MEDITATION

MEDITATION
Inner soul to mind appearance
In forms of thought , image, concept, sound or sense
You build into it the quality to reject
Only then meditation is perfect

Raja yoga leads to focus on lord or object
Mind keeping emotions in balance perfect
With life force directed up and down the back of spine
Up to a point half an inch above where meet the eyebrows thine.

Observe calmness of your mind
Devoid of meaningless thoughts and worries of any kind
The bric a brac of subconscious mind
Mind filled with velvety darkness you find.

Pastel colours in your head you sense
Glorious pink, yellow, white, blue, indigo, green and purple
Take their turn to play in combination
Experience your consciousness , your pure awareness sense.

Mantra yoga or chanting for some duration
Phrases or syllables with rapt attention
Mind and emotions transcend
Consciousness revealed and experienced.

Chant music words like AUM
Or Budhist Mani Padme Hum
Or Asatoma Sat Gam yo
Any one your heart loves so.

Chant loud to make body calm
In an atmosphere serene and calm
From loudness turn into whispers
Minds emotional balance settlers.

Mantra chanting helps in two ways
Dissolves mind into super consciousness
Ventilate the subconscious mind
Store house of thoughts of different kind.

Stored feelings , memories of neglected
Or those not well attended
An opportunity to release or heal
Mantra chanting will reveal.

Energy centers , five in the spine
Two more in your head, that remain
Door ways to realms of higher consciousness
Experience Laya Yoga’s usefulness.

Locate the heart centre in the back of spine
Enter your realm of sky blue light fine
Discover in you feelings of love
Overcome selfishness and self centeredness.

Self discipline lack of which leads to stresses worst
Introspection leads to mastering yourself best
Devotion with love and humility in spirit
Three techniques of enriching success in you merit.
