Yoga Nidra could be called the art of sleeping, the art of dreaming or the art of profound relaxation.

In the yogic tradition Nidra is as well referred simply as a state of alert awareness. In that case, Yoga Nidra is simply an inner state of inner peace where the mind and the body are regenerated and vitalized.

Nidra literally means “sleep” in Sanskrit. A wider definition could translate this word as “rest” or “activeless” and can be associated with the idea of mind stillness.

You spend 8 hours a day sleeping.

The goal with yoga nidra is to influence what happens in your dream state.

Nothing mysterious or supernatural.

You can condition your mind to have a greater sense of awareness and action over your dreams and sleeping state.

When you dream you are active within the astral world.

So, what is the connection with yoga nidra?

With yoga nidra, you try to influence what happens in the astral aspect of your mind. You try to influence your dream state.

You simply try to have some form of impact over the way you relate to your emotions and dreams.

There are whole schools in Tibetan buddhism dedicated to the exploration and mastery of your dream state.

How can you apply these techniques in your modern life?

Well, unless you are ready to dedicate your whole life to it, you probably will only touch the surface of it.

However, it is an impact which can be extremely beneficial when trying to harmonize your emotions and for instance find a greater sense of inner peace.

Coaching works with targets. This is where we start in a coaching session. By first defining what is the goal, the target:

Here are some of the key targets which are widely used in the spiritual field. When you start developing your spiritual skills and expand your awareness. You'll often connect with one of these "target stream", sometimes even without being aware of it.

---

Happiness

• Joy

• Love

• Freedom

• Love

• Power

• Bliss

• Etc.

These are the common side effects of spiritual practices. An overwhelming feeling of joy. Expanded feeling of love for other and the whole of creation. Happiness, etc.

---

Magic powers

• Siddhi is the Sanskrit term for magic power

At this stage, this field is slightly "taboo" in the spiritual development field. Masters like Sai Baba are said to be able to manifest objects, manipulate energies at will. We enter here in the field of miracles.

Most spiritual masters and spiritual teachings do not focus on magical powers because they see them as side effects of spiritual development rather than valuable targets.

As this subject is extremely controversial, we won't really go into it here.

---

Material Goals

• Financial success

• Properties

• Prosperity

• Etc.

Again, a very controversial area. Is it ethically correct to search material wealth on the spiritual development path? The modern "prosperity" trend goes with recognizing the "spiritual value" of money. Prosperity is a lot about learning to see and deal with money as an energy. It is as well the art of removing blockages and negative patterns sometimes associated with material wealth.

---

Knowledge

• Understanding

• Awareness

• Etc.

Next time your child asks you about the meaning of life, you could have no problem giving a clear and direct answers.

Developing spiritual knowledge has a lot to do with intuition. In the spiritual field, you might hear terms like knowledge by touch. more

---

Practices

• Discipline

• Life hygiene

• Hatha yoga

• Etc.

This is where if often starts. You establish some form of discipline or practice in your life and from there, your life starts changing, you develop awareness, connect to inner peace, increase your life power, etc. Some form of discipline is often be the first step of spiritual training.

---

Connectedness

• Connection with masters

• Invisible network

• Cosmos

• Universal Identity

• Etc.

Another valuable desire: feel connected with life, the planet and beyond.

---

Action - Life force

• Connection to life

• Life flow

• Business inspiration

• Energy relating

• Sexual satisfaction

• Etc.

Have you ever felt like truly connecting with someone? You meet this perfect stranger and within a couple of minutes, you feel like something special happens. This kind of magic can happen quite often. It is inspiring. It is a frictionless flow of energy. It can happen in any field or aspect of our existence.

In these magic moments life feels complete. It is often associated with a feeling of pleasure or joy. There is clarity. There is awareness.

In coaching terms, we often say: "be superconductive to life". This superconductivity means removing mind obstacles, fears and simply going for life.

---

Organization

• Spiritual business

• Spiritual products

• Centers

• Etc.

These targets are organization targets. Spiritual movements and religions have a natural need to expand, the same way a business does.

In a way, a spiritual organization has its own agenda, which can be very different than the individual's goals.

There are quite a few ethical considerations to assess when going that way. This is a very controversial area, so we won't go into it here.

Here are a couple of examples of organizations which seem to have handled successfully the "marketing" of their ideas: www.sedona.com , http://www.thework.org/

The area of organizations is on the edge of business coaching. The goal in this case is to create a frictionless, effective organization.

---

World action

World action comes from a sense of responsibility. The creation of the United Nations for instance is said to have been inspired from very "high spheres" of human consciousness. The UN's ultimate goal is world peace.

Similar actions involve for instance the coming together of most spiritual leaders.

Another type of actions are the "modern social marketing" trends which state that to be marketed a product must respect a few key ethical laws and be aligned for instance with the well being of those who created it. No child labor. No animal experimentation of cosmetic products. Dolphin friendly tinned tuna fish.

There is more of course.

---

Coaching targets

At this stage, I feel that spiritual coaching truly works for happiness, life force and connectedness targets. The overall goal is simply to harmonize the mind and stimulate the flow of life power in all aspects of your life. This in itself will naturally increase your level of connectedness and overall life satisfaction.

