Instructions for MeditationYou may choose to enhance the effects of this music by meditating in the postures shown. First, make sure that you have a peaceful place where you won’t be interrupted. Sit on the floor with the legs crossed and spine straight keeping the body relaxed. You may choose to sit on a pillow or, alternatively, in a chair with the weight of both feet equally distributed on the ground. Keep the neck straight and the chin level with the floor. It is important not to curve the neck back. Keep your whole body, includ-ing the face, relaxed while sitting in the posture. Follow the instructions included for each specific mantra.

For all meditations: Breath deeply through the nose. Continue for 3 to 62 minutes. When finished, inhale deeply. Hold briefly. Exhale and relax. You may also choose to sing along with the music.

The legacy of Mantra and Mudra and the sacred science of the sound current was shared and codified by Yogi Bhajan, Master of Kundalini Yoga, and PHD in the psychology of communication. Each of these musical meditations opens an inner gateway to your spirit. They reach beyond limi-tations to tap the sacred power of the Word. The use of special hand and eye positions with the mantra is called “mudra”. Each mudra is a “seal”. It enhances, speeds and assures the impact of the mantra.

The beautiful songs in this album provide the rare opportunity to hear Yogi Bhajan’s profound and graceful English interpretations of sacred Gurumukhi mantras. In 1998, Yogi Bhajan personally requested that these specific man-tras be put to music and recorded. In the process of creating the music, he provided poetic English translations that capture the essence of the mantra as well as specific mudras to heighten their effect. This collection of mantras reminds us of our grace and sacredness allowing us to move through life with greater ease, assurance and peace.
