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.

Meditation: LA769-19930415 – Development of Self Control

LA769 930415 Self Control

Pranayama(3 minutes): breath of the dog’s breath
Eyes: the tip of the nose
Mudra: open and close with powerful fists, twisting wrists from outside
inside:
“Open your mouth and look at this breath (start breathing quickly in and
out through the mouth) the breath of the dog, as dogs do. You do not
have to go to a doctor tonight, you should care for yourself. Eyes at the
tip of the nose. This is the reason why dogs never get sick. Breathe fast
and powerful, with all your strength. If you have cancer, do it, see what
happens. You can, use the power. Pull your fingers in hard. Keep your
mouth like an “O”. When you are in a hospital and you feel miserable, that one ‘becomes’ O’ and when you feel even more miserable, it becomes “Q”, your tongue comes out, remember? So, only “O”.
Finally breathe and tighten and squeeze, squeeze, the whole body like steel. Like a cannon, exhale. 3 times.

Pranayama (3 minutes) : breath of the dog’s mouth to O
Eyes: closed
Mudra: Push to turn your arms forward with the palms flat facing
outwards. (When an arm is to go as fast as strength to push off with
your blocks. Others instead returns to his chest and back). This
exercise and very unique, and a bit ‘difficult because will work on your
block and you know we’re all stuck. Same “O”. the breath begins in the
same way the previous one. Quick, quick alternately push out his arms.
Push, Push the dirt off of you hit strong, strong, swim, swim go push,
stronger stronger, whatever you release will be gone for good, you will
not have any new sense around you, stronger than most strong push, push, the hair will grow, push, push, push, push, push all that there is’ killing, push, stronger, with the “O” breath.
continue ……. Finally Breathe? Stay where you are …….. stretch, shake your body shake your whole body…shake … exhale. (3 times by changing the position of the hands) If you do these exercises, you can not have bleeding, you can not have an attack (cardiac), because you are a stress test, this is a stress test.

Pranayama (3 minutes): breathing dog’s mouth in an O
Eyes: the tip of the nose
Mudra: hands open as shown and rotate the palms of your hands
quickly. You see now look, there is an absolute angle of the hand, look
at this. You have to do it exactly that way because the prana must
pass, and and this. (Start breathing of the dog), you see I’m dancing,
the whole thing moves
Come on, come on, move people, you should be at least 20 cm. above
the floor with every move, move, move.
Finally inspired!, And stick out your tongue, and squeeze, squeeze, tongue out, do it like iron and hammer. Squeeze your entire body, exhale. 3 times

No Superstition and the Vagus Nerve – HNS Class Golden Bridge 2012-12-12

Hari Nam Singh
Sat Nam Rasayan® Class
Wednesday, December 12, 2012 -- 4:00 p.m.
Bodh Gaya Room
Golden Bridge -- Hollywood, California

Tune-in.  Ong Namo….

So what is it that’s supposed to happen today?

Student:  Lots of people are getting married today.  That was what they said on the radio.

Are they inducing labor, too?

Student: So that people don’t forget their Birthday maybe.  Lots of people are getting married today because they want their husbands to remember their wedding anniversary.

I guess that’s pretty practical.  Well, actually it makes sense.  For many years my wife and I could never remember what day our wedding anniversary was.  We had a tendency to think it was a day later for some reason.

Numerologically or astrologically you can discern certain tendencies that are produced.  It doesn’t mean that something’s going to go boom on one day or another.  We have in general tendencies to put a lot of energy into these things, thinking that one thing or another is really special.

It amounts to a lot of superstition that we hold.  Superstition is making an assumption about something because you think that something is supposed to happen.  It doesn’t mean that something isn’t going to happen.  We have the tendency not to base our perception on our experience.  Our experience is what counts, and really nothing else.  If we just assume something because everybody says this or that, that’s just really superstition.  So it’s really pretty useful for us to get beyond that tendency that we have of doing that, just be in the moment in the experience, and then see what happens with that.

We could relate with something through a numerological relation, and that has a lot of potential and perhaps even a lot of power; however, that’s just a matter of relating through our experience in that to see how we’re affected by that — not putting the cart before the horse and saying, “We expect this or that.”

That’s one thing that we’ve been working on a lot lately.  Especially in Guru Dev Singh’s Classes, the topic of superstition comes up a lot.  It’s something we can acknowledge, and don’t need to engage in so much.

