on vaccines and vaccination 

For those who want to make good use of this compulsive situation, here are few tips to use this situation also to our advantage.

Sit in meditation and ask the following questions :

1.What am I afraid of reg. vaccine?

2. Why am I afraid of vaccine?

3. Is my fear based on facts or my imagination?

4. Has reiki healing helped me previously with my health related problems and healed me back to normalcy? Have people called my health as a miracle? If yes, then won't the same techniques help me to go through this time and vaccine too? 

Do the above exercise and only then go to the next part of explanation....

If it is found that we have fear, then what is the one we need to address here? Fear or vaccine? Fear or disease?

If it is fear, don't we need to heal our fear here?

Don't trust the 'mind which is proud of its logical mind'. If you believe that mind's logic you'll suffer the consequences of logical thinking. Beware of such a mind!

Then why are we given mind maam? Good question! Mind is given to us to use logic to remove what is harmful to our way of thinking. And that happens ONLY when we sit and meditate and become masters of our own mind. As long as we are run by our mind, we are its slaves. That mind is harmful to us. It is our ONLY enemy that we need to deal with. Painful Situations and people are just reflections of such a mind!

Befriend your mind with meditation and pranayamam. Then it will take your towards your bliss. It will open doors that will let miracle happen in your life.

And it is this exact mind that is ADAMANT AND ARGUING WITH LOGIC  to stop you from becoming its master! Be aware and be alert of its move. Meditate!

We are the believers of Reiki and healing who have our experiences to support us. Your belief is not based on what I say or based on some book to follow. It is totally based on your experiences and clarity of thought that you have developed over the years. Fall back on that. And now sit to heal the fear with the various techniques known to you/taught to you in various classes. This circumstance in life is here to show us our 'weak link' in our persona and our way of thinking. Let's make our weak link strong. Let's remove the weakness of 'this fear' from our system. Let's sit to heal it. 

Don't ask "how many days should I heal maam?"

You know the answer "Till you are free of that fear!"

If you are bored of your own healing how and why should someone else be interested in making good in your life?

Think about it. The mind that wishes things fall in place on their own in his life and someone else does it for him is a selfish, greedy, lazy person's mind. Even when someone does something for him, he is going to be still dissatisfied saying "but you did XY for her and not to me..."He will only complain, crib, cry and seek pity from others. Are you with such a mind? If yes, heal that first. Address that and then work on next para.....

If no, get up, tighten your belts and heal yourself. Outgrow this fear once and for all! Let strength be your middle name. Learn to be self-reliant. Its great feeling to be respected. Pity is a disgusting substitute for it. Don't fall for it. 

Earn respect by being strong, by outgrowing fear. Healing it is the first step towards being strong. 

You have it in  you. Go for it!

On mind

 

On mind

You are successful or you are a failure – both are the results of your mind.

You are a devil or God incarnate – both the outcome of your mind.

You are sad, desperate, lonely, depressed or you are happy, joyful, surrounded by people who love and respect you – both reflect how you have trained your mind.

You HAVE A mind. You are given a mind. You are given mind so that you can discipline it and make it your genie and work out all the miracles of and in your life.

But sad is his life who is slave to his mind. Anger rests in the mind that is the master of the man. Hatred and desperation for fulfillment of desires is the state of mind that is gone mad.

But the good news is that mind however reckless, useless, devilish it be, it can be trained and brought under the control of the man. And the simplest of all techniques is Meditation.

There are ample reiki techniques to train the mind.

Use them all regularly and become master of your mind.

Use it to achieve all that you dream of.

Use it to be happy, successful and rich in life.

Stop being slave to your mind and its desires.

Rise up, get up and free of your limitations.

Achieve and BE what you are capable of! 

Remember, your outer world is the reflection of your inner world. Heal your inner world and your outer world will change for better. Don't expect miracles to happen in a week or so. It will take time. Have patience and be in sadhan.

Points to sit and think about :

Meditation - what it means and why is it so important especially when a person is so 'proud' of his 'thinking ability'.

Meditate - are you using all your mind's logical ability to argue against it or using your desire to win over your fear, loneliness, sadness and depression?

Meditate - be courageous enough to know self. Be courageous enough to face the truth about your real self. Only one who is courageous enough can actually sit and meditate. One who is addicted to pain, anger, hatred and depression will find umpteen reasons to sit and cry. He will find reasons to run away from meditation. He will not meditate. Leave him alone. 

YOU meditate and be free of your pain. You become free from your circumstances. 

Time you make your mind your friend.

