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!
