Guest guest Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 Hello Everyone, I just had an odd experience while doing the Divine Mother meditation. I started it eight days ago, and am now up to 6 mins for the first part, 5 mins for both the second and third, and eighteen mins for the fourth. My shoulders and neck have been really sore as a result, but today I managed to stay in my body/ heart for most of it and lost awareness of my arms. However, when I came out of it my whole neck shoulder and arm area felt really awful - sore isn't exactly the word, it felt more like they were frozen and burning, if that makes any sense. I've never experienced anything like it before -it was a horrible sensation. I put moist heat around my neck and shoulders and feel a lot more normal now - it just hurts in the regular way. I'm wondering if Deva or anyone else has experienced anything like this while doing this meditation? I'm wondering if I went too far too fast? Yet I've only been adding one a min a day and yesterday it just hurt. I might add that my C2 is out of place, and I think it makes this meditation particularly hard on my body. My experience of the meditation itself today was amazing. It was the aftermath that was awful !!!!! Any thoughts on this ?

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 If you have any problems at all with the neck and shoulders meditation holding the arms up can aggravate those problems, so need to be approached with caution. Sometimes visualizing yours arms in place can be substituted if the right amount of concentration is there. This works because the mind will create a magnetic field that is more or less the same as the magnetic field being created by the arms up, which is the whole point of it.

I would add that holding up the arms for a certain amount of time and then putting them down would enhance the ability to hold the concentration and build the magnetic field. Just the relief would create quite an effect. :+) Sat Nam, Gururattan Kaur > > Seva Simran > > > > "OUR DESTINY IS TO BE HAPPY" > - Yogi Bhajan > > You can UNSUBSCRIBE from this list at the Groups Member Center (My Groups), or send mail to > Kundaliniyoga > NO UNSUBSCRIBE REQUESTS TO THE LIST PLEASE! > WEB SITE: kundalini yoga > > KUNDALINI YOGA ON-LINE TRAINING.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2003 Report Share Posted January 4, 2003 Sat Nam Jeffrey, "I started Divine Mother Meditation 31 Dec." Its exciting to watch a meditation 'unfold'. Are you doing 40 days? My favorite time is right after the meditation when I get to sit in silence and just drift in a sea of...??? Its easy to go to 'that place'. Keep up!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2003 Report Share Posted January 4, 2003 I've a question about the Divine Mother Meditation. Where did the times - 31 mins for the first three parts and 62 for the last -come from ? They are not in Gururattan's book, and neither are they in my Teacher Training Manual. I found an old handout I got from my teacher years ago and it quotes YB as giving the times as a few mins each for the first three parts and 31 mins for the last. Unfortunately the handout gives no clue as to where it comes from. I'm at a loss to know what Yogi Bhajan's directions really were. Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 Sat Nam Avtar, others Here is a repost of one of Gururattan's (there may have been another) recent posts on Divine Mother and the related thread. This is when I took up the 'challenge'. "Sat Nam, Thank you Thomas and Gian Kaur, and others for your letters. OK, you want to know how to develop supernatural powers. Here is the secret formula. THE FORMULA 1. Develop an intimate relationship with the Divine Feminine, the creative force of the universe. 2. See every woman as a goddess and relate to every woman as the embodiment of the Divine Feminine. 3. Contain and be in touch with your emotions and your emotional body. Train yourself to be emotionally available to yourself and emotionally available in all relationships with both men and women. 4. Relate to everyone and everything exactly the way it is. Have no expectations. Live in non-judgment. 5. Surrender to and trust Divine Will. Live in Divine Willingness. 6. Train yourself to be able to enter a woman's world, if you want a relationship with a woman. TECHNIQUES 1. Meditate on its contents of my book "The Destiny of Women Is the Destiny of the World," until you understand and embody them. Available on www.yogatech.com. 2. Chant Adi Shakti mantra for 31 or 62 minutes everyday. This is part of The Meditation on the Divine Mother, which you can find in my book "Transitions to a Heart Centered World." Also available on www.yogatech.com. This meditation should be done for 1000 days to attain mastery. This meditation "gives concentration and the power of mental beaming. It tunes the practitioner into the frequency of the Divine Mother and primal, protective and generating energy. It eliminates fears and fulfills desires. It gives the power of action by removing blocks of insecurity. You will be able to see the interplay of manifest and unmanifest in the cosmos and in man's consciousness." (P. 141) 3. Do Divine Mother Principle Mediation everyday for 31 minutes, also 1000 days. This gives you the power to surrender to Divine Love. Practice with devotion. This meditation is in the back of The Destiny of Women. GAGING YOUR PROGRESS How will you know you are making progress? The ultimate test for men is that women will no longer criticize you. Women will recognize you for who you are -- a unique embodiment of God. You will have very magnetic relationships with women. The above formula works for women too. Women must learn to recognize themselves as the embodiment of the Divine Feminine and live every moment from this true identity. Women must learn to end all criticism of themselves and unconditionally love themselves. The ultimate test for a woman is that she will no longer feel any need for a man, but will attract an emotionally available partner in her life, if she chooses to cultivate this Divine Connection in human form. Please share your results with us. Don't wait the full 1000 days which is almost 3 years. If you follow the above program, I can guarantee that your life will be changed forever. Most sincerely, it would be awesome if someone would actually do the above program. Wow. Talk about changing your life and contributing to the transformation of planetary consciousness! Sat Nam, Gururattan Kaur" Blessings Deva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