So in order to mitigate that to some degree, Guru Dev Singh did give us this Meditation, which Yogi Bhajan gave us, which is useful in our time to be engaged with.  Is anybody doing this Meditation?  I thought we’d do that one.

Meditation For Faculty Of Self-Engagement:
Mudra:  Bend your elbows into the sides of the body.  Extend the forearms out in front of the body, and tilt them up at a 45-degree angle.  Have the palms flat, fingers’ pointing straight ahead.  The right palm faces the ceiling, and the left palm faces the floor.  The palms are at the level of the heart center, and the wrists are bent slightly.
Hold the position, and keep the spine straight the entire time.

Okay.  Take your partner.

Round One :  Take your partner.  Open the space.  Feel how the sounds inside you are affecting your Field.  In particular feel how the sounds are affecting your emotional sensations.  Within you feel the sensations of flow.  At the same time feel the sensations of no-flow or where there is numbness.  Feel all those sensations at the same time.  Keep researching how the sounds are affecting you.  Where you feel sensations of numbness or no-flow, feel that from within Shuniya, within Silence.  Feel how it feels from within Silence.  Give it space.  Give space to all those places inside you that feel numb with the intention to alter the perception of those points to be more like those where you perceive a flow.  Relate with your partner.  Feel how that relation is affecting the flow in you.  With your intention in the Silence, give space to those points of numbness — the intention of altering the perception to that of increased flow.  Hold the relation in the Silence.  Come to conclusion.  Switch.

Round Two :  Take your partner.  Open the space.  Feel how the sounds are affecting you.  Feel the sounds inside you, in particular how they are touching emotional sensations.  In your Field of Perception, recognize sensations of flow and sensations of no-flow.  Allow that to be the Mandala superimposed on your Field.  Relate with your partner.  Allow your partner to affect your Field, still being aware of flow and no-flow.  Give space to those points of numbness in the Silence.  Feel those points within the Silence.  Choose to relate with your partner’s Vagus Nerve.  Feel in the area of your left eye and in your face any sensation of numbness.  Allow that to be present in the Silence.  Allow the Silence to affect those sensations.  As those sensations alter, follow the resistances down the length of the Vagus Nerve.  Give space to the resistances as you encounter them, researching the length of the Vagus Nerve through the body.  Allow the sensations of flow.  Balance the sensations of numbness to being more like the sensations of flow.  Allow the sensations of numbness and flow to begin to merge.  Feel it.  Don’t push it.  Come to conclusion.  Switch.

Round Three :  Take your partner.  Open the space.  Relate with your partner, and in particular the Vagus Nerve, and first of all the area around the left eye and the resistances in that area.  Allow them.  Give them space.  Allow those resistances to mingle with the sensations of flow in your body.  As the perception of those points of numbness begins to alter, follow the resistance down the length of the Vagus Nerve, down the face and the left side of the body.  Begin to recognize how all of the sensations of flow, numbness, and everything related with the Vagus Nerve are affecting your brain.  Allow all the sensations to appear as though they’re happening in the mind.  From that vantage research those sensations along the entire length of the Vagus Nerve, and feel the sensations as a whole.  Give space to that flow that appears in the mind.  Feel how it’s affecting all your sensations.  Let the nature of that flow as a whole come into balance.  Feel it inside your brain.  Balance the sensations there, and the sensations as they are suggested to the mind.  Let all of them interact as One Field.  Come to conclusion.  Switch.

Round Four :  Open the space.  Recognize your partner in you, in particular the space of the relation with the Vagus Nerve of your partner, and the sensation of the points of flow and the points of no-flow.  Feel those points in you, from the vantage of how it’s affecting the brain.  Feel those points of numbness in the brain, and how they’re affecting the flow of the mind.  Give space to those points.  Bring the points of numbness in the flow into balance.  Give space to the points of constriction in the mind.  Let them balance with perceptions that have more flow.  Allow the Field to be One Unified Space.  Just with your intention bring it into balance.  Come to conclusion.

So we can maintain some form of reference to sensations that appear in the body; however, we can allow them to be more generalized in a way that they become more diffuse and represented in a more unified way, something that appears in the mind as well.  By maintaining that reference to the body, we can see how we’re doing.  Where we place our intention is in the Overall Field, which includes more than just those specific sensations here and there.

So does anybody have any questions?

We feel something perhaps here or here, and they seem present in the body.  If we allow those sensations and feel how they’re affecting how our brains feel, we can begin to feel how that’s affecting the brain and affecting the mind.  So it’s not just those specific physical things, rather a little bit more diffuse and generalized.  So it’s not just there.  It’s more everywhere.

