Eliminating negative emotions to manifest your true self

In the tough journey through countless births, it is a unique blessing to be born as a human being.  The human birth gives us the exclusive opportunity to pursue the Purusharthas , which are:

1. Dharma (righteousness),

2. Artha (wealth),

3. Kama (desire) and

4. Moksha (salvation).

Even in our brief life span, there is the inbuilt chance to gain access to knowledge of God, experience His infinite greatness, and seek salvation.

We are all immortal souls living and growing in the great school of earthly experience in which we have lived many lives. A great sage once said:  there is one thing God cannot do: God cannot separate Himself from us. We are the undying consciousness and energy flowing through all things. Our energy and God's energy are the same, both coming out of the void. Deep inside we are perfect this very moment, and we have only to discover and live up to this perfection to be whole.

This bountiful creation called the world is meant for us to live positively in it, facing karma and fulfilling dharma.  We can live joyously, without despising or fearing the world. We fulfil our desires, shape our destiny and our souls get matured here. Through our journey, we grow from ignorance into wisdom, from darkness into light and from a consciousness of death to immortality.

The world is a glorious place, a playground for humans, where young souls interrelate with the old; the young experiencing their karma while the old souls hold firmly to their dharma. The young grow; the old know. We have to take care to not become immersed in worldliness but to remain affectionately detached, like a drop of water on a lotus leaf, being in the world but not of it, walking in the rain without getting wet.

As we go about our daily duties, we tend to get stressed, worry about even insignificant things and get angry when our wishes don’t get fulfilled or events don’t progress our way.

About 70% of our physical body is made up of water. Two thirds of this water is located inside our cells and one-third outside our cells. Water is often perceived as God, Goddess, or divine agency in many religions. Water reminds us to dive beneath the surface of our feelings and use intuition for better understanding. Water is a sacred being that holds life on earth; a seed in the soil does not germinate until it receives water, which demonstrates that it is the spirit of water that ignites the production of life. From a spiritual perspective, through the spiritual networks, planet earth is seen as an irregular ball immersed in water. If the sacred gift of earth is life, then water is the custodian of life.

Water is the reconnecting element between our materialistic life and the spiritual world. Water conducts energy and is very transformable. Taking a dip in the ocean or any natural body of water, even getting your feet wet in salt water draws out toxins and the healing negative ions induce serotonin release, alleviate depression, relieve stress, and increase energy.

Today let us take the blessing from water to release three negative emotions that hold back our life.  Let us do this short exercise to remove stress, worry and anger. We will imagine the waves of an ocean. Its water is salty. Salt is a mineral known for its capability to extract and absorb negative energies.

On the spiritual pathway...

There is a popular misconception that if you are spiritual, nothing bad will ever happen to you. Good or bad are the labels that we put on external occurrences. These can lead to ecstasy, deep sorrow and depression in ordinary people. One with roots in spirituality will not be carried away to both the extremes, that is the difference.

Along the spiritual path lies a lot of self work as we have accumulated vasanas like knots over many incarnations, and they need to be slowly untangled. I started my journey right from childhood and during the lockdown period I thought of hastening the process. Since it was totally stay at home, I thought that I got a golden opportunity to hasten my efforts. I strived to keep my mind on the higher dimensions through the day, to continuously chant mentally, to have virtual discussions with likeminded people and to do multiple meditations.

As I kept going deeper, it was like more and more inner rooms were opening up in the heart realm. Rooms filled with cobwebs, grime, dirt and darkness. The satisfaction derived after each one got cleansed was tremendous. As human beings it is our weakness to look for some validation that we are going in the right direction

After a few days of such practice I asked the Universe for a sign to confirm this while  I was burning the ghee lamp for my deity. Usually after it burns down completely, it looks somewhat like this;

But that day I was surprised and overjoyed to see a different pattern:

I saw the picture of heart, there was darkness in the center, but it was flowing out. Sooner or later a total cleansing and opening up of my heart realm is definitely going to happen. That assurance has made me strengthen my resolution to continue my efforts patiently.

Healing blocked emotions

As we pass through life, many heart wrenching experiences come along, which change our way of looking at life and we form some core beliefs. These core beliefs colour our behaviour and with time, we may forget the emotion that was the basis for this belief. Because that emotion is too painful to experience on a daily basis, for our well being, it is buried deep in the back heart chakra. 

Back heart chakra is situated at the back of the chest in the centre. At the centre of the chest in front of the body is your front heart chakra. This video helps you to remove emotions that are blocked , to bring about a shift in your core beliefs, changing the quality of your life. Enjoy....

For clarity, calmness, and focus, 6 April 2020

Whatever happens with and around us are solely because of us. We are totally responsible for the good, and the not so good things that happen. If we can have more awareness, calmness and clarity, we can expand our focus and work towards our goal. This short video will help you achieve this.

It is time to own up (hu)man(s)!

