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.

Yoga is the state of Self Realization. Yoga means this internal union where the limits of the personality and individual mind are broken up. This opening is an invasion of bliss and inner happiness. It is the awareness of the universal life force.

Yoga does not seem to happen by itself. Why not?

The natural human instincts polarize human life towards individuality. This sense of individuality is what creates a division between our being and a larger field of life force.

This sense of individuality supports our survival instinct. Our minds are programmed to perceive life through our own individual eyes. It is this perception which guarantees our survival as individuals.

It is because we identify ourselves with a personality and a physical body that we do everything we can to sustain, support our individual life. Most of human activities, instinctual reactions, mind processes and emotions are linked with the way we relate to our surroundings and to people around us.

This sense of individuality is one of the sustaining pillars of society. Without it, we probably would not care much about building a solid house or making a living. Once we touch on the infinite human potential, the unified mind which sustains all of humankind, the usual human priorities are simply dropped.

One world, different plans

Different aspects of human life evolve towards different goals. While we reach to space exploration, we are still dealing with basics of human nature like survival drive, competition, emotions, etc. We stretch our human minds between various realities, various purposes.

The way our mind is programmed to survive in the wild is very different than the way we are programmed when we find ourselves walking on the moon.

The spiritual orientation of a yogi will create a mind dynamism with certain rules, laws, reflexes, priorities, etc.

While we aim for a certain goal, we are still dealing with resistances. This resistances are related with conflicting interests. When yogis decide to retire to the high Himalayan mountains, they might leave behind a life which still wants them or needs them: a family life, a normal profession, etc. Wiping out all these years of "social programming" can eventually happen but as long as the threads of the past are still active, the mind of the yogi might still struggle for the ultimate self realization and spiritual "reprogramming".

There are many human pathways, evolution lines. The yogic approach is just one amongst many ways of being alive.

What is the best?

What society needs is simple: various individuals focused on various goals. While a yogi might be dealing with certain aspects of human development, a share holder in an office is busy with another aspect of creation.

This combination of goals and approaches is what keeps society alive. Without this diversity of goals, desires and priorities, society would just collapse.

Overcoming gravity...

Focusing on spiritual practices feels sometimes like trying to overcome gravity. There is this pull, this natural equilibrium of our minds, the place where we go back when we simply let it all go. When we try to build up some form of expanded awareness, we are actually overcoming the resistances from our environment and surroundings. These have a natural vibration and by building up spiritual awareness we are shifting the very balance or equilibrium which was already established.

This "setting in motion" process stirs our human nature and shifts the energy base on which we function.

What are the consequences?

Anything which can stabilize your spiritual development should be used. This is why ideas and concepts are usually needed along the spiritual path. Ideas give a mind frame to function with.

Techniques, approaches, a support network are useful as well. Empowering your spiritual quest is a priority. Any tools which stabilize the path are welcome. Why? Because it is only when we use all our possible resources that we have a chance to succeed in what we are tying to reach.

You decide for yourself.



What is the link between spiritual, business or relationship coaching?

Coaching is the vehicle. Relationships, business or spiritual development are the coaching areas or the targets. They are the destination or the context in which you want coaching to happen.

These directions are not exclusive. You always decide on what area you would like to focus. For instance if business is your priority at a given moment, that's what we will focus on.

Being coached on spiritual development?

Yes, it is possible.

At this stage there are about 10 great life coaching areas.

Spiritual development is one of them.

We could spend days discussing or defining what spiritual coaching is, but we won't go there.

To keep it light, let's simply use our intuition and common sense.

Anyway, today's message is about the mystery of life.

It is about cosmic intelligence and universal identity.

Spiritual development coaching stays centered on you.

It stays clear and 100% ethical.

Keywords: freedom, respect and openness.

Enjoy!

Meditation is very instinctual and natural.

The goal is not to force your mind into something artificial.

It is rather to connect with a natural way of being and expressing this one step further.

If you want to find a greater sense of peace and inner stillness, start with a simple breathing technique.

Follow your natural breathing cycle and observe the air flowing in and out of your body.

Relax.

No tension.

Natural and easy.

It is a pleasurable practice.

You have two ways of approaching such practices:

· The first one is to explore all this by yourself.

· The second one is to consciously connect with a source of inspiration, teacher, master, teaching, tradition, etc.

There are dozens of systems of meditation.

Usually meditation is a set of practices within a much vaster mind set, spirit or energy reality.

Again, you can explore all that as "autodidact" and recreate your own spiritual system or you can simply connect with an existing stream and learn from it.

The second option offers you of course more support and guidance.

If you prefer the first option and go "solo", you will certainly get results and in a way reinvent these techniques in your own unique way.

The long term goal is to expand your awareness and connect with deeper layers of your being and your consciousness.

Once you master this breathing technique, you can ad focus on one of the chakras. Usually the third eye (centre of your forehead) or the heart chakra (middle of the chest) are the easiest and most powerful gateways.

Simply focus on one of these spots.

Once you master the breathing technique and one pointedness on one of your chakras, you can ad a mantra (sacred formula).

