We must change our belief system

Our belief system plays a very important role in the way we perceive our environment and therefore are instrumental in forming our version of reality which  in turn affects our decisions, responses and actions.

Many of us live our entire life with certain beliefs and therefore are never able to experience reality as it is. These beliefs also creates several mental blocks and limitations to our performance in life.

For example when I decided to quit my job and start my own business in consulting, quite a few people advised me against this saying that You better stick to your job. Gujarati, Sindhi Marwadi or Punjabi people are more suited for business. Job is a safer option for you.

Luckily I don’t haven’t that belief, so I took the plunge but all those who live with such beliefs would never even attempt to start their own venture even when an opportunity would come by.

You might be aware that large elephants are tied up with a small chain tied to their legs. They are actually powerful enough to break that chain and gain freedom but they don’t even try. This is because they have been tied that ways since their infancy and so have developed a belief that it is impossible for them to break the chain.

We too, like that elephant have probables developed hundreds of such beliefs over the years and quite possibly we aren’t even aware that these are simply beliefs and not reality.

In our childhood we start believing that we will catch a cold if we get drenched in the rain and then that’s how our reality gets shaped.

A few common life related beliefs that I have seen people have, are :

  1. Everybody cannot get everything in life.
  2. One has to struggle in life
  3. One cannot become successful without putting in too much effort.
  4. It’s not possible to become rich overnight.
  5. Formal education is a must to be successful in life.
  6. My 10th standard marks are bad so my career prospects are finished.
  7. Problems always appear at the last moment
  8. Certain things take long time to heal Etc etc etc..

Trust me, each of this belief becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Therefore, the sooner we break these beliefs, the better for us. People who believe that effort is required to succeed, often are not able to see the easier or effortless path to success since they are blinded by their wrong belief system. People who believe that they take time to heal will essentially take longer to heal.

Positive beliefs that I would choose to live with are:

  1. I am lucky
  2. Good things happen to be
  3. Miracles do happen
  4. It is possible to become very rich
  5. People are usually helpful
  6. I heal myself quickly
  7. life is smooth and effortless
  8. Every problem has a solution  etc..etc.

I suggest that we must spend time regularly trying to assess our beliefs and check which of these are useful to us and which are counterproductive. We must then replace the bad ones with positive beliefs. This can have a tremendous impact on the way we create our future.

Severe Leg and Back Pain vanished within a day.

I recently had a very interesting experience of healing a lady who was suffering from severe leg and back pain and had almost become restricted to her bed for a couple of months.

One day our housemaid mentioned to my wife that her sister in law was suffering from severe pain in her leg and back was unable to walk. My wife told her that I would help her out but at that time I was continuously traveling for various training assignments for days together, and this slipped off my mind.

In the meanwhile this lady consulted various doctors and underwent treatment without getting any relief. Her condition had become so bad that finally she completely stopped going to work and was restricted to her home. She could barely walk from her bed and had intense pain. Doctors suggested MRI scan, CT scan and various other tests. However, none of these could lead to any diagnosis. She also tried massage therapy and several other treatments without any results and finally was dependent on pain killers daily.

One day, when I was back from a hectic training schedule, my housemaid reminded me of her sister in law and told me that now it was more than 2 months that she was in pain and had not even gone to her office. Since my housemaid herself had experienced the power of this healing method (in 2016, she was the first person I had tried this on) , she requested me to help her sister in law without any further delay.

I went to her place the same day and did a healing session for her leg and back for about 20 Minutes. I used both techniques i.e. Listening to the Body’s energy field using my palms as well as the Heart Energy Healing  for 10 minutes each. Though I was feeling very strong vibrations and signals in my palms,  she was not feeling any change inside  her body nor any relief.  I almost felt that this was not going o work for her. I asked her to wait for 1 day and let me know what happens next morning.

Surprisingly next day she told me that she was able to walk properly and almost 70-80 % pain had disappeared. I realized that the treatment was working and did one more session for about 15 minutes the next day. The very next day she told me that she was perfectly normal and immediately resumed her duties at her workplace.  People at her home were amazed since after suffering so badly for more than 2 months and after trying several treatments, none of which worked, this simple method of healing could get her back on her feet in just 2 consecutive short sessions done over 2 days.

