The HL Meditation

The 'Holistic Mediation' is a special meditation designed specially to shake off the roots of a fragmented psyche, thus opening the door for Holistic Living. It helps us to easily expand - to be & feel the totality, enables us to use all our faculties to live a particular moment intensely, and helps us experience the state of transcendental & infinite being-ness - as our very Self.

HL Meditation has been designed by Poojya Guruji Sri Swami Atmanandaji and is initially practiced in the Weekly HL Forums with his pre-recorded Audio Tape.

Best Time : Early morning after you have had a good sleep and have freshened up. Can be repeated anytime of the day.

Steps & Sequence of HL Meditation:

1. Sit down comfortably in any asana in which you can sit without moving for minimum 15-20 minutes. You can sit down with legs folded on the ground (preferable), or even in a chair. However keep your back absolutely straight, and don't take rest on the wall or chairs back-rest.

2. Deep Breathe three times. Inhale to your full lung capacity, retain for some time, then exhale all the air our completely. Breathe with your nose, keeping the mouth shut. Remain with empty lungs for a moment, and then again inhale.

3. While inhalation 'feel' as though all the good qualities you cherish are going inside you, and while exhalation 'feel' that all the negativities are going out from your body.

4. Visualize that you are standing near some beach or seeing the vast infinite skies. Feel you have become one with this vast expanse. You are all-pervasive like the sky. You are one with all, everything is in you. Be in this state for sometime, enjoying this 'expansion' and the state of 'infinite being'. Know this to be your real identity.

5. Then slowly become conscious of your body again. Feel you have donned this robe again to play whatever drama & role which you deem fit on the stage of life.

6. Pray to God that 'May you always retain the total holistic vision at all times', and 'May all be happy & prosperous'. Slowly move your fingers, legs and body posture. Then get up to live a dynamic & inspired day.
