Five Step Meditation - Yogi Explains

Summary

, 18 min

A five-step meditative progression framed by preliminaries: a prayer to the higher self, Mahamudra stretching and Navi Kriya. The steps are HRV resonance, sitting very still, noticing the four proofs, OM Japa in the six chakras (the crown lotus not counted), and resting to learn to enjoy, the being phase that becomes samadhi.