The simplest mantra is "Om".

You simply sound it in your third eye or heart.

The "Om" sound expresses the unity of all things.

When you sound this word internally, you invoke your unity with the cosmos.

It is like focusing on your universal identity and inviting this reality in your being.

When you start, the best is to have short meditations (5 minutes).

Don't focus on the discipline aspect of it, rather the flow and pleasure you get from it.

Concentrate for a few minutes and then, let go.

You will notice that if you practice this regularly (once or twice a day over a period of a month), you will connect with a profound sense of peace and harmony.

You will naturally energize your mind and bring clarity to your thoughts and emotions.

Don't try to convince or influence anyone else in these early stages.

Focus on developing the practice for yourself until your master it.

The desire to mediate is like a gentle stream of energy.

It guides you and inspires you in a very subtle way.

If you rationalize too much or engage in philosophical debates about it (especially in these early stages) you might miss the point and loose your focus.

Stay centered on the practice itself. This is the best way to get results and to instruct your mind.

What to expect?

Most of the times, it's nothing spectacular.

You simply notice a slight change in the "color" of your emotions and clarity in your mind.

You feel brighter inside and slightly happier.

These are the "visible" effects of your meditation.

However, deep inside, a more profound transformation is taking place, always.

Even if you are unaware of it, as soon as you start meditating, your mind vibration shifts.

Transformation starts taking place instantly.

What is this transformation?

It is the alignment of your being with a much vaster reality.

You can call it universal consciousness.

It is like synchronizing your life with the vaster stream of manifestation.

This is why it feels like a new connection.

You break through layers of isolation and simply discover a new absolute sense of unity.

It changes your life forever!

What happens in your mind is a reflection of what happens in your life.

If your life is very active, stressful and hectic, naturally this reflects in your mind and creates a flow of ongoing thoughts.

Thoughts are okay, but when they come in the form of endless worries, doubts and fears, you want of course to learn to still the mind and bring some peace in the inner levels.

There are two conflicting directions here:

· The outer reality forces you to be active.

It stimulates you to respond to stress and actually feed it even more by setting up goals, targets and competing in the business world for instance.

These external pressures are very real. For instance, you are trained to compete from a very young age.

That's okay!

It is one of the key driving forces in society and pushes you to perform better in life.

So basically, these external pressures are positive forces because they stimulate you to look deeper in yourself and develop better skills.

This can happen in your professional field, in your love life, or any other aspect of your existence.

So, this is clear: your life is usually very active.

· The second direction is about wanting to find peace.

This is not a “worldly” target.

It has to do with your spiritual development.

When you focus on meditating, you set up yourself on a path of inner discovery and self realization. Sometimes, these goals enter in conflict with external or worldly priorities.

Now, your mind is like a screen: the thoughts and emotions which are projected on it are simply a reflection of what goes on in your life.

If you want to quiet these thoughts (these reflections), you want to quiet their source: your life!

Thoughts and emotions are waves on the surface of your mind. They are a simple reflection.

Trying to mask them is like trying to mask the reflection of a mountain on the water.

The best way to quiet your thoughts is to quiet your life and all its activity.

You want to tackle the source, not the reflection.

Meditation gives you clarity on what is truly happening in your life.

If your mind is very active, this means that many aspects of your existence require your attention.

Thoughts and emotions are like elemental forms which reflect this outer activity in your life.

So, what to do?

Suppose that you want to meditate and your mind is very active. You simply can't concentrate.

What can you do about it?

Can you still bring peace in your mind while there is all this activity going on with your physical existence?

In most cases, if you want to succeed with mediation, you need to combine external action with spiritual practice.

Focusing on your inner reality only is not enough.

When your mind is very active, it means that your life is calling for attention.

What kind of attention? Harmonization.

If you face this challenge, it is better to shorten your meditations and find out exactly what you thoughts are telling you.

Where are these thoughts coming from?

What are they saying?

When you listen, you give attention and this naturally quiets the mind.

If the story these thoughts are telling you are none of your concern, then you have to teach your mind something new.

Suppose for instance that you worry a lot about something which is out of your hands.

These thoughts are an invasion of your inner space.

To get rid of unwanted thoughts, you need extra power.

You realize that being able to quiet unwanted thoughts has to do with mind mastery.

The long term goal is to get to work in total partnership with your mind. Your mind is your greatest ally. It is your tool. And you are its master

When you meditate, you use your taming power.

If your mind stays too active, it is either that your taming force is not strong enough or that your technique or approach is not adapted.

Of course there is a third possibility that we discussed in the beginning of this chapter which says that an aspect of your life truly needs attention.

Thoughts and emotions are simply the way your spirit tells you to attend to an aspect of your life.

It tells you that something is being created and that your attention or energy is needed.

The best strategy to deal with this spiritual challenge is not to ignore the thoughts and emotions which come to your mind; it is to listen to them and identify where they come from.

Simply trying to suppress them without listening usually creates an inner conflict which is the situation in which many seekers get trapped.

If this is the situation you are in, you usually try to force yourself into a rigid discipline and don't seem to progress.

