Simple ways to meditate Part II
Read the first part of the article here: http://reachnaran.com/simple-ways-to-meditate-part-i/
How to acquire a good breathing pattern?
- When you meditate, place the index finger at the base of the thumb on both the hands. Breathing will get deeper and you could meditate properly, as shallow breathing spoils it.
- Don’t take the index finger straight away move your finger to the base of the thumb. First touch the tip of thumb with the index finger. Then after some time, move the index finger to the middle of the thumb, and finally the base of the thumb.
- Don’t do it mechanically. Feel the breath with a conscious awareness.
- Observing your breathing is also a good way to meditate. This is part of meditation known as Vipassana meditation.
Space Meditation
- After learning to breathe well, do the space meditation.
- Be aware of the space between the chair you are sitting and the wall. Don’t look at the wall. Instead look at the space between you and the wall.
- This is known as ‘Space Meditation’. Keep the eyes open throughout.

White chestnut helps to remove our thoughts, Chestnut bud not to have any distractions and Willow if you think one or the other bothers you.
Chant Mantra during Meditation
It’s nature of our mind to cling to something. You can choose a mantra to do that. After sometime you should be able to say goodbye to it. Mantra itself is not divinity. It means constantly thinking about a word, which is a mantra. Ultimately that also should go.
When it will go? We don’t know. May be, it’s not in this Janma.
Recreate the Life You Want
Naran
I am Helpless and Living In Hell! How can I create my world?
As long as I believe that I and My Mind are one and the same, and accepting whatever mind creates, my life is helpless and hell.
As long as I am not aware that I can RECREATE or REPROGRAM my life, I lose all the power.
Not knowing that I can reprogram my mind and life is ignorance.
Our mind is full of emotions, thoughts, and reactions. As long as they alone make up our mind, we don’t have any choice but to live our lives without any power.
Become POWERFUL
When there is awareness, when we come to know that we are not our mind, a new POWER surges in.
We will be able to RECREATE our own world to an extent with this little awareness. We can then become POWERFUL and take our lives into our own hands.
Releasing is a self-empowering tool, which changes our outlook about our lives.
What is this technique all about?
It is simply a process of letting go and releasing the emotions and thoughts as and when they arise.
How to implement it?
It is very simple. Whenever we tend to react, just say, “I let go this feeling”.
E.g., “Fear, can you please go? This is not the time for you. For the time being please go out. This is not your place either.”
See what happens. The mind becomes baffled and the emotion flees.
Do not react, but release and act
Reactions destroy our peace of mind. Once our uncontrollable emotions and thoughts are let off, we will find a peace deep inside us.
Releasing is a technique for allowing us to change on the spot.
Releasing allows us to handle any problem by releasing and letting go and thus stops the inner mental struggle.
Reactions intensify the mental struggle. Releasing gives us a new outlook. Reactions repeat the same drama.

Golden words are to be repeated
Leela
As guided by you in the past few weeks, I am calm and peaceful by myself. Now that the marriage is round the corner (of my niece – husband’s brother’s daughter), I need to attend.
All the past incidents of harassment, sarcastic remarks, aloofness etc. of my husband’s Anni is coming to my mind and I need enough strength to face it all this time.
I want to raise above all this silly behavior of others and come out successfully, to neutralize my karma.
Naran
Chant “CHOCOLATE CONCEDE TOGETHER DIVINE”.
Chant “I am sorry. Please forgive me”, as many times as possible.
Your anger and resentment – whether it is right or not – will upset your stomach, which in turn increases your insecurity.
Take the flower remedies AGRIMONY, WILLOW and CHERRY PLUM.

Since yesterday, I am practicing as advised by you. I do not understand, why, often I get this thought flashed in my mind that I need to move away from my husband?
I do not know if it is a natural process. It is a soul-searching experience for me. I need your divine help and guidance.
Naran
Soul searching is to happen within. It does not depend on outside person or event.

I attended the marriage and chanted the Switch Words as advised by you.
I am back to Bangalore.
I am trying to find the golden nugget … May be my spiritual awareness is not enough to find one.
As I have disclosed to you before, I have this urgent need to go back to work in UK. I have contacted my ex-colleagues, friends, and contacts and passed on my resume.
Initially, they were very encouraging, told me to help me out with a job.
But as days went by, there is no communication from them regarding my application status.
Also, I have applied many jobs. It is Apply, Apply, but no reply.
I am chanting “TOGETHER DIVINE FIND JOB COUNT NOW ORDER DONE” and also recently after reading one of your blogs regarding chakra cleansing, I have chanting Bija Mantras (OM LUM…)
In between, I am chanting forgive exercise to my husband too. Please advise, what can be chanted.
Naran
Move away with love in the heart and not in resentment
For job: chant “CRYSTAL GORSE WOLF REACH HELP JOB COUNT NOW DONE”
Leela
I am writing this mail, rather after a long time. I am following the chants and forgive exercise as advised by you.
There are lots of changes in me. I am able to forgive many things now.
Though, I still remember the events, which had caused me so much anger, hurt and other negative emotions.
After forgive exercise, these emotions have drastically reduced to an intensity of zero!
I am now able to appreciate the switch word “CHOCOLATE” as suggested by you.
The golden nugget in my case is to get re introduced to healing techniques through you.
Thank you very much for your Grace and support you have extended to me.
The top most emotional layer of healing has taken place. As a result, my relationship with my husband has improved.
As regards to finding a job, this is the next layer to be dealt with. I am chanting and many times writing the Switch words.
CRYSTAL has strengthened my intention of job seeking.
I am now more confident and beginning to understand what I want. My previous emotional state of confusion together with mixed feelings is no more. I am more calm and focused.
Our friend – WOLF is bringing me some leads for job searching and I am working on it.
