About this Meditation
“This meditation brings relaxation, strength, and mental clarity. It brings soul talk – the infinite capacity to experience the power of your soul right on the spot. It enables you to keep giving to a friend. If you do this meditation for 11 minutes a day for six months, you will experience the cosmos. You can talk to God. If you do it for a year, God will come and listen to you!
Remember: you breathe, you live, because there is a soul in you. The soul is a tiny tender light in your body. I’m giving you a meditation today. I call it the “Last Meditation.” It is not that it is the last meditation I will teach you. But understand it’s essence. It is for when life doesn’t work for you, and you don’t want to go to anybody and say, ‘I’m going crazy, please help me.’ I understand that sometimes personal image is very important. Despite how depressed you may be, just do this meditation and find out for yourself. Kundalini Yoga is a science and an art which can totally make a human being healthy, happy, and holy.
The mantra means: ‘You are beloved of my Soul, Oh God.’ It causes a very subtle rub against the center of the palate, and stimulates the 32nd meridian, known in the West as the Christ Meridian, and in the East as Sattvica Buddha Bindh. The tongue and lips correspond to the Sun and Moon in their movement. The practice of this kriya will enable you to think right, act right, see right, look at yourself, imagine and meditate. Everything else follows. You will wipe out a lot of negativity.
Many things will happen in my absence which you need to survive through. Even if you are the dumbest of the dummies and nobody wants to buy you for 20 cents, if you can do this meditation correctly, you will come out with the best of yourself. Please participate with heart and mind, and see that you do it.” – Yogi Bhajan
