“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” ― Rumi
When we are attracted to people, or we hate people we seldom think they are our unclaimed parts of our psyche we project onto others. This causes an obsession with the other…a hate or love which is so strong that it can somehow take over every aspect of our life. When we get entangled in this obsession we can either be open to transformation, or fall into the depths of despair or delusion. Love has been misused and misrepresented in the world and we don’t understand the concept at the higher consciousness level. That love can be divine and push us onto higher consciousness is seldom experienced, understood or even considered.
Through unconditional love we get a glimpse of the divine within. That we can get a glimpse of this in our ordinary consciousness can push us to transcend the mundane and taste the drunken bliss is a possibility we encounter each time we intensely love or hate somebody. Turn the intensity of the emotion inward, reclaim the energy that you have disowned and suppressed. Perhaps lifetimes of seeking and searching have brought you back to the point where you move towards reclaiming that lost part of you, which you mistakenly projected onto another. Mistakenly projected yes…the other is but your own window your mirror to yourself, the part of you that is eternal and that is self realisation or victory over your own self. Sadly we experience love as selfish outer conquests. Ego based love is all about controlling and pursuing and making the other to fit in with the idea of what we projected originally. Sadly this was the delusion and the illusion we created in our own mind so it shatters when the other cannot fit in or adjust to what our original image held.
This part of our psyche that Carl Jung refers to as the Shadow Self, the Anima or Animus, is our projection on to others.
If we watch and allow our emotions to grow and intensely express and let it out instead of suppressing we can experience its transformative power. Allow this projection to open up the suppressed energy and emotion, and acknowledge this emotion. When we feel guilty that we are angry or fight the emotion we cause more resistance and conflict with the hidden parts of our psyche which fights back for recognition. This part as you open up or reveal layer by layer is very transformative,but it can also shake the ground on which you stand and even cause an earthquake in your life. The more you resist the more it will fight back. In ways you cannot fathom it will try to break you…Physically emotionally mentally till you are ready to face and allow its expression..this disowned part of you this emotion,that’s hidden somewhere in myriad unheard stories, unshed tears, unexpressed love, anger and a whole range of other emotions only a human can experience, but has denied or not allowed themselves.
When we start peeling these deep emotions and stories we bring out from the recesses not only what we thought were dark emotions or desires but also creativity and great talents which were suppressed by our need to conform. Society and upbringing kept us limited and confined within rules and regulations and lifetimes of conditioning. Now we have to drop these to reach own authentic selves.
As we move through layers of darkness and emotion we finally see a glimpse of hope and that’s when we see only unconditional love and the oneness with both enemy and lover. Everyone appears the same we are able to see beyond the other's layers too..These layers I have added the other has too. As I remove my layers I see the true you too. The beauty of your soul shines through the muck you have gathered. My only plea is please drop your layers so you can see me too, that we are one and there s no enemy, no duality no separation. We are the same Essence enveloped in layers of Ego...guilt,shame,Judgement, Prejudice, anger, hatred,fear and so many other labels.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-8432506521285071862010-12-29T11:36:00.008+05:302011-02-03T10:39:36.098+05:30Unity Breath Meditation<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5g6Ub3QqhWnYPwfZ7VKx2M1nE2JB2tF1sPUhf3fwtexaBMLSX0vYok1va-Et9uCPDS-M4ww0uWXTQ0X3GL0s91_sHV7cynKyKbrGWAlIKZYxQ1qBvy1qwMve6KcSffid-5IdAb9N0b2M/s1600/P1060295.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5g6Ub3QqhWnYPwfZ7VKx2M1nE2JB2tF1sPUhf3fwtexaBMLSX0vYok1va-Et9uCPDS-M4ww0uWXTQ0X3GL0s91_sHV7cynKyKbrGWAlIKZYxQ1qBvy1qwMve6KcSffid-5IdAb9N0b2M/s320/P1060295.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555985116202114770" /></a><br /><strong>This is a meditation from the book Living in the heart by Drunvalo Melchizedek</strong>. I have been practising this meditation for the last 2 months.It has helped in all kinds of situations. Dropping the mind, not analysing things and just sending out love to all. Things just begin to fall in place with no efforts.<br /><br /><strong>The Unity Breath</strong><br /><br />Sri Yukteshwar went directly to the point, as I will now. He told me that in India no one would even consider approaching the divine without a certain state of mind and heart, and he gave me very specific instructions on exactly how to consciously connect to the divine and finally with God. Here is what he told me."You can be anywhere, but for me, I use an altar with a single candle to focus my mentalattention. I feel and know the presence of my teachers,and we all begin to breathe together, as one.<br />"Unify with the Divine Mother<br />"Let your attention shift to a place on Earth that you feel is the most<br />beautiful place in the world. It could be anywhere<br />—a mountain scene with trees, lakes and rivers; or an arid, sandy desert with almost no life —whatever <br />you perceive as beautiful. See as much detail as you can."For example, if your place is a mountain scene, see the mountains and the white, billowing clouds. See and sense the forest and the trees moving with the wind. See the animals—the deer and elk, little rabbits and squirrels. Look down and see the clear water of the rivers. Begin to feel love for this place and for all of nature. Continue to grow into this space of love with nature until your heart is beating with the warmth of your love.<br />"When the time feels right, send your love to the center of the Earth using your intention so that Mother Earth can directly feel the love you have for her. You can place your love into a small sphere to contain it and send it to the Mother if you wish, but it is your intention that is so important. Then wait, as a child. Wait until Mother Earth sends her love back to you and you can feel it. You are her child, and I know she loves you."As your Mother's love enters your body, open completely, allowing this love to move anywhere throughout your body. Let it enter all of your cells. Let it move throughout your lightbody. Let it move wherever it wishes to move. Feel this beautiful love your Mother has surrounded you with and<br />remain in this union with Mother Earth until it feels complete."<br />Unify with the Divine Father<br />"At the right moment, which only you can know, without breaking the love union with your Mother, look to your Father, to your Heavenly Father: Look to the rest of creation beyond the Earth. Place your attention on a night sky. See the Milky Way as it meanders across the heavens. Watch the planets and the Moon swirl around you and the Earth. Feel the Sun hidden beneath the Earth. Realize the incredible depth of space."Feel the love you have for the Father, for the Divine Father is the spirit<br />of all of creation, except the Divine Mother. And when this love becomes so<br />great that it just can't stay inside you any longer, let it move into the heavens<br />with your intention. Again, you can send your love into the heavens inside a small sphere, if you wish."Sri Yukteswar says to place your love in a small sphere and with<br />your intention send it into the heavens. He says to send it to the unity consciousness grid around the Earth. If you don't know whatthis grid is, then don't worry, just do as most of the indigenous peoples of the world do: send your love to the Sun. Like the grids, the Sun is connected to all the other suns or stars and eventually to all life everywhere. Some people, such as the Hopi of the Southwest of<br />the United States, send their love to the Great Central Sun, which is another concept that not everyone has but that is equally valid. Choose one—which one doesn't matter. The intent is for your love to reach all life everywhere.<br />Sri Yukteswar continued: <br />"Once your love has been sent into the heavens to the Divine Father, again you wait; you wait for the Father to send his love back to you. And of course, he will always do so. You are his child forever, and the Divine Father will always, always love you. And just like with the Mother's love, when you feel the love of the Divine Father enter your being, let it move anywhere it wants to. It is your Father's love,<br />and it is pure."<br />The Holy Trinity Is Alive<br />"At this moment something that rarely happens is manifesting: the Holy Trinity is alive on Earth. The Divine Mother and the Divine Father are joined with you in pure love and you, the Divine Child, complete the triangle."<br />According to Sri Yukteswar, it is only in this particular state of consciousness that God can be known directly And so the final step in this meditation is to become aware of the presence of God—all around you and within you.For this part of the meditation, Sri Yukteswar originally gave me a very complex way of being aware of God, but after speaking with many elders of various tribes around the world, I feel we can simplify the way to reach this final state of consciousness. It really is simple: Once you are in the Holy Trinity, you can achieve this experience by<br />simply opening your heart to the presence of God. For some reason that only God knows, in the Holy Trinity state the presence of God is easily perceivable.Sri Yukteswar gave me the name of this meditation: the Unity Breath. God is always everywhere, but humans do not always perceive God. The Unity Breath meditation takes you directly, consciously into God's presence. For some this state of consciousness is all that is necessary to complete all cycles created by life, or in another way of saying it, it is the doorway to approach all the sacred ceremonies of life, such as our birth into this world, sacred marriage and even death. According to the Native Americans, even the ceremonies of planting and harvesting crops require this particular connection to Great Spirit for the crops to grow and be healthy. The natural way is to cocreate with God, or Great Spirit, to assist in the cycles of nature to bring balance to life. According to the Bible we are the keepers of the Garden (or nature) as described in the story of Adam and Eve, and in this modem time we still are, but we have forgotten our purpose. Without this inner connection with<br />God we are separate and lost, hence this meditation of Sri Yukteswar is the opening to remember God and to enter and remember the sacred space of the heart.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-11704043596982559682010-07-23T19:52:00.001+05:302010-07-23T21:40:36.145+05:30On Children-Kahlil Gibran<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w3lcYU1qHyw/TEm-7G-BNLI/AAAAAAAACNI/H2ocC2NYObo/s1600/baby.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 103px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w3lcYU1qHyw/TEm-7G-BNLI/AAAAAAAACNI/H2ocC2NYObo/s320/baby.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497134742874698930" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Your children are not your children.<br />They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.<br />They come through you but not from you,<br />And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.<br /><br />You may give them your love but not your thoughts, <br />For they have their own thoughts.<br />You may house their bodies but not their souls,<br />For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, <br />which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.<br />You may strive to be like them, <br />but seek not to make them like you.<br />For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.<br /><br />You are the bows from which your children<br />as living arrows are sent forth.<br />The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, <br />and He bends you with His might <br />that His arrows may go swift and far.<br />Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;<br />For even as He loves the arrow that flies, <br />so He loves also the bow that is stable.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-5546101094671349362010-07-20T18:27:00.020+05:302010-07-27T21:55:24.406+05:30Energy Healing and the Chakras<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtx2sx9t8xS0svSZvsE4F1ftdwCKNonWJi81lGI7VF0FoUlJiGffR0HQT3GNVFr_sia8u75Awe1PLlcNkr7NuyjItyRhJpMJTHpT_49N_QD0iSGuQ0bc1v_X8sB-NYcS-7FCY52fFHrgo/s1600/DSCN0395.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtx2sx9t8xS0svSZvsE4F1ftdwCKNonWJi81lGI7VF0FoUlJiGffR0HQT3GNVFr_sia8u75Awe1PLlcNkr7NuyjItyRhJpMJTHpT_49N_QD0iSGuQ0bc1v_X8sB-NYcS-7FCY52fFHrgo/s320/DSCN0395.