Posture: Sit in an Easy Pose, with a light jalandhar bandha. (Neck lock- chin tucked slightly in)
Mudra: Keep the spine straight. Let the arms extend straight and rest over the knees. Make Buddhi Mudra with both hands (touch the thumb tips to the tips of the little fingers). The other fingers are relaxed but straight. Become completely still, physically and mentally, like a calm ocean.
Buddhi Mudra links the energy of Mercury to the Earth, to foster communication and healing.
Mantra:
SA RAY SA SA, SA RAY SA SA SA, RAY SA SA SA RANG
HAR RAY HAR HAR, HAR RAY HAR HAR, HAR RAY HAR HAR, HAR RANG
If listening to the mantra on a tape, listen to the chant for a minute. Feel its rhythm in every cell. Then chant along.
Time: Continue for 11-31 minutes.
Antar Naad Mudra is the meditation that opens the chakras for the full effect of any other mantra. It is a sensitizing meditation for the impact of the inner sound current. It is the base of all mantras. The original practice of mastery in mantra required that you master this before any other mantra practice.
The esoteric structure of the mantra is coded in the qualities each of the sounds represent and the rhythm that weaves them together into a coherent and powerful effect.
Sa means the Infinite, the totality, God. It is the element of ether. It initiates and contains all other effects. It is subtle and beyond. Har is the creativity of the Earth. It is the dense element. It is the power of manifestation, the tangible, the personal. These sounds are woven together then projected through the sound of Ang, or complete totality, like the original sound Aum or Ong.
