Instructions on How to Do the Sa Ta Na Ma Meditation – Kirtan Kriya

• Sit with a straight spine.
• Mentally focus to the brow point.
• Repeat Sa Ta Na Ma as follows with the finger movements pictured below
  • 2 minutes —  OUT LOUD
  • 2 minutes  —  WHISPER audibly
  • 4 minutes  —  SILENTLY.  Keep the hands moving
  • 2 minutes  —  WHISPER audibly
  • 2 minutes —  OUT LOUD
  • Sit quietly and listen inside for a few minutes.  Listen for the mantra internally and experience energy flowing in from the top of your head (crown chakra) and out through your brow (third eye chakra).
  • Either go about your day or go to sleep if it’s bed time.
  • Optional: 30 seconds: inhale deeply, raise the arms up in the air and vigorously shake the arms and fingers, involving the whole body and spine. Exhale.  Repeat 1 or 2 more time if you desire. This important part of the meditation helps move and release energy in the body.

Notes:

Why are mantras done out loud, whispering and silently and how does it help? When a mantra is spoken out loud, it primarily benefits the physical body.  When it’s whispered, it benefits our mental/emotional nature.  Our spiritual nature benefits from silent repetition.

If you experience memories of the past or thoughts about the future coming up in your mind. Simply notice them and release them with the mantra. This helps cleanse  the subconscious mind.

If emotions come up, you can also incorporate them in the chanting, i.e. if you feel frustration, then chant out the frustration.  Whatever you experience is okay. Don’t try to avoid, resist or control your experiences. Just notice what is happening and go through it. This is all part of the process.

SA – touch the thumbs to the index finger

Na – touch the thumbs to the ring finger

Repeat the finger movements throughout the meditation.
