Kundalini Meditation

Meditation for Removing Fear of the Future

• This meditation takes away your fears of the future which have been created by your subconscious memories of the past. lt will force you to deal with your heart center.

• Posture: Sit comfortably in easy pose.

• Mudra: Rest the back of the left hand in the palm of the right hand. The right thumb nestles in the palm of the left hand and the left thumb crosses it. The fingers of the right hand curve around the outside of the left hand and hold it gently. Holding your hands in this way will give you a peaceful, secure feeling.

• Put this mudra at your heart center with the palm side resting against your chest.

• Mantra: Meditate to your favorite version of "Dhan, Dhan, Ram Das Guru.”

• Time: Start with 11 minutes and slowly and gradually work up to 31 minutes of practice time.
