'Walking Meditation'

​Dear All,

If you're able to cultivate the flow of vibes/kundalini at the top of the head, it can be amazing how the stuff going on in your life works itself out in the best possible way.

How do you cultivate the vibes at top of head? By meditating of course. If you're finding that you're too busy or too tired at the end of the day to meditate, then cheat ! Do a 'walking meditation'.

To do a walking meditation, all you need to do is to put your attention at the top of your head from time to time as you go about your daily activities, and pausing your thoughts. This ability is like a muscle and if you work it , it gets stronger.

This 'habit' can be applied to any situation you find yourself in. Just go on dissolving issues/challenges/problems/what-to-dos in the 'ocean of pure awareness' at the top of your head and see how things work out and what inspirations you get.

As much as possible this knowledge of kundalini, of vibes and of your chakras is to be integrated into your day-to-day. This is how you make it your own and it becomes part and parcel of yourself.

While we're on the subject of feeling vibes at the top of your head, listen to the experience Lili Yang ( China) recently had in a group meditation while on a tour of India. This must be a very close description of 'cosmic consciousness'. Click Here.

 

See you at group meditation tomorrow.

Stomach, head and hand - feeling better about life in 7 minutes

​Dear All,

If you've got to the point in your meditation practice where you can feel cool vibes on the palms of your hands, then the force is with you :o) . Here's how you can use it to heal and help yourself.

A large part of how we feel (mood, energy & emotions) daily is due to how we're feeling in our gut (stomach) - notice how the food you eat can affect your mood or you get butterflies in the stomach when you're nervous. 

For this reason science has referred to the gut as the 'second brain' and a connection has even been made between anxiety and depression and digestive disorders like IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) - see John Hopkins university medicine.

 

The stomach is looked after by the Nabhi Chakra, so if you can improve your nabhi chakra, it's a good way to improve how you're feeling generally.

To improve your Nabhi chakra, when sitting in meditation, with left hand open on the lap towards the meditation photo, place the right hand - palm open - over the stomach. Keep the attention at the top of the head until you can feel the sensation of the connection between the stomach and top of the head.

What is happening is that your right hand is giving vibes to the Nabhi, causing it to open out. As it begins to open out the root ('peeta') of the nabhi in the sahasrara chakra at top of head also begins to open out and you can feel it there. By the way, all the chakras have their peetas in the head. This is how the subtle body is like an upside down tree ('Tree of Life').

The peetas lie on the medulla oblaganta in the brain as explained in this 7 minute clip (click here).

See you at group meditation tomorrow.

Awakening the Energy of the Chakras.

​

​Dear All,

Here is a free meditation mp3 to download and listen to on your phone on your commute to work or on your lunch break (click here).

Regular listening to it helps to awaken the energy on your chakras, which is your path to real inner transformation.

When you become familiar with the pronunciation of the sanskrit mantras on the mp3, then you could try saying them yourself and experimenting with them in your meditation(Guide sheet attached below).

We've now completed that 4-week sahaja yoga meditation plan. Our goal was to experience (or expand) our 'thoughtless awareness' state and develop the feeling of vibes on our hands.

It may not have been possible for you to keep up with the plan; if so, it doesn't matter. Click here to see last weeks email again which has a printable copy of the plan attached.

The plan has no dates on it , so stick it on your wall and revisit it whenever you want, as you develop the regularity of your meditation practice. Your persistence will pay off and you can achieve some success, which for many people shows up as positive changes in work and personal life.

Also in last week's email was this :

"The discriminatory awareness improves when the hamsa chakra, which governs the olfactory bulb at the bridge of the nose is improved."
The link between discriminatory awareness and the sense of smell could have been explained better -  so see further below(p.s) for explanation.

As always feel free to email me any questions you have or if you want more info about something specific.

See you at group meditation tomorrow.

Regards

p.s

What does a perfumer and a wine-taster have in common? Answer: a good nose. Both are able to tell the difference between two bottles of perfume and two bottles of wine, respectively, which to most people might smell or taste the same. This is a gross form of discriminatory awareness in action.

That our sense of smell, which is linked to the olfactory bulb at the bridge of the nose, plays such an important part in discriminatory awareness, could be part of animal heritage. Cats and dogs can smell danger. In human beings this acute ability is largely lost. As a result we have no way of telling for sure what is good for us and what is bad, when there are so many shades of grey. This also applies in the day-to-day choices we make about things as well as the decisions we take.

Rationality, is not always a proper guide so we're mainly flying blind with a lot of things.

When hamsa chakra which governs the olfactory bulb is improved then the discriminatory awareness, which is like a heightened intuition, becomes better and, automatically, you tend to make the right choices.
