It Worked For Them.

Dear All,

You're in good company. The famous faces below all credit meditation with helping them become who they are and have been quoted. But guess which celebrity said what. It may be the look in the eye that says it all. When you've had a go at matching faces to quotes, you can compare it with the answers below(ps.).

See you at group meditation later.

9 Free Guided Meditations For Your Phone.

​Dear All,

Recent scientific research shows that regular meditation beefs up your DNA and protects you from ill-health, stress and depression at a molecular level. Other investigations show that the Giant Panda may soon not be with us. Say what? 

Yea, you read that right. The 2 facts are related. The rate of extinction in the plant and animal kingdom is growing exponentially in what is called the Halocene Extinction.   Meditation, according to Shri Mataji ,  is the evolutionary route to providing the human species with some ecological immunity, so that we don't all go the way of the Neanderthals. 

This is why meditation should be as easy and spontaneous as possible. Effortless, like breathing. And free. Remember the charts below:

​

If your meditation practice has fallen by the way side; no need to panic. You can still get with the program :o). 

Barry, the marathon-running, advertising exec who sits in the back row at Tuesday group meditation wanted the guided meditations on my youtube channel as mp3 audio files so that he can make use of them on his mobile. So what I've done is dump the Guided Meditations into my dropbox folder which I'm sharing with you - click here to download. 

​The next time you have a 5 or 10 minutes to spare, plug into one of the guided meditations and tune into your higher self.

See you at group meditation tomorrow. Trees grow better and faster in the forest.

3 Cool Tips

​Dear All,

It can be hard to get your meditative cool breeze when it's 29 c outside, so below are 3 quick and easy tips for keeping your inner and outer cool during this hot weather.

1. Do the footspa with cold water for the next couple of days in a row when you get home from work

    Click here for how to do a sahaj footspa . Lee at Tuesday group meditation sent me this link for getting Natural Sea Salt from Amazon. Both Lee and Justin said they had  powerful kundalini experiences when they did the footspa for the first time.

Benefits include: Coolness, lightness, mental clarity and better sleep.

2. Do icepack on the liver treatment.

   Click here for how to do ice pack treatment. In Ayurvedic medicine the health of the liver has an overall effect on mood and temperament and ultimately your general health. A cool liver is good so by cooling it down with ice pack you're helping yourself .

Benefits include: Coolness, relaxation, balanced feeling and better sleep.

3. Eat to keep cool - cucumber(salad) better than a curry.

Certain foods are kinder to your liver and others add internal heat to a hot day -see table below for choices.

How To Walk On Water

​

Dear All,

Two things are doing well at the moment: the Walt Disney - Pixar animated movie, The Incredibles 2, which raked in $180 million at the US box-office this weekend, making it the biggest launch since 'Finding Dory'. And Author and Historian, Yuval Noah Harari's books on the New York Times best-seller list.

Both touch on the potential for human beings to be more than we are at the moment(see Harari quote at bottom) and, if you're practicising sahaja yoga meditation daily, here's why this may be of passing interest to you.

 

When you meditate daily and begin to notice the gradual positive effect on you  - how the stress goes away and you get your inner peace - this is only due to a wee bit of the kundalini's potential. 

Everytime you touch the state of thoughtless awareness in your meditation then a few extra strands of this massive bundle of energy which is your kundalini rise up. The effect of this is that over time it becomes easier and easier to enter the state of mental silence. You also feel the vibes better and may start noticing how any issues you have start solving themselves automatically.

But this is still a tiny fraction of the potential effects of your kundalini's action. In the ancient literature about the kundalini, it is written that it gives you the 'ashta siddhis' or 8 supernormal abilities including Laghima : the ability to make your body almost weightless which implies the ability to walk on water or fly.

So far I haven't seen any sahaja yogi doing this :o) . Presumably, if this is an evolutionary progression, then Mother Nature doesn't want to freak us out with some weird abilities before we can handle it and everybody has got to the same stage.

Instead there are some gentler powers within the bounds of credibility and acceptance which you can start using straightaway - see below. If you needed any additional motivation to meditate - you too can become an Incredible - then this may be it.

See you at group meditation tomorrow.