Me, My Guru – on disturbed mind

 Contd....

Me, My Guru – on disturbed mind

We were silent. We were processing her words. We were looking at our actions. When our mind said “My MIL said this” immediately I would jump in to support it with proofs.

When mind said “but how can she behave so?” I would join it and eventually get angry.

My mind would say “but, what about future?” again I would experience fear based on my assumptions. My mind with its questions made me go from ego to fear to pain to suffering. 

It was a vicious circle. It took me on a roller-coaster ride. Once I sat on it, I didn’t get down. It carried me down the gutter. And I suffered – all because I got carried with my mind – not because of what my mother-in-law/kid did. It was not because of my financial insecurity/reason.

Our Guru came back and sat down. Even before she could settle we pounced on her with our questions “Guruji, tell us a technique to stop this chatter”.

Our Guru smiled and said “Do pranayamam. Those of you who can’t for any reason whatsoever – do deep breathing atleast for 15mts. Do anulom vilom (breathing through alternate nostrils) for 15 mts. Then do Bhasrika (where you close your eyes, ears, mouth and push air through nose that sounds like OM).

Meditate! Any meditation is good enough – say atleast for 15mts. Every single time you catch your mind wandering or chattering, draw a symbol, cancel that through and send Reiki for your intention.

On receiving Grace

On receiving Grace

No one is left out of receiving consequences of karma.

So as you are happy when the wrong doer receiver punishment, then also know and accept, you’ll also receive consequences of your karma.

Then, what about Grace?

What about healing?

What’s the use of healing?

Healing doesn’t qualify a person to live a life of ‘adharma’ and get away with it.

Healing has stages to it.

First, you accept the way you’ve lived, acted, said, thought had been wrong and not as per dharma.

Second, which ever area you have been wrong, you’ll stop living the ‘wrong way’ from now.

It is like this – you know by drinking alcohol, aerated drinks* our system gets spoiled and yet you gulp down couple of bottles daily and are surprised that your organs has deteriorated over the years. And you are angry that Reiki didn’t help you?!

It’s like saying I’ll do Reiki and drive a bike at 200 kmph without helmet or brakes especially on a mountain range.

And you are proud of your logic and mind that comes with such arguments and statements to support your behaviour, desire and acts?

*(The great intelligent mind argues: But I don’t even drink tea or coffee maam…..really? That’s how you are processing this example? And you are falling on the logic provided by this mind to justify how you feel or why you feel? )

PS : If you have any other post from this blog related to this topic, give the link to it for all to benefit.

Points to be considered : 

• Are you using your intelligence and mind to justify your desires and actions?
• Are you using your intelligence and mind to find faults in others and their behaviour?
• If answer to one or both of the above questions is yes, then know that 'mind' of yours to be your 'best enemy'.
• You don't need any other curse from outside to traumatise you.
• Your mind is the cause of your suffering and pain.
• Your mind is the creator of your 'cursed destiny'.
• Your mind is the reason why you don't receive 'Grace' from any of these - God/Universe/reiki/guru
• Address your mind and then....
• Stop looking for the fulfillment of your desire. Stop justifying your desire. Start working on your mind! Be smart enough to use your desire, its fulfillment, your pain to know where the 'source' of your problem lies!

On mind games – Assumptions of mind!

“Stupidity” drives us on a path that robs us of our energies. We feel weak – physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. It is this same stupidity that helps us to develop counter-productive qualities like jealousy, low self-esteem, depression, hatred, anger and self-pity.

Isn’t it a wonderful feeling to know that there is a ‘release’ from this stupidity with us!??

All we need to do is stop supporting our ‘asuric qualities’.

Next, start developing qualities that would give us more energy and strength from within. They are qualities like patience, trust, selflessness, calm and being cheerful.

Mastering our senses is the pre-requisite to becoming ‘great’. Work on that!

On mind games – Assumptions of mind!

 

On mind games – Assumptions of mind!

We assume ourselves separate from others. This separateness is the basis of 'maya'. And this separateness causes us to fear for self and protect self from others. We consider everyone threat to our existence, well-being and to our self-esteem. From this assumption stems fear for self. And that gives rise to desire and compulsion for self-preservation. This leads us to attack the person we assume to be ‘threat’ to us! We hurt them. We compete with him. We demean him by fault-finding and calling him names. There is no end to this. As the other too would ‘retort’ against our attack, we say “see, I was right! He is threat to me!”

We conveniently forget that we had started this fight. We end up in a fight unnecessarily. This robs us of our energies and peace of mind. And we assume again that the other is responsible for our suffering.

