Universal Mantra
Meditation
The Mission Universal Mantra is:
Haree Om Shrii Hung,
Om Nam Kevalam!
Sit comfortably,
with your back and neck straight, and your body in a relaxed
position.
Close your eyes
and again relax your body, release any tension or tense feelings.
Be completely relaxed.
Now imagine that
your consciousness (Self) is expanding outward. It fills the
whole room. Remember where each object is located in the room.
Then expand yourself to fill the whole house (hotel, etc).
Remember where each room is, and whatever you can remember about the
place.
Now expand
yourself to fill the whole city. Remember where each road is
(as much as you can). Then fill the state (province, county, etc), the whole country, continent, all continents, and the whole
earth. In each step try to visualize the shape of the vision,
the relevance of the part you are expanding from to other parts,
etc.
Now that you have
filled the whole earth, gently leave your body and visualize that
you are sitting on the top most part of the earth. The earth
is below you. Visualize "Peace on earth and Good Will to men."
Send good thoughts and visualize they penetrate each individual and
the earth. You are a channel for God's Will. Say in your
mind, "His Kingdom Come, His Will be done on earth as it is in
Heaven."
Imagine that now
you are leaving the earth, you are going toward outer space.
You pass the moon, the planets in our solar system, the stars, and
you go beyond our solar system. You pass our galaxy, then the
other galaxies.
You are going
toward the center of the universe. You pass the stars faster
and faster until you reach the center of the universe. You
slow down and most humbly enter into the center of the universe, a
brilliant misty blue Light, the most relaxing and Loving (Healing)
Energy ever encountered.
Most humbly enter
this brilliant blue Light, and sit in it, and let it enter your body
through your toes. As it enters your toes, your toes become so
relaxed that you feel you have no toes. It enters your feet,
the same, they become most relaxed, then your ankles, your calves,
your knees, your thighs.
This Light
continues to fill you, and it enters your first, second, third,
fourth, and fifth chakras. As it enters each of these chakras,
it purifies and opens them.
The Light
continues purifying and enters your sixth chakra. Now gaze at
the sixth chakra between your eyebrows. Now the blue Light is
the most brilliant white. Keep your back and neck straight.
Breathe in deeply and listen (repeat) the first part of your Mantra
(Haree Om Shrii Hung), realizing the stillness, the moment
between breathing in and breathing out (rhythm of your mantra!).
Breathe out the second part of your Mantra (Om Nam Kevalam),
recognizing the stillness between breathing out and breathing in
(rhythm of your mantra!).
Continue this
process until there is no thought left but the rhythm of your
Mantra, and your mind is still. "Be still and know that I am
God."
If anything
internal is disturbing your meditation, any thought, desire, etc.,
gently bring your mind back to the rhythm of your meditation, your
Mantra, the breath, the stillness between breathing and let go of
disturbances. Many things will try to prevent you to gain
control over your mind. Be sincere and diligent in your
meditation, but relaxed.
When done
meditating, reverse the process. Close your chakras by letting
the Purifying Light stay with you, within your Purified chakras.
Keep the Light and Love that entered you. God will remain with
you. Now you gently come out of the blue Light, with utmost
respect (facing the Light). Return from the center of the
universe, pass the stars, the galaxies, our galaxy, and return to
our solar system. Pass the planets, the moon, and come and sit
on the top of the earth. Remember, "Peace on earth and good
will to men."
Now, pledge that
you are an instrument for His Will. You are a channel to do
His Will to bring "His Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven." See
your peace that you received from the brilliant Light is on earth.
It penetrates every individual and the earth. Fill the earth
and slowly re-enter your body and withdraw from filling the earth,
all the continents, the continent you are in, the country you are
in, the state, province, city, house and room you are in, and come
back to your body.
In this process
we have expanded our consciousness to cover the universe, but we
return to our body. Although we have a universal approach, we
live and act where we are, in the present. We become a channel
for God who is the universe, but we act locally (think universally
but act locally).
Now gently open
your eyes, return to the external world, and know that those who
meditate on God are in the world but not of it. You have met
the energy of the Lord and are filled with it now. Let it flow
through you to others. Be a channel for His Will. Do not
let them take you to Maya (illusion of separation from God); you
take them to God (Oneness with God/Spirit/Atman)!
After you
recognized that Stillness then you can stay with that recognition
and realize it all through the day without needing formal Meditation.
If the rhythm somehow is lost, go back to the mantra until the rhythm
returns!
Haree Om Shrii Hung, Om Nam Kevalam!
