Mastery... and the morning hours

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam...Good morning Everyone!

 

I feel wonderful today. I have mastery on my mind. Just sitting

here now I realize this is very close to the day I began Kundalini

yoga 4 years ago. When we begin to wonder about, how do we become

masterful in our KY practices, we are given the advice, to practice

something for 1000 days in a row, which works out roughly to about 3

years.

 

Although I began practicing KY 4 years ago, I did not begin a

committed daily practice of it, until about 9 months later...so I

realize with that said, there are certain things I have been doing

every day now, for over 3 years.

 

One of them is tuning in with the Adi mantra and "tuning out" with

Sat Nam. My teacher has told us in the past, that you know that you

have mastered a mantra, if you can be aware of, and witness, it's

full effect on your consciousness. Ever since he told us that, I

have been paying deeper attention to how each mantra affects my

consciousness.

 

This morning as I tuned in, I was reminded of this and also of, how

I used to feel I was just "passing" time, while meditating, in the

earlier days of my practice. I am so happy that I have given it the

time and attention that it takes to build the momentum towards

mastering meditation. I'm not suggesting that I have mastered it,

by any means (ha ha!).... But only that my capacity to experience

the effects of a mantra chanted, has increased exponentially, from

where I started from, in the past.

 

As I pressed my hands together at the center of my heart this

morning and began to softly chant....Onnnnng NAmoooo Guru Deeeev

Namoooo...a feeling that I have experienced many times before while

chanting emerged. It's what I call " the sweetness"...a feeling of

your world expanding, boundaries falling away and being enveloped in

what feels like "liquid silk"...it flows through every cell of my

being...it's within me and without me...and I feel so complete...and

whole. My world in this moment has become illuminated with the

energy of love...I gently contemplate to myslef...this must be

love?....because there are... no conditions.... and it simply...just

is. It's a state of being.

 

As I finish my last meditation and draw my hands together once

more...as I chant Saaaaaaat Naam... I notice the feeling of my

tongue, gently tapping the roof of my mouth as I form the word Nam

and as my lips come together to complete the word, I feel as I have

been kissed by the Divine.

 

And that's why I feel wonderful today!! Ha ha! Ha ha!

 

Now I actually have a question in all of this…..but I think I'll do

a part 2 posting, for that!

 

Saaaaat Naam...

 

May all Divinity grace our lives and consciousnesses,