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496728584024068002" /></a><br /><em><blockquote>I can tell you that anything that happens in the physical body will happen in the pattern of the energy fields first</blockquote></em><br /><em><blockquote>The body is a self-healing organism, so it's really about clearing things out of the way so the body can heal itself</blockquote></em>-<strong>Barbara Brennan</strong> <br /><br />There are so many healing modalities and each has its share of devoted followers who swear by them. The healing techniques with their origin in the East mostly follow similiar basic principles. There is an initiation or an attunement by a master or guru and you are taught a set of techniques.They can all be clubbed under Energy Healing though they may have other names..Reiki,Pranic Healing,Theta Healing and so on. I always want solutions and I am ready to try any method if it gives results. I found too many good masters and teachers not open about healing techniques other than their own. If they were to just open up their horizons and limited concepts they would see the common ground they share. I like to simplify things back them up with research or undergo it experentially and not follow any one discipline to the T. As it is alternative healing is looked at very dubiously and by dividing into so many kinds we seem to be losing more credibility. <br />I have come to the realisation that energy or prana is in abundance and we cannot patent or copyright it under any name. We were born perfect and as babies we could tap into this abundant energy.As we were conditioned by our parents( and they before us) and society we lost this ability till our chakras were either blocked or under functioning. To unlearn and be like that child would be our true healing. To dance like a child, laugh without inhibitions, be in nature and connect with its vastness would be the most natural things to do yet so rare in these stressed times. That is why we need a healer. The healer is only a channel for that universal energy, they have no special powers..You also have that within you..you just need to remove the clutter within..simplify and be like a child.<br />Many healers themselves fall ill undergo operations for conditions they heal. Why would this happen you wonder. This is because they are not able to transmute the diseased energy they are healing in people. Most of the time we think we are doing the healing and function from our egos.. This does not allow the universal energy to come in and we actually use our own energies and feel depleted. To surrender to the vast sea of energy,to be a hollow flute and produce music in the hands of the great musician..is the key. <br />All of us can learn to be aware of this energy if we are aware. A small example of this would be ..if u tap a depressed person on his shoulders he may not respond..whereas if he s joy ful he will feel your presence even as you approach him from behind. His aura is contracted in the former case and expanded in the latter case. To sense the flow of energy we have to be sensitized to the subtle sensations. In meditation and yoga awareness is taught and this opens up your perception of the subtle sensations. As you grow more sensitized to this you feel the heat, prickly , creepy or rushing sensations of energy engulfing you or coursing through your body. If you learn a healing discipline it helps to feel the aura and the energy flowing through your hands. We have to learn this as we have lost the ability to be aware of our own bodies and the the wonders it can work. Observing a child is enough to get us back to the original state. Most children under 5 are in high energy states.<br />Just like the sufis whirl, children do it too...we stop them from doing this. This helps them to correct energetic imbalances and connect to the source. Watch dogs, how they shake themselves sometimes. They just re-adjust their aura. Yet we do not know why we feel tired in the company of some people..and energised by someone else s presence. If you observe subtle changes in your energy levels you will be amazed at how we are influenced by the energy around us, the energy of our thoughts and the food we eat. That is the reason why the in India so much stress is put on kind of food..High energy and low energy foods and there is no emphasis on vitamins,carbs etc. This is because the realisation was at a subtle energetic level and not at the physical level. As the energy body affects the physical...it would be essential to pay more attention to our energy levels.<br />A simple exercise to protect your aura if you are in the presence of energy draining people is to imagine a cocoon of light ( any colour) around you. also rub your hands together..feel the heat and energy between your palms..till you can feel a ball of energy..now smooth it over your body as if your filling your aura so that there are no leaks or breaks through which energy can escape.<br /><br />Recommended reading : <strong><em>Hands of Light - Barbara Brennan</em></strong>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-9305595328843476442010-07-19T00:42:00.003+05:302010-07-19T00:53:11.171+05:30On Pain - Kahlil Gibran<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPYAm6voNgvsrOye3vFgOzeN-9tBmL0oKYTDmRgdHFegvnMs_psqvZI8klfKAaAWWTym1PhuN2k1oQQ03WCPMqp1J5BJwtntHjt6p-RTQ5UDlQ-2z0Qjohc1XkrK_NYgd1RLUTBW2aRok/s1600/8317_148514516262_515761262_3115422_4523196_n.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 235px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPYAm6voNgvsrOye3vFgOzeN-9tBmL0oKYTDmRgdHFegvnMs_psqvZI8klfKAaAWWTym1PhuN2k1oQQ03WCPMqp1J5BJwtntHjt6p-RTQ5UDlQ-2z0Qjohc1XkrK_NYgd1RLUTBW2aRok/s320/8317_148514516262_515761262_3115422_4523196_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495328542677608306" /></a><br /><br /><br />Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.<br />Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free. </em></strong></blockquote>-<em><strong>Catherine Ponder</strong></em><br /><br />Forgiveness is an essential for moving ahead on any path. Forgive not because you have been told so but for being liberated from your self created prison of hatred.<br /><br />In many of the sessions I have conducted I see Forgiveness and Healing closely intertwined.When we die we carry only our emotional energies and knowledge we gathered... the material possessions, titles we leave behind..We take with us grudges, resentment, hatred and revengeful attitudes alongwith the positive energies like love,compassion,gratitude etc. The energies we carry in our subconscious mind attract the same drama and similiar players. The drama continues endlessly till one or the other party consciously breaks the pattern. To let go is not noble but a clever thing to do, if you want to break the pattern. This does not mean you keep quiet and resent silently. Letting go and forgiving means to forgive from within.When it no more has any negative residue you have truly forgiven and let it go. <br /><br />While doing PlR sessions in case of relationship issues..usually the pattern is carried over from other life times where the reverse was true..the victim was the abuser and vice versa. Normally when the victim sees this truth and polar opposite lifetime..they instantly feel remorse and forgive quite easily. So subconsciously the guilt was allowing them to play out the victim role in this life in reaction to the past pattern. Till we know why we have chosen to be the victim we cannot break such a pattern. If we can see this experentially it is very simple. Otherwise we have to believe in karma and take responsibility for whatever we are facing. If we know whatever we face is a part of our own doing we can forgive. <br /><br />The links that we create through hatred are far stronger than love. Perhaps this is why our world is filled with so much violence and suffering. We are all playing subconscious patterns of guilt,revenge,victimhood and abuse. Here everyone is suffering including the abuser because of an unconscious agreement. He also does not know why he is playing the role. <br />If we only made bonds of love..the world would reflect that. The world around us is a reflection of what we create in our minds with anger, revenge and resentment from lifetime to lifetime. As this cycle goes on, it becomes more mindless as we do not know where it began.<br />If one party releases,the bond snaps..and releases both even if the other has not shifted his consciousness. Even by forgiving in our own minds with full awareness we can release the bond. We do not always need to ask for foriveness in person. Maybe this is why Catholics have the ritual of confession before a priest. If it is done with feeling and true emotion it works to erase the pattern.<br />At a soul level no one is making us do things or suffer. We are responsible and we chose to undergo this. We are spirits here to learn lessons. The more patterns you break and the more you see them disappear the more you are convinced this is an interactive matrix and responds to your emotions,feelings and thoughts. Before you do it, it looks so tough, once you have done it, and the pattern disappears you wonder what stopped you from doing it sooner. The bubble bursts and you see its illusionary nature. The toughest lessons are usually karmic so look deeper at those difficult relationships around you and ask yourself who do I still need to forgive ?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-75841603674381552972010-07-14T21:33:00.010+05:302010-07-17T23:35:05.532+05:30Deja Vu and visiting places of former lifetimes<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkBuV9w4CiQWAvCupxjlsvcXE798nONLqXxx5qSBQKowkwJNZ1Dkhk-t8DWfCgNO-zR213VMavvDr6_ysBknbl2P_bo4ZtzjXkjZ41mXXGVDleRdHCKVjqdQvFeWYueRciouyxK7GEdIc/s1600/IMG_5162.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkBuV9w4CiQWAvCupxjlsvcXE798nONLqXxx5qSBQKowkwJNZ1Dkhk-t8DWfCgNO-zR213VMavvDr6_ysBknbl2P_bo4ZtzjXkjZ41mXXGVDleRdHCKVjqdQvFeWYueRciouyxK7GEdIc/s320/IMG_5162.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493824196036227378" /></a><br /><br /><em><strong><blockquote>Deja vu is an authentic experience, but it is only a fragment of a far greater phenomenon -- reincarnation</blockquote>-Osho </strong></em><br /><br /><br /><br />How many times have we visited a new place and felt we have been there before..the strong deja vu feeling. Usually we dismiss this feeling. Somewhere in 2002-03, on one of my official visits to Rajasthan I had this strange feeling which I dismissed. It took me almost 6-7 years to make the connection and fit in the missing pieces.<br /><br />We were on a management audit assignment to a factory in Chittor, Rajasthan. I always loved visiting the historical forts and museums. I had already visited the well preserved Jaipur palaces and museums by then. Chittor is famous for the Victory fort and Rani Padmini's palace. If I knew what was left of Rani Padmini s palace I would have given it a miss. It was a bare set of walls and a building....stripped of all its past glory unlike the Jaipur and Jodhpur palaces. Such a place would hardly evoke any strong emotion. Infact we were quite disappointed to see this place.<br /><br /> Somehow as I walked into what remained of the palace, I was gripped by strong feelings of sadness and a deep connectedness. It was a very low feeling and there was no logical reason for it. It was desolate and empty, maybe very few people visited this place. I ignored and dismissed this feeling as we all normally do. The driver led us to the back of the palace and showed us some water body and some vacant space. He said the famous <em><strong>Jauhar</strong></em> ( group suicide in times of war) was performed at this site. I thought maybe the eery, low feeling might be connected to that and just wanted to get away from the place. I never thought of this incident till much later in 2009 while undergoing a PLR session I saw my life in Rajasthan in the 1300s. <br />The session was more kinaesthetic ( feelings, sensations and emotions) than visual. <br />The feelings and emotions were undeniably alien so was the personality I assumed. I was a Rajasthani woman in my thirties..dressed in a ghagra and I was taken to a scene where i was jumping into the fire committing <strong><em>Jauhar</em></strong>. I said i had to sacrifice to protect my family honour, a concept I have personally never identified with in this life. I said this with a strange conviction and with no fear at all. In this life in sharp contrast I have been afraid of fire and getting burned always. I have a birth mark on the inner part of my left foot that resembles a scar left by acid.<br />In the past life I could feel the burning sensation on my left foot only..as if my soul left the body as soon as the body started burning.I could recall a Muslim invasion and that we were defeated in battle and so the women had taken this extreme step to escape further torture and humiliation.<br /><br />I later researched on the historical facts <br /><br /><strong>Battle with Sultan Alauddin Khilji in 1303 AD.</strong><br /><em>Sultan Alauddin Khilji – the ruler of Delhi - was so seduced by the beauty of Queen Rani Padmini, whose face he only had a glimpse of through the reflection in a mirror, that he chose to attack Chittorgarh. It was a battle that the Rajputs knew they had no chance of winning given the overwhelming force of Sultan Khilji’s army. In anticipation of the loss, Rani Padmini, along with all the other women of the fort, committed jauhar. 30,000 women are said to have committed jauhar at this time – the largest mass suicide in history. With nothing left to come back to, all the men in the fort donned saffron robes and marched into battle with Sultan Khilji to face certain death. In total, 50,000 people are said to have lost their lives in this battle. I also found that the jauhar was committed in the underground cellars of the palace and not on the outside like the driver had told us.<br /><br />While Sultan Khilji was successful in conquering Chittaurgarh, he did not get what he really came for – i.e. Rani Padmini. Following Sultan Kilji’s death,Chittaurgarh was regained by the Rajputs.<br /> </em><br /><strong><em><br />Jauhar</em></strong>-<em>The term is extended to describe the occasional practice of mass suicide carried out in medieval times by Rajput women and men. Mass self-immolation by women was called Jauhar. This was usually done before or at the same time their husbands, brothers, fathers and sons rode out in a charge to meet their attackers and certain death</em>- wikipedia<br /><br />The building that stands today is a reconstruction this could explain my initial disappointment to see the place.<br />Perhaps, I was one of the 30,000 women who jumped into the fire that day.

