Mother principal meditation

In esoteric teachings, we always encounter the concept of the divine mother, the primal force, the creator or the one that expresses the divine in multiple forms.
We are considered to be the  child of that energy, she is the one that is nourishing, protective and given all and to all, as a mother is.

This meditation is a call to that force within ourself, is a prayer, is a recognition that we are under a big force that unconditionally care for us.

How to do the meditation:

Sit with the spine straight with your legs cross.
Make a fist of both hands infront of the heart. The left palm faces up and the rigth palm faces down.
Extend the little finger of the left hand and hook it under and around the thumb of the right hand. Pull to create a slight tension. Close your eyes and focus at the brow point.

Inhale deeply and chant in a monotone the mantra
A-I-AM
(pronounced AH EE MAH) once per breath as you exhale.

In hale again and repeat. Each syllable is long and takes approximately one third of the breath. Chant for 11 minutes. You can extend the chanting to 15,22 or 31 minutes if you whish.

To end:
Inhale deeply, hold, pull on the finger and thumb. Exhale. Sit quietly with the eyes closed.
relax and enjoy your inner space.

Meditation for atomic radiation

One of the effects of radiation is the thinness of our magnetic field or aura.  An atomic radiation has in a way the same effects of our mind judgments, it dry the  physical and subtle tissues, leaving them expose to tearing.

This meditation was giving by one of my teachers, Yogy Bhanjan, in 1978. It can be done anytime, and its effect will be to calm you, to energize you and to relax you.

How to do it:

Sit strait.

1.-Let your upper arms hug your sides.

2.-Hold your lower arms up so the hands are as high as your neck, plams facing away from the body.

3.-Hands are in gyan mudra (tip of thumb and forefinger touching).

4.-Chant the following mantra three times on one deep breath.

PRANA APANA SHUSHMNA HARE,

HARE HAR HARE HAR HARE HAR HARE.

Prana is life force corresponding to the electron,

Apana is the eliminating force corresponding to the proton, and shushmna is the central force corresponding to the neutron. The beauty of this mantra is in the touch of palate and tongue.

You can do this as long as you want, single or in a group. If you wan to have a bit of fun, do it for 62 minutes and after measue yourself with an electrocardiograph ( biofeedback). It is very powerful.

What is integral meditation

Integral meditation is a gift for those who are ready to grow into their full totality.

Integral meditation condenses the teachings of the structure of being, which identifies the existence of 12 bodies. Four of those bodies belong to earth and are submitted to earth laws.  Four bodies belong to love, therefore they function under different laws and principals. The other 4 bodies belong to the realm of the spirit with their living expression on the level of vibration and stillness .

This meditation stimulates and harmonizes all these bodies, including the chakras, and the pranic bodies.

It involves a process of integration, of cleansing and vibrational nourishment.

I admire the simplicity of this meditation with it"s  power to release anxiety, mind conversations, depression or any negative vibrations.

I  launched this meditation with the total awareness of the celebration and joy that it produces in it"s practitioners . I am giving this meditation in the form of a course so that the aspirant understands the needs, location and processes  of all their bodies. The course welcomes advanced meditators as well as new aspirants.

The integral meditation course is supported this year by small workshops that will enrich the depths of the practice and will supply to you a foundation to assimilate the new upcoming energies on the earth little by little so your physical and emotional bodies can harmonize them in a smooth and gentle way. Each month we will offer an enrichment that will leave you with much joy and inner stability.

This meditation is a self-training for those who wish to vibrate in Unity and illumination. It is a call for wellness, centeredness and self-responsibility.

WHAT PEOPLE SAID ABOUT INTEGRAL MEDITATION?

Thank you for the chance to be in your lovely caring presence and learn the steps for integration. It is amazing how it just creates the hollow on empty so quickly. It was wonderful to slow down, process and eliminate all the unnecessary energetic stuff I was carrying around. I look forward to the practice and integrating more.

Brigitte

I was thinking on the drive home yesterday about the energy at the end of the integration meditation and how I described it as lovely and enveloping and maybe cradling. Finding the words to describe it was challenging but during our drive home, the words sweet and gooey came to mind. I was surprised that gooey did because I think you described love energy as a goo, but I couldn't quite imagine how that could be. What I observed was not a sticky goo, but a soft energy with a noticeable density.....love syrup :) This is making me giggle right now....

