Monthly Sadhana

May 2017

We at Yogavani celebrate Buddha Purnima this month. 

On Buddha Purnima (Wednesday, May 10th) we take this day to invoke the Buddha, chant together, and introspect His teachings and wisdom. 

Please see our soundcloud page for samples of chants including 

Om Mane Padme Hum. 

1- Sit down comfortably. Keep the back uprights and head centered.

2- Close your eyes gently and begin to draw your awareness within. 

3- Experience the breath flowing in and out for a minute or two, inhale-exhale fully and deeply. 

4- Observe how the body feels, if and where any tension or discomfort is felt, and if so, gently begin to direct the breath to the particular area(s) to help dissolve blockages. Gradually lengthen the exhales to help release more and more deeply.

5- Now observe the Mind, the thoughts as they flow in and out and involve the breath in same manner here for mind process as was applied for the body process earlier. 

 6- Now begin to chant AUM three times. Begin with an Inhale for each AUM, then chant, while attuning to the emanating, reverberating sound vibrations.

7- Repeat silently personal mantra or Guru Mantra 

 8-Chant Om Mane Padme Hum
