Duration: 10 minutes

Close your eyes and just sit.

First, choose the word or words with which you are going to work.

If you have a spiritual name (given by your master), that is best, or choose the god or the master with whom you feel deeply connected.

If you have a Sanskrit spiritual name, this technique can be really powerful. Understand, Sanskrit is not just a language of communication, its phonetics also have a vibrational value. This means that the actual sounds of the words have a purifying effect on both the speaker and the listener. Your name is your unique mantra or chant. Chanting or just listening to the mantras revealed by enlightened masters will simply create the effect in you of what the mantra stands for, what your name stands for.

Enter into the sound of the chosen name.

Understand: do not repeat it out loud, just repeat it internally. The chanting should happen internally and you should just enter into that vibration. Your tongue should not move.

Create the sound of the name like a vibration, and keep repeating that sound, that name, internally. Be filled with that sound. Let your whole inner space be filled with that sound.

Repeat the sound intensely and at a high frequency. No other thought should rise in your mind.

You will see, suddenly you are in soundless space. You are in wordlessness.

Just play with this technique for one month, practice it every morning for ten minutes and again, in the evening for ten minutes. Even while you are driving, this can be done with open eyes. Try it while you are driving, walking, or sitting and spending a few minutes with yourself.

You will understand the power of this special mantra for you, just this one sound. Suddenly you will see new doors opening in your consciousness, and you will enter into the soundlessness that we call enlightenment.