Within the coaching space, I believe we will naturally touch on practices, awareness and knowledge, modern concepts of prosperity and as well ideas related with world action which is linked with the idea of spiritual intelligence.

At this stage, the area of magic powers has a big question mark on it. (ask me why)

The area of organizations is not centered on the individual. It's really on the very limits of what we are treating here.

Labels: articles, concepts, models, targets

Spiritual intelligence is acting, behaving, thinking, reacting, creating with the awareness of where our action fits within the larger scheme of things. Our actions are not separated elements. They are part of a sea of action which, when put together creates the stream of evolution on this planet. Being spiritually intelligent means acting with that awareness in mind.

Labels: articles, concepts, questions, spiritual intelligence

Here area couple of ideas on this topic:

Violence and anger are part of what we can call the destructive cycle.

Anything which happens on the planet is related with one of these three aspects: creation, preservation or destruction.

It is the cycle of life, birth and death.

Violence, anger or destruction are part of the death process of something.

When someone is violent, the message they send out is:

"I want to break open new doors and the only way I can do that is by forcing my way through. I feel like a volcano ready to explode and I don't know what else to do with this energy"

You can think that this person is wrong or guilty but the truth is that nature is creating this reaction.

This does not justify violence or anger.

It simply explains the underlying dynamics behind a violent reaction.

It is a rebellion against a fixed set of energies.

Any form of anger or violence is related with the break through of energy.

It's like someone trying to create space in their mind, body or around them.

Is this a good thing?

Does it justify violence?

Of course not.

It is better however to find out what is going on.



When violence erupts somewhere, there is always a cause or a reason.

You can try to put the lid on this, but it works better to understand what the underlying message is.

The death or destructive part of the human cycle is part of nature. It is part of life.

It won't disappear.

What can be changed is the way “this death cycle” is expressed.

For instance, when you want to move forward in your life, it is common to take some old pictures and tear them apart.

By doing so, you create space and free energy in your mind.

When something or someone feels like they are going to explode, the best is to give them a channel of expression.

For instance, competing on a soccer field is the reflection of the competitive spirit between nations, regions or villages.

500 years ago, these nations might have gone to war.

Nowadays, soccer is the way most nations channel their competitive spirit.

New rules, new games.

If it wasn't for soccer or other sporting events between nations, the amount of war and violence could be much higher, right?

The best way to stop the proliferation of gangs in the suburbs of the Bronx is to bring kids to express their creative power in another way.

The moment you channel this break through force in other directions and give them chances to succeed, anyone would take other alternatives.

People turn to violence when they feel trapped.

They turn to violence when they feel there is no other alternative or when they are simply used to respond in that way.

If they were born in a violent environment, they will naturally reproduce these patterns.

So, what to do?

The first step is to understand how anger and violence work in your own system and around you.

Once you understand the dynamics of conflicting energies in and around you, and find ways of transmuting them, you solve the violence dilemma within a “microcosm”: your life.

Once you are good at it, you can expand these skills and start influencing other people.

If you see conflicts erupting at work for instance, you can play the role of a mediator and find ways of bringing back peace.

Long term solutions involve of course political action.

Governments work at this all the time.

Humankind evolves in the right direction.

It takes time to shift such patterns.

Eventually self destructive human behaviors can be redirected in more constructing ways.

This does not mean that the renewal (destructive) force of nature stops.

It is simply channeled in a different way.

Enlightenment is the downpour of nirvanic energy into your personal vehicle or into manifestation.

This experience is happening right now on a larger scale on the planet.

It has been happening since beginning of time.

The process of human evolution is a process of enlightenment.

You integrate energies which are coming from a higher plane of consciousness: Nirvana.

When this downpour of energy is sudden and conscious, you truly feel transcended by light vibration.

In most situations however it is more like a drop by drop pouring of energy into your consciousness.

Everyone is getting enlightened to a certain extent.

The flow of life force in your consciousness is a process of enlightenment.

The totality of humankind is going through this process.

Now, when you consciously meditate and invoke energies from these higher planes, you strengthen the "bridge" with these higher levels of consciousness and speed up your spiritual evolution.

How do you know you are enlightened?

When you are enlightened, you know it for sure and there is no need to convince anyone about it.

It is good to remember that enlightenment is not an absolute measure.

What you perceive is an "acceleration".

Imagine you travel in an airplane.

You feel a thrill when the plane accelerates, right?

It is this acceleration which impacts on your senses and mind perceptions.

You feel flooded with bliss and inspiration.

This can be a one time experience or something which happens over and over again during a period of time.

It can be spontaneous or the result of intense spiritual practices.

You can't create enlightenment by will power in the same way as you can't control your ultimate sources of life force.

The will power you perceive in you is based on your personality.

The will power which is the true source of your incarnation is based on another level of your being: your spirit.

This spirit is linked with a vast field of energy.

You can call it universal consciousness.

Enlightenment happens when all aspects of your being are aligned and attuned with your long term cosmic purpose.

How do you achieve that?

Well, there are many forces involved in this attunement and what you have control over (your mind and personality) is only a small fraction of it.

This means that you can only do your part.

When you feel inspired to look for enlightenment. There are always more forces involved. You are not isolated with that.

