Meditating on the Guru, Matrix Energetics and Laws of Attraction


Some time back my friend Gita lent me a book by Swami Muktananda titled , Chitshakti Vilas: The Play of Consciousness. The book is an experiential description of Swami Muktananda as he traces his journey of spiritual growth.

Swami Muktananda speaks reverently about his guru Swami Nityananda of Ganeshpuri and how
he was guided by this great realised soul; a man of few words. Swami Muktananda describes him as a highly realised soul whose mere presence was enough to give any one the Kundalini experience. A mere touch or glance was enough to heal and send the receiver into ecstasies that are only possible through a spiritual experience!
Read about Swami Nityananda at http://www.bhagawannityananda.org/

Much of the book is devoted to explaining the importance of meditation, particularly meditating on one's Guru. The Guru is often a role model that we look up to, wanting to imbibe his/her qualities in ourselves so as to enhance the quality of our lives.What better way to do it than through meditation, by just focusing on his qualities and allowing the energies of these qualities to come to you as you meditate on your Guru. As one meditates one enhances the quality of one's aura making it stronger, better and fine tuning its vibrations to a higher frequency than the current one.

Richard Bartlett in his book, Matrix Energetics by Richard Bartlett speaks of two waves of light coming together and merging, losing their original identities and becoming one. As I read this, I recalled Swami Muktananda speaking of meditating on his guru, Swami Nityananda and realised that this is exactly what happens during meditation on the guru. As you continue to meditate on your Guru you are energetically connecting with his powerful aura and imbibing some of its subtle, powerful energies that give you the feeling of being uplifted and slowly bringing about a change or shift in your own personal attitude as to how you perceive the world around you and others in the game of life.

Laws of Attraction by Jerry and Esther Hicks has also brought out the same point. They have stated that if we like a quality in another, we must meditate on that quality and by sheer dint of this act we will slowly but surely begin to attract this very quality in ourselves through the Laws of Attraction coming into force!

Thus meditating on one's Guru is a meditation with immense potential for imbibing the qualities of the Guru and feeling uplifted and raising one's vibrational frequency at least a notch higher as one traverses the path of spiritual growth!

A Friend Relates Her Experience at Pondicherry

A dear old friend and ex-colleague has just returned from a trip to Pondicherry Ashram of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. Auroville, the very word exudes a pristine energy that gives the place its unusual spiritual charm.

It was wonderful listening to her relate her experiences in Auroville and of the Ashram in particular, a place she had always wanted to visit. The experience she said was just one of a kind and a 'must have' for all. The energy in and around the Ashram was so full of positive vibrations that it was impossible for anyone to go there and not feel charged and rejuvenated.

The meditation hall, she said, is carpeted and one has to don special socks that are provided at the entrance. The meditation experience in the hall was one of peace and tranquility. She said that with the pin-drop silence in and around the place, it is sure to take you to meditative states that may otherwise seem elusive. The French architecture she said was awe-inspiring and the cleanliness spoke tons of the spiritual and godly aura of Auroville.

Both Sri Aurobindo and the Mother were realized souls with a special mission in life. Their lives were exemplary, resting in the firm belief that there is no greater religion other than 'humanity'. They lived this secular principle all through their lives in their thoughts, words and actions. Together they dreamt of a place where people could come and experience peace in silent meditation and come to learn that there is more to their physical existence than the mundane world they live in. Together they saw the dream come true in Auroville.

From her descriptions of the place and her experiences I realised how profoundly satisfying and soul-uplifting her trip had been. I made a strong wish there and then to be able to visit this place in the future and soak in the wonderful pristine energy of the place.

My friend brought back tender, loving gifts of aroma candles and incense sticks and a lovely magnetic book mark, knowing I am an avid reader, and I felt deeply grateful for this lovely gesture on her part. I am sure I will make a trip to Auroville some day soon.

First Family Constellation at Vibes: Centre For Quantum Consciousness

On Friday last the VIBES group did a Family Constellation for a client. Though as a group VIBES has done several family constellations, this was the first one for a client.

The client came with an issue concerning the unmarried status of her son. She selected people from among the group to represent her family members and then watched as the silent drama unfolded, as representatives tapped into the morphogenetic fields of the family members, taking on their energies and acting just like those they represented! She was amazed at how this was all happening. Gita and Kalpana, the facilitators, explained as much was required and urged her to wait and watch how changing energy patterns that would soon emerge. They emphasized that too much discussion was unwarranted and unnecessary as healing was inevitable.

The resolution came easily as unwanted energies from ancestors who had passed on, had created a bondage with the present generation, were released, thus allowing avenues for opening up of newer energies to come in and shape the future of the family.

The experience was wonderful to the client and the participants and to VIBES as a healing group, that is ever so eager to work with a Family Constellation!

