Teaching Tips:
1. Follow the three steps of Jivamukti meditation without attachment to any result:
Step 1: Sit down. Consciously choose your seat. In meditation practice, your spine is like an antenna, enabling you to pick up and to transmit cosmic frequencies beyond the ordinary sense perceptions. Your spine should be unhindered and as extended as possible. Relax your face. Allow the jaw to release, and the chin level with the floor with your eyes gently closed. Once you have chosen your seat, then move to the next step.
Step 2: Be still. Do not change or doubt your choice of seat for the remainder of your practice time. Keep your seat. Stick with it. As the great yogi, Jesus, said in his meditation instruction, “Be still, and know that I am.” So choose your seat, sit still, and now you are ready for the final step.
Step 3: Give the mind something to focus upon so the thinking, or fragmenting, of the mind becomes lessened. Use the breath as the focus. Don’t you breathe! Instead, allow the breath to breathe your body, and watch it or witness it as it is happening. You may want to silently repeat a mantra with each incoming and outgoing breath. This is very helpful in directing the mind towards its source, which is cosmic awareness.
2. Re-read the Magic Ten and Beyond Book for more details and inspiration. 3. Play around with bringing the idea of grace filled meditation into practices like walking, eating, chanting and of course asana.