If this is your case, try listening instead. You'll be amazed of what happens when you do.

This would definitely be the first step.

The goal of meditation is to synchronize our mind with a vaster source of intelligence. A meditation can be tuned towards peace. It can be tuned towards silence. It can as well be tuned towards rajasic activity (excited mind state).

Different activities? Yes, because there are various types of energy sources. Meditation is a telepathic connection.

Meditation means focusing internally to create this synchronicity, so that a consciousness "bridge" can be created between our mind and a larger field of consciousness.

What is that larger field? There are various fields of consciousness which can play the role of "source". Here is an example: If a spiritual tradition has been using a specific mantra (sound formula) for many centuries, this vibration is embedded in the collective human consciousness. Focusing on that mantra will create a telepathic link with that source and open a field of consciousness to the meditator. This specific field of consciousness is being maintained in the physical level by all the people practicing this very specific mantra.

A mantra is not the only way to connect. Take a Zen tradition for instance. The repetition of movements in the tea ceremony will create an alignment with that specific tradition. In that case, it is not a mantra which is being used, it is a series of gestures as well as "mind focus" which are being applied.

Most human activities have a similar type of goal: invoking beauty and refinement when playing music for instance. Beauty and refinement are projected as an emotional perception in our mind. The music reflects inside ourselves in waves of subtle feelings. A "trained" ear will have the ability to create a vaster diversity of impressions with a classical melody.

This reverberation of the sound in our mind can be seen as a meditation process as well. In a way, the larger definition of meditation encompasses any manifestation of life force in our being. In that case, we can use the terms of "increased awareness" rather than concentration. For many the sound itself is a meditation trigger which brings our mind to a state of trance, inner peace or profound harmony.

So what is the difference between a meditative activity and let's say, a worldly activity? In essence, there is no difference. All activities are a manifestation of life force, always. This life force can be called our spirit. Anything is meditation when looked at with this understanding in mind.

Some activities though might have a greater "physical" or "practical" focus and it is not always easy to realize the element of magic in a practical action. Magic is always there though! The "miracle" of life is always present, in every one of our movements.

We can say that as we live, we bring our spirit into manifestation. Life is always magical!

The realms of the invisible are vast. We are far from having discovered their true extension at this stage. We know there are some "intelligent entities" like for instance the "collective unconscious" defined by psychoanalysts. Where is that field of consciousness located? How does it function? How does it evolve? All these questions have never been clearly answered from a modern perspective. Still this concept was already discovered many years ago.

If reason is not guiding us here, intuition is. Intuition is a magical tool, which gives us glimpses of imperceptible knowledge. Waking up in the middle of the night with a sudden "funny" idea is certainly not an input from our reasoning mind. The birth process of that idea gives us precisely a clue of what happens when meditating.

Meditation is a way of tuning our mind. The reality or consciousness we are tuning into is simply a vaster field, a vaster reality than our own. What is this vaster field of consciousness? Is it human? superhuman? personified? Is it a simple static invisible network or energies? Is it existing only on this planet? only in human beings? Can animals connect with it? Many questions can be asked.

I might have vague feelings, impressions about these questions. I feel though that these answers are only my own beliefs, related with my own experiences. I feel it is up to anyone to find their own answers by experience. I don't think that right now we can describe all that with one single truth. I believe no rational words can at this stage describe or explain the vastness of what we are touching here.

Any belief or knowledge of the invisible is at this stage based on experience. This experience is different for everyone. I believe that it is better to leave all the doors open rather than trying to rationalize our understanding of who we are deep inside.

I don't think that what we call "Truth" can be put in simple words. Words are the way our mental abilities interpret reality. Beyond words, we simply find something vaster which we could call "the vision of Reality". Beyond the filter of human perception is something even vaster which can't be limited to any human definition.

This is the context in which we use words. It is good to remember that words possess only a limited power when describing reality. We talk about words but in fact it is the same for any form of human perception. The human mind is a filter which usually only perceives glimpses or parts of reality at a time.

The way to grow in that is by experimenting, trying, exploring. Infinite sources of knowledge, wisdom and introspective approaches are already available in many traditions around the world. These traditions offer valuable glimpses of knowledge as well as techniques and approaches. Analyzing with the "head" is usually not enough. Reason and fact analysis are by far not the best tools in this exploration. Our intuitive senses are much more powerful here. They can be greatly refined by practice, expanded awareness, inner gaze, etc.

The concentration process of meditation builds up energy.

Concentrating on the third eye for instance creates a link with an invisible network of energies which by mimetic behavior create a flow of energy between the spirit and the mind.

Meditation can as well be seen as a form of training. A training for the mind in which the life force is being strengthened.

Where does that energy input come from?

Here are a few concepts:

Energy comes from Shamballa or another invisible vast energy body.

Energy is being taken from other parts of the peronal mind and brought to the area of concentration.

Energy is being generated by an inner dynamic process. The body, mind and spirit becomes a dynamo.

Energy is being generated by connecting with an invisible network of energies.

Let's take the example of body training. When we use a muscle, there is a natural concentration of life force being brought to that muscle. If the exercise is repeated, the muscle will grow, expand, be cleared, etc.