The usual fare carried down from grandmother to grandchildren. There were tales of girls trying to contact spirits through the ouija board and being terrorised by some spirit who refused to go. All this kept me away from even letting the possibility of doing something like this,even enter my head.Then there was Hollywood with its horror movies just adding to the fears. <br />Through a series of events that unfolded in 2007,my fears turned to curiosity,then to being open and finally belief that we continue to exist in a separate dimension a vibration away. When I was working in UK,there was a Spiritualist church down the street where we lived. I passed by this single storeyed structure everyday..and always thought it was something spooky and to do with Satanic worship. These preconceived notions came from my Christian upbringing, where things can have only two explanations..either its God or the Devil s work. Who decides which work is which.There s no space to question or reason. Its either in the Book (Bible) or you ignore it and its Satan's work. So I had this same attitude of just looking away from this place, till I happened to read a book by the famous British medium Tony Stockwell. Tony was a psychic since he was a small boy and his mother never disbelieved him. This helped him hone his skills and now he is a very popular medium. His book just dispelled a lot of doubts and fears I was harbouring. So the next thing, I did was to muster enough courage to go to this church one cold winter evening.<br />I was in for a pleasant surprise as the whole place was alive with cheerful and loving countenances and hardly spooky. They welcomed me and it looked like I had landed at some family gathering. When I introduced myself and said I was Indian..they surprised me all the more by saying what can we tell you about spirituality, you come from India the land of spirituality. I had to just act as if I knew what they meant, I had no clue what they were talking about.<br />There was a stage and an audience of around 50-60 people...all white faces..I was the odd brown face...not that anyone made me feel left out. This public gathering happened twice weekly and they had a guest medium give messages to the loved ones of people who had passed away. I was just curious and had no expectation of receiving any messages that day..The medium was a thorough gentleman the typical Brit..around 60 years..He seemed to be an experienced medium. He started with a message.. <blockquote><em>I can hear and see an elderly gentleman with grey hair and seated on an easy reclining chair..old fashioned with his hands behind his head. He tells me this is his favourite position, but it looks like a rather uncomfortable position to me </em></blockquote>... It sure reminded me of a loved one, long since dead..I wasnt aware of the protocol and I was also skeptic and doubtful so I just waited for him to give more clues..oops I d missed it ..I was supposed to lift my hand..as the message was not taken he just went on with other messages. Strangely I felt a knawing sense of guilt with each message being taken by someone or the other for not putting my hand up. The whole evening went on and he have maybe 30 odd messages. All of them were taken by someone in the audience. He gave them such touching messages..most of them were cases of young deaths..in accidents and fatal diseases. I was visibly shaken and emotional as this has happened without any expectation. My grandfather had died in 1988 almost 20 years back. The description had matched him so well and I had let it go cause i was testing and waiting for more clues.<br />After the session I went backstage and met the medium and told him how sorry I was and that it was for me. He said this old man was trying hard to get across and was sending you so much love..maybe you can come again to get a message.<br />I went back twice to get no messages. The 4th time I went I was lucky..I sat in the front row so I should not get overlooked,as if spirit is restricted by any of this.<br />The guest medium was a lady this time...very soft spoken almost like a fairy tale grandmother with a shock of white hair. She hardly looked the part and I was not expecting much anyway. She started with a few messages , she had a different way of operating..she would choose the area in the audience where the loved one was seated ..Somehow this was not always very easy as she went off mark sometimes with the positioning. So when she chose an old man sitting 3 rows behind me but diagonally opposite..i was pretty disinterested with what she asked him...she said i can see this milk selling depot. The man had no clue and was racking his brains as his expressions showed to get at anything remotely connected to this. He was sorry he said I dont remember anything like this...<blockquote><em>In my grandparents time when i was little boy we had a horse carriage deliver milk in bottles..</em></blockquote>thats about all he could remember. So I thought poor lady is off the mark. Then she said something that almost instantly made me stand up with my hand raised as if I had been pushed out of my seat..this time I didnt want to lose my chance..so many spirits must be whispering in her ears she will just move on to the next message..What she said was something to the effect of...<em><blockquote>I can see a white building,single storeyed where they have a primitive way of selling milk. People go with containers to buy milk. This looks like a third world country</blockquote></em>. And that was enough..I had this flash of memory back to the early eighties..<em><strong>Calcutta, India where I grew up, queing up with my grandfather to buy milk at a Mother diary depot with a steel container</strong></em>. Not sure if spirit had helped me make that connection. This time I did not waste the chance. She started..<strong><em><blockquote>I have a lady here..she's about 70 she s saying she had 4 children and was a happy woman . She sang while she worked.. She had a problem with her throat or chest when she died..the medium was indicating her throat and chest region</blockquote></em></strong>...<strong><blockquote><em>I sprang up and started saying thats my grandmother..</em></blockquote></strong>She admonished me for revealing too much. They like coming up with all the details..and do not want you to interfere. I kept quiet and sat down..very excited. A few more details she gave and then she said something so beautiful I was deeply touched. She said..<strong><em><blockquote>Your grandmother wants to tell you she loves you a lot and is beside you..and now i can see her touch your right cheek..</blockquote></em></strong><strong><em>Oh that was so close and I could feel nothing, nothing at all..But the way it all happened that day I didnt have a single skeptical thought. My doubts were erased for all time to come. Indeed there s more to life than what we know or perceive and I did not need any further proof</em></strong>. There was so much love and compassion all around and energy..it could not be Devil's or Satan's work at least. Maybe there is a relevant scientific explanation and it is not some magic or trickery..maybe we are not equipped to measure this phenomenon. Just like any theory that takes time to be proved..it is just a matter of time ..waiting to be discovered by science.<br />Later I went on to read more books by others and the common experiences these mediums shared only went on to strengthen my ideas. It is a great thing that the West is so open and always researches the paranormal so that we can read and clear so many doubts and drop being superstitious.<br />However, a client of mine recently mentioned something which set me thinking..that India was where all this began. She mentioned how the Theosophical society and Madame Blavatsky started its work in India and how performing seances was very common in her ancestral home in Calcutta and how her granfather wrote a book on the Afterlife in Bengali, almost a 100 years back detailing what a medium should do to call a spirit and all such details of conducting a seance. This practise she said the British took back with them. I have heard how during the Raj bored officers wives would entertain themselves with seances and the occult.<br />Ok , now I had heard most of this and studied it in my History textbook but never co-related the two. So this is what the man at the spirituality church seemed to be telling me how there was no need to introduce me to this concept as I was an Indian.. Far from the truth, as usual being a modern indian who just aped the west..I knew nothing of all this till recently. Yet again, one more part of our culture repackaged and taught to us.<br />I came to Bombay after that and found channeling to be quite popular among a certain kind of South Bombay elite. That is a different story as this is more like channeling great masters and spirit guides,unlike what i saw in UK. Also would like to add a fact that till the late 1940s this kind of activity was illegal in the UK and was conducted in underground circles as it was considered blasphemous. Not sure what we look at this as..I think we just choose to ignore it as we do with so much of our culture,we have given up to the west to improve upon whilst we sit back and adopt all their Capitalistic, materialistic ways. Change is inevitable, so I am not complaining..we indeed come full circle the snake biting its own tail.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-92184043647232504832010-07-07T19:45:00.011+05:302010-07-07T21:27:04.655+05:30Why are we judgemental ?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi85weM9MRi3IduQJ82KSXxm52w9QhAVWIpfNvXnX5sqdu3eltcZADjNSa0t3-IqCSb5B1b5KQJT0slJOjEmnms76-Dt1Zj_cjq-mI4ze06CchTnIyIhyOWd9DoaLiOihuY-6SZDECSDB0/s1600/Vatican6.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi85weM9MRi3IduQJ82KSXxm52w9QhAVWIpfNvXnX5sqdu3eltcZADjNSa0t3-IqCSb5B1b5KQJT0slJOjEmnms76-Dt1Zj_cjq-mI4ze06CchTnIyIhyOWd9DoaLiOihuY-6SZDECSDB0/s320/Vatican6.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491192469684726018" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><em><strong>“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you-Matthew 7:1”</strong></em><br /><br />Haven't we all been judgemental at several points in our life.Circumstances make the man.There was a time I stayed away from certain people because they never satisfied my idea of moral conduct. I have come a long way and realised morals are a part of our own personal conditioning. Not everybody has your idea of morality. What is morality to me is prudishness to the other. Through the ages, moral codes change dramatically..there's no constant. It is just something few people have agreed to believe and adhere to for a certain period of time.<br /><br />As we grow spiritually we realise this truth that we are all essentially the same and just playing parts in this grand illusion, this drama.My sessions and the subjects have been a good teacher. I ve gained a lot from them too as they may have from me.<br /><br />A sure sign of spiritual evolution is not having the need to judge the other by our narrow standards. What we judge in others is a part of us most of the time..but we cannot see it in ourselves..Usually the mirror is distorted and quite magnified so we dont realise it.<br /><br />I have seen varied past lives both others and mine..It is quite a comedy that the saint in this life could be the prostitute in the other..What we classify as morality is not what spirit or the soul values. Spirit or the soul values love, sacrifice, compassion and such qualities. I have seen myself as an Egyptian, a Buddhist a Hindu and so on...It would be such a blessing if everyone had the insight to see this. We would not have had so much violence in the world. Too many lives have been lost for religion. What we hold on to dearly in one life we lose, and what we judge we become.<br />Seeing a few past lives has opened my eyes and I cannot judge others on the basis of religion or morals even if I wanted to.I always sat on this moral high horse because of the numerous religious lives I had.I still have a lot to work on.<br />Realising that it was only a conditioning I carried from several past lives took me time. Similiarly we have so many samskaras we carry from this and past lives. When we live in awareness we know what we are doing is coming from our own thinking or from that of our parents or society or the subconscious. <br />We live in an unconscious society where we are always in a doped out state. We carry on in a rut, dulling our senses with work or TV. Most of what we do is reactive or conditioned. We hardly live and enjoy the moment..there's always a sense of urgency, a next goal, a next promotion, a new conquest. In this doing we lost Being. So its hardly a surprise to not know where our prime motivators are coming from.<br />How many of us are still living someone else s unfulfilled dream ? Parents condition children to continue what they were conditioned to do..some make the children do what they could not...an endless, mindless cycle. Also with the kind of crazy world we have created we dont think for a second ..Wait, stop why am i doing this at all..<br />Do I want this ? Do I mean what I am saying or am I just reacting to something like an addiction,a habit. Its like an endless program. Its a looping program..when can we cut the pattern. Till we understand where its coming from there's no respite.<br /><br />When you give this a serious thought and consciously undertake this awareness exercise..you will drop unnecessary conditioning you have gathered at least from this life.