This meditation takes away your fears of the future which have been created by your subconscious memories of the past. lt will invite you to connect with your heart center.
Sit comfortably in easy pose.
Rest the back of the left hand in the palm of the right hand. The right thumb nestles in the palm of the left hand and the left thumb crosses it. The fingers of the right hand curve around the outside of the left hand and hold it gently.
Holding your hands in this way will give you a peaceful, secure feeling.
Put this mudra at your heart center with the palm side resting against your chest.
Meditate to your favorite version of “Dhan, Dhan, Ram Das Guru.”
You can find more info about the mantra in our mantra library.
I love this version of the mantra: Snatam Kaur – Dhan Dhan Ram Das Guru
The text of the mantra may seem a bit intriguing at first. I invite you to slowly build a relationship with the mantra.
You can start by humming along. Then you can look at the lyrics as you listen to the music. And maybe at some point you start to chant a few words. Eventually, you will feel comfortable enough to join in the chanting.
Dhan dhan raam daas gur, jin siri-aa tinai savaari-aa
Pooree hoee karaamaat aap sirajanhaarai dhaari-aa
Sikhee atai sangatee paarbrahm kar namasakaari-aa
Atal athaa-o atol too tayraa ant na paaraavaari-aa
Jinee too sayvi-aa bhaa-o kar say tudh paar utaari-aa
Lab lobh kaam krodh mo maar kadhay tudh saparvaari-aa
Dhan so tayraa thaan hai sach tayraa paisakaari-aa
Naanak too lehanaa toohai gur amar too veechaari-aa
Gur dithaa taa man saadhaari-aa
