Hari
OM
Monday is AUM-day; in search of meditation.
Section four of the exploration of Gurudev's
'Meditation & Life' we will begin next week. This 'Leap' day, why not take
the leap into full OM meditation?! Have shared this chanting with you
before on Sounds-day, but it is absolutely on the mark at this point in this
deeper study we have been making … and practicing - we HAVE, haven't we???
Settle
yourselves in aasana, go through the breath-work and mental check-in with the body to ensure
minimal interruption from your own self. If it helps with the focus, use
earphones to listen to this.
Start
by chanting out loud along with the monks.. But gradually let them take over
and internalise the chanting. Keep it going. Let nothing come in the way of OM.
At the end of the recording there an extended period of silence. If you have
focused well, you are likely not to notice that and hear only the internal
chant you have set up within. See if you can then drop even that thought focus
and enter the tuuriya - the place of silent awareness.
