Have an enjoyable holiday!

​Dear All,

As we round off 2017, here's hoping you've gotten something; even a little bit worthwhile, from having your eyes shut, as above, on Tuesdays in Chelsea, and/or at home, trying to achieve your 'thoughtless awareness', this past year. You'll be happy to know that it does get easier.

How? Apparently, the more people that are doing something, the easier it becomes for everybody else. That's according to a theory by Author & Biologist, Rupert Sheldrake, that there's a collective memory in Nature that we tap into[1]. This applies to sahaja yoga meditation and getting into thoughtlesss awareness.

Since the state of thoughtless awareness is the key to achieving everything you've ever wanted (- you may not know it just yet :o) ), here's a little something you can use as motivation to achieving even a few seconds of thoughtless awareness at a time, to make 2018 a transformative year for you.

Freedom, Happiness and Money, are, apparently, 3 of the top 10 things most people want but can't seem to get.* The other things are shown below, along with where they sit within us, with the promise that with the advantage you have of sahaja yoga meditation, you can open some doors within and without.

​

Tomorrow's is the last group meditation session of the 2017. We'll be back on 9th January. However, you can still keep in touch - I may still send out guided meditation & meditation music clips on our whatsapp group during the break. If you want to be included in the group then send the  whatsapp message 'Chelsea SY' and your first name to my mobile .

Have an enjoyable holiday!

Regards

From Effort to No Effort - a small tip on getting something very Big.

​Dear All,

No time to meditate? Below are 2 charts to give you a little encouragement in the right direction. The first one shows you the path to your success. And the second one is what some of you told me about the benefits you got from just trying a little bit.

If you're already meditating regularly, there's still something you can take away from both charts.

Chart 1:

​

​Here's that quote again from last week about why the state of thoughtless awareness in human beings is a big deal:

" But when you are inside that you are in thoughtless awareness. Then, not only that you are there, but you are everywhere, because that is the place, that is the point where you are really in universal… From there you are in contact with the Principle, with the Shakti, with the Power that permeates into every particle that is matter, into every thought that is emotion, into every planning and thinking of the whole world. You permeate into all the elements that have created this beautiful Earth. You permeate into earth; you permeate into Akasha [sky, ether], into teja [light], into sound."​ Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi , India, March 30th 1976.

(Chart 1 could represent any kind of evolutionary transition in species. For example: fish massing in shallow water and then developing 'feet' to become the first land mammals. See Tiktaalik)

Chart 2:

'How Has Sahaja Yoga Meditation Helped You'

​(Chart 2 is the result of a survey sent out earlier this year).

If you're really pushed for time in the morning, the least you could do is to raise your kundalini and put on a bandhan before leaving the house. Something is better than nothing, and you may even begin to to feel the postive effect of that. Click here for how to do it properly.

See you at group meditation tomorrow. By the way tomorrow's is the last but one session we're having this year. Tuesday 19th is our last meet for the year and then we're back January 9th. Try and finish 2017 on a high by coming to these 2 last sessions if you can make it.

How to impress the boss and get to where you want to go.

​Dear All,

Here's how to conquer Oxford Street and impress your boss/clients with your creativity and brilliance from doing this simple exercise, wherever and whenever.

First off, the 'Oxford street' we're talking about is the one in your head; of thoughts, moods and emotions that chase each other like a trail of London buses at a busy intersection with it's crowds of shoppers, and which doesn't help you to easily get to where you want to go.

And where do you want to go? Peace & Happiness, right?

So here's what you do: right there on the street, just stop! just stop and stand still - on the real Oxford street, people seem to do this all the time :o) . You could actually be at your desk at work, or out walking, or on the tube, or at home. Just cut into your train of thought and stop.

Shift your attention to the top of your head and hold it there as if you're balancing a ball on top of your head. Hold for 5 seconds; and it's as if you're holding your breath, but you're not - it's very gentle abdominal breathing that takes care of itself. Your back is straight. Let it go. Do another 5 seconds. Let it go . And then another 5 seconds.

Here's what will happen or should start happening: where your attention goes , your kundalini follows, so the kundalini's cool sensation will start to be felt at the top of the head. It's like working a muscle by repeated exercise. So try it wherever and whenever and you'll be developing your ability to achieve the 'thoughtless awareness' state.

When you then sit down for your dedicated 10 minutes of meditation, you'll find it much easier.

And about that increased creativity and brilliance; a scientific study on sahaja yoga meditation was published last year which shows that regular practice increases the grey matter  in your brain - basically your brain gets better. Click here to see the paper.