Your desire and spiritual impulsion is related with an invisible connection with a source of inspiration.

Trust and do your part and the other forces involved in this process will do theirs.

If you hear someone saying: “this is the absolute and only truth!” wake up and see it as a warning sign!

There isn’t a unique truth!

Truth is an inner belief and conviction which helps you take the next step along your spiritual evolution.

It is crystallized as a given mind set in space and time.

It is still a mind set! It is still part of human creation.

You can be exclusive if you want to but always keep in mind the bigger picture.

Tolerance and respect are a must!

The planet and the human race can’t do without it.

We are in a point in time where it’s not about winning over another movement or another system of beliefs.

Active confrontation is a lost cause.

You want and need harmony!

You want spiritual synergy!

You want everyone to win!

Spirituality and religions must evolve beyond the limits of the past.

There is a new way opened into the future which does not limit your mind ever.

It limits no one!

It stays open on every possible human direction and experience and simply states that you choose your own truth and so does everyone else.

Respect and synergy are at the core of any further step.

The number one reason you might get stacked in your spiritual development has to do with lack of wisdom with using the power and awareness you receive.

There is a path of unification building up on this planet.

This path gives space, integrity and autonomy to your individuality.

There is no reason to limit yourself within a limiting mind set you don’t want to embrace. You are free!!!
No one can force concepts or ideas into your mind.

You are the one who chooses your own truth and mind sets.

Don’t try to control anyone else’s either.

You don’t have to convince or promote.

You don’t have to force your ideas into other people.

If you feel someone could take some help from you, ask them for permission and wait for their answer:

Suppose you have a friend who could use a bit of help from you. You can say something like:

“Look, I can see that you are having a hard time right now. I have a couple of tools that I feel could help you. Would you like me to give you a hand with that?”

If he/she says yes, go ahead.

If the answer is no, respectfully step back.

You can’t force an idea into someone’s mind.

The key values into today’s spiritual development field are freedom and respect.

They are the key pillars which can guide your actions.

Labels: articles, challenges, concepts, fanaticism, networks, questions, traditions

You are the center of your life.

You own your spiritual authority.

It is okay to test what is told to you.

You can of course show respect to someone who knows more than you do on a topic.

No need however to make yourself smaller than you are.

You are in charge of your existence! No one else is.

The moment you give up your power, you create an energy gap and can feel powerless very fast.

This is what tends to happen when you join a group or movement.

Some of these movements function within an archaic mind set.

Rules and controlling patterns go far beyond what is actually needed.

This happens for a reason. These patterns related with the Guru-Disciple relationship have been around for thousands of years.

Many tradition and spiritual transmissions are based on this relationship.

Now, the planet and human consciousness have been tuning into new models.

There are new spiritual laws emerging which recreate the dynamics of spiritual transmission and the way you relate to spiritual authority.

Anything which is alienating in one way or another limits your mind.

The goal nowadays is to establish a one on one connection with sources of spiritual authority.

Your source of spiritual inspiration can be your best friend rather than a ruling monarch.

You can choose the model which fits you best.

What do you want?

You clearly have the choice!

When you function within a spiritual movement or organization, there are 3 energy realities involved:

· You, your being, life, career, family, belonging, etc.

· The leader of the organization.

· The organization itself, or group.

The interests of an organization are very different than your own interests. They are as well different than the interests of the leader.

In today’s equation, your individual interest’s often come last.

An organization can have so much power that it even overlaps the will of the leader.

You can compare this model to a business organization or company.

The dynamics of a manifested spiritual organization are not different.

These organizations can be sometimes full of tensions and inner battles.

These have to do with “politics” and don’t really help you in your spiritual development, right?

You, as an individual want one thing:

· A clear connection with a source of inspiration

· A user’s friendly environment

· A sense of space and freedom

· An empowering community

Communities can be very empowering but they can be very limiting as well.

An organization can get entangled in practicalities and blinded to a point where it totally forgets about the individual interests.

Why does this happen?

In a way because you let it happen.

To tell you the truth, when you come anywhere near a spiritual organization, you can feel straight away if this will help you grow or not.

When an organization is established there is often not much you can do to change it as an outsider.

Suppose you walk into a restaurant and don’t like the menu: you can either spend energy trying to tell the chef that the menu does not match your needs. On the other hand, you can as well walk further until you find a restaurant and menu which does truly match what you are looking for.

If someone asks you about your spiritual beliefs, you probably have difficulties limiting it to one movement, belief or thought.

In fact you might have reached the point where you feel first human before anything else.

You reached the point where you don’t to exclude anything.

You want to embrace the totality of what happens on this planet without rejecting any of it.

The fact that you practice vipassana meditation one day does not mean that you can’t go for a yoga class or a Christmas celebration the following day.

There is no longer a need to be exclusive.

In fact, divisions are a source of pain and trouble.

There is a sense of global community and planetary citizenship which is growing and expanding at high speed.

In the same way, there is an expanding invisible network of energies, resources and teachings which surround the totality of the planet.

You can connect with mind sets which free you forever.

You can choose your own path and explore your truths using whatever techniques you feel are appropriate.

Your spiritual autonomy is a value which is available for you.

You can receive a master’s teaching without committing yourself to anything else than what you need.

