Meditation: Perugia 2013 Homework

On December 7, Guru Dev Singh assigned us a homework meditation, LA873.  He also suggested that we could do one additional meditation, LA847, prior to do doing LA873.  It would enhance the effect of the homework meditation.

LA847-19950816-Unity-Your Magnetic Field of theTotal Self Will Become One

LA873-Nao Niddh Kriya 

Meditation: LA873 Nao Niddh Kriya

LA873_NaoNiddh_meditation
Lose your handicaps.  Lose all points of identification (ego).
(Transcript courtesy of Hargopal).

There is law of sorrow and law of tomorrow. Those of today who don’t face their tomorrow will have nothing but sorrow. You are not born to suffer. Happiness is your birthright. Soul is inside you. You can’t search it through books. What should you do? Just sometimes sit down and tangle.

Meditation: Meditations for the Radiant Body

We have ten bodies.  The projection of the radiant Body, the tenth body, determines how other people see us and how we see ourselves.  It can be shiny and protective, or dull and porous.  We also use our Radiant Body to heal.  If it is strong enough, we can heal people with our mere presence.  This is a goal that is our challenge in this age, where so many people need to be healed and there is so little time.

These meditations strengthen, enhance, and polish the Radiant Body.
