Shakti Dharana Meditation
A Supportive Meditation for Healers
This technique is taken from Tantra Shastra (science of liberation). It is a beautiful technique to relate with the Guru.
It is ideal to practice this meditation at night just before you go to sleep. This can also be done in the morning but it must be followed by at least 15 minutes of rest, as you would otherwise be in a state of stupor or drunkenness. This meditation leads to your merging with the energy of Existence. It is a prayer that can transform you. When you are transformed, the whole of Existence is transformed.
The importance of Shakti Dharana meditation is that it takes you to the entrance of the fourth state of turiya (Fig. 7), where you are in a state of full awareness but without thoughts.
Nithya Spiritual Healing service should not be done on a day when you have not done Shakti Dharana meditation the previous night.
MEDITATION INSTRUCTIONS
Stand on your knees and balance yourself well. Please don't sit on your haunches. You have to maintain a standing vajrasana (refer picture on next page) posture. Close your eyes and raise both hands upwards with palms facing skywards. Tilt your head slightly upwards.
In this position, feel Existence flow through you. Visualize that a light-beam of Existence is flowing through you. You
energy to dissipate into
mother earth. You may
visualize my feet when
in this posture.
Now, regain your original
posture and repeat this
cycle at least seven times.
This meditation improves energy circulation in the body tremendously. All troubles related to the backbone will simply vanish by doing this meditation as the energy goes straight to the muladhara chakra which is at the base of the spine.
If you wish, you may do Shakti Dharana meditation more than seven times. If you do it less than seven times, you will feel restless and unable to sleep because the energy would not have penetrated all of the seven chakras.
After completing the meditatioHn, go to sleep in the same meditative mood. Just fall asleep and the energy of Existence will be with you. You will be engulfed by it. The sleep that follows this meditation will be intense and dreamless. When you wake up the next morning you will feel fresher, more energetic and more vital than ever before.
This is a very powerful technique and when done consistently, will transform you completely. A new life, a new meaning, a new Truth will start flowing into you. It is a wonderful technique that keeps the connection between you and me alive all the time. It is a technique that takes you again and again to Parashakti or the cosmos. You will experience joy and each day will become a celebration!