My house maid still believes that I have god’s gift of healing and I keep telling her that this is something that anyone and everyone can easily learn and practice.  If this story excites you about the power of this healing method, what are you waiting for … Learn this immediately and become a healer.

SMART Goals

In my earlier post, I have written about the importance of setting goals. However simply writing goals will not help if goals are not SMART.

Goals that are not smart are more or less like dreams or desires, not goals. Goals essentially need to be SMART for them to get converted into reality.

Let’s try to understand what SMART means along with an example. Years ago, I was conducting a session on goal setting and I casually asked a participant about any of his personal goals. He thought for a while and said that one of his personal goal was to buy a house. After he shared that, he looked at me, and observing the expression on my face, asked me why I wasn’t happy with his response.

Then I told him that his goal was very vaguely defined and that he should make it SMART. Then I went on to explain how he could make it SMART.

SMART stands for

S = Specific

M = Measurable

A = Attainable

R = Relevant

T = Time bound

Then I started helping him to make his goal smart.

I asked him what SPECIFIC type of house he wanted.. Dis he want an Apartment, a Row house, a Bungalow? Was it supposed to be a One Bedroom Apartment, a Two Bedroom apartment or a Studio apartment. If a Bungalow, would it be a single type or a duplex. He told me that he wanted a 2 Bedroom Hall Kitchen apartment.

Then I asked him to make his goal measurable. I asked him what should be the area of his 2BHK flat. Would it be 800 Sq ft, 1000 Sq ft or 1200 Sq ft. He said approx 1000.. Then I asked him which floor (since floor rise affects the rate. How far from the nearest railway station etc. Since that would also affect the price. Basically we were making it measurable.

Then I asked him to check if this goal was Attainable based on his current source of income, ability to get a loan, current cash at hand etc..

I also asked him to check if this goal was relevant to his life considering his job, future plans, suitability for the next 10-20 years etc. (I know one person who put in his entire investment in buying a flat that he has never lived in since his job would get him transferred to different places. In addition, property prices didn’t rise as expected so his investment did not increase in value as compared to what it would be have if it was still invested in mutual funds or shares.)

Finally I asked him to make it time bound. When did he actually want possession of the flat. I asked him to put a Year, Month and date to it.

Finally I asked him to read out his goal statement and check if it was SMART now after all the additions.

As mentioned earlier, goals that are not smart are like dreams.

So, if you haven’t written your goals in this format, it’s never too late to make your goals SMART. Good luck!!

Heart Energy Healing: Severe Neck pain gone in minutes

I have a very interesting experience in healing sever neck pain that I would like to share with you. In December 2016, I was at Delhi for conducting a training workshop for Reliance General Insurance and during our tea break, I told participants about the healing that I do, and asked if anyone had any health issues that I could help them with. One person who had severe neck pain approached me and I started working on him using the Heart Energy Healing method.

I told him to sit comfortably on a chair about 2-3 feet in front of me. After sending him healing energy of love from my heart chakra for about 5 minutes, I asked him to check and he was surprised to find that he was able to move his neck comfortably towards the left and then to his right and the pain had completely vanished.

He then asked me whether I had touched his neck during the process. When I replied in the negative and told him that all the time I was standing a couple of feet away from him, he was shocked and told me that he actually felt a pair of hands grab his neck from behind, pull his entire head up forcefully and set in place the upper bones of his spine, after which the neck had become free and pain had vanished. All the time he was thinking that I was doing it with my hands.

We both realized that there was something else at play here and someone or something beyond me was present there quietly doing whatever was required to heal the problem.

He was delighted to find that the severe pain that he had for several months had vanished with just five minutes of treatment. The healing power of Heart Energy i.e. Love is indeed amazing.

Goal Setting: If you don’t know where you want to go, which way you go doesn’t matter !!

