Nadabrahma Meditation
Yesterday, I went to Nadabrahma Meditation. It was great. For all of you who have participated in the beginner's Tantra & Bliss course, this is the meditation we do when we start continuously humming loud enough for others to hear with our eyes closed. It happens very early in the course when we do the frist breath medley after "finding the empty space" and mirror dancing.
Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this one had a little more to it. We hummed for 30 minutes. It was amazing to be in this huge space amidst many others humming away. Then the next stage is two parts. For ten minutes you move your hands palms up in a circular motion going out from you like giving as slowly as possible. Then for the next ten minutes, you move the hands palms facing down in a circular motion towards you like receiving in as slowly as possible.
While I have done this part of the exercise before (I actually did it partnered with Michael Sussman at a Bliss course in Philly), this was different because it was just me and the air. And I found it very difficult to make the hands gestures as slowly as possible. But by the end of the exercise I had accomplished SLOW.
And I felt so great! I was so "blissed out" when I left the auditorium, I did not even see a friend who was waving to me and walking right in my path.
If you are interested in this meditation, all you have to do is hum. And if you happen to have Dr. Judy's book, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Tantric Sex, go to the part about Carla Tarantola. There are photos of what she calls "partner yoga" there. In a few of them, you can see the hand movements I am talking about although here she is also showing how to do it with a partner (like I did with Michael). It is completely a different experiecne to do it by yourself and really move slowly.
Don't worry, we'll be doing more of this too when I get home.
Love,
Laurie
