Of ego, of negativity, of collectivity, of marriage...

I have been wanting to blog for a few days, but just can't get myself to do it.  I wanted to put more photos, especially those recently captured photos, but I have lost the cable and now unable to load any new photos.

Past few days, has been eye-opening days for me.  I have discovered a few new things, well, some not that new, but it's still something that makes me see with my eyes instead of just hearing or imagining or whatever.

First, I realised that, many times, the main thing that is stopping me from ascending, is my ego.  It's not something new though.  It's been there.  I see it on and off, but sometimes don't recognise it.  Now I see it more in the witness state and watching the drama, where I am the main actress.  It's the main hindrance in anything that I do. The best part (and I mean it) is that I know where this is coming from.  It's been there for ages, ingrown in the system, encouraged by the society and now it's not easy to surrender.  The only way to get rid of the ego, is to surrender.  Don't let the ego be so bloated until it covers the heart.  Shri Mataji, I surrender my ego to You.


Second, I have discovered that negativity attacks, anywhere, anytime and it could even be in us, whether we know it or not.  I feel for me, many times it's the negativity that is stopping me from meditating.  One day, I was feeling a little 'bleh'.  I felt very worried and left sided.  I thought of just doing my regular meditation and foot soaking and be done with it.  But that day, my conscience told me to do 108 names of Shri Mahakali.  As I started with the first few names, the negative thoughts were still in my mind and tears started streaming down my cheeks.  But I remembered the doctors in Vashi used to discourage crying because that encourages left-sidedness.  So, I held on the tears and continue reciting the names.  When I finished, I felt so relieved and inside I felt peaceful.  I didn't feel so left sided anymore and felt positive once again.  I prayed to be stronger and pray not to absorb anymore negativity.


Third, I realised that there are many things happening simultaneously in our world right now.  Whether it is the Sahaj world or not, there are good and bad things happening.  While I feel it's very important to give self-realisation to as many as possible right now, but what I am feeling stronger is that, the time has come for each and every Sahaja Yogi to grow deeper inside individually.  No more excuses about being too busy, still not good enough, still don't understand much, still young, still new, still fresh and so on.  Shri Mataji have given us EVERYTHING!  If we read all Her talks and listen to all Her speeches, we will know that whatever we needed is ALL provided for by Her Holiness.  When each of us become stronger, able to be Her true soldiers of love, able to imbibe ALL Her teachings then when we come together in a collective, our power itself is enough to overcome anything in the world.  This is what I feel very strongly.  Each one of us MUST work on ourselves and be deeper and stronger.  


Fourth, the more we delayed our wedding, the more negativity will attack.  And it's very scary especially when we are not together.  All I can do is just bandhan and pray that everything will be good.  Anyway, I just have to accept everything that will happen.  I can't meditate for another person, all I can do is shoebeat, bandhan and paper-burning.  The rest, I have to surrender to God.

Another thing I found about Sahaj marriage is this:  no matter how many years we are in Sahaj (me 11 years and he 3 years), the moment we had our Kundalini tied together as one, the moment we tied the knot, our journey starts then, together.  Shri Mataji said, it's like two wheels of the chariot, referring to husband and wife where no one should dominate the other.  Instead, we should help each other to ascent, though in the end, the journey to ascent to the Kingdom of God is an individual journey, but together, as a couple, we can help each other to reach the destination.  Whoever is lagging behind, the one who is at the front should go back a few steps to help the one behind.  

Also, although at times I see him as being the complete opposite of me, but sometimes I feel he is also my mirror, reminding me of my weaknesses and telling me what I need to improve on.  That's the beauty of it.  


Past few days, the vibrations have been tremendous.  Sahasrara is cool and when that happens, everything around me work around me.  Inside is calmer, more meditative, more attentive and more joyful.  

Shri Mataji, I feel You by my side, on this journey of life.  I surrender everything to You.  Thank You again and again, dear Mother.  Thanks for all Your love and compassion.

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 ...