The way you can access teachings and spiritual resources has radically shifted in the last 10 years.

Some movements still hide within high levels of protectionism while waves of transparency and total clarity open your mind in explosions of new potentials.

The sphere of what you can access today instantly is infinite.

You can connect with powerful sources of inspiration while maintaining satisfaction on all levels of your existence.

You own your spiritual existence.

You own your life tools.

This is the context in which you evolve today.

If you need help or new tools, there is a infinite network of forces and beings which are ready to help you within that context.

There is no reason to limit yourself in any way.

The territory is absolute freedom.

Etheric substance is life force. It is energy. It is as well sometimes called bioenergy.

What our eyes see is only the grosser or visible part of our life force. It is flesh or matter.

On the etheric level, you can perceive a different set of forces and energy.

At this stage, not much is known about the etheric body.

Most of the knowledge on this topic comes from the occult field.

The scientific field tends to deny its existence or at least its importance.

It acknowledges the existence of an electro magnetic field in and around the body but it’s implications and functioning are not yet deeply explored.

Labels: articles, concepts, etheric substance, questions

This is where it all starts!

You are free!

You are a free spirit!

The moment you incarnate, you start manifesting forms which belong to the reality around you.

You want to reconnect with this sense of inner freedom.

You want to master your life.

You want to master your mind.

You want to connect with your universal identity and explore the full range of your potentials.

It is your birth right to engage in this quest.

It is a conquering move.

Labels: articles, concepts, dynamics, freedom

If you feel that your spiritual quest hits a wall or a limit you don’t seem to overcome, it is usually the sign that you need extra power to break through.

Power is a bit of a taboo topic on the spiritual path.

Why is that?

Because power tends to be associated with abuse of power.

In a spiritual environment where many teaching talk about surrendering your ego and anything which belongs to you, the natural trend is to give up your power rather than increasing it.

This is the moment a split can happen.

Power is good!

Ego is great!

Your ego is not on the way!

It is your life vehicle!

It is the reflection of your personality.

Having material and spiritual ambitions is okay.

They are both part of your incarnation and you are the one who decides how much of these qualities you want in your existence.

Many spiritual seekers feel powerless.

Are you one of them?

Are you in a situation where you doubts everyone of your steps, lack trust and simply feel that it takes far too much effort and energy to maintain your existence?

If this is the case, I know exactly how you feel.

I wrote this e-book precisely to answer some of these fundamental questions and give you extra tools so that you can move forward in your spiritual quest.

Taking control of your life can feel “scary”.

It is like suddenly sitting in the cockpit of Boeing 527 and being told: “Here we go! It’s all your!”.

Somehow, believing that the cosmos can or should do it for you is a safer alternative, right?

You can sit down meditate and call for help.

This works wonders!

Now, there are certain steps that only you can take.

You were given a body, mind and spirit.

You have a unique ability to recreate the world around you.

You can shift, build and transform.

The key of this transformation is action.

It is through your actions that you primarily impact on the world around you.

Suppose you want to send a message to a friend:

You can sit down in your favorite mediation posture and try to find a telepathic bridge between your two minds.

You can spend years researching and trying to achieve just that.

On the other hand, you can achieve the instant result you want by simply sitting behind your lap top and sending an email.

Action is powerful!

The moment you align your being with your spirit and bring your power all the way into manifestation, you can start transforming life around you.

It works!

You can stay in your meditation posture and invoke creation to take action for you.

It won’t work!

Sometimes, you get these gifts along the path, right?

You meet the right person at the right time.

Everything falls into place.

It is perfectly synchronized!

I am sure you love it when this happens.

You probably have a few stories about magical encounters and very special events where you get this feeling that the cosmos did open a very special door for you.

It does happen and it is beautiful.

Now, the cosmos needs you to put your wisdom and skills into action.

You were given a body and mind.

It is to use to its best.

The goal is not to give it up.

The goal is to use this as a vehicle to transform your life and the planet to its best.

You are part of a much vaster cycle of manifestation.

Infinite power and potentials are ready to flow in your existence but to do that, you need to embrace existence rather than denying it.

This is the first step.

In a way, this can be seen as a revolution on the spiritual path because so many teaching tell you otherwise: sit down, stop moving, don’t think, block your emotions, suppress your desires, etc.

If you tried this and feel that you hit a wall, it is time to shift course.

Embrace life and everything which is part of it.

There is no need to reject any aspect of it.

You can live life fully, let the streams of your emotions flow freely.

You can share life, feel life, laugh, smile when you want.

Unwanted or forced suppression simply creates tension in your body and in your mind. It limits you rather than freeing you.

Some discipline when it is your choice can be good of course.

It is all a matter of balance.

Life force flows through your whole being.

Emotions and thoughts are visible aspects of your flourishing mind.

It is okay to live life fully without suppressing any of it.

Ask yourself this simple question:

“If millions of people were performing the type of action I am performing right now, what would be the effect on the planet and humankind”
This is a such a key question!

Imagine the long term evolution line for the planet.

Imagine the role you play in it.

When you need to make a choice, ask yourself this simple question.

It will tell you exactly what works and what doesn’t.

It will tell you what patterns in your mind are old and no longer needed.

