smiling buddha kriya

[Guest guest]

Satnam Christa,

Wow, this is what I love ready in the posts.Getting connected and really

experiencing the power of God. If your God appears you must be ready and in

need. A parent arrives when the child needs support. It might not mean you

are to be forgiven at that time, if you even needed to be.. but he is there

for you now in that space. Big changes are happening in your life

spiritually. The arm of God is always there... good or bad. Our life's work

is our responsibility He is always there though.The feelings of guilt and

other stuff will take time to process but keep the presence of God and the

memory alive. It is frustrating because you want to keep the vision.. and

recreate it but you can't and wish you could have reacted differently. He

will come back if you need him.

You mentioned that he said nothing.I have had a similar experience with my

guides but also in the physical realm with my earthly teacher Yogi Bhajan.

He just sat there said nothing..while I was in his presence and I was

releasing everything in that space he created. It's like a mirror or

something. You are facing the most dignified consciousness.. they don't have

to usually say much. Their presence and purity make your consciousness do the

questioning. Their aura does the work.They are in a constant state of sat nam

rasayana. That is the power of a teacher it goes beyond the word

In relation to the smiling Buddha Meditation I have done it and taught it a

lot. It is a powerful meditation to open up the heart and happiness and

compassion. It is one of my favorite meditation to teach beginners and

"Christ consciousness" students. It works well,in giving, an immediate

experience to beginner meditators.

It can be found in the intermediate meditation manual.

Another thing is that you don't usually see their entire body but you know

who they are.Trust it, teach it and live it.

Thanks a lot for your posts

Sat Nam everyone!

 

This is probably going to be a rambling post, so consider yourselves

forewarned!

 

I had a strange dream about a month or so ago, filled with a lot of

spiritual metaphors. The dream ended in a very unusual way.

Everything that was in the dream up to that point completely vanished

instantly, and I was kneeling on a white floor. My head was bowed,

but my eyes were open. My hands were in prayer pose. There was one

other person to my right in the same position that I was in.

Everything was white, but varying shades of white. Standing directly

in front of me was Jesus, wearing a long white robe. I never saw his

face, but I knew it to be him.

 

I said "bless me" and as soon as I said that, feelings of guilt and

shame bolted through every part of my body. I felt completely

unworthy of his blessing. And I didn't know why. I couldn't attribute

those feelings to anything specific. I've never felt like that

before. I immediately said "Forgive me". I meant forgive me for

basically everything up to this point in my life. Then I just waited

in silence. I felt completely vulnerable and open like I've never

felt before. I waited for what seemed a long time, but he never said

a word. It had only been a few seconds that had passed (but it felt

like hours) when I felt his hands around my arms. He was gently

pulling me up into a standing position. My eyes were open and I could

feel myself beginning to stand, and then I woke up.

 

As soon as I woke up, I was ready to kick myself. I've tried getting

back to that dream/place/whatever it was, but I haven't been able to

(not that I really expected to succeed at it). But it's been driving

me crazy. What am I so ashamed of and why didn't I allow myself to

stand before Jesus? Why didn't he either bless me or forgive me? What

did I do that was so horrible? All of these thoughts were going

through my mind for days after this dream (actually, probably closer

to a couple of weeks). Then I slowly began thinking that maybe he

didn't say anything because nothing needed to be said. Perhaps it

meant that I'm simply too judgemental of myself for no real reason.

And that I won't get anywhere until I stop it.

 

Ok, so what does this have to do with ky or the message board? Well,

lately many people have been contributing a lot of posts regarding

forgiveness and loving yourself. Which appears to be exactly what I

need right now. I saw some references in the posts to the KY training

site. Then I realized it had been a few weeks since I visited the

yoga tech site. The daily meditation that is currently being posted

immediately caught my attention. I then noted that it was also

in "Transitions to a Heart Centered World." In the book, it is called

Smiling Buddha Kriya. I just checked the yoga tech site again now,

and it's not there anymore, but I KNOW I saw it there earlier. (I

don't think I'm losing my mind.....not just yet anyways.) It also had

the word Christ in the title when it was on the website. That's what

caught my attention. "Transitions" says this is an exercise

in 'happiness' and that it opens the flow of energy to the heart

center. There is also a quote by Yogi Bhajan directly underneath it

addressing "40 days of no negativity". This sounds exactly like what

I need. I'm going to begin this tonight.

