Meditation from Vep

A guided meditation harmonizes the five sheaths and elements through focused awareness. Relax the entire body from head to toes. Direct all thoughts, feelings, and energy to the origin at the navel, allowing the five elements to harmonize from that point. The mantra resonates spontaneously from the navel to the heart, then upward. Inhale to the navel, feeling the body, prāṇa, mind, knowledge, and divine consciousness. Be aware of the five kośas—the physical, energetic, mental, wisdom, and bliss sheaths—covering the true self. All five bodies are yours; observe and protect them. Feel the elements of space, fire, sound, air, and earth within the body. Be centered in the navel, the resonance point for all elements. Finally, fold hands in prayer for peace and wisdom.

"Be aware: annamaya kośa, prāṇamaya kośa, manomaya kośa, vijñānamaya kośa, and ānandamaya kośa. These are all five covers over your ātmā."

"Feel your body, and through the body, all the elements: the endless space, the fire, nāda, the air. And the earth, our physical body."

From the Nābhi, Anāhata, Viśuddhi, and through the Ājñā to the Sahasrāra, relax. Feel your whole body from the toes to the top of the head, and from the top of the head to the toes. Relax, relax, relax. Relax. Feel your body, feel your breath, and observe your thoughts within thyself. Be one with thyself. Direct all your thoughts, your feelings, and your awareness on your root, where you began. And that’s in the navel. Relax. And let all the energy direct toward the navel. From there, all five elements will harmonize, relax, and concentrate our direction towards our origin, the navel. You know that you have to repeat your mantras as Anāhada. Spontaneously, your mantra is also in your origin, from the navel to the heart. From there, Viśuddhi and Sahasrāra. Through the Ājñā Chakra, slightly expand and contract your stomach. Now, take a deep inhale and exhale, and begin to chant oṁ. Inhale to the navel. Feel the whole body. Feel the prāṇa. Observe your mind. Feel the great jñāna, the knowledge. And feel the divine consciousness. Feel your body, and through the body, all the elements: the endless space, the fire, nāda, the air. And the earth, our physical body. This is your whole being. Be aware: annamaya kośa, prāṇamaya kośa, manomaya kośa, vijñānamaya kośa, and ānandamaya kośa. These are all five covers over your ātmā. All is yours. Just remember, feel, visualize, and be aware that I am within five bodies. It is you, and it is yours. Observe, protect; it’s all five kośas. I am one, and all is in me, and I am in all. Relaxed, comfortable, feel your being here, all five bodies, repeat your mantra, relax completely. Now, be in the center of your being, nābhi. And all the resonance within, for all elements. Five times pañcakośa. Fold your hands and pray to Mahāprabhujī for peace, harmony, protection, and wisdom. Hari Om.
