You you you you We will begin with the transmission just making sure that you're comfortable and if there are any distractions in the background Just making sure they are somehow removed so that you can prepare for this transmission So When it comes to meditational practice There are so so many methods and so many advices as to how best to meditate or what is useful to do to achieve sort of an optimal mindfulness or a state of awareness and There is a lot of talk about various techniques and ways of practice and They're all of course very interesting but in the end Meditation isn't really about techniques or isn't really about different ways of doing things even though it can get very confusing because of all these methods and sometimes contradictory in their explanation Some say to do this and some say to do that so it can be quite complicated But in the end really meditation is about one thing meditation is about certain level of commitment that you allow yourself to embrace or to connect to commitment that comes from freedom commitment that says As an intention says to the world This is important This space here that I'm creating the space of receptivity is not only important.

It's actually essential Because it is the natural humanistic state This means that to come back to your natural state of equilibrium equilibrium what humanity's sort of reality is all about Means that we need to come back to this sort of understanding that we have to give ourselves to that space which makes us human that brings us back into equilibrium and So all the techniques and all the wonderful books that are out there are interesting but in the end meditational practice is not only about commitment,

But it's about sort of initiate initiate initiation process I was going to say initiate initiate initiatory process and that's a tongue twister,

But an initiation process where Really what is happening is similar to music There is a certain repetition of a vibration that Speaks to the heart or speaks to the depth of one's being and we recognize just like we would recognize Music we get initiated into the understanding that this vibration of music or the vibration of meditation Is real we have a sort of tangible connection to this Space that I call equilibrium or that which makes you more human the space where you are still and able to come back to the understanding that awareness is Really much more than just being aware of techniques awareness is much more to do with Practice so once we understand this and of course,

It's difficult to you know understand this As a concept that once we understand this through our meditational practice then You you will realize that one of the things that Is part of meditation is that We need to be aware of our posture You know when we sit or if you meditate lying down or in a different position If when we sit it's important that there is no strain or there is no pain Even if if that strain or pain may not be real it's important that that pain that is perhaps in the physical bodies looked at by changing your posture So many people so many people it's unbelievable really Have a posture that not only contradicts the space of equilibrium meaning that you are really Limiting the flow of energy rather than opening up to the flow of energy not only Does it look and feel?

Like Life energy is draining out of you but also it doesn't allow for the subtle flow of of meditational energy that requires That your body is not perfect Of course,

But but that it's open enough to be receptive to the energy transmission that is happening within yourself If the body isn't open makes it much more of a struggle so this is one of the things that you will realize by being comfortable by Opening up the body so that it's receptive to the flow of energy meditational flow of energy then It's it's easier the practice is more enjoyable the practice of meditation and not only feels good,

But also it's something that you want to do because It's like that with all aspects of life if something is interesting and nice and feels good You want to do it,

But if it doesn't Or if it's a struggle or painful or whatever there is some sort of block somewhere And it's not something that you want to repeat very often or if you repeat it It requires a lot of willpower and sort of pushing or sense of guilt because you haven't done whatever you should do You know,

That's not what meditations the meditational space is about In the end.

It's about feeling good because this Whatever anyone else says about meditation.

This is the core Aspect of what it means to come back to a meditational space You're coming back to this part of yourself that maybe's been forgotten because of the busyness or the stress of everyday practical Mundane aspects that need your attention,

But in the end really it's all about coming back to happiness So,

You know,

It's not that you're chasing happiness through your meditation but it's about coming back to a space where happiness where you're receptive enough to embrace happiness from an aware and mindful state of being and if that is not part of the meditation because your posture reveals that you are tired and you're resistant and you're Reactive to your thoughts or your feelings or other things around your noise or people or situations Then of course,

It's going to be more difficult to sit and enjoy the meditational practice.

So this Is something that with practice becomes obvious to?

For everyone.

This is why I don't say it because you know I don't need to say it because you'll find out but I'm saying it anyway because sometimes you know this helps to Let go of certain things.

I don't have like I sat in meditation,

You know the first six months I sat in meditation.

My body was in agony physical pain was like the focus of my meditation You can go through that experience,

But you know in the end why you know if it's possible through transmission quantumly beyond those blocks and to just open up to the space where Meditation the meditational experience brings you back to its natural state of joy Meditation is about choice.

