Ra Ma Da Sa Sa Say So Hung: The Ultimate Healing Tool

Ra Ma Da Sa, Sa Say So Hung is the mantra for the sacred healing meditation first taught in the Summer of 1973. This healing meditation is used to pray for healing energy for our friends, family, and ourselves. It was also practiced at every White Tantric Yoga® Course for the Mahan Tantric, Yogi Bhajan.

Kundalini Yoga practitioners have been using this meditation for the last four and a half decades. Try it when you want to send healing energy to a loved one or need healing yourself.

Practicing the mudra and the mantra properly will optimize the energy flow and will make this meditation all the more potent.

Posture: Sit in Easy Pose (sitting on the floor, with legs crossed) or in a chair with feet planted firmly on the ground, with the spine straight, and a light Neck Lock applied (chin pulled back slightly).

Mudra: The mudra (hand position) is most important. The elbows are bent down by the sides, and are tucked comfortably but firmly against the ribs. The forearms are almost perpendicular to the floor, with the hands extended out at a 45 degree angle from the center of the body. Most importantly, the palms are perfectly flat, facing up, hands bent back at the wrists. You should feel a pull in the lowest part of your forearm as you almost hyper-extend your wrist to make the palms flat. (This tends to be the most challenging part of the meditation so it is important not to let the hands relax out of the position.) The fingers are kept side by side, except that the thumb is spread from the other four fingers.

What did he mean by this?

Ra - Sun

Ma - Moon

Daa - Earth

Saa - Impersonal Infinity

Saa Say - Totality of Infinity

So - Personal sense of merger and identity

Hung - The infinite, vibrating and real.

This mantra taps into the energies of the sun, moon, earth, and the Infinite Spirit to bring deep healing. It is important to pull the navel point powerfully on the first Sa and on Hung. Note that the word Hung is not long and drawn out. Rather, it is clipped off forcefully as you pull in the navel. Chant one complete cycle of the entire mantra with each breath. Then deeply inhale and repeat. Remember to move the mouth precisely with each sound. Try to feel the resonance in the mouth and in the anus area.

This actually sounds good. Lovecraft in period accurate America with a black protagonist.

Too bad they'll ruin it with YAAAAS and 'all men must die' bullshit

There is a vibratory frequency that corresponds to everything in the Universe. Happiness or sorrow, joy or regret are vibratory frequencies in the mind. When we chant a mantra we are choosing to invoke the positive power contained in those particular syllables. Whether it’s for prosperity, peace of mind, increasing intuition, or any other possible benefits inherent in mantras, simply by chanting them we are setting vibrations into motion that shall have an effect. It doesn’t actually matter if we understand the meaning of the sounds or not.

Chanting mantra produces specific vibratory frequency within the body. The sounds and thoughts produced by the body and mind radiate out from you. The vibratory frequency of a mantra draws to you whatever you are vibrating. You are like a magnet attracting vibrations to you by what you send out. As a vibration, a mood, a state of being that results from chanting, mantra is compatible with all belief systems.

In addition to the vibrations set in motion, something else happens when you chant. This is really important. There are eighty-four meridian points, or pressure points, in the roof of the mouth. Every time you speak, you stimulate them and their associated glands and organs—with the tongue. And every time you chant a mantra, you are tapping out a particular sequence, rhythm, and position that initiates a chemical reaction in the brain and body. It’s as if you have an electronic, computerized security system in your mouth. Punch in the right code on the upper palate and you gain entry to the brain and your inner chambers of higher consciousness!

This is the truth why we will never have a movie based on Lovecraft


Lovecraft was a white loser writer who wrote for low-quality magazines.

Nothing he wrote can be compared to works by modern authors.

The only fans of this mediocre are edgy and lonely semi-illiterate boys and racist right-wingers.

> He was a beta that in the whole life only managed to have sex with a woman, for pity.

> He was an affected racist, his hatred of minorities was a shame even at that time

> He was totally devoid of talent,skill and experience, his works were limited to a few pages without a deep narrative and really complex characters, all of them imitations of himself, an incapable, boring and pathetic white male

> It was too anglo, all his work is based on the limited spectrum of the life of an anglo-saxon man.

> Even though he was only focused on this limited racist expectation of an Anglo-Saxon, he was unable to create characters with whom we can identify with ourselves. Even if you are a descendant of Anglo-Saxons, you cannot identify with his racist and poorly educated characters.

> His scientific knowledge was pathetic even for works from the early 20th century. There would be great difficulty in adapting his lack of knowledge to intelligent content for modern audiences.

> Lack of economic and political knowledge. He flirts several times with eugenic and socialist conduct. Had he lived long enough, he would probably be an admirer of Hitler. This lack of knowledge in these issues makes their work become even more outdated and less complex.

