Eternal OM Meditation

Sit down, breathe deeply, and stay focused on your center. Think about this, you are in your spot. You are a small atom of a larger cell, feel yourself becoming a cell, and many cells and many pulsing life functions. Feel them all come together and you are the whole of it. Listen to the sound you make, be aware of the energies around you and your place. Slowly go up and farther, keep going farther up into the sky, feel the wind, and farther up into the higher atmosphere until the land is gone and the sky begins to mingle with outer space. You are between earth and space, keep going up farther until you begin to see the whole earth emerge from behind you, you see the continents gradually give way to a more expanded view that includes islands, oceans and seas. Be aware of the energies of every living thing currently below you, every little weed, every fish and sea creature at the bottom of the sea, every human and animal and everything that has life. Be aware of every distinct sound from the darkest sea chasm to the highest reach of habitable sky. Feel it all as it spreads out below you as you rise. Be aware of every sound. Listen for it, as every sound joins into a greater chorus, as you reach a point, in quiet space, just above the earth where the whole planet is visible in front of you. Acknowledge every living thing that is present on the earth. Now, sit in silence for about 30 seconds, center your energy, and listen to the combined sound of all life on the planet. Listen to the melody of the synchronized single note that it makes. It is the single voice of the planet, the collective harmony of all that has rhythm. There are billions of singers in a great choir that has been nonstop since life began in the planet. Every second it becomes a new choir as organisms wilt and bloom or dissolve or hatch or are born or take their final breath. From this ever moving diversity, you come and you are a part. Listen to the unclouded voice of life that this expanded perspective brings you. It is the OM.

It is the great spirit of life.

What a beautiful thought it is to think about what lies in space outside of our planet and its song. How many songs are there on other worlds? In the universe, how many songs vibrate through space? The universe is alive with sensation, feeling and sound. The song of the earth is absorbed into space, liberated from all constraint except the flow of eternity stretching outward into the cosmos. It keeps going and going until it all meets in a great harmonic energy. This is the sound of the universe.

OM

To the great cosmic sun—energize us, keep us strong, let us feel you