So you come back to this natural state of joy,

Maybe not immediately,

But you're ready You're receptive.

You're sort of open In the way where if you're in pain It's much more difficult.

Of course.

I continued meditation not just because Of the pain but I continued the meditation because I knew that sort of caught glimpses of joy or freedom within those within that practice for the first six months There was pain but there was also reminders that the pain was just temporary.

So In the end this will be the case with everything that you do,

But we we can quantumly beyond those Those Those obstacles or those Constrictions that are within the body because of course physical pain can be transformed in many ways Through and we know this in many ways not just through your willpower or your desire or your want or your dream But by actually changing the brain waves in your in the cranium in the brain You know,

Everything is changeable and we can change The brain waves as we know as you know now Meditating your brain waves,

Of course change an MRI and all sorts of neuroscientists who are researching this know this This is a fact.

It's not just something that we're hoping for you change the way that your brain waves function as you sit and meditate and And for most people this is difficult to sit and meditate because I know Many people tell me I sit and I meditate well,

I'm thinking about a lot of things I'm meditating and thinking and you know,

It's a sort of meditation for me I don't know how to do it in any different way.

And this is why I Always sort of speak about in the beginning.

It's important to connect to your body Because it's your body that influences your brain obviously because your brain is part of your body so the brain waves in your body when when they begin to change because you are sort of aware or Connected to your body in a way where you can change the physiology of your body by in meditation and this is done in two ways by slowing down your heart rate and Making sure that the breath Isn't a shallow type of breathing but that it brings you back to this Receptive still point within where awareness expands and is not caught by the stress or anxiety or by Increased cortisol in the body or increased blood flow in the body Because of stress.

No,

It's the opposite.

You're you're relaxing so when when you understand this and this is a basic but profound way to change the physiology of your body and the brain waves in In the brain so that you can come back to true a true state of stillness when we know this we know that breathing is the core the core of all meditation,

Of course if you've done yoga or any other sorts of Techniques of Healing you know yoga tai chi and some of the martial arts,

You know breathing techniques are at the core of The practice so people often ask me well There are so many breathing techniques,

You know,

You can do it this way do it that way What is what is the right way to breathe?

It's funny to ask really what's the right way to breathe?

Well,

Just breathe.

That's basically the answer I got from The Zen master,

You know,

I asked him which is the best way to breathe and just said breathe Well,

Yeah,

Okay.

I know that well,

Of course I didn't because I was breathing in a way which didn't allow for the brain waves To relax I was breathing in in a mundane sort of way where you're focused on stress and situations around you and that Distract the brain in such a way where you lose touch with the physiology of your body So if you're connected to your body meaning that you're aware and relaxing the body,

Of course the technique of breathing changes Now you breathe in a different way But we want a quantum leap so that you know,

We're not really just slowly exploring different ways of breathing we want to somehow come back to breathing in such a way where the heart rate changes and The brain waves change because this is what happens when you come back to a deeper state of consciousness the brain waves in your brain somehow change so that you are receptive to a higher level of consciousness than is Normally experienced when you are just awake in in the mundaneness of everyday living when you awaken this profound consciousness within then Breathing has to change.

It's just changes naturally,

But you can help to change consciousness by focusing on receptivity so at least your body and your breath and the physiology of your body and the brain waves in your brain are Receptive to this deep level of consciousness.

So the way to to do this.

It's very simple really it's all about breathing out a little bit more than you breathe in this Just changes everything Most people don't persist with this way of breathing so that you know They try it two or three times and then their mind wanders off they're thinking about their shopping list or about what happened yesterday or what will happen tomorrow and All of a sudden you you lose focus so you don't really breathe in this way so hence why In the beginning I said takes a bit of work a commitment You know the work means a commitment to yourself really to to what is important.

It's important to Relax the body and to heal the body and to allow a natural Flow of positivity and happiness to be the state which you are spending most of your time Experiencing this is important.

So when you know,

This is important already,

You know,

It's not really a commitment You know,

It's a nice thing to do.