It is said that everything in this universe is created twice. There’s a first creation in the form of a thought, a design or a visualized image. After this, then there’s a second creation. If the first creation is not done properly, then the second creation usually gets negatively affected.

If one is building a house, then he would first create a design or drawing in great detail trying to achieve everything that he wants in the house. the elevation, plans of the living room, bedroom etc even before a nail is hammered anywhere. If this first creation is not done properly, then he might have to make costly changes later.

The first creation is similar to what we call in life as ‘Goal Setting’. Knowing exactly where one wants to reach. i.e. the Destination.

Most of us have probably read the story Alice in the Wonderland (By Lewiss Caroll) in our childhood. This story has a very important lesson on the importance of Goal Setting.

In this story, Alice, a little girl gets lost in her wonderland and while she goes here and there trying to find her way, she gets lost. While walking around, she comes to a fork, where the road divides into two paths. Now Alice is confused since she doesn’t  know which way to go. Finally she finds a Cheshire cat and she asks the cat as to which way she should go. The cat in turn asks Alice ..”Where do you want to go?” and Alice say’s “I don’t know.” . Then replies the cat “My dear Alice, if you don’t know where you want to go, then which way you go, doesn’t matter” .

What this means is that if we are not clear about our destination, then what path we choose or what approach we follow, doesn’t matter. We must first be clear about our Goal, and only then everything else becomes relevant.

Goal setting is formally done in the corporate world every year where the organization sets its goals, which leads to the Management team’s goals, which then are broken down into departmental goals, and finally individual KRA’s (Key Result Areas) . However, people do  not realize that similar to this, goal setting is also very important in our personal life.

Each one of us, must essentially have clarity on our long term life goals. We must know what we intend to achieve in a lifetime.

Then we must break it down into 3 year or 5 year goals. At least that’s what I did. I had set a goal way back in the year 2002-2003 that by the year 2008, I would have my own firm offering training and consulting services to corporate clientele.  Exactly in 2008, I quit my job and started my consulting and training services. Clear goals naturally lead to flawless execution.

There’s a simple method that I follow for annual goal setting and trust me, this works like magic. For instance, in the annual goal sheet of year 2016, I had written that by the end of 2016 I possess the ability to heal people. Surprisingly,  in July 2016, things happened in such a manner that I actually was able to heal people and since that time till date I have now helped more than 450-500 people in helping them heal themselves from various ailments. Check out my blog category ‘Healing’ for more details.

I recommend that you too could follow this simple system of writing a goal sheet every year. Take a piece of paper and on the top, write the goal achievement date. For example,  you could write 31st Dec 2019 or for Financial Year 31st March 2020.

Then, below that write each goal in present tense as if you have achieved it. So instead of writing I will buy an apartment in Mumbai city, you have to write I have bought an apartment in Mumbai city. You could be slightly more specific too if you want, but don’t be too specific. Let the universe have some flexibility.  The reason why goals have to be written in present tense is because the universe does not understand Future tense. The only time zone it understands is the NOW (The Present Moment). So, this way, write each goal (Financial goal, Health Goal, Education goal, Materialistic goals, Family or relationship goals etc) in the present tense.

Then, at the end of the goal sheet, put your signature. That represents your  commitment  towards the fulfillment of that goal. Keep this goal sheet to yourself and do not make it public or show it to others. I normally keep it at a place where I would come across it at least once every quarter. I read it, and put it back.

Apart form an annual goal sheet (Macro Goal) , It is good to follow a system to write down our Micro goals i.e. a daily To-DO List.  In a separate post, I will share some tips on writing a daily To-DO list.  Till then think about your purpose in life, write down your long term goals and create an annual goal sheet. I wish you all the best. Have a wonderful day ahead. !!

Healing by Listening to the Body at Zero Point: A healing experience

Today, I am sharing with you an early experience in healing that I had sometime in September 2016 when I had just started experimenting with this healing method (Healing by listening to the Body).

