Another full moon day. This was the beginning of a new month as well. On this day I started two new processes. One process will last for the next year i.e. till 30th September 2021 while another process will continue for the rest of my life (unless it is not possible to perform). On this day Khushi also had great news to share. I may talk about this a bit later. I was late to start my meditation as there was a medical appointment at 9:00 AM. By the time we came back from GP it was already 9:45 am. I lied down in “Shavasan” for a while to relax my body and calm my mind. Then I got up and sat down to start meditation around 10:30 am. Usually, I set an alarm for 2 hours, but that day I did not set any alarm. I muted by cell phone and kept close by.

It was a cloudy day and the temperature was close to 16 degrees Celsius in the morning. I sat down in “Dhyan Mudra” with my folded legs in “Sukhasan”. I started with breathing exercises which included “∩” breathing, chanting, Shwan breathing, and Bandhas. It took almost 20 minutes to complete all these breathing and chanting practices. I took a deep breath in and closed my eyes with an affirmation of going deeper into meditation. The waves of thoughts started arriving in my mind. Thoughts over thoughts from all the possible and impossible issues, all the known and unknown encounters, a scene from a recent Netflix series, Job hunting, cooking food, childhood memories with my grandfather in the Mango orchard, my childhood dreams, recent WhatsApp message from my favorite BHU group and whatnot. Waves of thoughts hitting one after another. After every wave, I realized it was irrelevant. I just wanted to stop all thoughts so that my body is free from all emotions. I had been practicing it for a while now. I can stop thoughts for some time in between. And very next moment it emerged from nowhere. I stopped this thought as well and another thought popped up from oblivion. It continued for a while. I experienced some sensation in my prefrontal cortex while controlling those thoughts. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to reach a steady point where you can control your thoughts.

I tried several times and finally could control my thoughts. I found myself in a stupor without any struggle once thoughts were under my control. It would not be long when I started listening to a

soothing music. I thought kids must have started playing it. Usually, Khushi listens to songs in the morning. I did not let my attention divert because of this music. But later I found that it went on increasing. As the volume kept increasing and I noticed my discomfort with this sound. I understood that it was happening within me. I heard a similar sound a few months ago and I got scared. I

made up my mind to allow myself to get into it. Suddenly a light flashed and music turned to the maximum volume where it was hard to figure out any definite pattern of the notes. After a few seconds, I noticed the shape of a person with his hands resting on his folded legs. It looked exactly how I used to sit in the meditation. I was not sure if It was me. If it was the shadow of mine, it was not complete. It was how I could see my body (only the front part of my body) while sitting straight. That part of me was completely dark. It may be because there was an illuminating light in the background. To my dismay, I was struggling with this high pitch sound and high-intensity light and suddenly sensed myself lighter. My body started lifting up. The lower part of the body was barely touching the cushion on which I used to sit and meditate. My heart started pounding. I checked myself if I was not asleep. I could sense my head was tilted a bit. I understood, all the sensations are real. As soon as I started gathering my consciousness, the feeling of weightlessness faded away, light and sound started disappearing. But I wanted to continue in the same state. I was trying hard to continue to be in the same state. Everything looked like a dream and they disappeared in no time. My arms were still so light, my mind was calm and I could still feel each and every particle of my body full of energy. I came out of this and continued to sit in the same position. Thinking about the experience again and again and trying to replay it in my mind. I wished I could not have checked my awareness. Those moments of tranquillity were priceless. I wanted to experience it more and more.

When consciousness reaches Anahat chakra people start feeling lighter, they hear the sound and they may see a flash of light. All was aligning with the explanation given by someone who has experienced it all in the past. He told me that my Journey is going in the right direction.

Fly High

Fly High

 

Oct 30-31, 2020

=============

 

 

Kartik Poornima is one of the holiest full moon days in Hindu tradition. This day is celebrated differently in various parts of the world. For us, it is “Kojagara Poornima”. On this very auspicious day, people worship the Goddess of abundance to get all sorts of abundance in their lives. It is said that the cosmic vibration on this day is so high that with simple techniques and a little bit of practice you can fulfill your desires.

I prepared myself for this day, as I had experienced the tranquillity on previous full moon days while meditating. I made up my mind that I am going to spend these two days meditating without any distractions. I also selected my food carefully, as there are some foods that are not conducive to the meditating body and mind. Eating too much can also destroy this opportunity to experience your body and mind in its true self. On the 30th of October, I had a very light dinner. I decided that I would get up after mid-night and meditate for the rest of the night. I had also decided to trust myself. This time I am not going to check my awareness. I had checked in the past and was sure about those experiences being real and not my hallucination. So, I made trust is my key.

