Treating yourself to this daily activation,
Irrespective of your state of physical,
Mental,
Emotional,
And spiritual health,
Will yield immense blessings and protection for you and those around you.
I'd like to begin with a prayer honoring Mother Earth and our animal brothers and sisters.
So whether you're sitting or standing,
Take a moment now and connect the soles of your feet to Mother Earth.
Relax your toes and let that relaxation move upward through your whole body.
Relax your legs.
Soften your knees and let go of any tension in your buttocks and abdomen.
Allow your shoulders to release downward as your heart moves gently upward.
Soften your fingers,
Jaw,
And your forehead.
Imagine the crown of your head is gently stretching upward into the sky.
Bring your hands to the center of your chest in prayer fashion and bow to the four directions.
The north,
Where the buffalo spirit roams.
The east,
Where the eagle spirit soars.
To the south,
Home of the mouse spirit.
And to the west,
Protected by bear spirit.
Bow to Mother Earth below and Father Sky above,
Simultaneously honoring all life on land and in the seas and air.
Bow to God within you.
As Swami Muktananda recommended to everyone based on his direct experiences of God,
See God in each other.
Honor yourself.
Worship yourself.
Meditate on yourself.
God dwells within you as you.
Now gently sit either in a chair with both feet flat on the ground or cross-legged on the floor,
Keeping your spine erect but not tense.
Imagine God now touches the lower tip of your spine with a cosmic ball of lightning.
This sacred touch ignites a bright,
Robust red flame blazing in your base chakra.
A bold and creative flame of love containing the gift of distinguishing true spirit,
True love.
Feel the energy,
The vibration of this bold red flame and silently repeat LUM,
LUM,
LUM three times.
Feel the vibrations of LUM,
LUM,
LUM within your base chakra.
You may even feel the spin of the chakra,
This vortex of energy.
I still remember right now to this very moment the first time I felt all my chakras spinning,
One by one nearly 40 years ago.
Even if you don't feel the spin,
Imagine it.
Your chakras are spinning.
Experiencing that spin comes with awareness,
Intention,
Grace and a body attuned to higher vibrations.
If you experience the spin,
Wait till it subsides before consciously lifting the energies on a brilliant orange flame into your second chakra below the navel.
Its orange powers are balance,
Harmony and walking the middle path.
Its gift is seeing oneness where duality appears.
Silently repeat LUM,
LUM,
LUM three times.
Feel these vibrations of LUM,
LUM,
LUM within your second chakra.
Imagine or feel the spin of this chakra,
This vortex of energy.
Feel these vibrations begin to rise on a bright,
Cheery,
Sunflower yellow flame into your third chakra,
About a hand width above your navel.
Feel this cheerfulness spread throughout your solar plexus like radiant sunlight.
Absorb its gift of faith as you silently repeat RUM,
RUM,
RUM three times.
Feel these happy,
Joyful,
Blissful RUM,
RUM,
RUM vibrations within your solar plexus.
With practice,
You can instantly generate an inner smile on command,
A radiant happiness that permeates every pore of your being simply by focusing on the inner smile in your solar plexus.
This too becomes as simple and even more useful than raising an arm or walking on command.
Feel these vibrations begin to rise on a sparkling emerald green stream of light into your heart chakra.
Silently repeat YUM,
YUM,
YUM three times.
Feel the healing vibrations of YUM,
YUM,
YUM bursting within your heart chakra.
Know that your heart,
Every human heart,
Is a flame of love burning to go home to God.
You may even see or feel this flame or the spin of your heart chakra,
This vortex of love energy.
If so,
Enjoy the experience until it subsides.
Then,
Feel these vibrations begin to rise on a stream of blue light like the deep blue sea into your throat chakra.
With its power of adaptability,
This deep blue brings together the different languages of the world.
The five senses,
The five races,
Come together as the five points in the star of humanity.
Silently repeat HUM,
HUM,
HUM three times,
Feeling the HUM,
HUM,
HUM vibrations within your throat chakra.
Know that humming on its own several times throughout the day for several minutes will uplift however you are feeling.
Let your breathing become easier and deeper.
Feel like every cell of your body is humming and breathing from the soles of your feet to the crown of your head.
Whether you're feeling or imagining the spin of the vortex of energy that is your throat chakra,
Experience this too until it subsides.
Then,
Feel these vibrations begin to rise on an indigo purplish blue stream of light,
The light of working miracles into your sixth chakra,
The third eye in your forehead.
Its deep rich color is powerful in a quiet way,
Just as miracles seem to come from out of the blue and transform all who witness their wonder.
Silently repeat KASUM,
KASUM,
KASUM three times.
Feel these KASUM,
KASUM,
KASUM vibrations deep within your forehead.
Now lift the energies even higher on a violet stream of light into the crown of your head.
Bearing the gift of prophecy,
This violet light is mysterious,
Quiet,
Yet alive,
A blend of heaven and earth.
Silently repeat BUM,
BUM,
BUM three times.
Imagine or feel the vibrations of BUM,
BUM,
BUM vibrate within the inner temple of your crown chakra as this powerful vortex of energy spins and spins.
Lift these vibrations BUM,
BUM,
BUM on a powerful ray of pink light to a point about a hand's length above your crown.
Bearing the gift of knowledge,
This pink ray is the power of the bold creative red in its higher form,
Bringing love,
Warmth,
And generosity to the heart.
One learns for every action,
There is a reaction.
Love brings love.
Immerse yourself in these pink vibrations of love,
Immersed in these pink vibrations of love.
Feel these love vibrations begin to rise on a sparkling yellow gold beam of light into a space about an arm's length above your crown.
Imagine this shimmering yellow gold light opens as a full lotus blossom sitting atop a tree of life within your body,
A tree of life embodying the wisdom of all time.
Don't be surprised if instead of a lotus,
Your own face glowing as a radiant sun one day appears.
You are eternal,
Eternal love,
Eternal peace,
Eternal bliss.
Before gliding into whatever you do next,
Gently focus your awareness at the soles of your feet.
Allow some long slow inhales and exhales to fill your body and come fully present in your body.
Paraphrasing Buddha,
One who keeps their awareness in the soles of their feet will cure a thousand illnesses.
That is perfect.
This is perfect.
From the perfect springs the perfect.
If the perfect is taken from the perfect,
Only the perfect remains.
Oh,
Peace,
Peace,
Peace.
And with infinite peace,
Infinite love,
And infinite bliss,
I welcome you with all my heart.
