Guest guest Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 Hello, All, Over the past 2-3 weeks I've experienced a particular meditation coming my way from different sources. Here's an example: I'd been meditating with First Shakti Mantra (from Divine Mother Meditation in Transitions to a Heart Centered World) for several weeks and seemed to be having a hard time getting into it. I meditated with the mantra regularly and felt like something wasn't connecting. One night I attended a class, and during the rest period the teacher began singing to us. I quickly realized she was singing the First Shakti Mantra. It went right to my heart. She taught it to the class and we sang it as the closing meditation. The melodic version of this mantra was a revelation to me. I didn't want to stop singing it, either out loud or in my mind. Sometimes it was there when I woke up in the morning. I realize it could be a coincidence that the teacher taught this form of the mantra at just the time I needed it, but I can't help feeling there's more to it than random coincidence. I like to think of it as synchroniciy, what Carl Jung described as "meaningful coincidence". My latest example of this involves the Grace of God meditation. After class one evening a few weeks ago I was talking with the teacher and she asked if I'd ever done Grace of God meditation. I told her I wasn't familiar with it, and she emailed instructions to me a few days later. I began doing the meditation several times a week. Last weekend, Gururattan published the preliminary version of NMB #52. I saw it Monday a.m., but didn't have time to read it fully since I had to get to work. However, as I scrolled through it, I saw the meditation -- Grace of God! I take note when a meditation twice arrives in my Inbox in two weeks. Has anyone else noticed this type of synchronicity? (PS... I've found that First Shakti Mantra and Grace of God seem to go together. For me, they both have heart-opening effects that lead me to feel less critical of other people and more accepting.)

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 Sat Nam Cris- I read your email and was smiling the whole way through! I actually began studying ky as a result of syncronicity. I had been basically searching for something, not quite sure what, regarding spirituality. I was just very thirsty and wasn't feeling satisfied with attending church. In fact, I usually left church feeling worse. But I felt that way not because of what attending church did, but rather what it didn't do. I had gone expecting to feel something or get something out of it that I didn't get. So the 'worse' feeling was from my disappointment. Anyways, I was doing some reading on various spiritual texts and came across an excerpt that Edgar Cayce had written regarding Jesus. And as I read it, it made so much sense to me. I could 'feel' what he had written. And there was a reference to kundalini and chakras but it wasn't explained further. I was completely surprised because I recognised his name from grocery store tabloids, but had never read anything about him (due to my prejudice against the tabloids). So I immediately went to look for more info on Cayce. On his website he had another article on kundalini and chakras and what they were. He also highly recommended kundalini yoga. At this point, I was still in 'research' mode and wasn't totally committed to following through with the kundalini or kundalini yoga. And up to this piont, I had never heard the word chakra or kundalini before in my life. About a week later I was watching an episode of CSI (a US tv show) and it involved buddhist monks and the one scene had several comments regarding chakras. As the word chakras was being said on tv, I just sat their with my mouth wide open. The next day I went looking for some videos/books on kundalini yoga and started my practice. And I found the kundaliniyoga.org website (and this board) a few weeks after that. So, long answer to your question, 'yes, I have experienced syncronicity'. If something happens once, I chalk it up to coincidence. If it happens twice, I begin to consider it. If it happens 3 times, I get up off my bottom and move!

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 I must have somehow missed #52 of the New Millenium Being which someone said has the Grace of God Meditation. Can someone forward it to me. On the NMB site it only has through #46 Thanks Julia Juliamars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
