HNS Class Golden Bridge Hollywood – 2012-01-11 – Basic Sat Nam Rasayan

Tune-in. Ong Namo….

Ganesha Meditation: Just contemplate. Just observe everything that’s happening in your perceptive field. Allow the flow of your consciousness, sensations, and perceptions to happen.
Time: 3 minutes

So it feels as though you’re in a different place now. Everything looks different.

We need to be aware of our awareness. We wish to stabilize the position of our awareness in the aspect of awareness known as the Projective Meditative Mind. In that position of awareness our consciousness becomes transcendent, and we can project an intention to heal. We manifest the intention in relation with that which we wish to heal. We practice becoming aware. We do Meditation so that we can begin to be aware of where our awareness is, of the areas of flow or lack of flow of consciousness.

We heal in relation. We have a perception of only ourself. We can be aware of how we’re affected by that with which we choose to relate.

We know anything because we can feel it. We are affected by everything. We tune our awareness so that then the most subtle sensations can be detected in us.

We look to see how the perception can change.

The Principle of Sat Nam Rasayan®: When there’s a change in consciousness, there’s a change in the event.

You learn this healing by your experiencing something. In that experience you’ll begin to see what you can do. It becomes apparent to you that you can heal.

Start to renounce what you preconceive about anything. Our perceptions go to beyond anything superficial. If we recall a memory or a body of knowledge, those preconceptions can be obstacles.

Just perceive directly what’s going on. As your perceptions more closely reflect what’s happening with your event, you lose all differentiation between “me” and “other.” You can have direct perception of what’s happening in the relation. There’s no third-party, objective referee for reality.

The only obstacle is your preconceptions and your emotional reactions to something. We don’t need to believe anything. There is nothing we need to believe. The only formulas are in the practice of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation. It is not necessary for us to believe in order to heal in this way.

In our awareness everything will be shown to us as it is.

When we hold a belief, we think there’s a predictability with that. Belief is what happens to you when you don’t have enough information.

    Exercises

Round One: Open the space. Come into relation with your partner’s diaphragm. Set the intention to relax your partner’s diaphragm. Become aware of the Silence and Emptiness that exists among and within all the the activity. Allow all the resistances to dissolve into the Silence and Emptiness. Come to conclusion.

We let the Silence do the heavy lifting.

Round Two: (Repeat of the process in Round One….) Come into relation with your partner’s feet….

Round Three: Open the space. Migrate your awareness to your First Chakra. Pull and hold a slight Mulbandh. Come into relation with your partner’s feet. Now become aware of the flow of your thoughts. Becomes aware of the discontinuities in the flow of your thoughts. Become aware of the Silence and Emptiness that exists in the discontinuities. Allow all the resistances to dissolve into the Silence and Emptiness in the discontinuities. Come to conclusion.

You were a little out there on that one. Just let the reference be whatever is happening right now.

Round Four: Open the space. Come into relation with your partner’s armpits. Be aware of the effect of that relation on your thoughts, on your mind, on your entire perceptive field. Be aware of the Silence and Emptiness that exists within and among all the activity. Allow all the resistances to dissolve into the Silence and Emptiness. Come to conclusion.

You begin to have some experience of how your partner’s armpits relate with your partner’s endocrine glands, nervous system, mind, and emotions. They are how they are. Everything is part of this ElectroMagnetic Field, which is the interdependency of everything. We can include all parts of our perception, and go beyond the physical. It’s important that we’re not preconceiving something. The armpit is one of the most important confluences. Healing from inside the armpit is quite a powerful gesture. Don’t interpret or explain.

We’re more effective not being in our habitual forms that we assume apply to everything and with which we’re comfortable. We give up our forms that we impose on our perception. We’re giving up our attachment to all the things with which we’re familiar to have new perceptions. Then what we perceive is a more comprehensive and complete system of that with which we’re relating.

You are merging so that then there is no separation and no differentiation between you and your Tiny Pet. When the merging is really complete, it can be scary; however, we can deal with that. Contain the intensity through practicing Kundalini Yoga so that your nervous system doesn’t freak out, and you can handle this awareness.

You have your own tendencies, perhaps a chronic backache. In the relation you will be affected in how your back feels. It’s okay if that happens. If that perception of your backache begins to alter so that you forget that you have a backache, then something has happened in the relation; and your partner has forgotten something.

Your perception is real. As your perception amplifies, there’s always more. Our goal is to have a direct perception of an absolute field without our anxiety. Our bodies and our personalities make up our mandala that reflects that with which we’re relating.

If you jump into a swimming pool, something will happen. You don’t have to try to feel wet in water; it just happens. Being in a merged state of consciousness, something will happen; and you will become aware of something.

I’ll teach a Sat Nam Rasayan® Workshop that will be a Sequel Workshop at my home on Saturday, February 4th.

Let’s close.

HNS Class Golden Bridge Hollywood – 2012-10-10 – Intuitive Intellect

Tune-in. Ong Namo….

“Humee Hum Brahm Hum” Meditation For The Intuitive Intellect — 11 minutes

You just know when the Meditation is done. We’ve done that Meditation for 31 minutes before. There’s time, and there are also results.

Okay. Take your partner.

Healing Exercises
Round One: Open the space. Be aware of how your entire Field of Perception is affecting the sensations of the Mind. Begin to move your awareness to your Navel Point. Then choose to relate with your partner. Individualize your partner’s Occiput, the ridge of the skull in the back. Be aware of the stimulation and activity of the mental sensations. Continue to allow all your sensations while you perceive the mental sensations. Come to conclusion. Switch.

Round Two : Open the space. Research how all of your sensations, everything in your Field of Perception, is affecting the sensations in the Mind. Observe how every little thing stimulates the Mind. Begin to make your Mind the main organ of your perception. Then choose to relate with your partner and your partner’s Occiput, the point on the back of the skull, along the ridge. Be aware of how your relation with your partner’s Occiput is affecting your entire Perceptive Field, and how everything in your Perceptive Field is affecting and stimulating the Mind. Come to conclusion. Switch.

Round Three: Open the space. Let your awareness rest centered in your Mind. Be aware of how everything in your Perceptive Field is affecting and stimulating the Mind. Now relate with your partner’s Occiput, and see how that is affecting your Perceptive Field and stimulating the Mind. Then choose to re-center your awareness from your Mind to the Liver of your partner. Make your partner’s Liver the primary organ of your perception. From inside your partner’s Liver, heal your partner. Include the Element Ether. Just contemplate the experience. Then heal the space of your partner’s Liver from the inside. Come to conclusion.

That was intense.

Round Four: Begin to center your awareness in your Mind, observing how your entire Perceptive Field is affecting and stimulating your Mind and the events of perception in your Mind. Contain the experience. Merge with the experience. Then choose to transfer your awareness and move it to your partner’s Liver. Begin to make that your main organ of perception. Feel how all of your sensations and all of your perceptions in your Field of Perception are affecting your perception from inside your partner’s Liver. Then choose to relate with your partner. Then heal your partner’s Liver from the inside. Contain the experience. Merge with the experience. Come to conclusion, and switch.

