Sushumna - The Highway to Heaven!

Sushumna is the main psychic channel that runs along the spinal coloumn in the subtler body. When the prana runs through sushumna, the breath flows in both the nostrils. It is the goal of a Yogi/Yogini to get the breath flowing through Sushumna to get relieved from the grip of the mind.

It is easier to be at mental peace when you are in meditative places. The challenge is to keep your inner peace when living a modern city life that may be too demanding. The inner peace is at your hand when the breath flows through sushumna.

There are many yogic practices that force the prana through sushumna. One of the famous mudras is 'Maha mudra' which is a set of hatha yoga poses. This mudra is said to have the power over death. Such is the power of that mudra and it is usually taught under proper supervision in Kriya yoga lineages. If done properly, it prepares the body for the activation of sushumna. Naturally, the prana starts moving through sushumna if one is into a system of meditation that works directly at the subtler levels.

The breath naturally shifts between the left and right nostrils and flows through sushumna for a brief moment. Our goal is to get it flowing through sushumna, most of the times. I would like to introduce a simple technique which would work readily for many. It is possible to shift the flow of breath with the mind itself. The best way to keep the breath flowing through sushumna is to keep the focus/awareness on the bridge between the nostrils. In the picture, I have shaded that region red. The statue seems not to have hole for the nostrils.. Never mind! :) Good luck on the path of self mastery!

Cleanse your mind!

We cleanse our body regularly to get rid of dirt. In the same way, our mind requires cleansing. During the day, we go through different thought forms from human interactions, watching TV, reading newspaper, etc.. All these activities leave some impression in our mind. It becomes vital to cleanse the mind and rest in your own energy to completely heal yourself daily. Your energy is your best healing agent.

One of the simple ways to do this would be to observe the breath. There is a Zen saying.. Sit like a mountain and observe the thoughts as if they are floating clouds. Allowing the thoughts to flow through becomes easy when the awareness is on the breath. If the awareness moves from breath to the thoughts again, bring it back to the breath and settle with your breath.

If you are already into meditation, focus on the gaps between the thoughts, if you could feel it. Stay in the thoughtless state even if it happens for brief moments. Breath also shall be very shallow in that state. One reaches this state with ease if the prana moves through sushumna (breath balanced in both the nostrils). One could even walk and observe the thoughtless state. It is resting in the awareness itself. Rest in yourself and cherish the inner peace!

Be your Magician!

A magician is one who tries to use the elemental energy in his favour and flow through the life accomplishing even the impossible. Impossible is just the term of someone who does not see or feel the subtler realities. A magician tries to see or feel the subtler realities and takes control over the mind and body. There is unlimited possibility in this Earth with its higher dimensional energies flowing through.

You are a being of energy and the body that you hold is not as gross as it looks. It is becoming more and more becoming lighter. With some understanding of the psychic channels and the ways to play with the energy, you could start taking more control over yourself.

The body is like a master switch. The way our consciousness expresses itself in this dimension depends on our body. Our body changes daily, with more of the souls energy pouring in, doing the alterations for it to sustain the high frequencies of the New Age (5th dimensional energy). A good way to start would be to feel the impact of food, the way you feel in different places, the impact of your thoughts, etc.. Putting a drop of blue ink in a glass of plain water will have its impact.. In the same way, everything is energy and everything has an impact on you. It is time that we take responsibility and control over our lives. It is time to shed the limitations!

You are your responsibility!

You are a being of energy and your energy is what reflects in your mind/thoughts. Like the foods having a variety of tastes, different places and people hold a different energy. If you keep your hand in cold water, you feel the chillness. If you immerse your hand in the warm water, you feel the warmth of it. In the same way, we daily go through different frequencies of energies that has impact on our mind and body.

You have your own energy signature which gives you comfort, when you allow it to shine bright. Keeping your energy intact is your responsibility.. You would not harm your body walking on a thorny place without a footwear. In the same way, you have to protect your energy body. A market has a different energy and a temple has a different energy. So, it is our responsibility to select the situations and places where we want to be. The people you relate with will also will have a direct impact. Your energy body gets strengthened and protected when it is properly grounded. Also the food that we eat matters a lot. Selecting foods that would digest quicker with less strain on the system shall allow you to hold your energy signature beautifully. Hold your own light!

