meditation recommendation

September 26, 2009

I must apologize if my frequent posting for advice is a bother. I sure hope it

isn't. I have tried to commit to 40 days of a meditation. I chose one where

you apply the root lock and repeat God and me, me and God are one with every

inhale and exhale. Hands are in a mudra, but I don't know the name of it.

Anyway, yesterday was to be my 4th day. I have been doing the meditation at

night before bed. By evening, I was sick with a headache and in bed. I

completely forgot about the meditating. Now, I must start over with the 40

days. So, I was thinking that the meditation I chose wasn't a good one for that

purpose anyway, I can't apply the root lock during my cycle, so that would knock

me out of the 40 days. I'm also thinking that I need to start simple.

At night, I have about 30min.-1hr. where I am either rocking my baby sitting in

easy pose on the bed and her in my arms, or I'm laying beside her as she falls

asleep. I have to do this every night whether or not I'm sick, tired, whatever.

This would be the perfect time to meditate. Is there a meditation that I could

do while rocking my baby or laying down with her? I'm working on acceptance and

being in the moment instead of constantly trying to push passed it, so something

fitting for that would be great.

Thanks so much.

Hi Kelli, Questions are good! It means you're interested.

There are probably plenty of meditations that might fit your parameters (while

nursing?), but here are a couple of ideas that come to mind:

1)This is simple: long deep breathing w/ a mantra such as sa ta na ma vibrated

silently at the brow on the inhale and again on the exhale. This is a YB quote

about sa ta na ma, " You want to make a wish? Be noble and chant Sat Nam.

Meditate on Sat Nam. It will carry you from anywhere to anywhere. " Start with a

comfortable breathing speed and over the 40 days you will deepen and slow it,

increasing your capacity and concentration.

2) Already have mentioned Shabad kriya twice. It does take more breath control,

but you can do the rhythm more quickly until you develop more capacity. YB said

in the KY Meditation Manual For Intermediate Students, " The best time to

practice this kriya is every night before bed. If it is practised regularly,

sleep will be deep and relaxed and the nerves will regenerate....You will think

better, work better, share better, love better, and fight better. This rhythmic

mantra will eventually progress so that even in daily activities you will

automatically hear the mantra and take on the breath pattern....There cannot be

enough praise of this meditation and its growth promoting effect on the

personality. It gives radiance and the radiance gives patience which is the

first condition of real Love. In Love you give without attention to all the

mistakes of another as the sun gives light and warmth to all people. The

incorporation of this practical universality in the personality comes with the

disciplined practice of shabd kriya. "

Sat Nam Kelli

You are there! We try too hard. We try so much. If we only knew we are

there. We talk so much about opening chakras. The chakras are constantly

flowing. They are there, open, we just need to become aware. We try so much to

meditate, to see the light, when meditation is there, the light is there. To

sit and rock your baby or to lie down on bed by her side...what a blessing!

Think about it. What a meditation! Or better yet, don´t think about it. You

are already doing a meditation that follows your Soul´s intention. Just don´t

think about what you should be doing. While rocking your daughter (remember her

Soul chose you) just tell yourself, or better yet, tell her that She is Your

Meditation. Live in that precious moment, that blessed present moment, You and

Her. Remember, in her reality, She is You, all the way until she is around 18

months old. So you should feel, in your reality, You are She.

Isn´t what the real meaning of the mantra God and Me, Me and God are One is?

Wahe Guru!!!

But if you want some recommendations here are some: You may do Yogic Breathing,

Long Deep Breathing for a few minutes then Naadi Cleansing for a few, then just

chant from your Navel and Heart Centers, any mantra. What to chant for 30 to 60

minutes? Wahe Guru. Choose your Mantra, or better yet, allow Guru to choose.

Even better, allow your daughter to choose it for both of You as One.

My Friend, You are there. Blessed be You and your Daughter. There are millions

in this planet that wish they had your blessing.

Yogi Bhajan said: " You are a woman because you are a balance between heaven and

earth and you are the only balance. " " That you can give birth to a saint, you

can be a saint yourself, you can serve a saint, you can marry a saint, you can

da da da da da-those are qualifications, possibilities, chances. The why you

are a woman is because you are the only balance. Creative balance between

heaven and earth. Have you ever thought that way? "

A beautifull blessing prayer he taught was:

" Bless me, bless me, bless me, Oh Great One. In that One I may find myself, my

environments, my totality and my reality. The moon and the sun, the hemisphere,

the atmosphere, all within me that of all the universes be Thy grace guide me to

my fulfillment, gratefulness and happiness. "

Sat Nam

Blessings
