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.
