Life is already perfect!
When you do, this stops you from being in the instant and enjoying the very present moment.
Sure, goals are useful but a skill which is even more useful than that is realizing the perfection of the instant.
Now, most people will realize this perfection in a second and than set up again in the course of achieving distant goals.
This is where you can miss the point because you don't need to shift that.
You don't need to be like a horse always running forward.
This is like a survival instinct or conquering force you can tame.
You don't need to be the slave of that force.
You can relax, step back and take life for what it is:
Impermanence!
After every single goal you achieve there is always a target after that.
Y es!
Pursuing new targets is exciting and creates a stream of powerful manifestation force in your being, but the moment you get enslaved by that instinct, that's when you miss the point and the real target for your life.
You need to look at life from the perspective that everything that could be achieved and done has already been done.
From that point of view, existence takes a very different colour.
It gives you the power to relax, stand still, be at peace and enjoy every single second for what it is.
Remember that within 100 years, most of what you tried to create in your life will be gone!
All that will remain is the memory of a certain experience in your own spirit which is eternal.
This is where you find this dimension of permanency and eternity.
If you stay focused on that level, you look at life like a game.
Yes!
It is a game!
This resets existence from a perspective which makes it totally real.
The usual goals are shifted and become something insignificant in the eyes of this larger scale.
The emotions and quest you go through when you engage into life from the level of physical creation are all alienating for you.
You end up trapped in a scenario where you can not win.
So, what is the answer?
What does freedom mean?
It means to shift perspective and put back what matters most in the center of your existence.
Yes!
It is that simple.
The quests and conquests are all games you play if you want to, because it is fun and gives you an energy kick, but look at it from another perspective and observe what happens when you take some distance.
The total urgency, stress and life pressure are all gone.
What remains is peace and silence.
It is in that dimension of silence that a whole new reality takes place.

Who is Mataji?
She represents the feminine streams which are contained within the Kriya yoga streams.
She represents tantra, artistic expression and devotion, Goddess power, love and beauty, compassion and much more.
She is the perfect female reflection to Babaji.
Here is her name in Sanskrit:
Mataji
You can as well invoke her presence using this other mantra
Anurakti Mataji
Love Mataji

Devotion
You probably noticed that Yoga does not need to be devotional by itself.
You can focus on the poses, breathing techniques, meditations techniques with great results without feeling devoted to a God or Master.
When you touch on Bhakti Yoga, you definitely enter a devotional stream with singing and celebration.
Mataji is here to sponsor that stream.
Does it mean that Babaji doesn't? Of course not :)
Their combined lines of energy simply give an extra boost to this devotional line which could otherwise have been less present in the Yoga stream.

Senses and delight
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.
You are one!
More on that coming soon

Artistic expression
Any spiritual action is a form of communication and exchange with a reality which is much vaster than yourself.
Artistic expression is just one way of communicating.
Yes! It is a form of meditation if you practice it within that spirit.
Painting, dance, music, sculpture, graphic arts, poetry, theater and more can all be seen as a spiritual practices when used in that sense.
Think of the renaissance, devotional art, devotional music and dancing, and more.
All of these try to manifest beauty and through that expression create union with the absolute.
This is another area where Mataji can guide your steps.
Now, how does it work?
It is very simple actually.
You simply invoke her being through the mantras I gave you earlier. You can sing her n ame or meditate internally on her name for instance.
This connects you with her energy field, her guru field.
It will inspire your art and give it extra strength, direction and power.

Mataji? Babaji? Do you need to choose?
Mataji offers you new channels if for a reason or another it feels better for you to relate to her.
The connection you have with Babaji or Mataji is very instinctual.
The ideas I am sharing with you are not rigid or fixed.
You usually know instantly what being you want to relate to.
You will feel inspired to link and connect with that specific energy field.
You can't get it wrong. If you can't choose, you can invoke both beings together and if still in doubt, simply focus on what comes first.
All directions are open!
You are free!

Tantra - Exchange of life force
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.
It is a vast topic.
More on that coming soon

Joy!
Joy wakes up because you do have the channels to express it and because you connect with a spirit which expresses it.
You can feel joy when feeling connected with nature, the planet and humankind.
It is this sudden rush of inner freedom and bliss.

Beauty!
It has to do with aesthetic values and tastes as well.
Expressing beauty through life and art is a way towards inner awakening.
You communicate a sense of absolute perfection through your being.
Your life is itself the greatest art form.
Even if you are not an artist, you can express beauty through your actions, thoughts and emotions.
Your life is an evolving creation which is a true, unique expression of your life force.
Your life is a peace of art
Think beyond crystallization of the form as well.
Beauty can have this sense of ever renewed impermanence.
You don't need to hold it or control it.
You can create it in the the words you speak and how you connect to others.
Beauty is like a seal of energy recogni tion.
It is like a spirit's flow which embodies itself in what you create.
If you don't know where to start, trust and ask Mataji to help you express and connect with it.

Stretch the limits of 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.

Love!
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.
Experience! Trust!
She can guide you with that

Compassionate action - Karma yoga
You can care for nature and animals, humankind or anything else you want.
Giving freely unites you because your action tells that you recognize your essence in what you care for.

Freedom to be yourself
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 an d 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.
Live in freedom!!!

Actualize the energy
If you try to reproduce ancient techniques within today's context they can often feel and be out of tune.
When you connect with an ancient tradition, you can redesign or reinvent techniques without betraying the spirit of that tradition.
You can be faithful to a tradition while allowing space for change and renewal of that stream

How to invoke Mataji's presence

---------------
You can as well associate her name with a specific quality you would like to invoke:
---------------------
Anurakti Mataji
Love Mataji
------------- 
Kundalini Mataji
--------------------- 
Tantra Mataji
---------------
Or use any other quality you would like to invoke associated with her.
You can link her name with a a goddess name like Shakti or Tara.
Now remember that you can't get it wrong.
Her spirit is intelligent and does recognize your intention.
So, don't worry too much about technicalities.

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

Where to start with Tantra
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.

How much pleasure does it give you?
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!

Where do you stand? - 11 min

Discipline or freedom?
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! :)

How to wake up your universal identity
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

Why you need extra power when you wake up your universal identity
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 :)

What does it mean to harmonize your being?
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

Do you need a spiritual system?
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?

What is the force sustaining a spiritual system?
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.
Enjoy! http://vitalcoaching.com/babaji.htm

PS: if you can't or don't want to embrace these ideas, it's no problem. Simply move on and search for your own set of beliefs.
This is just one perspective. It is not a doctrine or a truth, simply an expression of my own experience. These ideas are written down because I believe they might help some of you.

How to manifest a state of yoga
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.

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
