ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE
This is a powerful technique for cleansing and energizing living and working spaces. The vibrations created by the collective chanting of the mantra are a hundred times more intense than individual chanting. If it is an indoor space (e.g. a room or home shrine) that is to be energized, the participants can sit in a circle against the walls of the room, and direct the energy to the center.
INSTRUCTIONS
Duration: 21 minutes
Sit in a circle with your eyes closed. Take a few deep breaths. Now begin chanting the pranava mantra ‘Om’ together. Chant in a resonant tone, as loudly as possible, as deeply as possible, as lengthily as possible. As you chant, let the vibrations resonate through the space. Have the intention that the mantra should cleanse the space and fill it with positive vibrations. At the end of 21 minutes, close the meditation with the chant Om, shanti, shanti, shantihi (Om, peace, peace, peace.) Before opening your eyes, spend a few moments offering your gratitude to the cosmic energy.
