S A M A S A T I‘I designed this meditation so that it can be done in a group or by yourself. The first six stages are an opportunity topractice dying consciously, a rehearsel for the end of your life. The remaining four stages are a reminderto live totally and cherish each moment.’ VeereshStage 1 – Thank youPretend that you know your life is soon coming to an end. Sit with eyes closed and placeyour hands over your heart. Whisper ‘thank you’ to everyone and everything that hasbeen meaningful to you in your life, just loud enough that you can hear yourself.Stage 2 – GoodbyePrepare yourself to let go of all attachments. Sit with eyes closed and place yourhands together in a Namaste position in front of your heart. Whisper to yourself,‘goodbye” to everyone, everything, your life and to existence, loud enough that youcan hear yourself.Stage 3 – Letting goNow it is time to let go. Continue sitting, now in a Buddha position with yourpointing finger touching your thumb and the back of your hands resting on yourknees. Listen to the final reminder of your life.Stage 4 – Final BreathWelcome your death. Continue to sit with your eyes closed, the back ofyour hands resting on each knee. Your first finger touches your thumb ina Buddha position. Follow Veeresh’s instructions: Slowly take a deepbreath in through your nose and as you breathe in, say to yourself,‘I am grateful for the life I had’. Hold your breath for a moment…Slowly breathe out through your mouth, and as you breathe out, sayto yourself, ‘And now, I welcome my death’. Repeat this two moretimes.
