Meditation and Sat Nam Rasayan® Healing Workshop with Hari Nam Singh 11/16/2013 – (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 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: Meditations for the Radiant Body

We have ten bodies.  The projection of the radiant Body, the tenth body, determines how other people see us and how we see ourselves.  It can be shiny and protective, or dull and porous.  We also use our Radiant Body to heal.  If it is strong enough, we can heal people with our mere presence.  This is a goal that is our challenge in this age, where so many people need to be healed and there is so little time.

These meditations strengthen, enhance, and polish the Radiant Body.

Healing with the Ten Bodies

Yogic tradition tells us that all consciousness that can be identified has ten bodies.  It is the common denominator  of all beings and collections of beings.  We can approach healing in a very profound and permanent way if we recognize this and relate with the bodies in a contemplative way.  Contemplating a body of an event we can find the story that holds the tendencies of the patient at a very primal level and modify it.  Our workshop will address this proposition and we will practice healing using this method.

Meditation: “Sniff” meditation

Sit cross legged. Place left hand on left knee, in gyan mudra.  With right hand, place thumb on the mound of Mercury (on palm just below the pinkie finger), palm facing your face.  “Sniff” each finger in succession as you silently recite the mantra “Sa Ta Na Ma”, starting with the Jupiter (index) finger.  After the fourth “sniff”, exhale the breath and begin again.

11-31 minutes

This meditation will stimulate your perceptive field and intensify your experience.

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.

The Wolf and the Lamb, an Aesop Fable

A WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf’s right to eat him. He thus addressed him: “Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me.” “Indeed,” bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, “I was not then born.” Then said the Wolf, “You feed in my pasture.” “No, good sir,” replied the Lamb, “I have not yet tasted grass.” Again said the Wolf, “You drink of my well.” “No,” exclaimed the Lamb, “I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother’s milk is both food and drink to me.” Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, “Well! I won’t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations.”  The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

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.
