With LOVE from the HEART

Amidst the COVID-19 chaos and craziness, let's share something nice today.  

Recently the heart is being attacked quite a bit.  Because of the virus, many things has stopped but the anxiety, the fear, the panic around us has not.  Racism is getting worse, people blaming because of the virus origins, lack of action from authorities, make many of us feeling angry, irritated and annoyed.  Our anger is expressed openly on social media and we can see so many people are cursing one another.  Whether it is the virus or not.  Whether it is about Sahaj or not.  Everyone is on the verge of breaking down.

Let's take a step back.  We can't stop the virus for now.  We can only contain it.  And the best is through social distancing as we can see how it has helped some countries with their immediate response on cities locked down and quarantine.  We can't change a lot of things as much as we wanted to.  So, let's start changing the things that we can.  And that is ourselves.

Put both hands on your chest.  Close your eyes.   Deep breathe few times.  In your heart, with full sincerity, say the person's name that you find annoying or have hurt you and then say May God Bless You.  You can say it as many times as you like.  

This is like sending love to your enemy.   

I taught it to our girl.  One day her teacher scolded her for something and she wasn't happy about it.  So at night, when we meditated together, she did this prayer.   The next day, the teacher is happy and smiling again.  Now, she would say, "Mama, May God Bless you."   And she would say for each family member.

We can't change that person.  But we can change how we feel about that person.  By doing that, I felt my heart opened a little and felt so light.   And suddenly I also felt the person actually change.  

From this experience, suddenly I find myself kept hearing Shri Mataji talking about the heart, from  different puja talks, every day (as I have been listening to Shri Mataji's talk on the way to work).  

One talk that really strike me was Sahasrara Puja Talk, 1989 in Italy.  Where She said the first era was the opening of the Sahasrara and the next era is for the heart.  How we have to keep our heart clean and pure.

Then it came to me that my heart is not as open as I thought it should be.  Assuming that we do meditation twice a day, for so many years, but the heart is still close.  How to check?   Ask these few questions:

"Do we harbour anger for so-and-so?"
"Do we feel envy or jealous for so-and-so?"
"Do we wish others to go through my pain?"
"Do we wish illness for others?"
"Do we feel we are better than others?"
"Do we hurt others?"
"Are we rude to others?"
"Do we help others willingly without expectations?"

And whatever question you feel relevant.   Unfortunately my answer is I still do.  How our heart is going to be open if we still do all of these?  Many of us including myself still have a long way to go.  

With the heart close, how can the Sahasrara be kept open?  It's all connected.  So, let's first open our heart.  With our heart open, we can conquer much more.  Whether it is the virus or not.  We will be stronger than before.   Share the love with everyone virtually

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).
