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!

More About Alternative Therapies

Here is something more to my earlier blog on Alternative Therapies. After learning quite a few I realised that each of them has a special attribute that aims at healing a particular aspect of human life. The subject is vast and extremely interesting. A regular spiritual practice often adds more insights into them as concepts about energy get clearer.

Herbal medicine acknowledges the use of herbs to set right body processes to achieve optimum health. They can help weight loss by speeding up metabolic processes and other bodily processes that are vital for good health.

Yoga, meditation and breathing techniques improve health and make you feel more peaceful.

Bach Flower Remedies were discoverd by Dr. Edward Bach. Each of the 38 remedies are aimed at a eliminating a particular characteristic or negative emotional state that can play havoc with the psyche and eventually cause deterioration of physical health. They can help you overcome negative emotions like impatience, poor-me feelings, dominance that can be opressive to others, inconfidence, hatred, jealousy, envy, self-centredness, overconfidence, procrastination, feelings of gloom and despair, feelings of being overwhelmed, fears both known and unknown and many more. Most humans a deeply self-aware of their shortcomings but a unaware how to address these feelings and weed them out. Bach Flower Remedies are a good modality in this direction.

Spirit-in-Nature Essences are made from flowers and fruits and were inspired by Paramhans Yogananda. The essences have been discovered after much research and are aimed at uplifting our spiritual energy by enhancing our positive qualities like kindness, mental vitality, cheerfulness, unselfishness, calmness, clarity of thought, etc. They are extremely powerful remedies and even a week's treatment combined with a positive affirmation can work wonders.

Siddha healing comes from Siddha yogis or Siddhas. A Siddha or a Siddha Guru is a perfected master or someone who has transcended his ego and can initiate a disciple through 'Shaktipat'. They were humans who through intense spiritual practice or 'sadhana' had achieved identity with the Supreme Spirit. Nityananda Baba, better known as Bhagwan Nityanand of Ganeshpuri and his disciple Swami Muktananda were all Siddhas. Saibaba of Shirdi, Jnaneshwar, Eknath and many other Indian saints are all Siddhas. These elevated souls are always present around us and actually come when invoked to help us to heal ourselves and others.

There are many more healing modalities that can be written about. Each is unique and can be creatively used to offer interesting solutions and insights into human life and its multi-level existence. All of them offer immense opportunity to delve into unknown areas of human existence that can be curiously interesting. But all said and done, learning about them affirms the belief that we are all spiritual beings on a human path come to this planet for an earthly experience!

I could go on and on about the subject, but may be more blogs on the subject are a better idea!