Meditation is a concentration of energy being given to the etheric body. This is where the key is.

If it was just a thought, it would be kept within the mind circulation and stay a mental or emotional process.

But meditation is something more than that. This concentration of energy brings life in an area of the person where life is not usually coming.

The usual daily circulation of mental processes simply creates a frame in the mental and emotional body which does not naturally bring fresh energy to the chakras.

Why do we focus on the etheric body? Because this is a space or a part of our being which incredibly expands as we rise to new spiritual dimensions.

The etheric body is usually poorly energized in a human being.

When meditation occurs (specially in the form of concentration...), a certain area of the etheric body will be energized. If the focus is on the third eye for instance, energy will be concentrated in that area.

The whole point is to train the abilities of that specific chakra.

So, what is a chakra?

Chakras are etheric organs. They are our sensatory organs on the etheric level. They are as well connected with both our physical body and our mind body.

Most of what impacts on the chakras will create and emotional or mental reaction. Even though the chakra itself is an etheric organ, most of what happens in a chakra reflects on emotions and thoughts.

The situation is the same as with physical senses. A beautiful smell creates joy, pleasure. These are emotions. The vision of an architecture will generate series of thoughts, ideas about the way space is used, the material's qualities, or the esthetic balance.



Why isn't all that common knowledge?

The etheric body is simply not the main focus of human evolution right now. It could be in the future though. Take for instance the awakening of medical science and anatomy. Knowledge of anatomy became common only recently (a few hundred years ago!!). Before that, all our organs were functioning. We simply did not know much about them. The awakening of a new stream of curiosity, linked with technological advances allowed this incredible breakthrough.

At this stage, many people already heard terms like "aura" or "etheric substance", but somehow, the tools to systematically explore what is behind these terms are not yet fully available. In that field, what is known is based on beliefs or inner experience rather than scientific proof.

When focusing on our etheric reality, we actually focus on the next step of human evolution. It does not mean that the rest of our physical reality disappears, it means that we learn to be active in both realities at the same time.

Take a child for instance. The first thoughts in his mind can feel like an incredible opening. As children, we learn to structure our thinking abilities. We learn logical patterns. We develop our emotional potentials. The awakening of our etheric potential could follow a similar path of evolution.

It's only when we secure our activity on the physical level that we are ready to evolve into this new etheric dimension. We are talking here about the human race, not individuals.

An individual can focus its development on spiritual awareness, expansion of consciousness. We can do that before "completing" our full mental or emotional potential.

As a human race, things are different. The physical base of society needs to be fully secured before doors start opening more widely on the etheric level.

The physical based activity of human life can be seen as a training ground. During that time, ways to function together, respect each other space, develop healthy boundaries and respect of all human life form are being developed in human consciousness. The collective consciousness is being built in a way which allows humankind to flourish healthily and in accordance with evolution lines.

With the opening of the etheric awareness comes greater responsibility. Imagine again a baby crawling on the carpet. In the moment they learn how to stand up, a new set of boundaries have to be set up so that the "Chinese vase" on the shelf does not become a thousand pieces "Chinese puzzle".

This education process is what humankind is going through. We are learning by experience about the good or bad consequences of our behaviors. We perfect ourselves, step by step, aiming for some form of stability and harmony.

The vision of what is beyond these physical limits can be quite challenging. If we were confronted all at once with the reality of what is behind the scene, it could simply be too much. So, we get a few glimpses at a time. The window of our consciousness periodically perceives some greater vision.

New mental models are being built which express the perception of this inner reality.

Meditation is this narrow window into these inner worlds. It allows us to integrate the vision of what we can be. At this stage, we can see meditation as a training tool, as a strengthening of our inner potentials.

The number one mistake you can do with spiritual development is to delegate your power.

You are born with the right to choose for yourself and decide where you want to go.

As soon as you connect with spiritual realities, your life can be taken over.

It does not need to be that way.

Your destiny is unique.

Your path of evolution is the sum of all your potentials.

In a life time, you will manifest a given stream of action and development.

If you want to gain mastery of your own destiny and evolution, simply dare to express your power and stay in control of your life.

This is the number one step.

As long as you stay in charge, you are fine.

The next step is to connect with your line of evolution.

You can do this by focusing on a third eye meditation technique.

This will connect you with your own unique direction.

Opening your third eye means connecting with your spirit.

The moment you use this meditation technique it opens a world of realizations straight away.

It is a connecting step.

It is a unifying step.

You basically open the full network of your life’s potentials.

It is like standing in front of your life’s map.

You still have choices to make but you become totally aware of the different directions and evolution avenues you have access to.

Labels: articles, challenges, long term evolution, questions

You can evolve spiritually and feel like you are in control of your life.

You don’t need to renounce anything or surrender your will to any authority.

Your path of evolution is a path of mastery and you are the one in charge.

Your controlling power is an instinct.

The tendency is often to try to control other people’s lives, events or happening which are out of reach.

As soon as you project control out, you loose actually ground and connection with what you truly own: yourself.

