Meditation using Navapasanam is rooted towards ancient spiritual traditions and healing properties. It’s believed to enhance the meditative experience, promoting physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Using Idol for Meditation
Navapasanam idols
Practitioners use Navapasanam idols of deities (especially Lord Subramanya or Karthikeya), beads as a focal point during meditation, which Guruji energizes through Vedic practices. Idols radiate divine energy, helping the practitioner connect with higher spiritual realms.
Sacred Objects
Navapasanam beads, Vel, or other sacred objects can also be used during meditation. Holding or placing them nearby helps channel the healing and spiritual energies.
Preparing for Meditation
Cleanse the Space
Before meditation, cleanse the area with incense or a lamp to create a sacred environment. You may also sprinkle holy water (Teertha) from the Navapasanam idol.
Set an Intention
Focus on a specific intention for your meditation, such as healing, spiritual growth, or mental wellness. This intention helps direct the energies of Navapasanam during your practice.
Meditation Techniques with Navapasanam
Focus on the Idol
Sit in front of the Navapasanam idol in a comfortable meditative posture. Look at the idol and concentrate with reverence, allowing its energy to fill your mind and body. Gradually close your eyes, visualizing the idol in your mind's eye as you meditate.
Holding Navapasanam
Beads/Vel: When using Vel or beads, hold them gently in your hands or place them on your body (as advised by Guruji) while meditating. Focus on the energy radiating from Vel or beads and feel it flow through your body.
Chanting
Chant the mantra as taught by Guruji. The mantra's vibration, combined with the energy of Navapasanam deepens the spiritual connection.
Breath Awareness
Focus on your breath while holding or being near the Navapasanam object. As you breathe in, visualize the healing energy of Navapasanam entering your body. As you breathe out, release any negative energies or blockages.
Absorbing the Energy
Visualize Healing and Spiritual Light
As you meditate, visualize a bright light emanating from the Navapasanam idol or object, filling your entire being with healing energy and spiritual radiance.
Feel the Connection
Allow yourself to feel a deep connection to the divine or the universal energy that Navapasanam is believed to represent. This connection can bring about feelings of peace, clarity, and oneness.
Concluding the Meditation
Gratitude
End the meditation by expressing gratitude to the Navapasanam object or deity for its presence and energy.
Offerings
You may also make a small offering, such as flowers or incense, as a sign of respect and devotion.
Post-Meditation Ritual
Drink Sacred Water
If you have access to Navapasanam Teertha (holy water), you can drink a small amount after the meditation. It is believed to help integrate the healing energies into your body and mind.
Reflect on the Experience
Take a few moments to reflect on your meditation experience. Journaling your thoughts and feelings can help solidify the insights gained during the practice.
