On Strength!
" Every idea that strengthens you must be taken up and every thought that weakens you must be rejected " - Swami Vivekananda.Every pain that is cause of your suffering must be addressed and healed. Don't expect miracles unless you sit to accept that you are the cause of your pain. Don't expect things to fall in place unless you take the responsibility of healing in your hands.
And once you start healing, don't count the days! Stop asking "already healing since one week/month/X no. of days".
You have been eating for the last 30/40/50 years and more too.....thrice a day plus tea/coffee/aerated drinks in between. Also add fruits, sweets, ice-creams, snacks in between. And yet we never ask "how many more years do I need to eat?" Even as we are having our breakfast we are discussing what and where to eat lunch. As we are having lunch, we plan our dinner. And yet, we don't seem to get vexed of it. Apply the same principle to healing too! As you charge your cell phone, generators day in and day out and never get tired of it, learn to be in sadhan every single day of your life.You owe that to yourself and your life. In spite of having eaten food you fall sick, become weak and grow old. One eventually dies too! And yet we don't question our 'eating'. We don't ask "Why should we eat if we are any how falling sick inspite of eating?"Why eat when we eventually going to die?
Why eat when we will any how become old?"
Then why those questions to 'healing'?
Think about it!
The way you perceive healing is wrong. Not the healing by itself!No one is answerable to you for the results.
Do it or leave it - you receive as per your decision.

Thank you each day is a new unlearning and relearning
A very apt analogy! Only you could have explained it in such simple terms.
From what I understood so far, the way our physical health depends on what we eat, breath, etc., our spiritual well being depends on the attitude we are embracing. We let our ego, judgement, likes, dislikes, values, principles, limited beliefs etc., poison our spiritual and mental body throughout our lives. The insufferable pain that we experience is when this poisoning has reached its limits. The pain usually comes in some form or the other. In our first class you explained how our own thoughts, words and deeds stay in our aura, then come back to our bodies and we feel the pain.
Meditations are a way of allowing the divine energy to enter us and heal us - mentally, physically and spiritually. The amount of healing required depends on the amount of poisoning we have allowed so far (just like the medicines, glucose saline, and blood transfusions we need when we have poisoned our physical bodies).True healing comes when we see a change in our attitudes. We become more loving, more forgiving, and more peaceful.
Furthermore, when we come out of the pain we need to choose to feed our soul with attitudes that nourish it - should try to keep ourselves from going back to the old unyielding ways and continue with sadhan.
I used to notice the difference when I used to miss full body healing even for a day, so I made it a point to do it everyday (which works as regular meals for my soul), and I fill my spare time with other meditations for self and others (similar to snacking).
Thank you for the reminder maam! It keeps me motivated and focused.

Mam, never thought on those lines but how true it is..we sometimes get tired of cooking but never of eating :) thank you for explaining the importance of healing with such simple examples.