So you're it's but it takes a bit of work because very easy to go back into what what is known as just Daydreaming,

You know Meditational daydreaming since the usual experience for most people and they sit in meditation Where you're just they dreaming here we're practicing sort of Discipline on some level you could call it a discipline where we're breathing in a way that may in the beginning seem a little bit Strange because the body of course doesn't want to change,

You know,

We know habits and addictions It's not easy to change them without Adding a little bit more extra energy to the situation so that the changes happen and then you recognize Just internally that these changes are useful And so then you don't need to put so much energy into changing the situation.

So The breath that I would suggest Which is specific to helping to change the brainwaves so that The brainwaves come back into a rhythm that moves to a deeper and more relaxed state Is what I call a four six breath and this is the easy way of breathing I know I've spoken about different ways of breathing but this is very easy way of breathing so doesn't require so much energy Once you get into doing this then it's very easy.

So basically what you're doing is you're inhaling Deep breath so relaxing the diaphragm and inhaling so that the breath moves all the way down into the abdomen To the count of four a deep breath not just a shallow breath And then As you reach the count of four you're exhaling To the count of six and it's very important that you're really exhaling not just breathing out So you start from the abdomen so you're breathing out through the abdomen the diaphragm is relaxed,

But you're breathing out Completely so that you can really oxygenate your body So in the beginning perhaps you may feel a little bit dizzy or a little bit strange because your oxygen There is more oxygen coming into your body,

But you are also letting go of Toxins because we very often hold the breath in our body This is why it's important to breathe out more than breathing in because we hold a lot of Air in our body.

We don't breathe out completely Completely,

So we don't we just breathe out enough to breathe in basically and this is the Reactive state of breathing,

You know,

It's a survival mode of breathing here.

We are breathing to Increase the level of joy and happiness and positivity.

So we're breathing for health and well-being So you can practice this just now you can actually listen to the satsang and continue practicing Deep breath Deep breath So wonderful you may notice as you do this for a little while usually about two minutes You breathe in and breathe out.

You may wish to continue doing this You may notice that this way of breathing helps to shift your attention from those distractive or background thoughts that happen You May notice that you become you you come to a space where you're more focused focused and your body Just feels better.

Of course,

It feels better because you're breathing in more oxygen and you're letting go of toxins So as you do this now,

This is the next level And it may be difficult so you don't need to push yourself really just if it's natural if it's difficult you can actually When you practice this alone you you can play some gentle sort of relaxing music Not not the sort of music that distracts you but you know Just the sounds the natural sounds of an ocean or a rainforest just to help calm down the mind and to help calm down the body in such a way where the muscles relax,

But of course the secret in meditational practice which is usually only reserved for initiation meaning that when you've reached a certain stage of understanding of this meditation and Somehow the secret is revealed but here the secret is revealed to you just because I understand that time We don't have the same sort of time as before so hopefully you'll use this in the correct way is repeating the mantra as you breathe in So the music that you're creating the symphony of consciousness that is being created in the background is the vibration of your mantra So you're breathing in Of course you can't breathe in and repeat the mantra aloud Yeah,

You're repeating this silently within you or you're sensing the vibration of the mantra Within you so as you breathe in it's almost like you're breathing in a vibration of the mantra So imagine say the mantra of who?

Being repeated by the universe and within you in every cell within your body This vibration is everywhere As you breathe in you're just opening up to the vibration of the mantra in a very profound way As you breathe out you're allowing for the mantra to just be channeled through your body and connect to the sound Vibration resonance that is all around you so wonderful Very powerful way to come back to Deeper connection To consciousness so you're uninterrupted by the mundane thoughts deep breath Even if complex just remember four six And the mantra is being repeated by the universe And within you you are part of the universe Deep breath You may notice that your muscles relax The vibration of the mantra helps you to expand into the space of greater awareness Beyond the self beyond the sort of focus The little focus that happens when we are Concerned with the self and the ego and the mind thinking about whatever it needs to think about or Connecting to whatever it needs to connect to now Makes sense sort of expansion like you perhaps experience when you are moving to a profound state of meditation deep breath four six As you breathe Connecting to the resonance the vibration of sound Vibration of sound that allows for stillness It's almost as if the mind comes back to its natural rhythm The equilibrium of being connected to the positive healing force that is joy That is happiness that is bliss Deep breath you may wish to continue for a few moments Just letting go deep breath Thank you You You You