It tells you what new mind sets are needed so that life and humankind evolve harmoniously on this planet.

99% of what happens in your life happens by itself.

Most organic functions in your body are out of your control.

It just works by itself, right?

Heart beat, blood circulation or digestion are all happening by themselves.

Lucky!

Imagine if suddenly, you were given control over these functions.

Imagine if you had to suddenly regulate all that.

Another part of your spirit takes care of it.

It works by itself!

Thank god!!! J

The same goes on for your mind, senses, spirit and much more.

Every now and then, you hit a challenge though.

It can be a physical, material, mental or emotional challenge.

You realize that somewhere your nature needs a little help.

You can then use your will power or your two hands to stimulate evolution. You can take action and lift the resistance or life blockage you are feeling.

Suppose you run out of food, you can actually go to the supermarket and get some vegetables for your evening stew.

This is great news!

Your nature and spirit does most of the work.

Your only task is to help life here and there when it somehow gets blocked or limited by an obstacle.

It is a bit like a river flowing.

You can help remove a couple of hills so that water can keep on streaming towards the sea.

If you put your body in a yoga posture, this is what you do, right?

You simply encourage the flow of life force all the way to the most minute cell.

You stimulate the flow of energy into your being and by doing so, you feel more alive.

The goal of any technique or spiritual practice is simply to open new doors in your body, mind and spirit.

Once energy is flowing, you can usually relax with the technique or eventually keep on practicing it just for fun.

Remember, simply give your nature a little help when you fell life force gets stacked in any way.

This can happen in you, in others, in organizations or in the nature around you.

The moment you do something about it, you simply care.

Your real home is the planet.

All of it!
Your house is only a temporary shelter.

At the end the place where you go back if anything happens is nature.

This is your real home.

The moment you isolate yourself from nature within the 4 walls of your house, you cut yourself from natural sources of energy.

These sources of energy are everywhere in nature and on the planet.

There is nothing wrong with having a house. On the contrary!

It is important however to remember that the real protection for you and the totality of humankind comes from nature.

Nature contains mind sets and energy sources which are unique and are intimately associated with humankind’s well being.

The moment you feel you need to reconnect with yourself, nature is always there for you.

There is nothing in nature which wants to hurt you.

One important step of your long term spiritual evolution is to make sure that your connection with nature stays active and alive.

It is not enough to put a few crystals around in your house when you can actually walk bare foot on a sandy beach.

A sandy beach is literally a vast field of crystals.

A mountain is a 2000 meters high huge crystal!

Never forget about this.

The power of nature is there all around.

Dare to connect with it.

Dare to tap into it fully rather than closing the doors.

It is an infinite sources of harmonizing energy which has the power to heal any wound in your system.

If you would take the risk right now, to spend 6 months in nature day and night, live in the forest with no roof on your head, you would reconnect with all the basic elemental sources you need in your life.

Now, this would be a drastic step.

You don’t have to be that extreme.

Simply remember that nature is your real and ultimate home. It is not just your backyard.

Your house is only one of the rooms of your existence.

Sometimes, you need to connect with sources of energy which are available in any form forest, river or sea.

Simply dare to go for it!

It is always good to remember that whatever we do within a coaching space is related with the mind.

Your mind is situated at the convergence between your universal identity and the world you see around you.

Beyond the limits of what you perceive with your senses are worlds and realities we can't comprehend.

As your mind grows and expands in intelligence, it grows in directions which are undreamed of.

It follows a natural stream of evolution and connects with the future.

Your future!

What will your mind look like in 2000 years?

The areas we focus on with coaching are what is in front of your eyes right now.

Why is that?

Because this is the top priority.

The best way to get into your future and connect with your vast infinite potentials is to simply take your next natural step, whatever that step can be.

In most cases, this means bringing a higher level of harmony into your existence of gaining a higher level of satisfaction from life.

The goal is always to gain greater mastery and direction over what happens in your life.

Basically, you want to master your mind tool and work better with the forces which surround you.

You want to master your life and existence and align yourself with the vast streams of human evolution.

Once you connect, evolution happens by itself.

This is the big picture.

This is the context in which this e-book was created: as a way of helping you take your next natural step.

I love these ideas and I hope you do as well.

Beyond the limits of an e-book there is this simple and profound desire to simply help you take this next step.

This next step brings you closer to your destiny line.

It is thrilling!

It is a travel in consciousness, an expansion of awareness.

Enjoy your trip! J

You are free!

The last decade created a revolution in the way you can evolve on the spiritual path:

There is suddenly instant global access to a gold mine of resources, and teachings.

This mean that you get this greater sense of autonomy and control over your spiritual development.

You are much less dependent from organizations or masters accepting to initiate you into a certain stream.

This is really good news because it totally reshapes the way you can evolve spiritually.

In the past, you would need to meet a teacher face to face to receive an initiation.

Nowadays, there is a an enlightened network of energies all around the planet.

It is in your house right now.

It is in your mind and in your life.

It is a like a net of electro magnetic vibration stimulating and empowering the human mind.

You can call it the invisible network.

When you get a sudden rush of inspiration and desire to connect with a given spiritual stream, you simply pick up on this vibration which is everywhere.