Round Five: Open the space. Then just move your awareness directly to your partner’s Liver. Let that become the primary organ of your perception, observing how all of your sensations of your Perceptive Field are affecting your perception from inside the Liver. Then begin to heal your partner’s Liver from the inside. Come to conclusion.

So this was an exercise in having an experience from a different perspective. We can place our awareness anywhere inside of us, and then we’ll have a slightly different experience of how we relate with something. We don’t have to limit it to that. We could place our awareness anywhere, having a remote perception. If you can merge with that experience, then you can have that experience from the inside. You are experiencing that. You are experiencing being your partner’s Liver. Now there’s a lot of pressure on the perception when you do that. You have some resistance to that.

When you heal something, you’re bringing that experience more toward neutral.

The word “heal” doesn’t mean anything. Another word to use would be, “Contemplate it.” “Heal” is a loaded term that conjures up some other things, and stimulates your mind in a certain way. Contemplate it. Doing something like that can give you some perception that you just wouldn’t have otherwise, and it actually makes the healing more efficient and more complete.

You don’t have to see it as something particular that you do to do something in particular.

Now when I was contemplating where we were going to go with this, Liver jumped up and said, “Let’s do the Liver.” Before that I was contemplating that perhaps we would place our awareness in the Sacrum. The Liver seemed to offer a little bit richer experience at that time.

All of that perception is available to you, and new perception that you don’t even know that you have. You could say that everything is Mind. You don’t have to say that. This was just an extension of what we’ve been doing not to be so dependent on that specific set of perceptions hat come from just our Sensitive Field. This extends our experience, and produces new perception, which is an amalgam of everything. It’s more than an amalgam of what is there. It produces new perceptions.

Okay. Are there any questions or other comments?

Okay then. Let’s close.

Sat Nam. Sat Nam. Sat Nam. (silent prayer….)

HNS Class Golden Bridge Hollywood – 2012-10-03 – Intuitive Intellect

Tune-in. Ong Namo….

Let’s do the Meditation For The Intuitive Intellect:
The elbows are held at the ribs. The palms of the hands face toward the face, out in front of the shoulders.
Chant the Mantra: “Humee Hum Brahm Hum.”
On both hands, on “Humee” the thumb and the Mercury finger touch; on “Hum” the thumb and the Saturn finger touch; on “Brahm” the thumb and the Jupiter finger touch; and on the final “Hum” the thumb and the Mercury finger touch. We’re skipping the Sun finger.
Close the eyes 9/10, and focus at the tip of the nose.
As you’re sitting in Easy Pose and doing this Meditation, you’re moving the knees up and down. Move your knees up and down while you’re chanting and moving your fingers.
Time: 11 minutes
To finish: Inhale deeply, hold the breath, exhale, and relax.

Okay. Let’s get started. Find partners.

Healing Exercises
Round One: Take your partner. Open the space. Now with the hand that is not touching your partner, hold the thumb and the Mercury finger together. Become aware of the space of the Field between your hands. Become aware also of the relative Force of Gravity in both the hands. Choose to relate with your partner, and in particular with your partner’s Hara, which is about 2 inches below the Navel. Relate with your partner’s Hara through the space of the Field between your hands. Set the intention that you allow your partner’s Hara to maximize the Flow of Prana. Relate with the space of the Field between the hands, and bring the hands into balance, and the sensation of the Force of Gravity in the two hands. Come to conclusion, and switch with your partner.

Round Two: Take your partner. Open the space. On one of your hands hold the thumb and the Mercury finger, the little finger, together. Become aware of the Field that develops between your hands. Become aware of the Field between your hands, and place your awareness there. Feel the relative Force of Gravity in your two hands. Set the intention that you will relate with your partner’s Hara, which is about 2 inches below the Navel and is the source of your partner’s Prana. Relate with that, sitting in the Field between your hands. Feel everything that is happening in the relation with your partner’s Hara. Keep your awareness centered in the space in the Field between your hands. Relate with the intention to maximize the Flow of Prana in your partner’s Hara. Become aware of the sensation of the relative Force of Gravity in your hands and between your hands. With your intention use the Field of your hands to maximize the Prana. Come to conclusion. Switch with your partner.

Round Three: Take your partner. Open the space. Begin to move your awareness to your armpits. Allow your armpits to become your primary perceptive organ. Recognize your partner in the space. Research your space in relation with your partner. Find some aspect of your space relating with your partner and heal that. Shift the sensations of your Sensitive Field toward the sensations of your Mind, and consider how they’re reflected there, connecting everything to your armpits. Release the resistances in the Mind. Come to conclusion and switch.

Round Four: Open the space. Center your awareness in your armpits. Feel what is stimulated in your entire Field by doing that, including the mental sensations, emotional sensations, and physical sensations. Allow your armpits to be your primary organ of perception. Choose to relate with your partner. Using the Field of the space of your armpits, find the most dominant resistance. Relate with that in that space. Contemplate it. Give your attention to your Perceptive Field. Find the point of the maximum resistance in the space in the relation with your partner. Contemplate it. Come to conclusion.

So that was an exercise in giving attention to the mental aspects of our Perceptive Field. It may have felt unstable because we were more aware of all the activity going on. We have a tendency that we like to think that we can control the mind. It doesn’t really work that way. We can allow the flow of our experience of our mental processes, observe them, and resolve all our reactions to it. That will then increase the intensity. Doing this has more intensity than just being in the Sensitive Field and feeling your body. Feeling the mind has a lot of leverage, and the tendencies are very strong. Resolving those tendencies produces a big intensity because the tendencies are so strong to control the mind. You start feeling it again in the body. Even though you’ve shifted attention somewhat to the mental processes, the body then starts to become very visible and prominent again. It’s hard to contain. It feels as though you’re riding a bull when you’re really in your mind and contemplating there, which is completely okay. We try not to reject our experience, and to include everything in the experience.

The Meditation that we did today was for the Intuitive Intellect. Hopefully that gave a little more vision to the perceptions. It helps us to recognize more what the sensations are, not necessarily what they mean, and to relate with them more clearly. It’s a mysterious thing to talk about. We just have to go there. We would like to move from perceiving with just the Sensitive Field, and perceiving through the Field that includes everything in the mind and also the emotions. When all of them are working, the experience becomes very clear and very intense. It will suggest things to our intellect that we didn’t recognize before. It will suggest to us what we know. That’s how we can know. We’ll recognize something in the way that it’s suggested to us through our intellect. We’ll probably work some more with this in future weeks. It’s always being taught.

At Guru Dev Singh’s Sat Nam Rasayan® Retreat at Mount Shasta, the approach was more with using the Visual Field; and we also did that in my Workshop a few weeks ago. We’ll revisit that one, too.

We can shift our perceptions from the Sensitive Field to the Visual Field. That’s a simple process to do once you stimulate your Third Eye and start to use that as your basis for your Second Sight and stimulate the visual processes, which then become something that you can examine as though you’re seeing it. We’ll also include the Visual Field.

