RA MA DA SA SA SAY SO HUNG Meditation

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

 

Do any of the experienced group members have any feedback to offer Bliss on her

query (below)? My experiences are very similar.

 

Blessings,

Mon

 

 

 

Sat Nam,

 

Thank you for getting back and for all the excellent advice you provide.

 

During this meditation, there are no emotions when the tears begin to fall, only

a burning sensation and the tears. It's as if you are looking directly into the

sun, but without needing to squint, or turn away. What may seem odd, is that

the burning sensation doesn't cause me to stop meditating. I don't understand

why this happens the way it does. Is this the sub-conscience clearing itself

out? This experience also occurs during Sodarshan Chakra Kriya, where my body

sporatically, during sleep, becomes very hot. I needed to stop practicing

Sodarshan Kriya because of this. Does anyone have any suggestions, insight or

experience of this sort?

 

Peace Love & Light to All,

Bliss, NYC

Sat Nam All!

 

My name is Verette originally from Toronto, Canada - came to London, England

four years ago to care for my mother who suffered a stroke. She died this past

April 26. Without going into details I must say it has not been an easy

transition for me because I had to simply drop everything in Toronto and come

here

to care for my mother. I must hastily add here that I would have it no other

way. It has been an awesome experience being with my mother - talking with her

during the process of her crossing over. I would never have missed it for the

world. I happen to believe that that is one of the most important times in

our lives (my father died in my arms - another amazing experience). However now

that my work here is done, I am looking forward to moving back to Canada -

hopefully before the end of this year. Sorry I didn't mean to be long-winded

about this.

 

The purpose of my note to the group is to share my experience about with RA

MA DA SA SA SAY HUNG. First of all I must say how very much I have enjoyed

reading the notes and especially the response and encouragement from

Gururattan.

She is simply wonderful. I have been practicing KY on and off for a few years

now but I have been much more diligent since I've been in London. What a

tremendous blessing to have this Mantra - RA MA DA SA SA SAY HUNG - in our

lives.

Before I go any furthe I must say that for over 30 years I have had a lower

back problem - unable to do certain asanas. I could only watch other in Yoga

class and be envious. Finally I decided to make the most of this Mantra. For the

first time in 30 years I am able to lie flat on the floor, do leg raises and

certain other poses without sometimes crying out in pain, literally. This one

day I did just over 31 minutes of chanting this mantra back in early March of

this year. During chanting I began to notice that I started feeling cold and my

body tingling and shaking (room was warm) but by the time I had finished I was

so very weak and listless my whole body was like a bowl of jello and I became

very emotional. I was just about able to pull the blanket over me. I fell

asleep and for the next two days I experienced the most tranquil state I can

ever recall. For those two days I was not able to eat solid food. My body just

would not accept any food - just water! However, since I was not fasting I

thought it sensible to have something on the morning of the third day. That's

when

I began to experience the tremendous changes in my body - reduction of pain in

lower back. Healing had began and continues - getting better every day. I am

now able to do the Cobra!

 

Sorry for being so long-winded. It is so very important for us to share so

that others can be encouraged. Thank you for for your time.

 

Again, my most heartfelt gratitude to Yogi Bhajan, Gururattan Kaur Khalsa and

to Gurunam whose version of the Mantra I have been working with.

 

Sat Nam

Sat Nam, Mon and Bliss,

 

> During this meditation,

 

RA is the Sun. You are calling upon the Sun when you chant RA.

 

there are no emotions when the tears begin to fall, only a burning

sensation and the tears.

 

* Tears for me mean that I am tuning into a truth.

 

It's as if you are looking directly into the sun, but without needing to

squint, or turn away.

 

* This is the fire element and yes it is also the Sun energy. When this

happens tune into the Sun by blessing and thanking the Sun for all the

warmth and the purification. In the Sun energy nothing bit pure purity can

endure. Then ask the Sun to bless you with purity of heart. And then just

feel it. Feel it in your heart. The Sun will purify your heart.

 

This is a good opportunity to develop a relationship with the Sun. The

relationship will be uniquely yours. The relationship is cultivated by

blessing and asking for blessings. Keep the two way communication going.

And it is through the heart that this communication builds. Simply be with

the Sun in your heart and it will teach you.

 

> What may seem odd, is that the burning sensation doesn't cause me to stop

meditating.

 

* This is an indication that it is pure fire energy.

 

I don't understand why this happens the way it does. Is this the

sub-conscience clearing itself out?