DNA Activation with Sound Frequencies

Human DNA has been created and programmed to get activated to its full potential, with all the 12 strands coming into full activity as the vibration of the planet increases to the 5th Dimensional frequency. Already many are undergoing ascension symptoms and intense activation energies as high frequency energies are sweeping through.

This process could be accelerated and the ascension symptoms facilitated without much of physical and mental stress by using some coded sounds or frequencies of sound that come from higher dimensions to help us. These frequencies have the capability to awaken and guide us along the path of ascension.

You could access some of the beautiful and powerful frequencies for free from here:

If you are interested in knowing more about the creation process and the origins of human DNA, Judy Satori's book 'Sunshine Before The Dawn' would be a treasure.

Happy Ascension!

You are Divine!

You are a divine being and you are already in tune with higher dimensions.

When you are perceiving sounds with closed ears (inside the head), seeing lights with closed eyes and feeling the energy.. it marks the connection to the higher dimensions.

In your dream state, you are beyond the third dimension. A spark of intuition always comes from a higher dimension.

To strengthen the connection with the higher dimensions, we have to work on the connection itself. If you are more sensitive to the energy, you could be aware of your energy body at all times. If you could see lights, you could spend more time on that during meditation. One can be constantly be aware of the inner sounds, amidst the external noise.

Staying tuned to the higher dimensions shall accelerate your personal shift!

Working with Earth star chakra!

Earth star chakra is a transpersonal chakra located below the soles of the feet. With the ascension energies, the transpersonal chakras could be easily activated and the energy flow strengthened. When the Earth star chakra gets activated, it may have impact on the Soul star chakra and vice versa.

The Earth star chakra anchors us strongly to the Earth. It makes us grounded! The stones that are black in colour, mostly work on the Earth star chakra, like black tourmaline, smoky quartz and black obsidian. Iron also strongly connects to the Earth star chakra.

When we connect with this chakra, we may feel the body getting more strengthened with the elemental energy of Earth. It also brings up deeper issues (emotional/physical) for us to face and heal. If the heart chakra and the higher chakras are open enough, one could bravely face those issues.. It is our own garbage and we have to face it sometime and heal! :) When we work with this chakra, we also connect with the collective consciousness. When we heal our personal issues, we shall be able to become better anchors of light. Opening up the Soul star and the Earth star chakras shall make us wonderful pillars of light..

If the earth element dominates, it may even constipate the physical body (this happens easily if the water element in the environment is less - warm regions; it is easier to feel earth on warm days). It would be wonderful to balance the earth element with water element. I prefer copper for that. Stones like moonstone and amethyst also would help with their water element. Water keeps everything flowing! If it gets too difficult to handle, take off grounding stones. When you are prepared enough, bravely wear it again! ha ha.. Have fun!

Sun - The Powerful Healer

The personal shift/spiritual progress happens when the psychic channels are forcefully opened up with a powerful flow of energy.

There might be many ways of doing that. When practices like kriya pranayama is performed, it transforms the sexual fluids and fuels the subtler body. The same is achieved in sacred union if one knows how to play with the energy. This is moving the creative force from lower chakras to the higher chakras.

Sun is a powerful source of energy which can be utilized to forcefully clear the energetic blockages and raise the vibration of the body. In this process, we pull the supreme source of energy from the top to bottom. One can consciously pull the energy inside, with closed eyes. It is more effective when Sun gazing is practiced.

It is very important to properly ground the energy when sun gazing is practiced. Walking barefoot shall help. Wearing copper also shall help in the process.

Caution working with metals and crystals

It is very essential to be cautious when working with metals and crystals. Each metal and crystal has its own elemental energy - Earth, Water, Fire or Air. Some crystals and metals have a combination of these elemental energy.

Our human body is a wonderful system which has all these elemental energy in a beautiful balance. Disease appears when this balance is disrupted. Each chakra corresponds to an elemental energy. Earth - Mooladhara/First chakra; Water - Swadisthana/Second chakra; Fire - Manipura/Solar plexus; Air - Anahata/Heart chakra, Akash - Visuddha/Throat chakra. It is at the Ajna/Brow chakra the duality is transcended and it is where the ida and pingala merge with sushumna (the psychic channels; Sushumna is the major central channel, also called as the highway to heaven). Saharara - Crown chakra is where the complete merging with the formless happens.

