If your energy needs a boost and needs as well to be harmonised, you can use the mantra



Kundalini Mataji

It is another way of directing your kundalini power.

You can use that mantra as well if you feel low on energy.

You can use it in a dynamic way, for instance uttering it while you jog or train in a rythmic way.

You can as well sing it when in nature or use it in association with a breathing technique.

Explore it!

Endless possibilities!

That's an excellent question!

If you have no idea what tantra is and how to link with that energy,

use the mantra:



Tantra Mataji

This gives you an excellent starting point.

This will invite the energy of tantra into your life and offer you inspiration.

Everyone will experience it differently so, I won't say more here.

Our modern world can be very serious.

You can feel like your life is full with demands, pressures, limits and rules you need to follow.

The last thing you want is to transfer these attitudes into your spiritual life.

The way you relate with Mataji is free and open.

Don't limit yourself with useless rules.

Keep your mind free and open.

It is a world of possibilities and playfulness.

The yoga of positive compassionate action.

Of course, that stream if much vaster than that.

You look at nature and humankind and you give a little help when you see a need.

Simple, right?

You respond to a need when you see it. :)

Imagine what happens when this becomes your most important choice making element.

The thing is that in daily life your choices might be based a lot on:

• How much money will you make?
• Is it practical or logical?
• Does it give you more power?
• Etc.

Now, imagine living with a new set of choice making questions:

• How much pleasure does it give you?
• Does it open space?
• Does it increase your life force?
• How exciting is it?
• Etc.

All these qualities are energies you learn to master and manifest in your life.

These gifts are responses to your actions and choices!

Certain actions will generate more money or more power. Some others will give you pleasure, delight, love or excitement.

Imagine that you have the choice between spending 3 hours driving, stacked in traffic jams or relaxing on a wild beach... What do you choose?

Imagine that you can spend your Saturday afternoon, stressfully shopping for stuff you don't need or simply going for a hike and meditating on a hill top... What do you choose?

Imagine that your choices are no longer rational but more excitement based.

When you connect with Mataji's energy and her shakti power, you might naturally shift to a more "pleasure and delight" oriented life approach.

Imagine what happens when you make choices based on how thrilled you are rather than on how practical it is.

I am sure that you already practice most of it.

Mataji simply gives you an extra reason to make delight, beauty and thrill choices rather than rational or practical ones.

Hey!

If fun and delight are not part of your life right now, it's definitely a skill you can practice.

One word! Try it out!

Along the line of the previous post...

Here are two lines of actions you can embrace:

Discipline or Freedom.

Ask yourself these simple questions:

• Are these two qualities well balanced in your life right now?
• What would happen if your level of freedom suddenly increased by 500%?
• Are your spiritual approaches disciplined or freedom based?
• How much excitement and delight to you get from practising what you practice right now?
• Etc.

If you feel that your level of discipline stops you from enjoying what you do, simply ad this dimension of freedom, spontaneity and thrill to your choices.

On the other hand, if you feel like you need more structure, discipline is the quality to ad.

Both qualities are important and can be balanced harmoniously.

However, in today's society, disciplin e, reason and logic are probably overused.

Many people feel a pleasure or delight gap.

If it is the case, ask for Mataji's help and be ready to shift some key patterns in the way you approach your life.

Again, basing your choices on qualities of freedom and delight is a skill you can develop.

It is an energy you feed and nurture.

If freedom is not part of your life, start right now! :)

It's pretty simple actually!

Anything that divides you or separates you strengthens your individual identity.

Anything that unites you strengthens your universal identity.

Feeling your universal identity means feeling connected, united with the rest of the world and the cosmos.

So, if you want to wake up that aspect of your being, engage into actions, thoughts, behaviors, attitudes which link you to the rest of humankind and the planet.

These are compassionate directions.

Compassion means suffering with

con=with
passion=patir (in ancient greek) =suffering

Now, it doesn't have to be suffering.

You can link with joy, celebration, thoughts, feelings and especially love.

Taking action to connect with the rest of humankind links you.

The reason you do it is because you feel you are one with it.

Try it out!

Make a test and follow a line of helping others for a week and check how you feel after that!

