  2. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to calm your mind and relax your body.
  3. Place your hands on your knees, palms facing up, in a receptive posture.
  4. Begin to recite the Gayatri Mantra aloud or silently to yourself. The mantra is:

    Om Bhur Bhuvaḥ Swaḥ Tat-savitur Vareñyaṃ Bhargo Devasya Dhīmahi Dhiyo Yonaḥ Prachodayāt

    (Translation: "We meditate on the glory of the Creator; Who has created the Universe; Who is worthy of Worship; Who is the embodiment of Knowledge and Light; Who is the remover of all Sin and Ignorance; May He enlighten our Intellect.")
