Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Hi Swami Kaur, Thanks for your post. You used the Numerology (http://www.3ho.org/)to keep yourself on track. Knowledge of your tendencies is very valuable. Once you "Know", then "Keeping up" is, in itself, the mantra. We just have to keep moving those karmas. It is so easy to get blown away, and give up and go try Dianetics ) or something else (Ben and Jerry's). This need to release from Through the Heart cannot be over emphasized. If there a any pain, anywhere in our body, mind or being it must come through the Heart and experienced fully before it is really "gone", forever. Otherwise it just keeps going around and around, and we just keep compensating and getting by, limping our way to the finish line. Yogiji says Excuses are Abuses. When we see a child running who falls and skins his knee. That little one cries out and releases the trauma in such an open way, that in five minutes that child is running and playing again, raw wound and everything, just like it never happened. We adults hold onto shit (trauma) and build complexes about it....get into partisan politics and whatnot. It becomes a much longer and complicated process. If this work isn't done through the heart, eventually, then one becomes manipulative, cold, blunt, hateful. It is even true that if the impurities manifest in the crown chakra, having gotten by the the Heart and the other centers, then the prospect of using the life force for black magic becomes attractive. I am not trying to scare anyone but this is a very real possibility.* If you have good friends or sangat around you, you'll be kept humble enough so this scenario wont manifest. This physical heart muscle needs to exercised, of course, through our aerobics and yoga but the devotional heart muscle needs exercise, too. Sangat (Sangha), honesty in our marriages, openess to the little animals is what works for me. I love listening to this piece ( http://sahej.com/Bow-Down.ram ) I have nothing against Jesus, the man, and his teachings. Nothing at all. It's just the institutional side that gets all backed up, leading the people astray. Yogiji has even said if you want to "love God, be a Christian..... If you want to be God, be a Sikh". On the more esoteric realm, I am also reminded the Ether Element correlates to the heart Center. A key aspect of Ether, and this is tangible, is that it is about "no resistance". We can sort of relate to it as our hand moves through the air, not hitting anything. It's not about being "for" or "against" anything. It is the space between things (electrons and atoms). That's what we get to relate to when we do Japji well. We get to be non-reactive on the Ether level. Thanks again, Dharam * If ever psychically asaulted or emotionally unsafe call on the spirit of Baba Siri Chand to handle the mess.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 SAT NAM Dharam, I would like to understand better to "Releasing from Heart". What would it mean exactly to release the pain through heart rather than building trauma around it? If you could explain how to do it that would be great. Right now, I have throat chakra pain and blockage show up. I want to make sure I release it the right way.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 I have just found out that I have something growing above my right ear. on my brain, I have thyroid problems (hypo) and prolapsed mitral valve. What can I do for this thing growing in my head? I see a neurologist in a few weeks, but I don't like the idea of surgery etc. Any suggestions? peace, sagemkm akkamahadevi avanti <akku96 wrote:SAT NAM Dharam, I would like to understand better to "Releasing from Heart".

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Sat Nam, I have never really thought I could put this into words and do justice to the process. So I will reference a couple of other experiences before attempting my own explanation. The first is prayer and the second is Sat Nam Rasayan (from Yogi Bhajan) student: What is prayer? How do we pray and what do we pray for? YB: The best prayer is when between you and God there's none. That is the best prayer. You feel His almighty existence, and He feels your existence. That is prayer. You feel Ang Sang Wahe Guru-you feel that in each limb of you, in each fiber of you, He is in them, and you are in His fiber. It's a feeling. Prayer is not rare. Prayer is when your need and your self are clean and clear, and the Infinite is with you. It's just thinking that "there's nothing good and bad, thinking makes it so." And when your thinking is very profound, excellent, then you are in prayer. You live in prayer. You walk in prayer, you talk in prayer, and you sleep in prayer. Prayer is all that which is keeping you alive. Sat Nam Rasayan (half decent write up at http://www.ralphmag.org/BG/anatomy-miracles.html) some diseases evolve from inner tendencies, but by using exercises that take one into a "sensitive space," one can help oneself and others towards a path to healing. Sat Nam Rasayan has five dogmas, * Regarding any event, all you know is what you feel; * You do not experience an event, you feel your sensations in relation with it; * Everything which appears in the relations is included in the relation; * Any intention you put into the relation will effect the relation in some way. The fifth dogma is my most favorite, and it goes, * There is no dogma. Anyone who carries that as a central part of his belief system deserves our sympathy and affection. The process of Sat Nam Rasayan is simple. The healer will sit in the meditative position next to the healee --- I just made up that word --- who can be sitting comfortably or lying down. Both will close their eyes and relax. The healer will go into the sacred space, and at some point, he'll gently place his hand on the arm of the healee, leave it there while "being empty." After twenty or so minutes, the session is done, and the healer may communicate whatever feelings or visions he encountered during the session BTW, Sat Nam Rasayan means "Elixer of Truth" My approach to an internal pain of any kind would be to first acknowledge it. That means to not judge it, to not label it or rationalize it in any way. Just be completely with it and not run away from it. Be silent to the mental dialogue (stop talking about the weather!) and let your the pain be touched by the neutral heart space. Just let it have expression from the heart...give it a voice, see what it would say if it could talk. This is something we do whenever we really DO our yoga consciously. WE want to let whatever needs to come up, to come up. Process fully and let flow happen again. That is the subjective physical and emotional process. It's a very Personal converstion. Another level of the conversation is that which is impersonal. It has to do with chanting meditations that we use insure that we are in alignment with the non personal aspect of creation. It's good insurance that our process is more fully baked. That's what the Aquarian Sadhana meditations (or any other mantras) are about. This work brings about that Union that yoga is defined as. We remove the distance between our head and our heart, between our body and our Soul. You can go as deep as you are ready to. One last thing. It is real good to see a good Homeopath. This can really help break stuff loose.
