An Analytical Study of Sahaja Yoga Impact on Development and Evolution in Human Beings”

 

The origin of creation is supposed to have happened due to an explosion of energy defined as Big bang. Resultant creation is made of visible and invisible, living and non-living and other seen-unseen elements. In the creation all these exist at four main levels known as Physical, subtle, causal and super-causal levels of existence. These levels are also the expression of divinity in the creation.
A human being is a living system made of visible and invisible elements and is considered a replica of universe. Thus a human being also has four levels of bodies known as physical body, subtle body, causal body and super-causal body. All these bodies have their elements and the divine forces behind the elements which contribute to working and behaviour of a human being in daily life. Some of the major elements of four bodies are,

a. Physical Body. Body, Body Parts, Organs, Systems. All that makes physical body work as a living system and perform physical actions.
b. Subtle Body. Mana (Mind), Buddhi (Intellect), SukshamIndriya (Subtle Senses). Controls working of physical body and human being as a living being.
c. Causal Body.Chitta (Attention), Ahankar (Ego), SukshmaPran (Subtle Life Force). Controls working of subtle body and through subtle physical body actions.
d. Supercausal Body. Atma (Soul), Pramatma (God), Prakarti (Nature). Controls working of causal body and through causal body working of subtle and physical body.

Working of Human Being and Behaviour
A human being as a living beings works under the control of brain-mind system. Brain is an element and part of physical body and Mind, an element of subtle body. But brain and mind are also effected by the state of causal and super-causal body elements like chitta, life force, prakarti, atma etc. Behaviour of a human being is the result of various internal factors and is observed as impression and expression caused by the impact of actions like words, dealings, reactions etc. on other livings and non-livings in general but human beings in particular. In a human being behaviour is the ultimate result of all the elements of various bodies and their impact on physical body elements which exhibit as behaviour.

Human behavior is also effected by some invisible factors like anger, fear, lust, greed, tension, anxiety etc. which are the result of actions and reactions of various body elements and exhibit as behaviour at physical and subtle levels. These are all drivers of behavior in a human being. By controlling these drivers and their impact on the elements of bodies behaviour can be controlled.

Yoga and meditation work at elements of various bodies and hence control items of behaviour.

Role of Yoga in Human Behaviour

Yoga means union of individual living with creator or Atma with Paramatma. Meditation is the process of creating this union. In practical terms meditation and yoga mean bringing peaceful integration in elements of four bodies i.e. body, mind, attention and soul etc. and achieve the goal of yoga i.e. union of atma with paramatma which reflects as joy and peace, happy mind and thoughts and ailment free health.

Meditation and Yoga as tools of human development have been accepted world over.

Sahaja yoga, though an old system, has been revived and taught in recent times. Sahaja Yoga works using kundalini awakening as the source of achieving yoga.

Kundalini is the divine energy resident in every human being and imparts life and balance and flows through Nervous System (Nadis) and Plexuses (Chakras) in the physical body. Problems in a human being are caused by imbalance in the flow of energy which when balanced removes the
problems .

Kundalini normally remains dormant but on being awakened flows through Nadis and Chakras and energises every cell and organ connected through nerves and plexuses. By meditation one can bring balance in this flow in the body and achieve benefits at physical (Body and Organs),subtle (Mind, Intellect) and even causal (Ego, Consciousness) bodies which are cause of anger, tension and all other weaknesses.

This also imparts an awareness of higher level known as self realisation.

Negativity and Positivity - How We Perceive Everything

 

Negativity and Positivity — How we perceive everything **

"...Anybody who is complaining of nature is negative, anybody who complains is negative. I never complain, do I? Did I ever complain. I’ve been to all your programs anywhere, did I ever complain that the bed is not all right? Suddenly the other day I discovered the bed on I sleep is really hard like a rock, really. I just suddenly discovered because I sat on it. But I didn’t complain to anyone. I said, “It’s all right.” Because I’m quite comfortable Myself with it. So this is it that shows a person who’s not comfortable within himself is still negative and such a person should try to keep out of Sahaja Yoga. That’s the best way the person is going to be helped.

For negative people also you must remember you must try to keep out of Sahaja Yoga. Don’t try to show off, because such a person always wants to come forward. Why? Because he’ll be blessed, because he’ll be saved. It’s a kind of a, like a beggar coming to a rich man, but it’s not so!

