Chinese New Year is just around the corner

To be exact, CNY is just 3 days away.  In the past I have written about CNY 2009 and CNY 2010.  This year CNY will be a little different, well, not little actually, a HUGE different.  This is the first time ever that I will be celebrating Chinese New Year out of the country with my parents.  I am going to Foshan / Guangzhou!!!

I have been trying to research on the net on places to visit and food to eat.  Found those and the rest will just let my fiance take the lead.  I wanted to read more from Guangzhou (Foshan  not as popular yet) blogs from an expat point of view, especially food, places of interest, how CNY is celebrated there, but can't really find one blog that has those in English.  Maybe I should start one, oh wait, did China ban Blogger too?  

Anyway, when I come back, I will post about my trip to China.  It's going to be quite interesting.  I was in China more than 10 years ago, had a horrible time and I said I will never step foot in China again.  Well, looks like the Divine has other plans for me, so now I am stepping foot into China again after 10 years.

It's going to be a mixture of feelings.  Excited, anxious, worrisome, fear, happy and all.  Wishing all Chinese, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR, "KONG HEI FATT CHOI" and "XIN NIAN KUAI LE".

Shri Mataji, I surrender all the fears, anticipation, expectations, obstacles to You.  I pray that everything will be smooth and fun!

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).
