Silent Clearing

Meditation for Silent Clearing

Mantra - Sa-a, Ta-a, Na-a, Ma-a. Translation is Infinity, Life, Death, Rebirth.

Time - No time limitations are associated with this meditation.

Physical Position - Sit in any position that you like. Spine is straight and the eyes are gently closed and focused at the brow point.

Instruction - This is a silent meditation that involves feeling or visualizing energy movement along the path of the "Golden Cord." This is the energetic pathway and connection between the pituitary gland and the pineal gland in the head. You mentally bring the Sa (and subsequently the Ta, Na, and Ma) sound in through the top center of your head. You then project the extra "a" sound out your brow point. The "a" is pronounced like a short "u" as in "cut." In your imagination, feel or see the energy moving. Breath is relaxed. When the mind wanders, you can bring it back to the mantra and the movement of the energy.

At the end - Inhale deeply, briefly hold, then relax.

Comments - "Yogi Bhajan, the Master of Kundalini Yoga, taught me this meditation personally. At the time he said that it carried the power of the splitting of the atom. My experience is that it is a wonderful clearing meditation by itself. It is also wonderful to practice it after another meditation when you are in a relaxed and still state. It can help you to extend that lovely peaceful space."
