You are your own master.

​Dear All,

There are 3 'skills' you should try and achieve from your meditation. Once you get these, then you can guide yourself and teach your friends. It's like learning to drive a car. Once you know how to drive, you could drive to Rome for a holiday and take some passengers.

The 3 skills are:

• Being able to get into 'thoughtless awareness' ('mental silence' meditation) for at least a few seconds at a time.
• Being able to feel 'vibes' ('6th sense') and using it to find out what's cool (literally) and what's not.
• Being able to nourish yourself on 'vibes' . There's food, drink and sleep, and then there's vibes.

These skills you may already have or can quickly get by coming to the group meditation session whenever you can make it. Below is 5 minute exercise, which you can even do at home or work , to increase your guru tattwa.

This guru tattwa  is what gives you mental peace and balance in any situation. It's known as the principal of self-mastery.

Here's the exercise:

Sit comfortably, upright. Go into meditation - focus attention at top of your head. Now spread your right palm over your stomach and repeat the silent affirmation ' I am my own master' 10x .

(The stomach area is known as the 'Void' and is the circle around the nabhi chakra formed by the movement of the swadisthana chakra - see diagram below).

This can be a psychological booster that helps re-affirm your selfhood and self-determination; especially if you've been taking orders all day at work or feeling a loss of control in a situation.

Here's a video clip about self-diagnosing using vibes.

See you at group meditation tomorrow.