You will feel vulnerable on a certain level, and will as well feel a sense of "inner light" and bliss.

This inner sensation is the emotional reflection of this awakening of your universal identity.

It's like activating a certain part of your being. You get a certain direct result by doing it.

It is literally like mathematics or chemistry.

You put together a certain set of actions and you get an inner result within no time.

Now, taking action in an effective way is the next big challenge!!!

We'll cover that one in another post

Waking up your universal identity is like connecting with a new source of energy.

When you do that, you need as well extra power to strengthen your body and mind.

Imagine a stream of energy flowing through your being.

Increase that energy and the system might not be able to take it.

Now, your system is not only your body/mind/spirit.

It is as well the sum of all connections you have with your environment like friends, family, work.

When you manifest a new level of energy, people respond to it in a very instinctual way!

Now, what is their emotional response?

How do you respond when you see extra money or energy?

You want to own it, right?

You want to control it.

This is why just working with love is not enough.

People are competing with each other all the time for energy.

It just happens.

If you want to incre ase your level of inner energy, you need as well a complete system which is able to take it.

More on that coming soon :)

Take a system like your body/mind/spirit/connections.

If you have areas of tension or conflict, these tensions and conflicts will increase when you increase your energy level.

This is why all religions and spiritual systems have some form of purification ritual in their practices.

You purify yourself physically but as well internally so that your channels are clear.

If you are angry when you try to increase your energy level, you increase as well the level of internal tension which can lead to more conflicts and even self destruction.

This is why you need to be very smart when you engage in any form of spiritual practice.

You need to solve what is unsolved.

You need to increase your level of love, respect and harmony, while gaining power at the same time.

Now, the way you use your power is essential as well.

More on this in a coming post

You always use one, even when you feel you don't.

You are always in touch with some form of inspiration stimulating your actions.

In-spiration = taking the spirit in.

Any time you feel inspired you take a certain spirit in.

This force sponsoring your actions might appear vague and formless, it is still intelligent and structured in its own way.

You will notice that it is not just any action you want to take, it is something quite specific.

If you go to the other end of spiritual systems and look now at very structured traditions, the guidelines for your own spiritual evolution are clearly defined.

So, you have two types of systems (and all the variations in between):

Formless = Internal = Arupa (simply means formless in Sanskrit)

Formed and structured = Rupa (means manifested or "with form" in Sanskrit)

It's essential to understand this because you need to know that you are never alone with the steps you take.

A force is always present sponsoring your actions.

You function within a system.

Even a person who feels they have no system and total freedom still function with a certain set of ideas and beliefs which is still a certain spirit.

There isn't an action you can take which isn't contained within a certain spiritual system.

Now these systems can be totally formless and appear totally free.

They might have absolutely no writing or scripture relating to them.

You might even feel that you are the only person on the planet following that specific stream.

Still, you are connected all the time and never alone.

Good news, right? :)

Next question: what is the energy sustaining a spiritual system?

take care  

http://vitalcoaching.com/babaji.htm

What is the force sustaining a cloud of birds?

We tend to think of intelligences as human like forms.

But intelligences and spiritual forces are much more complex than that.

When we function with our thoughts, there is only so much our minds can comprehend.

If you try to reduce a formless spiritual force to something you can comprehend, you will usually reduce it and simplify it immensely.

It is like an ant sitting in front of a skyscraper.

Our thinking system is limited!

The rational and conceptual tools we use cannot comprehend realities which are much vaster than ourselves.

Now, let's still give it a try, ok?

A city has its own sponsoring spirit, identity and intelligence.

This intelligence is the sum of everything happening in that city.

Now, there is what we can see with our physical eyes. What we can measure.

Then, there is the invisible which is probably millions of time vaster and more compex than what we can conceive.

Think of a simple concept like synchronicity.

Our usual rational models don't explain it. We need to step into more intuitive perceptions to kind of grasp it.

So, the force sustaining a spiritual system is much vaster than ourselves.

You can call it an angelic intelligence.

But please, think beyond the person like angel with wings! :)

You can talk for instance about the spirit of yoga or the spirit of suffism.

There are intelligences at play which are not human like!

That's the first key point to realize.

These intelligences are watching over you right now.

Yoga means unity.