<br />Past life ones embedded in your subconscious may be tougher to uproot as the roots are in your subconscious. Persistence pays..A simple meditation of watching the breath in awareness can always keep you in the moment ..that way you dont create unecessary karma by reacting unconsciously..you act in awareness. Meditation is not blanking out and doing nothing..its serious business..being in total present moment awareness. Just watch your thoughts, be a witness to your breath and watch your bodily sensations and your emotions.<br />Its tough at the start as we've learnt to space out and detach from our bodies through the day to fight boredom at work, a nagging wife, a tyrant boss. That is why being in the body in complete awareness is seriously hard work at the start. As you deprogram and relearn you realise this is your true state of being to be connected body,mind and soul. In this state there is no way you can do anything wrong. Your heart and head is in alignment and there is no conflict. Sadly in our left brained world we value intellect to emotion and do away with it in our schools. Creativity is suppressed and we promote mediocrity. We learn to obey rather than differ. We are almost like mass produced clones.<br /><br />Forced morals are ways of keeping individuals from thinking for themselves. This kind of a thinking has made us judgemental,prejudicial and repressed.<br /><br />In recent years more and more young people are getting disillusioned with their empty lives. The bubble has burst for them and they want to get out and do something more than just living selfishly. So many people come to me to explore their life purpose. They know there is more to life than satisfying their narrow material goals. <br /><br />In this new thinking there is an acceptance of people who are different from themselves,as they understand everyone has a different path to follow. We can only share what we experienced on our path,we cannot force our way on others. Every one has a unique path..the beauty is that we are all heading home along different ways. Life is an experience and we have to play the part well, to do that,you need to know your part. If we were meant to be clones..why would we have such myriad experiences. So live life in each moment in full awareness without judging the other. He has his path, his obstacles his circumstances. You do yourself the greatest service by continuing your way doing your part best.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-1961962476224042342010-07-06T00:10:00.005+05:302010-07-06T00:47:34.558+05:30Khalil Gibran's been a favourite from school days.. thanks to a dear friend who introduced me to his collected works.

In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.”- Oscar Wilde</strong><br /><br />Does the soul choose its vocation ? Do we choose our parents ? Do we come back to fulfill unfulfilled desires..Do we carry over skills and talents from life to life..<br /><br />A session I had with a singer answered all these questions. This lady had a bad marriage and wanted to know why she got attracted to and married her ex-husband. The relationship was unequal and mismatched and probably doomed from the start. We all see such marriages around us and wonder what made him/ her marry such a good for nothing. So after she moved out of the abusive relationship and had broken this pattern(karmic relationship) she wanted to know more about the subconscious reasons for the traumatic relationship.<br /><br />When I met her she had overcome a lot of the trauma and was in a loving and supportive relationship and looked confident in her career as a singer. It was very easy to put her into the trance as she was very open to the session.<br /><br />The life she recalled was in Rajasthan in the 1950 s. Her descriptions were vivid and detailed. She was a part of a music troupe that travelled around the country performing. She could see a lot of musicians and singers accompanying her.<br />She was in love with one of the musicians who was married and so their relationship was a secret. She recognised him as her ex-husband in this life.<br /><br />They travelled to a region in East India to give a performance. She discovers she's pregnant and is very happy..The musician does not want a public scandal and he poisons her..she has an abortion and becomes mentally unstable. In her depression she refuses to perform. The troupe abandons her and returns home. She roams the streets like a beggar and one day in the market place is rescued by a kind soul.<br /><br />She recognises this man as her present life grandfather, who looks a lot younger. <br />He's a doctor who takes the lady home and gives her refuge and also some medical treatment. The singer in time befriends the doctor's daughter,who is none other than her mother in this life. Though the family takes good care of her she stays depressed and mentally unstable. In a fit of madness one day she leaves and jumps in front of a train. When I move her forward she's desperately waiting for the doctor's daughter to get married to be born there..<br /><br /> I asked her why did you choose her as your mother. She says,she was the only one who cared for me in that life.Its a touching and poignant tale of how we as souls crave a little love and affection and can traverse death to reconnect.<br /><br />She spoke to her mother and aunt after the session and verified all the details of events before her birth ( years, location,names). Her aunt was so touched that she had tears as she heard the experience.<br /><br />In this life this lady is an accomplished singer and has fought all odds to continue her talents from that life. Her voice and her style has amazed the people she meets. <br />After the session,she says each time she sings her personality undergoes a transformation and she's transported into a different era a different time. She sings from her soul and so touches people's hearts.Perhaps this is why we call music soulful..<br />In that traumatic experience a part of her was splintered which she regained. The shamans call this soul retrieval. After all we are just energy and the trauma repressed a part of her soul energy..which she released during the session or assimilated into her present life. How many times do we feel that emptiness..that strange sadness..Is it a part of our own soul that we are searching ?<br /><br />How many of our great artistes carry their talents from their past lives? Mozart or any of the prodigies are good examples of how its more the inherent than conditioning that determines us.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-15705568078951284712010-07-03T20:56:00.011+05:302010-07-05T00:19:00.842+05:30Is it your Past life or a Parallel life<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzqz8XmkQfnTHBvNhdWo2wzOlsAPMnVInP00hjJz-CRsIEsB0cACiBUrf3nuL_azZVEcQSBkggWKi5QZVatOLT67yOxlM_ZM46kpssynKprWPZ3jTBeczWM6xPLmxXokWz80k4QT6Kftg/s1600/P1040085.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzqz8XmkQfnTHBvNhdWo2wzOlsAPMnVInP00hjJz-CRsIEsB0cACiBUrf3nuL_azZVEcQSBkggWKi5QZVatOLT67yOxlM_ZM46kpssynKprWPZ3jTBeczWM6xPLmxXokWz80k4QT6Kftg/s320/P1040085.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490032090968352498" /></a><br /><br /><blockquote><em>To see a World in a Grain of Sand <br />And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, <br />Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand <br />And Eternity in an hour-William Blake</em></blockquote><br /><br />This theory always confounds me.I think its taking root in my mind now. It's more a part of my experience now, then it was a few years back. I always loved reading about the Parallel universes theory and time being an illusion. Somehow my 3 dimensional existence failed to allow me to comprehend this.<br /><br />While conducting past life regression sessions it would not cease to surprise that the sessions were interactive rather than stagnant parts of history. I could make the subject look at the environment as if they were transported to that time period. It was not like a movie which was being reviewed,this would logically be the case if it was something that had happened in the past. Can we mould and change these lives and impact them..As we impact this life are we changing the other lives..Are we having several parallel existences..Its fascinating and throws up too many questions.. Sometimes when we get depressed for no reason is a parallel self really suffering..Is it a bleedthrough of emotions.<br /><br />I was reading Carl Jung's concept that it's the Western idea of looking at time as past, present and future in a linear fashion..the east looks at it in a very different way as if it was happening all at once. These Eastern concepts will get us to the truth as Science and Quantum Physics is discovering today. <br /><br />Even in Eastern healing traditions like Reiki..we use a symbol to traverse time and space to connect with the subject( Distance healing). It can be used to heal past and future events by connecting through the third eye. Is the past just a vibration away ? How do clairvoyants and remote viewers see into the future..Are they just accessing a certain dimension that is existing simultaneously. There are too many anomalies if time is linear...deja vu, bleed throughs, prophetic dreams,clairvoyance.<br /><br />This got me thinking that in Hindi we use the same word for yesterday and tomorrow-KAL... there s no differentiation between yesterday and tomorrow..As a child I would always wonder and often get confused..about this ( I learnt English before Hindi). I did some research and found Punjabi and bengali have the similiar usage.I havent checked the etymyology of these words. Perhaps this simple word holds a profound truth.<br /><br />Maybe we will prove this in the near future that time is an illusion and past lives are just parallel lives..facets of the multidimensional being that we are..Just like a diamond with its many faces so are we. When we connect all these split parts of our soul we will regain our true self, our identity as a soul who was never born and never dies.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-59706487937960945122010-06-26T20:01:00.018+05:302010-10-07T13:06:29.155+05:30Guides and Masters contact<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk375J_TiONZAXA7NGpafp2NMr0HxBoSuy87ORmdcObU1nqRUYRFkNFI3IMv0bWX-J6s8epGBPaH2o505GNEQfDLcq6-25iIpa5fq0lvt6NMkmm1zNmUbKhkDF_nL1IfknHlQo952sdeM/s1600/Fairygoldlight.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 279px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk375J_TiONZAXA7NGpafp2NMr0HxBoSuy87ORmdcObU1nqRUYRFkNFI3IMv0bWX-J6s8epGBPaH2o505GNEQfDLcq6-25iIpa5fq0lvt6NMkmm1zNmUbKhkDF_nL1IfknHlQo952sdeM/s320/Fairygoldlight.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487107899376307490" /></a><br /><br /><br />I am adding a few details to this post after I got some valuable feedback from a friend who does not know much about how a PLR session works. She was confused with all the information:<br /><br />A typical session takes you to a past life which is a part of your subconscious memory. After the past life is experienced the spirit leaves the body at death to continue to its spiritual realm where it meets guides and masters and even loved ones. This is a superconscious experience and is very uplifting.In this case it was an experience of meeting a loved one in the spiritual realm. <br />I would like to clarify that this is not a seance and no medium was involved. The healer I mentioned is a highly spiritual person and was there to give energy to our session and she helped by praying to Masters like Jesus,Mary,Sai and others for protection. She is highly intuitive and could feel their presence. The subject in a trance was also able to see them. I was just witnessing this and could not sense or see anything myself.The process used was to relax the subject and take him to a trance state where he was aware of a parallel dimension. No time during this session was he unaware or unconscious of his immediate surroundings. This is true for all PLR sessions. You retain complete memory of all that happened during the session.<br />-----------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Some synchronistic events just led me to yesterday's session...I was reading a lot about the spirit world lately, Slyvia Browne s Visits from the Afterlife. She clears a lot of doubts on ghosts and spirits and how to distinguish the two. Fear mostly keeps us from exploring this unknown territory..I started as a skeptic went on to be fearful till I was led to a few eye opening books and experiences..which have helped deprogram my mind conditioned by Hollywood horror movies ( Exorcist and the like). Though I am still not totally out of this loop, I have this inner knowing and trust that I am guided and nothing can come along that I am not meant to handle.<br /><br /> So when I got a call day before from a fellow therapist who wanted to do a PLR session to talk with his now deceased brother I did not hesitate in accepting.I was glad I said yes and I had no time to think this over( may have retracted if I discussed this with friends) as he wanted it done the very next day. There was a definite plan in all this and I could see it..me reading the books and being led to this. For him too this was divinely planned. He was doing a session with someone when the lady who had not known his brother,said he was there and described him. His brother (through the lady ) asked him to do a session directly with him.