Learn and let go

To fall down, scrape your knees and then stand up and tell yourself never to fall down again and be careful when you walk.  Some lessons are learn the hard way.

Part of growing up is to learn from your mistake and then let go.  But I find it really hard to let go.  It's my ego that is holding on.  For me, I will try my very best to be careful and not repeat past mistakes and also not to create an opportunity to make any mistakes because I don't like to be in sticky situations.  Sometimes it is not possible to fall down, scrape your knees, stand up and hope that it won't happen again because accidents do happen.  Sometimes although you try not to create an opportunity to make any mistakes, it will still happen.

Whatever it is, mistakes will happen.  What we need to do is to forgive so that we can let it go.  Forgive ourselves and forgive others.  I feel this is the hardest challenge as a Sahaja Yogi, for me that is.  I know by not forgiving I am also getting the consequences, like major headaches and heartache and affecting my chakras, my channels and imbalance in my life.

Why do I torture myself like this?  Why is it so hard to let go?  What good does it give to keep repeating the whole incident in my head?  Sometimes I feel like I am locked in my own mind.  The angel me and devil me will be fighting to see who will sustain the longest.  It's my choice, either to keep on thinking about the incident, to hold grudge against that person and be angry and irritated or to learn from the mistake, let it go and move on, forgive that person, forgive myself and have peace in the heart and mind.  After reading what Shri Mataji said below, I chose the latter and cool breeze are emiting from my Sahasrara right now as I am typing.

Extract from Shri Mataji's speech
“I forgive.”  This is the greatest weapon Christ has given us. You just say, “I forgive, I forgive,” and you can overcome your ego. This is the mantra for this chakra…. You’ll find your Agnya chakra will open out and you’ll find your ego will go away.

Forgiveness is one of the biggest weapons human beings have got. But they are so stupid. If I tell them to forgive – now what is there not to forgive? – they’ll say, “It’s very difficult to forgive.”

I say, “What is so difficult? What are you doing? Are you doing something when you say, ‘I am forgiving’? Do you do something? Nothing.”
On the contrary, when you do not forgive, then what is happening is the person whom you do not forgive is actually torturing you, while you are not torturing that person.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 1983

Matka pot treatment - Night 1

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 ...

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 ...

Sahaja Yogis Do's and Don'ts

The other day, while browsing through Amruta.org, I'd found this gem.  Sharing with you all.   Disclaimer:  As I only took out parts of the talk, please do read the entire text to get the full message and understanding or better still, listen or watch the video. Advice by Shri Mataji at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan (Question and Answers). Bombay (India), 22 March 1977 1. No smoking and drinking First and foremost things that a Sahaja Yogi cannot smoke or drink. One absolutely one hundred percent sure, because if you drink or smoke you will find after some time you either you’ll lose your vibrations or you’ll start vomiting. You cannot smoke. If you smoke your Vishudhdhi will be caught. If you drink your Nabhi chakra will be caught and whenever you’ll place your hand towards the photograph all the Nabhi chakra will be burning absolutely. So you’ll say, “What is this happening?” And you’ll give up. You sort of, many people have done it without any difficulty. They ...
