Time: Begin with 11 minutes and
slowly work up to 31 minutes. The best time to do this meditation is at sunset, or in the evening, although you can pick another
time to do it. See below for a link to time of sunset.
End: Inhale and hold …
the grey of the earth, the blue of the ethers, your innocence and
compassion ... stretch up and shake out your arms.
Comments:
Dharti Hai:
From the navel down, see a rich, solid grey; the dust of the earth. Saints feet have touched the dust of the earth.
Perhaps you will be blessed to touch the very dust they walked upon. You will be elevated to the consciousness to have
a human body, a human vessel.
Akash Hai: From the eyebrows up, visualize the most
beautiful sky blue, rich, royal and light; the unlimited ether, the vast heavens. Royal blue; totally open and free
in all directions. (The secret is to hold the image of the grey and the blue at the same time. Hold them both;
hold the polarity.)
Guru Ram Das Hai: Meditate at your heart center. See an absolutely
bright, white, radiant light, shining, penetrating all of the above and below. This is the movement of compassion, the
manifestation. This is your presence, the reality of the present.
“Isht” is to have the concrete
God, the realization.
“Sodhana” to purify or straighten you out … to have the realization of “you,”
the God. This meditation straightens out “you,” the God.
Become immersed
in the sound of the mantra. If you honestly practice this meditation, your intention manifests even if you forgot you
had it; even if later you don’t know you wanted it! This meditation gives you the frequency to know before the
act with your intuition ... as a sadhu. As a sadhu, it is to be practiced at sunset for 40 days to obtain the Siddhis.
It may be practiced for 40, 90, 120 days.
Yogi Bhajan said about this kriya:
“My dear ones, you want your prayers to be effective. You want your ultimate destiny to manifest. This kriya
can do it. I know there are thousands of kriyas that we do, but it just takes one done well and this is the one for
isht sodhana to manifest.”
Note: This meditation was done at both 2008 Solstices
where the theme was the earth element!
