A Meditation to address the potent, powerful OM Meditation Technique.
Again, posture is vital for any meditation that you practice, specifically with regard to your spine. Make sure it is erect. Step, sit up tall. Tuck your chin back slightly like a soldier at attention to align the back of the head with the spine. For the flow of energy or Kundalini to take place.
Om Mantra Meditation is focused on opening the third eye or Ajna Chakra, the sixth Chakra of the Kundalini seven chakra system. The seat of wisdom and seat of intuition, to be able to see the unseen and know the unknown. The Chakra is known for bestowing psychic powers.
Now we will use Shambhavi Mudra to help us with this meditation along with using the OM mantra. OM Mantra is the beej mantra or the seed sound of the Ajna Chakra as well.
- The first Mudra used for the hands is Gyan Mudra where we bring our thumb tips and index finger together, with the other three fingers pointing forward and rest our wrists gently on our knees.
- A second Mudra used is Shambhavi Mudra, an eye position, which is as follows: Turn your eyes upwards, and look through an imaginary point at the center of your forehead.
That is the kshetram (physical point correlating to the Ajna chakra). Holding Shambhavi Mudra with Gyan also activates the Ajna chakra and awaken the Third Eye.
Now, once you take the Mudras and meditation posture, inhale deeply and chant the sound OMmmmm.
Next visualize the OM sound emanating from the center of your forehead, flowing into your entire system, then extending into the universe around you.
So again, sit up tall, chin slightly back, come into Gyan Mudra rest your hands on your knees. Turn your eyes upward into Shambhavi Mudra Look through the center of your forehead. Once you take Shambhavi Mudra, close your eyes while holding that eye position. If you feel too much strain when holding Shambhavi mudra release it, continue with the meditation and retake that mudra when ready. Now practice three rounds.
