The 2nd Body: The Negative Mind
The Negative Mind is the second of the Ten Bodies. It is protective and has nothing to do with negativity. It is the part of our intellect that helps create awareness of our surroundings and assess potential dangers. It gives us the ability to be discerning and not get carried away by unrealistic optimism. Anything we might do to set boundaries that will protect our well-being and mental health is balancing for the Negative Mind. The Negative Mind is associated with a ‘Longing to Belong’—the longing to be part of something and to expand our identity. When the Negative Mind is balanced, we listen to our intuition and make decisions that keep us safe.

Chii-a Kriya: Surround Yourself with Protection
When you are losing hope and feel that nothing is working for you, this meditation is in order. Chii-a means six in Gurmukhi. This meditation is an experience of the six “unchangeable sounds:” Har, Hare, Haree, Wa, He, Guru. They are associated with the six directions: east, west, north, south, up, and down. When you meditate on these six in this way, the Universe covers you. You chant and God listens with love.
Meditation to Know the Field
This meditation develops a taste for the experience of expanded awareness. It creates sensitivity and the ability to extend the aura out to link with the energy of a whole team or group. You can develop the capacity to know what is happening to everyone at the same time, sense where they are, and what they are about to do. This sensing includes those opposing you, too. You will develop the ability to sense the energy flow in any situation.