Yesterday I was watching the Mahabharat episode wherein Dhritarashtra was lamenting to his wife Gandhari, “I was born blind because of my mother. She closed her eyes at the time of union with the Rishi. I lost the royal crown due to my blindness.” The wise Gandhari pacified him saying, “It will help us to lead a normal life if we learn to make peace with our destiny.”

Destiny , the result of yesterday’s karma

We are born with our destiny that was formulated from our previous karma. We need to own up the responsibility for our destiny and try to change our future destiny, by changing today’s karma. If you look around, it is interesting to see that nobody wants to own up the responsibility for their karma (actions). “I am suffering because of inner child trauma, because of ancestral trauma, because my partner is narcissistic, because of trauma bonding” are common than, “Oh, I did this mistake, it was a wrong decision on my part. I feel really sorry for that. Now I will take decisions more carefully, consciously, after deep thought.”

Advice from our scriptures

Our sages told, “Whatever happens with and around you, are solely because of you. You exist, so the problems exist.” Then they guide us how to take decisions in life. One need to consider all the possible outcomes of an action, even the worst case scenario. It is foolish to think that, “He is my close friend, I can be a guarantor for him for this huge loan. He will never cheat me” Circumstances may change, for example, the friend’s house may catch fire, destroying all his possessions. He defaults payment and you will be in soup.

So, what is the approach? At the time of agreeing to be a guarantor itself, consider the worst case scenario of you being forced to repay the loan. If it is ok with you, go ahead and do it. And then if it happens like that, there is no need to repent. That is another aspect lacking in many people around, they keep on lamenting on the old decisions taken. We need to do our karma acording to our dharma, like dharma of a father/mother/wife/doctor etc.,

New age spiritualism parallels allopathy

When you compare new age spiritualism to allopathy, it is interesting to see similar approach to problems. Allopathy is always seeking reasons for diseases outside. It never cures ailments, just suppresses symptoms. We should remember that allopathy is irreplaceable in emergency situations. Long term consumption of any allopathy drug is damaging to the body. Every deviation from normal bodily functions is considered as a disease and ‘patients’ are put on lifelong medication. Here you can watch a conscientious doctor in Canada who is curing thousands of people with diabetes by dietary changes. According to him, diabetes is a dietary disorder, not a disease.

Same approach comes from the new age spiritual healing. You keep on undergoing therapy after therapy. Once you finish one therapy, there is another outside cause for your miserable condition that needs therapy. As long as we find another person or outside circumstance the reason for our misery, it is never going to end. It is time we took total responsibility for whatever we suffer and find solutions by taking correct decisions. Remember whatever you come across in life, are totally the fruits of your own actions!

No time for spiritual pursuit?

There is this Reiki master who periodically requests me to give Reiki healing to her family members. We must have been in contact for about a decade. Recently she asked me to give healing for her father. I told that I will program the healing in such a way that it will pass through her when she is healing him. I have found this practice to be effective. It gives additional advantage that the healer through whom my healing energy passes can feel the surge of energy and they are happy with the healing that their loved one is receiving.

Hectic life

I was shocked to see the response: “Mam, Due to hectic work pressure, I left giving Reiki to others. Let me energize my chakras and recollect all the process.Now you can give him directly.””

A Reiki master, leaving self healing practice and not giving Reiki to her husband and small kids, especially during this lockdown period due to the virus problem  was beyond me. This is even after many miraculous incidents she had experienced with Reiki.

The priorities

This made me think how many people must be having correct  priorities in life. First and foremost should be one’s own health. You can serve others only if you are healthy. Allotting time for self every day is essential. Then comes the duty to the family. You have brought your kids to the world; they need to be taken care of and given proper values of life. The latter cannot be given by anybody else. When my daughter was a small kid, on our return from  visit to a friend who had in-house maid, she innocently asked me, “Will there be difference in the character of that child and the maid’s child as both are brought up by the maid?”

After these two only should come one’s job. If you put it in the first place, there will be great many reasons to regret at the time of leaving this earth.

Spiritual pursuit is the backbone of life

To do all these duties in a totally dedicated and detached way, spiritual practices are of invaluable help. At this moment in time, when people are panicking and in great fear because of the Covid -19, it is those with regular spiritual practice who are at peace. We know that this attitude maintains the immunity.  You can choose whichever path that  suits you and keep working at it. Reiki is a very easy and flexible road to advance in spirituality. It takes you forward from whatever level you are at, at your own pace. I can vouch for it from my own experience and from thousands of people whom I taught Reiki and helped to heal through Reiki. If you have learned Reiki, please don’t stop self healing every day and healing your family. It is a dependable boat to take you across this ocean of life!

Is parenthood the sole purpose of life?

