How to progress + Elixir + Meditation Retreat feedback

​Dear All,

How friendly is your relationship with your own kundalini? This may seem like a funny question but it holds the key to progressing and getting the most benefit from your meditation.

Below is a suggestion of how you can get a better rapport with your kundalini, which will be felt as a stronger feeling of vibes on the hands and at top of head.

Also, you'll know your meditation is having a real effect on you when a friend notices a radiance on your face and a shine in the eyes. How's that happening? Click here to find out.

Now, about the friendly attitude to your own kundalini: it's difficult to develop a genuine 'friendly' feeling towards something which cannot be seen (although can be felt) and seems so abstract.

It's much simpler to project the friendly attitude towards the meditation photo, which you may have noticed through certain experiences, is a real friend. To meet Shri Mataji in person was to feel the ocean waves of genuine kindness and generosity coloured with a great sense of humour and a microscopic benevolent insight into whoever she was facing. Some of this is captured in the photo.

When the sensitivity to vibes develops on the hands, the truth of this becomes immediately apparent when you hold your hands out towards the photo and straightaway can feel a 'cool breeze' flowing from it. If in doubt try with somebody else's photo.

This is the power of the meditation photo to support and nourish your meditation. To preserve this in the photo, a good way is to keep it in a glass photo frame and give it a 'bandhan' with a lit candle before you sit down for meditation. The bandhan in this case is made by moving the candle left to right; right to left in a horse-shoe shape in front of the photo three times.

The value of everything, literally everything, can be judged by the cool vibes you get on the hands.

Finally, if you managed to get down to Bloxham Farm on Saturday for the 1-day meditation retreat, then please spare 2 minutes and indicate (anonymously) the best bits and the bits that can be made better for the next time, by clicking here. Thanks!

See you at group meditation tomorrow.

How to nourish your kundalini's growth.

​Dear All,

Spread the love: here's how you can give 'self-realisation' to somebody in 3 minutes, anywhere. It can put a smile on their face and lift their mood.

1. Mentally raise your own kundalini and cover yourself with a bandhan (as done at group meditation).

2. The person can be sitting or standing; ask them to close their eyes and then slowly trace the path of their kundalini up the middle of the body through each of the chakras and then to the crown of the head. You can do this mentally or physically with your hand and repeat a few times.

3. To check that it's worked, you can either hold your hand above their head and feel for a coolness, or you may notice an increased coolness at the top of your own head.

4. Finish by mentally securing their kundalini at the top of their head and covering with a bandhan . Do the same for yourself.

This is one of those rare things that makes you richer, the more you give it away. And here (in 6 minutes) is why that is so - Click here.

Why you should look after your feet.

​Dear All,

Being tuned in to how you're feeling vibrationally and knowing how to change it through meditative practice is the key to managing the things that may seem to be outside of your control.

If you've got to the stage where you can feel the cool vibes above your head when you meditate, then there are two actions taking place.

Firstly, the vibes, like a gentle fountain of coolness, cascades onto your left and right sides and has a cleansing effect. This is how over time you'll notice that you become more centred and balanced.

Secondly, the kundalini's connection gets better at the crown chakra(sahasrara). This is when most people begin to notice the helpful coincidences.

The combination of these two builds up your confidence in yourself and you'll realise that any difficulties, set-backs, problems are all relative. It's just how you react to them that makes them so. This is what is called Maya or illusion.

To improve your vibes and vibrational sensitivity, the best way is through regular use of the footspa: resting feet for 10minutes in cool/cold , salt water in the evenings before bedtime.

The added benefit of the footspa, especially as the weather gets hotter, is that it takes out the build up of heat in the body that can make you feel 'jangly' and unsettled within yourself, which can lead to difficulty in getting a restful night's sleep.

Not enough time for meditation? Use these 2 mp3s on your phone.

​Dear All,

Here's a quick shortcut if you're not getting enough time to meditate:

Download these two mp3 mantra meditations(play this 1st & play this 2nd) to your phone and listen to them while walking, travelling or sitting at your desk at work. Listening can give an immediate boost to your kundalini and vibes and will make you feel great.

 

The first one has mantras for strengthening mooladhara and nabhi chakras(Ganesha atharvasheersha & Shri suktam) and the second one is to help open out your sahasrara chakra to give you a better connection. 

 

In case you missed info about mantras last week click here or about the 'Strange happening on Cauldwell street' Click here.

See you tomorrow at group meditation.

Using mantras to achieve a deeper and more transformative meditation

​Dear All,

The real power of the meditation photo (click to download) begins to show when you use mantras to clear your chakras.Below is your 'starter pack' for experimenting with mantras.

In last week's email: Your health guide on your finger tips, we saw how the chakras are coded on the fingers and by rubbing them you're able to clear a chakra.

This doesn't always work , however. Reason?

Life experiences, our family background and the general environment we move about in can leave deep-seated imprints on the chakras. Some of it good; some of it not so good. For example, the effect of a distressing experience in childhood that is reflected on the chakras is not going to go away with a finger rub.

The mantras work. They work in a way that they wouldn't work for somebody without kundalini awakening because the mantras - in sanskrit- are the 'language' of the kundalini's movement. It's the kundalini that delves deep into a chakra to clear it out.

Ultimately, you will get a deeper and more transformative meditation.

To begin: download this mp3 of mantra meditation to guide you in the pronunciation.

 

 

Download chakras&archetypes sheet to say the mantras along with the mp3. The mantra 'formula' is at the top of the sheet : "Om twameva...etc". For each chakra what you need to do is insert the name of the archetype eg . 'Ganesha' into <insert name> in the formula.

So the full mantra for the mooladhara chakra would be : "Om twameva sakshat, Shri Ganesha, Sakshat Shri Adi Shakti Mataji, Shri Nirmala Devi Namoh, Namah!"

That last part of the mantra shows why this works better while meditating in front of the meditation photo.

Why does the meditation photo work at all? There's a clue in this strange but true story (click here)

Your health guide on your finger tips.

Dear All,

​

Here's a tip for looking after yourself. 

Your chakras, which look after every aspect of your well-being are 'wired' into your finger tips, so whenever you feel pricking/tingling sensation on the fingers while meditating, just give the finger a rub  and you could be making yourself better in some way.

By the way, if the sensation is at the base of the fingers, then it's said to represent your father (right-hand) or mother (left-hand).

The photos of Shri Mataji's hands below provide a useful guide.

See you group meditation tomorrow.

Regards.
