At the place in which we regularly
meditate, we collect the oscillations of meditation, making it
easier each time to meditate there. Thus, it is recommendable
to meditate in a fixed place. It is also advisable to always
wear the same clothes and use the same cushion; the oscillations
of meditation will also gather together, thus facilitating meditation.
It is recommended to meditate twice a day and always at the same
time; the time can be chosen individually. Through regular meditation,
every day at the same time, meditation becomes habitual for the
body.
When we sit down to meditate, we look forward to the meditation.
We close our eyes. We let our breath flow and observe it. We observe
the sounds and smells surrounding us, not evaluate them, simply
letting them be. We allow emerging thoughts and images to come
and go without evaluating them. We do not scrutinise anything,
no thought and no picture, we let everything be – easy
and effortless. After a short time we speak our Mantra in thoughts.
We repeat it quietly and at a regular rate – easy and
effortless.
We observe the Mantra. If a new thought suddenly emerges, we follow
it, accept it and then let it go and then return to the Mantra – easy
and effortless. No matter which feelings also emerge, we let them
be as they are, follow them, accept them, let them go and return
to the Mantra – easy and effortless. Even when negative feelings
emerge, we are not worried. We also follow and accept them; even
when it hurts and makes us sad. As we accept them, the situations
that cause stress are removed and the related tensions released.
It is in this way that the universally conscious energy removes
our tensions.
Thoughts that emerge during meditation should not be forcefully
removed, but we should instead observe them, accept them and let
them go; without any kind of constraint – easy and effortless.
Then we return to our Mantra. We carry out this routine with every
thought that emerges in us. If a word emerges, we perceive it easily
and effortlessly, we observe it, we accept it, we let it pull out
and then turn back to our Mantra. If a picture emerges, we perceive
it easily and effortlessly, we observe it, we accept it, we let
it pull out and then turn back to our Mantra. We are only free
of our thoughts during meditation whilst we transcend.
The one who like to meditate without the instruction of a master of meditation and thus without his personal Mantra, repeats either hmm or homm. These two mantras are not an equivalent substitute for a personal Kinemantra, but with regard to the contents completely neutral and therefore for everyone the best and most effective alternative; (homm has to be pronounced like the name Tom but h instead of T) - (hmm has to be pronounced like homm but without the h). Mantras like Om, Om Namah Shivaya, So’ham, Hrim (hreem), Krim (kreem), Hum (hoom) oder Shrim (shreem) are not to be recommended for a deep relaxation since they stand for very specific meanings and therefore rather turn away the meditating one from the targeted depth relaxation, than to support it.
We always meditate with the consciousness: ‘I am unrestricted.
I am neither different from the universally conscious energy, nor
is the universally conscious energy different from me.’