In Sahaja Yoga it’s the other way round, everything is just the other way round, you can put everything the other way round, then you’ll understand. In Sahaja Yoga those who keep out of My sight are better blessed. Those who do not ask Me questions, whether I should have this or that are better blessed. Those who do not claim anything from Me are better blessed. Those who do not challenge Me are better blessed. Miracles happen. Like in My passport, this has happened before also, I did not know in Australia, but Mr. Shivastava told Me that My passport has expired, I must get the validity again sanctioned.

When I came here, Warren told Me at least three times, then I asked Warren, “Should I go to Delhi to get it done because if I go to Hong Kong how will I do it, without a passport?” And then I said, “Let’s see.” I opened the passport – it’s already sanctioned till eighty-eight. So, you see, for that one has to understand that we must know our priorities; we must know what is important. For Me it was important I have to go to Hong Kong, I couldn’t find any time when I could go there, at a time when it would not be very hot. And just it worked out for Me, I don’t have to go to Delhi first and I’m now ready to go.

It has happened so many times and even if something goes wrong with My passport or anything because of negative forces, I use it for an advantage. So even if somebody is a negative person, use it for a positive thing. Now, example: I was going to America and I had sent My passport for visa and My husband who is so meticulous had taken it. And they gave the visa for the year ahead. When I went to the airport they said, “What? This is the visa for the one year ahead.” One year ahead, they had given. So they said, “You can go next year, not this year, the visa is for next year.” So I telephoned to My husband, it was a Sunday, he just got out of bed, he ran up and down, poor fellow, he said, “How is it I didn’t see?” I said, “You didn’t see. What has happened is that you didn’t see. The fellow who did it was quite speedy I think, so he gave Me one year ahead, so now better find out.” I mean, this is what happens to the speedy people. They’ll give you visa for one year ahead. That’s another extreme positivity. Now, then as a result of his running up and down, they all got shattered, you know the Americans especially felt, “Oh God, what a mistake it was.” So they gave Me visa for five years.

[Laugter and applause]

So instead of feeling unhappy about the negativity and making miserable faces and making yourself miserable and Me miserable with that, best is to laugh it out and use that negativity for your positivity...."

(excerpt from Shri Mataji's address to Sahaja Yogis at Rahuri, Maharashtra, 14-01-1986)

In Meditation You Grow

 

Shri Adi Shakti Puja, Cabella, 1993-06-06"

But some of these things I don’t know that clearly because of one thing. The relationship between you and Me is of course very intimate, that you should be in My body, but if you people are not meditating – is very mundane thing I must tell you – Dhyanagamya – if you are not meditating, then I have no relationship with you. You are not My relation. I … you have no right on Me. You have no question to be asked, why this is happening, why that is happening. So if you do not meditate – I always say meditate, meditate – I have nothing to do with you. Are no more there for Me. It has no connection with Me. Then you are like all other people. You may be Sahaja yogis, you might have got your Sahaja Yoga degree from your leaders maybe, I don’t know, and maybe that you are regarded as something very great. But, if you do not do your meditation every day, evening, morning or evening, you will be really not anymore in the realm of Shri Mataji. Because the connection is only through gyana, through meditation. I have known people who do not do meditation. Then they suffer, their children suffer, then something happens; then they start coming and telling Me. But I see clearly that the person is not meditating, I have no relationship with him. He has no right to ask Me anything. In the beginning of course, the meditation takes some time. But once you will know what is meditation is, how you enjoy My company, how you are one with Me, how we can have a rapport with each other. There’s no need to have anything else in between, like writing letters or maybe some sort of a special connection, nothing of the kind!

Only thing that is needed is the meditation. In meditation you grow. In that spiritually you become higher. And when that happens, you start, in a way, I would say that when you reach a state of that, I should say, maturity in Sahaja Yoga, then you don’t want to give up your meditation. Because that time, you are absolutely one with Me. That doesn't mean for three hours, four hours you should do meditation but it is how much intensely you are with Me is important; now it is not how much time you are with Me. Then I’m responsible for you, for your children, for everyone. I am responsible for your ascent, for your protection, to save you from all your negativity.

So it’s not like a father who will directly punish you, it’s not that, but it’s just “All right, you are not My relation, I am out.” That’s the only thing that can happen. If you are not meditating, all right, I cannot force you, I have nothing to do with you. You may have other relationship, outside, outward. But this inner relationship, by which you get your benevolence, you cannot have without meditation. I’ve been telling all of you, please meditate, please meditate every day. But I think people are also not understanding the importance of what I am saying, because they tell Me, “Mother, we don’t meditate.”

