MEDITATION OF THE MONTH:
Venus Kriya “Heart Lotus”
A partner meditation. To start, sit down opposite your partner, hands in prayer pose and tune in with “Ong Namo, Guru Dev Namo” three times. Then chant “Aad Guray Nameh, Jugaad Guray Nameh, Sat Guray Name, Siri Guru Devay Nameh” three times. With your hands still together in prayer pose, look into each other’s eyes and bow your head in recognition of the God-consciousness within your partner.

Sitting in easy pose or lotus pose across from your partner, look into his or her eyes. Form your hands into a lotus: all the fingers are spread with the hands cupped. Then the man puts his little fingers under the woman’s little fingers. These are the only fingers that touch. This makes a heart lotus. Look into the soul, the heart of your partner, through the eyes. Continue for 1 ½ minutes.

Now place one hand over the other at your heart center. Close your eyes and meditate on your heart. Go deep within to the center of your being. Continue for 1 ½ minutes. When the time is up, inhale deeply and exhale deeply 3 times, then relax.

On completion, stretch up, twist from side to side, again bring your hands together, look into the eyes of your partner and say, “Thank you. Sat Nam.” Bow deeply to your partner.
