[shriadishakti] Anahata Chakra - Please do not react!

[Guest guest]

Hi Jagbir,

 

I'm glad to hear a yogi of such caliber as yourself say that exercising is okay

if you are a Sahaja Yogi (below). I have been hesitant to tell other yogis that

I still work out because I feel they would be suspicious of me. I totally agree

with what you wrote below, 'excessive athletic competition simply develops into

an ego-oriented thing' which if I may also add...will eventually destroy your

swadisthan centre because of all the thinking that will develop! I learnt the

hard way through boxing - excessive athletic competition can destroy you

spiritually indeed and you can become a monster but I have always maintained to

myself that now I have corrected myself spiritually through Sahaja Yoga, it is

okay to continue working out as long as your meditation is of primary importance

- but sadly, I don't think people will listen to this until they have become

spiritually sick themselves.

 

Thank you for continuing to post such great information about spirituality,

 

Jai Sri Mataji,

 

Adam

 

 

 

 

 

1) Should a Sahaja Yogi completely avoid exercising since this can

affect one's anahata chakra? If yes, then can a person undertake

basic exercises like jogging, running, walking for health,

suryanamaskar and uthak-baithak? Will this also affect a Sahaja Yogi

in any manner?

 

There is absolutely no basis that exercise should be avoided to

protect one's anahata chakra. Please jog, run, walk, do

suryanamaskar and uthak-baithak (sit-ups) for the rest of your life.

There is nothing like a healthy body enjoying a Sahaja Yoga

lifestyle i.e. living a life of daily bliss and complete faith that

at last, after countless rebirths, we are on Earth with the Adi

Shakti to announce the Last Judgment and finally attain moksa!

 

Normal exercise will never affect a SY in any way whatsoever. It is

the extreme sports or activities that should be avoided. That is

why " excessive athletic competition simply develops into an ego-

oriented thing, with no real gain at the end of it. In a similar way

modern Hatha yoga is a form of athleticism which has no correlation

with the Spirit, and this too can harm the centre. Unfortunately

today Hatha yoga is mistaken for spirituality and people spend hours

doing all kinds of asanas (positions). By standing on our heads (or

wearing white/saffron robes or being vegetarian or whatever) we are

not going to know the Almighty Creator. "
