Travel around the world?

My friend told me that I have traveled around the world but I told her no, which is the truth.  I have only been to (from the oldest record to current):
  • Singapore
  • China (Beijing, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou)
  • Australia (Melbourne, Sydney)
  • Italy (Cabella Ligure, Genoa - coming soon)
  • India (Mumbai, New Delhi)
  • America (New York, Los Angeles)
  • Indonesia (Batam)
  • United Kingdom (London) - Coming soon
That's it.  I won't take into account places that I have to transit like:
  • Bangladesh - Dhaka (transit on the way to Cabella)
  • UAE - Dubai (stayed one night, transit on the way to Cabella)
  • Italy - Rome (1 hour transit on the way to Cabella)
  • Sweden - Stockholm (1 hour transit on the way to New York)
  • Taiwan - Taipei (1 hour transit on the way to Los Angeles)
 There are still many places that I would like to visit like:
  • Korea - My dad worked there for 2 years and my sister and my mom visited him there.  I didn't go due to work commitments but now regretted not going at that time when accommodation was free.  I heard the cherry blossom was really beautiful and that overall it's a very clean and beautiful country.
  • New Zealand - I saw photos of it and I love the scenic places that New Zealand has.
  • Japan - I love Japanese food.  Would be really good to try authentic Japanese food.
  • Hawaii, Mauritius, etc - Need I say more?
I have the chance to travel so much because of Sahaja Yoga.  Most of the countries I went is because there was an International Puja or Seminar.  Although I went there, sometimes I didn't get to travel around to feel the taste of that country.  Like I have not tour around Milan.  Just Cabella and this coming trip will be the same too.   Even when I stop at London, it's going to be a few hours only.  So won't get the chance to go places.

In some countries, I have only been to a few places, like for Australia, I haven't been to Gold Coast, for India, I would like to check out Rajasthan and for Italy, would like to visit Venice to ride the gondola or Vatican, to check out the beautiful paintings of Da Vinci and Michelangelo (if I am not mistaken).

Of all places, the most memorable experience was in New York where one day both Lat and I took a sub to New York City and went to Chinatown on our own.  It was a day full of adventures and I enjoyed it very much.  This is much better than following a tour anytime.  It would be good if we could watch a musical but too bad we didn't have enough time.

The only place that I went and didn't have a good experience was when we went to visit my China uncle in his village in Guangdong.  I was transparent in their eyes because they preferred guys to girls and at that time my cousin brother went with us.  So he got the attention all the time.  The food was not delicious at all and I ended up starving myself.  On top of that when my mom and I went to town to do some marketing, we were cheated of RMB100 because the person who gave us the change, gave us a fake note.  The most scary part was when we sleep at night, my China grandma would come and wake us up in the middle of the night to chit chat. 

Anyway, all in all, I think I am pretty lucky to have traveled quite a bit.  Places that I would love to go again would be New York, Universal Studio in Los Angeles (maybe go to the nearer one in Singapore) and go to Hong Kong again to go Disneyland this time.  Maybe Melbourne again since I have relatives staying there.

Tell you a secret.  I love going to the airport, not so much the flying bit, but airport, yes.

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).
