Aum. Look at the body, this body with its comforts and discomforts. Look at the mind with its pleasures and pains. Now while taking a deep breath twice I would rise above these concerns of the body and mind now. Having risen above the concerns of the body-mind, I abide peacefully as myself. Not the self identified with body-mind simply myself, the pure Being, myself the pure Being, is ever happy meaning it has no unhappiness. Myself the pure Being is ever secure meaning no insecurity, myself the pure Being is the source of strength, the source of strength to the mind and the body. I abide as myself, the pure Being which is freedom and freedom is love. I be, I love to be, the love comes out as the prayer, the supreme prayer in the form of the simple sacred universal sound Aum thrice with the outgoing breath now. Aum...Aum...Aum... Merge in the silence, just be silent, do not try to grasp the silence with the mind, just be silent. Do not try to understand the silence, that makes the silence the other, just be silent. Say to yourself one time silence is myself and be silent. Say to yourself as I am silent I am familiar or become familiar with my own Being and be silent. Now be aware of the posture, say to yourself; Sthira Sukham Asanam. Keep the legs on the floor firmly, now stretch the back upwards, you stretch well, now fix the back. Now no further movement, sthira, the body is still, keep it still, don't move. Ignore any urge to move, accept any discomfort or even pain but do not move. AS you keep the body still, the mind becomes still too. Now sukham; begin with the shoulders, keep the shoulders in the hands loosely not hunched up, hands in the lap, palms upward, the right hand in the left hand, thumbs may touch each other like a lotus. Now do not move hands any further. Watch the tummy, allow the muscles to relax, allow the chest to relax. Recollect Dakshinamurthy with the imperceptible smile, the silent smile, sport a smile on the lips, the face relaxes, eyes relax. Look at the brain which is the seed of ego in the form of mine and me, brain cells are the seat of me and mine, I see that and allow the me and mine to evaporate upwards. As they go, the brain relaxes. Now slowly come down meaning be aware of the mouth, the throat and the heart and abide in the heart as I Am. I Be. I abide in myself peacefully, shamata, abiding in myself peacefully. I Am, not this not that, I Am myself. I abide peacefully in myself with myself as myself. AS the body remains still, mind remains quiet, I abide as myself. I depend upon myself for happiness. I depend upon myself for security. I get strength from myself as I abide as myself peacefully shamata, abiding peacefully as myself, I Am, I Be, I love to Be. I love to Be, just Be. Aum Shanti Shanti ShantiH. Relax, sit at ease and relax. Slowly open the eyes. Aum.