I was traveling to Gandhidham in Gujarat by train for conducting a Training workshop at Adani Ports. A lady of age Approx 50-55 sitting in my compartment appeared to be in pain and was searching for something in her luggage. after a while, I asked her about it, she said that she was suffering from Varicose Veins and that she had severe pain in her leg. She was searching for her tablets but it seems she had forgotten to carry them.

Since she was in pain, I mentioned to her about the treatment that I do and that I could try it on her leg. To be on the safer side, I warned her that I had never used this on Varicose Veins and wasn’t sure if it would work at all, however was going to give a sincere attempt. She agreed and I started moving my palms 8-10 inches above her leg kept trying to sense the communication from her leg. Soon I started feeling strong vibrations in my palms and continued the treatment for a total of 5 minutes. When I looked at her and asked her to check, she was looking relieved and told me that the pain had completely vanished. She almost considered it to be Miracle.

I was surprised too and happy that it had worked especially since this was a very initial state of my healing trials by this particular method.

While this was going on, a gentleman who was sleeping on a lower berth in our compartment suddenly got up and asked me if I could  help him. He had overheard what all had happened and wanted me to help him with his back pain. when I asked him about it, he told me that he was from Tanzania and was traveling to Gandhidham for some personal work. He told me that he had severe pain in his lower back and it was so intense that he was unable to stand comfortably even for a minute or two without intense pain. This was  happening for a long time and no doctor was successful in treating this condition.

I told him that I was myself a novice at this method and wasn’t sure if it would work for him. He requested me to try and I agreed. After about 5-7 minutes of treatment he suddenly burped and for me this was an indication that some Vatha that was stuck in his lower back had probably moved out. I told him that this was a good sign and continued the healing for 5 minutes more. In all after 10-12 minutes, I asked him to check and he was shocked to find that the pain was almost gone and he was able to stand properly after a very very long time.

He was so delighted that he started walking around the compartment excited like a small child and told me that he had not walked this much since a very long time.

What happened now was even more surprising. A short while ago, this very man had got into an argument with a lady. She was asking him to shift to her upper berth and give her his lower berth. He had refused stating that it was impossible for him to move up. He soon agreed to shift to the top berth and comfortably could climb up without any pain. In the morning, he came down and sat beside me and told me that I definitely had special magical powers. I told him that this was something that each one of us could do if we wanted and if we learnt this simple technique.

My own confidence in the technique was now growing. During that visit at the Adani township, I also helped 10-15 more people with the healing technique and almost everyone experienced significant relief. I will share one more very interesting experience about a Frozen shoulder case, however, in another post. Till then Good Bye !!

Healing by Listening to the Body at Zero Point : Principle & Method

A very powerful way of healing is by simply listening to the body’s energy field while at the Zero point state of Mind (A Mindless State). However, instead of using our ears as an input device, this listening has to be done by using our palms and our eyes as input and feedback sensing devices. Once we develop sensitivity of our palms, it is very easy to pick up and receive signals that are being transmitted by an ailing body. Our eyes simultaneously catch the healing indicators to guide us through the process.

Listening can be therapeutic is something that we all know. However what we are probably not aware of is that this applies to our body illnesses as well and if we intently listen to the complaints of the body, then the body has the ability to heal itself by creating a balance of energy and order.

In my experience, this listening process almost immediately triggers a flow in the body and probably starts correcting Vatha Imbalance or Blocks. For those who are not aware of Vatha, Vatha as per Ayurveda, is the force that creates various types of flow in the body. There are five different Primary flow systems and then further secondary flow systems in the body which regulate the flow of blood, urine, digestive juices, saliva, sweat, tears, gas, toxins, nutrients, nerve impulses etc etc. across the body.  (I will explain this later in a separate post about Vatha and its importance in our body)

A block in any particular flow system  creates a disease and then puts the other flow systems into imbalance. This healing method can trigger a corrective action and bring the body into balance.