‘A woman’s life is not complete without experiencing motherhood’. ‘It is the deep desire of every woman to become a mother.’ These were the common sayings I started hearing from childhood. When I look at the olden days, the first saying made a lot of sense. A woman’s duty was to look after the house and just serve others. Then being a mother gave her an opportunity to call something her ‘very own’, the new life that was totally dependent on her gave her a sense of being someone in power.

And the second one, ‘It is the deep desire of every woman to become a mother’ no longer holds true. Many youngsters approach me to find a solution to the intense stress they experience by undue pressure from parents and in-laws to conceive and she is not interested at all.

Stress beyond imagination

No doubt, motherhood is an amazing experience, but so are many other things in life. For somebody who is creative, a literary work or artistic expression can give equal or more joy and fulfillment. To a modern working woman without any help from relatives, motherhood is a high stress situation. Since I am a healer I get to hear from many youngsters that they are not interested in having a child, but parents and relatives are forcing them so much. One lady went ahead and had a baby and a week after the child was born (on experiencing exhaustion of looking after the new born and sleepless nights), she shouted at the mother, “If you pressurize me to have another child, I will kill you and the child.” To talk like that to one’s mother, you can imagine the frustration she must have had.

Goody goody three years

Taking care of a baby up to three years of age is a very pleasant experience, if one is not sensitive about the physical work involved. Once the child starts developing its own mind, it becomes a daily tug of war. Mother of a five year old told me in utter despair, “When he comes home from school, he will take my mobile phone and keep playing with it till the battery charge is exhausted. He won’t go out and play with friends.” When I asked why she couldn’t hide the phone, she told that she has tried and wherever she hid, he would dig it out! And once the child becomes a teenager, parents get diabetes and high blood pressure from the day to day tension. Of course these types of challenges were there in the yester years too, but there is no comparison as the present day children have access to the internet and they know millions of ways to ‘enjoy’ life.

Humans are the cancer on the earth

By overpopulation and by destroying the earth in every possible way, humans are proving to be the cancer on the earth. Look at all other living beings. They live in tune with the Nature and give back to the nature more than they take from it. But we as a race believe in over consumption and destruction.

At the soul level, we are aware of the fact that we are all One and it is time to curtail this overpopulation. I strongly recommend reading Michael Newton’s ‘Journey of souls’  to understand that in the life between life stage we make a blue print of the future incarnation we are going to take. Many souls decide to not have children and that is the reason they don’t conceive naturally. Modern science has advanced so much that there are many successful methods to over ride nature. But sadly, sometimes nature retaliates.

Let us look at IVF

IVF is commonly recommended for the following fertility problems: in case of blocked or damaged fallopian tubes or any other problem where IVF has been identified as the only treatment likely to help one get pregnant, if the partner has a minor problem with his sperm, as a primary treatment for infertility in women over age 40.

In the stimulation phase, IVF treatment starts from day 1 of the period. In a natural monthly cycle, the ovaries normally produce 1 egg. Medication is administered for 8-14 days to encourage the follicles in the ovaries (where the eggs live) to produce more eggs. The specialist prescribes medication specific to the client’s body and treatment plan. It’s usually in the form of injections, which can vary from 1-2 for the cycle, or 1-2 per day. It can be daunting, but the fertility nurse will be there to show exactly how and where to give the injections. The partner can get involved too and watch and learn together to get it right. It quickly becomes a habit and one becomes an expert in no time.

Later, the eggs are collected from the ovaries under general anesthesia. The fertilization takes place in a dish, embryo is transferred into a special incubator where the conditions for growth and development are perfect. In about 5 to 6 days the embryo is transferred into the uterus. In some weak, or incompetent, cervix cases, a cervical stitch will be scheduled during early pregnancy to try and stop the cervix opening and potentially initiating a miscarriage.

So basically, when the mother decides ‘by hook or crook I am going to get a baby’, this thought with its emotion is transferred to the baby, or a soul with similar thought pattern will be attracted to the womb. 

And when a child is born by surrogacy, it is going to inherit the moral fabric of the surrogate mother, who in many cases will be doing it for the money.

The outcome can be disastrous

When the pregnancy has been achieved by torturing the mother’s body, the message the child gets is ‘I am precious, you are dispensable.’ When that child becomes an adult and starts behaving in the same line, all hell is let loose, as can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ywewMLSYKQ

From where is he/she getting this moral character? It is the parents who mould the child’s character. When proper basic foundation is not provided, because they are not treated as another ordinary family member, but as somebody so precious (remember all the struggles undergone to get a progeny?), how can they act normal and be compassionate?

Embrace and enjoy life

Remember that you have planned your life at the soul stage. Live in the moment and enjoy to the fullest. If you are blessed with children in the normal biologic way, go ahead and enjoy parenthood. Believe that we are souls out here to get a human experience. Either we have been parents in our previous lives or will be in future lives. If at the soul level we have decided to not have children in this life, it is to gain experience and expertise in some other field. Find it out and get head on into it and achieve maximum experience. Don’t compare your life with others’ lives and make it hell.
