First stage: 30 minutes music.
A continuous dance in a set of six movements. With your eyes
open, begin by standing in one place and placing the left hand on the heart and
the right hand on the hara. Stand still for a few moments just listening to the
music to get centered. When the bell rings, start the sequence as described
below. The movements always come from the center, or hara, using the music to
keep the correct rhythm. The hips and eyes face the direction of the hand
movement. Use graceful movements in a continuous flow. Loud "Shoo"
sounds are made from the throat in synchronicity with the sounds from the
recording. Repeat this six-movement sequence continuously for 30 minutes.
1) Touch the backs of the hands together pointing downward
on the hara. Breathing in through the nose, bring the hands up to the heart and
fill them with love. Breathing out make the sound "Shoo" from the
throat and send love out to the world. At the same time move the right arm
(with fingers extended, palm downward) and right foot straight forward, and
move the left hand back down to the hara. Return to the original position with
both hands on the hara.
2) Repeat this movement with the left arm and foot. Return
to the original position with both hands on the hara.
3) Repeat this movement with the right arm and foot, turning
sideways to the right. Return to the original position with both hands on the
hara.
4) Repeat this movement with the left arm and foot, turning
sideways to the left. Return to the original position with both hands on the
hara.
5) Repeat this movement with the right arm and foot, turning
directly behind from the right side. Return to the original position with both
hands on the hara.
6) Repeat this movement with the left arm and foot, turning
directly behind from the left side. Return to the original position with both
hands on the hara.
Second stage: 15 minutes music.
Begin by placing the right toe over the left toe. Fold your
arms across your chest and embrace yourself. Feel love for yourself. When the
music starts bow down to existence for bringing you here for this meditation.
When the tempo changes, begin whirling. Turn anticlockwise keeping the eyes
open a little, arms stretched out with the right palm turned upward and the
left palm facing the ground. Breathe normally and let the whirling take you
over. If you feel discomfort from whirling anticlockwise, you can change to
clockwise and reverse position of the hands. If a sensation of nausea arises,
focusing the eyes on the right hand can be helpful. To end the whirling, slow
down and fold the arms over the chest and heart.
Third stage: Silence, 15 minutes.
Lie down on the belly with your eyes closed. Leave your legs
open and not crossed to allow all the energy you have gathered to flow through
you. Just go inside and allow witnessing to happen.