Don’t be frustrated. Do the Innocent Thumbs Meditation for 11 Minutes, looking at the tip of the nose, breathing normally, and contemplating the mind. You’ll have an experience of riding the mind like a bull. It gives us an experience of the subconscious and how we’re being affected by the subconscious, and recognizing the subconscious in some way that we don’t have to engage it in a way that we believe it, interact too much with it, and or let it control us. It’s really a good Meditation to become independent of that, to give some space to it, and to start to lose that tendency that we have to reject certain parts of our experience just because it’s uncomfortable, or we don’t agree with it, or it seems wrong. “I’m not supposed to be doing this. Why is my mind doing this to me?” We can just include all of that happening, and get over it. This Meditation is very good for that. That’s why we do that Meditation a lot in this class. It’s very effective. When you do that, you can start to do almost anything. We start to lose our prejudices about the mental structures that we’re perceiving. We have a lot of prejudice.

Thoughts just happen. Even if you think that you’re controlling your mind, thoughts are still just happening, more than we can count or keep track of; so we might as well just enjoy the flow and let it happen.

Okay. We’ll just finish.

Sat Nam. Sat Nam. Sat Nam. (silent prayer….)

Was what we were doing today sufficiently uncomfortable? There was a lot of discomfort in that. I thought that was good.

(Sanjiwan Singh served handmade chocolate balls that Kulmeet had taught him how to make at the Mount Shasta Retreat. Yum!…)

HNS Class Golden Bridge Hollywood – 2012-09-19 – The Visual Field

Tune-in. Ong Namo….

Meditation To Give Impact To What You Say And Impact To Your Communication —
The fingers of both hands are interlaced, out in front of the chest. Both thumbs are held together, and pulled back from the hands, toward the chest. The palms touch together at the base of the hands.
The eyes are closed.
Chant the following one time per breath. Then inhale and chant again one time. Continue….
“Ra Ra Ra Ra Ma Ma Ma Ma Sa Sa Sa Sa Hari Har Hari Har.”
Time: 11 minutes
To finish: Inhale, hold the breath, exhale, relax.

Find a partner.

Healing Exercises
Round One: Work in the Throat. Become aware of the perceptions in your Visual Field. Come into relation with your partner. Come into relation with your partner’s Throat. Now go beyond the Relative Field to the Absolute Field. Contain the experience in the Sensitive Field, and allow that to intensify the Visual Field. Come to conclusion.

Round Two: Work in the Throat. Become aware of the perceptions in your Visual Field. Come into relation with your partner. Come into relation with your partner’s Throat, Navel, and Feet. Use the perceptions in the Visual Field to balance the 3 points of your partner’s Throat, Navel, and Feet. Contain the experience in the Sensitive Field, and allow that to intensify the Visual Field. Come to conclusion.

Just allow the sensations of your vision and everything that produces. That brings up new perceptions, both physical and non-physical.

Let’s finish now.

Sat Nam. Sat Nam. Sat Nam. (silent prayer….)

We were working a lot with the Visual Field at Guru Dev Singh’s Sat Nam Rasyan Retreat at Mount Shasta, which is a way that Guru Dev Singh suggested that we could rely not so much habitually on the Sensitive Field to perceive. The Visual Field is more subtle, and is not bound to anything. We have then the capacity of having more dimensions to our sensations, and experiencing not just gross sensations such as what you’re feeling in your knee. Working with the Visual Field allows a more subtle perception to be produced that is more inclusive. We’re going beyond our limited fields. If we feel something that’s really weird, we don’t question it.

HNS Class Golden Bridge Hollywood – 2012-09-12 – Choosing the Field

Tune-in. Ong Namo….

Innocent Thumbs Meditation: Contemplate your mind. Observe your mind without reacting. Watch the flow of your experience. Allow what feels comfortable and uncomfortable equally, and just sit with it. — 11 minutes.

Are any of you brand new to Sat Nam Rasayan®?

Student: I am. This is my first class.

We are here to have an experience. There’s nothing to teach, other than promoting the means to have a new experience. We just let what comes through our Perceptive Field happen. We’ll do healing exercises with partners, and see what happens.

Find partners.

Healing Exercises
Round One: Open the space. Become aware of the sensations in the skin of your face. Be in relation with all the sensations in your Perceptive Field. Now come into relation with your partner. Come into relation with the bones in your partner’s face, and the nervous system in your partner’s face. Be aware of all the resistances. Be aware of all the emotions. Be aware of the Silence in your space. Allow the resistances and the emotions behind the resistances to resolve into the Silence. Now include your partner’s Heart in the relation. Now also include your partner’s Navel in the relation. Now also include your partner’s Hara in the relation. Now also include your partner’s Feet in the relation. Set the intention to resolve all the resistances. Come to conclusion.

We set up some Geometry, which is something that you can do intuitively. You know what will have a bigger Impact as you relate.

Round Two: Repeat of Round One….

We find it within ourselves. We don’t have to question where it came from. Everything has to do with the relation.

When we are not reacting, something new is allowed to happen, which breaks a condition that holds something in consciousness.

The obstacles are the habits, conditions, and tendencies.

Round Three: Open the space. Come into relation with your partner. Come into relation with your partner’s hips. Become aware of the sensation of flow between the hips. Set the intention that the flow goes from the bottom of the right hip into the bottom of the left hip. Set the intention to increase that flow. Allow the resistances to resolve into the Silence. Come to conclusion.

Round Four: Repeat of Round Three….

You are not automatically “there.” We use the Sensitive Space to get “there” as the Sensitive Space is accessible to us to be able to relate to that. It’s okay that we use our bodies as a Mandala. Our reality is our Perceptive Field. We don’t need to relate with our prior knowledge. We develop the discipline so that where we start is with our sensitive experience, which then includes more perception that can’t be identified as a physical sensation. We still feel those physical sensations, and include a richer dimension of relating. We don’t have any limitations. We’re in the space where we know what’s going on. We practice a process of tuning our awareness so that we are “there.” We’re gathering the discipline to be stable in that position of our awareness.

The sensations could be in the body or not. Our awareness goes way beyond the body. We don’t want to be confined or limited. We allow new things to happen in our experience.

We begin to lose the way that we form our perception in terms of something familiar to ourselves.

We have expectations. We expect that this wood floor will be hard as that’s the dimension in which we’re relating with the floor.

I’ll hold a Sat Nam Rasayan® Workshop on Saturday at my home, from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Please visit my website for the directions to my home: harinam.com.

We’ll close class now.

Sat Nam. Sat Nam. Sat Nam. (silent prayer….)

HNS Class Golden Bridge Hollywood – 2012-08-15 – Compulsion

Tune-in. Ong Namo….

Liars desperately want to be liked. They have an empty void of intimacy with the world. Lying comes from compulsions that lead to many consequences. We can fix some aspect of the compulsion. We can adjust how they relate with the world. Don’t just fix compulsions as people could wake up not knowing who they are.

It’s not useful to ask, “How could she lie like that?” It’s not useful to hold the opinion that someone would not go beyond an outrageous boundary. People believe that they won’t be lied to by certain people, such as people who say that they are Christians against abortion.

Say, “You liar!” Call them on their lying. The lying is a fact.

In Sat Nam Rasayan®, we work with tendencies that come from our consciousness. Consciousness produces the tendencies that make us how we are. The tendencies are held in consciousness.

We relate as closely as we can with the consciousness that holds the tendencies, which extend to illness, people’s getting sick, and people’s becoming mass murderers. What they do is produced by patterns that they repeat.

