How to Deal With Insomnia

 

What is the cause of Insomnia, and how can it be eradicated.

🌹Shree Mataji: The question is about Insomnia, and what are the deities involved.

Mantra: Ya Devi Sarva Bhuteshu, Nidra Rupen Samstitha, Namastasyai Namastasyai Namo Namaha

She is the One Who gives you sleep. Is the left side. Mahakali is the One Who gives you sleep. To get to Her you must raise the Mahakali Tattwa.

So all those who have this insomnia business, should raise the left side and put it to the right. Try about 108 times first of all.

Then you have to do some deep breathing. With deep breathing you go to the left side more. With deep breathing you relax. Then put your attention to the Sahastrara, and sleep off.

But insomnia is absolutely curable in Sahaja yoga, if you know how to put left to the right. After that you should also clear out your Agya Chakra.

With your Agya finger, turn the chakra round and round; or ask any yogi to put his finger on your Agya. But it might happen that he will get your insomnia! So the best thing is you use My Photograph and try to turn your Agya Chakra like this.

Also you can put vibrated kumkum, which will make you sleepy. And try to sleep in complete darkness, without any streak of light coming into the room.

Because as long as Surya(Sun) is , your Agya takes over, and when the surya is there the light makes you feel very active, over active sometimes, and you cannot sleep. And this insomnia is absolutely curable, and you dont take any medicines or anything for them.

Another thing, taking tea like this in the night, you might get insomnia. Not Me. But you might get. But normally never take any tea or coffee after 6 o’clock. Never! Make it a point. I also try to do that because, just to give you a lesson, but I have no problem of sleeping. But you should not take any tea or coffee after 6 o’clock. Say about 5 o’clock, afterwards you should not take. You will see that you will sleep very well.

On the contrary, in the West, people always take coffee after dinner. And then they take pill to sleep.

You must take milk. And milk covered with a little butter and sleep with that hot milk, is a very good way of sleeping. If you do not get sleep milk is better."

Why Meditate - Ten Important Aspects to Meditation

 

Why Meditate? – 10 important aspects to Meditation in London

 

sahajayoga is practised in many nations of the world because of its multiple benefits to human beings.  London also is not exception to this.  Many people there have been immensely benefited with sahajayoga meditation.  Following are the reasons why it is spreading, liked and practised in London. 

It’s easy.

You don’t have to spend years living in the mountains to achieve enlightenment. You don’t have to give up anything or spend weeks in silence. You don’t have to learn mantras or wear special clothes or even try to clear your mind. With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we generally sit on chairs to achieve Yoga, effortlessly & spontaneously. As such no exercises (Asanas) are required, nor Mat or special clothing. The meditation simply happens spontaneously. The classes are easy and fun, and as long as you keep up your daily ten minutes of meditation you find you are able to achieve a deep and peaceful meditation on a regular basis.

Sahaja Yoga Meditation takes you into the state of  ‘thoughtless awareness’.

True meditation is a state of deep peace where the mind is absolutely calm and silent, yet completely alert – a state of being known as ‘thoughtless awareness’. Throughout history, mystics, saints and prophets have spoken of this experience. They removed themselves from society, sought ways to cleanse themselves of human troubles and devoted their lives to achieving their spiritual ascent. Their aim was to achieve ‘self realisation’ – a state of being where the human spirit becomes one with the Divine, where fear and anger are replaced with joy, contentment, inner balance and peace.

Sahaja Yoga meditation delivers – ‘mental silence’, to meditators across London.

Through Sahaja Yoga, the experience of ‘mental silence’ is now possible for every human being, effortlessly. Meditation helps you evolve. Meditation raises resistance to stress. More meditation, less conflict. Pop along to one of the Free Meditation London classes

Sahaja Yoga is the simplest way to obtain natural wellbeing.

Even after the  first experience of Sahaja Yoga, you can begin to experience a widespread feeling of relaxation and peace; and after a few moments of practice you can begin to establish a continuous state of wellbeing and serenity. Meditation in London is not only possible, it is exceptional. 

