You mean “Samayik” (the practice of equanimity). Here is the simplest way to start it at home.
Basic steps (for any tradition)
Prepare
- Choose a clean, quiet place. Sit on a clean āsan. Wear simple clean clothes (white if possible).
- Wash hands/feet/face. Keep a peaceful intention: “For the next 48 minutes I will stay in equanimity, avoiding rāga–dveṣa (attachment–aversion).”
Take the vow (Pratyākhyān / Pachchakkhān)
- Mentally or aloud: “Ichchhāmi samāiyaṁ karemi” (I wish to do Samayik for one antar-muhūrta ~ 48 minutes).
Begin with Namokār Mantra
- Recite Navkār Mantra slowly and mindfully.
Sit steady
- Posture: Padmāsana/Ardha-padmāsana/Sukhasana; keep spine straight, eyes softly closed or lowered; observe silence (maun) as much as you can.
During Samayik (choose any or combine)
- Reflect on the soul’s purity and cultivate sama-bhāva (equanimity).
- Do pratikraman-alochanā (gentle repentance) and forgiveness: “Khamemi savva jīvā… Michchhāmi dukkadam.”
- Chant or study a short sutra/stotra (e.g., Logassa), or do quiet dhyān and kāyotsarga (motionless awareness).
Conclude
- End with Namokār Mantra.
- Humbly admit any lapses and reaffirm the resolve to keep sama-bhāva in daily life.