> Total lack of subtexts. He probably did not even know what that word means. He also had an extraordinarily poor vocabulary.

WE

What are some CoonCraftian movies ?

In summary, Lovecraft is a lame """"""""""artist"""""""""", his work is incapable of captivating people endowed with education, imagination and taste.


Hollywood understands this and seeks to stay away from the pitiful quality and racism that the name Lovecraft is eternally bound.


Here is an example of the """"""""legacy"""""""" of Lovecraft


change.org/p/the-world-fantasy-award-make-octavia-butler-the-wfa-statue-instead-of-lovecraft

Yes, yes very good.

HOWEVER

What was the elder being's tax policy?

oh look another media induced story of the evils of racism. I swear if we focused less on it, it wouldn't be a problem

will it have epic tentacles though?

It's not scary so much as it is disturbing and unsettling

i thought lovecraft hated black people since Aryans come to save the day all the time
not to mention he had a cat named niggerkitty

>tfw True Detective season 1 could have been Lovecraft kino but Pizzolatto was more interested in "muh dialogue" rather than following any of the supernatural leads he put in the show

>Atticus Black, who joins up with his friend Letitia

>WE WUZ LOVCRAFTEEN PROTAGONIZ N SHIIIET!

It will be hard to make a good adaptation of Lovecraft. In my opinion, his message was that there are somethings we shouldn't know about or even see(like Cuthulu) and it is going to be hard to adapt that to screen

He did but his racist views softened later in life.
Once you fully comprehend your mortality, hating niggers seems like a waste of time.

they are calling it lovecraft country?

i hope it fails, i dont want lovecraft to go mainstream

>>Visionary showrunner who has never made something bad
And that's how you know OP is a paid shill.

BLA BLA BLA MUH RAYCISUMM
fucking libtards butthurt and jelous of such amazing creativity this guy came up so as usual they take lowblows at his personal life

>Jordan Peele and JJ Abrams

>i hope it fails, i dont want lovecraft to go mainstream
lel
Lovecraft is as mainstream as it gets you fuckin pseud

>jj abrams

it's already ruined

Will it be Kafkaesque?

>Lovecraftian series
>niggers everywhere

oh boy

that's fascinating I should look into him more I just went off my crazy leftist friend

>Jordan Peele
>Jim Crow

Is that nigger only writing about evil whiteys now?
Back in the 90s blacks had positive role models like Will Smith saving the world and shit...
Now every movie is about blacks being oppressed by the white devil.

Doesn't change the fact that the literature he wrote was mediocre at best, all the mystical shit is just to distract you from the prose.
However, Tolkien also pales when compared to actual literature, but the movies were still pretty good. What I'm afraid of is JJ Abrams directing and making everything fucking political.

Honestly I wouldn't be shocked in (((the producers))) who get these things made are only interested in making racially or politically charged projects with him.

The forced Lovecraftian meme was a shill tactic all along. bravo.

>They must survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the malevolent spirits that could be ripped from a Lovecraft paperback

>forced

The entire word Lovecraftian is forced, because retards don't read lovecraft and use it properly, putting it on the same level as the Kafka-esque comics is the best thing that could've happened to the word.

please do educate us what you consider actual literature

in b4 dostoevsky, austen, dickens, hemingway etc

Get Out was actually really well made and written so this could be good. Never read the book though

it really isn't. every irl normie friend and my family members have no fucking idea who lovecraft is.

could you be more of a nigger

I'm aware of the general depreciation of the arts taking place right now, and that in some places people are allowed to study both Tolkien and Harry Potter '''''academically''''', but you simply cannot compare manbabby fantasy to a writer like Austen and say they're the same thing.
Everyone's allowed to read about orcs and elves and demons or whatever, still the idea that they compare to Austen's intuitive grasp of the English language and novelistic discourse is laughable.

His second wife was black

They should have made a horror movie about yakub the ancient black scientist instead

Not him, but there has never been a good female novelist, Austen's books are just dull, and her bourgeois novels about marriage do not resonate with me.

>finally get high budget lovecraft series
>it's turned into muh evil whitey
why cant we have nice things just once?

t. cuckcrafts

lmao imagine if lovecraft saw this?

he was married once to a white russian...

Did he watch many movies? Did he every write anything about movies?

lovecraft is a racist bigot. absolutely dropped

The Void is the best "lovecraftian" thing we're ever going to get.
Normies don't even read him and most people don't know what made lovecraft so great.
I haven't even finished the complete collection cause that shit is scary as fuck. i wish i could see what he saw though, what drugs did he do?

