Ancient Meditation Techniques - Breathing Control and Third Eye Visualization

to the body a comfortable position, so that if sleep comes upon you, your body cannot fall disturbing you. The position should be seated on a comfortable chair in the pharaonic style, arms slightly away from the body with hands resting on the knees with thumb and index finger in a circle shape, or position yourself in the oriental Essene position called "flower position" or Sumahperàh. Press the tongue against the palate with maximum force. Raise the chin slightly. Take several breaths–equirhythmic and rhythmic energetic control on the Chaldaic AUM, that is: $4:4:4:4$ = inhale pronouncing and mentally visualizing AUM – AUM – AUM – AUM; hold the breath for $4$ beats with AUM – AUM – AUM – AUM; exhale for $4$ beats AUM – AUM – AUM – AUM, then begin to inhale again for another $4$ beats AUM – AUM – AUM – AUM. The beginning of breathing–energetic control must start with empty lungs. If you don't feel able to keep the $4:4:4:4$ rhythm, then use the $2:2:2:2$ rhythm always with AUM. Eliminate all anxiety and extraneous thoughts. Close your eyes and focus attention on the skin of the entire body, relax and withdraw energy from each organ to transfer it to the frontal Center. Fix your will on the forehead. Remain there until you no longer hear anything from the surrounding world and no longer have the sensation of the body, identifying yourself with the frontal Center and therefore with the Self. The focalization in this case is done by directing the gaze upward between the two eyebrows at the root of the nose with the intention of seeing the third eye, the mirror of the frontal Center. The visualization begins with the recitation of the two phonemes (= mantram, logodynamo, word-force), first the JAH for $32$ times and then the AUM for $32$ times. If the concentration is perfect, eliminating every idea and distraction, the ascetic will soon see a most beautiful and brilliant light. If this appears, then let it be fixed for as long as possible. At first it may be obscured, but with persistence in concentration, leading a pure moral life, the light will become splendid.
