Meditation: TCH20 02 960722 - Increase the Power of the Infinite Within
TCH20 02 960722 Meditation to Open the Lock of the Heart Center, to Increase the Power of the Infinite Within Mudra: Sit in easy pose with a straight spine. Bring hands approximately 6-8 inches in front of your face, palms flat and facing one another, fingers pointing towards the ceiling, and with approximately a 6-8 inch space between the palms. Elbows are bent and are relaxed down
(a). Movement: With a very fast, powerful jerk, stretch the hands out (b) until there is about 36 inches between the hands (c), and abruptly stop them there. The stopping process will be so abrupt, done with such a powerful force, that you'll find the hands, chest, shoulders, and head jerking back and forth a little bit. This abrupt stopping, and the resulting jerk causes an "opening up your chest cavity with a 'current shock.' You should stretch out like eleven hundred volts have hit you."
Music: Tantric Har. Do not sing aloud. On every Har, you will stretch your arms with such a powerful force, just as if a eleven hundred volts have hit you. Concentrate on this reaction in your chest, and see the effects it has on you.
Eyes: Unspecified.
Time: 11 minutes.
End: Inhale. Hold the breath, but keep on doing the motion. Held 13 seconds. Exhale. Inhale again and continue the motion. Held 8 seconds. Exhale. Inhale deeply, continue. Held 6 seconds. Relax.
Comments/Effects: The chest cavity is called the heart Chakra. This heavy jolt, as you spring your hands and arms apart, will cause a jerking reaction to your chest cavity, which will open up your heart center. Opening of your heart center cavity is opening up to your own Infinity. This center is sometimes referred to as the agan granthi—the place from which all fire-related activites spring—food, digestion, breath, to name a few. When this center is locked, your ribcage is out of placement. Then the diaphragm doesn't act right, and you'll lose one third of your life force. This meditation loosens this lock and will open up the power of the Almighty within you. You must bring forth the entire power of your being, using a great force as you open up and then suddenly stop your arms, and thus shock your central nervous system (the shushmanaa) on the sound of Har. Through this meditation you can move the power of the ida and pingala, and open up the shushmanaa

MEDITATION TO HAVE A CLEAR SENSE OF YOURSELF AND TO BE ABLE TO MERGE WITHOUT LOSING YOURSELF.
Sit with a straight spine in a cross legged meditation position. Put your hands in front of your shoulders. Your palms are flat and horizontal the fingers spread and bent as if holding a flat and wide champagne glass on a stem. The mantra is Har Har Gur Gur. When you say Har the tip of your tongue touches the upper palate, when you say Gur you do not touch the upper palate and keep the tongue down. You pull the navel in powerfully each time you say Har or Gur. With each part of the mantra you rotate your hands. They start with the fingers backwards and the thumbs closest to the body, when finishing the rotation your fingers are in front and the thumbs furthest from the body. Eyes are almost closed and are looking at the tip of the nose and at the finger tips when you can see them from the corners of your eyes. Continue for 11 minutes. While you are meditating be aware of how you are feeling and what is happening in your body and psyche. Then inhale deeply, hold the breath and tighten your whole body, exhale. Repeat this sequence 2 more times.
