WAVE IN THE COSMIC OCEAN🔗

ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE

Whether you believe it or not, whether you accept it or not, you are a wave in the ocean that is the cosmos. If you internalize this concept, then your actions become a spontaneous part of the rising and falling waves, part of the cosmic leela, divine play. Then you don't feel you are separate, you are just playing the role that is meant for you. Naturally, your actions become pure and spontaneous, without the play of your emotions in them.

DURATION: 21 minutes

Step 1:

Close your eyes and sit in a relaxed way. Feel your whole being as a wave in the cosmic ocean. You always experience yourself as solid. You experience your boundary so strongly. Now, experience yourself as fluid, as a flowing energy. You are just a wave in a vast ocean. Meditate on this and allow this feeling to go deep inside you.

Step 2:

Now, become aware of the breath flowing in and out of your body. Start feeling your breathing as a rising of a wave. Your breathing is just a wave in the ocean of energy, the ocean of life. While breathing, feel as if the ocean is breathing in you. The ocean is entering into you and then going out again. With every breath coming in, feel a wave rising, and with every breath going out, feel a wave dying. This is the truth! With every breath, you are living and dying. But when the wave is rising, when it reaches the peak, and when it subsides and returns to the ocean – at all times, the wave is nothing but the ocean. At all times, you are nothing but the play of the universal consciousness! When you enter intensely into this understanding, it can create lasting peace and centeredness inside you.

AWARENESS IN WAKING AND DREAM

ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE

This technique is an experiential way to understand that a simple awareness of prana flow can be used to alter the incidents of your life. As of now, you are just a victim of life. You can't handle anything. You can't even stop a small sneeze. You can't stop anything, not only in the waking state, but even in the dream state. Things just happen to you, that's all. At the most, you can have the illusion that you are doing things. If you can be aware in the dream state, you will have true freedom and your consciousness will become more expanded. Above all, when you are able to change your dream, when you are able to handle your dream, you will have intense power and energy to handle the incidents of your life.

When you lie down to sleep, before falling asleep, just remember the area near the ajna chakra or the third eye, the center of the forehead. Do not concentrate. If you force yourself, if you start concentrating, your sleep will be disturbed and you will have a headache. Just be aware of that area in a relaxed way, the way you look at a flower, just casually. Slowly, you will see that you are relaxing, you are slowly dropping into the deep sleep state. Just be aware of this movement into deep sleep, that is enough. The first day, you may feel that you are not falling asleep at all and that your sleep is getting delayed by ten or fifteen minutes. Don’t bother about it. Just be aware of the prana movement in the ajna chakra. Gradually, you will be aware that you are dreaming. If you want to continue the dream, you can continue it. If you don’t feel like it, you can come out of it. But you will not have nightmares. There will be no intensity in the dream. As of now, your dreams can shake not only your mind, but even your body. If you have a nightmare and wake up suddenly, you will see that your heart is beating fast and your pulse rate is high. Your body will feel the impact of the dream. This won’t happen when you are aware that you are dreaming. This is the first effect of this meditation.

The next thing is, you will start having dreamless sleep. That is the deeper level. Once you start having dreamless sleep, you will also start having a dreamless day! Dreamless day means your energy will be conserved without day-dreaming. You will be living with reality rather than fantasy! When you fall in tune with reality, naturally your actions will be spontaneous, your decisions will be more effective. You start living in a conflict-free way.

This technique combines the awareness of prana flow in the dream state with the awareness of the flow of life in the waking state. By working simultaneously on the dream state and the waking state, this technique helps you go beyond both into pure witnessing consciousness.

The technique has two parts: one that you do when you fall asleep when you are lying in the bed, and the second one that you do whenever you can remember during the whole day. The first one will create more energy to do the second part and vice versa. They are complementary to each other.
