Sat nam everyone. I dont remember who sent that website

about the herb salvia divinorum, I've been reading up on

it. I do use sage incense in my home to repel any negative

entities or forces. However, I don't take any psychoactive

drugs to enhance my levels of consciousness during

meditation, I personally don't think they are necessary.

However, I'd like to hear everybody's opinion about this

particular herb (those who have used it and who havent),

especially Gururattan's and Satsang's, or people who have

meditated for many years.

 

Thank you,

sat nam

maria.

Sat Nam!

 

We are somewhat familiar with this herb, Salvia Divinorum. I am surprised

you mention it and I wonder if you really saw mention of it on another list.

 

Anway, I'll just share that it is a very unusual herb, entirely not similiar

to any other plants. A spiritual teacher of ours has said that most people

should not use this substance. It is quite powerful, legal, and is used for

a sort of journeying. I don't believe it is unhealthy for all people, but

certainly should not be used very often due to its heavy toll on the nervous

system, and one should have a guide (someone who can go to the same place

without the herb) with them. Paranoia may result as its effects are wearing

off due to the weakened nervous system and the lingering sense of the portal

nearby that one has just left behind. It really isn't something people do

for fun, but rather to assist in a release of the logical mind and allow the

spirit to travel and become aware of higher levels of consciousness. This

can be possible without the use of mind altering substances, but we can see

historically that in some cases shamans and others feel that plants are

beneficial.

 

My yoga teacher has given me to know that Guru Dev Singh, the one who

teaches Sat Nam Rasayan healing used this herb in shamanic studies before he

met Yogi Bhajan. I doubt he needs it anymore, but it is interesting to

know.

 

As far as using the type of sage burned as insense goes, I think it is great

and useful and I use it to clear the space before I teach class, as well as

for clearing our living space from time to time.

Sage is traditionally used as an ingredient in meditation oils (that you can

apply to your forehead before meditation), as well as, as you mentioned,

incense. It also has medicinal uses for a few specific conditions, but not

as a meditation aid. So it is good to use it this way. However, both my

meditation teacher and Yogi Bhajan and I think all respected masters I know

of recommend against ingesting any kind of psychoactive substances, because

the state you get from them, while it may be interesting, is not in fact

meditation. There are people who say they can use these substances because

"God made them". My teacher put it very simply: God also made poison, and

how often do you ingest that? Most such substances have in fact medical

uses - so does snake poison, for that matter. However, for meditation it is

best just to use yourself ; )!

 

Many blessings,

Satsang Kaur

When Guru Dev meet Yogi Bhajan and asked YB to be his teacher, YB said he

had to be clean for 1 year and then he would teach him. This also included

not manipulating any energies. He now teaches how to create healing through

a shift in consciousness. The cleanest way possible. Very interesting

story.

 

Sat Nam,