<br /><br />When he named 2 persons who could conduct the session his brother wanted the session through me..so thats how it happened. He also gave the dates we could have it on.His brother had passed away 8 years back or now as I would like to say passed onto the other side..for it is but a vibration or a dimension away only.<br /><br />On the day we had a wonderful energy healer with us too to pep up the energy during the session. I needed it as I was seemingly nervous and unsure. We started off quite fine and he fell into a deep trance without much effort on my part. Our healer could feel his brother's presence much before we started the session. All this was quite new to me so I had to take her word for it. She was clairvoyant and I wanted to believe it was all taken care of.<br /><br />I led him into a past life he shared with his brother...where he saw himself as a villager who gave spiritual discourses..I led him to his death bed and he died. Hewas out of his body he floated up into a light blue haze and was almost immediately welcomed by his brother. His brother looked radiant and healthy ( he had suffered quite a lot when he died, 8 years back )...and was dressed in a white robe. He also looked much larger and taller which seemed to startle the subject. Then he saw him reduce to normal size...This phenomena has been seen by many who go into this state. Spirits in this particular realm seem to be at least 8-10 Feet in size.<br />He was visibly very touched and happy..and I had to get him to ask questions he had handed over to me before the session. Its quite an experience to meet a loved one after so long and understandably your mind would just go blank by the sheer emotion of it. He asked his brother how it was there..and what they did in that part.<br />Apparently unlike popular belief people in heaven are not just sitting around and doing nothing..They seem to be working very hard..and they enjoy the work they do and not like us who crib and wait for the weekends..We kept getting the answer we work very hard..so the energy healer and me were curious to know what work this was. They teach and educate on the higher planes and also do a lot of energy work and also help the earth.On where they derive their energy we got the reply from the sun and the planets and even from the earth.<br />We asked him who his friends were..and he in reply just took him along and showed him a host of master guides..Quite the skeptic I discounted this..at the start. But when they kept coming through the session and the clairvoyant could also see them <strong>I had to give in to the possibility that the limits of my perception are indeed quite narrow and my ego cannot just negate what others perceive. </strong>He could see Jesus, Sai Baba, Mary, Mother Theresa and a multitude of thousands of people. We had so much protection and blessing and our healer could see gold dust falling on the three of us. Thats quite a touching scene and 2 out of the 3 could see the same thing so what was I doubting anyway. <br />We went through the list of questions he had handed over ..as they are confidential I wont write about them. His brother had messages for the 3 of us and this just went to reinforce my belief in whatever I had read and believed but not experienced. He said that we were doing great work and should continue and also thanked us which brought tears to my eyes. He also saw many of his loved ones and friends who were on the other side as if they were there and just needed to be asked to come..The healers husband who is deceased also, whom she asked for came along and talked of his work. This convinced her about her regular conversations with him. <br />Normally I direct the course of the session but this was different..The session ended because his brother had to leave and get back to his work. The energy healer helped him come back out of the deep state by healing his third eye. <br />We were visibly quite dazed after this out of the world experience but also could see how simple this was and so unlike the spooky stories we are used to. We have a lot of protection on hand,we just need to ask for it, and no negative entity can come through if we pray and ask for guidance and protection. So much love and compassion was around that it eliminated all traces of fear and doubt. <br /><br />We live in a world of duality good and bad, seen and unseen, reside side by side. You cannot accept the physical and deny the non physical..nor accept the external and avoid the internal depth of your mind or soul. So on this journey I have crossed another threshold of experiencing the divine.<br /><br />I am looking forward to another session next month with the same people. In the interim I am preparing a list of questions I can ask these masters and spirit guides on the other side.<br /><em><strong><br /><br />Life Between Lives (LBL) </strong></em>: <em>This was developed and researched by Dr. Michael Newton author of the books Journey of souls and Destiny of Souls.<br /><br />During the life between lives session,you will learn why you have chosen your current life and the lessons that life brings to you. In this very high state of perception and understanding you are able to find answers such as “Why am I here?”, “Where do I come from”, “Who am I?” and “What is my life’s purpose?”<br /><br />During the session you will be able to have direct contact with your spirit guides and learn from their loving advice on how to manage and move on in life. This is a very profound experience and is one of the components available during a spiritual regression.</em><br /><br /><em>If you are interested in knowing more on the spirit world I would recommend reading<br />Afterlife and Visits from the Afterlife By Slyvia Browne and the medium Tony Stockwell's autobiography Spirited.</em>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-40575060305085601392010-06-16T11:51:00.008+05:302010-07-04T18:30:16.190+05:30Starseeds<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaDw97rw_-MFOMz4xCehl8RXeB2lbImXuoE869xtCQ_EUjhIYPiVwTrqOAg0vhT4AgbZ66VXKGQ95QoeCrH6Vy1xU7eHUZzSgC_daa3IIK7PTEXLwvPaMK1gDCXjyOhPA9cOz0U8-N7ns/s1600/P1030501.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaDw97rw_-MFOMz4xCehl8RXeB2lbImXuoE869xtCQ_EUjhIYPiVwTrqOAg0vhT4AgbZ66VXKGQ95QoeCrH6Vy1xU7eHUZzSgC_daa3IIK7PTEXLwvPaMK1gDCXjyOhPA9cOz0U8-N7ns/s320/P1030501.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483258632050042882" /></a><br />I have been led to read about this topic..kind of coincidence to get the right material and also to meet some interesting people.<br /><br />I met this plr therapist I know who has had several subjects coming up with lives on other planets..Initially he had no clue and as I had already read about it I sent him a lot of writings on this. He also introduced me to one of his subjects who had an amazing PLR experience on another plane. The subject himself had no belief in past lives or aliens so was quite surprised. A rational professional in a good position in a famous company..could have no reason to fake this. I had a chance to question him and he answered with so much sincerity and in such details. I could see he knew nothing about the possibility of starseeds but described what he saw quite well..it struck a cord as I had read a lot on this before but dismissed it as wishful thinking and science fiction.<br /><br />After this I started reading Keepers of the Garden by Dolores Cannon who regressed subjects in the 80 s and chanced upon a subject with interesting accounts...Apparently as per this book and so much more material that is emerging from channeling and from the collective subconscious, we are originally not from earth ourselves..and who we refer to as Gods are aliens who seeded us ..The story has striking resemblances to The Bible story and stories that several tribal civilizations and Egyptians referred to of Beings coming from the stars to guide and teach.Her account is very different from any science fiction book as it was more detailed and unfathomable.<br />It read more like a history taking or an investigation. There s nothing to add credibility in terms of reports but uncannily resembles many a UFO abductee report in places. Some of it is indeed scary as though they claim these aliens want our good and have been always watching us it, smacks of control and interferance. In the account the subject recalls past lives on earth. Later however he mentions its his first life here and he has been imprinted with the past lives to better adjust to earth life..such that he cannot distinguish if it was his own or a borrowed life..Also makes me wonder are our thoughts are own or planted. The subconscious patterns we carry are so elusive could they be planted like this.<br /><br /><br />Is it ego that makes us complacent and turn a blind eye to this possibility..how stupid can we be to think that this huge universe with so many galaxies and suns has only one small earth with life..Or is it that we are just technically not yet there to catch any communication. Also why would anyone want to establish open communication with a self destructive,egoistic lot who are annihiliating themselves with toxins, chemicals and nuclear warfare. If I were an alien I would stay away..There s so much fear and insecurity in the best of us that our societies are built on this fear. Are we shifting yet ? Lots of youngsters born after 1970 are having spiritual experiences. Hope this is a positive sign and we are indeed moving in consciousness..with the help of these people helping us from among us.<br /><br />This is an excerpt from a website , there are thousands of them on the internet :<br /><br />Starseeds:<br /><br /><br />Those who carry encoded information and purpose from beyond Earth. <br />Their 'destiny' was always meant to be fulflled here, but their true home of origin is not here. <br /><br /><br />They will always return to lives or states of being outside of Earth, even if they have many lives as humankind. <br /> <br />They are often pathcutters and troubleshooters by nature. Intelligent and staunch beings. <br /><br /><br />Part of their inner purpose is so cemented into their nature, that once the starseed sets upon a course, they are hard to move. Because they want to complete their mission and return home. <br /><br /><br />It's as simple as that.<br /> <br />As things move forward here on Earth, towards a new evolutionary leap, many starseeds are restless and find it hard to function. <br />They can't settle to things easily, for codings within their cellular structure are activating left, right and center. <br /><br /><br />They see that this world is in turmoil and are in two minds about it. To actively participate and unlock their absolute potential, and on the other hand, to quit and call it a day. Because they find the nature of humans hard to adapt to, and generally base.<br /> <br />This is a hard time to unlock one's potential, whilst one is still seeking the quiet and gentle existence. Because much of the human energy is difficult for the starseed to cope with. <br /><br /><br />It is time to dig down very deep within and find the incredible well of strength that exists within each one of you. Do not look for a harsh and brittle strength, for it is not. <br />Seek down through the roots of your being to the deep, slow flowing river, that is the legacy of your origin.<br /><br /><strong><em><blockquote>Link to Dolores Cannons books <br />http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KWRSTCSN<br /> </blockquote></em></strong>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-62320269819506333312009-11-06T01:02:00.006+05:302010-07-19T00:24:54.247+05:30A New Earth-Eckhart Tolle<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWUhpo54uOKKlOEaWj7dLXiv9lrjO2MRwBBfW74L2LnMsDyH37UrV4DU9Y9CAz2jJtUAG0EqLd1JvLUyACDeYF5i2TdMdjl_ivwxMkRMzxBx8RGFYdR_ivsEHcNl049TPgF_1pNoWxijQ/s1600-h/House+in+Venice.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWUhpo54uOKKlOEaWj7dLXiv9lrjO2MRwBBfW74L2LnMsDyH37UrV4DU9Y9CAz2jJtUAG0EqLd1JvLUyACDeYF5i2TdMdjl_ivwxMkRMzxBx8RGFYdR_ivsEHcNl049TPgF_1pNoWxijQ/s320/House+in+Venice.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400705888559986290" /></a><br />A significant portion of the earth’s population will soon recognize, if they haven’t already done so, that humanity is now faced with a stark choice: Evolve or die. A still relatively small but rapidly growing percentage of humanity is already experiencing within themselves the breakup of the old egoic mind patterns and the emergence of a new dimension of consciousness.<br />What is arising now is not a new belief system, a new religion,spiritual ideology, or mythology. We are coming to the end not only of mythologies but also of ideologies and belief systems. The change goes deeper than the content of your mind, deeper than your thoughts. In fact, at the heart of the new consciousness is the transcendence of thought, the newfound ability of rising above thought, of realizing a dimension within yourself that is infinitely more vast than thought. You then no longer derive your identity, your sense of who you are, from the incessant stream of<br />thinking that in the old consciousness you take to be yourself. What a liberation to realize that the “voice in my head” is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that. The awareness that is prior to thought, the space in which the thought – or the emotion or sense perception happens.