Achieving Your Health, Wealth & Happiness By 10-Minutes Daily Thoughtless Awareness. Butterfly Effect. What To Do When You're Anxious. Dear Friend, In science, the  Butterfly Effect refers to how something as small as a butterfly flapping it's wings in Brazil, could lead to a stronger hurricane in the US. It's another way to say that in a connected system eg. the climate ( or you with your kundalini connection) a small change in one place can lead to big effects elsewhere. Butterflies also refers to the uneasy sensation you feel in your stomach when you're nervous or anxious. The nervousness or anxiety is typically about some external event or situation that you have no control over. However, whenever this happens to you just cover your stomach with your right hand while meditating and remain like this. What happens is that Your Nabhi chakra opens and the coolness of the kundalini is felt there; bringing a feeling of peace into the stomach. Soon a connection is formed between your Nabhi and Sahasrara chakra and you relax. The anxious feeling disappears and if you take a note later  of what happens, inevitably,  the original cause of the anxiety also disappears. So a small thing like giving vibes to your Nabhi can lead to a change in your external circumstances. This is not just limited to matters directly affecting you but also potentially works at a much wider level. More below.

Trick Or Treat ?- Why You Should Probably Save It Until Diwali. If you're the kind of person that likes to get into the Halloween spirit, which is 'celebrated' on Tuesday 31st October, then you should be aware that it's likely that they got the date wrong. According to the Indian lunar calendar (see below), the equivalent of Halloween is 'Naraka Chaturdashi' , a very dark night of the No /New Moon , that falls during the  Indian Diwali celebrations in November. Here's what you need to know...   Inner Peace - Calming Your  Stomach To Settle Yourself. The gut(stomach / viscera) acts like a 'second brain' and there's a two-way exchange of information that causes you to react to your environment in a certain way. Any feeling of anxiety about anything starts in the stomach. So to calm yourself down try paying attention to your stomach  ie . your Nabhi chakra and Void. Here's a mantra meditation you can use... Butterfly Effect - The World & What You Can Do About It. According to Sahaja Yoga, Your Void (Bhavasagara or 'Ocean of Illusion') is formed by the movement of the Swadisthana around the Nabhi chakra. So we all carry the state of the world around with us in our stomach. If there's a war somewhere; if there's anger and conflict, then it's reflected in us individually. Attend a rally if you want, far more effective though is to work on your inner peace. As Shri Mataji explains here, the world is for you to solve...  Popular Posts Others Are Reading. Quote of the Week   “The entire society is made like this where everybody is working in [a] troubled condition.  According to my thinking, there is nothing as such, for which a human being has to hurry up.  Now, how can [ that restless nature which is within you ] be treated? The treatment is that, as soon as Kundalini comes to your Nabhi Chakra, then peace will prevail. [A] Human being becomes peaceful." April 2nd 1986, Kolkata (India). "I've done Vipassana Meditation. I also practiced TM (Transcendental Meditation) and I'm a Reiki Master. I once went on a Shamanic retreat  and experimented with ayahuasca. Is it OK to combine this with Sahaja Yoga?" In Reply: It's up to you what you do, but in my experience if you mix any other practice with Sahaja yoga you shouldn't be surprised if you get mixed results. Before I discovered Sahaja yoga, I too was into other forms of meditation. When I got kundalini awakening I didn't drop the old practices straightway but tried to incorporate what I thought was the best of both. But, gradually, as the silent transformative effect of kundalini awakening began to work me free of past conditionings, my meditation practice became simpler and began to have real effects .  I also progressed much faster with the innate understanding (based on vibes) of what was beneficial for me and what wasn't. But that's just my journey. Personal experience is the best guide, so it's better to arrive at this in your own way.   Click Here For Tues/ Thurs Live Group Guided Meditation & Music (Audio) Living Your Best Life Mind Rest.

Achieving Your Health, Wealth & Happiness By 10-Minutes Daily Thoughtless Awareness. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Why You Should First Solve Yourself. Dear Friend, After your 'creature comforts'  - your physical needs for warmth, shelter and food - are taken care of, according to Maslow's Hierarchy, you've got other needs. These needs, including for love, belonging and recognition, can be stacked on top of each other to form an aspirational ladder that everyone is trying to climb. And there lies the opportunity for dissatisfaction - because we're social creatures and compare ourselves to others. However, right at the top of Maslow's Hierarchy is 'self-actualisation'. This could be described as a satisfaction with yourself. But who ever reaches there? There's enough to be getting on with at the lower levels: more things to buy; more things to do. Self-actualisation can wait. In the philosophy of Yoga, there's a slightly different take on human wanting. These are captured in the 4 Purusharthas, which are: 1. Dharma (Job), 2. Artha (Money), 3. Kama (Love), 4. Moksha (Freedom). The advantage of your Sahaja yoga practice is that it cuts to the chase: It takes you towards 'moksha', the 4th goal first. The kundalini's aim is to make you 'jivan-mukti' (freedom or moksha while living). What is discovered with this, is that all the other needs/wants are then automatically fulfilled with the progress in your kundalini meditation practice. The self-realisation (kundalini awakening) becomes the 'self-actualisation' of Maslow's Hierarchy and everything below flows from that. So, let your kundalini solve you (working out your different chakras) then your satisfaction is guaranteed. More below. Also below: Why not plan a trip to Kolkata?

Durga Puja - To Kolkata With Love (Planning Your Trip). Some of my fondest memories of Kolkata include slowly drifting down the Hooghly River (Ganges) on a boat and posing for photos with my Bengali 'family' outside the Victoria Memorial (both locations shown). Kolkata is the home of Durga Puja and Navaratri  (celebration of the Divine Feminine as the Warrior Goddess). It's also the centre Heart chakra of the world - the chakra of your fearlessness. Here's the Rough Guide advice about planning a trip... Sure-Footed - How To Strike A Balance When You're Being Pulled Left & Right In A Situation. If only life was straight-forward. But it ain't. So here's another tool in your Sahaj toolbox to help you choose the best path when being pulled in different directions. This is called 'Guru-pada' in Sanskrit, which means being able to correctly guide yourself. It comes from a combination of your Mooladhara chakra (wisdom) and the Void in your stomach ('gut instinct'). Here's the short meditation to develop this...   Mountain Top - First Solve Yourself  According to Positive Psychology, being happy is closely linked to your sense of purpose and meaning from life. But you are you're own meaning. Work it.  Or, rather let your kundalini work it. She gives you the state of 'yoga' (connection/ union) by 'solving you'  and placing you on a 'mountain top' (Sahasrara chakra), from where you have a much better view. Here's the meaning...  Popular Posts Others Are Reading. Quote of the Week   “First of all, you must remember that you are seekers of truth, have been seeking truth for ages, for years together, and now, I would say, for many lives, and now you have found it. So grab it and hold it fast, by understanding that this is what you wanted; you’ve got it now." June 4th 1995, Cabella Ligure  (Italy) "I felt a very pleasant sensation above my head ( not on top of my head) yesterday, which lasted for most of the day as I went about my business. What was that?" In Reply: Your Sahasrara chakra on top of your head is a bit like base camp of the Himalayas. There are chakras above your Sahasrara which your kundalini slowly tries to open. Take the experience you had as a sign of progress towards what she wants to achieve in you. You can help your self-development by regular use of this guided mantra meditation for above Sahasrara.
