In deep meditation, a strong and vibrant Hong Sau practice serves as the foundation for all other techniques. This method allows us to go beyond the breath and connect with our body, mind, and heart. Enjoying the meditation process is crucial. Hong Sau involves bringing the wandering mind back to observe the breath repeatedly, leading to a sense of Divine Life within. Yogananda emphasized the importance of concentration, resolve, relaxation, and cheerfulness while following the technique. Enthusiasm and love for the spiritual path are vital, along with enjoying the practice. Always return to the fundamental principles: observe the breath and focus on the highest point in the nostrils with the mantra, avoiding control. Trust that this technique will eventually yield results. After meditating, embrace the peaceful after-effects. We are on this journey together, striving to reach the divine goal collectively.