The right you are given from birth is the power to control what is yours: you mind, actions, thoughts, emotions, behaviors, attitudes, personal space, belongings and time frame.

This is what you own.

Now, the moment you project power and control on someone else’s life, you literally abuse power.

The only thing you have the right to control is your life. No one else’s.

If you want to feel a sense of power and control over your life, it is very simple: respect other’s autonomy and they will respect yours.

You have a reserve of energy. If you project it out in all directions, you simply miss your target.

The goal is to use your controlling power wisely and not project it in directions which go against someone else’s right of self determination.

The moment you know how to use power wisely, you are given more of it automatically.

You need however to respect basic rules of human evolution.

These rules are maintained by vase networks and hierarchies of spiritual energies.

It is this network of intelligent energies which sustains society and civilizations.

The goal is to use your power wisely and work with the forces of evolution rather than against them.

Human evolution is like a river.

You can learn to go with the flow and own your personal life while working in perfect harmony and synergy with the forces around you.

This skill is the key for increasing your level of power, awareness and consciousness.

The moment you prove that you can use your power wisely in a constructive way, more of it is naturally given to you.

Bliss is unity.

Awareness is the opening of your inner vision.

One of the first targets of your spiritual development is to dissolve any sense of division.

You reconnect with an infinite source of energy, the vast sea of spiritual awareness.

Bliss is simply the way your emotions respond when the doors open up.

Bliss is something your perceive on your mind and emotional level.

It is related with a an inner opening, the removal of inner veils.

Inner vision happens in a similar way.

Awareness is simply the permanent connection between your being and the invisible reality.

You perceive the underlying dynamics behinds action and manifestation.

You are aware because you are connected.

Any action, practice which connects you with your spiritual or universal identity creates bliss to a certain extent.

Conscious action is an art practiced within the Kriya Yoga stream.

You perform key actions like breathing techniques, meditation, postures and more and through your action invoke a profound connection with the sea of universal life force.

It is like going back to the source.

When your consciousness is trapped in material goals, money and material satisfaction is what you attract.

These are targets which are as valuable as any “so called” spiritual targets.

The fact that you can see with your eyes the results of your actions does not mean that it has no value.

The art of making money or creating anything on this planet is still an invocation of life force into your existence.

It is a creative act no matter what.

What shifts is the reward or the result of your action.

If you invest your energy and time into invoking your spirit and creating a bridge of consciousness with your inner being, then this is what you will get when you succeed.

Spiritual targets are simply different than material targets.

Both are valuable and both have a reason to exist on this planet.

What matters is what you want and what you feel excited and thrilled about.

If you being is attuned with some form of inner quest, than you have the right to pursue these goals because it is what you want.

You are free.

If you prefer heading for material wealth, it is your choice and it is not less valuable.

You can be creative within that process and understand the subtle dynamics of life by doing so.

There is no hierarchy and separation between what is material and what is not.

At the end, everything is spiritual.

No matter what you touch, do or think, you are always manifesting a stream of life force. This stream of life force expresses your connection with your spirit.

You are connected all the time.

Sometimes, you decide to consciously open your eyes to it and sometimes, you simply focus on something else.

It is fine.

Any action can be performed with awareness.

It is not just about meditation or spiritual practices.

You cook, work, play music, date or train with awareness.

There is no place for elitist divisions any more.

Every target has its own value and you are free to choose for what you feel suits you best.
Tap into your sense of infinite happiness

The moment you feel connected, you are happy.

Happiness is a mind state.

It expresses the fact that inner conflicts and frictions have been removed.

To be happy, you need to be a frictionless being.

You want to be a problem free zone or at least know how to solve challenges.

Tension is the result from clashes of energy.

You feel unhappy when you feel you have no control or are disconnected.

The moment life force flows through your being you radiate happiness.

How does life force flow through your being?

Here are different ways of stimulating the flow of life force in you:

· Connecting with your own spirit through meditation or spiritual practices

· Anything which is creative

· Relating to others. As soon as two people are with each other, life force starts flowing between them. This exchange of life force generates happiness. It creates a sense of connection.

· Challenging yourself. For instance if you train your body or do some sports, you invoke the flow of energy in your body. This makes you feel alive.

· Etc.

You realize that any action, thought, emotion or feeling can generate a sense of happiness.

The moment you manifest, you create.

Unhappiness comes from tensions and conflicting energies. It is the result of a blockage of energy in any aspect of your system.

Spiritual synergy is your ability to go with the flow of the forces of nature rather than against them.

You can do that with people, with nature, with society, with what you create or with your actions.

What you think can be embedded with a profound sense of synchronicity.

It simply feels right.

This is the target for our modern age.

Synchronicity is the ability to live together in harmony in a creative way.

Conflict or challenges won’t disappear of course but the way you solve them takes care of all forces and parties involved.

No one needs to loose!

This is the real power you and I can tap into right now.

Anyone who practices synergy in any context manifests a profound sense of respect and harmony.

It doesn’t have to be dull or boring. Actually, it is the total opposite.

The moment you focus on the larger picture and realize what happens when you truly join forces, you see a whole new world of potentials opening up.

