Meditation for an Invincible
Spirit in the Aquarian Age
A 1,000-Day Sadhana
We are quickly approaching the long awaited
transition to the Aquarian Age. Much has been
written about this. In essence it is humanity’s
transition from adolescence to maturity. We
leave behind the Piscean Era and enter into an
age of global awareness, radiance, intuition and
cooperation, an era that will usher in an age of
equanimity and prosperity, accompanied by an
evolution in our capacity to perceive, think,
feel and sense. Such growth would mean that much
would need to be left behind—old structures and
ways of thinking, communicating and living will
pass. Confusion, depression, and conflicts will
increase as the old ways of holding
power—politically, religiously, socially and
personally—all fight their last fight. This
period of testing and growth will last until
2038, when a new stewardship of this planet and
our selves will be realized and peace will have
an opportunity to prevail on Earth.
Yogi Bhajan used his intuitive clarity to focus
and prepare us for this transition, noting that
the dawning of the Age would be precisely at
11:30am (PST), November 11, 2011. The cusp
period will end and the Age of Aquarius will
begin. We will be challenged on every front—and
from that pressure, a new culture of
consciousness will bloom. He defined it as the
time of Khalsa: those who are pure in heart,
clear in conscience, fearless and effective in
action, intuitive, kind, and compassionate,
noble within the Self, and humble before the
Infinite Creator.
One of the many blessings in the community of
Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan® is the
love of discipline that allows us to awaken,
expand and refine our awareness. With that
expanded awareness we can act effectively, heal
those in distress and enjoy the tumultuous,
spontaneous creativity of life. We practice
40-day meditations to embody new experiences or
increased capacities. We practice 90-day
meditations to clear our subconscious and build
new habits. We practice 120-day meditations to
realize that awareness in our daily lives. But
when we want to experience self-mastery and
confirm our consciousness, beyond every change
of time, space and circumstance, we practice
1,000 days.
A 1,000-day practice projects our newfound
awareness, mastery and consciousness
impersonally for all—it is impersonally
personal—a discipline of grace that blesses all.
In mythical and symbolic traditions like
numerology, it represents the nobility of the
individual,
“1”, expanded and radiant, as supported by the
three “0’s”, the body, mind and spirit;
negative, positive and neutral minds; and the
three gunas. It is experience and mastery
blended into a self-qualified awareness of human
excellence.
Yogi Bhajan gave us a practice for the Aquarian
Age, which calls on those inner virtues. He
shared it so that we could act with integrity
and clarity as teachers, healers and leaders; so
that we could be human under the pressures of
the times and the distractions of change, ego
and emotion.
Our practice will be worldwide and you can join
in at any point, adding to the global psyche,
projection and prayer: that we may enter the
Aquarian Age awake, aware and joyous. 3HO
Foundation, The Kundalini Research Institute and
Sikh Dharma International invite you to join us
in this 1,000-day sadhana. We will be doing the
following meditation for a 1,000 days, leading
up to the Aquarian Shift on November 11, 2011.
It uses the power of shabd—the technology of
sound and consciousness. He originally
introduced this mantra on February 5, 1992, soon
after we entered the final cusp period of the
Aquarian transition.
We will practice it 11 minutes each day. If you
wish, you can increase the time to 31 minutes.
Ideally, choose a regular time to do it each
day. Get together with friends and students.
Practice it in community: Be together. Be
brilliant with light. Be powerful with prayer.
Be prosperous. Face the future with an open
heart and open arms.
The 1,000 day meditation begins
February 14, 2009 and ends November 10, 2011.
On November 11, 2011 we will do a special
meditation to complete this practice in a global
wave of sound and consciousness. Join us as we
prepare for the first Summer Solstice of the
Aquarian Age, where the full energy of the sun
ignites us and unites us in June 2012.
Let’s join hands and hearts as a contemplative
community and act together in the love of
excellence, the gratitude of being and the hope
for peace and prosperity.
