"We're going to do an hour-long guided meditation. I invite you to check some stuff out in your experience, and you're welcome to do that, and you're also welcome to not-if you want to do your own meditation, you want to build some kind of astral temple in your mind while you're sitting-great-do that. Whatever you want. You can even do halfway, like go with me halfway, and then, like, okay, whatever he's doing next I'm not into it,"
"Let's begin doing some alternate nostril breathing. If you know how to do that, go ahead. If you don't, follow along with my instructions, which always start out putting your right hand like this, closing your right nostril with your right thumb, Make sure you're sitting up nice and straight. Breathe in through your left nostril-nice deep breath, close that left nostril with those two fingers."
An hour-long nondual guided meditation begins with an open invitation for participants to follow guidance or pursue their own practice while emphasizing the power of group sitting. The practice starts with chanting the mantra om mani padme hum for several minutes, with staggered breathing so the chant continues uninterrupted. Practitioners are asked to feel the heart center, noticing kindness, love, compassion, openness, and joy, and to allow the heart to soften or open. The session then introduces alternate nostril breathing with step-by-step hand positioning, nostril closures, and instructions to sit upright and breathe deeply. Flexibility and personal choice are repeatedly encouraged.
