Meditation and memory

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam Bambino!

 

Generally speaking, regular practice of any meditation will aid the

memory. Be sure to use the drishti (eye lock) associated with

whichever meditation you are using, as one of the purposes of

drishtis is to aid in improving concentration and focus. If no

drishti is specified, focus the eyes at the brow point, just between

and above the eyebrows.

 

Here is a meditation from "The Mind" called Cross-heart Kirtan Kriya

which could be helpful:

 

Cross the forearms below the wrists and hold them in front of the

chest. Arms out slighty, palms up, and a little toward the chest.

Look down the tips of the nose (eyes 9/10 closed). Chant:

 

Saa taa naa maa

 

With each sound, change mudras, so:

 

Saa=touching thumb to index

taa=touching thumb to middle

naa=touching thumb to ring

maa=touching thumb to little

 

Continue 11-31 minutes. To finish, inhale, hold, roll the eyes up

and be completely still. Exhale, relax.

 

Many blessings,

Sadhant
