Atma Bodh. Recognising Your Own Divinity.

 


Achieving Your Health, Wealth & Happiness By 10-Minutes Daily Thoughtless Awareness.

Atma Bodh. Recognising Your Own Divinity.


Dear Friend,

At 9:15pm on Thursday October 7th 1982, there was a traffic accident on Caudwell street in Bedford that created a mystery later reported on in the local newspaper (clip below).

Jason Haynes, riding a scooter, collided with a car and while lying injured on the road, he says an Indian 'faith healer' came and placed her hands on different parts of his body.

When the ambulance arrived and he was taken to hospital, no injuries were found; apart from a lower back ache.

The thing of it though, is that there had been several witnesses to the accident who had remained on the scene until the ambulance arrived. Nobody else had seen the Indian lady 'faith healer'.

The mystery deepened when Mr Haynes later saw a photo of Shri Mataji in an advert for a Sahaja yoga program and identified her as the 'faith healer' who had come to help him at the accident.

But at the time of the accident Shri Mataji had been giving  a lecture at the Guildhouse in Harper street and never left the building until 11pm; long after the accident scene had dispersed.

Being in two places at the same time; saving infants falling from a height and protecting people in peril all while being some place else are just a few of the stories associated with Shri Mataji.

In India, given it's rich spiritual heritage, the people there have no difficulty in recognising divinity when they encounter it. It is for this reason that they call Shri Mataji the 'Adi Shakti' (incarnation of the universal primordial Mother).

For the rest of us who may not have the benefit of such a heritage, it's Ok to take baby steps by recognising the divinity within yourself first.

This expresses itself at your every sitting in meditation when your kundalini is slowly giving you the knowledge of your (divine) Self ('Atma Bodh').

Then you too may one day achieve the feat of being in two places at the same time. More below.

For your optimum health don't drink just any old water, drink vibrated water instead. From experiments with vibrated water on plants & crops that show a resulting increase in vibrancy and yield, it's clear that vibrated water can have an effect on human cells as well - whether that's your skin or any other organ in  your body. Here's the best way to vibrate your water...
Self Knowledge - Nurturing The Flame of Your Spirit (A Meditation).
A candle flame can do a lot. It's light allows you to see things more clearly in the dark. The fire from the flame gives sustenance with the warmth and being used to cook food. The candle wax (your body, thoughts & emotions) is there just to provide a crucible for the flame (your spirit) to burn bright. The wick is your kundalini. Here's a short meditation to help you  identify more with the flame than with the wax...
Devi Revealed - How They Discovered Who Shri Mataji Was.
There were two incidents in India that originally led people to concluding that Shri Mataji was more than just a Lady Guru. The first was when a housemaid fell into a trance and began to recite an ancient hymn in Sanskrit (a language the housemaid didn't know; and in a man's voice) addressing Shri Mataji as 'Devi' ('The Goddess'). The second one was to test the truth of this with a 'puja' (ceremony). Here's what happened...

Quote of the Week
 

"Unless you are fully aware of your own divinity (through meditation and experiences),  then despite the faith you may have in me,  the recognition is not complete. Because who is recognising me? Is a blind person. If a blind person is recognising me it won’t have that response of the heart (sincerity)."

May 5th 1991, Ischia (Italy).

"Does intermittent fasting for weight loss affect the balance of the chakras?"
In Reply:

It doesn't have to. It depends on what version of intermittent fasting you're doing.

The 5:2 version,  where you eat a normal diet for 5 days a week and then fast on 2 days, is the version probably commonly associated with intermittent fasting.

Where this might diverge from a Sahaj approach is in the suppression of the body's natural urges (hunger) over a sustained period of time.

There's truth in the saying : " A hungry person is an angry person". So it could affect the balance of your moods.

The more Sahaj version of intermittent fasting is the time-based 16:8 version .

With this, you eat all your meals within an 8 hour window, say 10am - 6pm and then don't eat for the rest of the time, part of which you'd be asleep anyway.

