Mahabhuta Meditation

Now we're gonna do mahabhuta dharana concentration practice where you try to observe the physical elements in your own body. So let's start, sit down first. Try to find a sitting posture where you can keep spine upright and relatively, with a relatively small effort. So that weight is about the center of your buttock bones. And then press the the center of the buttock bones down.

Try the length and line from your buttock bones to the lower sternum, (speaking in a foreign language). And from the lower sternum try to lengthen the line to the back ends of the skull, which is the bindu. And then use a couple of moments to observe your breathing. Breathing carries the consciousness. And try to feel the breathing.

The first part of this practice is bhu dharana. So bhu means earth. And try to experience the solid structures of your body. Earth element. So feel the bones.

Feel your bone structure. Feel the muscles. Feel the skin. Next one is jala dharana. Water element.

Try to feel the liquids of the physical body. Like the blood, et cetera. Feel the heaviness of the liquids. The physical form. Then, next one is agni.

Fire element. So feel the heat of your body. If you can feel the digestion. The radiant energy of your body. And then vayu.

Wind element. Feel the gases and bodily airs. Vayus Then akosh. Ether, space. Physical form is taking certain amounts of space.

Trying to feel that and experience that space. Then mahabhuta. Collect all these layers. Each one you need. So earth, bhu.

Physical elements. Jala, water. Liquids. Agni Fire element. The heat.

Vayu Air element, the gases. Then akosh. Space, everything is resting on space. Try to feel all these, experience all these, elements, the one you need. Then OM mantra three times.

OM. OM. OM. And two times in your mind. Manas pranava. Thank you.
