Guest guest Posted May 19, 2000 Report Share Posted May 19, 2000 Sat Nam, This letter is in response to the question about the alternative to sleeping medication and also to the lady who asked for help attaining emotional balance after ending a longterm, long distance relationship. I suggest for both situations a SA TA NA MA meditation. The Kirtan Kriya is one of the best for emotional balance. It is in every one of my Kundalini yoga and meditation manuals. The most complete explanation is in Transitions to a Heart Centered World. It is a bit intricate to repeat here. See www.yogatech.com if you would like to purchase any of the manuals which have over 100 yoga sets and meditations in each one--enough for a life time!! Shabd Kriya which is in my manual Relax and Renew (page 118) is a bit easier to explain so here goes. Sit in Easy pose with a straight spine, hands in the lap, right on top of left, thumbs touching and facing forward. Eyes focus on the tip of the nose, slightly open. Inhale in 4 equal parts, mentally vibrating SA TA NA MA Then, holding the breath, vibrate the mantra 4 more times (16 counts). Exhale in 2 equal strokes, mentally projecting WHA HE GURU Continue for 15-62 minutes. Do before going to bed. Sleep will be deep and the nerves will regenerate. After a few months, the rhythm of the breath will be subconsciously regulated and eventually you will hear the mantra internally. This meditation gives the mind the power to stretch to infinity. It promotes relaxation, radiance and patience. Do it for at least 40 days before going to bed and let us know what you experience.