You can feel where there is flow somewhere.  Feeling where there’s numbness is a contrast to that.  So it gives you some point of a polarity that you can start to balance, not that you push anything through somewhere; however, you feel the difference.  You just give space to those places that feel numb.  We do that with Shuniya.  We go to that place that’s completely Empty, and then see what happens to the flow.  Shuniya is something that’s everywhere.  It doesn’t have a location.  So we would like to start to go beyond just having everything have a location.  Maybe that’s where we can start because our body is a Mandala, which can represent something that’s happening in our Perceptive Field; however, then we can take it further than that and include all perception.  Perception can include what’s happening in the mind.  That’s more where our intentions are held.  We use our mind.  So we don’t need to try to change the perception directly in some place.  There can be a lot of resistance to that.  So what we’re doing is making it a little bit more efficient.  That’s something that you can do more quickly.

You don’t have to believe ahead of time that it’s based in something that’s held emotionally.  You can perhaps discover where in the Emotional Body or in that part of your Mandala it’s appearing in you.  It will touch someplace in your perception where it’s appearing in you.  We deal with it directly there.  We don’t have to assume ahead of time that it’s anywhere.  We don’t have to give it a location.  Just allow whatever then appears in your Field as resistance, and deal with it there.  Just relate with it there.  If it is affecting some kind of emotion, then you can deal with that.  You can relate with that in that way there, and give that space.

It’s a good thing that you’re not thinking in terms of a disease or in terms of something with a cause-and-effect or something that has a position like a sore throat.  You may want to say, “Okay.  Let’s go with the throat here, and see what we can find in our throat.”  We don’t have to do that.  You can use your intention and say, “Well, let’s relate with the throat because that seems to be a gross manifestation.”  Beyond that it’s going to take you to someplace in you where you’re feeling something. You relate with it there, wherever you’re feeling it in you.  It could be an emotional thing.  It could be a flow perhaps somewhere in the body.  You let it be whatever it is.

If we do that, then we’re minimizing our tendencies to be superstitious about it.  Superstitious would be maybe, “Well, let me try to release a blockage in the throat.”  Well, there could be a big assumption in that because often things that happen with people and conditions are much more complex than that.  So the least that we can assume about something and the least superstition we can hold about it and the least belief we can hold, then the more effective we can be.

We’re finding that we can heal things in the most unexpected ways.  Whatever presents itself is your reality.  You can rely on your perception because your perception is what you know, just as it is, unfiltered, and without having to have the commentary, “Oh, well, this is that; this is that,” and start interpreting.  Feel it where it appears in you.  If you can remain stable in Shuniya, then something will start to happen.  You’ll get a broader experience of what’s going on, and allow the complexity of everything that’s going on to start to emerge.  You may find that you’re in a place, relating in a way that’s very different from where you started.

You could ask somebody, “Well, what’s going on?  How do you feel?  Where does it hurt?”  If you ask that question, that’s fine.  The answer is:  What happened in you when you asked the question and there was some response?  That’s the answer:  What happened in you?  Where did you feel that?  Where did you feel the reaction?  Where did you feel the sensation that appeared?  It will always relate with your question; however, you don’t have to interpret the Tiny Pet’s answer because that is irrelevant.  Do you understand what I’m saying?

When you apply an intensity to something like asking the Tiny Pet, “Where does it hurt?” that puts a little intensity somewhere.  There’s going to be a reaction, and it’s going to manifest in some way; however, you are relating with that Tiny Pet; and you’ll feel in you where that’s happening.  That’s where you start.  Forget what the words are of that they say, or not.  You could include that if you want; however, that’s not the point.  That’s not the answer.

Okay.  Maybe we had better finish.

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

Meditation: Breath to Conquer Time Space and Destiny

Breath to Conquer Time, Space and Destiny

“Practice this kriya with and empty stomach. This is a special meditation through which a juman has the power to halt time and space an destiny. Do you understand to what vastness you can reach if you want? One who loves God can twist around even God. That is why we say love is God. The organization of God is timeless, but one who loves God has the power to bring this timelessness into time and space.

“This kriya neutralizes the energy and gives a wider horizon to anyone of limited nature. It is very simple, highly psychological, vey healing and most powerful. It neutralizes the energy and gives a wider horizon to an individual. Left side of the body (Ida) represents time, right side of the body (Pingala) represents space, and the central self (Shushmana) is infinity.