Everything was going as per my plan except the fact that I could not sleep, as it was Saturday on 31st, kids took some time to go to bed. Once they slept and the whole world was serene and calm. I went upstairs to my healing room and sat down in “Sukhasan”. It took almost 20 minutes to complete my initial breathing exercises and chanting before I could start meditation. Slowly and slowly my body and mind were ready to go into deep meditation. Initially, I struggled with thoughts popping up from all directions, but after some time my mind went into an endless void state.

After a little while, the upper part of my body felt a sudden shake, and goosebumps spread from head to toe. There were no visuals this time. There was no high pitch sound this time. But I felt my body weightless. A very soothing sensation had spread all over my body. All I could hear was a humming sound. It felt as if I was going up and up and up. After some time I started feeling back into my awareness. It was a great experience. The next day there was a full moon day. I was very excited. But it was 3:45 am and it was important for me to complete my sleep hours, only then meditation would work better.

The next day morning, I got up around 7:30 am. I started meditating after usual morning chores with great hope of feeling otherworldly experiences. My mind and body came into sync after a while. I could feel my breath going into the rhythm. I kept sitting for some time and my mind was getting deeper and deeper into meditation. 2 hours passed and I realized I should get up. There was no experience this time. I preserved my hope for the evening and night.

I had a very light breakfast and skipped my lunch that day. In the evening after pooja, again started meditating. It was 7:30 by my watch when I decided to go into meditation. I sat almost an hour and a half when my son come upstairs to ask me to come down for dinner. I was disappointed. I did not have any profound experience as I had yesterday. But I decided not to give up and keep trying to meditate as I had been doing for the last few years.

First Flight

First Flight

 

21st Oct 2020
========================
It was a beautiful sunny day, the temperature in the morning was close to 13 degree Celsius. It was Keshu’s birthday yesterday. I was so tired when the guests left for their respective homes. Khushi was talking to somebody on phone in the bedroom so I went upstairs and slept immediately.
When Keshu and Aadu left for their schools in the morning, I started meditating at 9:00 am in my healing room. It was the fifth day of the auspicious time of Navratra. This is the time of high cosmic vibration. There are numerous examples of people attaining their unfulfilled desires by simple tantric and yogic techniques in this period. When I started meditating in the morning, I was completely ignorant of the experience I was about to get. Usually, I meditate for 1.5 to 2 hours and then do my Puja, Jap, and Paath. So usually it takes almost 3 hours to complete my spiritual and religious practices every day.
It was one and a half hours when I was about to get up from meditation and start other practices. I was still in a deep trance. Suddenly I felt that I was in an ocean and floating in the water. I got scared. A sense of fear crept up in my mind and gave me goosebumps all over my body. It felt as if I was drowning but at the same time my mind said, “I can handle this situation. I am not going to drown for sure”. I started chanting Krishna’s name again and again and asking Lord Vishnu to get me out of this glut of water. I felt myself floating down and down and after a few seconds, a buoyant force of the water started propelling me towards the surface of the water. My whole body had a delightful sensation. Soothing music in my mind was continuously playing as I felt myself levitating. I had yet other goosebumps all over my body. Just to make it sure that I was not dreaming and I was awake and conscious I pressed my upper teeth against the lower teeth. I assured myself that I was not sleeping and the experience of weightlessness and levitation was very much real while I was still awake. Wafting up and down continued for a while. Slowly and slowly it all stopped and I started feeling my hands in the Dhyan Mudra, folded legs, straight neck, head, and finally, I emerged to my complete awareness. I kept sitting there for some time. Smiling on my own and I was trying to replay the experiences that I just had in my mind.
When the consciousness moves beyond Anahata Chakra and has not reached Vishudhdhi Chakra yet, the air element takes over. As the air element is prominent in the Anahata chakra activation, people usually feel lighter and lighter. In some cases, people also feel levitating. My experience this time was much profound than that last time. I felt the weightlessness, flying in the air, and levitating completely.

Knock Knock

Knock Knock

June 05, 2020

It was a full moon day. These days the moon is very close to the earth. The cosmic pull between two heavenly bodies earth and moon is so strong that it moves the water of the ocean. Hence the lives on the earth are also not untouched as they contain a very high percentage of water in their bodies. Usually, on full moon day, I observe fast. The whole day I don’t eat anything. In the evening, I worship the Moon and break my fast. I started this from the beginning of this year (2020). There was a separate reason for doing this and initially, it did not have anything to do with my meditation practices. But when you are into meditation and raise your vibration such that it resonates with the cosmos, things happen with you for a reason. I came to know the benefit of my fasting on this full moon day.

