Good communication expresses the real you. It projects the whole self. Clear communication is fearless and does not need anything from the person to whom you are speaking. When you speak out of neediness you distort the real message of your heart.
This meditation lets you know where your heart is and what is in it.
Meditation with Mantra
Posture: Sit in an Easy Pose, with a light jalandhar bandh.
Eyes: The eyes are closed. Concentrate at the Brow Point.
Mudra: Bend the arms and raise the hands next to the shoulders. The wrists are straight and the palms face forward. Begin to alternately press the thumb tip on the index finger tip and then on the ring finger tip. Press with about 5 pounds of pressure.
Mantra: As you rhythmically alternate the fingers, chant these sounds: “Saa” – pressing the index finger, and “Re” (pronounced “Ray”) – pressing the ring finger. The sound of the chant is a monotone. Feel the pulse of the sound and the energy changing in the body.
Continue in a steady pace for 11 – 31 minutes. To end, inhale and hold as long as it is comfortable. Exhale through the mouth and keep the breath out with the mouth open. Inhale through the nose and hold the breath in for 30 seconds. Exhale through the mouth and keep it open for 20 seconds. Inhale deeply and hold the breath for 30 seconds and relax as you exhale through the mouth.