"Biological engineering starts with the insight that we are far from realising the full potential of organic bodies. For 4 billion years natural selection has been tweaking and tickering with these bodies, so that we have gone from amoeba to reptiles to mammals to Sapiens. Yet there is no reason to think that Sapiens is the last station. Relatively small changes in genes, hormones and neurons were enough to transform Homo erectus - who could nothing more impressive than flint knives - into Homo sapiens, who produces spaceships and computers. Who knows what may be the outcome of a few more changes to our DNA." - Homo Deus, Yuval Noah Harari

Places You Must Go To and Experience

​Dear All,

Travel can help you find a missing part of yourself or at least reacquaint yourself with it. 

Summer holidays are coming up and apparently, according to a survey, some people return to the same place over and over. Ibiza is fun no doubt, but to really nourish your soul, why not go to Canojoharie or Saptashrungi this year instead.

Never heard of these places?  Well then, see pic below to find out where they are located, both within yourself and as a destination you can fly to.

The significance of these places is that they lie on the energy centres of the Mother Earth and if you can meditate in them then it's like sucking the source of vibes and accelerating your inner growth.

​

​ 

Further down are few notes about each of these locations.

See you at group meditation tomorrow.

Regards

Notes:

1. Dharamshala - Mcleod Ganj is where most visitors stay and sitting on a hotel balcony with a view of the himalayas (which is the sahasrara of the earth) while meditating can make it feel like the top of your head has been opened up and the coolness you feel is the coolness of the snowy sacred mountain. What is worked out by meditating in Sahasrara is worked out everywhere else below, so touch this place even once and see the result when you get back.

2.Canojoharie  in upstate New York is part of the right vishuddhi chakra, that represents communications and broadcast - America has the worlds highest number of lawyers  per head of population( 1 lawyer for every 300 people; compare France which is 1 for every 1,403 people) and Netflix (binge watching & box-sets) is rapidly colonising the TV viewing habits of millions around the world. Canojoharie is a mohawk word for ' the pot that cleans itself' which is reminiscent of the 'khumba', the water jar of Aquarius containing the 'water of life', which is the kundalini. We slept in a large tent all of us, in a field at night at a sahaja yoga seminar and we sensed the presence of the spirit of ancient owners of the land - native warriors on horseback - who had come to see who the intruders were and recognising Shri Mataji as the prophesied White Buffalo Calf Woman, let us be. 

3. Delphi - Flight from London lands in Athens in the early hours and journey to Delphi is by Taxi. Remember waking up from exhausted slumber in backseat as if prompted by the vibes as taxi winds its way up a cypress tree lined mountain road and time has disappeared and we are again back in ancient Greece of  distant memory. Is that Zeus we see or is it Apollo? Go to the Delphic ruins and meditate on Nabhi chakra. From Greece has sprung politics and economics that holds the world in thrall and it could be here that it gets fixed.

4. Saptashrungi - 'She who rests on the seven peaks' - is the Kundalini whose home is in India (Maharastra State). Travelling from Nasik in a hired Jeep, the mountain is seen in the distance. After a further one hour journey time, mountain is still seen at a distance, as if it moves away from us as we move towards it. The legend goes that Immortal Sage Markandeya meditated here to conquer death and  in the process called forth the first incarnation of the Mother of the Universe in the form of  Surabhi, the sacred cow (see White Buffalo Calf Woman above).

5. Great Rift Valley, Africa - a genetic trace shows that every human being on the planet is descended from just one female who lived in the area of the great rift valley 200,000 years ago. She has been called Eve. The first sound a baby hears in the womb is the mother's heartbeat which gives an instinct for percussive rhythm and so the drum was invented. With a distant tribal drum as backdrop sit in the fading light and cooling air and meditate on left swadisthana and Eve, the source of creation.

6. Ayers Rock( Uluru ) - due to continental drift - the land mass of Australia got separated from the Indian sub-continent but the sense of the sacred found in India was retained by the Aborigines as the Dreamtime . The red rock of Uluru is Mother Earth pushing out from  her womb the embodiment of a child's innocence, which is the elephant-headed deity of the Indian pantheon, Shri Ganesha. Although treks up the mountain are no longer permitted, merely sitting with a view of the mountain and meditating on mooladhara chakra can reconnect you to the source of innocence.