“It is not very complicated, but it does a very computerized , complicated job for any human mind and body. Previously, it was only taught to those who were gifted in the spiritual world. Old Christian mystics used to do it to gain Crist consciousness.

How to do Reverse Prayer Pose Mudra

Roll your shoulders inward toward your chest, stretching your shoulder blades apart. Bring your hands into traditional Prayer Pose and then roll you r wrists so that your palms face your chest. Continue rolling your wrists until the backs of your hands are touching from the wrists to the tips of the fingers (be sure that backs of your Jupiter (index) fingers are touching each other with the same amount of pressure as the backs of the other fingers are touching each other).

This puts a great deal of pressure on meridian points in the shoulders. Maintain the stretch in the shoulder area so that you do not put too much pressure on the wrists. The angle of the forearm is sixty degrees from elbow to wrist.

This mudra puts pressure on the area that controls the secretion of the pancreas. It blocks the sugar flow in the blood stream and gives powerful alertness to the mind. When our mind is alert, it can defend our spirit and we can live spiritually amid the challenges of life.

Lecture
Now, before I start I’d like to tell you something. You are not born to suffer, but you do suffer. You are not born to be poor, but you are, some of you, are poor. You are not born to be unhappy. Many of you are unhappy.

You are not to be and you are. This is what we are discussing today. We’ll go step by step in a very complete, rational approach so there should be no misunderstanding why we are the way we are and why we are not the way we should be.
You have a personality. Some have great features, some are very pretty, some are very intelligent, some are very energetic, some are very sexual, sensual, some are very calm, quiet. Everybody has their different attitude, different values, different desires, different ambition and different circumstances. Your geography is different, the way you took the life in longitude, latitude, that is different. But after all, what is the answer to life? If you do not develop your faculties, you will never have facilities.
What we do? We develop ourself professionally, that’s all we do it. We never develop ourself personally. We also do not develop ourself impersonally. We have absolutely no power over us. Where there is a emotional thing we get involved. We get involved, we do not know what we are getting involved into and we have nothing but trouble.

When you develop your personality you must also develop your faculty (to) be impersonal. When you develop your identity you must also be in a position to read, see, find fairly to merge in other identity. When you have all the facilities of life you need, you must have all the facets of life you need.
I was talking to a professor in the university today.

