1. Shambhavi Meditation – Shanmukhi Mudra
Create tremendous energy in your third eye and awaken your intuition. Enter into deeper energies and higher consciousness. Duration: 21 minutes
Sit straight. Close your ears with your thumbs, eyes with your forefingers. Place your middle fingers on the nose and the ring fingers partially covering the nostrils. Keep your little fingers on your lips. This is the shanmukhi mudra.
Inhale and exhale as slowly and as deeply as possible. Keep your mouth closed tightly. Visualize that both your eyeballs have become stones and don't allow them to move.
Intensify your awareness. Do not create stress – just try to penetrate with deep awareness, that’s all. Visualize intensely as if you are penetrating your third eye.
(After 21 minutes)
Relax. Open your eyes slowly.
2. Withdraw your Senses
Experience your inner space
Duration: 5 minutes a day OR 1-2 minutes five times a day
You can do this meditation five times per day for a maximum of one or two minutes each.
Do not wear tight clothes, let nothing touch your body.
Close your eyes and mouth tightly. Now close your ears with your hands. Stop all the things coming in through the eyes, ears, mouth and touch. Do not involve in any process related to the eyes, ears or mouth. But allow the breathing to happen. Just sit for a few moments. Suddenly you will see there is a space where there are no thoughts.
