As usual, no extensive preparations are needed. Choose your most comfortable position. The ground here is not perfectly even, but hopefully you can still relax. Say goodbye to your mobile phones for a moment and try to feel comfortable. Close your eyes. Take a few deep inhalations and exhalations. Relax your whole body, from your toes to your head, and from your head back to your toes. Let go of any desire to fix or improve anything. Release all mental effort. Try to fill your mind with the experience of your body lying on the ground. The weight of your body is held by the earth. The quality of mother earth is to draw all tensions from your body. With each exhalation, the whole body sinks down into the earth. Slowly, breath by breath, we begin to experience the physical, mental, and emotional feeling. Relax your facial muscles, especially relax your eyebrows after so much Citākāśa Dhāraṇā concentration. Relax and feel your jaws. As we relax our jaws, we let go of any concerns. Then we come to the shoulders. By relaxing your shoulders, release any sense of responsibility. Just let go. As the shoulders relax, our collarbones begin to release and the chest opens to the breath. Here you can pause for a moment, just to feel the inner movement of your breath. There is no need to interfere with its natural flow. Only be aware of how the belly rises and falls, and how the chest expands and contracts. The legs are heavy. The feet fall to the sides. Relax. If any thoughts appear, just let them come and let them go. Feel your inner peace. The relaxation of the whole body and the contact with the earth bring to your conscious mind thoughts about the Self—the true, inner, pure, unborn, everlasting Self. Śivo’ham, śivo’ham. Na puṇyam, na pāpam, na saukyam, na duḥkham, na mantro, na tīrtham, na veda, na yajña. Na bhoktā. Cidānanda-rūpaḥ śivo’ham, śivo’ham. Cidānanda-rūpaḥ śivo’ham śivo’ham, na me mṛtyu-śaṅkā, na me jāti-bhedaḥ, pitā naiva me, naiva mātā, na janma, na bandhuḥ, na mitram, gurur naiva, śiṣyaḥ... Cidānanda-rūpa śivo’ham śivo’ham... Ahaṃ nirvikalpo nirākāra rūpo vibhur vyāpya sarvatra sarvendriyāṇām sadā me samatvam na muktir na bandhaḥ cidānandarūpaḥ śivo’ham śivo’ham. Slowly, slowly, we become more conscious once again of being here. Feel the air touching the skin. Feel your breath. Take a deeper inhalation and exhalation. Slowly begin to move your fingers, your toes, and gradually your whole body. When you are ready, please come up to a sitting position.
