A Meditation Instruction

A meditation instruction on posture and focus. Place your right hand over the heart and left hand over the navel, resting lightly. Keep both legs straight. Inhale and exhale normally. The eyes are open, but awareness is directed inward toward the heart. Do not let concentration waver. We perform a small, nameless devotional song that is meditation-like. The practice is simply to be present with this focus.

"Eyes are open, our awareness is on our chest."

"Do not let your concentration waver, everyone."

Place your right hand over your heart and your left hand over the nābhi. Do not apply pressure; simply ensure your hands rest on these two points—the nābhi and the brahmarī. We will address them later. Close your eyes and keep both legs straight. Yes. Inhale and exhale normally, very normally. If you fall, please stand up. This means our eyes should be open, but directed inward toward our heart. Is that clear? This is your practice. You come here. Anyone else? Go ahead, look. Do not let your concentration waver, everyone. I told you to focus here, and I should look only at this. If someone is doing something else, they will do it. Eyes are open, our awareness is on our chest, and the left hand is on the navel. We shall perform a small bhajan, a pochke—not you. That is all; it is not any named bhajan or anything like that. It is only very nice, only meditation-like. So, who can do this? You will do it? Okay.