In this method, I simply bring my entire attention to my palms and hold my palms near the ailing person’s body at a distance of anything between 1-3 feet. Then in my mind, I request the other’s body to tell me whats wrong and that I’m there to listen to it. Normally, in about 10-15 seconds, my palms are able to catch signals and these signals are in the form of various feelings that I feel on the skin of my palms. Paying attention to the feelings deeply anchors me to the present moment (NOW) thereby creating the Zero point state of mind ( A No mind state) . In this state, healing spontaneously takes place to restore energy and order wherever you intend to or wherever required by the body.

The feeling that I get on my plans typically is like vibrations, heat or cold, air flow, tingling, pinching, twitching, magnetic push or pull, or anything that feels different to the palm.

I keep listening to the body that I am treating through my palms and keep moving my palms around as if I am rotating a radio knob and trying to catch a radio station. The moment I get a signal, I stop my palms there and intently listen to the signals while moving my palms in a random clockwise or anti clockwise motion or for that matter any random motion.

After a few moments, I intuitively shift my palms to a new position where I get a signal and then do the same as mentioned above. Simultaneously I keep my awareness on the body of the person who I’m treating to check for healing indications which usually start happening inside the other’s body.  People tell me that they have started feeling movement, vibrations, flow, tingling, pins and needles inside their body. Very often I can see twitching or jerking of their fingers or other body parts, which indicates that the healing has started.

Basically, how I think this works is that during the listening process our mind automatically gets into a deeply silent state, commonly called the Zero point i.e. A mindless state of Pure Awareness. This state of awareness and oneness of spirit opens up a portal where our intention of healing manifests into a instant corrective action that is done by the body being healed. It connects the ailing body to the universe and thereby can access the infinite healing potential of the universe. In this method, we as a healer are practically doing nothing apart from Listening. Everything that is required is done by the universe and the body that’s being healed.

I do the above for anything between 5-7 minutes and then ask the person to check if there is any change in the symptoms. Very often, in just 5 minutes, people suffering from joint pain report significant reduction of pain or ease of movement of limbs. I have used this method to treat various issues with such as back pain, knee pain, neck pain, problems with the digestive system,  injuries, Pain, Headaches or Migraine, Sprains, diabetes, constipation, dental pain, earache etc. Basically I try it on whatever comes my way and watch for results.

I must say, I have been lucky to have experienced some amazing results which I will write about it in later posts.

The only requirement to use this technique is the ability of one’s palms to catch the signals of a body. To check if your palms are sensitive, I suggest that you could just hold your palms in front of each other and check if you feel any sensations between them.

If you don’t feel anything, I will help you in activating your palms. You can contact me on my email sachin.karve@gmail.com or call me on my cell number 9819858269.  I have assisted a lot of people on phone and since then, they have been successfully healing themselves and others.

Heart Energy Healing: My very first experience in Healing

This was in July 2016, I was returning from Bhuj in Gujarat after conducting a 2-Day Training workshop for Adani Ports at Mundra.

Surprisingly, for the earlier 4-5 days, my mind was consistently in a very silent state. I was almost floating in a state of Pure awareness several times in a day.

I had read that a state of Pure awareness can be helpful for healing and had  read about Heart energy healing somewhere on the internet in the past. I wanted to try it out however, was apprehensive since I thought that such abilities of healing people were possessed by very few people who had attained something spiritually, and I wouldn’t be able to do it.

I was determined to try this on someone but wasn’t sure how an opportunity would come my way. Surprisingly the universe presented someone who badly needed healing the same day that I reached home.

The lady who works at my home as a House help, came in asking for a week’s leave since her doctor had told her that her condition was serious and had asked here to take complete bed rest for a few days. On further inquiry she told that she had extremely severe pain in her lower back. She was unable to bend and was also unable to walk properly due to the pain. Sadly, she had hidden this from us for more than a week and had silently continued her work even when she was suffering in severe pain.

