Find a comfortable posture, either lying down or sitting up, whatever you prefer. But be sure to keep your spine straight so that the energy can flow unhindered.
Close your eyes and follow the natural flow of your breath for a moment or two, as you calm down and settle into the stillness.
Take a deep breath, filling first the lower abdomen, then the upper abdomen and finally the chest.
As you breathe out, let the breath carry first the “ooooooo” sound for two thirds of the outbreath and then follow with the “mmmmmmm” sound.
So, as the air is expelled from first the chest and then the upper abdomen, you would be chanting “ooooooooo”.
And as the air is expelled from the lower abdomen you would then be chanting the "mmmmmmm" sound.
Pause, if you need to, so your breath is naturally flowing. Never force anything. Take whatever time you need between chanting the "oms”.
Then begin the process of the three part inbreath and the chanting of "ooooommmm" on the three part outbreath once again.
Try your best to be as rhythmically consistent as possible, so that neither the chant nor the breath is broken.
When you first start this practice, just do it for a few minutes out loud before you spend a few moments repeating the OM silently. Don’t do this exercise for too long in the beginning unless you are used to chanting mantras or have an instructor supporting you. Gradually build up the amount of time and never force anything.
Feel free to stay sitting in meditation listening to the OM inwardly as your breath continues to flow naturally.
Before you bring this meditation to a close, be sure to ground yourself. Stretch your limbs, take a deep breath, open your eyes and go about your day carrying within you this attunement with the Divine.
Dr Joshua David Stone was one of the most influential Spiritual teachers, leaders and forerunners of our time. He had a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology and was a licensed Marriage, Family and Child Counselor in California, USA.
He served as Official Spokesperson for the Planetary Ascension Movement and made his mark in the Consciousness Community as a prolific writer, authoring the 15-volume Easy to Read Encyclopedia of the Spiritual Path, published in several languages, as well as eight major Ascended Master Training Courses and several comprehensive Training Programs ranging from channeling, the psychology of astrology, the Book of Life of God, to his legendary 2,000 page Counseling Manual, and much, much more.
Today, the I AM University is the one and only Integrated Ascended Master Training Facility in this world. It stands firmly on the foundation of a comprehensive and ever-expanding curriculum which Dr Stone dedicated his life creating.
In 2005, Dr Joshua David Stone passed over to the Spirit world where he continues to Spiritually support the expansion of the I AM University the continuation of which he entrusted into the hands of Gloria Excelsias, his long-term personal assistant and protégé.
Dr Stone is one of the most widely read authors in the New Age Movement and known as the world’s most trusted source for integrated Spiritual development. http://www.iamuniversity.org
Gloria Excelsias is the President of the I AM University, an educational institution with focus on Spiritual and psychological development that was founded by the late Dr Joshua David Stone in 2004 and handed over to her care and leadership in 2005, at Dr Stone’s passing. As Dr Stone’s personal assistant, close friend and protégé, she received ongoing personal training in applied transpersonal psychology and integrated ascension which would prepare her consciousness for her later service work as the University’s President. Having moved the I AM University from California to Salzburg, Austria, her native country, she is now passionately dedicated to running and evolving the I AM University as an inspired writer and speaker, placing thematic priority on Spiritual psychology, the re-integration and updating of ancient occult teachings and the overall unfoldment of human consciousness.