Liars tend to hold everybody in utter contempt. They’re actually sociopaths. The way that they relate is broken. They can’t relate. They’re relating only with a mental, learned process. What comes from inside them is only compulsions. There’s big damage in the way that they relate with everything.

We can go to a root of some behavior, which can lead us to some compulsion, which is a rote behavior, something that can’t be stopped. We can separate and cut off the compulsion from how the person relates. This method is useful for someone who compulsively eats too much food all the time.

People see themselves through the filter of the compulsions. The inner projection gets lost.

We look to our own perception. We know through our own perception. Our Perceptive Field contains the inputs of our sensory being. We can’t feel anything outside of ourselves. We are the source of all our perceptions. We can know how we’re affected by something.

You’ll experience a strong feeling of the consciousness if you walk into a meeting of white supremacists. You could feel that. Everything is producing in you some sensations. You could react and run outside, or sit there and start to argue with them.

We have to give up the hope of changing anything. We allow the experience of relating, not reacting. We go to Silence. In Shuniya, there are no echoes inside of us. In the absence of echoes, you experience the events in your awareness. Nothing more has to be made of that.

We choose how we relate as healers. We allow our consciousness to merge. What we feel has everything to do with the healing relation. When we allow the relationship to exist in an absolute way, echoless and reactionless, the Silence will have an Impact. When we allow the relation, sit in Stillness, and don’t react, the Silence will have an Impact.

When you just walk into a place, you will have an Impact.

There’s no boundary, end, or limit to what you can experience. When you are healing with an open space, it’s easy to fall into the clutches of the assumption that what you’re experiencing is yourself. There is a tendency to identify with the experience, and to think that you’re producing the experience: “I feel bad; so it must be me.” You’re having an experience of being affected. You are not your experience. You can have the experience; and in the experience, there can be an Impact.

Student: I was just recently diagnosed as being bipolar.

It’s good to recognize certain things at the outset. When we want to heal ourselves, we practice Kundalini Yoga. You’ll come out on the other end pretty darn good.

We’re using the Technology of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation in Sat Nam Rasayan®. We don’t need to differentiate ourselves from everybody else. You are affected by what’s happening.

You may think when you’re in the presence of skinheads that you’re hateful. You’re experiencing the sensation of hatred as that’s what they promote. You just need to contain the experience without reacting. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that the experience is coming from you.

When you read something hateful on the internet and experience the sensation of hatred, that intention was in that composition. The hatred is not you.

Ganesha Meditation:
Bring all of your tendencies to move into the sensation of Stillness. Find the place where it’s Still in your experience of doing this. Watch the flow of your consciousness.
Time: 3 minutes.

Things look different now. You moved out of one place, and now you’re in another place.

Healing Exercises
Round One: Open the space. Take your partner. Allow the flow of your experience. Don’t judge your experience. Become aware of the major tendency in your space. Follow the path of resistance, looking for and finding the points of irritation and stimulation that lead to the next major resistance. Continue to follow the path of resistance, looking for and finding the points of irritation and stimulation that lead to the next major resistance. Now you have come to a different place in your perception. Now set the intention to separate and put distance between this place and the original tendency you were in relation with at the beginning of this session. Allow the resistances to resolve into the Silence. Come to conclusion.

With whatever we’re in relation, we can look to find more points of irritation that are stimulating more resistances. Then you end up coming to a different place in your perception, which is related to the original tendency you were in relation with first. Then we separate those two, and put distance between them. With this method you can erase certain tendencies of habitual patterns of consciousness. We find where the tendency that we’re addressing takes us in our experience. Then we separate that place where we end up from the original compulsion we were in relation with at the beginning of the session.

Round Two: Open the space. Take your partner. Become aware of all of your perceptions and sensations in your Perceptive Field. Now become aware of the Silence that exists between and within all the perceptions in your Perceptive Field. Expand the sensation of the Silence into your whole space. Allow all the resistances to resolve into the Silence. Come to conclusion.

Round Three: Repeat of Round Two….

In a healing session, even if a lot of our perception of the experience remains the same and unchanged, there’s always some part of our perception that’s a little bit modified.

A common tendency of smart people is to follow a thought and analyze it. That tendency can be stimulated by the relation with your partner.

We need only to have the experience. Your partner will feel better. The healing process stimulates so much, and that is good. The healer’s intention is to heal. The worst that can happen is nothing. Everybody has some experience of what’s happening. Just enjoy the ride.

We’ll finish now.

Sat Nam. Sat Nam. Sat Nam. (silent prayer….)

HNS Class Golden Bridge Hollywood – 2012-08-05 – Preconceptions

Tune-in. Ong Namo….

Meditation To Promote Within Us The State Of Shuniya: (8-step breath in and out; hands moving alternately up and down….)
Time: 11 minutes

Our minds settled to where our conditions and our tendencies are diminished. Everything that was causing an interruption of the flow of our experience was diminished.

When we practice Sat Nam Rasayan®, we remain in our experience, which includes our perceptions. We relate from a state of Emptiness, without propositions, interpretations, or explanations. We allow our mind to empty so that our awareness becomes stable in Shuniya, where we’re free to relate with the experience as it is, rather than being driven to relate by the way our forms in our mind dictate. We can choose to relate in the deepest way, which is a healing experience. We all have consciousness. We can be aware of the consciousness through the experience of our perception. We perceive or feel only ourself. Our entire being of our individuality contributes to our experience. We can know something about the other, and begin to heal the other. We are affected by everything in some way. When we choose to relate in a healing way, the consciousness of the healer and the Tiny Pet merges. The differentiation between the two starts to disappear. We just let our experience flow and happen, and then we’ll know how to heal.

When we Meditate, there is more space between all the events of our perception. We can expand that experience of the space between the events of our perception. We put our attention to the Empty space between everything.

We practice Kundalini Yoga and Meditation to be aware of the position of our awareness, and to be aware of how everything affects us. When we stabilize that aspect of our awareness that is known as the Projective Meditative Mind, our intention to heal something becomes very powerful. We allow healing to happen by holding an intention. When we renounce all our preconceptions, healing will happen.

I’m giving you some kind of a direction away from your preconceptions. Let everything happen, and do not react.

Now we’ll do exercises with a partner.

Healing Exercises:
Round One: Open the space. Become aware of the sensations in your face. Allow your Perceptive Field to affect the sensations in your face. Come into relation with your partner. Become aware of your Visual Field. Allow the perceptions in your Visual Field to affect the sensations in your face. Now set the intention for emotional equanimity in your partner. Allow the resistances to resolve into the Silence. Come to conclusion.

Round Two: Repeat of Round One….

We don’t have to question the experience. We take the experience as it is.

Round Three: Repeat of Rounds One and Two….

Does anybody have any questions?

Then let’s close class now.

Sat Nam. Sat Nam. Sat Nam. (silent prayer….)

The idea here was to have the experience. It doesn’t matter what you think about the experience.

HNS Class Golden Bridge Hollywood – 2012-07-25 – Distractions and Resistance

Tune-in. Ong Namo….

So when we practice Sat Nam Rasayan® healing, we place our awareness in a position wherein we can interact with our intention to heal and have an Impact. We need to be stable in the Projective Meditative Mind. Kundalini Yoga and Meditation are the tools that we use to modify and to stabilize our awareness. Meditation helps us to become stable and to calm the mind, and allows the mind to open to new possibilities.

