Even if you have been regular with Gurudev’s guided meditations, here is a chance for you to experience them again.

1. Satyam or Truth

Satyam means truth. Gurudev defines it as that which is not changing. In this ever-changing world, only the higher Self is changeless. A taste of this permanent aspect of our being helps us stay centered amidst changing emotions, thoughts, and situations. 

With this guided meditation, meditate on the Truth and experience it in its fullness.

 

2. Meditation for anxiety relief

Be it staying away from your family or the increasing COVID-19 cases, anxiety has become common in our lives during the lockdown. Here is a short guided meditation that will instantly reduce your anxiety levels.

 

3. Shivam

Shiva is the vast consciousness pervading the universe. Beyond the perception of our limited senses, Shiva seems hidden but is not. The presence of this all-pervading energy is obvious, only if you pay attention.  Gurudev says Shiva is in each one of us. However, it is not easy to experience Shiva because of our mind’s constant chatter. Meditate on Shiva with this short guided meditation and discover the presence within.

4. Forget time with this meditation

The only time we forget time is when we are asleep. But how about forgetting time while we are alert and conscious too? Here is a short guided meditation to your aid.

Chakras are centers for nadis (channels of energy) in our bodies. There are 109 chakras in our body, of which seven are very important. Attending to your chakras can bring deep experiences in your meditation. Do this guided meditation to fully experience the power of chakras.

 

7. Powerful mudra meditation

Mudras are simple hand gestures that can heal and help in specific body functions like sleep and digestion. Here is a guided meditation that uses a basic hand mudra to bring you into meditation.
