Relaxing and Feeling

Friday, May 21st, 2010

Namaste,

Mastering one’s own destiny leads to a deepening appreciation of the shining spirit within.
Freud spent many years processing feelings and where feelings come from.
To get to these hidden places, he had to find a method of bypassing the ego.
He did not know much of Eastern practices, yet he recognized something that is essential to the way they work.
He knew that Eastern practices opened awareness.
He learnt of discipline and how to use it to heal the mind.
He offered his patients the idea of relaxing, thus letting the ego relax its grip; this opened up layers of feeling closed and tight.

Through Kali Natha Tantric Yoga, the yogi releases any tightness in the body.
One recovers the capacity for feeling; Kali Natha Yoga teaches us not to be afraid of our feelings but to work with them.
Breathing in light and letting out toxic emotions can lead us closer to the Source.
Doing this type of breathing spiritual exercise for about 10 minutes every day will leave the yogi clear in his efforts to expand.

Breathe deeply and feel the beauty of the breath.
Do not breathe deeply carelessly, as this would never be a deep enough breath.
Breathe out all the staleness, again with awareness, and continue for as long as you can.
Keep the body still and the heart open.

Love,

Meditation on the Mother

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Namaste,

When you sit in meditation, the sensation of breathing puts you in touch with life.
You become conscious of the preciousness of life.
You also become aware of your posture.

Sit still with your back straight head upright.
Keep your eyes focused on the floor a few feet in front of you.
Bring your attention to your breathing.
Notice how it feels when the air enters and leaves your nostrils.
Sitting and observing your breathing will help to keep you focused
The wonder of meditation begins to come to you more and more.
Call on the Mother and She will come to you.
If you believe that She is listening She will definitely make Herself known.

As time passes, She may allow you to get a glimpse of Her form.
If you are afraid just tell Her so, and She will change Her form into someone whom you recognize; this will calm you down.
Speak to Mother, whether you can see Her or not
By speaking to the Universal Mother, you will find that your thoughts will slow down or disappear all together.

Do this for a little while twice a day; this will start to bring you into the moment.
Meditation is an open door to a world of bliss and understanding.
It also lets you see yourself as never before.
You may not like at times what you see or feel, but you definitely will feel quite different.
Your reactions to life will change for the better.
By getting to know the Mother, you get to know yourself.

She will never betray or leave you.

Love,
