Universal Law
' By desire we call into existence - by affirmation we preserve and encourage - by denial, we destroy '
...Yogi Ramacharaka - 'Raja Yoga, Practice Exercises'
We have the power to create,
inherent, within us. We can become aware of this. We experience or
thoughts manifesting around us. We are creative beings. We can create
heaven, or hell, through will.
{
Practice Suggestion ... In order to observe the patterns underneath, we
need to quieten the mind through yogic exercise, meditation, mantra -
through regular practice over a period of time. If the mind doesn't
seem to quieten, it is more reason to practice! Everything affects the
breath, and the mind. We focus the attention on breath, body and mind,
concentrate and relax. Release tensions. Observe freedom of body.
Observe freedom of breath... become free. It can bearound four to six
years of regular practice to reach the Buddhist stage of Samatha.}
Affirm the true self.
Take time to listen to the body and mind. We see and feel and listen to
what it wants to tell us. Sometimes thoughts arise, sometimes
sensations, sometimes tears, laughter, shame.. etc. Observe and
release, then plant new positive seeds, regularly. {mantra, see below}
Build and maintain.
{ Practice Suggestion...
Each day,it is very beneficial to take 15 minutes morning and night to
sit quietly with myself, somewhere we feel comfortable to move within.
We observe the heart space, the space central to the chest, the heart
chakra, observe the current and momentary needs, and desires. Learn to
quieten the self. In the morning, we ask the self what we value. In
the evening, we watch the day from beginning to end, see how events made
us feel, observe whether the values were met. Start again.
Manifestation can be seen, shifts occur in visible changes to ones
living circumstances, job, friends, interests.. {very good idea to
create support network, find holistic therapist/ psychologist who you
trust..} sometimes we feel vulnerable as the heart can experience
openings, energetically. This means we have more capacity to give and
receive love, we feel life more deeply.
Creating
a vision board of images and words that speak to your soul offers an
effortless way to align your vibration to what you desire... place the
board somewhere you see it regularly, feel uplifted by it, feel as
though it is already here...see it manifest.}
Deny
thoughts which don't live up to your core values. Thoughts create and
attract like thoughts & energies. Nobody wants to be soaking up the
negative vibes of the universe. More sensitive people are particularly
prone to being energetic sponges. Thoughts influence, we dont want to
give our power away. We develop will through yogic tapas and training.
We can change our thoughts and energy with mantra. Aham prema
(pray-ma), i am divine love, is a beautiful one, as is OM, the universal
sound of individual and cosmic consciousness united.
{
Practice Suggestion... Observe your thoughts, if you find the thoughts
inappropriate, don't finish the thought, eventually the thought will not
bother you.
Replace
unwanted, out of date negative thoughts with mantra. Choose your own or
become initiated into a spiritual stream such as Satyananda yoga, or
Buddhism and be given an energised version suited to your soul/
character.
Use
a mantra for your passwords, include a sacred number?.. eg, gmail
account, ahamprema11, this registers into the unconscious. }
'
Sow a thought and reap an action, sow an action and reap a habit, sow a
habit and reap a character, sow a character and reap a destiny.'
