SHRI MATAJI: ON MEDITATION

How To Do Mediation On Sahaja Yoga

In the morning you get up, have your bath, sit down, take some tea; don’talk. Don’t talk in the morning sit down, meditate because at that time the Divine rays come in the Sun comes afterwards. That’s how the birds get up.

That’s how the flowers get up. They’re all awakened by that, and if you are sensitive you will feel that by getting up in the morning you will look at least ten years younger.

Really, it’s such a good thing to get up in the morning and then, automatically you sleep early. This is for getting up, for sleeping I need not tell because that you’ll manage yourself. Then, in the morning time you should just meditate.

In meditation try to stop your thoughts. Watch My photograph with open eyes and see that you stop your thoughts. You should stop your thoughts, then you go into meditation.
The simple thing to stop your thoughts is the Lord’s Prayer, because that’s the Agnya state.

So in the morning you remember Lord’s Prayer or Ganesha’s mantra. It’s just the
same. Or you even say “I forgive”, So you can start with Ganesha’s mantra, say Lord’s Prayer and then say “I forgive”. It works out. Then you are in thoughtless awareness. Now you meditate.

So first you become thoughtlessly aware, then the growth of spirituality starts after thoughtless awareness, not before. One should know that. On rational plane you cannot grow in Sahaja Yoga. So first thing is to establish your thoughtless awareness; still you might feel little chakra blockages here and there; forget it.
Just forget about it.

Now start your surrendering. Now if a chakra is catching, you should say “Mother, I
surrender this to You”. Instead of doing any of these things you can just say that. But, that surrendering should not be rationalised.

If you’re still rationalising and worrying why should I say this, it will never work out. If there’s pure Love and purity in your heart that’s the best thing; that to do so is to surrender. Leave all the worries to Your Mother. Everything to Your Mother. But surrendering is one point that is very difficult in ego-oriented societies. Even talking about that, I feel a little bit worried.

But if there’s any thoughts coming in to you or any chakra catching, just surrender. And you’ll see that the chakras are cleared up. In the morning time you do not go on putting this way, that way, nothing; don’t move your hands too much in the morning. You’ll find most of your chakras will clear out in the meditation.

Now if there are thoughts coming in first you have to say the first mantra, of course, and then watch inside. Also, you must say the mantra of Ganesha, will help some people, and then you should watch inside and see for yourself which is the biggest hurdle. First the thought – now for the thought you have to say the mantra of Nirvichara.

Om Twameva Sakshat Shri Nirvichara Sakshat
Shri Adi Shakti Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi Namoh Namah

Now come to the hurdle of our ego. You see the thought has stopped now no doubt, but there is still a pressure on the head. So if it is ego, you have to say

Om Twameva Sakshat Shri Mahat Ahamkara Sakshat
Shri Adi Shakti Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi
Namoh Namah

Mahat means the great, Ahamkara means the ego. You say it thrice. Now, even now, if you find that ego is still there, then you have to raise your left side to push it back to the right side. With your hand, one hand towards the photograph.

Push the left side higher and the right side lower so the ego and the superego get the balance. Do it seven times. Try to see how you are feeling inside, you see.

So once you have given yourself a balance, then, the best thing is to pay attention to your emotions, to Manas Shakti. Watch them. You can enlighten your emotions, by thinking of Your Mother, Right? Just enlighten them.

This solves all the problems. Whatever are the problems in the Mana. So once you are connected to those emotions and you start looking at them in your meditation you will see these emotions are rising within you

Now what you do is to watch your breathing. See now, try to reduce your breathing; reduce it, in the sense that you have breathed out, wait for a while, then breathe in. For a long time. Then you breathe out. So during one minute your breathing will be less than normal, Alright? Try that, keep the attention on the emotions, you see? So that the connection is established.

Better? See, the Kundalini rises. Now, when you are breathing, you find that there is a space in-between which you just leave vacant. Breathe in. Keep it there. Now breathe out and keep breathing out. Now breathe in.

Now start breathing in such a way, that you really reduce your breathing.

Your attention should be on your heart or it could be your emotion, it’s better to keep the breath inside for a while. Hold it. Bring it out. Hold out.

Then keep it outside for a while. Then again. Then you’ll find that for a while you will not breathe. Good. See, you’re settled now. The Laya takes place between your Prana and your Mana. Both the Shaktis become one

Now raise your Kundalini – up on top and tie It up. Again, raise your Kundalini – up on the head and tie It up. Again, raise your Kundalini and tie It up thrice.

Now at the Sahasrara you should say the mantra of Sahasrara – thrice.

Om Twameva Sakshat Shri Kalki Sakshat
Shri Sahasrara Swamini Moksha Pradayini Mataji
Shri Nirmala Devi Namoh Namah

Now its open now, if you see, now you can open again your Sahasrara like this. And see that you are stationed there – Once this has been done – then you go into
meditation.

Reduce your breathing, will be better. You reduce your breathing as if stopping it, but no exertion about it.