Some indication of how extraordinary being able to achieve thoughtless awareness is, even for only a few seconds at a time, is  given in this quote of Shri Mataji's from 1976 : 'You penetrate into matter' .

See you at group meditation tomorrow.

The answer lies in the palms of your hands.

​Dear All,

Whatever the issue you may be facing, the key to resolving it lies on the chakras and the chakras are reflected on your fingers.

Here's how to understand yourself better and be your own doctor. If you feel a tingling or numbness on any particular finger when held out in front of your meditation photo, then below is the  likely explanation of what it is and what to do about it in order to 'cure' yourself.

This is to be done along with your meditation.

'You look wonderful ! What have you been doing?'

​Dear All,

If you've ever had a 'gut-feeling' about something that turned out to be correct or experienced 'butterflies in the stomach' before an important meeting, then you know, instinctively, something that science has come to accept relatively recently: that the gut/stomach acts as a 'second brain'[1].

And that's not all. The pay-off for managing to achieve thoughtless awareness in your meditation, even if only for a few seconds at a time, is that vibes are then able to flow downwards through the fontanel at top of head into the stomach( nabhi chakra) where they break down into the 'subtle elements' ('tanmatra') and begin to improve your appearance (no matter how good you already look :o)  ).

The picture below shows what's actually happening and although the process is generally weak at this stage in our collective experience of sahaja yoga, and the effect therefore is not so mind-blowingly dramatic, there's huge potential in all that, as yet, untapped power of your kundalini. We're just getting a trickle of water for what will become a gushing river.

Further below is what you can do when you meditate to help your 'rejuvenation' and hopefully move us closer to a prediction about sahaja yoga, that in future people will no longer get sick or grow old[2].

​

​You can use your hands to channel vibes, so when meditating at home, spend a few minutes towards the end with left hand on lap to catch flow of vibes from meditation photo and direct into nabhi chakra by placing fingers of right hand on navel(belly-button), as we do at Tuesday group meditation.

And of course, check out this 7-minute video clip : click on  How Effects of Meditation Can Show on the Face.

Just so that you know I'm not making stuff up about people no longer getting sick or old, there are some science, sociology and historical pointers in links further down.

See you at group meditation tomorrow.

How to be Happier at Work.

​Dear All,

Have you ever stood up in the office and announced, with a beaming smile on your face: 'I can't believe I'm being paid to do this?'. You probably haven't.

The results of  two surveys published in the paper today says that two out of five people are unhappy at work and four out of five have anxiety.  To cope with this, the report says, people listen to music, watch TV, read a book, drink alcohol or exercise, which is fine - apart from maybe the sedating with alcohol- but all these things don't necessarily 'nourish the soul'.

This is why investing a little time in yourself daily to meditate can pay massive dividends in giving you a sense of purpose and fulfillment. The way this happens is by the integration that takes place between right swadisthana chakra (the attention/the liver), left heart chakra( the 'atma' or spirit/heart) and the sahasrara chakra(vibrations/brain - limbic system).

The reason why this works is because one of the main causes of the dissatisfaction people feel is due to a sense of inner dislocation, and the meditation fixes it by helping you to achieve a self-integration - described in 2 minutes here.

Try the suggested meditation in photo below.

​See you at group meditation tomorrow.

How to get Mental Clarity with this Simple Ayurveda Treatment + a 15min Biography.

​Dear All,

Have you tried the ghee (clarified butter) in your nose yet? Why would you want to do that?

Well, somebody described achieving thoughtless awareness in meditation as like ocean surfing - he lives in Sydney, Australia, by the way- on a good day, if you catch the wave just right then you can ride it for quite sometime. On other days it may be difficult to get a good wave at all. But the more practice you get; the more good rides you have.

Ghee up the nose is like waxing the surfboard so your feet don't slip and you can ride for longer. It's all to do with the chakra at the bridge of the nose, called 'Hamsa' chakra. The Hamsa is at the point in the head where the left and right channels cross-over and so represents a point of balance. If the hamsa is in a good state then it's easier to achieve that state of centred stillness(being in the present moment) that leads into thoughtless awareness.

And it's not just all about the meditation. If you ever feel congested in the head, have dryness in the nose -from sitting in a room with all the windows closed and the heating on (which is likely to be most of us as it gets colder); or if you're a singer, then administering a few drops of warm ghee in the nostrils before bedtime can lead to more mental clarity, relief from sinusitis and give better quality to your voice.

Click here for how to make ghee at home and click here for how to adminster it.

Here's something I sent out last Friday to those of you on the whatsapp group which I thought I'd email as well for those not on the group - It's a quick biography of Shri Mataji.

See you at group meditation tomorrow.