Innocent Thumbs Meditation:
Just be aware of what’s happening in your experience. Be very still, and do not reject any part of your experience. This opens up the awareness.
Time — 11 minutes

That Meditation shows us the busy-ness of our mind and the subconscious chatter. We can be amidst that and not react.

As we choose to relate with something in a healing way, we can feel only ourself. We can feel how we’re affected by some other in a healing relation.

Everybody exists in the glory of his or her own being. We have to look to our own Field of Perception to know something. When we allow that perception to change, something will change in the relation. That is how healing happens.

Not reacting allows for the possibility of something new to happen.

Our consciousness merges with the consciousness of the other when we allow ourselves to be affected by the relation, and then we lose our location that we like to hold as distinct from something else.

Just have the experience of doing this. We allow ourselves to have an experience. As a group we’re able to interlock our psyches so that everyone in the group will have the experience. The experience is inside you.

We need to reduce the distractions of Maya that make us feel the need to measure, delineate, describe, interpret, compare to a reference or a standard, separate, and judge.

Our experience is our reality. We can trust our perception, which includes all the thoughts and all our internal processes. Our Perceptive Field makes up the whole of our reality. We allow the entire experience to tell us something. Then our Intuitive Intellect starts to come ahead of our subconscious suggestions.

Reactions happen in the same way over and over again in the cycle that feeds itself and produces illnesses and neuroses.

Today we’ll allow something new to happen so that something is allowed to heal. We’re here to reduce the distractions to our experience, and just to allow our experience.

Healing Exercises:
Round One: Open the space. Take your partner. Become aware of all the perceptions in your Perceptive Field. Become aware of the distinct thoughts in the flow of your consciousness. Become aware of the discontinuity between each thought. Become aware of the space in the discontinuity between each thought. Become aware of the overall tendency of the space. Set the intention to expand that tendency into the whole space. Continue to allow the flow of your consciousness. Come to conclusion.

Round Two: Repeat of Round One….

Round Three: Repeat of Rounds One and Two….

Round Four: Repeat of Rounds One, Two, and Three….

We’ll leave it at that. If any of this is mystifying, that’s perfect. Your perception is a little bit altered now.

We’ll conclude now. We’ll do 3 Long Sat Nam’s.

Sat Nam. Sat Nam. Sat Nam. (silent prayer….)

HNS Class Golden Bridge Hollywood – 2012-07-18 – Healing by Altering Perception

Tune-in. Ong Namo….

Meditation To Stimulate The Third Eye:
Close the eyes.
The elbows are bent. The forearms are parallel with the floor. Both palms face down to the ground.
The hands are out in front of the chest. The right palm sits on top of the left hand.
Recite out loud, 3 times per breath (then inhale, recite 3 times per breath, continue):
“Aad Sach Jugaad Sach Haibhee Sach Nanak Hosee Bhee Sach”
Time: 11 minutes
To conclude: Inhale deeply, hold the breath, squeeze the spine, squeeze every muscle, exhale — 3x
Relax.

Our perception has changed in some way. We no longer see things in the same way that we used to.

Our perception is made up of all kinds of things that are in place in a structure that doesn’t change much.

When we heal, perception changes. When someone’s perception changes, healing happens. We can help someone’s perception to change.

Our entire Perceptive Field is our reality. We are the source of all our perceptions. Sight and hearing are processed internally in our brains and perceptive faculties. We can feel only ourself.

We can know how we are affected by something in a healing relation, which is the basis of how we know anything.

We allow something new to happen. If some change happens in our perception of the relation, then some change happens in our event, and healing happens.

We heal through our awareness. Our intention facilitates something to change. Our intention becomes potent and manifest. We meditate, and we allow our awareness to migrate to that aspect of awareness where that can happen.

You are stabilizing that aspect of awareness by being here in this class.

We have resistance in some ways. We preconceive distance and position, which appear to be static and unchanging. Our preconceptions are the resistances that we hold to allowing something new to happen.

We allow our experience of the relation to be dynamic and changing, and then something is allowed to change when in our consciousness we have merged with what we’re relating and we’re not separated from everything.

Going into a big crowd of people will affect you in a strong way. The group at a rock concert has a group psyche that everyone can feel.

By being in this class, all practicing the same thing, the group psyche carries us to be in the experience.

We don’t rely on any reference external to the experience.

There is no separation; so if we’re allowing something to change, then the other is also allowing something to change.

It’s okay if this is mysterious. Forget what you think you understand. Be in your experience.

We’re going to practice today with perception.

Healing Exercises:
Round One: Open the space. Recall the space from the Meditation. Come into relation with your partner. Become aware of the resistances. Set the intention that as a resistance resolves, your Perceptive Field expands; and you allow your Perceptive Field to include more perceptions. Continue with this process. Come to conclusion.

Round Two: Repeat of Round One….

Round Three: Repeat of Rounds One and Two….

Round Four: Tiny Pets, think of someone or something that irritates you, that bugs you, and that you don’t like. (Repeat of the process in Rounds One, Two, and Three….)

As you increase the perceptions in your expanded Perceptive Field, your partner is gaining more perception and going beyond the perception that holds that irritation. A more inclusive view can resolve things.

The Tiny Pet begins by thinking, I don’t like that because…. In this healing process the “because” can go away.

Round Five: Repeat of Round Four….

If you forgot what was bugging you, your perception now includes more.

You can heal by expanding or altering perception.

Student: I’m irritated that I’m exposed to perfume on a regular basis.

If you have a reaction to the perfume, then practicing the Meditation that we did at the beginning of class will help you in a lot of ways, and will give you more of a perception with less of a viewpoint.

This process helps you to be more tolerant so that you don’t react so much. As your awareness includes more perception, something can change in you; and that can help.

It’s very common in the way we react to want to avoid something, or to collapse in the presence of something. This process helps us not to be so reactive.

Let’s close class now.

Sat Nam. Sat Nam. Sat Nam. (silent prayer….)

It has been the Tradition since I’ve known Yogi Bhajan that we share the cookies that the Birthday person brings to class….

I’m going to hold a Workshop on Healing and the Third Eye on Saturday at my home, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Afterwards we’re going to have a veggie barbecue. The directions to my home are on my website: harinam.com.

Guru Dev Singh said, “If you understand everything that I’m teaching, then you’ve got to go run the other way.”

We spent a whole Retreat with Guru Dev Singh practicing increasing and altering perception.

HNS Class Golden Bridge Hollywood – 2012-07-11 – Mantra

Tune-in. Ong Namo….

Meditation To Say, “Hello” To Your Intuition (tip of the tongue on the soft palate; sit perfectly motionless) — 11 minutes

So in Sat Nam Rasayan®, we heal using our consciousness with our intention. We’re aware when we relate with something that needs to be healed. The aspect of awareness known as the Projective Meditative Mind is where we can project an intention. We practice a process of allowing everything in our perception to be as it is and not reacting. We allow whatever will happen in the healing process to happen. Our not reacting will allow the relation to produce something new.