When you are in a state of unity you manifest your universal identity.

You function from a place where there is no separation between you and the cosmos, the planet, nature and humankind.

You know that we do live in a field of unified consciousness, right?

You experienced it in many ways.

Now, the goal of yoga is to experience that field all the time.

It is to be in a state of mystical union every single minute.

Now, the effects of this state of unity are so powerful that they transform your mind and body forever.

How to manifest a state of yoga?

The first step is to really understand what you want to do.

Once you have understanding, you need to connect with a stream of power and inspiration that will take you there.

It is like swimming in a river that takes you to the sea

Yoga is an invisible system.

No one fully owns it.

It is anywhere you are, not just in an Himalayan cave.

How does Babaji help you with this?

Well it is like getting the help and sponsorship from someone who travelled that path before.

Now, imagine connecting with a being who lives in a state of unity.

The first challenge you might face is to be able to relate to Babaji in a way which matches what he has to offer.

Imagine that you are standing in front of a semi god or avatar right where you are now.

Are you sure that trying to get his email address or physical address is the way to go?

You might try to relate to that being as if he was a person:

• What does he eat?
• What is his real name?
• How can I meet him physically?
• How old is he?
• Where was he born?
• Etc.

Now, these questions usually stay unanswered.

The questions that do get answered have nothing to do with Babaji's personality.

They have to do with your own spiritual development.

If you feel limited in the way you perceive Babaji's being, expand your imagination and realize that you are relating to an omnipresent energy reality.

This is as well called a guru field.

Guru means light.

Now, this energy field does respond to your emotions and intentions.

This energy field sees through you.

You might believe that because you relate to that energy field, you need to give up your power and destroy your personality?

Not at all!

You need your personality as a worldly vehicle.

You need to keep on functioning on this planet.

All these are key ideas to help you along the path.

The next step is to ask for help.

It is very simple:

This energy field can't connect with you unless you want to.

Simply express your call in one way or another:

• "I am ready"
• "Can you guide me?"
• "I need your help"
• Or any other expression of your desire to connect with that energy reality.

That's it :)

It's not so much the words, it is the intention.

Realize that you are communicating with a field of intelligence which is much vaster than yourself and much vaster than a person.

Now, you probably won't see the sky opening up or a voice talking to you (even though this could happen as well... Maybe :))

The guidance and inspiration you might receive is usually much more subtle.

Here are some examples of what can happen:

• There is no clear answer but the following day you feel inspired to do something.
• This action might look insignificant but it is one small step in the right direction.
• Or you might have a sudden realization two days later.
• Or you suddenly feel a strong stream of bliss.
• Or you feel nothing at all.
• Etc.

These are only some examples of course.

The range of experiences you can have are so diverse.

It is impossible to even attempt to describe them all.

The next step is to respond to this inspiration and actually take action.

Now, taking action can often feel like a small risk.

You don't really know what you are responding to.

It simply feels right.

To take action you need to trust yourself, trust your instinct and trust your source of inspiration.

As you can see, the whole process of manifesting a state of Yoga has its own inner dynamic.

While none of this is fixed and crystallized, you will still recognize some form of coherence behind the inspiration that touches you.

It all makes total sense once you start taking action in that direction.

Now, this "trust" dimension is essential.

Nothing happens unless you fully trust this field of energy and respond to it.

This field of energy can't inspire you unless you ask for help and guidance.

It might be just a one time question or call.

Or it might be a call you renew every day through meditation for instance.

This energy reality simply responds accordingly.

You are free!

Now, this is not exclusive.

The fact that you relate to this specific line of evolution does not mean that you have to cut contact with everything else.

It is not exclusive.

You are free!

That's it for today

Enjoy! ok?

If you already meditated on some techniques and feel like there is no answer coming, it is simply because the answer you receive is usually very subtle and can hardly be felt.

Babaji can communicate to you in many ways and physical speech will probably not be one of them.

Why?

Because this is not how telepathic touch usually works.

This is not how a connection with a guru field usually works.

I know that you might have read books where a master appears to his disciples physically but for most people, this will never happen.

The results that you get from any spiritual practice are usually much more subtle and much less spectacular.

