In times like these, it helps to go slowly. Be mindful, release things that do not serve you, and find ways to open up to all the possibilities. It’s a struggle, I know, but we are all in that struggle.
I’m sharing a meditation called Meditation for Rough Times Ahead. It is said that this meditation balances the distribution of the red and white blood cells which is the most difficult to control. It is the area that defends our total health.
Sit in Easy Pose (or chair) with a straight spine. Bend the right elbow and raise the right hand up to the side as if taking an oath. Hold the first two fingers straight, joined and pointing up. Curl the other two fingers down into the palm and lock the thumb over them. Hold the left hand in the same hand gesture with the two outstretched fingers touching the heart wherever you feel the heart center is. To find, draw a line between the nipples and drop a perpendicular line from the nose, the intersection is the heart lotus. Make the outstretched fingers as straight as possible for a better electromagnetic field around you.
Breathe slowly, meditatively, and with control, taking the breath from the nose up to the area between the eyebrows and then down to the heart where the fingers are. The breath must go touching the entire area, and you must feel it. Eyes are gazing at the tip of the nose.
Practice this meditation for 11 minutes. To end, inhale and exhale deeply three times.
If you have time, please chant the mantra Akal three times every day to honor the souls of the thousands of people that have succumbed to this virus and send love, light and healing for their families and friends as well as all the front liners. Be safe!
In loving service,
Rosan
