  • Shabd Kriya 4/1/1974 (The Aquarian Teacher, p. 111 Sit in any comfortable posture with the spine straight. Place the hands in the lap, palms up with the right hand over the left. The thumbs are together and point forward. Focus the eyes on the tip of the nose, the eyelids half-closed. Inhale in 4 equal parts, mentally vibrating the mantra SA-TA-NA-MA. Hold the breath, vibrating the mantra 4 times for a total of 16 beats. Exhale in 2 equal strokes projecting mentally Wahe Guru. Continue for 15 to 62 minutes. Comments: The best time to practice this kriya is every night before bed. If it is practiced regularly, sleep will be deep and relaxed and the nerves will regenerate. After a few months, the rhythm of your breath as you sleep will be subconsciously regulated in the same rhythm! 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 rhythm.

    Mystically the effect is understood in numerology. The number 11 is the number of infinity in the world of material and the conqueror of the physical realm. The number 22 is the infinite number of longing and mastery of the mental realm. The breath is regulated in 22 beats and gives the mind the power to stretch to the infinite. 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.

    Har Har Meditation to Stimulate the Lymph (from The Mind, by Yogi Bhajan and Gurucharan Singh Khalsa) Sit straight. Put both hands palms up in front of your torso. Elbows close to the sides. Chant steadily as you pull in the navel point: Har har har har har... The chant is continuous and regular. The pace is the same as the tape Tantric Har. As you chant each Har, trace outward circles with both hands, keeping the palms up. The circles are about 12 inches in diameter. As the arms come back along the sides, the elbows hit the sides of the torso definitely. Coordinate the sounding of the mantra, the pulling of the navel, and circling of the hands, until they are a single flow. Continue for 11 minutes. To end, inhale deeply, hold, and exhale. Repeat three times.

    ! Meditation to Develop Self-Reliance Sit straight in a cross-legged position. Extend the arms forward at shoulder level parallel to the floor, with elbows slightly bent. Palms are face down, with fingers spread, tough and tight like nails these are your five antennae. Eyes are closed. Move the arms rhythmically straight back and forward about 5 inches. Reach from the shoulders to affect your chest and spine. Chant the Prosperity mantra Har Har Har Har Gobinday by Niranjan Kaur (see mantra on the next page). Continue for 11 minutes. To end, inhale deep, straighten and tighten your fingers as much as you can so your hands automatically shake with the force of it. Cannon Fire Exhale. Repeat 2 more times. Relax. Har Har Har Har Gobinday (Guru Gaitri Mantra with Four Hars) HAR HAR HAR HAR GOBINDAY, HAR HAR HAR HAR MUKANDAY, HAR HAR HAR HAR UDAARAY, HAR HAR HAR HAR APAARAY, HAR HAR HAR HAR HAREEANG, HAR HAR HAR HAR KAREEANG, HAR HAR HAR HAR NIRNAAMAY, HAR HAR HAR HAR AKAAMAY Har - The infinite creative aspect of God Gobinday - Sustainer! Mukanday - Liberator! Udaaray - Enlightener Apaaray - Infinite Hariang - Destroyer Kariang - Creator Nirnaamay - Nameless Akaamay - Desireless This mantra fixes the mind to prosperity and power. It contains the eight facets of Self. Har is the original force of Creativity. The four repetitions of Har give power to all aspects and provide the power to break down the barriers of the past. It converts fear into the determination to use and expand the reserve energy of the Navel Point. It invokes guidance and sustenance: all powers come to serve your true purpose. This mantra brings prosperity, happiness, and saves us from calamities. It is a sound current which brings a shield and brings good luck and removes discomfort and disease. It is the key to the doorway of self elevation.!This mantra is composed of 8 words about God, with 4 Hars added to it. Chant it from the navel and listen to it.

  • Each word of the mantra opens up a chakra and feeds the soul, giving the feeling of deathlessness.1 It has the

    power of a tidal wave to take away every block to your prosperity.2 It brings wealth even if you do not deserve it.3 Regular practice of this exercise will totally change the psychic flow of your body. You will be different. Your body will receive energy from the universal energy, which is called Prakirti. And as a Purusha (pure consciousness) and Purkha (eternal being) you will just blossom. The body is given to you as a gift for you to emit and remit the light of your soul. And when it emits and remits the soul, the universe brings to you what you need. Otherwise you are a hustler I want this. Im working for this. You have only one thing your breath. You will only know who you are if you know the length and strength of your breath. When your mind does not stop and you go crazy, just hold the breath. In one second you forget why you are doing it. Because when you breathe in and hold in, the mind comes into the balance centre. When you breathe out and hold it out, your mind becomes intuitive. Life is very simple. Pave the way for your own knowledge. 1(Yogi(Bhajan.(A(Year(with(the(Master.(Oct(30(2000(#NM0367,(p.(87((2(Yogi(Bhajan.(The(Science(of(Keeping(Up.(Spring(Summer(2000(3((Yogi(Bhajan.(Meditations(for(the(New(Millenium.(April(11(2001(#LA(0966(