Sahaja Yoga is free 

Shri Mataji – Free Sahaja Yoga Meditation Classes

There is never any charge for Sahaja Yoga instruction or for receiving one’s self realisation which is the birthright of every human being. This philosophy of Sahaja Yoga is based on the fact that it is not possible to pay for what already exists inside us and merely needs to be awakened. We can pay for renting a room, for printing material, but what can we pay for awakening our own true nature? So you can learn to Meditate in London for free at one of the many Free Meditation London classes

Sahaja Yoga is a method of spontaneous meditation

Everything happens in a spontaneous way inside you, just like a plant naturally grows from a seed. Meditation is a state of being in which we are in thoughtless awareness: perfectly aware and alert, but free from thoughts. This state of peace of mind can be reached thanks to the Sahaja Yoga method in a simple and natural way.  It is not necessary to take difficult physical positions, or abandon our daily life or to read complicated philosophical studies. Being able to Meditate in London is now a daily reality for many. 

Sahaja Yoga helps you to make your life more joyful

As you begin to meditate, spontaneously, tensions accumulated in daily life are released. As our inner state re-balances, we may feel a renewed energy for life.   Innate virtues and inner qualities may become nourished. These experiences of enhanced  self knowledge allow us to understand ourselves more clearly. As we become clearer, we may  also gain a better understanding of the plight of others and thereby naturally become  more compassionate and patient. Many meditate in London together to benefit from the collective effect of doing it in a wider community. 

Sahaja Yoga helps you face and dissolve anger, fear, guilt  and worry.

Many of us may have accumulated unhelpful emotions like anger, fear, guilt and worry, which can hamper our enjoyment of life here in London.  It can be difficult to shake off these unhelpful feelings which can ‘hold us down”. Sahaja Yoga equips us to gradually attend on these states of being, aiding us in our daily journey, to dissolve and  release these  built up inner conditions. As more and more discover how easy it can be to meditate in London, it has a collective positive effect on everyone.

Sahaja Yoga allows you to acquire a deep knowledge of yourself.

Sahaja Yoga allows you to obtain a pure knowledge of the self, not veiled by deluding ideals and false conditionings. The idea is that we get to live in a clearer reality, rather then the worldview created by the ego. Inner beauty should blossom just like a flower manifesting all its fragrance,  hopefully leading to a state where we are all in better harmony with ourselves and the world. Learn to Meditate in London and tap into your own own serenity, balance and silence.

Regular Practice of Sahajayoga makes a better person

 

How Meditation Has Helped Me Throughout My Life

Following is the experience of the benefits one gets by sahahayoga meditation - 

I am a 76-year-old grandmother and have been practising Sahaja Yoga for 34 years.  A young boy from Chennai said, “Aunty, whoever talks about you says you are very strong”.  “Yes, I am strong, but not like a wrestler”. I am mentally and spiritually strong, and that is because of my honest and sincere practice of Sahaja Yoga.  It has taught me everything. How to be good and strong, how to keep healthy, and how to be a person whom everybody wants to meet and know.

From the day I joined I have followed all the teachings of Sahaja Yoga very obediently, without any doubts or questions.  We are not asked to do difficult things like fasting, giving up family, being very sober and not going for parties or movies.  BUT we must live a moral life and avoid all things that are wrong and sinful. How will we know?

The day you get realisation, the Divine Energy of the Kundalini starts spreading into all the cells of the body and starts cleaning us from inside.  

All this dirt must be removed, so we are taught to sit with our feet in a bucket of salt water. The water element takes it all out.

We are also taught to sit in meditation early in the morning, because between 4:30 and 6:00 am is Brahma Muhurtham, when the divine rays are very strong, and the flowers open, and birds sing.  This is my daily routine. Sometimes I may feel pinpricks on my fingers and palms. They told me in the Centre that these are signs that there is some disturbance in a Chakra. Every chakra has a nerve ending on a fingertip, and according to the finger, we can know which chakra is in trouble.

I even learnt that on every chakra a reflection of God has a seat, and every chakra has qualities that we have to follow.  Like the chakra at the neck is the place of Shri Krishna, and the qualities there are to speak sweetly to everyone. If I have been rude and bossy, and hurt anyone’s feelings, this chakra will get disturbed and I will feel it on a finger.

Not only this, but we also learn how to repair any damage that we may do by our bad behaviour, or by harming others.  So, we are always alerting to find out our mistakes and correct ourselves.

So regular practice of Sahaja Yoga makes me a better person.  

