Resilience & Grace
Meditation: Kirtan Kriya
Show Notes

To strengthen the mind, you can practice a 12-minute Kirtan Kriya meditation. It is a meditation to help with memory and practiced by many.

1. Find a comfortable seat and bring your internal gaze to your third eye.
2. Place your hands in the Gyan Mudra, arms straight with backs of your hands resting on your knees.
3. Touch the tips of your thumbs to the tips of your index fingers gently and say saa (representing infinity, the cosmos, and beginning of time).
3. Touch the tips of your thumbs to the tips of your middle fingers and say taa (life and existence).
4. Touch the tips of your thumbs to the tips of your ring fingers and say naa (death, change and transformation);
5.  Finally touch the tips of our thumbs to the tips of your pinky fingers and say maa (rebirth).