“Why?”

“Now we are realized soul, so why should we meditate?”

Now this instrument is fully made, but if it is not all the time connected for the mains, what’s the use of having it. In that meditation, you will feel the Love, the divine Love, the beauty of that divine Love, a complete panorama changes. A meditative person has a very different attitude, a very different temperament, a very different life and he lives always in complete satisfaction with himself.

…

Now one has to know that we have achieved a certain height of evolution. And from this height you might go up to here, up to here, up to here. I’m not saying it’s not possible to do that. But, first and foremost thing, that whatever you may be, may consider you to be a very high-class Sahaja yogi, you have to be humble about meditation. This meditative quality … even when I’m talking to you, it’s just, I am getting into it, because it’s so joy-giving. You just jump into the ocean of joy. First, it will be difficult, but after some time you will know that this connection that you have with Shri Mataji is the only connection that you were looking out for.

And also there is another point people get lost with, which I have seen very common with some people who get lost. They meditate individually, very much, it is very correct. Individually they will meditate. And they will sit down, meditate, we do puja, we do … But collectively they will not meditate. So this is another point one has to remember, that you have to be collectively meditating. Because I am a Collective Being of all you. And when you meditate collectively, you are really very close to Me. So even if you have a program or something, you must do some meditation with it. Always have meditation as the priority for any program. You sing the songs, is over, everything is done, then you meditate. If I’m insisting on something, you must know that this must be the truth I’m telling you, absolutely the basis of it, though it looks rather mundane, but it’s very important.

Now for us to worship Adi Shakti, I don’t know, or, because there has been no … no prayers or anything about Adi Shakti. Up to Bhagawati they have gone, but beyond Bhagawati they have not gone. So I don’t know what sort of pujas you will have, but let’s try something, maybe. I think the meditation is the best way we can really achieve something, so we can go into meditation for about five minutes.

Please close your eyes.

[Shri Mataji blows into the microphone eleven times]

Eleven Rudras are awakened and they will destroy all that is negative. May God bless you

Raja Lakshmi and Gruha Lakshmi

 

You are the epitome of the evolution, you are highest people in the evolution, you are the ones who are looked after by God, you are the most important people. It’s true; and you must be provided for. You should have no problem of money, you should have no problem of housing, you should have no problem of anything.

So, it is She, the Raja Lakshmi who gives you all these thing. Then you have your wife as Gruha Lakshmi. So we have to have a wife as Gruha Lakshmi. These two things one should understand very, very clearly because we confuse them. Wife is the Gruha Lakshmi, is the one, she is the goddess of the household. Now she has to be the goddess also, I mean she just doesn’t become goddess just by becoming. You have to become again. You have to become the Goddess. And, the Goddess of the Gruha Lakshmi is, we can say, that the deity of the Gruha – of the house - is a Gruha Lakshmi.

Now, this deity must become one with the housewife. Then the blessings of the Lakshmi essence is of well-being comes to you. If she is not the Goddess, you will always suffer.

You will always have problems; you will always have all kinds of untold miseries. It is Her blessings which brings you solace, peace and redemption - redemption is the word - of anything. So, that’s why the left Nabhi is very important as we know and that is always bad in the West.

So, I would say that the whole society is responsible for spoiling that because housewife is not respected. First of all, we should blame our society. Our housewives are not respected. Housewife is the one who is a dedicated wife even placed higher than Yatis. Yatis are the highest evolved you can say, Avadhutas, are the highest evolved seers. And, a dedicated wife has got more powers than even a Yati, it is said so.

And, even Krishna was little worried about that. Everybody had to worry; So, the dedicated wife, you see, the Gruha Lakshmi, is such an important thing because she is the essence of this well-being which is peace.

I think I have so far never talked to you about peace. And, peace is only achieved through the Gruha Lakshmi, through your proper adjustment of your spleen I should say. Because spleen is the giver of the blood cells, all right?

