Achieving Your Health, Wealth & Happiness By 10-Minutes Daily Thoughtless Awareness. 3 Ways You'll Feel Better When You Forgive Someone . Dear Friend, Letting stuff go -the wrong things someone may have said or done to you - is a form of self-love. If you hold on to a hurt by someone, then the wound (to yourself) won't heal and could even fester. It should be easier to forgive friends, family or work colleagues, but sometimes it's not.  When you do forgive, however,  you'll feel better for it because 1. there won't be anything playing on your mind  2. you'll have turned a negative into a positive 3. you'll have elevated yourself by rising above it. And why is this important for yoga? Because when you don't forgive, it creates a block or obstacle on your agnya chakra in your forehead, which prevents your kundalini from rising past that point. More about your agnya chakra below. Also below: Sing yourself better and the how to recharge your emotional battery . Best wishes P. PS. Photo collage of Sahaja yoga around the world, further down.

Singing Therapy - Heal Yourself By Hitting The Right Notes. If you're going to sing in the shower, let it do something for you. The human body is like a musical instrument of seven notes (the chakras). When the instrument is out of tune, it affects your wellness. Heal yourself by learning to sing, with Shaswati, in the Indian 'Raga' system of music. Drop an email to Shaswati and see this TED talk about the 'necessity of singing'... How To Balance A Busy WorkLife For Improved Well-Being. Your work life, if it's very busy, can take so much out of you, that you have little time or energy for much else. According to Sahaja yoga, the body is like a battery. When you are over-busy, your right-side channel gets drained and starts tapping into the energy of your left channel (emotional reserves) leading to a state of imbalance. Restore your balance like this... Your Agnya Chakra & Forgiving Someone. "To err is human; to forgive, divine". When you forgive someone, there's a subtle effect on your agnya chakra  - it opens up. This allows your kundalini to pass through and reach your sahasrara or crown chakra, where 'yoga' or the union between your individual spirit and the all-pervading energy of existence takes place. Your agnya chakra is also known as the 'third eye' and here's how it works... Popular Posts Others Are Reading. Quote of the Week   " In whom the peace is established, only there can this tree [enlightened human consciousness through kundalini] grow. That’s why you should first go into thoughtlessness. For that I don’t see any other way, other than meditation. First we should meditate and establish our thoughtlessness...when we have to grow then it is important that we stay in meditation and establish thoughtlessness." February 16th 1986, 'Learn To Love Yourself', New Delhi (India). " A friend of mine, who is a reiki master, is persuading me to take the reiki level 1 course. Although the fees for the course seem reasonable, I'm still not sure. Would you say that reiki is compatible with sahaja yoga meditation?". In Reply: It's up to you what you choose to do, but certainly for anyone trying to establish their Sahaja yoga practice - ie achieving the ability to rest in a state of mental silence (thoughtless awareness), starting with a clean slate, helps avoid getting mixed results from mixing up different practices.

Achieving Your Health, Wealth & Happiness By 10-Minutes Daily Thoughtless Awareness. Here's The Cure For Your Over-Thinking . Dear Friend, If you play on repeat in your head something someone said to you at work, to try and figure out whether there was some hidden meaning, then you may be over-thinking it. Mental reflection about anything is OK and most people do it from time to time. But if you find that you have a  tendency to mentally reflect all the time about anything, then this is what is called 'ruminative thinking' which has been linked to various mental health issues like anxiety, depression and OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). We learn from holistic approaches to health that where an issue is reported is not necessarily where an issue is coming from. So in Sahaja yoga, something like over-thinking or ruminative thinking, is not an issue of mental health but is an issue to do with an 'overactive' liver. This makes it much more easily treatable, because liver problems can usually be resolved by a modification to the diet eg. cutting down on coffee drinking. Your liver is looked after by your swadisthana chakra, which is also the chakra that relates to your powers of concentration, attention and focus. If you overthink a little, then clear your swadisthana chakra - see below. Also below: the surprising health benefits of just standing barefoot on the grass; and how to use your crown chakra.