This gives you a much higher level of autonomy and independence with your spiritual quest.

You can feel totally awakened and touch on enlightenment from the comfort of your own town.

You are the ashram!

You are the temple!

You are indirect connection with a stream of enlightenment which nourishes your spirit every day.

There is no need to delay spiritual satisfaction and achievement.

It is something which is in you right now.

It is a profound potential of energy.

It is a system of forces and mind sets you can tune in and wake up in your being right now.

You are the highest authority in your life!

You are the master of your destiny and evolution!

You are in control of where you want to be.

You have a full sense of authority and ownership over your existence.

This is the new spiritual equation.

You are in charge of your life and your destiny line is alive and awake in your being right now.

Don’t surrender your will or power to anyone. These belong to you.

Techniques, approaches and strategies are now part of human consciousness and the way for the planet to evolve very fast is to share and create synergy.

You are part of a much vaster stream of human evolution.

Your actions, thoughts and beliefs happen within a stream of manifestation which contains the totality of humankind.

Now, you can have a sense of control and ownership over your own stream.

You are the one in charge.

Sure, you swim in life within a much vaster reality but at the same time, you still direct your existence in a way which satisfies your inner needs.

Your evolution is your agenda!
No one else’s!

It is your right to decide where you want to go and where you want to be.

You are the master of your destiny!
You are the designer of your existence!

You own your life!

You can receive an initiation:

· From a book

· In a dream

· From a passing “wave of inspiration”

· From someone you meet

· From a friend

· From a group, organization, spiritual teacher or guru

· When visiting a sacred spot on the planet

· Through an initiatory travel

And so much more!

There is no limit to it!

An initiation is a key which opens a new window of your consciousness.

Your life can be transformed forever by an insignificant experience.

You might share this 2 seconds eye contact with someone you will never meet again and have this full mystical experience.

Your consciousness is limitless.

Rules are invented by human systems which want to stabilize a given message or energy line.

Someone will say: you need to be a vegetarian to walk the spiritual path.

That’s a limiting thought, right? Not a freeing one.

You decide!

There is no limit!

Identify your core beliefs and manifest a life which reflects them.

If a mind set fits you, embrace it! If it does not fit you, reject it and find one which does match what you feel.

You can design your own path in whatever way you want.

You can reinvent your own spiritual development by fully trusting your instincts.

You have common sense!

You are smart, clever and have many years of life experience.

You can tap into an infinite source of knowledge and inner resources any time you want.

Is anything limiting you?

Yes! All your past experiences are mind frames.

These past experiences both protect your mind and limit it when you want to grow beyond them.

These mind sets are what you accept as your present territory or limits.

They are not the real limits of your consciousness: they are simply the territory of what you already explored.

Any object, thought, emotion you own polarizes your mind.

It is like a signal you send out.

How is this signal created?

It is created by the interaction between your life force and the filter of your personality.

Life force impacts on your mind and is reflected in the form of actions, thoughts, emotions, feelings, creations, etc.

A thought is an elemental projection.

Every time you think, you create a “mind blue print”.

In that way, your mind creates millions of blue prints every day.

Every “mind object” (thought, emotion, feeling) is the result of the interaction between your mind and the manifesting life force flowing though your being.

You can break through any limit by shifting key aspects of your mind.

Once key aspects of your mind are shifted, what you reflect or radiate is as well changed.

Right now, you are teaching something to your environment.

You radiate a message 24 hours a day.

If this message is tuned into the long term evolution of the planet, you receive an extra “energy sponsorship”.

If you work against human evolution, many forces in society try to stop you and limit you.

This happens both internally and externally.

If you get side tracked in self destructive or limiting behaviors, you get warning “impressions” telling you that something is wrong.

Your destiny line is intelligent.

It is not a fixed and systemic plan.

It represent the sum of all your potentials.

It is a projection of your spirit which is an intelligent organic aspect of your being.

The best way to unleash your full potential is to understand the role you play in human evolution.

These streams of human evolution are the forces which empower you.

If you want to take a quantum leap in your spiritual development, you can start right now.

Take a white page and write down what comes to your mind.

You will instantly tune into a flow of inspiration.

This is not automatic writing.

For instance, if you don’t know what to do next, write down the possibilities which come to your mind.

You will notice that there is a some form of guiding force in you.

Your instincts know the answer to most of your questions.

Instinctually, you know what to do next.

You simply need to dare to take control of your own evolution.

It is your hands!

You own your destiny!

You are the person who has the greatest influence over what happens in your life.

This means that if something bothers you or feel unfilled, do something about it.

If you don’t know the answer or what the solution is, start actively looking for it.

Sitting back and waiting won’t take you where you have the potential to be.

Take action instead!

Try! Experiment! Learn from your actions!
I don’t know where you will be in 5 years from now, but I can definitely tell when you are holding your life back.

Spiritual receptiveness is the art of listening to what you can achieve.

It is the art of being and staying awake any time anywhere.

It is awareness!
Your inner senses are awake.

You know who you are!

Self realization is the sudden awareness of the miracle of life.

You are alive!
Your whole being is permeated by life force, right now!

Spiritual synergy is the art of working with the forces which are around you. It is the art of connecting with a vaster flow of evolution and functioning in harmony with it.