It creates the nutrition for the whole body. If there is no peace in that area within us the whole system can go out, because that’s the nourishing centre within us, that’s the nourishing centre. And that centre which nourishes also peace, you see, the peace. You must have heard this “Ya Devi, sarva bhuteshu shanti rupena samstitha”, the Goddess that is the Shanti which is present in every human being as peace. So this peace is only possible if the housewives realise their importance, bear it upon themselves, are forgiving and are redeeming the family life. They have to redeem the family life, and where this gets spoilt the whole system goes out. See, America I went, I found all of them have got left Nabhi, all right, and they are very violent, very violent, extremely violent.

And what I felt that in the beginning the society neglected the housewives. The institution of housewife which is the Goddess. And now the women cannot forgive them. Because the women cannot forgive them, you see, it has become a big struggle there. The children have become violent. I mean, if the housewives are not all right, there will be always violence."

What is Meditation

 

What is Meditation?

Meditation is Silencing your thoughts. Meditation is such a soothing thing, such a beautiful way of connection with the Divine, that all your problems get solved in that meditative mood. If you are not meditating, you are not following meditation, then maybe your light will go down. It won’t give sufficient light. It’s important, very important to find out about yourself, about others in the meditation. 

How to do meditation, many people ask. Don’t do anything, to just go into thoughtless awareness. Try to go to the thoughtless awareness. If you can get into that condition of thoughtless awareness, you’ve done your job, because that’s the point where you are with the truth, with the reality, with the joy, with everything that is so fundamental. When you meditate, try not to make some sort of a function out of it, no. Meditation is something silencing yourself, silencing your thoughts and going to that deep ocean which is within you itself.

 But supposing you don’t do that, if you don’t meditate. I can make out immediately those who are meditating and those who are not. It’s not difficult for me. Those who do not meditate are always hesitating. They are confused. They can’t understand. And that’s why meditation is the most important thing in Sahaja Yoga. Just like a light burns with the electricity flowing in it, you can see or buy because of the candles; in the same way meditation is a continuous availability of the Divine Force.

 That will reduce all your aspirations. Not only that, but takes out all the negative thoughts. It takes out all the discouraging things. And when you are meditating like that, thoughtless awareness, then you’ll be amazed how you are helped from within and without. It’s a terrible power that works, this thoughtless awareness. So those who do not meditate cannot go very much far with the advantage of Sahaja Yoga. One should try to meditate, and go up to the point of thoughtless awareness. So what happens to you? If you are in thoughtless awareness, what happens to you is that you get the confidence, complete confidence of divinity. You know you have that. 

I’ve seen children coming from our school in Dharamshala, extremely confident, and extremely humble. And I asked them: “What do you do?” They said: “Mother, we meditate. We meditate in the school in the evening, and that meditation helps.” Imagine these small children can say that, so why not you also understand it, that meditation will give you security. It will give you real enlightenment and a complete connection with the Divine. Without the connection of the Divine, what’s the use of doing Sahaja...

The Essence of Sahaja Yoga

 

The trouble, however, is that in the name of God, of evolution and of higher life, a plethora of of spurious people have come out making it well-nigh difficult to convince anyone of the existence of truth. Under the circumstances one has to talk about truth. But mere talking about truth rarely leads to the experience of truth. It is altogether a different realm, a new awareness which you will have to get to understand the truth for which I do not know how many of you are really prepared or how many of you would like to know. Or even if you would like to, yet how many of you will really achieve it.

 But the problem is the other way round. It is not a problem that we have only a few people, nor that I cannot give realisation. It is also not a problem that you cannot know the truth. The irony is that whatever is false, spurious or silly finds quick acceptance among the masses. Sometimes I feel that I have developed a unique method by which I can give realisation en masse all over the world. But it really poses a problem for me if the masses are not interested. In fact, it is only very few who take a keen interest in their evolutionary process and would like to come out of their ignorance in which they have been living. In all the ego-oriented countries it is very difficult to bring home the truth that we are still ignorant. We have to know a lot. It is very difficult because they think they know everything, because they have been to the moon. 