Health Benefits Of Standing Barefoot On Grass. The next time you feel stressed about something, take your shoes off and go stand on a patch of grass for 5 minutes. The stress will drain out through your feet and you'll feel much more relaxed and better able to deal with whatever was causing the stress. It's like discharging internal static by earthing yourself . The best time is in the morning when there's dew on the grass. Do regularly for these benefits... How To Use Your Crown Chakra - Your Problem Solver. No matter what problem or dilemma you face, there's a solution out there; you've just got to be quiet long enough in your head, for that flash of inspiration. When your kundalini rises during your meditation and pierces your crown chakra, you're connected to the organising principle of Nature which works everything out. Here's a quick problem-solver, guided meditation... Here's The Cure For Your Over-Thinking. If the thoughts chasing themselves around in your head makes it feel sometimes that your head would burst, then stop what you're doing; get an icepack from your fridge; wrap it in a tea towel and press and hold it on your liver, which is on the right side of your body, just below your ribcage. When your liver cools down , it will make you quieter in your head. Better still , clear your swadisthan chakra like this... Popular Posts Others Are Reading. Quote of the Week   " Now I’ll tell you what is the solution [to Global Food Poverty/Climate Change]. Only by worrying about it or talking about it you don’t solve. The thing is, when you people get these cool vibrations in the hand [from kundalini Awakening] and if you give back to the Mother Earth, now you can give back. We have experimented [with vibrated water] that the food grows ten times more,...Then the Mother Earth herself comes up in new forms, to help the human kind. The whole atmosphere changes, all the elements help you " September 4th 1983, Public Program, Vienna (Austria).. " When are the in-person meditation sessions starting up again?" In Reply: Some of our venues, including Chelsea and Hampstead, have opened up already.

Achieving Your Health, Wealth & Happiness By 10-Minutes Daily Thoughtless Awareness. Climate Change - 3 Things You Can Do Now. Dear Friend, No matter how dire the situation; there's always hope. The latest report from the IPCC ( Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change) appears to be very dire indeed, with the projection for when the increased global surface temperatures will hit the critical 1.5C,  being shortened from 2050 to 2040. This, according to the science, will lead to more frequent occurrences of the droughts, heatwaves and flooding that we're already witnessing. What can you do about it that will make a difference? Probably nothing. The train has already left the station. But.. But, rather than do nothing, why not, in your own way, be part of the global grassroots urge to hopefully make a difference? Here are three things you can begin to do today: Eat Less Meat  Downsize Where You Can - Do You Really Need 50 Pairs of Shoes? Meditate To Evolve. Fast. While it's easy to see how eating less meat and downsizing can make a difference to your carbon-footprint and so help the fight against climate change, it's not clear how meditation will help. The line of logic is explained below. Also below: 5 'mind-blowing' benefits of eating raw honey every day; plus, how to raise you vibes, whenever you need a confidence boost.  Best wishes P.

Why You Should Eat Raw Honey Every Day! Eating honey, especially as a sugar substitute, is good for  you. Eating raw honey is even better because it retains the health-giving ingredients that can be lost from processed honey - which is most of the honey that you'll find on your supermarket shelf. In Sahaja Yoga honey is recommended as a 'liver food', so is good for the swadisthana chakra the source of your creativity and ability to focus.  Confidence Boost When You Need It - Raising Your Vibes. You're going for a job interview; you have a work meeting; you're doing a client presentation; you're meeting someone socially for the first time. These are all moments, when it's natural for anyone to feel a little anxious. But you don't have to be. That confidence boost you get from daily meditation can be tapped into when you need it. Here's a 1-minute way to raise your vibes anytime, any place... Climate Change - Your Mother, The Earth. The Earth is a living entity, according to the Gaia Hypothesis, and there's a human evolution link to climate change. The Earth is then like a Mother who nurtures her children's growth (evolution) to the point they are capable of looking after her. So could we really evolve our way out of the climate crisis with kundalini meditation? Here's what Shri Mataji had to say on the subject , way back in 1995... Popular Posts Others Are Reading. Quote of the Week   "in Sahaja Yoga that [self-] realisation [partial enlightenment] takes place in complete effortlessness... which is called as 'prayatna shaytilya' - means 'relax your efforts'. Without doing anything you got your prayatna shaytilya, otherwise Kundalini would not have risen. Then the second stage is 'vichara shaithilya' - the thoughtless awareness. This also you got it without doing anything. And the third is complete negation of thought, 'abhava', and the bliss of peace. So one has to understand that you have to pass then, through three stages. First, when you get your realisation all these things come spontaneously, for that moment." July 14th 1984, Grand Hotel Leysin (Leysin American Schools), Leysin (Switzerland). " I've noticed how work opportunities seem to just drop into my lap since I became serious about my sahaja yoga meditation. I've just been asked to lead a small project, but I'm nervous that I'll screw it up. Is there a meditation for that?  " In Reply: No, there's no special meditation for successful project management :o) If you're nervous that your skill set doesn't match the role you're being asked to perform, then most organisations would be open to sending you on a relevant course to support you, if you requested it. If you're nervous about your credibility with the people you'll have to work with, just level with them by being open about what strength you bring to the table and what you're going to need their help with. Disarm them. Use your regular morning meditation to put some focus on your daily goals - as mentioned in last week's newsletter - so that your project benefits in some way from the power of your enlightened attention.
