The Blessings of the Breath

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Namaste,

Things of the past cannot hurt you in the moment.
Be aware of the moment by watching your breath.
The breath comes in and out, and when you are aware of this, you too can rise and fall on the journey of the breath.
The essence of a Formless Space is deep within you.
You can feel touch and caress the breath.
The breath helps us to be one with the Universal Mother.
She speaks to us through the center of our breath, where time does not exist.
There is a light that shines within the breath that you are aware of.

Every Being craves and hopes for happiness in life.
When we search for happiness, at times it is hard to find.
Yet when one stills the mind through the watching of the breath, happiness is not far behind.
Radiate joy.
Control your anger by paying attention to the breath.
Develop awareness of the breath.
So much can change in your life when you do this.
Awaken yourself from dullness, and bring the now into your life by meditating on the blessings of the breath.
Continue to perfect yourself, breath by breath.
Soon you will not be able to tell the difference between your breath and the Mother’s.

I love you all.
Love,

Blessings of Community

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Namaste,

How blessed are we who live in community.
We are at each others side through thick and thin.
Prayers are heard and answered simply by asking.
We have gratitude not only for the food we commonly share, but for the dear, loved faces we see every day of our lives.

When the pale stars ride the early night time sky, I think of all of you.
I treasure these moments and the sweet sense of Home, our sacred Kashi.
I treasure the children, who grow into young men and women as the light in each house grows brighter.
And from the windows out upon the night, we all wait for each of our children to come in and tell us of their day.
And if they step out in the darkness, we are there to step with them to ease the tensions of the young and the old.
So blessed are we, who have within our Ashram the touch of the Mother and the blessings of the Father.
The Mother keeps love alive and all the candles lit.
And She loves to do it, and will continue to do it every single day.

If an unkind touch reaches out to someone, we know of the Mother’s protection – and we all feel safe.
She seeks not revenge, but safety for her child; and you all are Her children, no matter how old you are.
True love can never be blind, and it can bring an added light to your life and loving wisdom to all your hearts.

Baba gave your Ma this Blessing.
Blessings on top of Blessings, and I am so grateful.

I love you all.
Love,

Ma Jaya