Human evolution is a vast enterprise.

No one is isolated in it.

You are being watched by hierarchies of forces, intelligences and energies.

The condition for human and planetary evolution to go ahead is to be able to function together as a unit.

The planet is our home but we are not the only forces active in it.

Our physical and subtle senses only access part of the story.

Behind the veils of out consciousness much more is going on.

Human evolution is not a coincidence.

There are vast hierarchies of guiding forces supervising this evolution.

The fact that we don’t see them does not mean that they don’t exist.

The fact that you can’t see a radio wave does not mean that the wave is not there. You need an instrument to be able to perceive.

The world that you see with your physical eyes is only a small part of manifestation.

Consider it as the visible part of the iceberg.

The forces which truly sustain human life are beyond our understanding.

The closest we come to comprehend it is by describing them as “romanticized” angels with human like bodies.

In fact the totality of the planet is permeated by forces we can’t see.

Our instincts or intuition can be awake though.

You get feelings, impressions and with some practice you can actually develop a higher sense of awareness of what is actually pulling the strings on this planet.

Spiritual synergy is the art of working with all these forces.

You don’t need to see or perceive them all.

You simply can feel when you go against the “current” and actually hit “walls” of energy.

The final goal is to remove frictions and make sure that your life force can flow in the most constructive and effective way.

This is a perfect description of what happiness is about, right?

It is the art of removing obstacles in and around you so that the full potential can be expressed.

Spiritual synergy is as well the art of creating win-wins out of any situation.

We are in a place in human evolution where no one needs to loose.

You can create win-wins out of any situation.

This is synergy.

If you apply this to vaster evolutionary schemes, you can call it spiritual synergy.

It is simply the art of synchronizing your energy and purpose with the world around you.

Labels: articles, concepts, dynamics, synergy

If you take this one step further, you can talk about total synchronicity.

This would be the art of being in the right place at the right time performing the right action.

Again, when you develop a higher sense of awareness, you do actually perceive more of the invisible.

We are not talking about clairaudience or seeing auras.

These are still physical-like senses.

No, you can perceive the invisible aspects of the world around you by meditating on your third eye for instance.

After a few weeks of practice, you perception of the world around you magically increases and you perceive the causes and effects of your actions.

You discover how events, people and actions are connected and interlinked.

This means as well that you have a greater ability to see the role you can play in the vaster scheme of things.

Often, all it takes to feel synchronized is simply awareness.

You have the power perceive not just the dynamics of your own existence but the dynamics of what happens around

Labels: articles, concepts, dynamics, synchronicity

Separation is an illusion.

On an energy level, you are connected all the time.

What can feel divided in your mind and personality.

Your spirit and life force are always connected with a vaster stream of manifestation.

Part of your spiritual development is to realize this more and more.

You are being sponsored right now by vast field of life force. This life force sustains your body, mind and spirit 24 hours a day.

It is there all the time.

When you realize your spiritual identity, this is the reality you live in.

You are and feel awake.

You are simply aware of your connection with the world around you.

Your physical existence can stay exactly the same, you can still be aware of the vast interconnected network of energies you are part of.

Meditation is the art of manifesting and experiencing this connectedness.

At this stage, what you can call your spiritual anatomy is everything which has not yet been proven or explained about your body, mind and spirit.

You can use the term spiritual for lack of better word.

Within 100 years, what is discussed in these pages, like chakras, etheric body, spirit, life force, bio energy, etc. will probably have been fully explored and explained in scientific terms.

At this stage, there is still a “veil” which prevents humankind from seeing the full picture.

Some centuries ago, when doctors first started exploring the human body, they unveiled the functioning of a very complex mechanism.

Nowadays, if you want to study anatomy, it takes you a full six years of medical studies to actually grasp only a fraction of what has been explored so far.

At this stage, your invisible anatomy still needs to be explored and understood.

You only get bits and pieces coming from various sources like ancient spiritual traditions, alternative medicine fields, paranormal studies and real scientific research.

Data and information is scattered and often contradictory but I am convinced that all this will totally make sense for anyone within a few decades.

In the mean time your main tools to explore your spiritual anatomy are your instinct, intuition and common sense.

Initiations can happen in many ways and many forms.

Sometimes, you get a sudden revelation or deep understanding.

You feel like your mind did just break through.

You feel an openness and relief.

It is like penetrating a temple and suddenly opening up to a new reality.

Any new experience in life can be seen as an initiation.

The first time you see the ocean might feel like an initiation.

What about the first time you take a plane, or the first time you taste a glass of wine?

These are worldly experiences which welcome you into a new reality or mind set.

On the spiritual level, initiations can be transmitted in dozen of ways.

Energy streams are alive beyond people and boundaries.

They follow their own path of expansion.

No one has all the answers.

The path of human evolution is always open and moving forward.

Every time a new drop of life force manifests itself, it is a new initiation for the planet and humankind.

Some steps are big. Some are small.

Each one of these steps has its own value.

A new initiation is the awakening of a new connection in your being.

It is the waking up of a new life force.

Self realization is exactly what is meant by these two words: the realization of the self.

Before self realization, the human being is divided in two entities.

On one side there is the worldly perception of human existence. On the other side, there is the invisible, energies, life force.