Tania

Thank you for the hand-out. It is very useful.
Feeling lighter today. I am still in awe at what happened
to me when my parts came back. Woah!!! 
Catherine

Thank you so much for today, it was delightful to be in your graceful presence and to bathe in your ever so subltle and yet so profound knowledge. I look forward to embarking in this new journey, it is very exciting to have had the priviledge of being with you fo some time while your whole being was developing this integral meditation. It is a beautiful synthesis of the many gifts you have given us over the years and more...

Meditation to conquer self- animosity

We have the bad habit to located our self under self-defeating behaviors and attitudes. We are not cultivating on a daily basis  self-qualification and self- acknowledgment.

We take poor positions when it comes to face our equanimity, this non-neutral position distract us from the real gift of life: to relate to the infinity part of our self. This meditation conquers the state of self-animosity and gives us the ability to maintain a conscious support of the core self. The result is forgiveness.

How to do it.

Sit comfortable with the spine strait.

Relax the arms at the sides and raise forearms up and in so that the hands are in front of the chest at the level of the heart. Draw the hands into fist and point the thumbs straight up towards the sky. Press the fist together in such a manner that the thumbs and the fist are touching. The palms are towards each other. This meditation requires the upper torso to be held strait, without rocking back and forth. Fix the eyes at the tip of the nose.

Breath:

Inhale through the nose

Exhale completely through the mouth

Inhale deeply and smoothly through the mouth

Exhale through the nose.

Continue this circular breath for 3 to 11 minutes.

Try for 40 days, will do wanders for you !

The 12 rays and the 10 bodies

walking the mandala in sacred land

walking meditation in the inner/outer mandala

Thank you so much for this beautiful ceremony. The use of colours and materials made the mandala so vibrant and brought to life all previous teachings on the structure of being. In my years studying with this community I believe this was one of the most powerful and vivid workshops I had the pleasure of attending.

Maria

The experience of the Sacred Architecture Course, perhaps as any of the intensives that I’ve experienced so far, is hard to describe in words. Having just met Bhuvaneswari this summer, I was only able to attend the last few months of Ray Courses, and found each to impart very distinct and powerful offerings...And the final course was like finale of a symphony! Truth, power, colour, simplicity... I left refreshed and clear-minded, grateful for the support and connection with like-minded souls.

Loving attention

Do you want to make it better?

Have you ever had the feeling that you want to improve yourself on the level of health ,personality or communications skills? 

Yes, this is a natural tendency we all have for expansion and for self  improvement, it can be however a trap when we don't take what I call the will-less approach.

As I see people day after day, I distinctively see over and over again the human tendency of self improvement by the use of an inner  effort,  and by creating a strategy with the  expectation that it will fix them . I see this tendency as people often ask me HOW CAN I FIX MYSELF ?
This innocent question initiates  endless thoughts and plans as the mind  projects us into the future sacrificing our spontaneous view and experience of life .

The curious thing is that what we are usually trying to fix is a unseen feeling of guilt.
We have a  hard time accepting life's rough teachings. We expect to learn without making mistakes, and as we inevitably do we judge ourselves because it does not fit with our high standards of perfection and with our self image .
Most often this type of guilt has no real foundation in reality. It is there because of our ridiculously  high self expectations to be constantly perfect.

This attitude can be relaxed by giving yourself a reality check, by honestly asking yourself if you are truly guilty of not doing your best in life's situations .
 If this false guilt is not confronted often with affection and neutral overviews, we will continue to engage in a  false and exhausting drive to redeem ourselves .

The sad part is that we truly believe that we need to make tremendous efforts towards redemption to give ourselves a feeling of freedom and peace of mind. I can tell you that all efforts of self improvement that are coming from that place are not going to work. You may feel clever, smart and in control, but really what  you are doing is avoiding your true self .

The power of attention
When I mention to my class that all is required to liberate inner rigidity is undivided loving attention, they look at me like this is too simple to be true.
It is actually a very simple act, so simple in fact that it makes the mind restless .
It is a powerful moment when the breath, the mind and the body join in a smile, in an acceptance that you are just what you are in that specific moment of your learning process.
By being quiet and by slowing down your daily activities you will naturally meet that place.

I have witnessed real magic in healing and in inner awareness when we tap into that space sincerely and affectionately.

Effort wants control, understanding.
Neutral attention only contemplates what is there with no pretensions or ideas of how to make better.
Attention brings contemplation,
contemplation brings beauty
beauty brings harmony and gratitude.

It is that moment when the true creator inside of you
emerges in full power and glory and explodes it's light in all 6 directions.
You become a living testimony of abundance, presence and love.

neither Expressing nor suppressing

Over expressing or repressing spoils our creative communication

In the process of communicating with our creativity we have the tendency to lose our centre, either by over expressing or by repressing.  This is a phenomenon that needs to be understood  in order to educate the solidity of our centre and the maturity of our creative communication.