Take an organization for instance. The amount of energy which is usually spent in dealing with internal political conflicts can be huge.

Imagine what happens the moment the organizational becomes frictionless and all the participants learn how to truly collaborate with each other.

This is not an utopist dream.

It is happening right now in many organizations around the world.

The idea of synergy already permeates the business world.

All that is needed now is for it to fully touch all areas of society.

The way synergy is used is still embryonic in a way.

The full potential of this stream can unfold in your life as you learn to master the synergy skills.

What are these skills?

It is first your ability to focus on win-win in any situation in life.

The second step is to show total respect for other people’s opinions and ideas.

The third step is to dare to step into someone else’s shoes and see the world from their perspective.

These are only some ideas and there is so much more of course.

The basic idea behind synergy is that every time someone loses, it’s the totality of humankind who loses.

You don’t have to take responsibility for someone else’s actions but you can make sure that your actions are in harmony with the larger scheme and development of things on this planet.

This is the basic idea behind spiritual synergy

Connection! Connection is what makes the difference.

Connected with what? Connected with the lines of inspiration which tune into the long term evolution of the planet.

You can be isolated in a small sphere and this will limit your consciousness. On the other hand you can be open to dimensions which go far beyond your personality and this will connect you with your own universal identity.

If your daily concerns evolve around your own individual survival, individual comfort, individual thoughts, this is where your consciousness will be: on the level of your personality.

If now you shift your awareness and you focus on something which goes beyond your usual personal limits, then you connect with your spiritual intelligence.

Where to start?

The net is a good place to start. Many teachings, sacred scriptures will give you hints about your own cosmic evolution.

---

What stops you?

Fear of opening up to new realities. Could be pride. Could be as well the fear of loosing control.

These fears are real. They can be real warning signs you should listen to or simply be irrational blockages which stop your from moving forward. Take steps carefully and listen with discrimination.

Follow your instinct and intuition and get in touch with people and teachings which can truly take you one step further.

Somewhere along the line, you need to accept the fact that your present limits are not your real limits. New landscapes of knowledge and awareness can be discovered.

As you get in touch with new sources of inspiration in your life, it is important to integrate all that in your daily life. Don't loose touch with reality. Keep your personal foundation and stay master of your life and own evolution.

You are the most important person in your life. Developing your spiritual intelligence means giving yourself the tools and skills to be active and productive in a creative way.

It is both an inner and outer exploration of your consciousness.

A simple technique

Calligraphies are a powerful ways of invoking new realities.

Sanat Kumara could be seen as the archetype of cosmic evolution. Invoking this concept, name or idea will naturally wake up that reality in you. It's a very simple technique and all you have to do is write this name in its sanskrit calligraphic form

Sanat Kumara

To tell you the truth, the way this intelligence or reality is usually portrayed is somehow childish.

The intelligence, force or power behind that name goes far beyond the picture of a blond handsome prince traveling across space.

If you want to connect with your own "cosmic identity", this is a good place to start. Simply write down this calligraphy. It is an invocation of your universal awareness which is very similar to the idea of spiritual intelligence.

How does it work? words are full of power. The term "happiness" for instance wakes up feelings and impressions associated with happiness itself. More about sanskrit calligraphy

How do you use it? You can "recall" that energy or idea whenever you need to. Writing it down will strengthen your personal foundation and empower the universal identity in you. It's okay to write it down several times a day. Don't discard the writings. Keep them in your personal environment as this will reflect on your mind as well.

It simply gives you a core of energy which strengthens your mind foundation.

Now, my task is not to convince you. This is given to you because you might want it and need it. If you feel, it's not for you, no problem, simply walk away and look for something else that will be a better match for you.

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.

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.

Labels: articles, concepts, enlightenment, questions

The true question you can ask yourself is this one:

Suppose you decide to try meditation on your own and discover a couple of techniques, where do you think these techniques come from?

Did you invent them?

If yes, what was the force inspiring you?

Yes! You can recreate your own system and you can be totally successful and fulfilled with that.

Suppose you want to climb a summit, you can use the experience of others or try it on your own without any help.

When you join a meditation class, you enter into an existing system and feel support and ideas.

If you feel limited by what you get and prefer trying it on your own, it works as well.

There is a source of infinite wisdom and teaching which is everywhere on the planet in the form of an invisible network.

There are such things as "invisible teaching centers" or "inner schools".

Sometimes, these inner schools or systems are manifested in the form of an existing spiritual center somewhere.

There are however dozens of teachings you will come across inwardly which are not written in any book.

You can tap into these by exploring them on your own.

It is not a formed system. It is rather a stream of inspiration you can tap into.

Don't look out there for it.

Look inside in the core of your instincts and intuition

Of course, it is easier to hear a message when someone speaks it out in front of you.

If you try to feel or tap into your instinctual power to reinvent these techniques, it might simply take a bit longer.

You are free!

All doors are open!

If you feel limited within an existing system, go solo, explore and create your own.

If you feel you run out of ideas or inspiration, you can always go for a class or connect with an existing system or teaching to find a "missing link".

