120 Days Heart Opening

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam Yogis, lurkers..

 

Today is 120 days i've been doing Divine Mother (p141 Transitions)

 

meditation. I was 'anticipating' more but felt last night that there

 

wouldn't be any 'fireworks' so to speak, I was right.

 

 

I'm used to doing prana-raising, Kundalini-raising meditations and the

 

effects are extreme at intervals oftentimes.

 

 

Well I do feel my heart center opening. Its no longer something I

 

wonder about cause I now know when I'm in my head vs. my heart, I

 

can physically feel it! Naturally during the day I'll drift back, most

 

of us live from the head some during the day, but then I can practice

 

opening the heart. This is something the meditation has taught me, to

 

avoid the pain felt with the arms upraised, I realized the pain was

 

coming from that false sense of seperation...then I began opening the

 

heart space realizing that eveything happens there and at the same time

 

(SNR practice experience helped here). This intense focus on the heart

 

has allowd me to feel my heart centeredness during my waking day.

 

I've also realized that pain IS bliss, hmmm someone told me that

 

once.:-) Of course its not bliss all of the time, sometimes its just

 

good, old-fashioned, nagging pain, but that reminds me to go back to

 

heart center!

 

Hang with me, I know this is long-winded. I've also curiously

 

noted that there is a tremendous energy bulid up soon after beginning.

 

Its a very pleasant light headed feeling the flipside to this is it

 

makes concentration on the heart center, the Divine Mother and the

 

mantra real challenging. Its hard to sit still at times, I feel it in

 

my head and my whole body. The body seems to work to absorb it. This

 

is almost a 'vertigo' sensation.

 

 

Well thats it for now, on to a year!

 

 

Blessings

Dear Deva,

 

Thanks so much for your update and progress on Divine Mother Meditation.

The results both evolveover time and happen at specific intervals, i.e. 40

days, 90 days and 120 days. It is good not to expect a big breakthrough a

these times, but keep watching. Insights pop up when we least notice.

 

Of course, opening the heart chakra with the results you have described is

the biggest gift of all.

 

Somehow I quit counting too after 120 days and just go for the year, or 1000

days which I am currently doing for Brainwave meditation. But I am thinking

of keeping track of the other 90 and 120 day intervals. You might like to

do so too. It could make it more interesting to chart your results. Keeps

the game part going too.

 

Congratulations. I am sure a man doing this meditation for 120 and for 1

year is a first for mankind!

Thanks for posting this Deva! I just finished my 40-day Smiling

Buddha meditation last friday. I was toying with trying this one

before doing the Smiling Buddha, but opted against it. I was

rethinking that again for another one. And your email has convinced

me.

 

And WOW....120 days?!?! I can't fathom 1 year or 1,000 at this point.

I was tickled pink that I was able to do 90!

Sat Nam Gururattan,

 

Thanks for the kind words.

 

"Congratulations. I am sure a man doing this meditation for 120 and for

1 year is a first for mankind!"

 

I feel like I'm finally doing now what I always wanted, to make a

'radical change' in my consiousness. I always found good excuses

before, usually too busy having fun:-)

Funny thing is now that I'm working on 'me' I realize that its really

not that hard after all, the ego

LIES!

 

Divine Mother is one of those meditations that after you do it for

twenty minutes you think, 'wow this could be painful if we had to do it

at White Tantric!' Then after a few weeks you realize you could do it

for 2.5 hrs if put to the test!!!:-)

 

Blessings

This is so cool.

:+) Yes!

 

 

I remember once Yogi Bhajan told me to do a meditation for 180 days. So my

thought was that if you wanted to keep track of intervals to continue to

count in 90 and 180 day periods. I think that is what I am going to do. I

like watching the timing of shifts.

 

I remember how happy I was that I had completed 90 days. Yes, it was one of

THOSE meditations! I had to work up to 31 minutes, one minute at a time.

I had to change my whole life style around because if I didn't eat and sleep

exactly right I couldn't do it. Then I met YB at winter solstice and he

told me to do another 90 days!

 

Someday I will write this one up -- the sphynx kriya. It was said that if

you did it, you would do your destiny. I wanted so much to know what my

destiny was and to do it, I was willing to do this. I know I am doing my

destiny now and this is very comforting to me.

 

Blessings to all,

BTW, I'm still digesting the NMBeing #54. It is beautifully written and a

wealth of understanding. Thank you so very much for sharing this wisdom.