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-9082178584771243412009-11-06T00:51:00.002+05:302009-11-06T01:00:46.116+05:30A LESSON IN POWER AND FORGIVENESS<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUvFdNE7aHVCXUio3KFS4ZgCXWKh-CtKW5E3Rve9Ld8OsU-oub72DxbIs6JblvcGyycdJVsjCKlvtBHqQEwzV6pnAPS-A08opxI3PCybDD8J6Rj8FuL3QhgI4IliZaPtprKYG5wOIShsA/s1600-h/P1000825.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUvFdNE7aHVCXUio3KFS4ZgCXWKh-CtKW5E3Rve9Ld8OsU-oub72DxbIs6JblvcGyycdJVsjCKlvtBHqQEwzV6pnAPS-A08opxI3PCybDD8J6Rj8FuL3QhgI4IliZaPtprKYG5wOIShsA/s320/P1000825.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400704033162030706" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Sara is a successful professional who wants to explore her personal relationship with her husband and reasons for her denial of her feminity and sexuality. She always tends to act as a parent to her husband. She is now tired of playing this role and wants to understand this.<br /><br />In the First session conducted earlier she sees herself as a young girl around 17 who is waiting for her lover in the woods. They plan to run away and get married against his parents wishes. He betrays her and never turns up. A group of men spot her and try to abuse her. She runs away and jumps off a cliff, plunging to her death in the water. She makes no attempt to save herself and dies with anger towards her lover and a desire to punish him. He is her husband in this life. She still wants to punish him so in a way is still not letting go because of the betrayal.<br />In my next session I help her release the trauma of drowning in the water and the fear of running from the men in the woods. I take her to her Life between Life stage where she’s greeted by her mother who passed away…..years ago. I ask her to view a polar opposite life and she sees herself as a king with many wives. One of the wives is her husband again. The king barely gives her any notice. She pines for his love and dies childless and unloved. At this point she s repentant and I ask her if she still feels like she must punish her husband. She says no and now she s released all her anger, sense of betrayal and bitter feeling towards him. Now I take her to the garden where she meets the consciousness of her husband and they just feel love for each other.<br />In a subsequent session we explored the sexuality aspect and she is taken to a life as a Geisha. She sees herself as a woman with a powdered and painted face. Her patron is her husband again. He is a rich man but he is married. He promises to marry her but never does it. There are other affairs she has and at the end of her live she feels over used and wasted. Again we see a streak of betrayal and this time because he cannot leave his family. She dies an old woman, alone and sad. This is the life from which her indifference to sex arose.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-6675710807930292932009-11-06T00:34:00.003+05:302009-11-06T00:43:40.839+05:30<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip9Ie0xVYwBZCijv9ntzWApKwbM_sdb5QOsZysLL7F_M42gtUq31ZZsBXCbStm4dpQdRkjohz7Ez5govMbV_VafnG_0lNZ-SjJuby-0_9JyThQf_7RB2ytkyS1TsjLMRX2eEtiu4KW3zc/s1600-h/Lido+beach...JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip9Ie0xVYwBZCijv9ntzWApKwbM_sdb5QOsZysLL7F_M42gtUq31ZZsBXCbStm4dpQdRkjohz7Ez5govMbV_VafnG_0lNZ-SjJuby-0_9JyThQf_7RB2ytkyS1TsjLMRX2eEtiu4KW3zc/s320/Lido+beach...JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400699687418584626" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />CASE: 1 FEAR OF IMPENDING DOOM OR CALAMITY AND A KARMIC RELATIONSHIP<br /><br />R is in her 30s always fears the worst and prepares herself. This has led to lot of anxiety.<br /><br />First Regression session:<br /><br />I took her through the Initial Induction with the Progressive Relaxation, Tunnel and Bridge Techniques. She felt herself floating at first, then engulfed in water as if she were in a whirl pool. The feelings were strong and she described it well.<br />She was being tossed and turned in the water. I tried to make her see more details but she could not see much else. So I ended the session.<br /><br />Second Regression session:<br /><br />Next day we resumed the session and after the induction she moved into the same scene. She wore black clothing and was middle aged and not married. She was in Spain in the 1920s. Her name was Melissa and I later looked up the name on Google and it meant<br /> “ Honey Bee” in Greek and was also used in Spain. I could link this only later that her name in the present life means Honey. <br />The soul indeed works as per a plan and is immortal.<br /><br />This time she could see herself on a ship or boat. And the boat capsizes and she falls in the water. She experiences the struggle and waters engulfing her. I helped her to connect to the feelings in her body an release it…..She feels a release and weightlessness and she left the body. After this she sees more of her life in Spain as a teenager, feeling hopelessness, loneliness and as a need to take her life. There is some kind of calamity or war scene from which she flees and so are many people around her. She takes refuge in a shop. I take her forward and she try to make her see her home. She says her home looks like a church. Later after the session was over she came to a conclusion that she was a nun in that life and always wore black clothes. This life explains her fear of calamities or mishaps. On further discussing I found that although she is a Hindu in this life and had no Christian influence she had a strong urge to be a nun at 13 and also suicidal feelings. In this life too she’ s a very spiritual person. <br /><br />Next I tried to explore her karmic relationship with her husband.<br /><br />She moves into an earlier lifetime where she is in Belgium in the 1800s. She sees herself along with her present day husband at a fair. They are teenagers enjoying themselves on rides. She is very happy. Then I moved her to her death scene…When I move her forward we come to a dungeon or prison where she is being tortured. Later I found on the net, that human torture was common in Belgium. She dies feels herself rise above the body. I ask her to describe her body. She says she looks pretty wearing a white dress and chestnut brown hair.<br /><br />Next I ask her to see who is there in the Afterlife to greet her. She finds her husband in her present life waiting there for her. He s waiting for her so that they can reincarnate again and meet again. I ask her to communicate with him and try to understand what he wants of her. He says he just wants her to be happy. After this I let them be together for some time..<br /><br />When I move her on to the garden for healing she finds herself playing and very happy. After this I bring her out of the regression.<br /><br />The best part of this session was the connection she saw with her husband and how he had waited to incarnate with her. Although they had an arranged marriage they have a very ideal relationship and are very supportive of each other.<br /><br />What I could see was how wonderful the soul's plan is . How it weaves a plot and enacts this karmic drama. We believe we are planning our life now but we have already made our plans…this explains the déjà vu experiences we have or the instant recognition we feel when we meet some people for the first time.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-8804211516840667632009-11-02T12:13:00.010+05:302010-07-04T20:15:45.265+05:30My experience as a healer of past lives<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZjT5BMjEq_iMEr5PmmhnqPWkD2wR6PmG5f2xWwnSqUJQlnmLEi8ZaZS-JsQ7PH7cLbzT7PGexojeagw527ICZBSikJE2eshonZq8MeUWWwiSed1-SDR0rJ6RPxUYKIKYdMjPEyWOUlgA/s1600-h/Durga+Puja-10-07+017.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZjT5BMjEq_iMEr5PmmhnqPWkD2wR6PmG5f2xWwnSqUJQlnmLEi8ZaZS-JsQ7PH7cLbzT7PGexojeagw527ICZBSikJE2eshonZq8MeUWWwiSed1-SDR0rJ6RPxUYKIKYdMjPEyWOUlgA/s320/Durga+Puja-10-07+017.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399429504296558706" /></a><br /><em><blockquote><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><blockquote></blockquote><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzY5gYicbKY"></a><br /><strong>Patterns- Simon & Garfunkel</strong><br /><br />My eyes can dimly see<br />The pattern of my life<br />And the puzzle that is me.<br /><br /><strong>From the moment of my birth<br />To the instant of my death,<br />There are patterns I must follow<br />Just as I must breathe each breath.<br />Like a rat in a maze<br />The path before me lies,<br />And the pattern never alters<br />Until the rat dies.</strong><br />And the pattern still remains<br />On the wall where darkness fell,<br />And it's fitting that it should,<br />For in darkness I must dwell.<br />Like the color of my skin,<br />Or the day that I grow old,<br />My life is made of patterns<br />That can scarcely be controlled</blockquote></em><br /><br />I have not written for a long time now. I was busy with the regression sessions. I feel like I ve been doing this forever now..though its been only a few months. Its been a healing experience and has opened up so much to me. <br /><br />I have done around 20 cases now and some of them were very interesting. Most of the people who came to me on their own mirrored my issues. When I see a change in their lives after the sessions, I feel an unparalleled joy which is truly out of this world. My conviction becomes stronger. I have also been exploring my own past lives and getting a lot of insight and solutions to my own issues. <br /><br />I always believe in the final healing that takes place. If it heals any method is good. I do not want to convince anyone about the historical authenticity of these cases. Some cases dont cease to amaze me when the dates , events, geographical details are so accurate at other times I see the details are all mixed and there are a lot of anomalies in dates etc. All I can say is this therapy is just a way your soul expresses to you the reasons behind certain patterns in your life and heals any repressed emotions which may have transformed into illness or is already a chronic ailment...So the Healing is what is important.<br /><br />Research has shown how the subconscious mind is tied to your body and how the patterns influence our conscious actions. Whether the memories are related to past lives or genetics is still a debate.<br /><br />An ordinary past life session explores typical patterns in our lives. These patterns are lessons for the soul. The outside world is just our lessons. The challenges it represents are part of our learning. If we fail to understand the lesson we are faced with bigger challenges till we learn to face and overcome it. Once the understanding arises these challenges just disappear from our life.<br />So the first thing is to examine the pattern ...failed relationships, chronic illness, bad bosses and so on..for e.g you leave a job because you had a tough time with the boss and then the next job is a worse experience and so on. The lesson changes from person to person. It may just be a simple lesson to learn to assert yourself and not let people in your life control you.<br /><br />In the Life between lives session we access the superconscious and it is truly an amazing experience for both the healer and the subject. Here we explore the state between two reincarnations where the spirit or the soul visits its true home in the spiritual realm and meets its master guides, soul mates and guides who help review the life just lived and plan the next life and its challenges. Here we can understand what our life purpose is. They also visit the Akashic library where records of all our lives are documented and the Hall of Healing where we heal any trauma we experienced in the life just led.<br />Dr Michael Newton has written detailed accounts of his cases in The destiny of the soul and The journey of the soul. He researched mainly into the life between lives state.<br /><br />What we call Karma is not a punishment as the popular belief goes. Its actually a lesson we need to learn...and have not because we disassociated with the emotion in a past experience. If we realise the lesson and learn it we need not experience the pain and the trauma again and again. So a past life session helps you relive that emotion which you repressed so that you need not re-experience it again and again.Most of the time because the subconscious replays this we are not aware of the cause of our anxiety and pain as its like a blind man and our conscious minds are unaware of the triggers. So unexplained sadness, depression, anger are all part of this. How can we learn the lesson when we dont know what it is.<br /><br />In these sessions we also see our soul mates in the journey. Many people who we think are our enemies may be just soul mates playing a part to help us become better spiritual beings.<br /><br />I will write in more details next time about my cases.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-62054399084923741512009-06-21T21:44:00.007+05:302009-06-26T00:47:57.736+05:30<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihFP1o8eGGX_eTKqfcQyFTGYtr48HtrxwtahpNORNfYUvl0MZ7TlZWcina80c19teEZWVGNCEiWknMOnalRbZfykixLR4lZ3MzqTVb_K5QHb3Ct3zvafxHkFIUcAyBhrTp0jhx42qZ75o/s1600-h/P1040766.JPG"><img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihFP1o8eGGX_eTKqfcQyFTGYtr48HtrxwtahpNORNfYUvl0MZ7TlZWcina80c19teEZWVGNCEiWknMOnalRbZfykixLR4lZ3MzqTVb_K5QHb3Ct3zvafxHkFIUcAyBhrTp0jhx42qZ75o/s320/P1040766.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349818380248865010" /></a><br /><br /><em><strong>OM NAMAH SHIVAYA.

