Practice this meditation individually or with a partner to end an argument. It is not to be done in a group setting.
There are always times in a relationship where couples get in heated disagreements and arguments. This is when we lose the ability to listen, be silent, and act as a single unit of energy. This meditation is a technique that alters the relationship between individual and cosmic consciousness. This meditation could be used in counseling sessions. Instead of ending a session in a finite individual vibration which has the effect of dividing people and creating boundaries, counselors could end the session with this exercise to create an equilibrium with the infinite self. The mental frame from which you see yourself and the world will be totally shifted within and without by this exercise.
For Individuals
Posture: Sit in easy pose with the spine straight.
Mudra: Make fists of both hands. Put both fists with the back of palms towards you, 6 to 8 inches in front of the brow point. Extend and press the thumb tips together until they become white. There is no need to press very hard, just firmly. It is important for the last joint of the thumb to relax and bend as much as possible.
Eyes: After you see the tip of the thumbs turn white, close the eyes and see the white tips through closed eyes. Once you are in position, relax the body.
It is essential to keep the eyelids closed. If they are open, you will get faint and dizzy in a few repetitions of the chant. If your eyes are closed, you are protected, and the effects on consciousness will happen in 8, 9, 10,11, or so repetitions.
Breath and Mantra: Inhale deeply and exhale the breath quickly and powerfully as you chant Wahe Guru. The sound should be at as high a velocity or frequency as possible. The pitch will be high and vibrate through the nose and Brow Point as you chant Guru. The mantra should be paced such that Wahe is about 1 second and Guru is about 7 seconds. Take a deep breath and repeat the mantra rhythmically.
Continue for 5 – 11 repetitions, about 2 minutes.
For Couples
When you have argued and talked until you can talk and argue no longer, do this meditation. Ending an argument this way will maintain peace in the subconscious so you do not carry the dispute into unrelated areas and times of your relationship.
Posture: Sit 4 to 5 feet across from your partner in Easy Pose.
Mudra: Make fists of both hands. Put both fists with the back of palms towards you, 6 to 8 inches in front of the brow point. Extend and press the thumb tips together until they become white.

Breath & Mantra: With deep and powerful breaths, alternate saying the mantra. Listen to each other’s sound. If the sound is correct, it will penetrate the skull and seem to be inside you. This will break the spell of intolerance and confusion and disperse any latent anger.