They are feelings of bliss, sudden inspiration to take some form of action, an inner feeling of love and so much more.

These are only examples.

Keep your mind free and be open to any experience even a no-experience.

Even if you don 't feel or perceive a change it is still actually happening.

The spiritual training you are engaged into empowers your mind, body and spirit.

The impact of a technique is very subtle and it is often only after a few months that you notice a real difference in the way you perceive your life, thoughts, emotions and connections with what surrounds you.

There are two ways you can approach your spiritual training:

• Through strong will power and discipline.
• Through freedom!

If you force yourself into a discipline and use a lot of will power, after a while, your level of motivation might drop.

Time to shift and develop a new approach:

• Focus on fun and excitement
• Diversify your approaches
• Use shorter meditations and practices
• Ad new techniques
• Etc.

Your mind might get bored when your practice the same technique over and over again without variation.

The Zen approach works well for certain.

Some people might prefer repeating the same technique without change.

Some others might prefer a more diversified and creative approach.

Suppose you have a mantra like "Anurakti Babaji":

(Love Ba baji )

 

 

• You can focus on it for hours in internal meditation
• You can write it as calligraphy
• You can create melodies and sing it loud
• You can integrate it in a painting and create a piece of art with it
• And so much more.

All these techniques are suitable! They all work!

Just choose the one that feels the easiest for you.

You can choose the easy path!

You can as well use discipline if you want to.

The truth is that you are free!

If you have a friend you want to contact, you can call them, text them, email them, visit them or ask a friend to transmit them a message.

All these techniques work and there isn't one which is better than the other.

No matter what technique you use, Babaji hears your call.

Simple, right? You are free!

There are two sides to your spiritual development:

• The practices themselves
• The actions that follow

The sources of inspiration you connect with are very powerful in changing and reorienting your mind patterns for instance.

Your mind and body are two essential aspects of your personal vehicle.

Use the inspiration you receive to shift what no longer works for you.

You can do that on the physical level by for instance training your body or shifting your diet.

You can do that as well on the mind level by shifting thoughts, ideas or emotions that no longer match what you feel.

Yoga is a state of unity. When you establish it in your existence, it naturally reflects on your mind and personality and starts shifting key aspects in it.

Respond to it and do take action.

Your ashram is where you are!

The reason why an ashram becomes a center of energy is because of a dedication.

You can transform the place you live in, in a glorious centre of shining power and energy!

All you have to do is start taking action in that direction, so that your outer reality reflects your inner state of mind.

If you start touching the space of yoga in you, let it reflect on your personal space.

Make it more than an altar in some corner of your house.

This energy is truly ready to embody itself where you are. All you have to do is give it space.

• Clean!
• Get rid of junk and clutter.
• Let go of past memories you no longer need.
• Harmonize your personal space
• Practice right where you are
• Sing
• Write mantras on the walls and on objects in your personal space
• Use sound and mantric power in your space
• Yoga postures and dance
• And more!

It can easily take a year of focus to rebuild your personal space's energy and empower it in this new way.

Here is a fresh perspective to help you grasp the essence of Yoga.

This exact moment is perfect because it is in total balance with all forces in the universe.

Even disequilibrium is just another form of balance.

You can wake up one day and realize that instead of chasing the future, a distant dream or desire, you see perfection in the instant.

It's a choice.

It is a conscious state of mind you embody because you choose to, not because it is forced on you.

The decision to see this very instant as total perfection is in your hands.

It is a conscious choice you can take right now

Of course, unbalance is another form of equilibrium that pushes you forward.

Desires are emotional forces which push you forward.

They are positive forces if you decide to see them that way.

They are part of creation. They are part of your mind and emotions.

Even a state of non desire is probably the result of a desire to be in that state.

So... The whole duality can be dropped now because there is only unity.

Unbalance functions in the same way.

Unbalance forces you to shift your mind posture to connect with new qualities.

Desires are still within this field of perfection because everything you know is included in it.

Now, it does not mean that you must stay passive and not change anything.

Your will power and conquering drive are lines of power within a much vaster stream of manifestation.

Your desire and will power is one flame within a vast p lanetary field of manifestation.

The power that you express is never disconnected.