A similiar disease strikes the soul.Its very dangerous because the early stages go unnoticed. At the first sign of indifference, or lack of enthusiasm take note! The only preventive against the disease is the realisation that the soul suffers, suffers greatly, when we force it to live superficially. The soul loves all things beautiful and deep- <strong>Professor Albert Schweitzer (Nobel Peace Prize winner) </strong></em></blockquote></blockquote><br /><br />We are here to realise that we are multidimensional beings who came here on a plan to experience joy, sorrow, pain ,love,disease and so many emotions. Somewhere we have just got enmeshed in this drama and the illusionary nature of the world around us. We have limited identities given to us by the society. The drama is so absorbing we cannot shake ourselves out of it. Just like when I quit my job at first I felt I could not survive. My job was my identity. Everything revolved around my achievements and qualifications I had gathered. Each time someone asked me what I was doing I could not get myself to say 'nothing'. It felt like I was invalidating the life I had led all these years what I worked so hard for. So in this way we continue...We start by alienating from our inner selves and work hard at creating various masks. Somewhere we are lost and cannot make out what we truly wanted. Its so convincing that the small inner voice of the soul is ignored so easily.<br /><br />The Physical Birth is a traumatic process so is this second birth. You have to let go of all the false identities. Its like layers in an onion. However great you may think you are in the world s eyes you are lost and havent fulfilled what you came here for if you cannot be in touch with that inner voice. I am not talking of that critical self in you or the vain proud self who always thinks I can never be wrong.<br />The true inner self your soul is full of compassion,love, non judgemental and can heal you truly and completely.Undoing is moving closer to the soul.Many of us just move through life never being in touch with our souls. <br /><br />In keeping up appearances,in smiling on the outside and hurting inside, in anger instead of love we create disease.Disease is just the loss of equillibrium when the body,mind and soul are not aligned. You hate someone yet you have to be on your best behaviour, you want to say this but you say something else..this keeps happening through the day. As children we embarrass our parents when we blurt out the truth and we get chastised. Slowly we learn that we need to repress our true feelings. In this repression we create disease. I know you will ask how can we live in society if we always tell the truth or express our true feelings. No you dont need to tell anyone. If you can make peace with yourself and acknowledge your true feelings you free yourself from disease patterns..I am angry..I need love.etc..<br /><br />As we advance technologically we think we dont need anyone else..We are moving into a dysfunctional world which is falling apart because we cant relate to ourselves. We keep running away from ourselves.Fill our lives with material desires..and so many goals and so much money we cannot use in one life. This action is all to fill that void which should be the space the soul occupies.<br /><br />The soul is powerful beyond imagination..it can heal, traverse time and all boundaries of space and time, create and destroy. Today all we need to do is tell ourselves that what we need is within not without..Reflect, just be..Doing without being is worthless. Just let that divine spark percolate through all the masks we have created.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-63714585803744801902009-06-05T10:58:00.004+05:302009-06-05T14:11:01.208+05:30Thought and reality<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpTL5fL-KEvptjYxQQWXSeZcbGZj8SJ8JlWLhdYwkBT5Lu9s-CAn7G8KNXCZ93HGOB8qhyphenhyphenlu6ArwectqDeFfybCpCV4AbPfFF7DlZr35QPYKB5omfQC_8PhmI9PMgoGqdmUxPfX5h-70c/s1600-h/P1050899.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpTL5fL-KEvptjYxQQWXSeZcbGZj8SJ8JlWLhdYwkBT5Lu9s-CAn7G8KNXCZ93HGOB8qhyphenhyphenlu6ArwectqDeFfybCpCV4AbPfFF7DlZr35QPYKB5omfQC_8PhmI9PMgoGqdmUxPfX5h-70c/s320/P1050899.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343728759527515154" /></a><br /><br /><strong><em>When the soul wishes to experience something she throws an image of the experience out<br />before her and enters into her own image.<br />~Meister Eckhart</em></strong><br /><br />Do our thoughts create the reality around us ? Many great religions have emphasized the purity of thought and intention for thousands of years. Yet now science has reached the same conclusion. In Quantum Physics scientists have concluded that the observer influences the outcome of an experiment.We are all interconnected and influence each other.<br /><br />In some way we influence the fabric of reality with thought waves..Thought is energy and this energy creates.Watching your thoughts is a wonderful exercise. You will see how meaningless and destructive most of our thoughts are. If you can guage your thoughts today you will know what your tomorrow holds. We repeat emotional patterns like anger, self pity, victimhood etc. For e.g By wallowing in self pity we create more situations where we are victims and need to pity ourselves.This vicious cycle continues till we break the pattern of our thoughts. In meditation or breathwork we empty our mind of thoughts and reduce the mental chatter. In the silence there is a breakthrough and those thoughts are what we call divine..<br /><br />The Bible says 'Be still and Know that I am God'...Stillness is stillness of the mind.<br /><br />If we can still our mind and watch our thoughts we would be creating perfect worlds. Our world is in a mess because our thoughts are filled with fear, pain, anger, frustration, revenge and low energies. We attract and create more of these.<br /><br />By watching your thoughts you tell yourself 'I am not on auto pilot. I am in control of my reality and I create it by regulating my thoughts'. Its amazing how you can reduce the mental chatter by just doing some deep breathing exercises or listening to some music. The mind is a monkey and the monkey jumps from thought to thought so to keep it out of mischief we give it a task..observe the breath..slow in and out breath.Do this for 10 mins then increase it to half an hour a day. Initially you will not be able to filter the thoughts but after some days the number of thoughts will reduce. After that you can during the day at short intervals check your thoughts. Ask yourself am I feeling happy or sad, low or high on energies. Shift your focus if your low or sad. Your thoughts need to be regulated.<br /><br />The main issue with all of us is we identify with our limited selves and forget that we are infinite and multidimensional beings who can create and change our realities. We deserve the best..and intention is all we need. The intention has to be with feeling. Just repeating words in prayer without feeling is a pointless exercise.<br /><br />Thought+intention= creation<br /><br />If you want to start this but are stuck because you ve always been fearful and negative in your thought processes you must get yourself L<em>ouise Hay s You can heal your Body</em>. You can choose your affirmations and repeat it with feeling. At first it might appear meaningless but as you remove doubt and believe in it, it will work.<br />There are many people who do not succeed even after all this. Most of the time it is because they have not released negative energies or forgiven someone. Please forgive yourself and others first let go off all resentment and hatred. This is all blocked energy and hinders the process of creation.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-53072431000391502922009-06-04T22:21:00.005+05:302009-06-05T14:09:50.809+05:30Synchronicity or meaningful coincidences<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmM2QTbAHAAWV7lBbT1ybIh-422TDpwILRkmsuu7dcpYrRtVgO_UyeG155-OwHwmL0ch6aYeVhi974Uhl8R-Teru_ZQ__0ldsgcq8DGALP9kG808c7sEqG2hZ0aQRg6B_TvX39Ym5w8KM/s1600-h/P1050438.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmM2QTbAHAAWV7lBbT1ybIh-422TDpwILRkmsuu7dcpYrRtVgO_UyeG155-OwHwmL0ch6aYeVhi974Uhl8R-Teru_ZQ__0ldsgcq8DGALP9kG808c7sEqG2hZ0aQRg6B_TvX39Ym5w8KM/s320/P1050438.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343524762736092434" /></a><br />Vedanta says the 2 signs of enlightenment are:<br /><br />1. You stop worrying...I ve still not reached this<br />2. Synchronicity or meaningful coincidences<br /><br />In my journey I have been guided by an unseen force these last 2 years. Synchronous events have kept me on the path. Every time I lost touch with my inner self these signs disappeared. Now I just centre myself with some breathing or meditation when I lose these signs.<br /><br />What is synchronicity..? There s one day I want to do a particular course the next day I see an ad in the newspaper or a friend calls me up to talk about it. What are the odds against these events happening. This is not to prove to others but in its special way the Soul guides you. You have to be patient, observant,acknowledge it and in mundane everyday events you will see the synchronicity.<br /><br />Think of a friend and the friend calls you or while typing on chat you both type the same thing more often..what are the chances of these things happening ? You may say they happen all the time..But each time you refuse to acknowledge them in the small things you stop it happening in big things.<br /><br />All along the path I ve been moving like a river with some stops in between..Just enough time to assimilate thats all. Sometimes I feel I dont have time..not sure why this sense of urgency. I think its because too many things seem to be happening.<br />So I ve been led from teacher to teacher, book to book. Reiki, Yoga, Inner Child healing, Chakra meditation, Vipassana, Isha Yoga...Past life regression. So somewhere along the line the self healing self searching me transformed into someone who wants to help others. I always wanted to help others but was not equipped to do so.