Morning Pujas and Prayers
August 23, 2009
Namaste my chelas all over the world.
When you can honor all that is in you whether it is dark or light you become greater than all emotions.
With a deeper sense of confidence in your self my chelas, you can conquer all things dark and light, I WILL TEACH YOU, I WILL BE HONORED TO TEACH YOU THE WAY YOUR BABA TAUGHT AND IS TEACHING ME.
At times you do not want to close your eyes, so keep them open and get the very essence of the breath come to your mind in unison with love moment by moment merging into each other in a open field of awareness.
This is definitely possible.
When you merge with all that is in you, you will be surprised how you are embracing all of your being beyond your ideas of your self, making room for this moment to be exactly as it is.
Do not label this moment in any way.
You are just a human being becoming aware.
Let the breath cradle the being that we call our selves.
Embrace this being in its entirety.
You are the Mother of all your thoughts.
Bring your feelings close to you and your breath.
See how you feel.
Bring your breath close to your breath in its openness and its own vulnerability.
Rocking back and forth with your breath.
You are completely open with your breath with tenderness and kindness.
Give yourself permission to be ok as you are this very moment.
Let go of the past, as the Mother is with Her child let go of the past.
You have no need to hold on to the past or thoughts of the past.
Dwell in this moment complete in itself.
It is secure in itself.
Your breath is robust in the embrace of your breath.
SUMMER BREATH FOUR————–HEART BREATH OF TRUTH AND LOVE.
Take the moment, yes take the moment, make it yours yet do not try to hold on to it.
Breathe into the center of your chest, filling the chest cavity with fearless breath.
Hold the breath gently allowing yourself to open as best as you can.
Breathe out slowly, very slowly focus on the breath leaving the chest cavity.
The sounds around you can be felt by you as a wave.
This is working with sound.
The sound becomes a part of you and you learn after a time you can include the sounds in your meditation.
The ego mind sends thoughts like IF ONLY I HAD THIS OR THAT.
This is called the IF ONLY MIND.
The if only mind tells you if only i had this or that.
It is always about what you think you want and do not have
George Bernard Shaw said there are two great disappointments in your life not getting what you want or getting it.
As you are watching your breath think of the wanting mind.
As you acknowledge wanting you see the mind what it is.
The energies that arise can be made interesting by bowing internally to all things.
You can bow before you eat or go to sleep or many things.
The aspect of the mind that brings resistance can be recognized at times with mercy or kindness
Hold the moment in the care of your attention.
Wanting to come back to your breath brings you a string of judgments.
Say to yourself THERE IS THE JUDGING MIND.
The ego sends thoughts that seem that you should not have.
When sleepiness comes to you, notice how long it lasts.
Do not be intimidated by the sleepiness.
My Baba told me to go and sit by the edge of the well.
The well is deep and you are afraid of falling into the well.
So you sit very still.
The mind tells you that you will be falling into the well.
All these thoughts that say YOU CAN NOT BE HERE.
The ego brings the doubting mind.
Simply bow and say thank you and go on watching your breath.
Bow and acknowledge the doubting mind.
Bowing to the doubting mind dissolves the doubting thoughts.
Gradually you become tired of the stories of doubt.
When your ego sends these thoughts of doubt try to make yourself peaceful by watching the breath.
All this information your Guru Mother is giving you feels like it will take such a long time.
It takes only a few seconds.
Breath out and notice it has not been terribly long.
Feeling the next breath can help you to quiet the mind and soften the heart.
Breathe in again and let the awareness be spacious and easy.
Notice the sounds, receiving them in the body.
Rest peacefully in the present moment, breath and body.
It is quiet easy.
Feel the natural rhythm of the breath.
If there are thoughts that carry you away from the moment just keep breathing with awareness.
In other words if you are feeling restless, say to yourself RESTLESS, RESTLESS, RESTLESS.
Return back to the breath.
My chelas you can not make a mistake.
Name your thoughts softly.
Doubting.
Planning
Sounds
Being uncomfortable.
Thoughts come and go, breath comes and go, doubts come and go.
Label them.
These are your chosen thoughts.
Practice with the moods that are present right now.
What mood is present right now.
Give it space to open or change as it will.
Notice what happens as you bring your awareness to the mood you are in.
Remember acknowledge the mood.
Restless.
Tired
Thinking and so forth and so on.
Breathe in deeply and gently feeling the breath.
Are you breathing in words or picture thoughts.
Gently name them THINKING THINKING PLANNING PLANNING.
Notice what happens as you meet them with awareness.
It becomes very exciting as you learn more and more to label your moods and your thoughts.
You are stronger than your ego.
I know that this is a strange thought.
So many tell me MA I AM LOST IN THOUGHT WHAT SHOULD I DO?
What matters is that you recognize OH I AM THINKING.
This moment you are given a choice to dive deeper into the thoughts or just let the thoughts go gently.
Now you are breathing in and out of your chest.
The naming of the thoughts just lets you become aware of what is happening in the moment.
From the heart chakra we will go into the throat chakra breathing in you know you are gently breathing in, breathing out you know you are breathing out.
Again label the breaths and the feelings.
No big deal, just calmness and noticing.
Then the third eye.
Breathe in and out of the third eye.
Looking up into the center of your forehead you are beginning to feel a little bit in control.
It feels wonderful.
You are wonderful.
Stay in the third eye for five breaths in and out.
Now breathe into the base of the spine.
Guide your breath into the base of your spine.
See what you feel.
Feel what you feel.
Love what you feel.
Never get angry how you feel.
It is just a way to see and feel the breath like never before.
The second chakra invites you to breathe in and out of the flowers of your second chakra.
The same with the third chakra and then once again into the fourth chakra of the heart center.
No fear.
Just love and truth.
You are breathing in and out of your chakras in a way you never thought you could.
Some times the theme of your meditation will be sorrow or sleepiness.
Do not be afraid of what ever feelings that come up in meditation.
It is a new road a fabulous road.
We are doing it together and I promise you I will not let anything hurt you or take your breath away
Some times you may weep deeply and that is fine, you probably have not meditated for a little while.
When there is a thought that comes over and over, give it a soft name.
It wants to be acknowledged
Perhaps it is feelings that want you to make a peaceful heart.
You can do this.
It may take a little time but I promise you can do it.
You will find some way through your own awareness to hear the story that your mind tells
Using the breath in the center of your awareness you are growing more and more whether you are meditating for 10 years or fifty years or just starting.
This is love and kindness.
THIS IS THE HEART BREATH OF LOVE AND TRUTH
We will learn together.
We will dance together
We will love together.
Take the breath and do this meditation for five times.
When you are finished then just sit in your own beauty becoming more and more aware of life and sounds all around you living breathing loving and the sound of truths
Your truths.
Truths that do not hurt another or your self.
This breath quiets your mind and frees you.
I am so proud of you all.
