Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Dear Sarabjot Singh What you are sharing is very true regarding inviting the demons to tea with a neutral mind. To be clear the neutral mind does not mean not feeling! It means " not censoring " , it means accepting, it means participating with as much openness as we can muster with no judgment... We have to have all our senses aware. I'll give an example. One night I could not sleep. I was scared of a vampire. I don't usually have nightmares and when I do I usually wake up after it's over. I feel the energy of it and I find what scares me in my actual life and that's it. It is gone. I understand why the nightmare came to me. I can sleep again. But that night it was different, when I woke up I still felt the vampire scaring me and I was shocked. I could not sleep and escape him that way and i could not figure out what in my actual life brought a vampire after me, so I got up and started to write about it to learn about the whole scene... but could not get anywhere. This was before my Kundalini Yoga yoga days and knowing about the neutral mind so I was in exploring mode. I stumbled upon a new approach for myself quite by accident. This " new " approach was to welcome the vampire completely. So I accepted my fear and I still welcomed him at the same time I could both see him as in my nightmare and feel my reactions to him. I chose to accept the nightmare as it was instead of trying to change anything. I chose to allowed him to scare the wits out of me as thoroughly and completely as I could and felt loving toward him at the same time. I discovered that night that truly sending love is not sending anything at all consciously and is not an effort to avoid feeling what we fear from the other. It is an effort to accept the other exactly as he or she is and our reactions to them exactly as they are. By accepting the vampire's energy toward me exactly as it was, I experienced that light was pouring out of me toward him. Not because I sent it consciously as a protection for myself, but because I accepted both of us exactly as we were. And then a miracle of sorts happened. The vampire transformed... into me. The neediness was gone, transmuted. That was it. He never came back. Blessings, Awtar Singh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
