Descending the Mantra, a potent meditation.

It is said that through descending the Gayatri Mantra (or any mantra) by the last step, each mantra is one billion times more potent than a normal recitation. Here are the steps to descending the mantra and to do it means step-by-step or otherwise you may develop headaches or upset stomach or sleeplessness.

Descending the Gayatri Mantra is not a chakra meditation, it is the following the path of spoken language. The Gayatri Mantra measured in increments of 9 is best.  Each recitation should be the same amount in number. Such as: each recitation 9 mantras, or 18, or 27, etc

The first descent: Before chanting the Gayatri Mantra focus all of your attention on the tip of the tongue. While chanting, keep your attention there, watching the words explode into expression by the tongue's articulation. It is said that by keeping the attention on the tip of the tongue, the potency of the Gayatri Mantra is 1000 times more than a normal recitation. 

Rest for a moment

The second recitation: Now focus all of your attention in the hollow of the throat. Here you can watch the words travel through the throat. The color here is blue and the image resembles a hollow bamboo, a flute, an empty space full of expression. When reciting the Gayatri Mantra with the attention focused on the hollow of the throat, it is said to be 1000 times more potent than the recitation on which your attention is on the tip of your tongue.

The third recitation is in the heart region. It is amazing that we do not realize that our words travel through our hearts, through the center of our being. Even our blood flow carries the vibration of our words. When you speak words that are in integrity with the wholeness of life, words which bring about uniting and genuine loving expression, the heart shines. When you speak words of ignorance and separation that are harmful, the heart withers like a flower dying prematurely (energetically speaking). The heart goes through so much pain when your words reflect ignorance.  And such peace when the language is loving. Here the color is green. Watch the words flow through the center of your being, with all of your attention in your heart. It is said that the Gayatri Mantra is 1000 times more potent recited with attention on the heart, than it is from a recitation at the throat region.

For the last recitation: Drop all of your attention into the solarplex region. This is located about three fingers above the navel. Here the color may be from white to yellow to golden to orange. This is the seat of intuition and is the place prior to language. From here the word is pushed up to the heart, formed in the hollow of the throat, and articulated and spent at the tip of the tongue. With all of your attention in the solarplex region, recite the last quarter of the Gayatri Mantra. Here it is said to be 1000 times more potent than a recitation from the heart space. Now each recitation has reached one billion potency.

End the recitation with at least 15 minutes of silence. The longer, the better. When you cease your meditation, be extra careful to keep the vibration undisturbed and savor the meditation a bit as you enter your day or evening.
