Part I: Connecting with the Infinite Mother

Posture & Mudra: Sit in Easy Pose (Sukhasana) with your spine straight. Bring your hands in Gyan Mudra.

Eyes/Drishti: Close your eyes.

Mindful Attention: Meditate on the endless, ever-expanding spiral of energy emanating from the Divine Mother, the primal womb, a source without beginning or end that goes to Infinity.

Duration: Continue for 11, 31, or 62 minutes, depending on your preference and experience level.

Part II: Beaming Light

Posture & Mudra: Remain in Easy Pose (Sukhasana). Cup your hands in front of your face with palms facing each other and separate them about 4-6 inches. Imagine cupping a radiant light within your hands.

Movement & Breath: Long Deep Breathing. As you visualize, take slow, deep breaths, allowing the calming rhythm to further connect you to the Divine Mother’s energy.

Eyes/Drishti: Closed.

Mindful Attention: Beam light out from between your hands. Project your inner light outward, visualizing it merging with the infinite light you focused on in Part I. Use your mental eyes to see this beam of light extend endlessly.

Duration: Continue for 11, 31, or 62 minutes, depending on your preference and experience level.

Part III: Deepening the Connection

Posture & Mudra: Remain in the same posture as  part II.

Breath & Mantra: Chant the mantra “SA TA NA MA” silently. This mantra represents the Divine Mother’s nurturing essence. Allow your breaths to become longer and deeper as you progress.

Mindful Attention: As you mentally chant, deepen your meditation. Imagine your mind following the beam of light you created, merging with the vast, infinite light of the Divine Mother.

Duration: Continue for 11, 31, or 62 minutes pending on your preference and experience level.

Part IV: Embracing the Kundalini Energy

Posture & Mudra: Hold your posture, mudra, and concentration steady.

Mantra: Chant the Kundalini Bhakti Mantra: 

“ADI SHAKTI, ADI SHAKTI, ADI SHAKTI, NAMO, NAMO,

SARAB SHAKTI, SARAB SHAKTI, SARAB SHAKTI, NAMO, NAMO

PRITHAM BHAGVATI, PRITHAM BHAGVATI, PRITHAM BHAGVATI, NAMO, NAMO

KUNDALINI MATA SHAKTI, MATA SHAKTI, NAMO, NAMO.” 

This mantra honors the primal creative force of the Divine Mother, Kundalini Shakti.

Duration: Continue for 11, 31, or 62 minutes, depending on your preference and experience level.
