akal for the dead

[Guest guest]

Hi

 

Can someone out there help me recall the correct way to do the akal meditation

for the dead? Someone close to us has died and I'm fuzzy on the details.

 

Blessings and many thanks,

Sat Nam, Dev Dharam KaurI guess everybody's at the Solstice celebrations and not at their computers today!At the time of death, you can sit in easy pose and chant Akal five times - it will guide the soul to pass out of this worldly realm.

You can also gather and recite the Kirtan Sohila, the last Bani in the Nit Nem. It helps the transition of the soul from the physical body.http://www.mrsikhnet.com/index.php/2006/07/13/kirtan-sohila-sung-by-snatam-kaur/

Sat Nam,

 

When I read the question for Akal, I went to this page:

and found this: AKAL (Undying) - The Last Gift

Learn how to do it:

and from the above referenced page:

AKAL (Undying)

 

The Last Gift

 

Chant akal - this meditation or chant may be done by anyone as a gift to the

soul that has left its body. The chanting of the akal farewell raises the

vibration and light to aid in the transition. This chant akal call helps send

the soul home to creator.

 

Sit in Easy pose (cross-legged with spine, neck, and head in alignment, slight

chin tuck)

 

Eyes closed, focus at 3rd Eye (up and out, 2 ½ finger widths above the bridge of

the nose)

 

Gyan Mudra (Arms outstretched, straight line shoulder to finger tips, index

fingernail in first joint of thumb)

 

Set intent: For passing of " state the name " and any other souls that are ready

to go into the light.

 

Location: your choice but some highly energy sensitive people prefer to do it

outside because it draws many souls to the chant who are ready to leave.

 

Inhale deeply

 

Chant akal " AKAL " (with long all, Sounds like A Caaaaaaaaaaal)

 

Inhale and begin again.

 

Duration 11 minutes optimum

 

Done daily for 17 days.

 

First 3 days optimum to chant akal twice a day within 2 ½ hours before sun rises

and sets. Any time or duration is an acceptable blessing. If you want to commit

to 17 days and you miss a day, simply begin the count again.

 

Blessings,
