In this posture, with your mouth closed, produce your body, as loudly and lengthily as possible. the sound ‘Mmmm...’ from inside 3- Cakra awareness: You may continue to sit in vajrāsana or sit crossed legged if you wish. Keep your fingers in cin mudra position. Now, bring your awareness to each cakra one after the other, from mūlādhāra cakra (root center) to sahasrāra cakra (crown center). Feel each cakra completely as if your whole being has become that energy center. 4- Silent Meditation: Be unclutched In this step, carry the understanding with you that your thoughts are unconnected, irrational and unclutched. Don’t try to create thoughts, don’t try to maintain thoughts, don’t try to destroy thoughts or react to them. Just sit and watch them. Understand, by your very nature, you are pure being and bliss. 5- Guru Pūja Now, connect, relax and rest into the universal energy.