I said, “Professor, now these are holidays. Why don’t you come here?”
He said, “My facility of my holidays, I’m going to totally sleep.” I just laughed. I said, “That’s why from last twenty years you are junior professor. You have never become a full professor. You sleep too much.”
He said, ”Why not? I get enough salary. It doesn’t make any difference. I am not in any trouble. What do I lose?”
Everything you think in your life is loss and gain. Everything. There is nothing loss and gain. Somebody’s loss is somebody’s gain. Somebody gain is somebody loss. Somebody take away your husband; you take away somebody’s husband. You find somebody. Somebody find you.
Why all this is happening? Because you do not have develop your faculty. As a woman you are not a woman. You are a statue of a woman. That’s all right. Your emotions are not under control, your projection is not under control. Your own confidence is not under your control. Your self-esteem is not under your control. Nothing.
What kind of woman you are? Even you see the boundary, house has a boundary and it has walls. It has… structurally everything has something there to identify it.
You have actually identity crisis. You can’t identify yourself who you are. So when you cannot identify yourself, you hustle. “I am a woman.” Then what, we should make pickle out of you? You’re a woman. Be a woman.
Because you are not a woman to the standard, you are a woman to your own thoughts of a woman. World has a standard. World will never respect you, love you or respect you or be with you until you are not a woman of standard.
You must in your mind understand that you are the upkeeper of your own grace, own character, own commitment, own standard. You have your own facility, own faculties, and own facets. If you cannot be you, then you are going to be exploited and you will be losers.
What happens? When we are young, our blood is hot, we smell men. We smell men and we want to eat them. And if somebody doesn’t get lot of men around, then they put themselves on sale: fifty percent off, twenty-five percent off, seventy-five percent off, free.
You forget one thing as a girl. It is the girl who becomes the mother. It is the girl who becomes the woman. It is the woman who becomes the mother. It is the mother who becomes the family. You are the base of reincarnation. And no purity will suit you. No impurity. Men are impure to start with. I mean somebody they say because I’m a man therefore I put men out of the trouble. No, I’m not putting men out of trouble. Men are half-brain. They don’t have a left brain.
Talk to any man. If he’s reading a newspaper, he will not break your teeth, ask me. Ask him to watching a football team, tell him, “I want to tell you something,” he’s drinking a cup of tea, he’ll throw it at your face. They don’t have that faculty. They are not you. And your fundamental identity is not that, “Oh, I love you, I know I love you.” What it matters if I love you? Doesn’t matter. I hate you; doesn’t matter. I sleep with you; doesn’t matter. I have sex with you; doesn’t matter. I am your companion, all that. Nothing matters.
Whatever you say, nothing matters. Don’t have any idea that whatever you are saying, that matters. What matters is, that you are you. That matters. When you walk tall, the world will walk with you. When you will give a call, everybody will come to you. But when you are a split personality, who’s loving who? Which part of you?
I am yet to see a one person who doesn’t want to be great. If you want to be great, the only answer is be great, act great, move great. If you can act state great, you will never be turned by the fate.
For a woman there are certain things. She’s sixteen time more intelligent than man, and she is two hundred time more sensitive than a man. If there is a something very supersensitive, that is a woman. And by cutting your hair this way or that way and wearing shorts and showing your things and all that, tight all what you can. All you are (is) inviting trouble. Graceful woman will never be daringly touched by any low grade man.
And many time I have counseled when, “Husband is this, my husband is that.” Husband have no problem. Show him you are you. Humee hum brahm hum. Third day the man will be straight.
Men cannot exploit you by right. He will exploit your emotions. Men are very clever. Take it granted. First they create feelings. “Oh honey, I miss you. You know I was sitting there, cup of tea.” He was having a cup of tea with somebody else, you know what I mean? He’s not telling that. He say, “I was having cup of tea, and I was really thinking of you, I was just, I miss you. And when I was drinking tea, it was as sweet to me, and I was thinking of you, you are so sweet.” And he may having girlfriend and having tea with her. That’s how liars these men are. Including me. (Laughter) Men are men whether they are upside down, downside up.
If you do not know the English spelling of a woman, that means contain the man: Wo-man. “She” contains the “he” and “female” contains the “male”. Your process is to contain the man, and if you contain the man you have a granted (guaranteed) happy life. If you can’t contain, consult me.
And learn from the heavens. There is a moon, it reflects the sun. And it wanes and waxes to adjust to it. You should also have a man, you should reflect him. If there is nothing to reflect, then be a full moon and reflect your total self.
No woman can live in peace if she is not respected. Because the faculty of mother cannot be worshipped until woman is respected. You have not to gain money, health, beauty, and all sexual, sensual effects; you have to gain a social system of respect.

In psychology, social life is admissible. Counseling is admissible. But it is not to tell somebody what is wrong and what is right. That is a matter of dispute. But to tell how person can regain one’s own social identity. And that’s how you should look at it.
Your education is your education. Your environments are your environments. Your relationship is your relationship. Social psychological system of your life must stand ahead of you. Ninety-nine percent woman who are battered woman and get a beating are those who are not head of them. All they believe is they get angry, they provoke, they provoke, and the guy already needs that time. One two three, ta ta ta, it doesn’t make sense. Take it granted, now repeat it.

YB: Take it granted.
SS: Take it granted.
YB: Man is a man.
SS: Man is a man.
YB: Neither he menstruates. SS: Neither he menstruates. YB: Nor he has boobs.

SS: Nor he has boobs.
YB: And he’s not going to ever deliver a child.
SS: And he’s not going to ever deliver a child.
YB: So he’s a very different half-headed species.
SS: So he’s a very different half-headed species.
YB: Therefore the half-headed species,
SS: Therefore the half-headed species,
YB: Creating a conflict,
SS: Creating a conflict,
YB: Is just getting the beating.
SS: Is just getting the beating.
YB: So if you want to be beaten, go ahead.
SS: If you want to be beaten, go ahead.
YB: True, true.
S: True.
YB: Why you want everybody to appreciate you? May I know the reason? First appreciate yourself, then people will appreciate you. What you cannot do for yourself why somebody should do for you. If glass is not full of water how can it quench the thirst?
You have to understand ideally one thing. As a woman you are a person who can create another woman who can create a man. Man has no credibility to create another human. So you understand how humungous and most powerful credit you have?
One lady once asked me, “When I speak there is a fight in the house.”
I said, “Go on silence. Why to speak?” Any fight, any insult, any rudeness is against you. Your system is sixteen time more sensitive than a male, and affects you very deeply.