If you tune into your inner source of inspiration and trust your "spiritual instinct", you can get results.

It is your choice! It is your call!

All doors are opened!

The astral world is the dimension of your emotions and dreams.

Your astral body is a multidimensional energy reality which connects you with your past, present and future.

Your astral body is the sum of all your emotions, feelings and dreams from your past present and future.

Imagine an energy body projecting itself into time and space.

The moment someone thinks of you or expresses an emotion towards you, it happens within your astral body.

If you send a letter to someone on the other side of the planet, they will feel a set of emotions when reading this letter.

This letter is part of your astral and mental body.

This means that the words you did write are a projection of your own emotions.

Take this one step further and imagine now the totality of the emotions you ever had or you ever projected in other people’s minds.

Your astral body contains the total sum of your smiles and other moods. It contains all the movements of your emotions.

Does your past still exist?

Well, suppose you meet an old friend. You will start recalling experiences and a whole set of emotions which felt forgotten and invisible will come back to the surface.

The mind sets and memories are still there, somewhere in the layers of your mind.

You tend to think of objects and realities as three dimensional but in fact, your astral body extends in time as well.

Your rational tools are somehow limited to describe effectively the complexity of the mind.

You can comprehend the anatomical architecture of your body but the mind goes beyond rationalization.

The models we can design for it right now are extremely limited and simplistic simply because the realities we try to describe are much more complex than that.

You can divide the mind in 2 great areas of consciousness: “astral” (dreams and emotions) and “mental” (thoughts and conceptual thinking):

(PICTURE COMING SOON)

This model is freely inspired from various Theosophical sources.

It is a simplified vision of your mind and gives you a model you can refer to when trying to conceptualize the way these realities are inter linked.

Labels: articles, astral body, psychic, questions

Yes, there is a difference between a psychic and spiritual experience!

When you have a psychic experience, you are within the astral reality.

The astral reality is the first layer of consciousness after the physical world.

When you dream, this is where your mind goes.

When you have a profound spiritual realization, you touch on a whole different level of energies:

You are beyond the astral within the causal (upper mental), buddhic or nirvanic planes of consciousness.

What are these planes of consciousness?

They are different levels of existence.

The beings or intelligences you connect with in these various levels rise from elemental beings on the astral level to spiritual masters on the causal plane to vast cosmic beings and avatars in the Buddhic realm.

If you jump to the nirvanic reality, you enter into the realms of Logoic entities like the solar or planetary logos.

All these experiences (psychic and spiritual) are related with the invisible.

Psychic experiences can be spectacular because they go beyond the usual limits of your awareness.

Right now, there is a window opened on the psychic realms.

The science of OBE's (Out of Body Experience) for instance is very complex and many people are actively researching techniques and directions along those lines.

The intentions and energies which sponsor these two directions (psychic and spiritual) have simply a different purpose.

It is like traveling in two different directions.

The field of psychic development can be compared to any other field of life experience. It has its own value and reason to exist.

It is however different from the path of spiritual development. The reason they are sometimes confused is because they both deal with the invisible.

The idea of New Age for instance is highly spiritual.

The worldly expressions of it (crystals, astrology, healing, music, etc) are actually psychic expressions of the original new age impulsion.

In the public's mind these two become one and this creates confusion.

If you make an internet search for "spiritual development", you will come across many psychic topics. You will hear about astral projection, auras and alien abductions where in fact these topics are not key spiritual development topics.

There is lots of confusion around that.

This is why it can be tricky to explore spiritual dimensions on your own: because the first layer you will encounter when trying to meditate is the astral.

If you meditate within a system, you use a "gate" which has already been established in the past.

This gate will take you beyond the astral realms and connect you straight with higher levels of consciousness (causal, buddhic and nirvanic).

Anything which has to do with visions, sounds, and colors is related with an astral experience. Sometimes, these experiences are related with a more profound spiritual experience.

The sounds or visions are only the "visible" part of this experience.

On the causal level, you will have experiences which are related with deep profound understandings and realizations.

You are still in the area where you can "mentalize" your experiences.

Causal means than you perceive the play of energies behind events and actions.

Basically, you perceive the "strings" and energies which organize life around you.

When you enter in the Buddhic realm, you go beyond the cycle of human evolution and reach the level of mastery of human life.

You not only see the dynamics, you are actually able to pull the strings yourself.

The only things you can perceive about nirvana are sensations like absolute bliss and total unification.

You go beyond sensory perceptions and simply merge with an infinite field of energy.

You enter a world beyond thoughts and emotions.

This is truly what is called enlightenment.

It can be a one time experience or a progressive increase of the nirvanic vibration.

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.

A spiritual movement is a living teaching.

When you join, you connect with a community.

This community is a both a supportive environment and a controlling one.

See how it works with your neighbor: they will hale you if you need some extra brown sugar but check you out as well when something unusual happens in your house. This is called social control.

The belonging to a community is always double sided.

You get this sense of connection but you can feel limited as well.

I know dozens of “spiritual seekers” who've truly had it with organizations and movements because they feel constricted in them.