While she was just about to leave, I casually mentioned to her that I would like to try a particular treatment on her which could help her provided it worked. I told her that I would not need to touch her and would do it from a distance of about 2-4 feet. I was hoping that she would agree and luckily she did. I made her sit in a comfortable position and sat a few feet behind her with my attention fully focused on her lower back and then I started sending Heart Energy to her back. (Refer to my earlier post on Heart Energy Healing to know how this is done)

In about 3-4 minutes, she said that she could feel very strong vibrations in her lower back.  The vibrations were radiating from her lower back inwards and upwards. She felt as if something was actually moving inside. This response from her, gave me the confidence that the treatment was indeed working. After 5 minutes, I asked her to stand up and check. To her surprise, she could stand properly and the pain was gone almost 90% . She couldn’t believe this and then tried twisting her spine a bit to see if it pained now. Then I asked her to check if she could bend and to her amazement she was able to bend in front as well as sideways without any discomfort.

A day later I again did a 5-10 minute healing session for her and her remaining discomfort too vanished. She was able to work normally as if nothing had happened.  These days, whenever she has any such problems, she knows that she can get relief in minutes.

That particular day I saw her getting completely cured with just 5 minutes of treatment. It was a very special day for me and it’s been 3 years since then with hundreds of such experiences in healing people.

 

 

Heart Energy Healing: An Extremely Powerful Healing Method

The ability to heal ourselves as well as others is a very important skill to possess. It is usually felt that only certain people are born with such divine abilities and it is not something with every human can do. I too lived with the same belief. However, what happened in the last 3 years completely changed this belief, especially after I ended up helping more than 500 people in healing themselves using 2-3 different techniques which I think can be learnt by any human on this earth.

Of the above mentioned techniques, the one that this post is focused on is the one that uses Heart Energy for Healing. We could simply call it Heart Energy Healing. While reading more about such kind of healing, I realized that this method makes use of the Electro-Magnetic energy of the heart in order to heal oneself and others.  This is a Scalar energy form and can be transmitted in any direction and over distance without losing its intensity/ power. I have used this over distance, tried putting this into metal objects such as coins and it still works. It’s simply magical in nature.

Over the last 3 years, I have used this method of healing on more than 200 people with amazing results. some of the experiences are nothing less than miracles. This method of healing is very simple to understand and practice and practically anyone can start doing this in 5 minutes after a little bit of practice.

The essentials for using this method are as below:

  1. A high level of Awareness/ Consciousness of our body.
  2. Deep Breathing – Inhalation and exhalation
  3. A very deep sense of Love in the heart so as to amplify the energy
  4. An intention of healing the person but a mind that’s completely silent and not attached to the outcome
  5. Sending Heart Energy from the Heart Chakra (Anahat Chakra) for Healing
  6. Keen observation of what’s happening to the person being treated (Registers or Changes)

According to me, the only 2 points which are a bit challenging for many of us are points 1 and 4. I was able to get control of these just in a few days of practice.  However, let me tell you that for me, results came actually in the very first trial that I did on a lady who had severe back pain. With just 5-7 minutes of treatment, she was completely cured. I believe that you too in your first attempt could get such results. The technique itself is so powerful. Exciting isn’t it.

Now, here’s the process which you follow:

  1. Sit in front of the person you wish to heal. (Remember that you are not healing. The universal energy of love is doing the healing through you as a medium)
  2. Keep breathing in and out normally and with every inhalation and exhalation, become fully aware of your body right from the tip of your toes to your head and the tip of your fingers. An easy way to do this is that as you inhale, take your awareness (attention) from tip of your toes to the head, and as you exhale, take your awareness from the head to the tip of your fingers.
  3. Now, bring in a very strong feeling of love in your heart (Somewhere at the center of the chest, nest to the physical heart lies the Heart Chakra (Vortex) . Imagine as if it is full with love. This is the love that we feel about any person, animal, say a small kitten or puppy, a baby or for our loved ones. Just feel the feeling of love in the heart region. Feel a sense of unity between you and the other person.
  4. With an intention to heal, (but no attachment to outcome), as you exhale, send a stream of Heart Energy to the part that needs healing. Imagine a stream of yellowish white or golden light going from your heart to the affected part. for example, if you are healing someone with joint pain, send the energy to the joint.  You would need to breathe a bot deeper than normal and then with every exhale send heart energy.  Do this with every exhale for the next 5 minutes. Make sure you maintain the body awareness while you do this. The body awareness will also help to in achieving a silent state of Mind.
  5. Observe if the person being treated is feeling any change happening inside his/her body. Often, people report a feeling of heaviness. lightness, tingling sensations, pins and needles, flow inside, burps, heat or cold feeling etc. Watch that since these are the registers that indicate that change has started happening inside.
  6. Do this for 5 minutes or till the time you are comfortable. Often people feel a bit hyperventilated if they breathe too deep. If that is happening to you, do not breathe too deep. Breathe normally. Rest of the process will remain same.
  7. A good idea is to first check the level of pain/ discomfort on a 1-10 scale (1=nothing, 10= severe) . Then after the treatment, again check if there is any change in the level of pain. Very often, you might notice a change. in most cases, i have found that people report next day that they have significant relief or have completely got cured. It probably depends on the person’s body- i.e. it’s  ability to initiate healing and also on the intensity of the problem.
  8. Do a repeat session for 5-7 minutes next day if the person reports an improvement.