. But now in this modern life which they are leading you find them so stupid and foolish that they have begun deluding others with their stupidity and foolishness. How are we to approach those people who are true seekers ? Those who have been seekers for ages ? All their lives before have been lost. Sometimes it is very disappointing. But still hoping against hopes, I hope we reach all the corners of the universe where we find all people who are true seekers. It is their power to know the Divine; know the Divine. It is not for those who are managing directors or kings or something ! What does it matter in the presence of God. They would be pushed out. They will not be allowed to enter the kingdom of God. That kingdom is only For those who have known. Not for those who simply talk about God. Those who say that we are worshippers of God and we have learnt so much it will be said, "that is well, then go back to the place where from you have come". Whatever you have known is through your awareness, and in your awareness you have come to know. The awareness has to be enlightened. It is not what you know but human awareness which has still to grow. It involves such a lot of journey even after our realisation. It takes no time sometimes to give realisation to so many people. I know it has happened with so many. But they do not know what they have to achieve. The ego is such a horrible stuff that people do not want to see what they haven't got with them, what they have to have and what they deserve. They do not want to see that beauty, that light, that is the Spirit. The reflection of God's love is the most precious thing that you could think of. I do not know how many times I have delivered lectures in England, apart from the hard work I have put in. Of course there are results, but progress has been slow. Compared to the fake and artificial people who have made so much money out of you, Sahaja Yoga is working slowly. 

 Now, this, I must say, can work out only with people who are, seekers who want to know through their awareness what is the truth. You have to know your Spirit, for, without knowing your Spirit you cannot know the truth and whatever I may talk to you is a waste of time—a complete waste of time. Because you haven't got the awareness, today, to know the truth I am talking about. So, I must earnestly ask you to become the Spirit. Why should you hesitate to do what you are told to, so that you will get your realisation, which means that you have to become the Spirit first. Until and unless this awareness is enlightened you cannot see. It is like describing the nature of colours to a blind man. You have to open your eyes. But even this simple thing people find difficult to accept. The reason is that they have become very naive. They don't know what it is, and also they do not have any inclination to understand. Now you see a tree standing there and you must know, that they are rooted. Somebody has told you there are roots but you do not believe it because they are not visible. It is as simple as that. But why don't you try to find out if the trees have roots or not. Supposing somebody says "whatever are outside, that much more are inside." So why not try you to see into it? This is the simple question we should ask ourselves "why should I put any barrier to seeing", if that is going to give the best in the world, if it is going to give an inkling of that beautiful thing called the Spirit. Why should we not have it ? You don't have to pay for it, not even to exert for it. You don't have to do anything. But you must desire. This is the Point I am trying to make. 

If you do not desire it from your own heart, God is not going to fall at your feet, imploring "please desire me". And if you understand that you have to really desire it because it is such a desirous thing that I must tell you that this Kundalini is the pure desire within you. It is not yet manifested, not yet awakened, in the sense that it has not yet acted. Imagine how important it is. You should have the desire to be one with the Divine, to be one with your Spirit. The desire has to be strong, if not, then you would be challenging the Kundalini, that is, you turn anti-Kundalini. Then the Kundalini would not rise. But what has this brain achieved so far ? Just look at it. You must understand. What have we achieved by this brain ? For example, ask this stupid managing director "what good has he done for anybody. What does he know about the spiritual life ? What does he understand about Christ's life?" But if he sends a letter, any newspaper is willing to publish it. Look at the stupidity of the whole thing. They do not understand that anything that has to go to the masses must be sensible; from a sensible man who is said to be an authority on spiritual life. What good has this fellow done to anybody. But if I write something or any Sahaja Yogi says that by coming to Sahaja Yoga he has given up his bad habits or has got cured his cancer or diseases, then nobody wants to listen to you. Nor does it make any news. On the other hand they think you are mad. But a man like him, if he writes, they publish it. So it shows clearly we are not only contending with people who are not only mad but also absolutely foolish. Who have no sense at all as to how they have to live and how they have to conduct themselves. Sometimes you have to take it upon yourself for going into anddiscovering the truth. It is you who have to find it out. For example, I say that this is a place where there are lots of diamonds or this is a cave in which there is a lot of gold. The gold is not going to come to you. You have to go to the cave and get it. It is as simple. I am not saying you walk towards anything or do anything like that. 

You have to desire and desire from your heart It is impossible for me to raise your Kundalini if you do not desire it, because Kundalini itself is the pure desire. What can I do about it ? Can I force it ? You cannot push it out. If you want to have a seed sprouted, you have to plant it in the mother earth, you cannot take it out in bits and pieces. You have to have a pure desire. And if that desire is not there, then I am breaking my head against the wall. So it is important to understand that you must have that desire which is the highest. But if you are satisfied with things which are useless and nonsensical, then what am I to do about it ? There is no psychology which can do that, because you have to have the desire to be alright. But this is something innate and does not work with people who do not have pure desire. This has been written down since long; it cannot be changed-, it cannot be forced, explained, discussed or argued about. Nothing can be done; it has to work out from within.  

