Jet lag

Whenever I traveled overseas, I always have a problem with jet lag.  I guess my body is too condition with time and not able to adjust quickly to the different time zones.

When I first arrived in Cabella in 2001, I will wake up at 3am (Cabella time) and was wondering why.  Then I realised that Malaysian time was 6 hours ahead of Cabella and it was 9am, so it was the normal time to wake up.  I was seriously amused with how my body works.

When I went to US in 2005 I was very hungry at midnight and would make myself some Maggi instant noodles.  That's because Malaysia is 12 hours ahead of US and it was lunch time in Malaysia.

People say that it's not so bad when you travel to the east compare to traveling back to the west.  But it's still affects me quite a bit, lesser when I travel to the east and more when I come back to Malaysia.

Whenever I come back to Malaysia I will usually sleep and sleep as the body tries to adjust back to the time.  On the flight back to Malaysia from Cabella, I was sleeping the whole flight through and didn't eat at all.  After the US trip, I slept for almost 24 hours straight and had jet lag for a week.  I will be nodding off at work and could hardly open my eyes.

This time I am going to go to 2 places with different time zones.  London is 7 hours behind Malaysia while Cabella is 6.  Although the one hour different won't make much a difference and I will only be spending a night in London, so hopefully I will be able to cope.

I really hope this time the jet lag will not affect me that much.

Matka pot treatment - Night 1

Image
I started the matka pot treatment last night.  Been feeling a lot of left agnya catch lately, so thought that it is high time to do a matka pot treatment.  Here is what we need: 7 limes (I heard in Belgium, they used 7 lemons, so the pot that they used is so big and they have a hard time trying to dispose the pot after the 7 nights).  Cut the top of the limes to expose a bit of the flesh. 7 chillies.  Remove the top of the chillies (I don't know what you call, stem or stalk).  I used small chillies so that they can fit into the matka pot. 1 matka pot (here in Malaysia we used claypot that they cooked claypot rice, glazed inside so that it will not leak) Vibrated water So, you put everything into the pot and vibrate in front of Shri Mataji's photo.  Pray that the matka pot will absorb all the catches and negativities.  Then place it on the left side of the bed.  I put it under the bed but you can also put it on a side table on your left side.  Just be carefu

Information for pregnant Sahaja Yoginis

I have decided to gather all information for pregnant Sahaja Yoginis here.  This is probably not conclusive, so please feel free to add on if you have anymore inputs.  To read more about it, please go to amruta.org.   I guess the experience varies from individual to individual.  But I was very sensitive to vibrations and negativity when I was in my first trimester.  So much so that sometimes I have to do 2-3 times footsoak in a row in order to feel better.  But it gets better in the second trimester. As for havan, I was told that pregnant ladies can attend havan but have to sit far from the fire and don't sit too long.  This was advice by the Vashi doctors.  But my own experience, in which I attended one havan, I didn't feel good after that.  It's just my personal feelings about it as I was ultra-sensitive.  But I read some yoginis wrote that pregnant ladies should not attend havan altogether.  So, it really depends.  I guess you could always check vibrations to find

Sahaja Yoga has cured me - Part 1

Image
I was reading back my old posts and I realised that I have not posted even once on how Sahaja Yoga has helped me although I keep saying that it has.  How can I forget the miracles that it has brought me and has a big effect on my life. Between 2004-2006 (I forgot exactly which year it happened), one night after my part-time class, I came back late.  I had skipped dinner as I was late for class.  So after class, I just stopped at McD and bought myself some french fries.  I was not hungry anymore.  So I came back home and just drank a glass of cold milk.  I went to sleep after the meal. The next day as usual I went to work.  My stomach was already not feeling so well.  I have lost appetite and again didn't eat proper breakfast and lunch.   I was already tasting sourness in my mouth but I just ignored it.  Then I was going to meet a friend for dinner.  While driving to her place, I drank a lot of water.  That was what triggered the beginning of my nightmare (short nightmare).
