CALIBRATE YOUR ENERGY BY MEDITATING

                                                    

                                                               MEDITATION

                 I MEDITATE DAILY TO ENHANCE MY CONNECTION TO THE UNIVERSE AND FINE-TUNE MY ENERGY. IN MEDITATION, WE ACTIVATE SYNCHRONISTIC SUPPORT AND CONNECTION TO THE UNIVERSE. MEDITATION STRIPS AWAY DOUBT, LIMITATION, AND FEAR TO RECONNECT US WITH THE FLOW OF LOVE. WHILE SITTING IN THE DEEP STILLNESS OF MEDITATION, I NOTICE MY ENERGY SHIFT AS IT REORGANIZES WITH THE ENERGY OF THE UNIVERSE. CALIBRATING YOUR ENERGY IN THIS WAY LIKE A MUSICIAN TURNING AN INSTRUMENT. ONCE WE'RE TUNED-IN AND CONNECTED, WE BECOME AWARE OF THE SYNCHRONICITY AND SUPPORT THAT ARE AROUND US.

               ONCE, BEFORE I GAVE A TALK IN TORONTO, I SAT IN A 15-MINUTE MEDITATION TO PREPARE. IN THIS STILLNESS I FELT MY LIMBS TINGLE AND MY ENERGY SHIFT. THEN I STARTED TO RECEIVE A VISION OF MYSELF ON THE STAGE IN FRONT OF THE LARGE AUDIENCE. I SAW MY SMALL PHYSICAL FRAME WITH MASSIVE ANGEL WINGS EXTENDING FROM MY SHOULDERS. THESE WINGS WERE NEARLY 50 FEET IN LENGTH, AND THEY DOMINATED THE ENTIRE STAGE. THE IMAGE BROUGHT ME TO TEARS. SHORTLY AFTER MY MEDITATION, I STEPTED INTO THE STAGE, AND MY WINGS CAME WITH ME. THE WAY I FELT ONSTAGE WAS THE SAME FEELING I CONNECTED TO IN MY MEDITATION. I HAD A MAGICAL EXPERIENCE WITH THIS AUDIENCE. I SHOWED UP WITH MY PRESENCE AND HELPED AWAKEN THEM TO THEIR OWN. AFTERWARD, DURING THE CHAPTER SIGNING, A WOMAN CAME UP TO ME AND SAID, "GABBY, YOUR TALK WAS INCREDIBLY MOVING. I FELT AS THOUGH YOU HAD ANGEL WINGS SPREADING ACROSS THE STAGE". I SMILED AND SAID, "I DID". 

                   THE IMAGES WE RECEIVE IN MEDITATION CAN GUIDE US TO REMEMBER THE MAGNIFICENCE OF OUR TRUE SELVES. USE YOUR MEDITATION PRACTICE TO TUNE IN TO YOUR PRESENCE AND BRING FORTH YOUR GREATEST SOURCE OF POWER. YOU CAN ALSO LISTEN TO THE AUDIO MEDITATION AT GABBYBERNSTEIN.COM/UNIVERSE.

                  FOR SEVERAL YEARS I'VE BEEN A STUDENT A TEACHER OF KUNDALINI MEDITATION. KUNDALINI MEDITATIONS ARE VERY POWERFUL IN THAT THEY LOCK YOU INTO THE ENERGY OF THE UNIVERSE FAST. THERE IS A SIMPLE AND YET PROFOUND MEDITATION CALLED KIRTAN KRIYA THAT HAS THE CAPACITY TO REDIRECT YOUR FOCUS OFF FEAR AND DOUBT SO THAT YOU CAN FEEL DEEPLY CONNECTED TO LOVE.

               KIRTAN MEANS "SONG" IN SANSKRIT, AND KRIYA IS A SPECIFIC SET OF MOVEMENTS. A KRIYAS SET IS DESIGNED TO BRING THE BODY, MIND, AND EMOTIONS INTO BALANCE TO ELEVATE YOUR PRESENCE AND ENABLE HEALING.