The Message of the Fridge

Most of us assume that everyday will be just like any other and things will go on and tasks will get done as they do every day, without a glitch. But sometimes things around you just decide to cave in and there, you suddenly feel you are at a loose end!

Yesterday our fridge of fifteen odd years just decided that it would call it a day (temporarily atleast!). Early morning I discovered that there was no ice forming in the freezer and that the fridge bootles were not as cool as they normally are. Thankfully the service centre responded fast and by afternoon I ws told that the no-frost part had just died and need to be replaced. Thank God I thought at least this can be done fast and I did not have to let the fridge go out of the house for a few days for it to get repaired. The technician said it would have to be kept switched off till the block of ice that had formed behind the freezer could melt and he could work. So there I was at wits end wondering what to do with the contents. Thankfully I have my sister-in-law staying in the neighbourhood and she readily and benevolently agreed to accomodate my stuff in her's till my fridge was repaired. And so by evening I was able to settle my stuff in her fridge and felt grateful about the presence of caring relatives around me.

I remembered the days when there were no refrigerators around. My Mom used to heat the milk several times a day to keep it fresh all through the day so that we as youngsters could get it when we came home from school. She would set the curds at night so that no extra milk ever got wasted. I did just that and felt good I did not have to dispose stuff into the drain.

The whole episode lead me to clean up and discard several things from the freezer which most of us just tend to accumulate, thinking they we will be handy when required at a later date. Unfortunately when we actually need such stuff our memories may have run dry and we have gone out and fetched the same stuff only to find some of it still in the freezer stored away for future use!

I realised how methaphorical this entire incident really was. It lead to me to think how we carry a baggage of our sour memories and negative emotions and 'store them away for future use' when we would have been better off and lighter without them. Sour memories as I see them are incidents when we have been hurt or angered by another and we tend to store them away 'waiting for the right moment to hit back'. But what earthly good does it do to us? The negative energy from them remains locked in our meridians and over time accumulates to make us ill. Meditation is one way to realease them and let them go. It helps the channels in our body to dispose of the unwanted, negative energies that have blocked the free-flowing 'prana' that is so vital for good, holistic health.

My friend who is a Feng Shui expert often reminds our 'Vibes' group to get rid of unwanted 'clutter'. Clutter can be at the material, physical level or at the energetic emotional or mental level. Wherever it be, regular spring cleaning helps both the home, hearth and the heart!

At the end of the day I was grateful that this indispensible household gadget caved in because it had a message: one of being vigilant and learning to stay healthy by discarding unwanted emotional baggage that was not required.

Matrix Energetics & Richard Bartlett


Matrix Energetics is one of the most fascinating books on healing that I have read recently. Dr. Richard Bartlett has managed to convey in easy to comprehend terms what quantum consciousness is and that it can be relatively simple to use energy if one operates from the level of complete faith and then 'let's go'. Both are not so easy because most of us work from 'concensus reality' instead of learning to create our own with complete faith and then just letting go!

'Two pointing' is a wonderful technique and when I think about how Christ healed the sick, it seems just like 'two pointing'. See the picture at this link:
What many of us may not have consciously understood is that many times we do 'two point' but remain unawares that we are actually doing it. Have you ever wished for something just saying 'I wish....' and then within a short time received 'that something' and wondered how it all came about? It all came because at that instant you operated from complete faith, energized a thought and just let it go!
Neale Donald Walsch in his book Conversations With God Part I says that Jesus could heal because he operated from complete faith and believed in himself completely and totally, leaving absolutely no room for doubt. Unfortunately many of us take many lifetimes to reach and operate from a high level of complete, unquestioning faith even in small matters. When I read some of the instances described by Dr. Bartlett, I was absolutely sure that he must be one of those fortunate few who operates from this level of complete faith and then simply and easily is able to let go and let the quantum wave do its job!
He seems like one belonging to another universe come to teach us earthlings of the immense gifts we have at our disposal of which we are so unawares.
Kudos to him for this wonderful book with radical ideas, very well-written , exploring new ground and allowing as he calls it 'transformation' to occur.
God Bless you Dr. Bartlett!

'Vibes' Center for Quantum Consciousness Is Born


After much thought and discussion we finally decided to move ahead with starting a healing center.

'Vibes' Center for Quantum Consciousness plans to reach out to people and aims at being a 'one stop destination' for healing solutions, with the main focus being a therapy called Family Constellations. Other healing modalities will include, Siddha Healing, Emotion Code, Reiki and many more.

The Center will also be an avenue for healing as well as for teaching healing modalities and helping people understand that human consciousness must go beyond the physical body if healing is to be holistic.

We all met on 27th August and started with a meditation to invoke the blessings of God and the higher energies of Ascended Masters, Angels and other highly evolved spiritual beings.

We now look forward to taking up this mission in full earnest and work as channels to do healing work for our fellow human beings with God's blessings and the good wishes of all our well-wishers and friends.
