Carriers of Paradise. Why It Ain't About The Money.

 

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

Carriers of Paradise. Why It Ain't About The Money.


Dear Friend,

The late British comedian, Spike Milligan, said that when he was struggling with his finances, he would pray to God : " Dear God, I know money doesn't buy happiness but I would like to try and see for myself."

Which is a predicament anybody can be in with money - when you don't have enough of it, it seems like the solution to all of your problems.

But in our heart we probably know this is not true because in a survey, The Top 8 Things People Desperately Desire But Can't Seem To Attain, it wasn't just about the money.

The list of wants included:
  • Freedom
  • Peace
  • Joy
  • Fulfilment
All the things, in fact, that sit at the top of that famous diagram that your HR department may have wheeled out before in one of their presentations - Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs.

These are the Self-Actualisation / Self-Realisation needs; the need to fulfil your human potential.

As you daily express this aspiration with your kundalini meditation, there's a massive payback through a trickle down effect.

When your kundalini opens out your Sahasrara chakra at the crown of your head, a grace (vibes) flood in and flow down into your chakras.

When this happens repeatedly your chakras are nourished and project into every part of your lived experience, including your material relationship with money (Nabhi chakra).

Then a kind of a feeling of living in Utopia develops; a feeling of self-fulfilment. Scale that up over a large number of people and you are a carrier of that paradise for all that's been predicted. More below.

Best wishes

Regularly eating chana (roasted chickpeas) gives you a good Ganesh tattva, which is the principle of innocence that powers your mooladhara chakra. A good mooladhara gives health to the prostate gland, womb, reproductive and excretory organs. Eating chana also improves the skin and hair, plus these other health benefits...
Happy Gut, Happy Mind - How To Thrive With This Meditation On Your Nabhi Chakra.
Happiness really is in your stomach. The state of the gut microbiome has been discovered to have an effect on mental health and has has been implicated in stress and depression. So one way to thrive mentally is to look after your gut. You can do this with the right diet and also by meditating on your Nabhi chakra starting with this...
Why It Ain't About The Money, Buddy.
It's well-known in Economics that economic wants are not satiable in general. Things only provide temporary relief. Get a better car or a better house and it won't be long before you're looking to upgrade. And so the cycle goes on. Climbing a ladder that leads no where. The Bhagavad Gita says: 'Yoga Kshema Vahamyaham'  (get yoga and everything else is included); explained here in 2 minutes by Shri Mataji...

"What do human beings seek? They seek peace and joy. They are not [really] seeking money. They are seeking money just to get peace and joy.
[But] Peace and joy are obtained on the support of dharma.
And the dharma is not one of outside but one of inside [in the stomach]."

December 22nd 1973, Nagpur (India).

It's likely due to a 'hot liver' . The hot liver may be diet-related eg. excessive coffee  or red meat; or it may be constitution (body-type) - related ie. Pitta (fire) in Ayurveda or  'right-sided'  in Sahaja Yoga.

Two remedies for 'hot liver' are:

Bandhamukta - Freeing Yourself. How To Stop Living Inside Your Head.

 


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

Bandhamukta - Freeing Yourself. How To Stop Living Inside Your Head.


Dear Friend,

I've got two word definitions for you today. One word describes something you may want less of; and the other, something you'll definitely want more of.

The first word is 'Recividism'. It's a term used in the justice system to refer to the tendency for someone released from jail to end up back in the slammer within a short period.

The second word, in Sanskrit, is 'Bandhamukta'. This word is made of 2 parts : 'Bandha' meaning  'a lock' and 'mukta' which means 'freedom' . So Bandhamukta means being free of locks or jail-breaking yourself.

The 'Jail' being referred to with both words, is the jail we each create for ourselves with our thinking habits. It's the tendency to run a movie inside our head which doesn't correspond to Reality.

This is partly responsible for the ups and downs we experience in life.

With your daily meditation, your kundalini is jail-breaking you to make you bandhamukta.

At the same time, due to force of mental habit, there's a backsliding or recidivism continuously taking place as you go about your busy day.

The result is that though the prison gates have been thrown wide open (kundalini awakening), a person may remain sitting hunched in the corner of their prison cell because of the false comfort of what is familiar to them.

Resist the temptation to remain as you are. Don't live inside your head all the time. More below. 

Also below: Using a candle flame to help you with eye-care; and, how not to let your past hold you back.

Best wishes

Trataka is the yogic technique of steadily gazing at a focal point through a candle flame without blinking until the eyes water. It's recommended as a way of improving concentration and eye-sight . It also, crucially, clears your back agnya chakra which can be a store of negative thinking and dwelling too much on the past.  Here's a demo of how it's done...
Your Past Is Another Country - Clearing Left Channel (Emotions).
You may sometimes wonder where all your yesterdays have gone. They may seem as distant as another country. The answer is that they are stored in your subconscious as memories. It's this which colours your impulses and emotions -  which are expressions of your left channel ('ida nadi'). Don't be trapped by your past, though. Here's a short guided meditation with affirmations to set yourself  free...
How To Stop Living Inside Your Head.
When your kundalini rises she takes you out of your head and connects you to the benevolent, self-organising principle of Nature ('paramachaitanya'). When that connection is sustained with daily meditation, then you get the experience of being supported, looked after and protected. But because of the persistence of the ego and conditionings the connection, like a poor wi-fi internet, keeps shutting down. Here's how to get out of the trap of your mind...

Quote of the Week
 

"[With group kundalini meditation], you compensate each other, complement each other, and a subtler side of the cosmos starts manifesting in you.
Your different kind of conditionings which are like shackles, binding you down, just open out and you become a free person – 'bandhamukta'. With that force everything breaks: your ego breaks, your conditioning breaks and you become one with the joy of life."

January 5th 1988, Ganapatipule (India).

"I know that it's sufficient to just sit for 10 -15minutes of meditation a day but I usually find myself sitting for a lot longer than that. Is longer better?"
In Reply:


It's not the length of time you sit for  meditation but rather the extent to which you experience your state of mental silence - thoughtless awareness.

If you can get into it in 5 minutes and sustain it for another 5 minutes, then that's better than sitting there for 20 minutes with your mindful.

The other measures of success are : 
  • How strongly you feel the vibes on your hands and at the top of your head.
  • How 'lifted up' you feel emotionally and mentally.
  • How your day 'flows' as a result of your meditation. Your meditation should have a noticeable effect on everything that's going on with you. The benefits 'seep' into everything : work/money, home, relationships.
