Meditation I

Aligning the Mind, Body and Soul

     Your chest is a great ocean of energy. In it you find the heart. The peace for which every soul strives and which is the true nature of God and the utmost goal of man is found in the heart, or by following the heart. The source of every truth is hidden in every human's heart. The heart is the seat of life, and life is the outcome of harmony. The whole secret of creation is harmony. The harmony of the universe is life itself. And it is life that every one desires. It is life that is the real source of healing. The temple of God resides in the heart. It is the essence of all beings, the progressive, higher self within the self. Always throbbing, always beating, the heart is the ultimate chanter. And the beat of the heart is the rhythm of your soul. The heart chants continuously, relating to the presence of God - the Creative force that continues, uninterrupted. This relationship is perfectly balanced and harmonious. Whether or not you pay attention to it, the heart beats on. The beauty herein is that the moment your heart stops beating, you are released from this world of illusion called Maya. Unfortunately, mankind has replaced the precious internal temple of the heart with the external exterior form of worship. This is a grave error. We must not lose the temple that is the heart. These types of exercises can enable you to align your mental, astral, and physical bodies so that you can become aware of the true, initial cause of imbalance and illness. This, in turn, will provide you with an opportunity to empower and heal yourself by seeking out those situations and persons in your life that need to be addressed and tended to in order to reach a healing point of resolution. The first part of this "I Am Meditation" is an empowering, healing exercise designed to cleanse the lymph glands and the lungs in the upper chest and help you prevent breast cancer and heart attack. It also helps to balance the right and left hemispheres of the brain because the hands are the servants of the brain. The benefits of this meditation are both physical and metaphysical.

Step I. 3 Minutes - Warm-up
Sit as calmly as you can, in any posture that does not cause pain. Relax the arms at the sides with the palms facing forward. As rapidly as possible, alternately bend the elbows so that the forearms come up toward the heart center. Do not bend the wrists or hands, and do not touch the chest. As you proceed with this movement, the arms will begin to feel as if they are moving automatically. Try to maintain a balance in the rhythmic motion of your hands. If your hands hit each other, it means that this balance has been upset. After a couple of minutes you may feel sweat on your forehead. Do this first part for at least three minutes.

Step II. 11 Minutes
Put your hands on your heart, listen to your heart beat and feel like you are at home. You are resting in the center of your self. Chant along with "I Am I Am" on the Sounds of the Ether CD. As you chant I Am, feel it in the depth of your soul. Connect with this Divine flame of light that burns within yourself, and let it shine forth and welcome all that is good, all that is healing, all that will aid humankind and its growth in this world. Connect with your heart so that this Divine candlelight may burn brightly, holding your mind, body and spirit, so that these things of goodness and of love may come to you, and God in all his wisdom may guide you towards those healing paths that you are meant to walk.

Step III: Send love, peace, and light to the world. Recite the prayer of Light:

     It is critical that you remember that words are powerful. They are living things, servants and slaves to our will, and they will seek to find a way to manifest in shape and form. We must be aware of our magical power and creative inheritance, and take responsibility for what we say, manifest, and do. More than ever before, this is essential. Recite the prayer of love, peace, and light, and make amends, heal yourself and help the world. In addition to reciting this prayer, simply listening to it also has tremendous benefits. Dim the lights in a quiet room, and light a candle. Lie down comfortably on your back, allowing yourself to completely relax. Play the last track on the CD Healing Fire or Blissful Spirit (see bottom of page for ordering information.) Both contain the prayer of Love, Peace, and Light. Put your CD player on repeat mode and listen to this prayer for at least eleven minutes. Many healers allow their patients to listen to this prayer as they receive treatment, as they have found that it magnifies the benefits of various therapies. It is very important to add here, the architecture of this prayer is what makes it work. There is a precise order or structure to it, that creates the perfect healing impact.

Incorporate this "I Am" exercise and meditation into your daily spiritual practice. It is an excellent addition. Recite this sacred sound as you face East towards the rising Sun that is symbolic of the Fountain of Light.

