Guest guest Posted October 19, 1999 Report Share Posted October 19, 1999 Namaste Brothers and Sisters, Breath in rhythm or the even distribution of Prana creates a state of Quiet and Peace. By using a Sakti mantra like So-Ham, or I am 'He', one can reflect the mind inwards. For those who aren't familiar it works like this; So… , on the in breath and Ham… on the out breath, in rhythm. Pronounced in this case as So…….Hum, pronounce the M as in Aum By maintaining this and trying to be conscious of it, meditating on it, one creates Peace. Which in turn creates Ahimsa, which is ultimately none other than the Self. It is somewhat similar to 'Who am I?", Koham except it is 'I am He', Soham, and one is using it as a 'natural', mantra. We are 'breathed' 21,600 times a day, and by concentrating on this SoHam mantra it is possible to experience Divinity in this lifetime. I try and concentrate on the space between Ham and the next So, for there is no thought there but Bliss. The Divinity within, Sakti, Praneaswara ! Even in 'K' practice the Sahasrara is not the end but it is one step away from the 'Heart Centre'. Albeit a big step! Here also Sadhana is necessary. As with normal meditation it is wise to keep an appointed time, and if you are late 'He', will remind you! This method goes beyond intellectual understanding of 'non-duality'. For knowing what a King is, doesn't make one a King! SoHam takes us beyond the individual mind beyond words and intellect. (One gets a better view of the crud on the pond from below the surface, and one can observe.) For it is the ego/mind that intellectualises after all. So Sadhana or Spiritual Practice is advisable for Realising Moksha or Liberation, otherwise we only have intellectual realisation. The whole world has the same breath,( Prana), and if we all breathed in our Rhythm, and didn't disturb other's breath, there would be Peace and Ahimsa. Things done in Silence generate Love, and whatever you pray for will happen, and one will know things that one didn't learn, as long as you see all as One! Step Within! Love and Sai Ram, Tony. ===== http://members.xoom.com/aoclery/ Keep on truckin-breathe So----Ham! "God is formless.
