Chidakasha | Mahashivratri Meditation Series with Gurudev

Preparing for Meditation

• 🧘‍♀️ Begin by sitting comfortably with a direct spine, relaxed body, and closed eyes.
• 💡 Bring your awareness to one foot of space in front of you, perceiving your mind as a cloud of energy.
• 🌬️ Take a deep breath in and out, becoming aware of your body and its left and right sides.

Guiding the Mind and Body

• ☁️ As the body relaxes, allow the mind, initially in front, to move towards the back of the body.
• 🎶 Inhale deeply and chant Omkar, focusing on the sound and its vibration.
• 🧠 Spread your mind like a cloud behind your body, extending your awareness 3 feet, then 5 feet, and finally 10 feet behind you.

Deep Relaxation and Expansion

• 🕊️ Enter a state of repose, where there is nothing to know and nothing to do, just pure relaxation.
• 🙏 Chant "Om Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu" and "Om Shanti Shanti Shanti" to foster peace and well-being.
• 🌌 Allow your mind to spread in all directions, encompassing the entire universe in your awareness.

Concluding the Practice

• 🧘‍♀️ Gradually become aware of your body and surroundings.
• ✨ Gently open your eyes without any rush, taking your time to return to the present moment.
