Mandala Meditation

* Mandala Meditation *

This is another powerful, cathartic technique that creates a circle of
energy that results in a natural centering. There are four stages of 15 minutes each.

First Stage: 15 minutes
With open eyes run on the spot, starting slowly and gradually, getting faster and faster. Bring your knees up as high as possible. Breathing deeply and evenly will move the energy within. Forget the mind and forget the body. Keep going.

Second Stage: 15 minutes
Sit with your eyes closed and mouth open and loose. Gently rotate
your body from the waist, like a reed blowing in the wind. Feel the
wind blowing you from side to side, back and forth, around and
around. This will bring your awakened energies to the navel center.

Third Stage: 15 minutes
Lie on your back, open your eyes and, with the head still, rotate them in a clock-wise direction. Sweep them fully around in the sockets as if you are following the second hand of a vast clock, but as fast as possible. It is important that the mouth remains open and the jaw relaxed, with the breath soft and even. This will bring your centered energies to the third eye.

Fourth Stage: 15 minutes
Close your eyes and be still.
