Achieving Your Health, Wealth & Happiness By 10-Minutes Daily Thoughtless Awareness. What You Learned in 2025. Why 2026 May Be More Important. Dear Friend, Now might be a good time to hold on to your hat. The other day someone forwarded me a recent podcast interview between Emilio Ortiz and the well-known astrologer, Pam Gregory . The podcast discussion was about the profound changes we're all going to be experiencing, beginning 2026, as a result of a shift in a 12,000-year planetary cycle. It's easy to dismiss all this because how many people do you know, for example, who believe in newspaper star-sign horoscopes? Probably, not many. A possible reason for astrology's hit-and-miss with predictions about the future, is because Western astrology, in particular, is based on the Earth's seasons (tropical zodiac). It tends to be less accurate (here's why) in its predictions than Vedic astrology, which is based on the stars (sidereal zodiac). However, in the case of Pam Gregory's forecast about 2026 and beyond, both Western and Vedic astrology (see quote of the week below)  appear to be converging on the same massive changes in store for all of us. And what might these changes mean?  There's a faint echo of it in the festive and happy mood that takes hold at this time of year. So wouldn't it be nice if everywhere had a Christmas-feel to it all the time? And, just to remind you that with your daily kundalini meditation, you may already be steadily moving yourself in that direction. Over the course of 2025, here are some of the things you learned:  Water Works. Drinking to your Health & Longevity Fierce Love. How Your Sleep Helps Clearing Your Debts. How Your Stomach is Involved Purging Your Problems. How to Use the Power of Fire Root Cause. Happy Home, Happy You. 9 Tips.

But you can still continue to post questions to me @AnonymousQuestions which I'll try to respond to in the New Year. In the meantime, enjoy your holidays. Best wishes P.

Eat vibes!  Headed in the Right Direction  - Why Facing East at the Start of Your Day Can Make a Difference (a Meditation). I was once sat in on a lecture by an expert in Vastu Shastra ( the ancient Indian science of sacred architecture), who used a Lecher antenna to demonstrate the bio-energetic effect on a person of facing the different directions of the compass. It proved that facing east, the direction of the rising sun, can help you in untold ways at the beginning of the day. Get your compass out and listen to this short meditation with mantras to see how much better you begin to feel...  Spiral Time - What Goes Around Comes Around & Back to the Future in 2026. In Vedic astrology, time cycles repeatedly through four ages, called 'yugas'. Each yuga marks a different state of the world and of humanity. The best state is during Satya yuga , the 'age of Truth', which could be described as Utopia or a Golden age. The worst state is during Kali yuga, the 'age of Darkness', of which, apparently, we're currently experiencing the tail-end of. Satya yuga starts after Kali yuga is over. Here's a press conference during which the subject came up... Click Here to Download the Free Meditation App 'We Meditate' Popular Posts Others Are Reading. Quote of the Week   Question: Shri Mataji, would you say a few words about the forthcoming golden age? Shri Mataji:  Aquarius according to our (Indian) astrology* is the Kundalini.   They say that this age of Aquarius is very important, because this will change the lives of people. There was Kali Yuga (age of darkness), means the worst possible times - for our destruction. That was over.   Then comes Kruta Yuga (transition phase), I mean, overlapping. Now, in Kruta Yuga, this all-pervading power, they call it Paramchaitanya (self-organising principle of Nature), becomes active. It starts helping people to come along (spontaneous en masse kundalini -awakening) After this, is Satya Yuga. It’s the age of Truth (Golden age / age of Aquarius)" *Aquarius in Indian (Vedic) astrology is called 'Kumbha' which means the water pot, which also symbolizes the Kundalini which is the carrier of the waters of life. July 8th 1999, Press Conference, London Television Centre (England). I'd like to spend more time on my self-care through meditation but the busyness of life gets in the way. How can you get around that?  In Reply: I was in the same situation when I first started Sahaja yoga meditation.  The way I got around it was by doing the barest minimum to begin with. This was sometimes as little as just raising my Kundalini and putting on a bandhan, without sitting down, before rushing off to work. Then I progressed to standing still for a moment to see whether I could feel the vibes on my hands and head. When I reached my 'advanced' stage I was managing to sit down for a couple of minutes to see whether I could go mentally silent. By the time I began to feel the peace from these moments of mental silence I wanted to hold it a bit longer. Practice then became its own reward and I no longer had to try to make time for it. The bonus that came with this was that the meditation helped put me into a flow state for better handling the busyness of life.