Self realization means uniting the spirit with the personality.

When this unification takes place, life suddenly takes a new dimension.

The perceptions are shifted and individuals can see themselves in the vaster context of larger human and planetary evolution.

Can I ask you a few questions?

• What does the expression "life force" mean to you?

• If you wanted to get more life force, what would you do?

• Where would you find it?

• How would an increase of life force impact on your life?

• Would it make you more happy?

• How would others feel about it?

Life force is a concept which exists in all spiritual traditions:

It is Shekinah for the Jews. It is Shakti in India. It is the Holly Spirit for the Christians. In Arabic, I heard the term Sakina (I would need to confirm that one)

Anyway, here is how you write this term Shakti in Sanskrit:

SHAKTI

Life force

---

If you want to connect with your life force and don't know where to start, here are 2 simple techniques:

• Focus on your breathing. Your breathing is the most direct connection to your life force. Symbolically, when your breathe, you connect with a "universal" air. It's like connecting with an infinite source of energy. We do that all the time naturally of course. We simply tend to forget that it's there: a gift

• Write this calligraphy in Sanskrit:

Words are powerful.

Magic essences.

Calligraphies are direct way of invoking energies in us.

When you write the term Shakti, you are actually invoking that reality in you.

Why use Sanskrit?

We'll come to that another day.

We can easily see that there are various types of knowledge.

Here are some examples:

Inklings and intuitions

Convictions, beliefs

Proven facts

When talking about knowledge we tend to value the proven facts. The rest is usually discarded as vague and unsubstantial.

In the spiritual field proven facts are rare. There is still no scientific instrument able to measure the size of a chakra for instance. Everything we know about levels of consciousness, the spirit or human destiny comes from inner experience, intuitive perceptions, or transmitted teachings.

Working with a scientific approach based on physical measurements, parameters or facts simply does not work on the spiritual level. Most of what we "see" or perceive from the inner worlds has never been measured in a scientific way.

So what are our tools? Logic still works of course. Common sense is essential as well. But most of all, our real tools are our feelings and intuition.

Feelings and intuition are very powerful and our best allies in this inner exploration. These mind skills can be developed greatly, a bit in the same way as our physical senses can gain in refinement and substance.

Taking the line of exploring the physical facts can be seen as a lost cause.

Entering into polemic discussions is usually counterproductive. We have to accept the fact that at this stage, there are many truths as there are spiritual experiences. If some beliefs, intuitions, inklings or spiritual models are not 100% correct, they might still provide a mind frame which can be used for the time being.

As Djwhal Khul puts it, "simply use what you need and discard what you don't need...".

Simply remember that this is the mind frame in which we evolve in the spiritual field. Spiritual knowledge is not based on measured proven facts. Spiritual knowledge could be called as well "touch knowledge" where you integrate or reject inklings by the way they impact on the surface of your mind.

Telepathy is the invisible communication happening between any living forms. This is a large definition.

Usually this definition is limited to something more specific: "Telepathy is the invisible communication happening between two human beings."

The word telepathy comes from ancient Greek: tele=distant , pathos=feeling

Labels: articles, concepts, questions, telepathy

I'm not truly engaging myself in "definition discussions" about what is right or wrong, or what is the truth... I simply feel it is a waste of your time and your precious energy.

I engage into this exercise myself when I need to, but won't try to convince anyone about my opinions or models.

They are partial no matter what.

I can use these models sometimes when someone needs them within the coaching context for instance.

It seems to give a mind frame to what we do together.

Instead of looking at truth like a static architecture made of words, I perceive truth as something which is beyond the human mind.

The human mind puts things in words. The human mind is a filter which interprets reality. No matter how evolved, our mind and sensory perceptions will only reveal a glimpse of that absolute reality.

Instead of looking for THE absolute truth I am actually quite happy to simply find some temporary concepts which help me along the line.

I believe that as you are reading these lines you might be thinking "maybe yes, maybe not...", "I'm not sure I agree here..." , etc.

And you know what? It's not just fine, it is great! Difference of opinions is what creates life's diversity. It would be terrible if we were actually all thinking the same all the time. It would be the end of creation! I enjoy so much the rise of ideas, images, impressions which might be true today and gone tomorrow.

Manifestation is impermanent. What remains is formless, like an infinite potential of life force, raw energy ready to take temporary forms.

In this mind space, I feel totally free... for now...

Here are key aspects of manifestation:

• Birth

• Life

• Death

Symbolically death is renewal. It is the end but as well the starting point of the next step.

Renewal means as well transformation. Creation functions with such cycle. It is present in all aspect of our lives.

Here is how these 3 aspects are expressed in the Hindu trilogy.

Krishna and Rama are two manifestations of Vishnu. The cosmic dancer (Nataraja) which you find represented as a dancer within a circle is one of the names for Shiva. It expresses this cycle of renewal and transformation.

How does this impact on your life?

It's simple: awareness. Staying awake and simply aware that life has it's own laws. As human beings we are part of a vast cycle of manifestation.

Being aware of the forces at work can make your life easier, specially if you have the desire to master your existence.

Use the winds of existence. Go with the flow. Using your will power only is not enough.

Enjoy!