For the last few days, I was feeling interference while meditating in the morning or in the daytime. So, I decided to meditate early in the morning. On that night I slept at 10:30 PM and woke up at 3:15 AM in the morning. Moonlight was illuminating my healing room. At 3:30 AM I sat down for the meditation just below the window through which I could see the radiance of the Moon in the clear sky.

After the initial breathing exercise, I started meditating. I struggled for a few minutes to concentrate. But soon my breathing was in a rhythm and I understood that I am going deeper and deeper into meditation. After some time I went into a deep trance. Suddenly stentorian hit my head. It started with a low pitch but gradually it went on and on and reached its pinnacle where the sound was so high that it became intolerable for me. It was an unendurable sound in my head and I could not keep my eyes shut. I suddenly opened my eyes and found that the whole world was still dark. There was complete silence in the outside world. In the midst of the darkroom, there was an effulgence of moonlight. I was not sure what happened to me. What was that sound? I didn’t know that I was awake or asleep. Was it a dream? Or what I heard was real and in my awareness? I was completely perplexed. I stayed in the same position watching each and every palpitation. Feeling them all over my body. I can easily sense my body moving with each heartbeat. After some time I felt it becoming normal. It was 4:47 am when I thought to get up and went back to sleep again. I woke up at 8:25 am in the morning. I was still thinking it was a dream but the memory of that experience was too strong to believe that it was a dream.

 

Now I know that was the first knock of the consciousness on my Anahat (heart) Chakra. Now I understand it crossed my Manipuraka (Solar Plexus) Chakra and just hit Anahat Chakra. The actual journey started from here.

  • Resetting your day – Part 2

Resetting your day – Part 2

Resetting your day – Part 2

In part-1 we saw the reasons for a bad day. In this part, I am presenting you the part of tools to reset your day.

Session 3: Tools to reset your bad day

What is the different tool to reset the bad day?

When our mind is not trained to withstand the shock of the outer world, we try to find out a quick fix to the bad day. Boozing, partying, going to the movies, or going on a small trip are a few examples, but these are not very effective as you need to spend money or time or both. I am listing down some powerful techniques, which will be helpful in resolving any such situations.

Cognitive Therapy:

This therapy is based on changing your inner world to modify your outer world. All the following points secrets happy hormones such as:

6 hormones that can affect sleep

 

  • Dopamine. Also known as the “feel-good” hormone, dopamine is a hormone and neurotransmitter that’s an important part of your brain’s reward system. Dopamine is associated with pleasurable sensations, along with learning, memory, motor system function, and more.
  • Serotonin. This hormone (and neurotransmitter) helps regulate your mood as well as your sleep, appetite, digestion, learning ability, and memory.
  • Oxytocin. Often called the “love hormone,” oxytocin is essential for childbirth, breastfeeding, and strong parent-child bonding. This hormone can also help promote trust, empathy, and bonding in relationships and oxytocin levels generally increase with physical affection like kissing, cuddling, and sex.
  • Endorphins. Endorphins are your body’s natural pain reliever, which your body produces in response to stress or discomfort. Endorphin levels also tend to increase when you engage in reward-producing activities, such as eating, working out, or having sex.

 

The following methods help you come over depression, stress, pessimism.

 

  • Take a small break – When you believe the day is ruined, it is very important to change your belief. You need to take a break. Take a quick shower, go for a quick coffee or tea or small snacks (not always advisable though). Watch your favorite romantic scene or action scene or comedy scene. change your location. Take a quick nap to reduce the irritation and will improve the energy flow in your body. Make sure that you will not take a long nap else that will further disappoint you.  Make sure that whatever you are going to do, you always enjoy doing that. 
  • divert your thoughts: A negative thought brings all kinds of pessimism and distress. Hence you need to divert your thoughts. Sit quietly and think about something which meant a lot to you at some point in time, such as your first kiss, your first romantic date, your honeymoon, the first time when you became father or mother, you cracked some exam which was believed to be very tough, etc. 
  • show gratitude to someone: Make a gratitude list. Name the persons whom you want to show gratitude, you want to say “Thank You” and for any reason, you could not appreciate him/her in the past. Mention why you want to acknowledge his deeds towards you, be specific as much as possible. This sense of appreciation will take you away in a different world far far away from your current depression. You come out of it very quickly. 
  • Talk to your childhood friend/mother / Father or any other close relatives or friends: Again this creates a change in your inner world. Trust and affection hormone Oxytocin flows in your bloodstream and it helps hormones like serotonin and dopamine to take charge of your feel-good senses.
