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You For the last minute or so Let the mantra go Stop repeating the mantra and just rest in the vibration Rest in the space that you've created Just breathe and enjoy the energy that you've cultivated in this meditation Now you can start to deepen your breath once again and let your body move Holding on to the state that you've created in this meditation When you're ready, Open your eyes You