Healing Exercises:
Round One: Open the space. Come into relation with your partner. Say just loudly enough for your partner to hear the Mantra “Wah.” Keep repeating the Mantra “Wah” just loudly enough for your partner to hear. Be aware of the effect on the relation. Now stop saying the Mantra. Now touch your partner’s arm, slowly applying pressure until you reach the point of maximum pressure, and then slowly releasing the pressure, in a symmetrical fashion. Keep repeating that process of slowly applying and then slowly releasing the pressure. Be aware of the effect on the relation. Come to conclusion.

We were applying the simple Mantra “Wah,” which had an effect on the relation. We used “Wah” in a way that would produce a flow that smoothed out any uneven sharpness. When there is too much fire or heat, more flow balances that out.

The motion of the hands of slowly applying pressure and then slowly releasing the pressure in a symmetrical fashion produced flow.

The Element of Water can be included in the relation for a similar purpose.

The Mantra “Wah” and that particular Mudra, that motion of the hands, allowed the heat to distribute in more useful, balanced ways.

The Tiny Pet just has to show up and be there.

Opening the space is just a process that we go through to stabilize an aspect of awareness, to be in the Projective Meditative Mind. However that happens is fine. I help to guide you to find the place where you are stable in that aspect of awareness.

Round Two: Repeat of Round One….

That was relaxing.

Round Three: Open the space. Come into relation with your partner. Say just loudly enough for your partner to hear the Mantra “He.” Keep repeating the Mantra “He” just loudly enough for your partner to hear. Be aware of the effect on the relation. Now stop saying the Mantra. Now touch your partner’s arm. Start with a firm, tight grip on your partner’s arm, and then very slowly and incrementally release the pressure. Continue to repeat that process. Start with a firm, tight grip on your partner’s arm, and then very slowly and incrementally release the pressure. This is an asymmetrical process as you’re starting with a tight, firm grip, and then slowly releasing the pressure. Continue this process. Be aware of the effect on the relation. Come to conclusion.

Round Four: Repeat of Round Three….

The Mantra “He” has the influence of expansion like the Element of Air.

The Mudra, the hand motion, is to start with a firm, tight grip, and then slowly release the pressure.

Those two sessions together were an antidote to hot weather. We are having a long, hot summer everywhere in this country. People are a tinderbox of emotions, uptight, jerky, and acting on impulses.

Increasing the flow with the Element of Air allows people to tend to forget what they were uptight about. If something’s bugging somebody, help the person not to be so bugged.

Wah — Water
He — Air
Guru — Compression — Fire

The choppy, staccato, high-frequency sounds in the environment are fiery and produce reactions.

Just be aware that doing broad strokes such as including Mantra and Mudra in the relation has an Impact.

You can adjust the position that you’re holding in relation to a group of people. You can move to the side and turn a little to produce a more comfortable relation.

Approaching people directly face-to-face can produce a feeling of compression and confrontation, and they’ll react. If you come up to an animal directly face-on, the animal will run away. If you approach by circling in, then you are not adding too much intensity; and so then you can perhaps get very close to the animal.

There are real, tangible consequences of the Impact of the physical interaction.

Fire produces the sensation of a tendency.

Mantras will always have an Impact through sound.

Mudra is a Form that has an Impact through what you perceive in your Perceptive Field.

Most of this country is really hot now, and people are very tense. Help them.

Do something once, and something will happen in the relation.

If you say the right word in the right way, the person’s perception of you can completely change. That person can change his mind about you when you say the right word in the right way.

Let’s finish now.

Sat Nam. Sat Nam. Sat Nam. (silent prayer….)

In Guru Dev Singh’s Kundalini Yoga Workshop here at Golden Bridge on Tuesday night, July 10th, he taught Mudra with Mantra, while holding a position, which produced amazing results in the mind that seemed magical. Yogi Bhajan gave us 4,000 Meditations. It’s important to find the proper way to say the Mantra, and to hold the Mudra very precisely. Last night Guru Dev Singh taught us the Mantra, “Ek Ong Kar Sat Hari.”

HNS Class Golden Bridge Hollywood – 2012-03-14 – Healing with Sound

Tune-in. Ong Namo….

We’ve done a lot of practicing with healing through the Chakras and using the visual component, which adds a lever to our healing. Today we’ll use sounds to heal.

2 Meditations….

That helped. We’re a little less reactive to our perceptions now. Every point of stimulation brings up reactions. We meditate to get past all that reactivity.

When we open our eyes when we’re healing, we’re separating what we see from the function of sight. Our inner perception is what we’re using all the time when we’re doing Sat Nam Rasayan®.

Today we’ll start using sound. Today our practice will be a little more sophisticated.

In Sat Nam Rasayan®, we’re stabilizing our awareness in a way in which we can relate with something and project an intention. We like to become empty. We are empty in that we’re not reactive. We practice just being there in the perception.

This sounds easy, and yet it seems hard when you try to do it.

Just go with everything that’s happening in the experience. You don’t have to believe it.

Healing Exercises:
Round One: Open the space. Become aware of the Silence in the space. Place your awareness and your perception in your hearing. Allow your hearing to intermingle with the Silence in the space. Come to conclusion.

Round Two: Repeat of Round One….

The perception of hearing has a special relationship with Silence.

Next week we’ll have class here.

On this upcoming L.A. Marathon Sunday, March 18th, Guru Dev Singh will teach a Sat Nam Rasayan® Intensive near Objets d’Art & Spirit on Sunset Boulevard. Guru Dev Singh will teach a Kundalini Yoga Workshop here at Golden Bridge at 8:00 p.m. next Wednesday, March 21st.

We’ll close class now.

Sat Nam. Sat Nam. Sat Nam. (silent prayer….)

HNS Class Golden Bridge Hollywood – 2012-03-07 – The Visual Field

Meditation To Stimulate The Third Eye:
Meditation: M043-19890623 See Your Soul Within Your Third Eye
Har Har Gobinday Har Har Mukanday Har Har Udaaray Har Har Apaaray
Har Har Hariang Har Har Kariang Har Har Nirnaamay Har Har Akaamay — 11 minutes

That Meditation produced a certain space and overall feeling. The experience of that Meditation is what counts. Doing that Meditation produced a memory in our experience. We’ll recall the experience of the Meditation.

In Sat Nam Rasayan®, we practice doing things in the way that we’ve been taught. We experience exercising our intention to heal. We adjust our awareness in a way that allows our intention to become manifest. We become aware of our awareness. We modify our awareness in specific ways.

We don’t necessarily know how to do anything. We set an intention to relate with something for healing. We’re affected by the relation. The experience of that is what’s important.

We can feel only ourself. I know something because I feel it. We can know how we’re affected by something. We don’t look to our memory or past experience. We experience our perception directly. We observe the unaffected flow of experience uninterrupted.

Being stable in Shuniya, the unhindered state of mind, is a prerequisite for healing.

Yogi Bhajan said, “If you can empty yourself, the whole universe will come, bow, and serve you.”

Yogi Bhajan referred to Shuniya as “Zero Mind,” the place where everything exists all at once.