It is always linked with a sponsoring energy which is vaster than yourself.

This is why there is nothing to be ashamed about.

Your desires and emotions are part of the story, not some mistake from creation.

The flame that you express is one amongst millions of burning flames stimulated by the same source of inspiration.

This is why you can embrace the forces that trigger your mind rather than rejecting or trying to suppress them.

They are part of the story... Your story!

There are so many ways to connect with Babaji!

The traditional kriya way that a few systems use is only one of them.

They often function around a few core techniques like a certain breathing technique or a specific set of yoga postures.

All these are of great value and do work.

However, they are not unique.

If you were focusing on developing new techniques to connect with Babaji, if you are skilled at it within a few months or years you would have designed your own unique system.

It could involve anything like rituals, devotional singing, yogic postures, mudras, specific mantric formulas and so much more.

There is no limit!

It is like climbing to the top of the Everest.

The fact that a team successfully used a certain route does not mean that this is the only way to the top.

Remember that you function from a state of freedom!

Babaji will never re ject your call because you did not use a specific system or sang a wrong note.

Remember that Babaji is an intelligent energy field.

It is there to free you!

Not to limit you within a fixed set of rules and behaviors.

This is probably one of the key ideas to remember.

Oups... We were talking about Jnana, right?

Jnana stands for knowledge.

This is what I am doing now.

When you sit down and write down ideas which express a certain experience, that's what you do.

It is an art to create a conceptual architecture which matches your experience of reality.

You can design your own architecture of beliefs and play with ideas and concepts.

It is fun to do and the way to start is simply to dare.

Free your mind!

That's your possible doorway into Jnana Yoga

If writing concepts does not work for you, you can try a more poetic approach which leans your writing towards artistic expression.

When you do, you practice bhakti.

Bhakti Yoga is a path of devotion.

Usually it is expressed in the form of singing and music but there is no limit, really.

You can dance, write devotional poems or prose or even express your devotion in theatrical forms.

When you write devotionally, you usually express beauty and love through your words.

In the West, it would be called romantic devotional poetry.

How does it sound?

If you want to try, simply write down the first poetic line or word that comes to your mind.

Here is what happens when I try:

"When I close my eyes..."

And then you follow up with whatever comes next...

When I follow up, here is what comes:

"When I close my eyes, I fe el the nectar of your essence permeating my being.

The sensations are first like a light tingling in my mind and turn quickly into an ecstatic feeling of joy!

The love I feel is all encompassing and embraces every single living form on this planet.

I am at peace and delighted to know you!"

Yes! It is that easy to start:

• "The light in the sky..."
• "The sensations in my heart..."
• "Wake up to the vibrant joy..."
• Etc.

This would be Bhakti writing.

You can express the same via dancing or singing for instance, right?

What does it mean to express Bhakti?

Express what you feel by creating beauty!

Now, simply dare to take a step.

You don't need to be a professional singer to be devotional.

Wrong notes and imperfections are okay, really!

Even if what you write does not really "sound" poetic or harmonious, Babaji understands your intention.

Even if you feel you don't get it totally right in the begininng, don't worry.

It is a skill you can practice and develop within a few days or weeks of practice.

It goes very fast once you try.

You don't need to publish it (even though you can if you want to :)).

This is for you and him. It is like a set of intimate letters you keep for yourself.

Remember that this is a dialogue you establish with Babaji's being.

Right now, you are not doing that for your friends or neighbours.

This is your way of expressing your profound universal identity and feeling of connection you have with him.

If you feel that you want to connect with another source of inspiration rather than Babaji's being, then simply direct your devotional aspiration to the reality you choose.

It can be Shiva, Shakti or even another Guru field if you want to.

It does not even need to be out there. You can talk to yourself, your own spirit.

It can be God, Nature, elemental forces, whatever you decide to connect with through your unique devotional expression.

This is not about kriya or yoga or even Babaji.

It is about you!

It is about you owning your spiritual power, your spiritual tools, your spiritual development.

As you can see, there is a vast variety of ways to connect with spiritual realities.

If it is Babaji you have in mind, bhakti writing is one possible way! It is very effective.

Don't be afraid to try. There is nothing to fear.

You absolutely can't get it wrong :)
