Recap: Healing and Meditation Class at Yoga West with Hari Nam Singh 2019-02-18 – Healing with the Visual Field

Healing with the Visual Field

We held a workshop at Yoga West on February 19, 2019 on the occasion of the full moon.

We performed a 31 minute meditation Drib Dhristi Lochina Karma.
It has an effect of giving one the capacity to heal with the eyes.

In our healing exercises we practiced recognizing and engaging the visual field to heal.

We commonly use the visual field to see objects which we perceive to be outside of ourselves.  If we turn the vision inward, we can open a new channel of perception closely linked to intuition which can merge with our healing space.  So, we are able to “see” structures in our healing relation that we can give attention to and form a healing intention.

When we look outwardly, see see more or less what we expect to see.  When we look inwardly, and renounce all expectations and preconceptions, we can begin see what was previously formless.  It adds a new dimension to our healing.

Listen to the class audio, which begins right at the end of the meditation, with a discussion of the method:

When we renounce all expectations and preconceptions, the inner vision, or “second sight” begins to clarify.  To assist this, we can practice non-reaction:
Meditation: LA907 – Kriya for Non-Reaction

Vision also clarifies when we become aware of (“open”) our third eye:

Today: – ”Align yourself with the flow of reality.  Do not try to control the situation.” – a reading from the I Ching

Align yourself with the flow of reality.  Do not try to control the situation.  Control the mind that produces your inner space.

#2, line 5, #59
Earth above and Earth below:
The Earth contains and sustains.  In this situation, the Superior Person should not take the initiative; he should follow the initiative of another.
Responsive devotion.  Receptive influence.  Sublime Success if you keep to your course.
This is a time for dealing with reality as it is, not as you would have it be.  If you realize that in this situation you are the receptor, not the transmitter of the stimulus, you will find yourself reaching goals that seemed unattainable under your own steam.  If you persist in futile efforts to be the Shaper rather than the Shaped, you will completely miss this unique opportunity.
Yellow is the color of the earth and of the middle; it is the symbol of that which is reliable and genuine. The lower garment is inconspicuously decorated – the symbol of aristocratic reserve. When anyone is called upon to work in a prominent but not independent position, true success depends on the utmost discretion. A man’s genuineness and refinement should not reveal themselves directly; they should express themselves only indirectly as an effect from within.
Walls meant to protect have instead separated and isolated.  Your defenses have kept you apart from those whom you most need to touch.  Whatever the reason for discord between you, it is time to lay down your arms.  Dispel the inflexible demands and fears of the Mind so that you may reunite in the Heart.
If you have begrudged, forgive.
If you have torn down, repair.
If you have injured, heal.
If you have judged, pardon.
If you have grasped, let go.
