Guest guest Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Dear Cardie, Do you mean, "To avoid being judgemental?" I would suggest working on your navel and removing the stimulus (i.e. stay away from the annoyance). Satnam.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Sat Nam, more than a chakra I would recommend working on one of the Ten Bodies: the Neutral Mind (the Fourth Body). The negative manifestation of the Neutral Mind sees us as opinionated and reactive. When the Neutral Mind is in balance we are integrated, responsive and of course, neutral. The Neutral Mind's virtue is Service, and the Guru who embodies this is Guru Ram Das (Service, Compassion, Integration) The key to balance the Neutral Mind is meditation. Do you feel working on this may be of help? Uttamjeet in Rome, Italy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Better said - you are right - " to avoid being judgemental " is what I want to learn.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Neutral Mind... My own personal challenge. The solution? Simple... Meditation. But any meditation you do for the Neutral Mind Body, in my opinion, must be done for at least 30+ minutes. Picking the right exercise is also important. Ideally you want something that will challenge and overcome the logical tendency of the brain so that you can start to find a place of neutrality... Part of that is doing extended times, so it's recommended to settle into 40 days at 11 minutes followed by 90 days at 33 minutes. The first 40 days begins to break the old habit, while the next 90 days builds a consistent habit of 33 minute meditation. The breakthrough you make at around 31-32 minutes is essential for building that neutral minded ability. The second part is which exercise to choose. Guru Dev Singh gave me a particular meditation that I would like to put onto paper someday soon and share, which I found was particularly useful for helping me find a way around my " logic brain " as my teacher calls it. The endless analysis of information gets one no closer to actually knowing something... So when the limits of your logical mind run out, you do this meditation for intuition for 40+90. Now, I don't mean to tease... but you must give me a few days (or weeks) to get in onto paper, compiled with some other people's notes, and I'd probably have to check with one of my teachers before handing it out. In the meantime, exercises like Sa Ta Na Ma 2nd wave, or Kirtan Kriya are excellent start point (and are very similar). These " playing the fingers " exercises challenge and stimulate the brain, and ultimately tire it out. They also build intuition. Anything that enhances intuition is excellent for the Neutral Mind. Building your intuition - and the platform from where to hear it - provides a new vantage point from which to " judge " (rather: " experience " ) the events around you. Essentially, to me, intuition is the essence of the Neutral Mind - it's when you know the answer to anything by just simply not reacting. Baring the " logic brain " meditation (I can't promise it, but I'll see what I can do...), I'd suggest starting with one of those types of meditation for 40 days and working up to 33 minutes for 90 days.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hello, I've been doing gan pattee for 31 minutes. So I should up it to 33 minutes? What is the longest I can do. I read 2 hours but realistically what should I be aiming for. Thanks, Paula On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 11:36 AM, fatehsinghnyc <filipfilip wrote: Neutral Mind...My own personal challenge.The solution?

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 It helps not to feel alone! I like the neutral mind POV and goal. Another book by Yogi Bhajan was recommended: The Mind: It’s projections and multiple facets which I look forward to reading. Although practicing KY I went on my first Breathwalk this morning and was very impressed with the effect and experience. Thanks for your comments.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 sodarshan chakra kriya is good for the neutral mind, but it is an advanced kriya. Nabhi kriya works on your navel center.
