Vajra Recitation DiaryWednesday, 4 September 2013The Vajra Recitation (Om Ah Hung Breathing)

I have recently been introduced into the Vajra Recitation method by H.E. Garchen Rinpoche during a short personal consultationsession where he gave me a quick teaching on the Vajra Recitation and suggested I should practice it frequently together with otherpractices he prescribed.

Essentially, the Vajra Recitation is a method that brings the winds (energy) into the central channel which will result in a blissfulsensation when successfully executed after a while of practice.

I will attempt to summarize the practice of the Vajra Recitation into a single format while referring to three sources I have found onlinefor Vajra Recitations method description which are all given by H.E. Garchen Rinpoche himself during various seminars and shortteachings. There are other sources regarding Vajra Recitation and a lot of these sources originates from H.E. Garchen Rincpoche'steachings. The attempt to unify all the sources is to allow beginners to have a consistent and uniform piece of practice that thepractitioner can utilize.

Sources:

1. https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=404959232886854&p=02. https://www.facebook.com/garcheninstitute/posts/4689991198161983. http://www.scribd.com/doc/97588236/Garchen-Rinpoche-Vajra-Recitation

Executing the Vajra Recitation:

1. Get into a comfortable position with a straight spine while binding the lower wind upwards and pressing the upper winddownwards (Union of the Winds) called the Vase Breathing by gently squeezing the anus.

2. Settling the mind at the navel and visualizing a flame the size of a lentil seed and also think of the three channels. (The mindshould be pinned onto the flame all the time with 70% of the focus on the fire and 30% of the focus on the wind.)

3. Breath in while reciting OM mentally. The wind you breathed in flows into the left and right channel, descending to the junctionpoint where the three channels meet just below the navel and enters the middle channel while slightly fanning the flame (the flamebecomes brighter and hotter).

4. Once the wind has entered the middle channel (do not need to direct the wind consciously into the channels) hold the breathwhile mentally reciting AH and observing the nature of the mind while keeping your mind on the flame. Hold the breath within acomfortable time frame.

5. Breath out while mentally reciting HUNG. The wind reverses by traversing the left and right channel to both nostrils to bebreathed out.

Notes:

1. As H.E. Garchen Rinpoche described in the above sources, one can visualize or do not visualize the channels and that is up toone's choice. The exact locations of the channels are immaterial and cannot be found in the physical body thus one does notneed to be totally exact of their locations. One just needs a rough idea to be able to execute this practice.

2. Heat arising from the above practice should be blissful. Heat that arises immediately is usually unstable and unreliable.

That's all for the practice on the Vajra Recitation (Om Ah Hung Breathing) as summarized from the three sources above.

If there are any mistakes in the above practice I have consolidated from multiple sources, do email me (usnisasitatara@gmail.com).Posted by UsnisaSitaTara at 21:29Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest
