I believe in you

blisscoach — Fri, 03 Feb 2006 00:27:13 GMT

Dear Lover, I'm reflecting on a past revelation: at a time when I lived dangerously near suicide my psychiatrist got down on one knee to pray I thought: please get up before you make a fool of yourself afterward he asked how I felt I wanted to tell him he was wasting his breath that I didn't believe but because I saw a glimmer of truth in his eyes the words stuck in my throat I said nothing within a few weeks, the darkness lifted and I began to believe, blind faith has long since turned into knowing yet every once in a while when I see a glimmer of God in someones eyes, I'm compelled to deepen my breath and declare my belief I think that's why, last night, I said, I believe in you.

Doing Darshan

Feature Article: Doing Darshan “If you would learn the secret of right relations look only for the divine in people and things, and leave all the rest to God. “ J. Allen Boone Darshan is a Sanskrit term for being in the presence of the divine. In India, people travel hundreds of kilometers to be in the audience of a saint or a sage in order to receive their blessings. During my pilgrimage, I experienced many forms of Darshan. For devotees of the divine mother Amma Chi, darshan means a warm healing hug. If you follow Sai Baba, darshan might include standing at his feet, amongst thousands of other truth seekers. In some temples, darshan is sitting in silent meditation before a guru. Darshan may also be the act of viewing statues, sculptures, or pictures of deities after they’ve been bathed and dressed in fresh costumes. Frequently, Darshan is a private Question and Answer session with a master teacher. Receiving audience with a realized being, is a unique, personal and powerful experience. It is not easily intellectualized, and affects everyone differently. Energetic transmission from a divine being has the potential to transform one's consciousness. My experience of life Coaching is a lot like Darshan. Instead of having clients come to me for blessings and transmission, I often experience the divine in them. Using a constellation of personal growth techniques, I assist people in recognizing their own eternal, blissful and all-powerful Self, which launches them towards their glorious full expression.

The Meaning of Namaste

In one tantric myth it is said that the great lover god, Krishna made away with the clothes of unmarried teen-age maidens, who were bathing in the river Yamuna. Their fervent pleading didn’t sway him. Only when they performed the eternal gesture of Namaste, out of total devotion, did he agree to hand back their garments so that they could recover their modesty. The greeting "Namaste" is commonly used in our spiritual community and is pronounced "Namastay.” In Sanskrit it literally translates to, Namas:"I bow” Te:“to you." It is often expressed with two hands pressed together near the heart center with the head gently bowed, and eyes closed. Thus Namaste is both a Mantra (sacred sound) and a Mudra (sacred gesture.) The hands held in union signify the oneness of the apparent duality: left and right, masculine and feminine, spirit and matter, or the ego-self meeting the higher-self. Namaste is sometimes expressed by bringing the fingers of the clasped palms to the forehead, where they touch the brow, the site of the mystic Third Eye. A third form of Namaste brings the palms completely above the head, a gesture said to focus consciousness in the subtle space just above Crown Chakra. This form is so full of reverence it is reserved for the Almighty and the holiest of the gurus. According to Hindu Today magazine, the essential expanded meaning of this gesture is the same as silently saying, "I see the deity in us both, and bow before Him or Her. I acknowledge the holiness of even this mundane meeting. I cannot separate that which is spiritual in us from that which is human and ordinary."

Synchronicity Simplified.

“Be at Peace and see a clear pattern running through your lives.” --Eileen Caddy It seems the more I raise my consciousness, the more my life fills with magical coincidences. ?It’s as if people, places and events coincide to bring messages about the path that I am on.? Carl G. Jung coined the term synchronicity and explained it as a principle by which improbable forms of coincidence occur where no causal connection can be demonstrated between two events, but where a meaningful relationship nevertheless exists. *C.G. Jung gives the example of a beetle flying into his room while a patient was describing a dream about a scarab. Jung interpreted: “the transcendental meaning of both the scarab in the dream and the insect in the room was that the patient needed to be liberated from her excessive rationalism.” *Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way, gives the following example: “A woman admits to a buried dream of acting. At dinner the next night, she sits besides a man who teaches beginning actors.” *An example occurred with me, while teaching The Artist’s Way course, I was journaling about my desire to buy a Counting Crows CD when my lover came home from his guitar lesson with a copy of a live Counting Crows song that he wanted to play for me. *Another of my own examples happened when I had Turnips on my shopping list, as the only vegetable I needed to pick up to make a special soup for dinner, and while at a client’s house for lunch, we discover it was the only ripe vegetable in his garden! *A student cleaned her closet out and discovered an old sweater from an ex-lover that she hasn’t heard from in years, who happened to call that evening. Skeptics would like to dismiss these examples as selective perception, and the law of averages playing itself out. ?Synchronicity is generally explained as the connection between the powerful unconscious mind and the phenomenal world of perception. Now, scientists seek to explain synchronicity with quantum physics, fractal geometry, and chaos theory. Physicists have shown, for example, that if two photons are separated, no matter how far, a change in one creates a simultaneous change in the other. Personally, I’ve interpreted synchronicity to be evidence of the Universe’s infinite intelligence, which responds to conscious and unconscious prayers. Regardless of why it happens, I invite you to observe and cultivate these signs. Notice that the more you look for and listen to them, the more they continue to happen. Meditation, journaling and prayer have all proven to increase their frequency. ?By following these threads and themes you will inevitably raise your sense of wonder, magic and connection to the universe. ?
