Om Chanting
To practice this one needs to sit in crossed legs posture or Vajrasana and take in as
much air as possible by opening the mouthwide. Then slowly let out the breath while chanting
A-u-m.
- ‘A’ is pronounced opening the mouth
- While ‘u-m’ is pronounced with the closed mouth to create a nasal sound.
Gazing at a point or an object
When doing nothing in particular a student can practice a simple exercise to keep the mind well focussed and relaxed. Take a fixed point or keep a board with a dot and gaze at it with eyes open. After five minutes close the eyes and visualize the point or any object that you fancy like -a flower or a bird in front of the closed eye or third eye.
Starting from five minutes it can be extended to ten minutes. He should visualize and rotate the bright light within. This exercise is a stepping-stone to both Yoga and Reiki Meditation.
Again this practice helps the student to absorb everything that he reads, retain and reproduce well in the exam. Basically, sitting quiet for a while gives peace and creates tranquility all around.
