Lie on your back with knees bent and feet near the buttocks. Take a deep breath and then exhale ALL of the air from your lungs by contracting the abdomen, ribs and chest. Then, while keeping the lungs empty, expand the ribs to the side and thus causing a vacuum that sucks the organs upward. Then push the abdomen out, and pull it in again, over and over until you feel the need to take an inhalation. Continue reading “Y-38 Abdominal Contractions”
From the relaxation position lift the arms so that they go straight out to your sides with the palms facing upward (so that you form a cross). Now without turning your hips or bending your knees, exhale bringing the right hand toward the left foot. It is not important to touch the foot but only to come as close as you can without forcing. Hold that position without breathing and then inhale coming back to the center. Continue reading “Y-54 Standing Torsion or Triangle Pose”
We briefly mentioned in the previous chapters how health, happiness and clarity of mind are all basically a function of how abundantly and harmoniously our energy is flowing through the body and mind. Thus it would be useful for us to discuss briefly the seven centers from which this bioenergy radiates out to all the body, nourishing all the cells and organs of the body with this life creating and sustaining force. Continue reading “A17 Energy Centers & Meditation: How we need to work with our energy centers in order to facilitate our meditations”
Since most of us are still learning primarily through the Law of Karma, let us look in more detail at this subject. For every action there is a reaction. For every result there is a cause. Every impulse must return to its original sender. Nothing happens to us in our lives that is a matter of chance. Every experience, pleasant or unpleasant, is the perfect reflection of our past thoughts, words and actions. Thus there is no such reality as injustice, no excuse for bitterness, envy, jealousy, pride or bitterness, for we are getting exactly what we deserve at every moment. Continue reading “A34 Law of Karma: Every effect has a cause, Every event of our life has a causal factor which can be related in some way to the past”
QUESTIONS WHICH WILL HELP DISCOVER HOW WE ARE CREATING OUR REALITY.
Some may find some of the following questions rather difficult to answer at first or perhaps experience some inner resistance. Others may feel the mind goes blank, or may write down just a few superficial answers. After passing through these initial stages, we will learn to dig deeper and more honestly into the roots of our emotions and behaviours. If we have difficulty writing at first, we can simply begin writing about how we feel at the moment we are sitting there waiting for something to write. How we feel at that moment will be a key to one of our basic obstacles towards this process. We might fear honestly accepting the truth about our personality, or fear accepting responsibility for our lives, or fear change itself. As previously explained, these questions are expressed in the third person so and we can answer in the third person if we choose. They are expressed with the pronoun «she» or «he» simply for convenience and in attempt to be fair to both genders. When we are not satisfied with our initial answers, we can try again after a week or so and then after another week. In this way we will be able to dig deeper and deeper. It might be useful to read through the complete explanation of the questions and sample answers first and then come back to this point and begin to answer them for ourselves. Continue reading “A50 Questionnaire Concerning Attachments: A questionnaire with many sample answers which aid us in perceiving and freeing ourselves from our attachments”
Our present thoughts and feelings are largely determined by the multitude of impressions and messages which we received as children. We are programmed like computers, which then blindly repeat and recreate exactly what they have been programmed to. Just as our minds have been formed through repetition, they can be cleared, and then reformed, by the same power of repetition. Written positive affirmations are an excellent way to reprogram the mind. They serve a dual function. On the one hand they are a diagnostic tool and one other a therapeutic technique. Continue reading “A66 Written Affirmations: A technique for self-diagnosis and self-transformation”
Metamorphosis 2
by Robert Elias Najemy
Five blissful days have passed since my experience with death. When the truck demolished my car, I left my body and experienced my whole life time before me, only to return to it again after a few hours. Continue reading “A82 Life Again after Death: How life changes after a near death experience”
A MODERN MYTH
It was exactly 21 minutes before midnight.
The sky was very dark; no moon,
not even a star. Continue reading “A18 Evolution of Squirrel: This is a parable about a snake which evolves into a squirrel and then into an Owl. It describes our spiritual evolution as the energy flows up through our energy centers”
In this chapter we will continue the questionnaire and the inner search which we started in chapter five on self-analysis.I encourage you to answer these questions for your self as you read along, or return to these questions when you have completed your reading. Each of us has different goals which we would like to fulfil before departing from these physical bodies. We have each chosen to be born for a special purpose. We can never feel totally content and fulfilled in life, until we recognize and begin to live that purpose for which we have incarnated and begin working toward fulfilling it. Many people have no idea why they are here, and wander aimlessly, discontentedly through life, feeling unhappy and dissatisfied. A person who does not know what he wants from life will never be able to concentrate his energies so as to accomplish what is important to him. Each of us will benefit by taking the time to look deeply within ourselves in order to discover what we really want from life. We can then organize our energies and thoughts in such a way as to really attain that for which we have incarnated. We remind you that the questions are expressed and answered in the third person, so that you can get used to the idea of answering in this way, for increased objectivity. Continue reading “A35 Life Alignment: This is a questionnaire with abundant sample answers which guide us to evaluate our lives in align them with our real values”
It is now time to discover and analyze your own feelings and thoughts about life and death. The information in this book is useless unless we can begin to employ it in our lives. Answering the following questions will help you to discover what beliefs, addictions, or fears are preventing you from being able to accept your own death or the death of your loved ones. The same obstacles which prevent us from being able to accept death prevent us from being able to accept the flow of life itself. Life is a series of small deaths of all our attachments.Working on understanding these blockages, will help us to live our lives more fully, more happily and more in harmony with our inner values.