I do not get angry, so I do not get blood pressure or tension headaches.  I am always happy with what I have, so I don’t try to do cheating and fraud to gather money or property.  I do not speak rudely to anyone in my house – my husband, my children, my grandchildren, or the people who come and help us in the house.

I am not strict about what time I eat, what time I sleep, or any other requirement.  But I am regular with my meditation, my foot soaking, and attending the collective programs in the Centre. I learnt how to balance myself!

Purity is the First Element of LIFE

 

“Purity is the first element of life.”

Ganesha is a principal, an element. This is not a god etc. This is the one element, which is the element of God. That is the essence of purity. God created this Ganesh ji before creating this entire universe. Believe that first the purity was created in this world. No matter how much a person falls, no matter how much his condition deteriorates, no matter how much he invents God, he still knows this in his mind, recognizes him all the time, that I am doing some wrong thing. Why does this happen? How does man know that I am doing this wrong thing? Which element is hidden inside it, due to which he keeps on knowing all the time that I am not doing the right thing. There is a man who keeps bad eyes on someone’s girl or looks at someone’s wife with bad eyes or cheats on his wife. Or a wife cheats on her husband. Or some boy or girl cheats on their parents. Whether he does it secretly or even openly, but he keeps eating it in his mind, always eating this thing inside him, that I am doing this wrong thing. This happens in us because we have the element of Ganesha in us because here the four such squares which are made at the bottom, are Ganesha. The 51 elements in the earth element, the carbon in it. Ganesha is the element. As long as carbon is not present in any atom, in the molecule, then organisms cannot be born. That is, the first element of life is Ganesh Tattva. Purity is the first element of life….

This Ganesh Tattva which is in us, wherever it is, where it appears, it is called Pelvic Plexus. Due to which there are four types of sub-plexes inside us. From that one, reproduction takes place. One is the act of sex. There are minor doubts etc. from one, in this way the immersion activities are done. And these elements are like this, it is adorned by Ganesha. Is the principal of Ganesh ji. Ganesh ji is a child, an innocent child, which is called the embodiment of innocence. Ganesha is the embodiment of purity. When the real appearance of this element is awakened in us, then we cannot do impurity. …

Since the child does not know what sex is, Ganesha is very dear to the mother. They don’t even know Shiva except Mother, no one knows. Purity does not know anything except the mother. Purity has a power of its own, who knows his mother. The son has been placed there, so he should protect his mother. Your mother is Kundalini. And under it the childishness, your innocence, the purity of yours, God has placed it, to protect it, this mother. .. This is the Ganesh Tattva, which God has given to you, that you should protect the Kundalini, which is your own mother and which is different for each one of us. It is sitting, and waiting for that day you are going to be reborn, the day you are going to get realization, then she will get up on her own and get you across. It is said that in order to get this Ganesha element, Brahma, Vishnu also lost. Ganesha is considered as the highest God and first of all. Because he is very holy. The one who is the purest of all in the child form is Shri Ganesha.Aa you may know when Dattatreya was also created, the Guru Tattva which belongs to Dattatreya ji, when he was created, he was also made a very small child. That innocence, that purity in a small child, where he does not see the difference, what is man and woman! He doesn’t even know what impurity is. ..

Jesus christ and lord ganesha

 

I have said a lot of things regarding Christ before, and how Jesus Christ is related to Shri Radhaji, that he is the incarnation of Shri Ganesha, who was the son of the Adi Shakti to begin with. But then he was given to Shri Radhaji and Shri Radha created as Mahalakshmi, as Mother Mary, this great incarnation of Christ. Now, for western mind, it is impossible to understand how there can be a immaculate conception, because they have no sense at all, no sensitivity at all to spiritual life. We Indians can understand it. It is easy for Indians to understand because we had Shri Ganesha created that way, we just believe it we don’t doubt these things. Whatever is said about God is not to be doubted with this limited brain. That is not done in India. But in the west, from the very birth of Christ, they have had arguments, arguments, arguments, arguments with this limited brain they had, and the whole religion in the name of Christ is just a perversion. Such a horrible things have been said that is unbelievable. His purity, his holiness, his auspiciousness, is never understood in the west I think. Those who follow, follow Christianity, how can they be so debased in their moral character. They are alright for their political, their economical, we can say their legal side. But their moral sense is absolutely missing, it is very surprising. Those who are the followers of Christ should have the greater amount of morality. He has said that ‘Thou shall not have adulterous eyes’. Such a subtle thing, even the eye should not have adultery, should not have lust and greed. Such a subtle thing he has said it and just think, in the west people could not follow it because the whole religion got perverted under the influence of Paul and Peter. It’s a very serious thing that they have done against Christ and still going on. Still this Catholic Church though being exposed so much is still going on in India also, all over, is stupid this Protestant Church also is going on everywhere.

