Aum Take a deep breath thrice. Prayer with Aum thrice. Sthirasukham asanam. Be aware of the posture always from the freshness of the present moment, not from the memory of earlier experience. The posture is Now. Keep it upright, allow the shoulders to relax and also hands. Sport a smile on the lips, allow the tummy muscles to relax, chest, the face and the brain, giving an auto suggestion to relax is a powerful way of relaxing a body as well as the mind. I keep the eyes lightly closed. Now, I keep the posture without any notion, no movement. If there is an urge to move, just ignore it because if you obey the urge and move one time, soon you will have to move one more time. The trick is to ignore very first time. Just remain still. It is very interesting to note that as I keep the body still, as long I keep the body still, the mind remains silent, the breath slows down. Just there is the little movement caused by the breath or the tummy which rises and falls and even smaller movement of the chest. Except for that movement of prana, the body and mind are still. When I am in a hightened state of alertness, when the body-mind are still, I am fully alert but the waking state is no more. In the sense that the duality of me and the world is absent. When the body and the mind are still, the immediate is absent. The pure Being is the immediate.   The immediate of life yields place to the immediate awareful Being. Keep the body still, mind becomes still, opening the door to deeper state of alertful, awareful Being. Visualize a pot containing murky water kept in a corner without any disturbance. In due course of time, as the pot remains undisturbed, all the impurities of the water fall down and water becomes pure. I apply now that imagery to this body-mind. The body is the pot, mind is the water inside the pot filling the pot and I keep the body still, not moving at all. No movement, ignore all urges to move, I take body into my command. I decide, I can do that. Now I see that the mind is still too. We just leave it at that. Gradually the mind will lose its crudity and its distortions. I leave the body and the mind still, alone and I abide peacefully in myself, myself. Now, not the creature of the past, drop all that baggage of the past and I remain as myself. I Am in the heart. Body is still, brain is silent. I Am in the heart abiding peacefully as myself. I am not the historic self, I am myself, just myself, nothing more, nothing less, just myself. As I remain myself, the Sun of Atma shines in the heart. I AM. Aum Shanti Shanti ShantiH. Relax, allow the body to move little, I proved to myself that I can keep the body-mind still for not less than 20-25 minutes, I am happy. Slowly open the eyes.