 

* That is part of it.

 

This experience also occurs during Sodarshan Chakra Kriya, where my body

sporatically, during sleep, becomes very hot. I needed to stop practicing

Sodarshan Kriya because of this.

 

* Use the fire in the navel to bring it to the heart and open the heart.

This might reduce some of the heat, which needs to be distributed up to the

heart.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions, insight or experience of this sort?

 

* I had an experience with this energy, but it got to hot for me to sustain.

 

* To cool down do sitali breath. Inhale through the curled tongue and

exhale through the mouth, long and deep.

 

Now you sweet, persistant ladies, I hope I have helped you a bit. :+)

Dear Verette,

 

Thank you so much for sharing your inspiration healing story. It is

important for everyone to know what we have to go through to get the

breakthroughs. Sometimes we stop because we think something is the matter,

when in fact we are in the midst of cleansing that will make healing

possible.

 

I listen to the Gurunam version of RA MA ... every night as I go to sleep.

(it is available on www.yogatech.com ) It is so soothing.

 

>I happen to believe that that is one of the most important times in our

lives (my father died in my arms - another amazing experience).

 

* This is very touching and inspirational. Thanks for sharing this love

story.

PS You are most welcome!!

Sat Nam Gururattan,

 

This is excellent! You are truly a Godsend! As always your knowledge & caring

that comes across is so graciously appreciated. Thank you so much!

 

A great big "Thank You" also goes out to all the wonderful Yogis and Yoginis,

like Gururattan who participate in this group, and continue to help those who

need help, through this beautiful form of Kundalini Yoga.

 

Lastly, there are no words to describe my thanks and gratitude to Yogi Bhajan

for having brought this wounderous Gift of Kundalini Yoga to the West.

 

Thank you Yogi Bhajan! You are in my prayers -->

Kundaliniyoga/

 

Blessings to all,

Sat Nam Gururattan,

 

Thank you so much for this!

 

Can you go into a little detail about "tuning into a truth"? Is this a truth

buried within the subconscience, as nothing consciously surfaces when

practicing. During this meditation, my mind has become very focused on the

mantra when saying it aloud, and I visualise the words when silent, thus making

it difficult to visualise a white or green light surrounding me.

 

When "giving thanks to sun", should this be done during, or after the

meditation?

 

Thank you again, for all your priceless knowledge Gururattan, for I, like many

others out there, am so grateful to you, and the other knowledgeable teachers

and students in this group. My abundant thanks also goes to all my wonderful

teachers, and to our Beloved Yogi Bhajan, who brought us the wonderous Jewel of

Light called Kundalini Yoga. I am steeped in gratitude and pray for his

recovery.

 

You are all Divine Messengers of God.

 

Blessings, Peace, Love & Light,

Sat Nam,

Bliss

Dear Bliss,

 

> Thank you so much for this!

 

You are most welcome.

 

> Can you go into a little detail about "tuning into a truth"?

 

* This comes through awareness. Practice being aware, simply listening,

seeing, feeling and perceiving what IS. This can be a simple as feeling the

air on your skin and the movement of the breath in your body.

 

Is this a truth buried within the subconscience, as nothing consciously

surfaces when practicing.

 

* It could be buried in the subconscious or perhaps the subconscious is

covering it up is another way to look at it.

We have to get out of the way to tune into the various levels of truth.

 

During this meditation, my mind has become very focused on the mantra when

saying it aloud, and I visualise the words when silent,

 

* This is a useful technique for some to help focus the mind.

 

thus making it difficult to visualise a white or green light surrounding

me.

 

* If visualizing is making up some idea it is only marginally useful. If

you are aware eventually you will feel the nature of the energy that

surrounds you.

 

* You are using your mind to DO something. This is ok and is a stage of

meditation. Next you have to cultivate awareness.

 

* Frankly, I am not into visualization. It makes my mind tired. I prefer to

relax my mind and just be present.

 

>

> When "giving thanks to sun", should this be done during, or after the

meditation?

 

* Before and after. During is when you focus the mind on the sound of the

mantra, the breath and the feelings in your body. During you cultivate

focus, concentration and awareness. We start out with mantras, sounds,

breath and feeling so we have a way to focus the mind. Over time you can

focus on what IS. Awareness comes second. You evolve into a state of

awareness.

 

Keep up your practice and enjoy the exploration and the evolution of

consciousness.

 

Sat Nam,

 

Gururattan Kaur
