If you have been in Sahaja since the age of 23 years (for 27 years),

then I hardly know what to say. You came in in your youth before you

were fully mature and all your adult life has so far been spent in

SY. If you had experienced meditation in any other way then you would

know that the experience is much the same whether in SY, through

music or some other technique.

 

It sounds like you need to get out and experience life and then you

can advise others on SY. The life led in SY is not life; it is a

particular restrictive mindset preventing a peron from experiencing

all that life has to offer and there are a great deal of threats and

fears abounding and expressed to keep you there.

 

I got out for two years once and continued to footsoak and meditate

daily. The music lured me back after I attended a public concert by

the " music of joy " music group in Australia. They are very talented

musicians. Incidently, footsoaking is a very old practice in many

cultures; it is not spiritual but physical. It stimulates the blood

circulation and has other benefits in the body leading to a relaxed

physical body much like asanas might. So it could be a preparation

for meditation or as in many cultures a way of refreshment after

daily toil etc.

 

I read a medical book recently which discussed among other things,

the nerves in the heart and the stomach. Apparently there are more

nerves in the stomach than in the brain, and more nerves in the heart

than in the brain; this has led some doctors o refer to the " thinking

heart " and the " thinking stomach " . People feel a great deal within

the heart and within the stomach. Much of the practices of SY are

centred around the heart and the stomach and stimulation of these

areas may indeed lead to some relaxing effects.

 

I made many friends in Sy; sadly some of them I can't really

commnicate with. One very dear lady, wishes to remain my friend,

however it is difficult ot have a relationship with someone who is so

indoctrinated that they believe that they must " not think " as

thinking is " non sahaj " . Trying to have a conversation with someone

who has switched off their brain is a bit difficult.

 

This beautiful lady has only been in SY for a few years and is

married to a SY male moron who keeps telling her that she is a bad

person and that it is his job to tell her this etc. She is being

subjected to psychological and emotional abuse by her doctor husband

who should know better. She has cried on my shoulder and been

exhausted as a young mother in emotional distress and been so

confused about her on identity and sense of self worth that I fear

for her sanity. Apparently this is not uncommon for women in arranged

marriages in SY. This was one of the reasons I left SY. It is not all

beer and skittles, it is mostly crap!!!
