Meditation from Vienna
A guided meditation on the sound Oṁ and its journey through four stations of consciousness.
Sit comfortably with a straight spine and relax. Close the eyes to see within. The chant originates from the navel, the source of one's roots and consciousness. This resonance expands endlessly beyond all borders, expanding one's entire being and connecting to the infinite. The sound Oṁ is eternal consciousness. From the navel, the resonance moves to the heart center, Anāhata, which is endless. It then manifests through the throat, Viśuddhi, and ascends to the crown, Sahasrāra. Dwell the consciousness through these four stations: Nābhi, Anāhata, Viśuddhi, and Sahasrāra. Everything to be known is within. The light of the Guru, meaning the dispeller of darkness, purifies ignorance. Chant Oṁ from the navel into the universe. Balance the breath through the subtle channels. All balance originates from the navel. Inhale and exhale, feeling the body. The pure resonance of the five elements cannot be understood by science. Feel the oneness where all is within and the self is all.
"From the navel you were born; your seed, your roots, yourself, your consciousness—everything began from there."
"All is you, and you are all. All it is, is thyself."