Healing Exercises:
Round One (Sanjiwan Singh and Jayson — down): Open the space. Recall the space of the Meditation. Become aware of the Silence in the space. Now open your eyes just enough to allow in some light. Now come into relation with your partner. Allow your partner to affect you. Become aware of the position of your partner’s awareness. Now set the intention to move your partner’s awareness into your partner’s Third Eye. Now come into relation with your partner’s Inner Projection. Set the intention to increase your partner’s capacity for self-healing. Use your intention to neutralize the tendencies. Come to conclusion.

It’s all resistance. We can absolutely assume that when we relate with something in a healing way, everything in our experience is included. Whatever feels contrary to our intention is a resistance. Everything is included when we relate with something. Treat feelings of insecurity, doubt, and uncertainty as resistances.

When we relate through the Silence, we cannot be bothered and reactive. All reactivity in the whole system begins to disappear. The reactivity is to the intention. The whole system begins to align with our intention.

Round Two (Siri Seva Singh and Roopmeet Kaur — down): Repeat of Round One….

Now you lie down, Hari Simran Kaur. Everyone come around Hari Simran Kaur, and heal her now. Just go directly to the experience of the Meditation, and heal Hari Simran Kaur now….

We can either take the steps, or we can just go directly to the experience and heal. There is no controversy. The experience contains everything. None of it needs explanation.

Be aware of what touches your intuitive intellect. What you’ll perceive is resisting its balance. You perceive through your intuitive intellect, which is not based on forms that we impose. The healing is based on our awareness and how our awareness is Impacted.

In Shuniya, we’re choosing how we relate, which is how something will be healed. We know it in terms of our experience. We are the source of all our own perceptions.

In this Body of Teachings, any Teaching that you say contains all the Teachings.

There are a lot of ways that we’re distracted. Pain is a distraction.

Because you Meditate, you go directly to the Source.

This is the first time that we’ve used the Third Eye in this practice.

You don’t have to hold the position that I’m sitting, listening, and trying to understand what the instructor is saying in English. Being aware that you’re hearing something and that something is happening is good enough.

You’re jumping into Dreams. If you find that it gets very Dreamy and you are present, that’s enough.

When you’re using the visual component of your perceptive field, opening your eyes more to allow more light will tend to keep you more present. It’s okay to open your eyes. It’s easy to be distracted by forms that we think we recognize and then build stories.

Very often I’ll heal with my eyes open. When your eyes are open, you have to be really stable in your neutrality so that you are not swayed by anything that you think you see.

Seeing inside with your inner vision is the Second Sight. Drop the preconception that there’s anything out there. We are the source of everything.

You heard it inside of you. You triangulate and impose the presumption of measurement and distance. It’s better not to be distracted by all that. When you are not neutral, you find some bias. Then you’re feeling that something is in some direction with some tendency. A bias can be feeling really good, a discomfort, or out of sorts.

Become aware of anything that has a prejudice or bias. Bring that to no position. Then the perception of the tendency starts to disappear. We can neutralize everything. A tendency has bias and resistance in it.

Light is the sensation that is produced that has color and intensity. Light as an “agent” has meaning and qualities. Associating light with a feeling state with qualities is imposing a prejudice. We give up all our attachments to our preconceptions, and become neutral.

We don’t like to feel anger and hatred. They’re not neutral.

Your intention is more effective when you are neutral. Your intention can change and become new. Your intention is based on something. We’re not completely free to go beyond all forms. Intention arises from contemplation. Contemplate the intention, and allow that intention to include more. Then we’re in this new place.

You’re always listening.

We have a concept of what healing is.

Things are pleasant and unpleasant. Subtleties come up. We don’t need to philosophize.

Our compassion is our motivation. You heal it, and move on to the next thing.

The Yoga Kriya in its pure form itself produces an intention to have some kind of experience happen. Doing the Kriya will produce the experience of the intention.

Some people are motivated by their beliefs that practicing Yoga will benefit them, and that belief gets them to class one more time.

The experience is what happens when you do the Kriya. Yogi Bhajan said, “I don’t guarantee you anything except that you’ll have an experience.”

You guys were strong and cooking today.

We should close class now.

Sat Nam. Sat Nam. Sat Nam. (silent prayer….)

HNS Class Golden Bridge Hollywood – 2012-02-22 – The Aspect of Enlightenment

Tune-in. Ong Namo….

Let’s Meditate.

Innocent Thumbs Meditation: Just contemplate the mind. Experience every sensation. Don’t judge your experience. — 11 minutes

So let’s do some exercises in a particular type of contemplation that is a little different and is nice to practice sometimes.

Healing Exercises:
Round One: Open the space. As soon as you become aware of the present moment, realize that moment is now gone, and there is a new present moment, which as soon as you’re aware of that moment, it is gone, and now there is a new present moment. Pressurize your perception so that you’re aware that as soon as you’re aware of the present moment, that moment is gone, and there is a new present moment. Now come into relation with something in your partner’s past that is still lingering. Heal that. Neutralize the tendencies. Come to conclusion.

That’s called the Aspect of Enlightenment. It takes us outside of our own box, outside of whatever frame exists in our awareness, outside of the resistances that hold us to a perception of linearity. It’s then easier to get outside of the assumptions of distance and time.

Round Two: Repeat of Round One….

Round Three (Japneet Singh and Sanjiwan Singh — down): Repeat of Rounds One and Two….

You can’t feel anything else. You feel yourself in the relation. The perceptions are your own. You are the source of your own perceptions. And it’s not that you have to believe that or not.

You allow your intention to affect everything by holding your perceptions in the presence of your intention and by merging in that relation. Then your differentiation is diminished.

You do have artifacts of perceptive duality. Wherever the intention comes from doesn’t matter. Through the contemplative process the intention becomes modified. Now you have a new intention through contemplation with the event.

The event is unbalanced in some way.

You contemplate to become really stable in your awareness of yourself and the other in a merged consciousness.

Ego comes in when you feel separate from everything. Ego says, “I’m different and distinct from everything else.” Ego wants to exert power.

In a merged consciousness differentiation melts away, and the concept of “you” melts away. Then your intentions start to become effective. Intention comes from the Infinite Source. There is no locality to your intention.

When you go into the Space and heal, you lose your sense of position; and you don’t think about things. Then all those resistances that separate everything start to disappear, and everything starts aligning with your intention.

We jump out, back into our dualistic perception, when we have lost stability in the Space. In the Meditative Mind, we are merged in a non-dualistic state. We contemplate so that our awareness is stable in the Projective Meditative Mind.

Yogi Bhajan’s Teaching is that we move from “I am me” to “I Am; I Am,” which doesn’t define the “me.” Then the “me” becomes everything. “I Am; I Am” doesn’t localize the object with boundaries and constraints. Expand your awareness. Then “me” starts not to make sense anymore, and doesn’t matter.

Who is the observer?

Just allow all the differences. Don’t question preferences. Just observe the diversity. Questions point back to individuals as separate.

When you say, “We are One,” you are still holding yourself apart, as part of “this” group. Go beyond the consideration of what is “me.”

You can’t break out of dualism by thinking. Thinking will never get you out of dualistic thought.

When we practice together in class, it’s easier and simpler not to think. Logic and rationality has a structure and premises, and it’s easier just not to go there.

Experience the flow. Have the experience directly, not burdened by preconceptions and postulates.

It is hard to get away from the way we think.

