Dear Meditators
There have been a number of major changes this year. History, as we know it has changed forever. The outcomes from the Pandemic, Bushfires and Floods will rewrite our history books and we are all part of that history.
So, how can we rewrite the software of our Mind to come into line with the changes to our world? We raise our awareness and State of Consciousness, we check in with ourselves.
As Meditators we have a unique gift with our Meditation practice that allows us to go deep within to reach the real source of who we are.
Here are a few questions you may like to ask yourself.
How I am feeling right now?What am I thinking about?
What will it take to raise my awareness of “Self”?
What is am I ignoring that prevents me from being present?
Am I missing the cues that Nature is offering me?
How can I raise my Consciousness State and change the printout of my body –
*Wake and rise by 6am, to take advantage of the end of the Vata period (2am to 6am).The energy at this time of day is light and fresh. If you wake up too far into the Kapha period (6am to 10am) everyday, you will feel duller and more sluggish throughout the day.
*Live in the present moment be of service in the community (what you give you receive back in abundance)
*Let go of old negative habits – Separate the Mind’s talk (Ego) from your Thinking Mind, be self-referral (come back to the self before blaming everything/everybody else around you).
*Raise my awareness of others by putting myself in their shoes – “What’s it like to be you?”
*Surrendering my preferences in my relationships gracefully and without resentment giving to others what I want to give to myself i.e. if I want affection then give affection, if I want attention then give others our attention. Whatever I want for myself -I give it first -then watch what happens.
*Have no expectations, no judgment, no sarcasm, no negativity give freely and without keeping score.
Everything is conceived, structured and perceived in our consciousness. Remember what I put my attention on grows so be mindful of what you are attracting into your life. One of my favourite sayings is “As we think so shall we be”.
Today I will follow Nature’s directions and pay more attention to the world around me. I will ask what I can give rather than what I might take.
Love to everyone, keep safe and well,
Jai Guru Deva
