MEDITATION:

A perfect mantra for the Earth energy

is the Isht Sodhana Mantra " Dhartee Hai, Akasha Hai, Guru Ram Das

Hai " . It connects the earth and the vastness of the ether and projects

it from the heart. It is done with visualization. It makes you present,

calls on your highest spirit, keeps you humble and effective on your new

ventures, and attracts opportunities for prosperity. Chant this mantra

for 31 minutes or 11 minutes.

Posture: Sit in easy pose, hands

in gian mudra, eyes open 1/10th or closed

Visualization:

As you chant 'Dhartee Hai' visualize a gray earthy

tone from the navel expanding on both sides down to the whole Earth and

hold

As you chant 'Akasha Hai' visualize from the

eye brows and brow point up a vast blue sky expanding into the ethers

and hold

Ad you chant 'Guru Ram Das Hai' visualize

from the heart center a circular huge bright white light expanding out

in all directions encompassing everything in this light
