Then she said, “Dear teacher, I have done nothing at all to prepare for the next life. Now I’m going to do so. Please, out of your great compassion, take care of me and give me meditation instruction.”
Milarepa was delighted and replied, “If you practice the Dharma sincerely, in my tradition, you don’t need to change your name. One awakens with a full head of hair. You don’t have to cut your hair or make other changes.”
He sang this song with four examples and five points about meditation and mind practice:
Right hand listening at right ear, thumb on Jupiter, palm up. Left palm against navel. Breath through mouth, tongue up against clenched teeth, long and deep. It makes a hissing sound. Eyes are closed, looking down at the chin from the inside. This breathing balances the nervous system. 31min.
Inhale, squeeze, exhale.
Good for anxiety. Gives perception and dimension of the wind.
Sit in easy pose with a straight spine. Pull the chin in and push the chest out.
Relax the arms down with the elbows bent nd the forearms raised up from the sides of the body until they slant away from each side of the body at about a 30′ degree angle. Point the palms foreward and touch the Saturn or middle fingertip of each hand to its respective thumb tip. Leave the remaining fingers pointing up.
Sit with the legs crossed or in a chair with the weight of both feet equally distributed on the floor.
Deeply inhale and completely exhale as the mantra is chanted.
The eyes are l/10th open.
Chant the following mantra three times as the breath is completely exhaled.
SAT NAAM HAREEE NAAM HAREE NAAM HAREE HAREE NAAM SAT NAAM SAT NAAM HAREE
After the designated time is completed remain in the same body position and chant
SA-A-A-A-A-A-AT NAAM Continue for a period of time. Then begin chanting
GURU GURU WAHE GURU, GURU RAM DAS GURU three times per breath. Chant in a monotone very forcefully, stressing the first syllable of each word.
Chant the first mantra for 31 minutes. Then chant the next mantras for as long as desired.
Sat Nam, Hari Nam, Hari Nam, Haree…
Comments:
Pulling the chin in and pushing the chest out creates an equalibrium and prevents freaking out while meditating. The meditation “eliminates negativity, brings posi- tivity, arouses the spirit to blossom,” and when long SAT NAAM is done with it, it makes a combination that “has nothing parallel and equal to it.” “HAREE” is the creative energy of God. “SAT NAAM” explodes it. It is of hegher potency and multiplies the power of “HAREE” millions of times. If the third mantra is properly chanted, it will bring up the kundalini. If a person can learn and chant all 3 mantras, “how dumb and unfortunate and condemned from the heavens he may be, he will recuperate 10 times.”
