The Addiction Meditation: Transform Your Cravings in 3 Minutes

Step 1: Tuning In

Before starting Kundalini Yoga, tune in with a mantra.
Bring your palms together, thumbs at the heart center. Inhale deeply and chant, “Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo.”
Repeat this three times.
Take a deep inhale, hold the breath, press the palms together, roll your eyes up and in, and exhale.

Step 2: Positioning

Bring your fingers to the pads of your palms and extend your thumbs out.
Place the thumbs gently on your temples without pressing in.
Squeeze your back molars lightly.
You should feel a subtle movement under your thumbs, indicating the correct position.

Step 3: Vibrating the Mantra

Sit tall and close your eyes.
Roll your eyes up and in.
Breathe deeply through your nose.
As you squeeze your back molars, mentally vibrate the sound “Sa Ta Na Ma” with each squeeze.
Keep the vibration steady and rhythmic. Focus on the sound of your mental vibration.

Step 4: Holding the Breath and Engaging the Mula Bandha

For the last 30 seconds, maintain the rhythmic mental vibration of the mantra.
Inhale deeply, hold the breath, and sit up tall.
Engage the Mula Bandha by contracting the muscles of the rectum, sex organs, and lower abdomen simultaneously.
Imagine you’re stopping the flow of urination.
Roll your eyes up and in.
Exhale.

Step 5: Embracing the Duration

The three minutes may feel long, but this is part of the meditation’s power.
It deeply reprograms your subconscious mind.
Remember, everyone has three minutes to spare for profound transformation.
