AUM.    Look at the mind, allow the mind to drop it's entire baggage of ideas, know that an idea about anything may not be the truth. More often than not ideas are not the truth. Truth is found in silence, ideation is not the way to truth. Let go the ideas, don't cling to the ideas. Allow the mind to become spacelike, empty if you will. See that there is freedom when the mind is empty, freedom which is love. See that you need to be free to be able to love, unless you are free you cannot love. Pray to Ishwara with love Aum NamaH Shivaya Shree Gurubhyo NamaH sthira sukhamasanam be aware of the posture, awareness of the posture is a way to keep the mind quite. The posture is upright such that the body relaxes around the upright vertical axis. The hands and shoulders are relaxed. Generally the hands are in a gripping mode and shoulders hunched up, let go, the stomach relaxes. Generally the muscles of the stomach are tight due to the stress created by thought. Allow these muscles to relax. Auto suggestion is the way to overcome the stress. Look at the jaw, allow it to relax, don't be so determined, let go. Sport a smile. Keep the eyes lightly closed, look downwards. Aasanam. Visualise a tree, standing majestically with the roots fixed in the ground, even while holding on to the ground, the tree reaches heavens with the branches. vruksho eva stabdho divitishtathi , the tree always meditating, the tree is a devata, always silent, accepting everything, meditating, a link between earth and heaven. BhuH, earth, bhuvaH, space, sky and suvaH, heaven, tree is the link. I am the tree. The bones, the skeleton, fixed to the ground by its mass, but I reach the heaven through the sky. BhuH, BhavaH, SuvaH. I am the link between the earth and heaven,   sthira sukhamasanam. Aasanam  is the pure Being, the peaceful abidance in myself. Remain alert, don't be distracted and abide peacefully, silently in yourself, aasanam. Are you in the head or heart ? Just check, be in the heart, leave the head alone, head is ego even when it is very knowledgable, still ego. Heart is love, heart is innocent, in spite of the head. Abide peacefully in the heart, abide peacefully in the heart. I AM. Aham asmi  I Am , not the sentence I am, the non-verbal I AM, the feeling I Am. Not the idea I Am, the non-verbal I  Am, don't try to expalin it, don't try to retionalise, just Be, the feeling of I Am. It is the Being, awareful Being, self shining Being, which doesn't need perception I Am. In fact perception originates in the Being, I AM.
