Have a good life

An old gentlemen wished me that when I bade him good bye.  He is a retired Austrian man and currently in Malaysia with his wife to visit their daughter, who is the Austrian ambassador in Malaysia.

I felt it was a good wish, from someone who had lived a good, long life, still happily married and very joyous and bubbly.  I thought that was very sweet of him, with his limited English, he gave a very nice, appropriate wish.  

That makes me wonder, what is a good life?  Others pointed out, "Aren't you having a good life now?"  

This journey of life, I have only threaded less than half of it's length, given the probability that I will live to my 80s.  I haven't been through as much as others and many people is telling me, my life is just at the beginning.

To have a good life, one has to appreciate everything we have and not worry about anything, be at present moment and enjoy everyday, every second, every moment, and enjoy the disadvantage too.

Here's a short excerpt of Shri Mataji's speech:

"First time I went to America, I also went by ship.  Now the ship has one problem: that it cannot have any problem.  Because there are no solutions.  It is so limited.  Whatever is not on the ship is not there.

 Supposing you want to have a pair of scissors, it's not on a ship, so you cannot find it.  So there's no problem.  

 Because you have possibilities and you have choices that's why there is a problem.  So on the ship you start understanding, whatever we have we are happy.  

 In the same way a Sahaja Yogi should be: whatever we have we are very happy.  So there is no problem.  Supposing you are lost on the way somewhere then you have to say, 'I have to be here.  That was God's desire, so I'm here.  So I'm not lost.  Whatever is myself is with me.  So how can I be lost?'

 There are all such things you see.  Because there are many people who write to me about their problems.  And the problems are such that actually there are no problems.  Once you start thinking like that you will be amazed how the problems get solved.  Now Italy had no rain for all these days.  And that people wanted that there should be rain, before I come."

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).