When we work with the elemental energy, we impact the chakras and the energy flow in the body. So, when using any crystal or metals, please keep in mind that it is more like a medicine and use it with caution, listening to your body intuitively.

Metaphysical or Magical Properties of Iron

Like crystals, metals have their unique nature and elemental energy. It is powerful and wonderful to work with metals. Iron has a very strong fire element which corresponds to Mars. The core of our Earth is also of molten iron. So, iron powerfully grounds and anchors us to the Earth.

Citrine also has a strong fire element and iron pyrite also has a strong fire element. But, the fire element of iron is completely different. The elemental energy of crystals feel like a wave of light and the elemental energy of metals feel like a rush of flowing water, more tangible. If one is sensitive to the energy, feeling the energy of metals will be a very easy task. I feel that the metals are more potent in making the energy flow, compared to crystals.

Though both Iron and Steel are said to correspond to the planet Mars, steel which is not much attracted to a magnet has a different nature. Iron is more powerful and the fire is raw and hot. Steel seems to have more earth and less fire. I prefer iron to work with, if I need fire. When I need strong connection to Earth with less fire, I prefer steel. Fire element has the ability to protect, energize and makes one very self confident and strong. Especially those who are ruled by water element, astrologically, may feel comforted by the fire element at tough times. It applies in general for sensitive individuals. It is a projective and protective elemental energy. If there is too much of emotional turmoil, fire element shall stabilize it immediately. Also, those who are affected by the phases of moon, emotionally, will find the fire element very comforting. Also, it strengthens the body and improves health. Our blood has heme, the ferrous component.. It adds fire to the whole of the being.

Iron has been used in many cultures. The horse shoe of iron is considered to be protective and people hanged it on their doors. Some make rings from the horse shoe metal and wear it. It is just the metal that matters and not the form. When it is close to the body, within the aura, it works beautifully.

I prefer to hang the metals and crystals close to my heart chakra, where I feel it very powerful. You could give a try with any small piece of iron you have at home.. A simple bolt or nut would do. If you want to confirm that the metal is iron, a magnet would help! :) The size matters. If you find the energy too powerful on you, it is good to reduce the size/weight of metal. When playing with the elemental energy, experiment and have fun and also be cautious. It can bring greater balance or throw one out of balance. If you are sensitive, you shall intuitively know and get a feel of it with a little experiment. When experimenting with any metal or crystal, if you are wearing any other metal or crystal, you may have to take it off, to know exactly how a specific metal or crystal works on you. Have fun! 

The Magic of Breathless State (a samadhi)

Breathless state is a type of samadhi in which the breath is almost in a suspended state. As the energy body opens up, the prana starts moving through the sushumna (the central psychic pathway) in a powerful way. It is at that stage, the breath becomes feeble and one can enter states of breathless state. When the prana flows through sushumna, you can feel the air flowing through both the nostrils. It is quite easy to feel.. There is no magic or something that cannot be proven.

Ways to open up psychic pathways: Some of the powerful ways to work with the psychic pathways requires one go subtle. Kriya pranayama, which is one of the techniques of Kriya yoga works directly with the psychic pathway. If you are able to feel and work with the whole of your subtler energy body (as in Vipassana), that also opens up the sushumna in a wonderful way. To feel the energy body, one has to initially work with breath. Working with the breath is a whole system in itself and can give wonderful results.

Working with the breath: Keep your mind inside the nostrils and feel the touch sensation of the air moving inside the nostrils. There is no need to move in and out with the breath. Let the awareness be still on the touch sensation. Feeling the sensation of the touch is the importance here. It is a wonderful way to meditate. You stay with the reality, not imagining something. If the mind wanders away, just get it back. You can do this at all times and not only when you sit to meditate. But, sitting for a meditation greatly helps in making a quick progress. Observing the breath at all times is very important to get established in the technique. As you keep on observing the breath, you shall feel the breath getting more and more feeble and it shall settle down. At that stage, stay feeling the gap between the breaths. Gradually the gap between the breath shall increase and take you into deeper levels of stillness. Just stay in that stillness, observing the suspended state of breath. You can do this amidst your daily core of activities. Practising it at all times is the secret to quick success.