In this technique, I have observed that the body uses the energy int he best way that it feels right. I was once treating a person for a finger injury and next day he reported that his finger was much better but what was most surprising that his tooth which was very painful for several days had suddenly stopped paining that night.  Note that I wasn’t even aware of this tooth pain while I was doing healing for him.  So trust that the body is intelligent enough to decide where to use the available energy.

Try this once, and trust me, there will be no looking back. The same method is use while treating ourselves. The power of our Heart Energy is so amazing. It brings in surprises practically every time.  Try it and share your experiences with me on sachin.karve@gmail.com . Feel free to write to me if you need any further guidance. Happy Healing !!

Our Body: A fantastic tool for the Journey towards Enlightenment

Enlightenment is something that everyone seeks. Or at least those who have risen above the basic needs such as Food, Shelter, Clothing, Money, Safety, Job & Position, Security, Social needs etc..

There are different ways towards enlightenment mentioned in ancient books such as 1. Bhakti Marg (Devotion and Surrender to Divine ), 2. Karma Marg ( Focusing on Doing or Action ) and 3. Yoga Marg (Achieving Unity ‘YoG’ using the Physical Body) and different people follow different paths according to their choice.

We must understand that all these paths lead to the same place. i.e. ‘Awakening’ or ‘Enlightenment’  where we can experience the Non Dual Spirit and energy that flows through each one of us, where the Illusion of physical reality ‘Maya’ no longer exists and we identify ourselves as Spiritual Beings on a Human Journey.  (And Not Human Beings on a Spiritual Journey) .

From whatever I have learnt and experienced over the years, I have understood that a very effective tool that is present with us all the time is our Body.  After my awakening experience through a grounding exercise years ago, (about which I have written in a separate post recently) , over the years, I realized that the key to awakening is Pure Awareness and that anything which can help us become deeply aware / conscious in the present moment can be a door to enlightenment.

Luckily our body is with us all the time and therefore is available for us to anchor on at our will, practically 24×7. Becoming deeply aware of our body just for a week’s duration can bring about a powerful shift in our consciousness. It is easier said than done, since holding our awareness to our body even for a minute at a time is very difficult, since the mind keeps jumping around from thought to thought and very soon the awareness is gone.

With several things around us to distract our minds these days, it becomes even more challenging to maintain body awareness for a long duration. If we can simply maintain our attention to our body, breath or any action that we are performing using our body, that is good enough to take us to a deep feeling of joy and eternal bliss (Sat-Chit-Anand)

As an action point, starting from this moment, try to maintain full body awareness as long as you can. Catch yourself losing awareness and pull yourself back even if you have to do this several times a day. For a while or few days, you might feel nothing different apart from a little bit of calmness and some joy. I have observed that there’s a particular threshold point or a tipping point  and once you cross that, then the change in your consciousness will become very strong evident and noticeable to you.

You might suddenly start feeling a deep calmness, stillness and unbound Joy coming from within. For no reason, you will be happy, and will have a smile on your face. Just by looking at you, people will realize that something within you has changed.
