The Second Body

This is your negative mind, also known as your discerning mind.

The archetype is the Diplomat and the traits are loyalty, cooperation, diplomacy and the perception that everyone is equal.

The negative mind assesses any situation for danger. Therefore, it is your intuition, where and how you know to trust. 1 + 1 is 2; two is relationship, harmony,  connection and a longing to belong. It is also duality and polarity.

“Relationship”

Try this 3 minute meditation for the 2nd Body

Practice this regularly to build intuition and discernment. Intuition is the human’s best defense system!

Set a timer for 3 minutes.

Sit with a straight spine, with your hands either in pranam mudra (prayer position) at the centre of the chest or gyan mudra (The Great Wisdom mudra - 1st finger tip & thumb tip touch and the other 3 fingers are straight and touching each other) with the back of the hands resting on the knees.

Eyes are closed gazing at the brow (3rd eye point).

Silently, mentally, on the inhale say ‘Sat’; silently on the exhale say ‘Nam’ (in English, Sat Nam means, my name, my identity is Truth). Continue silently, mentally saying ‘Sat Nam’ with every inhale and exhale.

Hold your gaze steady at your 3rd eye point. Concentrate - don’t hallucinate! 

To end: Inhale deeply, hold the breath. Exhale and relax.