The identification with the ego is so much that it is easy to take a bull by the horns but to take an ego-oriented man to the practices of Sahaja Yoga is very difficult. Today I am rather disgusted but other moods also come—the moods of compassion and tremendous love. I should do something to bring sense to these people. Something should happen to them otherwise what I see is a complete disaster. It is going to happen. I do not want to frighten you like Mrs Thatcher does about the Russians. That might be imaginary. But this is real. I am warning you that the disaster is going to come as destruction itself. But the greatest thing is the failure of the desire that it could not communicate with you who are chosen specially in order to bring the Kingdom of Heaven. But suddenly you will find that they all have fallen into a sieve without a way out. The Sahaja Yogis too feel frustrated at times. Whatever it is, as far as I am concerned they have tremendous desire. But I am so desireless that the desire may not always work out. You see, I am a a desireless person. So I ask the Sahaja Yogis to desire, so that people will have the great desire to become the Spirit. 

This is the greatest thing that we can give to our brothers and sisters, to the people, to the children, to this beautiful world we live in, to the beautiful light and to the beautiful time they all have to enjoy. / hope those who come for the first time w ill understand my difficulty and try to see that you should desire only your Self-realisation and nothing else. Just desire that, and forget about everything else even if you are managing director or a king. Keep all your shoes outside and just desire your Spirit. You see the difference between me and Christ. He got so fed up that he cried out "let me be crucified". Of course it was in the plan that he should die on the cross. / have to see that you all get your realisation somehow. It is like a Mother's desire to give a bath to the baby and get him cleansed. So whichever you like—whether to be desolate or like to receive a rebuke—/ am willing to work it out But at least ensure that you desire to get your realisation. May God bless you.

BENEFITS OF SAHAJA YOGA MEDITATION

 

Sahaja Yoga Meditation has a beneficial impact on every aspect of a person’s life – our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual life. By bringing about an inner transformation, the benefits of meditation accrue not only to the individual but also to the society, the nation and ultimately the whole of humanity. Sahaja Yoga Meditation brings about integration of all the traditional spiritual teachings of the world.

Physical benefits

It is our subtle system which co-ordinates all the work done by the organs and the cells in our body. When one of our subtle centres is blocked, physical dysfunctions appear in the organs it controls. It is then that illnesses appear. Traditional medicine tries to cure the symptoms. Sahaj meditation allows us to directly address the causes, by rebalancing our subtle system and by cleaning our centres using the purifying Kundalini mothering energy within.

Mental benefits

When we enter a state of meditation, we enter a realm of silence; the thoughts which assail us fade away, and the reality of the present is revealed to us in all its intensity. Our senses send us a direct image of the world which is not altered by our mind or our conditionings. The mind even becomes the enlightened servant of our illuminated spirit.

Emotional benefits

When the Kundalini mothering energy is awakened and we are immersed in a state of meditation, our emotions are also brought into balance. All the weaknesses which hinder the expression of pure and sincere sentiments, such as greed, insecurity, jealousy etc. are reduced when the joy of meditation is felt. This joy is absolute, devoid of all duality. This same joy becomes the motivation of our emancipation.

Spiritual benefits

Last but not the least, Sahaj meditation reveals to us the eternal, divine being that is truth, awareness and bliss. We become part and parcel of the whole, like a drop in that ocean of love, and in meditation we melt into that primordial being. This experience is the next stage in the evolution of a human being’s awareness: that person is said to be born again or realized. This means that our spiritual essence, that was previously hidden, becomes reality. We can now set about purifying our inner being, with the help of the self-knowledge that Shri Mataji gives us and the relationship we establish with her in our meditation. Our union with the Divine will become stronger and stronger as we go along and is without doubt the most precious benefit that Kundalini awakening can bring us. This middle way that is established within us day after day by our Kundalini will shower numerous blessings upon us, not only of a physical, emotional or psychological nature, but also mental, social and professional benefits.

From the very beginning, the flow of vibrations help us to decipher and decode messages from the collective unconscious informing us of problems affecting the different chakras. Thanks to our own enlightened attention and the observation of our inner being during meditation, we can know the vibratory state of our own or anyone else’s subtle system.
