This is another area where Mataji will offer you a path.
You noticed that the area of the physical senses has often been an area of internal conflict for those engaging into Yoga and spiritual practices in general.
There is a common belief that to succeed with your spiritual aspirations, you need to suppress desires and emotions.
This created a duality always and while many succeeded in putting a lid on their emotions, many more ended up trapped in an inner conflict.
At the end, many of these spiritual seekers ended up spending all their energy fighting with themselves rather than focusing on their practices.
The temptations were so distracting that many even gave up the path because of that.
This is another area where Mataji's energy will sponsor your development along that line without needing to go into suppressive states.
You want to feel united. You want to know that you can embrace a ll aspects of your being with delight without feeling guilt or shame.
The pathways of Tantra and Yoga seem to run in parallel.
They no longer need to be divided.
Any way of defining both always hits some form of limitation: it is never complete, no matter what you say about one or the other.
So, rather than saying what yoga and tantra are or are not (you probably have your own definitions or perceptions anyway, right? :)) let's see them as two spirits. Two sources of inspiration which are both separate and interlinked as well.
They are two systems that work together and in parallel.
Sometimes, you will feel that a practice leans slightly more towards Yoga.
Another time you will feel like it is Tantric.
Now, I do believe that with Babaji and Mataji side by side, these two streams get united within one unified field of energy.
It unites!
It removes differences and creates a flow of inspiration everyone can embrace.
What is T antra?
Well, here is my own definition of it: unity through exchange of life force.
Yoga and Tantra can be seen as two sets of pathways taking you to the same place.
When you connect with Mataji, you realize that what you call Yoga can include lots of lines of energy and actions which are usually not considered as Yoga.
To tell you the truth, if the word Yoga itself does not resonate in you, you can call it tantra or anything else you want.
The spirit is formless.
We give it names and by doing so, we tend as well to reduce it to something we can comprehend.
Imagine Mataji's spirit as formless and limitless.
See it as an energy field rather than a physical person.
See this energy field as a vehicle which translates absolute energy into streams which are closer to the form.
The reason Mataji can help you is because there is a mind dimension to her being.
The guidance can feel more directive and closer to you to a certain extent.
In your spiritual evolution, you are often looking for a path or a system which shows you how to manife st what you feel.
At the same time, you don't want to limit yourself within a structure which is limiting or too rigid.
This is exactly where Mataji can help you.
Especially if you searched along the traditional lines of expression and could not really connect with them.
Her force frees your mind and gives you space to be yourself.
She sponsors and empowers your being without reducing it.
You stay in charge and simply feel her energy watching over your actions and offering you clear guidance when needed.
She will as well stimulate your inspiration and imagination if you don't know where to start.
Of course we talk about the heart chakra, compassion, unity, etc.
All these qualities are part of the love experience and if you feel that love is not part of your life, Mataji offers you a path to open these channels in you.
In 99% of the situations where these emotions are expressed, they don't help you or anyone else.
Why is that? Because guilt for instance has a very specific purpose: reorient an action that should not be there.
It can be a thought or an emotion as well.
Now expressing an unjustified feeling of guilt creates a blockage of energy which divides your mind.
It is like creating a mini internal battle with yourself.
In the spiritual development field, a lot of guilt surrounds emotions like sexual desires, pleasures of any form, passion and other fiery emotions, determination, will power, etc.
The list goes on and on.
These emotions or actions are usually labelled as an expression of the ego or sexual nature.
Now, imagine what happens when instead of wasting your energy fighting these emotions, you actually embrace them, tame and use them as any other form of energy in you.
At that stage you might need a bit of help and support to understand how to exactly do that.
It is simple, you no longer want your mind to be divided.
You want to feel complete, mastering all aspects of your being.
This means unleashing your inner power and embracing fully who you are.
Your ego and instinctual nature are part of you.
No need to be ashamed of their presence.
Use them and master them.
This is a vast open avenue of new possibilities
I am aware that this is a reality you might already embrace.
If it is the case, ask yourself:
How much undigested guilt or shame are still left in you?
Do these emotions play a constructive role in your mind or are they simply holding you back?
What would happen if they were cleared forever and replaced by a free flowing power feeling of trust, joy and energy?
One advice: free yourself and get rid of what holds you back.
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.
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, discipline, 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! :)
