We held a Meditation and Sat Nam Rasayan® Healing Workshop with Hari Nam Singh at the Healing Heart Center in Hollywood. The topic of the workshop was The Art of Knowing.
1. Sit comfortably in easy pose. 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. Meditate to your favorite version of “Dhan, Dhan, Ram Das Gur. “Start with 11 minutes and slowly and gradually work up to 31 minutes of practice time.
To finish: inhale deeply and relax. This meditation takes away your fears of the future which have been created by your subconscious memories of the past. It will force you to deal with your heart center.
The beauty in you is your spirit. The strength in you is your endurance. The intelligence in you is your vastness. y.b.
The crossed thumbs help neutralize your mind’s frantic calculation to avoid fear and pain. It is the calculations themselves that produce anxiety and get you out of touch with the resources of your intuition and heart.
Raise the arms with the elbows bent until the hands meet at the level of the chest. The forearms form a straight line parallel to the floor.
The palms face each other and the tips of the thumbs press against the mounds at the base of the mercury finger (pinky). The fingers point up and are extended and joined. Press the fingers of opposite hands together from the fingertips to the first knuckle. The thumb knuckles also press together. Press hard.
The knuckles will hurt, but it will give you a kind of joy and satisfaction.
Sit with the legs crossed or in a chair with the weight of both feet equally distributed on the ground.
Breath:
Inhale in eight equal sniffs, exhale completely through the mouth.
Close the eyes nine-tenths, and look at the tip of the nose.
When exhaling through the mouth, gently purse the lips almost as in a whistle.
Mantra:
There is no mantra for this meditation.
In a class, the leader of the meditation can chant ONG ONG ONG ONG ONG ONG ONG ONG on the eight-stroke inhale.
Practice this kriya for 11 minutes only.
Comments:
If all you understand is dollars, this is a million-dollar therapy. If the earth element in you is strong, and is not balanced out by the ether, you’ll be stuck here. You don’t belong to this earth anyway. You’ve got to go and you’ve got to know where to go and what to do. My idea about going is going with grace. It requires a little bit of work, a little bit of sacrifice, and a little bit of understanding that I AM, I am, my mind is my mind.
Relax the arms down with the elbows bent. Raise the forearms up and in toward each other until the hands meet in front of the heart center. Interlace all the fingers and the thumbs and lock them tightly together.
1. Place the hands behind the body, lean back 30° drop your head back. Open your mouth and with his mouth open, inhale and exhale long and deep from the mouth. 4 min.2. Now do breath of fire through the mouth. 2 min.
3. Sitting in Easy Pose, meditate, and meditate on your limits. Find how to let go of your limitations. Letting go is the problem. You have to learn to do it otherwise you will never get to your destination “infinity.”
Listen to Har Nar Waheguru by Nirinjan Kaur. 34 min.
The eyes are nine-tenths closed. Inhale in four powerful strokes through the ‘O’ mouth (I stroke per second = 4 second inhale) and exhale in one powerful stroke through the nose (I second). Continue for 16 minutes.
To end, sit straight, inhale, hold your breath 20 seconds. and stretch your arms out to your sides. Palms facing upward. That will give you power to balance your central spinal column. Exhale. Inhale deep, hold your breath 20 seconds, and stretch your arms horizon-tally and stretch your spine vertically. Make a T-square. Exhale. Inhale deep, hold your breath 20 seconds, and open up your fingers, making them like steel. Squeeze your entire energy and bring it into your arms. Exhale and relax.

Lose your handicaps. Lose all points of identification (ego).

There is law of sorrow and law of tomorrow. Those of today who don’t face their tomorrow will have nothing but sorrow. You are not born to suffer. Happiness is your birthright. Soul is inside you. You can’t search it through books. What should you do? Just sometimes sit down and tangle.
Hari Nam Singh is offering private healing at the Healing Heart Center at the special rate of $100 for appointments booked through the end of December. $80 for remote sessions, wherever you are in the world.
You may also request a remote healing by donation.
A STREAM, from its source in far-off mountains, passing through every kind and description of countryside, at last reached the sands of the desert. Just as it had crossed every other barrier, the stream tried to cross this one, but found that as fast as it ran into the sand, its waters disappeared.
It was convinced, however, that its destiny was to cross this desert. and yet there was no way.Now a hidden voice, coming from the desert itself, whispered: “The Wind crosses the desert, and so can the stream.”
The stream objected that it was dashing itself against the sand, and only getting absorbed: that the wind could fly, and this was why it could cross a desert.
“By hurtling in your won accustomed way you cannot get across. You will either disappear or become a marsh. You must allow this wind to carry you over to your destination.”
But how could this happen?”By allowing yourself to be absorbed in the wind.”
This idea was not acceptable to the stream, After all, it had never been absorbed before. It did not want to lose its individuality. And, once having lost it, how was on to know that it could ever be regained?
“The wind”, said the sand, “Performs this function. It takes up water, caries it over the desert, and then lets it fall agin. Falling as rain, the water again becomes a river.”
“How can I know that this is true?”
“It is so, and if you don’t believe it, you cannot become more than a quagmire, and even that could take many, many year; and it certainly is not the same as a stream.”
“But can I not remain the same stream that I am today?”
“You cannot in either case remain so,” the whisper said. “Your essential part is carried away and forms a stream again. You are called what you are even today because you do not know which part of you is the essential one.”
When he heard this, certain echoes began to arise in the thoughts of the stream. Dimly, he remembered a state in which he – or some part of him, was it? – had been held in the arms of a wind. He also remembered – or did he? – that this was the real thing; not necessarily the obvious thing, to do.
And the stream raised his vapour into the welcoming arms of the wind, which gently and easily bore it upwards and along, letting it fall softly as soon as they reached the roof of a mountain, many, many miles away. And because he had his doubts, the stream was able to remember and record more strongly in his mind the details of the experience. He reflected “Yes, now I have learned my true identity.”
The stream was learning. But the sands whispered: “We know. because we see it happen day after day: and because we, the sands, extend from the riverside all the way to the mountain.”
And that is why it is said that the way in which the Stream of Life is to continue on its journey is written in the Sands.

We held a Meditation and Sat Nam Rasayan® Healing Workshop with Hari Nam Singh at the Healing Heart Center in Hollywood. The topic of the workshop was Healing in a Non-Dualistic Space.
Workshop Audio:
In our conventional awareness our direct perception is contaminated with countless references to forms that are external to our experience in the moment. We compare our experience with those references causing us to separate from the experience and dilute reality. We tend to make the assumption that the reference is the reality.
Through meditation we produced a state of trance and centered our awareness beyond the confines of time and space. In the healing exercises we stabilized the aspect of enlightenment observing the relation and healing from this vantage.
