Shoe beating for discarding Negativity.

Shoe Beating:

Sahajayoga is mainly associated with cleansing of body and mind .

One of the way advised to geat rid of negativity by Mataji Nirmaladevi is Shoe Beating. 

 This Technique, taught by Mohammed, is used tocombat the ego.

This is an ancient 'cleansing' technique from Islam, used by Sufis to offer negativity or evil to the Mother Earth. It entails drawing a circle on the ground with the index finger and symbolically writing into the circle, something that is of concern. Then removing ones left shoe, the circle is 'hammered' gently with the heel of the shoe.

This in no way presupposes an outcome to the problem, but is a way of surrendering it to Mother Earth, to be dealt with in the best possible way for all concerned.

First you have to draw a circle with your right hand finger on the ground in front of you. Then write the name of person, or problem or thing which you want to be treated with shoe beating.  Then give bandhan seven times to the cirle in front of you. 

Now take the left shoe, and whilst putting your attention to the sky, beat the thing that you have writtenon the ground 108 times with the heal of your shoe. There is no need to useShoe Beating:

Now take the left shoe, andwhilst putting your attention to the sky, beat the thing that you have writtenon the ground 108 times with the heal of your shoe. There is no need to useexessive force or make a racket. When complete you can do the same for any

other negativities that are attacking yourself or another person, or any other problems requiring improvement. When completed, remember to finish with a shoebeat of yourself once more. Finish by raising Kundalini and putting yourself in bandhan.

Shoebeating is to be done regularly on a daily basis, and may be done even more often for difficult or intractable problems.

 Ganesha  - Lord of Muladhara Chakra

Ganesh Festival is the important festival of hindus.  Particularly in Maharashtra state of India and the Pune city it is celebrated on a very large scale.  Ganesh Festival of Pune is well known world event now.

The festival starts from today the Ganesh chaturdhi and lasts for ten days.  Therefore it is well in order to know about Lord Ganesha and the Mooladhar chakra in our body.  Sahaja yogis all over the world knows it well.

In practice of yoga, people come to know about various chakras  present in our Body.  Chakras represents the energy centers in body ,  There are seven chakras in our body, from the base of our spine  ending at the crown of the head.  Muladhar chakra is the first one and Sahastrar is the last. Muladhar is the root chakra in our body. It is symbolized by a red, four-petaled lotus with a yellow square at its center. Muladhar chakra monitors and infouence the energy of the body part near its location  like the reproductive organs, excretory system , pancreas, lymphatic system, glands etc.

Each chakra in our body governs a particular area and is also associated with particular deities.   When the chakras open , then flows  energy which facilitates balanced and healthy life of human being.  Kundalini resides in the Muladhar chakra in the dormant state.  It needs to be activated.  In ancient time only few Rishis knew about it. In ancient years very rarely with years of practice of yoga and dhyana could  activate the mooladhar chakra.

 But now for the benefit of all human beings, mataji Nirmaladevi has activated the kundalini of lakhs of people all over the world, irrespective of age, caste, color, nation or sex.  Mataji, the incarnation of Adi Shakti is very to all human beings in this world.  Mataji had been doing this work till completely freely all her life and even today this work is done freely by Sahaja Yogis.

Lord Ganesha the foremost important diety of hindu religion governs the Mooladhar chakra.  This chakra is also associated with element of earth in our body.  Lord Ganesh is having elephant head, human body and big belly.  His work is to clear obstacles.  For uninterrupted progress, work, life etc. lord Ganesha is worshiped.  Rather without his pooja, hindus cannot worship any other diety.  He has been given first ranking, and no one can move forward without performing pooja of Lord Ganesha. 

Jai Shri Mataji.  Jai shri Ganesha.
