Becoming meditation in motion through applied awareness during KY sets

[Guest guest]

Dear Christa,

 

The mind cannot resolve the mind. The harder you try the more agitated and

conflicting the effort becomes.

 

One aspect of the mind is awareness. This awareness that we use to see by is

the single subject for all objects. This single awareness feels like "I" so

that the sensations of the body and thoughts, images and impressions of the mind

feel like an identity. The mind constantly processed all these into a concept

of who we think we are and runs over these thoughts incessantly in what

psychologists call "self talk" which is the self-image we have.

 

The mind cannot find or locate the seer, as you cannot see the part that sees,

but you can watch.

 

Watching is almost effortless and its benefits during the practice of Kundalini

Yoga sets and Kriyas followed by KY laya and meditations. This is because the

sets of postures and movements combined with powerful long deep breathing and

breath of fire purify the nerves and related energy channels and charge the

cells of the glands and organs, while electrifying ad polarizing the whole water

based atomic structure. The result is that the body with its storehouse of

impressions begins to resonate at a level that is higher than the frequency of

thoughts, so that you come into a prethought state of intuition.

 

If, as you begin to enter into each posture and movement, you watch inwardly the

sensory experience of the movement of the body and the flow of prana, your

awareness begins gradually, with each successive KY set to become aware of

itself as not just the thoughts and sensations, but also the life force or prana

behind them.

 

You begin to almost float in that pranic field, which is the life force of the

atom. This awareness of the flow of prana is what some yoga texts call the

pranic sheath.

 

With this awareness of yourself as the pranic field, when you also do Laya

meditations and mantra, the sound is discovered to be greatly amplified. The

greater the electromagnetic charge of the body field, the greater the

amplification of the mantra, which resonates with such a force as to thoroughly

dissolve all trapped images and impressions. And through it all, you simply

watch without intention.

 

The awareness we all have is the same as the Universal Consciousness - single

and all-pervasive. Everything appears in That simple Awareness which animates

each of us with Light and the sense of Being we call "I."

 

Loosing our home or abidance in the seer, we go through life is a sort of

repetitive dream - repeating karmic tendencies over and over.

 

As we cannot take hold of that awareness, and as that awareness simply illumines

images, we simply watch.

 

Thus, simply by watching you are drawn inward to the depths of your being, and

the consciousness of these depths emerge by themselves like recollections.

 

Try this watching. In Buddhism it's called mindfulness, but in Kundalini Yoga,

such still watching in practice brings the mind into immediate identity with

it's pranic source, as the awareness itself, which is substratum of the prana

fills the mind with Light, which you gradually recognize to be your True Self.

 

Try this watching (applied awareness) and see what happens. You will see that

when you sit to meditate you will not be bothered any longer by wandering

thoughts and images. In fact you will become meditation in motion - active and

inactive.

 

(Also read some spiritual texts of the Saints and Saviors - Sat Gurus of the

Ages, as when the mind is pure, the words you read will themselves have the

power to awaken you completely to your True Self "Sat Nam" like coming out of a

stupor or the emergence of recollections from an amnesia.)

I have been trying to ignore them by focusing more intently on the mantra, but I

always feel like I'm fighting against myself for my minds attention. I'm not

sure that

makes sense.

Sat Nam Peiter,

 

You have an eloquent and fluid way of relating the subject.

 

"The mind cannot find or locate the seer, as you cannot see the part that sees,

but you can watch."

--Well put...

Pieter-

Thank you so much. This made more sense to me than you know. I have

experienced what you are describing only a few times, but wasn't

sure 'how it happened'. I did, I believe, reach the higher

vibrational frequency you described here once. It was amazing. And I

didn't notice then, but as I think back, I don't remember having any

other thoughts whatsoever during that meditation. It was completely

of the mantra. The mantra was literally vibrating within and through

my entire body. I could feel it resonate and it was wonderful. I

didn't know what I was doing to get to that stage however. But now

that you describe it, I think it was because of the attention on the

kriyas just before meditation. There have been a few times since then

that I begin to feel my body vibrate. But on those other occasions

either my dog starts to bark at the squirrels outside (you know how

dangerous squirrels can be) or one of my kids will begin to cry or

fight. And, interestingly enough, the sound waves or vibrations that

they (the dog and my kids fighting/crying) make is very different

from the mantra, in a negative way. As soon as they start, my body

begins to vibrate at that level and I do NOT like it all. It

just 'feels bad' or negative. I can't describe it. I consciously stop

it at that point. But then I can't make it start again. At least I

haven't been able to turn it off or on yet.

I was going to ask this, but you answered it here, I think. I have

noticied that whenever I read any spritual text (I'm just starting

Christ the Yogi by Ravindra) or writing/thinking about anything

spriritual, I can feel the back of my head begin to really 'buzz' (as

I call it). Usually I can feel a 'low hum' there all day long. The

only time it normally buzzes really strongly is during yoga and

meditation. But lately (the past 2 months), it's started doing that

whenever I'm thinking/reading about anything spiritual. And

occasionally, it expands beyond the back of my head and starts to

spread. Is this what you were referring to?

 

What you are describing about watching makes complete sense as I read

it. I just never thought of it that way before. Thanks so much. I

will begin to 'watch' as I do my kriyas today.

 

Christa