With this version it's unlikely you'll notice any hunger and it closely matches the body's natural circadian rhythms.

Word Power. How What You Say Comes True.

 

Achieving Your Health, Wealth & Happiness By 10-Minutes Daily Thoughtless Awareness.

Word Power. How What You Say Comes True.


Dear Friend,

Don't be surprised if you make a casual remark about something without giving it much thought, and later discover that it actually happens or turns out to be the truth.

I know that this has happened to me before and I'm sure that  other Sahaja yogis have experienced it too. So what's going on with that?

It's like this. When you speak, it may seem like your brain is coming up with things to say and your vocal chords are just turning it into word sounds.

According to yoga, however, voice and word production actually begins in the stomach. It passes through 4 phases before becoming audible sound.

These 4 phases are : 1. Para  (stomach/ Nabhi chakra), 2. Madhyama (Heart chakra) 3. Pashyanti (Vishuddhi chakra), 4. Vaikhari (throat).

When Kundalini is awakened She awakens the intrinsic energy of the chakras, which otherwise are dormant. In yoga iconography, these intrinsic energies are visualised as 'deities'.

The 'deity' of the Nabhi chakra is Vishnu who in the literature is described as 'Padma-Nabah', which means ' who has a lotus growing out of his stomach'.

Sitting on that lotus is Brahma, the deity of creation. So with compact visual vocabulary the idea of the stomach being the source of the creative impulse (Para - 'In the beginning was the word.') is expressed.

This is how it is that with daily kundalini meditation, what you say can carry some creative power in it and change a little of the fabric of existence. More below. 

Also below: Why the best time to get up in the morning is Brahma Muhurta (The 'Ambrosial hour'); and, how to build up your resilience through greater strength and stability.

The key to having a successful day is to catch it pre-dawn before it has already taken shape. In Vedic science this special time is called 'Brahma Muhurta', and usually assumed to be at 4am. However, it's actually calculated as one and a half hours before sunrise. So if you're up between 6am- 7am you're good through December and January because of the late sunrise. Here's a Times of India photo-story of what to do to make the most of it... 
Building Resilience - A Meditation On Your Root Support.
Your Mooladhara chakra ('Root Support') is the foundation of your whole subtle body and is where you draw your strength and stability. It's also directly connected to your 'Ida Nadi' (left channel), which is the channel of your emotional life. Nurture the two together and you can fearlessly climb any mountain. Here's the meditation for building your inner resilience...
Word Power - How What You Say Comes True.
Your words have a power. This is why when you meditate and use mantras they have a real effect in developing the energy of your chakras. The mantras actually work ('Jagruti'). Similarly, what you say without intent can also happen. Loudly declaring that you're going to win the next draw of the national lottery, will probably not happen . Particularly if you haven't bought a ticket. But here's what's useful to know about your word power...

Quote of the Week
 

" A person whose 'Vani' (words/speech) is enlightened (through daily kundalini meditation), whatever [they] says comes true. Whatever [they] ask for happens.

Even before [they] say something,  the desire within, which is the 'Paravani', which is the coded information of the desire you have, becomes enlightened. And that’s how you get the results."

May 17th 1981, London (England).

"I'm not having a great time at home at the moment. We seem to be having arguments a lot more. I'm trying to meditate but the conversations keep going around and around in my head. What can I do?"
In Reply:

Focus on yourself and not the other person.

The chakras that it will be useful to pay attention to are:
  • Left Nabhi (domestic peace)
  • Left Vishuddhi (guilt)
  • Right Vishuddhi (assertive speech)
  • Front Agnya (overthinking it)
The 'treatments' for each are:
  • Left Nabhi - fingers pressed into left side of stomach with attention in Sahasrara.
  • Left Vishuddhi - gentle massage of  the crux of left side of neck and shoulder.
  • Right Vishuddhi - a neat spoonful of raw honey daily; regular hand massage with an emollient.
  • Front Agnya - diluted sandalwood oil massage of centre of forehead before bed-time.