 

Has anyone done this particular meditation? If not, I'll give it a

try and see what develops. I'm inclined to say that this may be my

next 40 day med. I'll let you know how it goes.

 

Sorry for the long post. But this one dream has really had me bugged,

because it felt so real. And to find the 'bread crumbs' on the

message board that leads me to a meditation that describes exactly

what I need ..... very strange!

Wow......quite the transformational dream. The mudra used in the kriya is

usually referred to as Christ mudra and the meditation itself really

enhances the positive mind, so I would imagine it will work on your self concept

and open that particular channel in your psyche where your

connection to your soul was blocked.......that's what causes us to hold onto

guilt and nows your chance to blow that right out of the water for

good!!!!!!Hurray!!!!!!!

What a wonderful experience, thank you for posting it. I've also had a

somewhat similar experience years ago where I was at the feet of Jesus and

he pulled me up to stand with him. I too felt "unworthy."

 

Your post also made a big impact on me because of a "mental fantasy" I had

this past Sunday night, so your post felt somehow like a validation to that

and that's got to be good because I feel a little shaky about it all at the

moment. I hope you won't mind if I try to briefly explain.

 

For years off and on I have been self-medicating with my "drug of choice",

I have also been a student of "A Course in Miracles". So for years I have

felt very conflicted about my desire for a more spiritual life and my

addictive behaviors. Sunday night I did a very unusual thing for me. I got

rid of my "stash" and thanked this substance for all the years of "faithful

service" it has given me. I held a little retirement ceremony for it,

thanking it, feeling love, appreciation and gratitude for it but at the

same time acknowledging that it's service is no longer needed.

 

Then I saw this little fantasy in my mind's eye where I held Jesus's hand

on the left and the herbs hand in my right, and this is how I have been

walking. I said goodbye by shaking the herb's hand and released it and it

went to the background. When I looked next in front of me there was Jesus

and the Guru of Kundalini, they were smiling and joking with each other and

seemed very happy that I would now walk with both of them. Jesus took my

left and the Guru of Kundalini took my right and we started to walk on.

 

I don't know if my addiction to this substance is really over. All I know

is for the past couple days I have felt unusually strong and wanting this

clarity of mind. When I start to feel even the slightest unsure I mentally

squeeze the hands and "pretend" the presence of these two beings at my side

and I do not feel the urge to get high. Instead I feel happy to put in my

next video lesson of KY. Today I will do lesson seven of the twelve lesson

series.

 

One other thing I find interesting, both Sunday night and last night I was

awoken because I had to go to the bathroom and it has been at around 3:45am

each time. The first night I thought about the time as being significant

but went right back to bed. Last night, instead of going right back to bed

I did a little bit of slow deep breathing, breath of fire, and then the Sat

Nam kriya. It was only maybe thirty seconds of each but at least it was

something to acknowledge the "wake up call"

 

I guess time will tell if this is real for me or just some fleeting

fantasy, but for today I feel good.

 

Thank you,

Sat Nam

I want to thank everyone for the feedback and support. I thought

about doing this kriya during my evening sadhana, and decided not to.

Instaid I waited until this morning and did it. At first, I thought

my arms would have a difficult time holding the mudra for 11 minutes.

But surprising I didn't have very much trouble at all. I'm not sure I

could just jump directly to 31 minutes though. What are the

progression of time frames? I think it goes from 11 to 21 or 22 but

I'm not positive. Then I think 31 comes next. I know the time factors

are pretty strict, so I want to make sure I get them correct on this

one.

 

Thanks!

Jena,

Your post has given me strength! I got chills all over when I read it. I loved

how Jesus was there along with "the guru of kundalini".

It was exactly what I needed to hear today!! Thank you thank you thank you.

And thank you KY list!
