feel block to heart

[Guest guest]

I have been very sick and wasting away. I feel my heart calling for me but

cannot connect, cannot cry. I have tried and cannot.

My life feels wiped out, I believe I need to start fresh.

 

Is there a simple meditation or Kriya for helping me to connect to the love in

my heart that is blocked and distant? I believe a new purpose for living is

about to reveal itself once my heart is open.

Please help.

Blessings,

Sangeet

o dear sangeet, your pain seems so real to me, i have had so much pain

in my heart recently. i don't have any advice for you; i know some of

the knowledgeable people here will soon flood you with suggestions and

all of us will send thoughts of love and support your way. it is

wonderful that you have hope; hope will bring good things to you.

wait, i do have some advice. the other night i lay in my bed crying in

pain and feelings of betrayal and i just curled up in a ball and called

out to MA. i pictured the Divine Mother wrapping warm white wings around

me and holding me while i cried, and guess what: it helped. i also put a

cd of guru ganesha singh chanting ra-ma-da-sa-sa-say-so-hung on my cd

player every night to send me to sleep, and i listen to it during the

day too. this has helped too.

and i remind myself all the time: this is not the final feeling.

please be brave sangeet. things will get better.

love, blessings,

Dear Sangeet,

 

There are plenty of meditations and a whole choice in Transitions to a Heart

Centered World. The one on Divine Shield is very powerful. We did it in

class the other night and the students said they thought it should be

renamed because it connected them with their hearts. They suggested Heart

Connection.

 

Also when you go to bed at night or any other time put both hands on your

heart and focus there. It may take a little time to build up, but the

connection is very powerful.

You can also do this and chant long saaat naaams.

This approach is a sure winner. You Will open your heart to yourself!

Sat Nam Sangeet,

You have managed to lose touch with the "Source" of your being.

When our hearts get really blocked, it is often the case that we are

operating from first chakra resistance and very powerful thoughts that

are not cultivating a sense of security and groundedness which I promise

you is thoroughly affecting your heart center. Several meditations were

suggested by others on this list and you can pick from them, but as

preparation you will want to do yoga set or at least a few warm ups. One

of those warm ups should be around 2 minutes of Body Drops ( I hope you

know this exercise) Really apply yourself. Subject yourSELF. This alone

will stimulate and balance your First Chakra and immediately change your

energy patterns. Lay down for a couple of minutes after that and really

let go.

There is also a tremendous set on page 62 of Transitions to a Heart

Centered World (

go/start.cgi/store/shop.html?showprod=P01001 )

It's one of my favorites for moving the heavy heart. You can adjust the

times a little.

Do you like movies? Then I suggest you rent "The Color Purple" (rent

again if you seen it already). It's really showing the full range of the

emotions of the heart, not just some, and you can resonate with some of

these aspects.

Don't forget to Tune in deeply. You can even do the below meditation.

You'll move through this. (BTW, what is your birthday?)

THE COMPLETE ADI MANTRA FOR INDIVIDUAL MEDITATION

 

To center yourself before a set of Kundalini Yoga we chant the Adi

Mantra 3 - 5 times. Adi means the first or primal; Mantra is the

creative projection of the mind through sound. This mantra is the first

creative action. It centers you into the higher self and reminds your

lower minds that it is not your ego that will practice or teach

Kundalini Yoga. Technically it is the linking mantra for the Golden

Chain. The golden chain is the inner spark of Kundalini that is passed

person to person; teacher to student; guru to teacher; cosmos and God to

guru. By chanting this and linking, the exercises and meditations that

you practice are guided by your higher consciousness and all the

teachers that have brought this opportunity to you. It makes you very

receptive and sensitive to the messages of your body, mind, and

intuition. HOWEVER, it is only to be used as a link when you are to

teach. It is not like an individual mantra which is complete in itself.

It is a hook that creates a flow which you serve. If your need is

spiritual linkage and guidance then there is another form that is used:

the complete Adi Mantra. The complete individual form of the mantra

immerses you in awareness and guidance for your personal situation. It

establishes a guiding beam between you in your immediate state and your

higher consciousness that is true through all states. It is very useful

if you are entering Shakti Pad in Kundalini Yoga. It is also excellent

as a means to gain perspective and direction. Yogi Bhajan explained this

when he said, "Use this mantra in its complete form anytime you have a

lack of faith or any similar thing: Many of you will enter Shakti Pad,

or you are in it, this mantra will help: With the grace of Guru Ram Das,

when this mantra is chanted five times on one breath, the total

spiritual knowledge of all teachers who have ever existed or who will

ever exist on this earth is beseated in that person."

 

HOW TO RECITE: Sit in an easy pose with your spine erect. Bring both

palms in front of the heart center of the chest facing upward. Touch the

sides of the palms along the little fingers and sides of the hands, as

if you will receive something in them. Form Gian mudra in each hand by

gently touching the tip of the first finger to the tip of the thumb.

Focus your eyes on the tip of the nose. Inhale deeply and chant the

words as you exhale. Chant the entire mantra three to five times on one

breath. Keep the number of repetitions per breath constant. The sound

Dev is chanted a minor third higher than the other sounds. The sound of

devaa carries slightly on the 'aa' sound.

 

THE MANTRA: ONG NAMO GURU DEV NAMO GURU DEV NAMO GURU DEVAAAAAAAA

 

* to listen to an audio clip of it,

http://www.sahej.com/Adi-mantra_long-form.ram

 

Continue 11 to 31 minutes for a powerful meditation and guidance. He did

not restrict longer periods of practice if you desire it.

 

The sound of Ong is created in the inner chambers of the sinuses and

upper palate. It is the "ng" sound that is emphasized. The first part of

Namo is short and rhymes with "hum". The first' syllable of the word

Guru is pronounced as in the word, "good." The second syllable, "ru",

has a sound that rhymes with the word "true." The word Dev rhymes with

"save." The aa in Devaa is chanted with the mouth open and the sound

vibrating as ah from an open throat.

 

THE MEANING: Ong is the creative energy of the total cosmos and

consciousness of the creator as experienced in this creation. It has the

connotation of energy and activity. It creates involvement without

attachment. It generates shakti, the generative force of life. Note that

the sound is not Om. That sound is for withdrawal and relaxation.

 

Namo means to bow to or to call on. The connotation is one of respect

and receptivity. It is the type of bowing that grants dignity through

acknowledging a higher consciousness and discipline.

 

Ong Namo calls on your consciousness to become subtle and receptive to

its own higher resources. It instructs the conscious and the

subconscious to let go of the normal restrictions to functioning that is

imposed by our limited ego. Guru means wisdom or teacher. It does not

mean a personality. It refers to a source of the knowledge. Not just any

knowledge. It is the kind of knowledge which transforms you, that

alleviates pain and that increases your awareness. Guru in the spiritual

context is the embodiment of the infinite. The word can be broken into

parts: Gu means darkness or ignorance; ru means light or knowledge; Gur

means a formula to systematically attain a goal; so a guru is something

which can give you a gur to transform your gu to ru! Dev means subtle,

etheric, divine or belonging to the realms of God. It implies

sophistication and wisdom.

 

Guru Dev Namo calls on the subtle wisdom that guides you in an

impersonally personal manner. It is a wisdom that is stored and

transmitted through the subtle and radiant bodies of the aura. It is the

realm and guidance of Guru Ram Das.

 

If the limited individual ego in which we normally live is a small pond,

then Ong Namo release us into a vast and endless ocean. Guru Dev Namo

gives us the experience of the wisest seer and all of his charts to

guide us to the many ports we are to serve and experience.
