ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE
Sahasrara Dhyana is the simplest possible meditation technique!
It involves the effortless process of paying our gratitude to Existence for everything we have in life, and which we have taken for granted till now. Although the meditation is deceptively simple, it has profound effects on our conscious and subconscious minds. When we recognize that we are part of the total scheme of Existence, and that we are lovingly taken care of by Existence every minute, we are overcome with gratitude. We become truly thankful for what we receive every moment, even if it is as basic as the use of our very limbs and senses. Gratitude is your response to recognizing the abundance of Existence. It is a wonderful flowering energy within you.
If you are using the ASP tape, listen to the Sahasrara music. Else, play any soothing music which appeals to you.
Allow the music to flow through you, to enrich you. Let the music become part of you.
Experience it as if it arises from your own Being.
Now, think of whomever you want - God, your favorite saint or your chosen deity. The form is not important. But pay your gratitude to Existence for this gift of Life.
Life itself is a great gift from Existence.
Have we worked very hard to deserve this life? No!
So living itself is enough reason to be grateful.
When you give your thanks to Existence, remember all the people who have made your life what it is today.
Start with your parents - the people who gave you life. Pay your deepest gratitude to them. Ask their forgiveness for any wrong that you may have done them. In the same way, forgive them for any way in which they may have hurt you.
Forgive completely, feel only gratitude!
Now remember each person who has helped you in life - the doctors in the hospital where you were born, your teachers in school and college, your friends and relatives. Pay your gratitude to them all.
Think of the strangers who have helped you - the farmers who grow your food, the weavers who weave your clothes. Thank them all.
