Teacher's Notes & More Information:

This meditation rids you of fears and split personalities. It can be quite challenging to do it. If you feel pain in your arms, keep up. I have found that there is a point when you go beyond the physical pain, and merge into union with the Creator. It is the most victorious feeling, and will carry you into an inner state of bliss.
