Meditation � HEART SHIELD
(
Taught by Yogi Bhajan, November 10, 1980.  Located in Transitions to a Heart-Centered World, by Gururattan Kaur Khalsa, Ph.D., p. 125)
 

Posture:       Sit in Easy Pose with a straight spine. 

Focus:          Close your eyes and concentrate on the left hand as a shield to the heart.

Breath:         To begin, inhale deeply and exhale completely.  Repeat twice more.  Then inhale and begin chanting the mantra.  If you are around other people, you may just whisper the mantra.         

Mantra:          SAT NARAYAN          True Sustainer

WAHE GURU             Indescribable Wisdom

HARI NARAYAN        Creative Sustenance

SAT NAM                   True Identity

Mudra:          Place right hand in active Gyan Mudra (index finger curled under the thumb, the other fingers straight and joined), wrist resting on the right knee.  The left arm is bent and relaxed, left hand about 6 inches from Heart Center with palm facing the body, thumb and fingers straight, tense and joined.

Time:             Continue for 3, 5 or 7 minutes.   

Comments:  When you feel very tired and nothing is coming out, this is a tool.  But, don�t overdo it!  This is very sacred and very secret.  Overdrinking nectar can sometimes give a bad belly.  So, just do it 3 to 7 minutes in absolute calmness.

As you concentrate on the shield of the hand, you will feel a heat of powerful energy going through the hand to the Heart Center.  (Concentrating on the head is wrong.)
