Relate to Your Own Essence

Originally taught on June 2, 1980

"This is a little initiation in which we can

relate very politely to our own essence and
we will do it only three times, so I hope you
will participate well. Just realize how much
this little thing which we have done for a
minute and a half can change you. Maya
will not go with you. Your spirit and soul
shall. Realize in the land of God, the hand
of God works." -Yogi Bhajan

Posture: Sit in Easy Pose with a straight spine.

Mudra: Place your hands in Gyan Mudra,

thumb tip touching the tip of the Jupiter
(index) nger, keeping the other ngers
perfectly straight. Cross your hands just above
the wrists (it doesn't matter which hand is on
top). Hold the mudra comfortably close to
your chest with the inside arm touching the
body.

Breath: Inhale deeply and exhale completely,

then rhythmically pump the navel to "eight points of Haree, three times." Pump the navel as you
mentally vibrate:

Haree, Haree, Haree, Haree, Haree, Haree, Haree, Har

Haree, Haree, Haree, Haree, Haree, Haree, Haree, Har
Haree, Haree, Haree, Haree, Haree, Haree, Haree, Har

In other words, with the breath held out, you pump the navel twenty-four times, once each time you
vibrate "Haree" or "Har" of the mantra. (This takes about 30 seconds.) Inhale and repeat this breath two
more times. This is to be practiced for three breaths only. It will take about a minute and a half.