To experience the whole universe, it’s better not to have any reference and just go with it.

Contemplation increases the intensity, which can be hard to contain. We want to be comfortable in relation with knowledge we already have.

Not moving produces an intensity. The Principle of Zen is that if you contain the intensity produced by not moving, your mind will be as big as the universe. In Absolute Stillness, everything keeps expanding. Let the waves happen of their own accord. Keep releasing your tendencies to want to move. The Practice of Zen is singularly pointed to being in Shuniya, and is done through the will of not moving, even when you are screaming silently inside. The experience of the mind in its pure form in Shuniya is everything. By trying to describe the experience, we’re diminishing it.

We should close class now.

Tune-in. Ong Namo….

Next week I’ll be out of town. Lou Nelson will probably be here to teach this class next Wednesday.

Now we’ll do a really good Meditation for knowing whereby you can perceive the psyche of the other:
Grab the left thumb with the right hand so that the right palm is wrapped around the left thumb. The fingers of the left hand rest on the outside of the right hand. The hands are in the lap.
The eyes are closed, looking at the bridge of the nose.
Contemplate. Watch the flow of your consciousness.
Begin to feel as though your nose is inverted, reversed: that the tip of the nose is where the bridge is, and the bridge of the nose is where the tip is.
Recite silently to yourself the Mantra, “Sa Ta Na Ma.”
Time: 11 minutes
To conclude: Inhale; hold the breath; stretch the spine; squeeze; tuck the chin; feel the space that you just created in this Meditation. Exhale. Relax.

That hand Mudra and the eyes in that position puts pressure on the Third Eye, develops and opens the Third Eye, and stabilizes the Meditative Mind. We can recall the experience of the space that that Meditation puts us in.

The Meditation had the effect of linking the individual psyches into the whole group. Meditating is easier in a class situation because we all interlock with the group psyche.

We’re here to work on developing our Projective Meditative Mind, which is essential in order to use our consciousness to project an intention to heal. We heal with our intention through our awareness.

Just stay in the space that we’ve developed here. Don’t worry about not understanding. Resistances are on top of our experience. Just do it.

Healing Exercises:
Round One: Remember the space of the Meditation. You can put your eyes into the same position and silently repeat the Mantra to yourself to help to recall that space of the Meditation. Place your awareness in your Third Eye space. Now also become aware of the sensations of light that come in through your closed eyelids. Allow the perceptions in your Third Eye space to affect and interact with the sensations of light. Allow the sensations of light to affect and interact with the perceptions in your Third Eye space. Allow all your sensations and perceptions to form a single, unified field of perception. Come into relation with your partner’s attachment to resistance to change. Be aware of the effect on your field of perception. Now become aware of the Silence that exists among and within all the resistances, distractions, pressures, and discomforts. Allow the sensation of the Silence to affect all the dark corners, all the stuck places, everything that is hidden. Just feel everything that you feel. Allow all the resistances to go into the Silence. Use your intention to modify the tendency to bring it to neutral. Come to conclusion.

In the course of the process of doing this, things can come up. Just feel that in its elemental form.

Round Two: Repeat of Round One….

Round Three (Elizabeth, Roopmeet Kaur, Helen, Jennifer, and Sat Akal Kaur — down): Repeat of Rounds One and Two….

Round Four (Siri Seva Singh, Hari Simran Kaur, Sanjiwan Singh, Japneet Singh, and Robert — down): Repeat of Rounds One, Two, and Three….

Intention is just consciousness. Intention doesn’t have weight, mass, or momentum.

We can choose how we hold our consciousness, and how we relate. We relate by not reacting, not pushing, just allowing.

When we set an intention to heal, what we relate with will begin to heal in that way.

We don’t have to refer to an outside standardized mechanism. The results will show up in your Tiny Pet’s experience.

So everybody is okay, pretty spaced.

Before you go out and hit the streets, engage in conversation and come back to Earth.

I’ll see you back here in this class in two weeks.

We’ll close class now.

HNS Class Golden Bridge Hollywood – 2012-01-04 – Basic Sat Nam Rasayan

Tune-in. Ong Namo….

Ganesha Meditation: Just contemplate. Contemplate the mind. Watch the thoughts. Watch the flow of your consciousness.
Time — 3 minutes

So you’ve just popped into a new space.

We’re here to experience. That’s how we learn. As a group we can go through it together. In a group our psyches interlock, and the group will have a similar experience. Guru Dev Singh called this “the Sangat Effect.” When you practice Kundalini Yoga in a class, it’s easier than practicing by yourself.

We use only our awareness to heal. Awareness in its proper form or position can help us to be able to project an intention to heal. We Meditate and practice certain exercises to help us to stabilize the Projective Meditative Mind, which is that specific aspect of awareness. The exercises are directed toward stabilizing that awareness.

The Rules or Propositions:
First — I know something because I feel it. Our perception tells us what we know. The mind is part of that field of perception.
Second — I can feel only myself. Our sensations are being produced inside ourselves. We can know how we’re affected by relating with something. We can trust how we’re affected by that relating. We look inside ourselves to know how our perception is altered. We call that with which we relate in a healing way an “event,” which can be anything: a person, liver, toe, anything.
Third — We can include everything in our experience in the relation. We innocently assume that to be true in an absolute way. We don’t put any perceptions on top of the experience. If you think, I don’t know what I’m doing, include that as part of the experience. Subtly, resistances are part of the experience of healing. You are experiencing what your sensory perceptions are telling you. Yogi Bhajan called this “the human sensory experience.”

It’s not useful to interpret anything. We perceive directly what’s there. We are experiencing what is happening directly with us. Yogi Bhajan said, “Intuition is the most important thing to develop in these times.” We can’t rely on old assumptions now.

We must live in a healing space. We heal through our presence. We make no differentiation or distinction. We bring the Sacred to the mundane through a unitary, non-dualistic way of relating. There is no separation.

When I ask Guru Dev Singh, “How did you know that?” there is no way to describe that. He is Teaching us how he knows.

We’ll practice being in the space of the Meditative Mind.

Round One: Open the space. Migrate your awareness to your First Chakra so that you are sitting in your First Chakra. Come into relation with your partner’s First Chakra. Become aware of the Silence that exists within and among everything. Be aware of the Silence while you’re continuing to be aware of all the activity in your field of perception. Open your eyes just enough to allow in some light into your vision. Be aware of the effect on your field of perception. Become aware of the emotions, and of the tendency to want to move. Continue to be aware of the Silence in the discontinuities. Come to conclusion.

Round Two: Repeat of Round One….

That was a really small step. In my Workshop this Saturday, we’ll learn how to heal with our eyes. Through your vision you’ll be able to direct your attention anywhere in your perception.

Opening your perception is affecting your event. In some way you’re merging in your consciousness so that there’s no separation.

Our experience is the reality. Your partner will have her own experience. We all have our own experience.

There’s no independent observer on the outside. You’re the source of all your sensations. It is what it is. We don’t want to try to describe it with our rational, analytic mind. Guru Dev Singh called “the synthetic mind” that which synthesizes, rather than analyzing against some reference.

We’re being more intuitive and more free in choosing how to relate. We find the best way to relate in the moment.

Round Three: Repeat of Rounds One and Two….