They feel limited within mind sets which do not match what they want.

Literally, they feel disempowered.

The funny thing is that it does not need to be that way.

We are in a place of human evolution where everyone can win: individuals, leaders and organizations.

The number one step spiritual organizations have to take though is accept to evolve.

This is called feed back.

It works in business and definitely works in the spiritual field as well.

We moved beyond the level of autocratic structures.

The human potential is vaster than that.

The problem modern spiritual organizations face is lack of power, vision and skills.

It takes skills, experience and lots of vision to run an organization successfully.

In most cases, this is the limiting factor.

Organizations tend to be divided by internal politics and power fights.

Again, this has nothing to do with spiritual development, it is related with organizational dynamics and the way humans function within these structures.

The funny thing is that while the business world invests millions in creating frictionless teams and developing team spirit, the spiritual environment tends to create organizations which are archaic and very inefficient in the way they function.

The renewal stream has not yet impacted on that level and this very unfortunate.

The consequence is that many precious spiritual teachings can’t be accessed because of the way they are packaged.

An organization can hide itself behind layers of overdone protectionism and totally miss its original purpose: a frictionless vehicle aimed at transmitting a message.

Where do you stand?

Keep on moving until you find what you are looking for.

There are systems and approaches which do give you everything you need without + a sense of total freedom and control over what you want.

These systems do exist and they are totally explored spiritual paths which give you exactly what you want.

For instance, there are many yoga classes you can follow in your local town which require no other commitment than paying a fee for your class and showing up (if you want to).

Spiritual development does not require exclusiveness.

You can express your freedom by tapping into what you want and responding to your unique needs.

You are free!

You can recreate your own unique path because there is an invisible network of forces which does sponsor your every move.

Don’t limit yourself. There is no need to.

Sure, some doors will be closed to you because you don’t make yourself small enough. On the other hand, many more will open up because you show total respects and acceptance for who you are and what you want.

Your spiritual development is your agenda! No one else’s!

What matters the most is that your needs are fulfilled and that you do find what you are looking for.

Don’t transfer your inner authority or control to anyone.

You are the one in charge!

Your kundalini energy is your connection with nature and the planet.

Every living being on the planet is born with a reserve of life force.

It is like a root of energy linking you with the planet.

In the Indian tradition, the kundalini is represented by a snake coiled in your base chakra.

When your kundalini wakes up, it rises through your spine and energizes the various chakras met during its ascension.

The Buddha’s enlightenment is symbolized by the rising of a cobra opening his crown chakra.

There are many more representations of the kundalini energy in various writings and mythologies.

The kundalini is symbolized in many ways. It can be a snake or other kind of reptile like a crocodile. A dragon can as well be seen as a representation of the Kundalini.

A knight taming a dragon is literally a symbol of him taming his own instinctual or animal nature.

In other representations, the kundalini is represented as a lion. It is visible in various Hindu temples as a Yogi taming a roaring lion.

You sometimes see a Yogi meditating on a Tiger skin. This is the same symbolism of the taming of the animal nature.

Here is how you can summarize all this:

Your being contains a source of instinctual energy.

It is the “raw” life force given to you at birth.

The process of evolution on this planet is a process of awakening and refining of the Kundalini energy.

A plant’s kundalini rises until the etheric level (as well called upper physical plane).

An animal kundalini rises until the astral plane (the plane of the emotions and dreams).

A human kundalini naturally rises until the mental plane (level of thoughts and conceptual thinking).

When you consciously wake up your kundalini, you attempt to break through beyond the natural limits of the mental plane and break through the causal (upper mental plane) and the buddhic plane.

After that, you connect with the nirvanic level of existence.

This is why the rising of your kundalini is associated with an enlightenment process.

You literally take your original raw source of kundalini energy and let it rise through the chakras until it pierces through your crown.

This is what is symbolically called enlightenment.

This break through allows the descent of fresh universal energy into your being.

Labels: articles, kundalini, questions

The benefits are infinite.

The goal is to remove any obstacles which stand on the way of the rising of this force.

Taming your kundalini does not mean controlling or limiting it.

It means working with the forces of nature rather than against them.

When this inner source of energy wakes up in you, it is immensely clarifying for the mind and the body.

Your thoughts are clearer.

You reawaken your instinctual nature and this gives you more body energy and vitality.

Labels: articles, kundalini, questions, techniques

Yes, you can.

The process of waking up your kundalini has three key aspects to it:

· Physical awakening

This includes dynamical physical techniques, breathing techniques, etc. Through all this awakening, your connection with nature is vital.

· Meditation

Through meditation you strengthen your mind set and align the newly awakened forces with a profound plan for your evolution. Meditation is part of the taming process. When you meditate, you link your kundalini energy with a new “awakening” force.

· Life style choices

This includes healthy diets, day rhythm choices, harmonious sexual activity, etc.

· Inspiration stream

Many people have walked the path of the kundalini awakening in the past. You can reinvent your own techniques or tune into an existing tradition. This inspiration stream is an inner or outer source of guidance and support. It is an energy sponsor which sustains your steps.