What good name they would have brought to Christ? One should see the first and foremost thing he has said that ‘You must enter into the Kingdom of God; that you must be born again.’ So it is all mental that you must be born again, you have a certificate that you are born again, finished. So this mental attitude of the west is responsible for killing the great incarnation of Christ. So I think is another crucifixion. Mentally you cannot understand spirituality. So they were telling me all ‘Brain Trust”, “Brain Trust”. I said brain trusting I cannot understand in Sahaja yoga. In Sahaja yoga what is the brain trust? Where is the brain? In thoughtless awareness, where is the brain? So this brain trust business might be alright for any other place. But for Sahaja yoga, I still don’t understand what do you do in brain trust? Because some people want to come on the stage and speak you see. They have kind of a madness, they can’t get over it. So they might be coming to the brain trust, may be. But it is not brain, it is the heart. It is the heart which has to be opened out. Because, with the brain what we do is all kinds of materialism. All kinds of nonsense has come from human brain only. Not so much from animal’s brain. You can see if you go to any forest, it is clean, nice, feeling so well. But you put one human being there and you will know that this filth, dirt has come from some human being. So, as it is they have made a mess of all the great incarnations, but worst is done to Christ and I feel what a waste it was. So, we must understand Christ in the right sense. He is the eternal child. He is the innocence itself. He is the source of innocence and he is the bestower of all blessings in all chakras. But that doesn’t mean that you are Christians, you should be very proud that ohhhh she is talking about Christ. Many I have seen Sahaja yogis, are still identified with Christ, while they have nothing to do with Christ at all.

Now, one has to understand that how Christ in his miraculous life has shown so many miracles. First of all his birth, was immaculate. Every kind of birth is immaculate. They are beyond sins. They are special people. They may come as human beings, they may come as angels, they may come as anything. They are divine, and we should understand that this little brain of ours cannot discuss about them and talk about them. But is to just surrender and worship them. They are much beyond us. So, for the western mind, it is important to understand that the life of Christ was such a blessing for them, that they have lost it, they have wasted it and they have never understood how to respect it. The whole thing became like a political, economical, nonsensical fraud.

I had told you long time back that how we can prove that Christ was Ganesha and he was the logos and he was the, what we call is he Bramhanad, the first sound. By looking at your left side from the right side, if you see the Mooladhara, you will see Swastikas, because it is made of carbon atom. If you see from left to the right you can see Omkara, and if you see from down upwards, it looks like Alpha and Omega. In those days, Christ has said “I am the Alpha and I am the Omega”. And now we have made the animation, we have no arrangement to show there. I don’t know if you could arrange it somehow. But you can see it clearly, what I have said can be proved. So as you worship Ganesha, you must worship Christ, in the same manner for all those who worship Ganesha. Because I have seen that the Hindus, they are stuck to Ganesha, and Christians are stuck to Christ. Even after coming to Sahaja yoga, they carry those traits. Ganesha is alright up to a point and then it is important that we must pray to his incarnation that is Christ. In the same way, those who worship Christ, must also worship Ganesha, because he is the source, he is the potential of Christ. All this was in the divine plan, done with divine discretion. Everything was done so beautifully, but as I told you human beings are good at massacring anything that is beautiful. And that’s how it has happened. It is very, very sad, and on his birthday today, we have to decide that he is to be born within us again, in a proper way. That he is the Alpha and the Omega. At that time of his time I didn’t know that anybody knew about these symbols. These symbols also must have come from unconscious to some of the great mathematicians in long time and that’s why these symbols are used exactly like Alpha and Omega, you see him clearly. It is so clear cut now in Sahaja yoga, we can prove so many things, all tangible. How Christ used to cure people, what did he do, it’s all tangible, we can prove it now in Sahaja yoga, how it works out, how these powers work out, but we have to first of all cleanse our lives. We have to lead a very honest, powerful and pure life.