By the time she sat down most of us were all smiles. The air seemed light. I felt light. It was as if my burden had been removed.

There she – our Guru was just sitting adjusting her saree (Indian attire for women) and sipping water from her glass – and here I felt relieved!

What a shift in energies? How fast was it? And yet she hadn’t done anything for this? Can someone’s presence make such an impact?

She had been telling all along – “your presence carries your energies and that you can work miracles in silence”. And yet we…And today, we saw its meaning and impact! We felt it and it was so obvious!

Wow! Wonder what effect we had on the people we meet and live with?

“So which aspect of mind are we to reflect on today?” our Guru asked with a smile.

“My mother-in-law is so irritating. She’s driving me nuts. How to regain my composure?” asked one.

“My mind chatters non-stop. Help me to stop it. What do I do for that?” asked another.

Pointers in this post : 

"She had been telling all along – “your presence carries your energies and that you can work miracles in silence”. And yet we…And today, we saw its meaning and impact! We felt it and it was so obvious!" - Read the previous lines also. People are always saying "there is so much negativity in the house because of her/him. This answers all those questions. Guru comes and sits (just sits and does nothing else) and yet the tension in the air is cleared. The agitated minds become calm. People feel it all around!!! That is the effect and the possibility of our effect on 'negativity' in the house/ place of residence if we are calm and full of love/affection. Instead of concentrating on how you feel about your m-i-l/s-i-l, spouse, kid, cleanliness, employer, colleagues etc if we are connected to one whom we say we love or care about, then vibe is already good. That spreads in the place you stay. So heal yourself and be calm. So heal your anger, hatred and let that healing give out good vibes in your place of residence....

Me, my Guru – on  heaven and hell

Alexander froze in his place. He looked at the Master realized his folly fell at his feet and sought his forgiveness. His soldiers and ministers were surprised to see this. They never saw Alexander bowing down to anyone, seeking forgiveness and being ashamed of his actions. They were moved seeing tears of regret in his face.

With love in his eyes Master looked at him and said “And this is where heaven is. And this is how you travel from hell to heaven”.

Alexander understood. He fell at his feet and confessed his sin of misbehavior. Maser smiled, lifted him and let him sit beside him. They talked for quite some time. Alexander looked very peaceful and relaxed when he came back to his men. They left for their camps. 

At camp as he got down his horse he declared “We’ll stay in this forest for next one month – may be more. Untie your horses and make necessary arrangements for the stay. He entered his tent.

Some soldiers were angry, agitated, disturbed, and helpless and some even cried.

Others were relieved. They were exhausted and thanked the Master for giving them much needed rest. They celebrated among themselves. They planned a talked among themselves about their way of relaxing and resting. They wanted their horses too to be fended well during these times. They slept peacefully. And they also knew for at least next one month they could sleep peacefully – for sure! They celebrated all this and more!

Soldiers who complained were in hell. They had set their mind on the travel to go in a certain pace. When that was disturbed they became disturbed. They were in hell! 


They knew they had no powers to change the decision. That helplessness angered them. That took them to hell. 

Out of anger that felt helplessness came tears. That desire to hurt someone for having foiled “their plan” found its way in tears. They lived in hell! 

Some picked up fight with others. They thought others were irritating them and fought with them. They created their own hell!

Questions answered : 

• How is our anger related to what we create in life?
• What is the need to heal anger in us?
• How healing anger takes us away from hell and towards heaven?
• How anger and clarity of thought are interrelated?

Points to be understood:

• Where clarity of thought is, anger is not!
• The basis of our anger is expectations and conditions that we have from others and events of life.
• Our mind is our biggest enemy.
• When we win over our mind, there is no greater friend than it.
• Friend or foe - each decides how and what he wants to make of his mind.
• Mind was given to us to be used by us! Don't be a fool and get used by it!
• When we are used by our mind it is called Ignorance!
• When we used our mind we are called Master!
• Master is not one who rules or controls others. Master is one who has control over his own self.

Life tips:  

Always put gas burner in 'sim' mode while cooking. As always when I am cooking and also working on blog posts I tend to forget about cooking and get lost in the blog part. I went to kitchen today to drink water and lo! I noticed that I had put dal in sim mode and it was boiling away to glory. It was just done and I got to put it off. But imagine if I had put it in high mode!?? Moreover cooking tastes best when cooked on low heat....

and fyi this is one of the reiki miracles that I get to enjoy most of my days.....reiki sending me to place where I am supposed to be (like to kitchen here....) and saving my piece of work and other things......