It all starts with our moods. We typically do not relate to them as something that will pass. We tend to react immediately, or to withdraw. We do not grant our moods the chance to mature:  firstly by not identifying with them, and secondly by bringing them to a centre of neutrality.

Others are our centre

Let’s recall the moments where you felt angry or hurt:  we make another person  responsible for that.  Somebody disagrees with us or says  something ungraceful to us, so we react. At that moment we make the other person our centre and we therefore lose our centre. The choice of expressing our feelings or repressing them does not help to recover our centre, because the other person will still be at the base of our feelings.

So what is important is to not place the emphasis neither on the expression nor on the suppression. The emphasis rather is on knowing from where this anger or hurt arises. Anger has arisen in me; ordinarily I can do two things:  either I express it to someone or I repress it. In either case, I am more concerned with the other person and with the energy of anger that has come to the surface--rather than the source.

Using the feelings to go to the source

We need to educate ourselves to remove ourselves from the periphery of these feelings. Look at the energy of anger arising and move deep down to find the source within yourself, where is it coming from? The moment you find the source, remain centred in it.

We can use any emotion to find the centre. The whole exercise is not to do anything with the feeling itself, otherwise you get lost in the ride of your own moods and /or the reactions of others.

Energy is neutral

Understand that by expressing it, you can get a release, but you won’t change your perception and by repressing it you will be postponing that expression for another day or another form.  Neither choice will change the centre of perception.

All we need to remember is that energy is neither anger, nor love, nor hate. Those feelings will pass. Energy is simple, energy is neutral. The same energy becomes anger, becomes sex, becomes love. Your mind gives the form, and the energy moves into it.

That is why when you are in love it is harder to be angry, or when you are experiencing sexual satisfaction your chances of being violent are minimized. The energy is invested in specific feelings or situations.

Discern your choices wisely, move deeper within yourself, and see the source from where those feelings are arising. Only then, can you remain neutral, untouchable and removed from the storms of your moods and that of others.

Tuesday Night Meditation: The First Chakra

The first three chakras are receptive. When we are not in receiving mode, we go into greed: for sex, for money, for power. We are lacking in surrender. But really, to be on Earth is to have confidence that you are being taken care of. It is a feminine quality.

When there is no trust, instead we have insecurities that need to be fed. For example, when the teacher gives you a gift, but then you question why you need it.

Be open to receiving the gift of life

The first chakra is our first test of our ability to be receptive. There needs to be a simple surrender to the divine, to the earth. Have you seen a dog when she gets to know you and trust you? She lies down on her back, exposing her belly, as if to say, “Pet me!”

It’s like that.

The first chakra is where we allow ourselves to be penetrated by life, symbolically and physically.

If you negate what life gives you, you are obstructing success in wealth, in health and in relationships. Our homework this week is to observe how the gift gives and the conditions we put on receiving that gift.

Over the next seven weeks we will be embarking on a journey into the central channel. Next week: the second chakra.

Weekly meditations take place every Tuesday from 6 to 7 p.m. at Cuppedia Cafe, 97 Main Street, Ottawa. The next monthly meditation in Wakefield takes place on October 29. For more information, visit http://www.bhuvaneswari.ca

Tuesday Night Meditation: Big tantrum, small tantrum

We had a nice cozy group at the opening session of this fall’s meditation classes this past Tuesday. Teresa was thrilled to receive us back with her warm quesadillas, teas and goodies.

We were commenting on how important it is to move our bodies and to keep serving, to keep putting our talents out there. We all were intrigued by the women’s empowerment day and by how our own tantrums prevent us from getting out there and showing the world our beauty, grace and power.

Big tantrum vs small tantrum

I spoke of the difference between the big tantrums and the small tantrums. The small tantrum happens when we are aware that we are feeling discomfort; when we are resenting, judging and opposing any experience in life.

The big tantrum is the one that we carry from one life to another. It is so close to us that we adapt to it; we are not completely aware of it. All we know is that we are not at ease in our life, in our experiences and in our relationships. This type of tantrum is not easy to pinpoint, since it dwells in the subconscious, and is introjected and perceived as part of us.

We did in meditation some self-awareness exercises that may facilitate the navigation in that area.

Post your comments here

I am inviting you to post your comments here based on what you experienced this week. We can learn from each other; we can support each other; we can inspire each other.

In service,
Bhuvaneswari
