Sri Ramakrishna On Aum

... Start feeling waves and waves of AUM engulfing the whole body establishing the 3D awareness. Now allow the descending part of the wave of AUM to descend slowly. Feel the trough of silence at the end of each wave of AUM helps to go deeper and deeper...

Now, allow the ascending part of the wave also to expand, before it starts descending slowly to Silence. More and more of Silence as you progress. 

A feeling of expanse is associated with a feeling of well-being, lightness and bliss. Greater the expansiveness, greater the bliss. Dhyana culminates in Samadhi or Superconsciousness - a jump into higher levels of consciousness. To a more subtle, expansive level of consciousness. That is the progress.

Experiencing silence in-between two japa waves helps in expanding from 3D awareness of body to all pervasive awareness. The vision of a beautiful blue sky or a vast expansive ocean can be recalled to further expand. Expansion is the key to break open stagnation, drowsiness and sleep.

...

The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an OCEAN of Silence with waves on it - merge into complete silence - Ajapa. 

Total duration: 30 mts.

After regularly  performing the AUM Dhyana for half an hour in the beginning and then longer, the meditator should spread out this feeling of lightness, silence and bliss throughout the day by recalling and repeating AUM several times.

Let us all continue meditation, grow deep, spread this message of our ancient Seers throughout India, and all over the world in order to bring about peace, harmony, love and a holistic way of living.
