Core Practice
How to meditate
-
The next step is to think or imagine that your Guru, the spiritual teacher, is sitting before you. It need not be your Guru, if you do not have a Guru; think of whomever you believe in and have faith in, as your God, be it Jesus, Mohammed, Krishna, Ram, Nanak, or a supernatural power.
-
Rays of light are emitting from Guru (divine power) and entering your body directly through your heart. Forget about everything else and concentrate only on the above-mentioned light, and that it’s spreading inside your whole body, and that you are getting immersed in that light.
-
Continue this concentration until your mind goes astray. Try to bring your mind back to observing the light. Repeat the same process every time your mind goes wandering
-
We do this for about 15 - 20 minutes
Prayer
