Om Ganesha, Morning Pujas and Prayers Sept. 9, 1999 Namaste my chelas. This morning as I was doing pujas to the Great Jungle Ma, Kalis Young Form who lives on our Kali Path and to whom I ring the bells announcing Her movement on the path in the early dawn hours.
I ask the young Mother Kali to bring to my children the wonder of controlling their thoughts or at least begin to ignore them.
Swami then reminded me of the teaching of the pranas moving freely in the body due to the practicing of the Mother Breath. The vital forces which flow through the nerve centers of the body begin to open up like lotuses, from positive thinking. When the Pranas are not balanced then you begin to listen even more intently to the thoughts of the ego. This causes tension in the body and consequently brings a sadness that is totally unnecessary. Sometimes people are said to be clinically depressed when this happens.
When you do the Breath of the Mother there is a joy that is so positive and free. This can bring you a little at a time, into a place of Bliss. Simply knowing that the Mother is in you breathing Her Sacred Breath is enough to make any one happy. If you think of thoughts that are sad and unhappy then your whole body tenses. A darkness enters your being. It is hard to rise out of depression when the spiritual nerves tense. The pranas must flow freely.
Then you might ask, what if there is true sorrow? Two nights ago when I first came home to our beloved Kashi, my Chandra Devi told me that our Frank just died, our Frank from our River House. I thought my heart would break and then I remembered when I first met him, how I loved him and how he loved the Mother. I so enjoyed him and was honored to know him. We just loved each other, Mother and son. And so the beauty of that love is still with us all. If you look for the light in the darkness then there becomes a moment when the whole body relaxes and the nerve centers or channels open up ( the Nadis) and the prana flows freely.
I am a Mother who lost so many children due to the AIDS virus. Yet I am a Mother who has been so loved and have had the honor to take care of so many.
When you are wide open and the vital forces are flowing through the channels freely, you can feel the Mother within and She is there to bring the light to the darkness. Do not let your thoughts influence your body. Say your Mantra over and over. Soon you will be able to have your Balancing Chakra Painting and your Mas voice on the CD.
Say over and over till then, and even after then, My Ma loves me, My Ma loves me. You will find your self smiling within. Do not think that your Ma does not say over and over, my Baba loves me, my Swami loves me. I, your Ma loves to repeat those words of love and tenderness.
Let the power of positive thinking vibrate through you this moment. Present to your mind a wonderful image of yourself at the feet of your Guru. Let this image stay in your heart mind all day. Slowly all nerve channels in your body will open and bloom with pranas that are filled with love and energy and of course the Mothers Shakti. There is a great communication between your thoughts and your body. Let your thoughts be of your Guru this day and feel the wonderment of a body and mind free from tension and sadness. I ask the Young Youthful Mother to fill you with Her breath and Her youth. These are my Pujas and these are my Prayers. I love you with all my heart. Love Ma Jai Jungle Kali Ma Ki Jai
