Meditation for the Fire Tattva

Kundalini Yoga Meditation Practice for 2010

 

The numerology of 2010, 2+0+1+0=3 implies this is a year relating to the 3rd Tattva, the fire element. This kriya is recommended by the Kundalini Research Institute for practice this year !

 

 

“It is a powerful, absolutely sacred, secret meditation. It will take you as far as you take it.”

- Yogi Bhajan


Tune in with the mantra Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo (3 times)

 

 


Posture: Sit straight in a meditative posture with neck lock.

Eye Focus: Eyes are closed except for small slit to let in some light (99% closed).

Mudra: Reverse Finger Lock

Interlace the fingers so that both the fingers and the palms point toward the chest. Keep the fingers as straight as you can; bring the fingers together so that the pads of the fingers are touching. Right index finger on top; left little finger on bottom, the thumb tips touch lightly.

 

The mudra is held with the elbows at natural shoulder level so that the fingers point toward the body, at the level of the throat, above the heart. The shoulders should feel relaxed as you keep the elbows, forearms and hands parallel to the ground.


Mantra: Inhale deeply and chant four times on the breath in a steady tone.

 

Sat naam sat naam sat naam sat naam sat naam sat naam whaa-hay guroo

 

Time: 11-31 minutes.

Tune out with the mantra Sat Nam (3 times)

 

Originally, the practice was given through number of cycles. That is, practice this for 108 breath cycles. You can practice longer if you gradually increase in increments of 27 breaths. You can also start with 27 breaths and perfect the mantra and concentration before progressing to the full 108 cycles. Comments: This kriya's powerful tapas will elevate, purify, and empower you and your victory in excellence.

 

This meditation can be found on the Kundalini Research Institute website, where you can also download an mp3 file of the mantra to accompany your practice.
