Meditation from Prague
A guide to meditation and prāṇāyāma. Sit comfortably upright with a mālā for mantra repetition. Close the eyes, withdraw from the external world, and relax the entire body. Chant Oṁ to center awareness. Feel the body's relaxed, motionless state and the subtle energy within. Observe the natural rhythm of the ascending and descending breath without change. Feel divine blessings and be one with this bliss, beyond all wishes. Concentrate energy moving between the navel and the Sahasrāra Cakra with the breath. Perform alternate nostril prāṇāyāma, focusing on purification. Practice mild bastrika and Jālandhara Bandha. Conclude with physical postures and a forward bend, expressing thankfulness and surrendering.
"Feel the divine energy, the divine blessing, the divine mercy of God."
"Try not to wish anything. Don’t ask for anything. It’s only bliss and bliss."
