Heal yourself - heal others, heal the planet - Mother Earth... This raises the healing energies consciously and builds focus and activates the 'Healing Third' (Medical care and physical care being the other two thirds) Useful for healing others in all states of need, be it physical, mental and emotional, or spiritual. In this case, the hands are held out to the sides in an “open” position as shown here and explained below. It is equally effective for healing our selves, and the hand positions can be “heart lock” which is palms crossed across the heart center, palms facing in, with the left hand closest to the heart. These eight basic sounds tap into the energies of the Sun, Moon, Earth, and the Infinite Spirit to bring deep healing. It is also a deep affirmation of the merger of the self and the Infinite. The chant is most appropriately done in one breath, though a pause between the two phrases is acceptable if you are unable to do it in one breath or are introducing new people to the practice as was done on this video. It can be done by any one person alone, or in a group sitting in “classroom” style or in a circle. When using a circle it is also appropriate to have a few people lie in the center who wish to have healing energy directed towards them. They do not chant but simply close their eyes and relax. Those who carry the chant will also share in the healing energy and they can focus also on others to whom they wish to send the healing energy. This meditation can be done once to cover some immediate emergency or for any number of days you feel support is needed. Certainly a serious situation warrants a 40 day practice. An effective minimum time to chant is 11 minutes but it can also be done for 22 or 31 minutes as was chanted on this video. Here's How To Do It:Siri gaitri mantra meditation mudra Asana: Sit on the floor in Easy Pose (legs crossed) or sit in a chair with feet flat on the floor. Remember to keep your spine straight during the meditation. Remember to engage a slight “neck lock“ with the chin pulled back to straighten the cervical vertebrae. Drishti and Pranayam: Eyes are closed and looking out the “Third Eye point.” The breath will adjust itself as you chant. Mudra: Relax your arms and position them so they are bent at your sides with the palms facing upward as flat as possible without straining. Angle forearms in from the sides about 45 degrees while the upper arms rest firmly against the rib cage. Siri Gaitri Mantra Raa Maa Daa Saa Saa Say So Hung 1. Sitting in Easy Pose or a chair, chant the Adi Mantra (the “Tuning In” mantra) three times. 2. Chant the “Siri Gaitri” mantra with this video or a capella. With the sound of the first “Saa” and again with the sound “Hung” pull the navel backwards powerfully. Let the sound of “Hung” resonate clearly in the nasal passages. Chant for 11, 22, or 31 minutes. 3. When the meditation has finished, powerfully and deeply inhale while raising arms above your head, and hold for 10-15 seconds. Powerfully and deeply exhale. Repeat inhale-hold-exhale once more with raised arms. Then lower your arms to your lap/knees and sit quietly. Feel the vibrations of the mantra in you and around youRa Ra means the sun. Chanting “ra” helps connect you with the frequency that gives you energy. This strong, hot, and bright energy can purify you from within. Ma Ma means moon. Cool and nurturing, Ma symbolizes the receptive trait in you, to accept everything that comes your way calmly. Da Da is the energy of the earth. This is the frequency that keeps you grounded despite all the uncertainties in life. It gives you a sense of security that makes you feel like everything is going to be alright in the end, no matter what happens. Sa Sa represents the impersonal infinity. As you chant this sound, your energy rises up and flows outwards, merging with the divine healing frequencies of the universe. Sa When Sa is chanted the second time, you draw this infinity into you. Say Say is the embodiment of Sa. It represents the totality of infinity and is quite a personal experience. It is the means to honor and respect the sacred “Thou”. So So symbolizes the personal sense of merger and self-awareness. Hung Hung stands for the infinite, vibrating and real. When So and Hung are chanted together, it means, “I am thou”.