<br /><br />If you recognise your true calling the universe or the unseen forces just help you in so many ways. Its amazing. Each one of us is unique and we have a special role to play. We deny this and lead lives to be accepted in society to just fit in.Most of my life I just did things to fit in..to gain approval..as soon as I chose to be true to my own self things just happen so easily. <em>'To Thy own self be true'.</em> <br />Now I understand this fully.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-31727335781858125262009-06-04T12:36:00.005+05:302009-06-05T14:12:00.495+05:30Past Life Regression and Healing<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2xAffzle1GuB1-mtQORad5t6ZJvTb7FhAcaQ3SIGuF3vtP4y44eISy5KllRBJ7Gbk315wTXFyRCUmjH6ZkMK4LKwrpT0Fu1AYYhKkyXJjwgsm1S_GUIdz8V4ml_mk-KMIfTnKrwFqC5w/s1600-h/P1050754.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2xAffzle1GuB1-mtQORad5t6ZJvTb7FhAcaQ3SIGuF3vtP4y44eISy5KllRBJ7Gbk315wTXFyRCUmjH6ZkMK4LKwrpT0Fu1AYYhKkyXJjwgsm1S_GUIdz8V4ml_mk-KMIfTnKrwFqC5w/s320/P1050754.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343368230625679330" /></a><br />I did a Past life regression therapist's training last week..after a lot of experimentation on myself and sessions.<br />In Past Life Regression we do a relaxation and the client is led into a past life. This is not hypnosis and the client is fully aware of the surroundings and the sounds in the background. Many people have a misconception that they may be manipulated and hypnotised.<br />Some of my experiences have shown that it is parallel state of consciousness which proves our multi dimensional existence. We can feel the trauma, joy, ecstasy, fear pain etc in our physical bodies as if we were experiencing the past life in the present moment. Reliving the trauma helps release the remnants which are stored in our energy body.<br />These blocked emotions normally cause havoc in our bodies and minds like fixed patterns in behaviour and disease.<br />We are wired in such a way that the same emotional reactions arise to situations. So it is as if we react to every new situation as we did in the past. Past as in not only this life but also past lives. Many of us call this Karma or destiny and feel we are pawns in the hands of destiny or some God. These patterns can be changed by releasing the stored energy patterns.<br />Our Energy body creates our physical body and months or weeks before a disease manifest in the physical it can be detected in the auric or energy field around our bodies.<br />In Breathwork, Holotropic Breathing and rebirthing too this release is done.<br />I have had a lot of issues relating to my neck, shoulders and arms. In subsequent past life sessions I saw 2 deaths where I was beheaded.<br />Then I experienced a very traumatic death as a young Egyptian who was buried alive after being drugged. This experience where I wake up in a coffin with hands and shoulders all cramped may have led to the pain in my shoulders and neck.<br />Total release happens when you relive the experience with all your senses.<br />The memory is stored in our cells and not our brain so wherever the trauma is stored we manifest disease or chronic issues.<br />Even when we reach deep meditative states or in deep tissue massage you may encounter memory release as I experienced during Vipassana and a reiki session.<br /><strong>I no more doubt that every cell is conscious and has intelligence. Every cell has the power to heal.<br />We nourish ourselves only when we love our bodies and give it the right messages and stop generating anger, fear and low energy emotions.</strong>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-23689529933210410742009-04-02T18:33:00.007+05:302010-07-06T23:53:20.357+05:30Rose of Jericho<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghWmT-2UBmalR4OAzNqrWIEANZiiU_ZffvI9y1QwmrC0Y8uRZ3uVZ4JaCZc1J0KY60Q5URkPhppKUWSGJlD7M-3ejjkOzFejsq5ZNlNV0nmSc_K595m6Y2FY4YeAvVlLR04FOH5iKjFTM/s1600-h/P1000642.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghWmT-2UBmalR4OAzNqrWIEANZiiU_ZffvI9y1QwmrC0Y8uRZ3uVZ4JaCZc1J0KY60Q5URkPhppKUWSGJlD7M-3ejjkOzFejsq5ZNlNV0nmSc_K595m6Y2FY4YeAvVlLR04FOH5iKjFTM/s320/P1000642.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320094046523700466" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuHwQUs7N7HgwFQ_EgFuAi5zTE4umwqVGnt-w517aYAGhOw8t3KI7r1WQSVDEsgJgd8sWzCCihri-0uer3K0C7lemq_V3PjRhnufwYRUk2SLSiK0YtyE6UWjWnQdV0gYumeLKZa4l5i8s/s1600-h/P1000622.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuHwQUs7N7HgwFQ_EgFuAi5zTE4umwqVGnt-w517aYAGhOw8t3KI7r1WQSVDEsgJgd8sWzCCihri-0uer3K0C7lemq_V3PjRhnufwYRUk2SLSiK0YtyE6UWjWnQdV0gYumeLKZa4l5i8s/s320/P1000622.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320091866118508018" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGZju91qhEXoIIzI4bF3ANkUaNiNJSdl9UZqNtb9rkyRgRzTXzz5Z57292sZPiZ22mqG6Xb3mJZCFnKYWpc1j-tdlZoJNx26PwVbYKoEdYfAJrdfZB7OJ-HDdvkebaPg8OFb0p7JCQlVY/s1600-h/P1000641.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGZju91qhEXoIIzI4bF3ANkUaNiNJSdl9UZqNtb9rkyRgRzTXzz5Z57292sZPiZ22mqG6Xb3mJZCFnKYWpc1j-tdlZoJNx26PwVbYKoEdYfAJrdfZB7OJ-HDdvkebaPg8OFb0p7JCQlVY/s320/P1000641.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320088807332053458" /></a><br /><br /><br />I was presented with this unique plant by my Reiki teacher when i left Pune...Its called the Resurrection plant or the Rose of Jericho.It is believed to have the ability to absorb negativity.<br /><br />A german lady she healed of cancer gave her these unique little plants..they look like dry thorny balls all shrivelled up but once you put them in water lo and behold they start turning green and grow and take the shape of the vessel you put them in. This is like a miracle indeed.<br /><br />After the rainy season, the Rose of Jericho dies and dries up, curling its stems into a tight ball. This protects the seeds and prevents them from being dispersed prematurely. When wetted, the branches spread out. If rain allows, the dispersed seeds germinate. The process of curling up and opening is completely reversible and can be repeated many times...................... Here I have taken photos showing the process where this dry ball when placed in water revives.and takes the shape of the bowl its placed in...and becomes green....over a 2-3 day period.green colour is regained..If left without water it again dries and curls back and can be revived later by placing in water..<br /><br />I was told they grow in Israel and Texas..and are passed from generation to generation in families and given as presents during Christmas.<br /><br />Exactly 2 years after I got my plant I chanced upon the same plant being sold by roadside vendors in Mahabalashwar a quaint little hillstation near Mumbai...Apparently its called the Sanjeevani meaning "One that infuses life" and is found at high altitudes in the hills. According to the epic Ramayana this plant was used to revive Lakshmana who was wounded.<br />I am not sure this is the original Sanjeevani but it can miraculously restore itself. Life is amazing and this plant is too.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249169476789283720.post-29624036162371416042009-01-13T20:23:00.009+05:302009-02-14T14:59:37.194+05:30Sound and Healing<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiViNhnzFfSt2Y1M6hq_NdsSApXBcpbNsfOIXEj1CUQamsoeQI724F1-VFJV2pyqsG7KnwnjUV9YfYbDUVpvl4EEAllXIZpKfsirGXpOWnrxii0YQeQowsOYhWncyfNKsXoTjcXUyWT2WU/s1600-h/P1000713.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiViNhnzFfSt2Y1M6hq_NdsSApXBcpbNsfOIXEj1CUQamsoeQI724F1-VFJV2pyqsG7KnwnjUV9YfYbDUVpvl4EEAllXIZpKfsirGXpOWnrxii0YQeQowsOYhWncyfNKsXoTjcXUyWT2WU/s320/P1000713.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290806451968576018" /></a><br /><br />I have been interested in this for a few months now and have read all that I can find about this topic on the net as well as books I could find.<br /><br />Its fascinating to know that sound reaches our ears through vibrations and waves and is energy just as we are energy too..(matter is energy). The effect of sounds cannot be denied. Sound can heal and transform as well us take us to a different vibration level. The yogis of ancient India knew this and had mantras for various purposes.<br /><br />Each chakra had its own vibrations and colour. The psychics can hear and sense these.<br />These mantras resonate and the associated chakras open and heal..helping the connected organs to regain the normal healthy state. This is very much like a pair of tuning fork.Resonating one results in the other tuning fork vibrating even though they are placed apart.<br /><br />Music is therapeutic and cures many ailments, destresses and also alleviates pain. <br />Great religions also gave us music as a gift..the Catholics had the gregorian chants, Sufis the Qawalis, Hindus the Vedic mantras and so on..They knew the secret power of music.<br /><br />When I went through a lot of emotional turmoil listening to the Gregorian chants helped put me to sleep everytime i was agitated. I am sure it will relax anyone who is facing a crisis.<br /><br />Jonathan Goldman a great musician who has carried out research and also penned several books on this subject has added that the intention behind the music is important. The sound + intention results in healing. The thought is above all very important so mere repetitive mouthing of mantras is meaningless.We need to feel deeply when we say them. Saying it in our own voice is more effective than listening to it...each time we say a mantra out loud it resonates to the universal sound and comes back to us as a manifested reality.<br /><br /><strong> OM Meditation</strong><br />The chanting of OM resonates in the whole body and helps all the chakras..Repeat OM or AUM for about 30 mins and you will feel waves of energy in the body. Now move your palms facing upwards in a clockwise and anti clockwise direction to dissipate the energy at the mid level. Try this in a group and you will feel a strong vibration and lots of energy build up.<br /><br />The Bija mantras for the chakras are Om, Sham, Hum, yum, ram, vam and lam from Crown to Root.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796810725170977348noreply@blogger.com1