Don't expect any magic to happen in a day or two. Have patience and practice regularly. Food is an important factor. Be aware of what you feed the body.

A wonderful writing from a breatharian, that may inspire you: http://www.ethereallights.com/breathless.html

When one is in a breathless state, more of cosmic energy enters the being and the transformation/shift happens.

Sun gazing for superiour health and spiritual evolution

Sun is the most powerful source of prana (cosmic energy) available to us to get our body and mind transformed in a very short time.

We are in the process of shifting from the 3rd/4th dimensional vibration to the 5th dimensional vibration. Our entire solar system is inside the photonic belt and is helping the Earth increase her vibration. So, it is very easy for us, the residents of the Earth, to increase the vibration of our physical vehicle.

Sun is already vibrating at a very high frequency. When this high frequency energy is properly taken inside the body and digested, it can bring great transformation in a very short time.

It can activate the pituitary and pineal and energize whole of our energy body which will naturally take care of the physical health and spiritual progress. Once the psychic pathways are properly open, nectar (soma) starts secreting inside the head and drips down which tastes sweet. This transforms the body and may pave way to immortality. Remember that you are already immortal as a spirit. Only the body that you have inhabited is mortal.

Sun gazing has to be practised in the safe hours, that is within 1 hour after the sun rise and during the last 1 hour of the sunset.

The procedure:

Sit or stand in a comfortable way, with spine erect. With open eyes, directly look at the sun for a short duration (say 30 seconds) and the close your eyes. Feel the energy inside the head. It will move inside and energize your entire body. Then, again open your eyes and look at the sun for a short duration and then close your eyes allowing the body to digest it.. Gradually increase the duration.

I shall give a few links at the end of the post for detailed instructions from some advanced yogis that are practising sun gazing. Follow your intuition and gradually increase the gazing duration.

There may be some discomfort in the eyes. But, with regular practice, such symptoms may get away within a week or two.

If you are too sensitive to the energy of the sun and are not able to see the sun directly, it is better to watch the bright clouds. Later on, your eyes may get adjusted to look at the sun or you may just continue to gaze the clouds. You can even watch the bright clouds during the middle of the day. Advanced sun yogis watch even the sun during middle of the day. But, dont try such things to be on the safer side... not atleast in the initial stages of your practice.

If you have been into meditation and have the ability to feel the energy body, you can easily feel how the energy moves and energizes whole of your energy body. In the first few days, you may feel the energy raw and very powerful in the solar plexus region. Gradually, you shall start getting recharged like a battery. There may be strong currents of energy moving along your spine and these are all positive signs that your body is properly getting adjusted and utilizing the sun light.

Make sure you are not wearing any contact lens or glasses while doing sun gazing. And finally, practice at your own risk. Each one's physical body is unique. Only you could find if it suits you or not.

If you have physical pain...

As we shift with the ascension energies, our bodies are becoming more and more sensitive.. So, it

Pyrite

is our responsibility to understand the elements and use them in our favour. Each food/crystal/metal has a elemental energy - earth/water/fire/air.

With the help of a crystal or a metal, we can easily get into a better balance or can even get out of balance. So, it is very vital to be aware of the crystals that we keep close or wear.

If the fire element goes out of balance and dominates your system, it may create physical pain and also may make you less receptive. Gold, pyrite, citrine are few of the metals/crystals that have a strong fire element. Use them cautiously.
Citrine and pyrite are very good for psychic protection and purification of your energy body. If you are sensitive to the energy, you shall know when it is too much.. If you wear crystals regularly, balance the elements according to the need of your body/bodies.

Moonstone/silver/amethyst have a dominant water element. So, if you are thrown out of balance by a powerful fire element, water element may bring back the balance.

Copper makes the energy flow through the body and it would also help regain the balance. Combine the crystals, only if you are aware of its energy and know for sure what it does. 

Copper - A Magical Metal!!

Crystals and metals have got their unique metaphysical value. Whether you are aware of it or not,

the metals and crystals that are within your energy body will impact your mind and body.

