Use a practice dedicated to a powerful Sanskrit mantra, following the sacred sound of "om shreem" into the silence behind thought. Sit peacefully and meditate on the mantra, allow it to flow into your inhalation and exhalation, focusing on the space in your heart where the mantra dissolves. Complete your meditation and breath with the balancing sound of the gong, walking away with the feeling of auspiciousness and positivity. Props Needed: A blanket. Props Suggested: A bolster or pillow to sit on.
