Parma han seokjun and I said learn to be
very active in this world doing
constructive work but when you are
through with your duties
turn off your nervous motor retire to
the center of your being which is
calmness mentally affirm to yourself I
am calm I am NOT a mere nervous
mechanism I am spirit though I dwell in
this body I am untouched by it if you
have a calm nervous system you will have
success in everything you undertake and
above all you will succeed with God
[Music]
as we begin our meditation it is
important to sit in the correct
meditation posture the spine should be
held straight the chin parallel to the
floor
close your eyes gently lift your gaze
upward without straining to the point
between the eyebrows the seed of
concentration and of the spiritual eye
or divine perception mentally command
the body to be still and relaxed
consciously feel the body relaxing leave
aside all thoughts of the world let go
of all cares and concerns feel the peace
within
let us begin with an affirmation please
repeat after me
Oh divine spirit there is hidden
strength within me to overcome all
obstacles and temptations
I will bring forth that indomitable
power and energy Oh divine spirit there
is hidden strength within me to overcome
all obstacles and temptations
I will bring forth that indomitable
power and energy Oh Divine Spirit there
is hidden strength within me to overcome
all obstacles and temptations I will
bring forth that indomitable power and
energy

in meditation posture let us practice a
breathing exercise to help calm the body
and mind keeping the gaze and attention
focused at the point between the
eyebrows expel the breath through the
mouth in a double exhalation now inhale
through the nostrils tensing the whole
body and clenching the fists hold
briefly then exhale expelling the breath
through the mouth in a double exhalation
and relaxing all the body parts at once

now forget the breath let it flow in and
out naturally of its own accord as in
ordinary breathing
[Music]

the point between the eyebrows listen to
and concentrate upon these words by
Parma han seokjun anda remember greater
than a million reasonings of the mind is
to sit and meditate upon God until you
feel calmness within then say to the
Lord I can't solve my problem alone even
if I thought a zillion different
thoughts but I can solve it by placing
it in your hands asking first for your
guidance and then following through by
thinking out the various angles for a
possible solution God does help those
who help themselves when your mind is
calm and filled with faith after praying
to God in meditation you are able to see
various answers to your problems and

and mind
