Dear All,
Have you tried the ghee (clarified butter) in your nose yet? Why would you want to do that?
Well,
somebody described achieving thoughtless awareness in meditation as
like ocean surfing - he lives in Sydney, Australia, by the way- on a
good day, if you catch the wave just right then you can ride it for
quite sometime. On other days it may be difficult to get a good wave at
all. But the more practice you get; the more good rides you have.
Ghee
up the nose is like waxing the surfboard so your feet don't slip and
you can ride for longer. It's all to do with the chakra at the bridge of
the nose, called 'Hamsa' chakra. The Hamsa is at the point in the head
where the left and right channels cross-over and so represents a point
of balance. If the hamsa is in a good state then it's easier to achieve
that state of centred stillness(being in the present moment) that leads
into thoughtless awareness.
And
it's not just all about the meditation. If you ever feel congested in
the head, have dryness in the nose -from sitting in a room with all the
windows closed and the heating on (which is likely to be most of us as
it gets colder); or if you're a singer, then administering a few drops
of warm ghee in the nostrils before bedtime can lead to more mental
clarity, relief from sinusitis and give better quality to your voice.

Here's
something I sent out last Friday to those of you on the whatsapp group
which I thought I'd email as well for those not on the group - It's a quick biography of Shri Mataji.
See you at group meditation tomorrow.
Regards
