Meditation Brahm Mudra

Pose: easy pose. Neck Lock Mudra: make fists of both hands. The thumb should be on the outside of the fist with your index fingers pointing straight up. Hold the two hands so that they face each other. The left hand is lower, the left index fingertip is even with the base of the right thumb. Yogi Bhajan said that, "The two hands are like conches pointing to God." Eyes: are open. Gaze straight ahead through the space created by the hands. Your hands are about 1 ft. in front of your face. Mantra: mentally chant the: Ad Guray Namay, Jugad Guray Namay, Sat Guray Namay, Siree Guru Dev-ay Namay. Time: 11min. After 11 min. close your eyes. Hold this position and chant the mantra aloud in a monotone at a moderate rhythm.

Comments: "This mudra symbolizes yin and yang pointing towards God. It is a mudra of immediate Spirit and protection. All previous incarnations, the present, and the future, shall be directed towards righteousness. This mudra changes the metabolism of the mind. The hand position is a "funny mandala" called "Brahm Mandala." This Meditation is great to practice when your behavior is at odds with your higher intentions. It is also good for deep depression and overall inconsistency in character. It creates happiness where there was no happiness. The mantra used in this Meditation is for protection. Chant it before you drive, get on a plane, or walk out the door. It is said that if you were fated to have an accident, it can be averted through the agency of this vibratory effect. This mantra gives an 11 second leeway in time and space. That can make all the difference! There is a story associated with this mantra. An illiterate cobbler asked Guru Arjan (5th in the lineage of 10 Sikh Gurus) for a personal mantra. Guru Arjan asked him to recite specific prayers from the Sikh liturgy each day. The cobbler said that he couldn't possibly memorize something so long. Guru Arjan suggested that he do this mantra. So, as the cobbler was repairing people's sandals he would chant this mantra all day long. It came to pass that when people wore the sandals which the cobbler had worked on, they became healed of all their afflictions. Pretty soon there was a line a mile long outside of the cobblers little hut. This mantra, called the Mangalacharan Mantra (charan meets feet, or at the feet of) will help you to increase the magnitude of your mission: to use your gifts to heal, uplift, and inspire. Even if you are a shoemaker, you can make a difference in people's lives!
