Meditation for Mental Clarity and Purity
Siri Singh Sahib Yogi Bhajan
Mudra: Sit in a comfortable cross-legged sitting position, or sit in a chair with the weight of both feet equally distributed on the ground. Rest the right hand in the left with both hands facing up. The position is reversed if you are a woman. Point both thumbs straight away from the body. Hold this position at the center of the chest, at the bottom of the rib cage. The arms rest against the sides of the body with the elbows bent.
Eyes: Almost completely closed
Mantra: In the above position, begin chanting the mantra Gobind Gobind Haree Haree
Gobind Gobind Haree Haree
Gobind Gobind Haree Haree
Continue the chant without any break, allowing the breath to regulate itself. ("Go" is pronounced like "go." "Bind" rhymes with "grinned." "Har-ee" is pronounced "Hud-dy" with the accent on the "ee" which is held a bit longer. Also, the "r" is a rolled "r”"as in the Spanish language.) Chant the mantra in a monotone, in a four-beat rhythm. As you say "Go", pucker your lips, as if to kiss someone, and relax them on the syllable "Bind."
Time: No restrictions were placed on the length of time this can be practiced.
Comments: This meditation has the capacity to make your mind clear as a crystal. It can totally eliminate mental impurity, but it must be done correctly. In the coming times, many people will become nervous wrecks. They will not even be in a position to receive instruction in meditation. All you will be able to do for them is to put your hands over their heads and start chanting. This meditation will help to develop the healing powers within you, provided you also perfect the mantra Sa Ta Na Ma Ra Ma Da Sa Sa Se So Hung.