Copper is known for its magical and healing abilities. As the frequency is on an increase, your body may require help getting adjusted to the higher frequencies. If you are having problem grounding your energies, instead of using a grounding stone, you could consider using copper, which is really awesome!

If you feel your head heavy or too much energy concentrated in one part of the body, it may be because of a poor flow of energy. When the energy flows properly through your body, you feel healthy and blissful. Our responsibility is just to keep the energy/spirit flow through the body properly. The rest, happens on its own, the shift of consciousness!

If you are already working with a metal or a crystal, try giving a trial to copper alone. Once you get the feel of copper, you shall know how other crystals gets along with it. I prefer to wear copper alone and I love it.

Keeping water overnight in a copper jar and having it in the morning is also a good idea! If you are using a copper jar, make sure it is free of that green discolouration. If you immerse it in tamarind water and leave it for a while, it will shine like a new one!

Have a good time with copper!! It is a bliss, to be with copper!!

Mental Conditioning and Psychic Pathways

Functioning with a lot of mental conditioning is more like a programmed computer. One experiences inner peace and the spontaneous functioning, when one rests in the emptiness or lives in the NOW.

If you are battling with the thoughts of past and future, know that you are not living in the present. If you want to experience deep inner peace and just flow with life, working with your psychic pathway becomes necessary.

If you observe your breath, you shall find that the air flows through either the left or the right nostril. It keeps on shifting between both the nostrils. For a very brief period, it may flow through both the nostrils around the shifting phase. There are three major psychic pathways (Nadis) which are part of your subtler body. When the prana (energy) flows through the ida (left channel), the breath flows through the left nostril. When it flows through pingala (right channel), the breath flows through the right nostril. When the breath flows through both the nostrils, then the prana is moving through the central channel or sushumna. Sushumna is called the highway to heaven.

The goal of each and every yogi and yogini is to make the breath flow through the central channel. It is the true state of meditation. You cannot meditate. You have to fall into the state of meditation. As long as you try, it is not meditation. When meditation happens, you experience it. Staying in a meditative state, is being an observer and flow with life! To flow with life, you have to make the prana move through sushumna!

How to achieve that state? Working with your subtler body is the only way to go!! No shortcuts!!

Observing the breath will make the mind subtle.. When the mind becomes subtle, you can experience your own subtler body and be able to work with your psychic pathways.

  

Crystals for Harmonious Life!!

Our life would be harmonious, when we stay at a higher vibration, grounding the spirit properly in the body! If you know how to increase the vibration and ground yourself in the body, everything happens on its own!! The energy that flows through you, takes care of the shift!!

Crystals fall under two categories. They are either projective or receptive! Projective stones promote self-confidence, makes you outgoing and helps in healing others. Stones like citrine and pyrite are projective.

Receptive stones help you make your inner journey and heal yourself! They expand you!! Makes you more receptive to the frequencies that help you and increases your sensitivity, promoting psychic powers! Stones like Amethyst and Moonstone are powerful receptive stones.

A strong projective stone may help you burst open your psychic channels for the flow to happen! They purify you with the fire element! A receptive stone draws the energy inside, for your progress! Both are equally important! If your flow is good, you can consider to use more of receptive stones! When you need a strong psychic protection and purify your mind, you may reach to your fire element stones!

Though Amethyst is a receptive stone, it also gives a wonderful pyschic protection, by keeping your vibration high! When you vibrate at a higher frequency, being grounded is very important, to stay protected and stable!

When you are at a higher vibration, the mundane worldly problems don't bother you! You live in a different world altogether! You still participate in the world, not being drowned by it! Participating in this world, fully engaging yourself in the activity you love, is always fun, when you are at a higher vibration! When you step-up your vibration, the universe takes care of you! YOU ARE LOVED!!

YOU are flowing through your body!!

Your experience of your life and this planet is based on your expression/flow through your physical body. YES!! You are experiencing this world through physical body and you are not this body! There are psychic pathways through which the spirit runs into the matter! If your psychic pathways/nadi's are more open, you allow yourself to flow more through this body! More the flow, happier your life and easy going you are, in a blissful state!

When the flow is continuous, as you allow more and more light to pass through, your physical body undergoes transformation and you would anchor heaven on earth!

As the spirit is flowing through the body, they are both deeply related and continuously evolve!