>movie trailer
>WHAT IF BIG GUYS WEREN'T JUST A STORY
>ear shattering fart noise
>full frontal shot of CIA rising from the plane with IV tubes streaming off of his body
>black screen
>coming 2018

>movie
>opening shot is CIA rising out of the plane
>movie is 2 hours and 45 minutes of CIA destroying Bane
>ending is CIA standing over the leveled Bane with his thumbs in his belt

>there has never been a good female novelist
>Austen's books are dull
You obviously don't know what you're talking about. That you don't know any good female novelists shows that you don't read, that you think Austen's books are dull means you think books are supposed to be exciting.

his cat's name was "nigger man"

yes yes white people are evil we get it already

oh right thank you it's been a long time

I expect them to be interesting, at least. Which is why I'll always prefer books like the Count of Monte Cristo and Les Miserables.

Bronte did what Austen did, but better.

So I was right

How has nobody mentioned yet that the source material for this show has little to nothing to with HP Lovecraft's work beyond "Lovecraft" in the title and occasional references to "monsters"?

The book is shit and the series will be too. It will not be a HP Lovecraft inspired series by any means but idiots will probably think it is.

do you think louvrecraft will be a big guy for you ?

can't niggers just build on something of their own?

I finished reading the book last week and it had some cool stuff going on but was fairly average overall. Jordan Peele could definitely make a cool series out of it, though.

Also, it's not Lovecraftian in the "cosmic gods awakening from the depths below" sense, but is more focused on secret cults and blood magic.

I don't know what criteria you consider to be read, so whatever, I'm sure that you haven't read Thucydides or Machiavelli

>Atticus
Fucking hate this name, it screams fanfic tier

This author sounds like someone who actually took personal offense when they found out Lovecraft had a bit of a racist bent. Its such thinly veiled propaganda, with peele exec Producing, and it being specifically jim crow 50's. Perfectly suited for the emotional liberal and their "white scare". Somebody made a smart business move at HBO.

>why don't niggers just create their own cultural canon from scratch
Even Europeans didn't do this, retard

i'm only interested in the the Thee Thine Thous of comedy at this point in my life sorry kiddo

...

Don't worry, give it another 50 years and they'll be claiming that HP Lovecraft was actually a black woman named Haquetia Pearl, and the HP Lovecraft in all of the pictures is actually the evil white man who took credit for all of her writings.

>Lovecraft is "cultural canon"
fuck you, pleb. Niggers can't expect for everybody else to clap when they take unrelated pop entertainment and try to make it about their sob story. It's not about building a culture from scratch because they did that already, it's just a shit one.

JJ Abrams is good with tv shows, especially ones that are focused on mysteries.

>lovecraft isn't cultural canon
The fact everyone knows who lovecraft is and going as far as to namedrop cthulu even where it doesn't belong means the mythos is part of the cultural canon.

>brand recognition is equivalent to culture
you're doing great, champ.

Lovecraft was a racist terror, so it works.

Taking a warts and all modern look at Lovecraft with all his sexism and racism can create some amazing stories.

Damn you're genuinely retarded

>Sun Ra

Black people work for Cthulu

Welcome to modern capitalist America.
Brand recognition IS culture!

fuck off back to

>when a silly forced meme is actually viral marketing

Naw. Lovecraft thought black people were just a subhuman species like most ignorant white people of his time.

>deeply influencing your genre of work is just brand recognition

>Lovecraft
>Hitler

If he had lived 10 more years i'm sure epic stories would have been written.

[This is what millennials actually believe]

>> He was a beta that in the whole life only managed to have sex with a woman, for pity.
Plus he hated Jews but ended up marrying a Jewish woman. He grew up in the care of two overbearing aunts.

The best part of the work of lovecraft will never be mainstream. Poems and fantasies are no match with muh tentacles

so what you're saying is, he was 100% /ourguy/?

I am partial to tentacles tho

that doesn't mean it's CANON in the culture, he can be the biggest influence in his genre but that doesn't mean much if the genre is barely above marginal.

Mozart is canon, Hemmingway is canon, Miles Davis is canon for that matter. Lovecraft doesn't rise to that.

fair enough, but chtulu is a niche mention drop instead of an actual monster archetype like vampire, mummy or werewolf

Goddamn, I don't care about Sup Forums's negativity, this sounds pretty kino

>Lovecraft
>the real monster is racism
dropped

>canon
I have never heard this term used for general mainstream culture. I have only heard it used for church teachings and the storylines of various books, movies, and television shows.

>Spirits
>Lovecraftian

Yeah, nah

Except race did play a huge part of Locevrafts work. It just involved fear of alien races invading as a stand in for his own racist fears. Xenophobia is central to his works.

>implying they aren't