Meditation II

Connecting with Your Guiding Spirit

     The following "I Am Meditation" is designed to help you draw from the infinite source of power and strength within. It will open the doors of your heart and let the power of the Spirit flow in and through you. By opening the heart, we gain access to our Holy Guardian Angel, characterized by a strong manifestation of intuition. This is the final resting place for the Shaktic power after its ascent, and it is the ideal to which mystics aspire. Therefore, meditations such as this one, are designed to prepare our minds, bodies, and consciousness for the liberation of the Divine and Sweet Fire buried deep inside us. By chanting the sacred mantra, "I Am that I Am," you are vibrating the very name of The Lord, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, that He revealed to Moses. After the revelation, God then said, this is my Name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations. Therefore, when you chant "I Am I Am", the name of God, God will start flowing through you. For the power of the name of God is such that whosoever pronounces it with the tongue will purify his or her entire being. As a result, the purified being becomes God, forever.

Chanting this mantra, then, connects you with Moses’ experience in the burning bush. It links you to The Divine Flame of Fire, which burst forth from the Holy ground on the Mountain of God. Moreover, chanting mantras such as "I Am that I Am" while maintaining a simultaneous mental connection with the Sun awakens powers heretofore unknown, and re-awakens those that are dormant by evoking the inner spiritual force, manifested as the Holy Flame of Divine Fire. We chant "I Am that I Am" to pierce to the core of truth and understand the nature of reality. "I Am that I Am" expresses the very origin of God. It will cause that immeasurable force of high spiritual vibration to infuse your being, while moving and shifting your life to the highest moral goal and self perfection.

I AM, I AM Meditation
Sit with a straight spine. Place your right hand on your knee in wisdom pose, (thumb and forefinger pressed together). Your left hand should be at the level of your heart, pointing towards the right with the palm flat and fingers straight. Your eyes should remain mostly closed, and should be focused on your left hand. As you begin, you want to keep your left hand six inches away from your chest. As you say the first I AM, however, you will want to move it about six inches closer. As you say the second I AM, the hand will then move back to the starting position. Keep repeating the sequence. Your chest is a great ocean of energy. When you chant I am, feel it in the depth of your soul. Do it slowly and put your self into it. The closer I AM means, I AM who I know myself to be, while the farther I AM means, I AM that which is greater than I know myself to be.

As you do the meditation, feel light energy enter your chest and heart, surrounding you with a field of bright light that takes your mind into an expansive peacefulness. With each I AM, feel the sun of healing, brilliant light rising in your heart and your entire body be filled with its illuminating radiance. Let all the worries of the day drop away as you circulate the sacred sound, I Am I Am. You are listening to the eternal ocean through it. Start with a few minutes each day, adding more as you progress and eventually working up to 11 minutes.

Note: In addition to meditations, various mudras can be used to develop different aptitudes. By touching the thumb to the middle finger you start to develop discipline. Having the thumb touch the ring finger heightens nervous strength. Having the thumb touch the pinkie finger heightens communicative abilities.
 

Why Our Sacred Music is Unique

     All music on the Rootlight label has been created during the most positive and healing phase of the Moon to magnify the beneficial impact upon the listener. They are created in accord with the natural and healing laws of the universe. All our music is especially created to bring their listener a host of benefits and blessings. Our sacred music series is a unique collection of spiritual recordings that enable you to work efficiently with your breath. Many of the tracks on the Rootlight Sacred Music CD series call for you to use the breath in order to enhance the depth of the effects of the kundalini shakti mantras offered. Once your breathing pattern is regulated to four breaths per minute, your central brain will begin functioning more intensely. Those who work with the mantras on these CDs properly, will breathe at about two and half breaths per minute. The pineal gland and pituitary glands shift their relation to each other, making the effects of the outer and inner sound more potent. Thus, these powerful mantras are able to penetrate more deeply. As a result, you will become better able to synchronize and move into the divine flow thereby more fully manifesting your intentions.

 
May the love of heaven eternally surround you,
and the bright Sun infinitely bless you,
and the pure light in your heart guide you always.