TREATING TENSION

 

Treating Tension

Recent medical investigations have shown that emotional stress and anxiety can precipitate chemic heart disease and cause sudden death. Clinicians have also suspected for long that accumulation of small stresses from long standing conflicts can augment the development of
Hypertension and even coronary atherosclerosis. Inspite of their side effects and habit forming nature there is a tendency to use tranquilizers and other drugs to control tensions and blood pressure.

The physiology department of the Lady Hardinge and the Sucheta Kripalani hospital has established through elaborate scientific studies the effect of Sahaja Yoga on the human body and its role in preventing stress disorder.

The study, published in the journal of the International Medical Sciences Academy establishes that even with a few weeks practice of Sahaja Yoga, tensions are reduced and people can lead a more relaxed life. Prof. U.C. Rai, former head of the Department of Physiology at the Sucheta Kriplani hospital and currently additional medical superintendent who heads the team undertaking Sahaja Yoga (stress studies) says, “drugs are not a satisfactory long term answer to tackle the problems of severe stress. Various relaxation techniques meditation & bio-feedback technique have been tried to reduce the effect of stress on the body. But there have been little or no scientific studies to show how this relaxation occurs.

Now Prof. Rai along with Dr. S. Sethi and Dr. S.H. Singh have also established that the awakening of the Kundalini which the Yogis maintain is manifested in the subtle feeling of coolness in the palm of the hand and a sense of euphoria of release is possible with the practice of Sahaja Yoga. The static Kundalini is symbolized by a serpent coiled into a length of 3.5 inches with its tail southwards and spiraling around the central axis at the base of spine. When the Kundalini Shakti is activated with Sahaja Yoga it ascends to unite with the pure universal consciousness above the crown of the head and self realisation occurs. Studies done which were published in scientific journals were conducted on 20 people in the age group 35 to 50. Ten of them were from the Department of Physiology and had no previous training in any form of Yoga, meditation or bio feedback techniques. They were given two days training by a qualified Sahaja Yoga teacher in the physiology department. Thereafter they practiced it for a few weeks, 20 minutes daily on weekdays under the watchful eyes of their tutor.

At fixed intervals doctors studied the effect of Sahaja Yoga on the heart rate, blood pressure, the level of the blood lactic acid, VMA in urine which indicates secretion of adrenalin by the body and the galvanic skin resistance (GSR) which show whether the patient is tense or relaxed. All 10 were patients of hypertension, some of them on drugs. As the Sahaja Yoga practice progressed the medicines were reduced and finally stopped. In 12 weeks the diastolic blood pressure dropped from 100 to 80 and the adrenalin flow, it was found also dropped.
The second group of 10 trained Sahaja Yogis from the centre at Safdarjung Enclave had been practicing Sahaja Yoga for two to six years. Readings were taken before, during and after Sahaja Yoga. The GSR in the first group of subjects increased from 43.9 kohms to 64.7 Kohms. In the second group practicing Sahaja Yoga the mean level was 103.9 kohms. In the second group practicing Sahaja Yoga the mean GSR was 130.4 kohms which increased by practice to 183.85 kohms.

The changes in the skin resistance are a measure of sweat gland activities and are related to the sympathetic nervous system. The study says the sweat glands are connected to the hypothalamus, reticular formation and cerebral cortex and therefore reflect the activity of different regions of the brain related to the individual’s arousal and awareness. The ascending reticular activating system and hypothalamus are the fundamental structures which determine the state of awareness of an individual.”

Therefore, the change in the activity of the sweat glands should be closely related to one’s awareness and level of tension or relaxation. The study shows that Sahaja Yoga awakens the Kundalini there by producing a state of thoughtless awareness with deep relaxation which in turn, is responsible for increased skin resistance in both groups.

In patients with anxiety neurosis the blood lactate concentration increases. On doing Sahaja Yoga this reduces and the adrenalin production drops. Increased adrenal activity leads to high blood pressure. Significant Physiological Changes have been noticed in both trainees and the advanced Sahaja Yogis. The sympathetic system dominance, noticed in situations of stress, is knocked down by the Yoga. Two papers named, “Effects of Sahaja Yoga Practice on patients of Psychosomatic Diseases” and Physiological Effect of Kundalini Awakening by Sahaja Yoga which was prepared by Dr. Deepak Kumar Chugh and Dr. Sandeep Sethi have already earned doctorates.
