Meditation and Sat Nam Rasayan® Healing Workshop with Hari Nam Singh 03/29/2014 – “Healing the Perception” – (Review)

We held a Meditation and Sat Nam Rasayan® Healing Workshop with Hari Nam Singh at the Healing Heart Center in Hollywood. The topic of the workshop was “Healing the Perception”.  Many conditions can be healed simply by a shift or a broadening of perception.  We practiced several exercises that helped the patient “see” their irritations differently and dilute the anxiety they bring.

We held a Meditation and Sat Nam Rasayan® Healing Workshop with Hari Nam Singh at the Healing Heart Center in Hollywood. The topic of the workshop was Healing in a Non-Dualistic Space.  

 

Workshop Audio:    

In our conventional awareness our direct perception is contaminated with countless references to forms that are external to our experience in the moment.  We compare our experience with those references causing us to separate from the experience and dilute reality.  We tend to make the assumption that the reference is the reality.

Through meditation we produced a state of trance and centered our awareness beyond the confines of time and space.  In the healing exercises we stabilized the aspect of enlightenment  observing the relation and healing from this vantage.

Meditation and Healing Workshop July 20, 2013 with Hari Nam Singh at the Healing Heart Center (Review)

We held a Meditation and Sat Nam Rasayan® Healing Workshop with Hari Nam Singh at the Healing Heart Center in Hollywood. The topic of the workshop was Healing with the Elements.

Meditation: Initiate an Intuitive Existence

Meditation: Sniff Meditation

Meditation: BlowYour Mind

The Elements are a system of forms that we can use in a healing relation.  They are Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether.  An assumption of using elements to heal is that any system can be described completely by the composition of elements present in the system.  Our mortal incarnation can be described physically as a collection of elements held together by our prana.  When the prana can no longer hold the elements together, they disperse, and we expire.

How elements are combined can describe conditions of imbalance or disease.  Too much of one or more elements and a lack of others can produce a condition of imbalance in the body, in the mind, or perhaps in a relationship between a person and someone or something else.  Bringing the composition of elements into balance can remove the tendency of the condition.

The way we use elements to heal is simply to include them in the healing relation.  We relate with elements in the same way that we relate with the event.  We find how we are affected in our perceptive field by our intention to include one or more elements.  It is the same intuitive process that we use for all healing.  We do not need to conceptualize nor visualize an element as an object or static property, but rather look inside our perceptive field to find how we are affected in relation with it.  Those effects are the reality of the process.  Any preconceptions of an element that come from outside of the experience only serve to limit the experience and dilute the effect.  The use of elements has an immediate and strong impact on the healing relation.  We use them to effect quick results where the precision of other contemplative forms is not required.

Highlights of the experience.

It is Ten Years Today…

…since the start of the Iraq War.  Last week my family listened to Rachel Maddow comment on war in our time when she visited Los Angeles.  Neither a pacifist nor a war hawk, Rachel shared her thoughts on why it our nation has a propensity for engaging in perpetual war.  She has written a book entitled Drift: The Unmooring of American Military Power.  It is an American political history of America’s most recent wars.  In her address she described her motivations for writing the book and described some aspects of its context.

Here I would like to share some highlights.

“Lincoln” the Movie (and a healing workshop)

“Lincoln”, the movie produced by Steven Spielberg, is a story for our time.  It portrays how a relatively small group of people, known as the House of Representatives, who held the public trust during Lincoln’s administration, were consigned the task of deliberating a very large question.  The situation that they contemplated manifested as the largest storm that has ever enveloped the land and the consciousness of the people of the United States, the War Between the States.   They deliberated whether to abolish slavery.  Lincoln’s vision of governance was simple.  He stated in perhaps his most famous speech that his prayer and firm intention was  “…that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth”.  Under Lincoln’s leadership they resolved that the Constitution was to be amended to abolish slavery for all time, the Thirteenth Amendment.   That legislation has had profound and far reaching social, political and economic consequences to this day.

It’s not too big of a stretch to compare this scenario with what we are facing today in the United States.  We have witnessed one of the largest political storms in memory that was the election held last week.  The hurricane Sandy physically devastated a region of the country.  Record numbers of people are living in poverty, in the richest country on the planet.  The list of such factors contributing to our situation is long.  Exacerbating the problem is that there has been a growing pressure on the nation’s psyche to continue to produce these conditions using instruments of fear, intimidation, and subjugation.  And the collective psyche has permitted and accommodated this pressure.  Why?

It’s easy to point to two obvious motivators, greed and fear.  Greed is a dominant quality of oppressors and fear tends to keep the oppressed where they are.  Underlying these, however, is ignorance.  It isn’t just that there is no sense of fairness or justice.  These are principles that an enlightened people will employ in their governance, but they are still relative.  The declaration “…that all men are created equal” is really preceded by “we are all the same”.

The lack of that realization was a root cause of the Civil War.  The assumption that there is some fundamental defining difference between individuals produced contempt.  It produced a perception of superior and inferior.  It produced slavery.  It produced economies that were based on slavery.  When those closely held perceptions and economies were challenged, it produced hatred.  The challenge also produced some form of that realization in those people who were consigned the task of deciding the slavery issue.  There were intense forces that resisted any change in the status quo.  The political battle that ensued reflected the war that was being waged on the battlefield.  As in the war, courage prevailed and the law became an embodiment of that realization.  Still, after 150 years, some hatred has persisted.

We have come to the point where that battle is being litigated again.  The same contempt born of the same assumption of difference has produced the same perceptions of superior and inferior.  This time, instead of just race, it is based also on the status resulting from one’s relative accumulation of material wealth.  A new economic subjugation has been evolving where wage earners do not make a living wage, even if they are fully employed.  The social “safety net” is under attack, leaving a majority of people more vulnerable to financial ruin, and some, even death in the face of catastrophic events.  Shared participation has given way to purchased representation.  A new civil war has broken out that is being waged in the channels of communication.  It is a war whose major weapon is chaos.  The very language used to describe this war has been a casualty.  The so-called makers are becoming the new takers.

Fortunately, the structure that saved the nation from the first Civil War still exists in some fashion.  We have the same governing body whose members will be consigned the task to deliberate pretty much the same question.  And, again, we have a President who understands the big question, even if he personally does not have the definitive answer.  In his own words, President Obama has distilled the words of Lincoln to their essence: “We are all in this together”.

What can we do about any of this?  This Saturday, we will research how to heal this situation at the Healing Workshop at the Healing Heart Center.  To heal something of this magnitude, or anything, for that matter, it is important not to take a position.   Politics is sometimes useful as a social tool to describe a situation or to litigate it as a participant in the process.  We have already voted, so our political role has been fulfilled.  What can we do as healers?