             KIRTAN KRIYA COMBINES A MANTRA AND HAND GESTURES (MUDRAS) TO UPLIFE YOU AND DEEPLY CONNECT YOU TO THE DIVINE ENERGY OF THE UNIVERSE. WHILE PRACTICING KIRTAN KRIYA, YOU'LL CHANT THE MANTRA SAT NAM, WHICH MEANS TRUTH IDENTIFIED, OR TRUTH IS YOUR NAME.

                THE MUDRAS, OR FINGER POSITIONS, ARE IMPORTANT IN THIS KRIYA .

               HERE'S HOW YOU PRACTICE THE KIRTAN KRIYA:

              SIT COMFORTABLY IN A CHAIR OR CROSS-LEGGED ON THE FLOOR.

             ROLL YOUR SHOULDERS BACK AND STRAIGHTEN YOUR NECK. GET YOUR BODY INTO A STRAIGHT ALLIGNMENT TO BECOME A VESSEL TO RECEIVE THE LOVE OF THE UNIVERSE.

              REPEAT THE MANTRA SAA TAA NAA MAA AS YOU TAP YOUR THUMB ON YOUR POINTER, MIDDLE, RING, AND LITTLE FINGERS. WHILE YOU CHANT THE MANTRA, IMAGINE THE SOUND FLOWING IN THROUGH THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD AND OUT THE MIDDLE OF YOUR FOREHEAD (YOUR THIRD EYE POINT)

                FOR TWO MINUTES, SING IN YOUR NORMAL VOICE.

                FOR THE NEXT TWO MINUTES, SING IN A WHISPER.

 

                 FOR THE NEXT FOUR MINUTES, SAY THE SAOUND SILENTLY TO YOURSELF.

                THEN REVERSE THE ORDER, WHISPERING FOR TWO MINUTES, AND THEN OUR LOUD FOR TWO MINUTES, FOR A TOTAL OF 12 MINUTES.

                 TO END THE MEDITATION, INHALE VERY DEEPLY, STRETCH YOUR HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD, AND THEN BRING THEM DOWN SLOWLY, SWEEPING OUT TO THE SIDE.

            PRACTICE THIS KRIYA FOR 12 MINUTES (OR LESS) . I RECOMMEND THAT YOU CHANT ALONG TO THE MUSIC FOUND AT GABBYBERNSTEIN.COM/UNIVERSE.

             PRACTICING KIRTAN KRIYA FOR 12 MINUTES A DAY HAS BEEN SHOWN TO REDUCE STRESS LEVELS AND INCREASE ACTIVITY IN AREAS OF THE BRAIN THAT SUPPORT MEMORY. USE THIS MEDITATION PRACTICE TO SLOW DOWN AND TUNE IN.

           

                                            SET EMPOWERING INTENTIONS

               THE INTENTION TO BE IN YOUR PRESENCE IS ENOUGH TO REALIGN YOU TO LOVE. SETTING AN INTENTION CAN BE AS BASIC AS STATING TO YOURSELF (SILENTLY OR OUT LOUD) THAT YOU'RE READY TO RECONNECT TO YOUR PRESENCE. THIS STATEMENT SENDS A MESSAGE TO THE UNIVERSE THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO RELEASE FEAR AND ALIGN YOUR THOUGHTS AND ENERGY WITH LOVE. WHENEVER YOU NOTICE YOURSELF OUT OF ALIGNMENT, SET THE INTENTION TO COME BACK HOME. YOUR INTENTIONS ARE FAR MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.

                 THINK ABOUT THE INTENTIONS YOU ST THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY. ARE YOU INTENDING TO GET THINGS DONE QUICKLY? TO ACHIEVE AND ACCOMPLISH? TO AVOID NEGATIVE OUTCOME? TO JUST GET THROUGH THE DAY? WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF INSTEAD YOU INTENDED TO FEEL GOOD?
