Now put your neck in Super conscious level. This posture must be maintained till the completion of your dhyana.   

1) Anushtaana Gayatri:

Gayantam traayate iti Gayatri.

The more one chants Gayatri the more one gets protection.

Na Maataa Paradaivam na Gayatri Para Mantram.

There is no substitue for mother and no other Mantra is a substitute for Gayatri Mantra.

Om Bhoorbhuvassuvaha tatsavitarenyam

Bhargodevasya Dheemahi Dheeyoyonah Prachodayat.

Om= Parabrahman, Bhooh= embodiment of Pranava, Bhuvaha= eradicates sorrow, Suvaha= embodiment of happiness, Tat=with that, Savituhu=Effulgence, Devasya=of God, Varenyam=the best and greatest, Bhargaha=that effulgence which is the destroyer of our sins, Dheemahi=we pray, Yaha=which, Naha=our(s), Dhiyaha=intellect, Prachodayaat=Provoke.

Oh ParaBrahman, You are the embodiment of  Pranava, You are the eradicator of sorrow, You are the embodiment of Happiness, we pray that effulgence of God, the best and greatest, which is the destroyer of our sins, so as to enhance our intellect for doing good deeds.  

Poorakam=  Inhalation, breath in.

Antah kumbhakam= Retention of Breath in Kootastha, the space between the eye brows.

Rechakam= exhalation, Breath out.

Baahyakumbhakam= Retention of Breath outside the body.

Poorakam+ Antah kumbhakam+ Rechakam Baahya kumbhakam= one Hamsa.

Take a long breath in slowly while chanting Gayatri Mantra.---Poorakam,

Retain the breath in Kootastha. Chant Gayatri Mantra while retaining it in Kootastha---Antah kumbhakam.

Take a long breath out slowly while chanting Gayatri Mantra-----Rechakam

Retain the breath while chanting Gayatri Mantra.--- Baahya kumbhakam. .

It should be like a Square having four equal sides of Poorakam, Antah kumbhakam, Rechakam, and Baahya kumbhakam.

Do it at least 12 times. 

2) hu  hoo kriya.

Sit in saambhavee mudra.

Inhale slowly and steadily long breath in (poorakam). While doing slowly close your fist firmly.

Retain it (Antah kumbhakam) in kootastha comfortably for 3 or 4 seconds.

Now exhale it slowly and steadily. (Rechakam). While doing slowly open your fist firmly. 

Retain it (Bahya kumbhakam) out comfortably for 3 or 4 seconds.

3)HAM saa  Kriya  

Now you visualize as though the breath in is coming through Moolaadhara, and going upto Kootastha through Swadhistaana, Manipura, Anahata, Visuddha, Agna negative and Agna positive Chakras in the Spinal cord. Similarly in return the breath out is  through Agna positive, Agna negative, Visuddha, Anahata, Manipura, Swadhistaana, and through Moolaadhara to outside the body.

During breath in say mentally ‘’HAM’’ along with the breath. After breath in retain the breath in Kootastha. While retaining the breath in Kootastha, your gaze and mind should remain fixed in Kootastha. During first breath in only repeat first breath in only retain it as per your capacity with effort in Kootastha. In the next consecutive breaths-in do not put any effort to retain in kootastha. Let it go by itself. 

During breath out say mentally ‘’SAA’’ along with the breath. After breath out retain the breath outside the body as long as possible. During first breath out only repeat first breath out only, retain it outside the body as per your capacity with effort..  In the next consecutive breaths-out do not put any effort to retain it outside the body  Let it come by itself. 

The breath should come by itself and go by itself. While coming in say mentally ‘’HAM’’, The breath should go by itself and come by itself. While going out say mentally ‘’SAA’’.

Your Mind and gaze should follow the breath in and breath out. If the breath in comes upto a particular Chakra, say Visuddha, then your Mind and gaze should be there. Likewise when breath out goes up to a particular Chakra, say Swadhistana, then  Your Mind and gaze should be fixed there only.

While observing the breath in and breath out in this way, at some point of time your mind will be interiorized and slips into Samadhi. Enjoy this Samadhi, the union with ParaBrahman, God the father.

4) Listening to OMKAR

Do this Kriya in Shambhavi Mudra.

Close your  corners of eyes with the little fingers of  both the hands. This is called OM MUDRA.

Now take a very long breath in slowly without any interruption.  Retain breath with effort in Kootastha as long as you can.  

Now take a very long breath out slowly without any interruption. Retain it with effort outside  as long as you can. 

Now you do Mahamudra three times.

Do kriyas.

Now do Jyoti Mudra.

Now do meditation.

What is Meditation:  Sit in SAMBHAVI MUDRA in Super consciousness. Concentrate your mind and gaze in Kootastha, the place between the two eyebrows.

Take a long breath in and retain the breath in antah kumbhakam (internal retention) as long as you can hold it in Kootastha. If you hear the sound, then merge it with sound. If you find the effulgence, then behold it. Don’t try for both.

Likewise you breath out and retain it in baahya kumbhakam (external retention) as long as you can hold it. All the while in both the Kumbhakams you must concentrate either on sound or on effulgence but not the both. 
once again I am explaining:

During these breaths-in and breaths-out try to listen the sacred sound of ‘’OM’’ with rapt attention or behold effulgence. Your whole concentration must be on this OM sound only or effulgence. Now cease all other activities. Merge with OM or  effulgence.
This way you must do meditation. Slip into Samadhi,  the union with Para Brahman, God the father.
