2. | Inhale deeply and then say sat nam (“the Truth Within”) while concentrating on the rectum, sat nam while concentrating on the sex organ, sat nam while concentrating on the navel, sat nam while concentrating on the sternum (heart center), sat nam while concentrating on the throat, sat nam while concentrating on the brow, wahay (roughly translated as “Ecstasy”) while concentrating on the top of the head, and guru (roughly translated as “Consciousness”) while concentrating above the head. Say the mantra out loud to this rhythm: sat nam sat nam sat nam sat nam sat nam sat nam wahay guru (rectum, sex organ, navel, sternum, throat, brow, top of the head, and above). Pull your navel in to accent these sounds. Do this for 11 minutes. | |