Achieving Your Health, Wealth & Happiness By 10-Minutes Daily Thoughtless Awareness. Self-Empowerment @Work. How Integrating Your Personality Lifts You to Another Level. Dear Friend, The are 7 main areas of work-related stress, according to this NHS webpage about mental health. These include: fear of redundancy or changes, and difficult relationships with colleagues. At the top of the list, however, is a lack of control over your workload. What this is, is the feelings of powerlessness that comes when other people are calling the shots on things that affect you. This is why most people, ideally, would like to be their own boss. If this is you, then you don't have to wait around for that golden opportunity to become your own person. You can start it today. In case you hadn't noticed, one of the subtle effects of your daily kundalini meditation is that it is integrating your personality. What this means is that your heart (what you want), your head (what you understand), and your action, all begin to pull in the same direction. The empowering effect of this begins to show up in whatever circumstances you find yourself in. And you begin to flourish in new ways. More below. Also below: how just sitting on the ground can be your friend; and, how small efforts often can get you to where you want to be.  Best wishes P.

How to Rid Yourself of Negative Feelings - Left Channel Clearance. The next time you're feeling bad about something, sit on the ground and press your right hand on the ground. Then close your eyes. The Mother Earth acts like a sink that sucks away any negative energy on your left channel (emotions). Here's what else you can do to look after yourself ... Samadhi Abhyasa - Practice Makes Perfect; Not The 10,000 Hour Rule. While the '10,000 hour rule' may apply to the practice needed to perfect your back-hand at tennis, it doesn't apply to achieving your Samadhi state. This is where the flow of vibes you feel is almost continuous throughout your day.  All that's needed for that is Abhyasa, which you can do now with the following short meditation... Be the Boss - How Integrating Your Personality Lifts You to Another Level. There's a Sanskrit word, 'Samartha' used in yoga, that describes what you become when your personality is integrated. It means being a match for or being equal to any challenge facing you. You lean into your indomitable spirit.

Quote of the Week   "Now the essence of Sahasrara is integration.  By integration, you get the power to do what you understand, and you have power to feel happy with what you understand. So, you come to a stage where you develop this Nirananda (Nirvana). And this Nirananda you develop when you are absolutely the Spirit. In Nirananda state, there is no duality left. It's “advaita”, it's one personality. That is, you are completely integrated and the joy is not anymore dented – is complete. It hasn’t got a happiness and a sorrow aspect, but is just Joy. The Joy is not that you laugh loud, the Joy is not that you’re always smiling. It is the stillness, the quietude within your Self, the peace of your being, of your Spirit that asserts itself into vibrations which you feel. When you feel that peace, you feel like the light of the sun, the whole rays of that beauty spreading. " February 4th 1983, New Delhi (India). Sometimes I feel the vibes strongly when I meditate. Sometimes I don't feel much. Why is that?  In Reply: The reason we sometimes don't feel vibes very much when we meditate is because of the state we're in  when we sit down. If you're in a relatively balanced or centered state, then your kundalini flows better and you can easily feel the vibes. If you're not centered, which could be due to an agitation on your left side (emotions) or right side (mental), then your kundalini is occupied with trying to correct that and there is less flow. Two  things that will guarantee you a consistent flow of vibes with your meditation is to use the meditation photo and candle when possible, and to regularly footsoak. Also, use the technique for clearing left and right we use during the group meditation sessions.
