Instructions for Sahasrara Dhyana
Listen to this music.
Think of whoever you want, your favourite 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 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. Forgive them for any way in which they may have hurt you. Ask their forgiveness for all the wrong that you have done them.
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.
Even your enemies have played a role in your life, they have taught you something. Drop the anger. Drop the hatred. Forgive them and ask forgiveness. Do it with all your sincerity!
Have you thanked Existence for the beauties of nature? Have you thanked the sun for warming you every morning? Have you paid thanks for the water you drink?
How many things we have forgotten to pay our gratitude for! Now you can do it. Give each and every one your thanks.
When you pay your thanks to all of Existence, also remember the enlightened masters who made us aware of the joy of gratitude.
So the best way to thank them is – simply to be blissful! Pay your gratitude to the Sadguru, the master.
Listen to the music.
Allow this music to flow through you, to enrich you. If you feel like standing, swaying to the music, dancing – do it. If you prefer to sit still, do that. But let the music become part of you. Experience it as if it arises from your own Being. When the music stops, remain in silence for a while. After this meditation, we will have ananda bhava darshan, or Energy Darshan.
Let me explain this right away, because I don't want words to interrupt your flow after the Sahasrara Dhyana.
