Karma & Spirituality

Karma and Spirituality

We live a lot of lives. We are born and reborn in many lives. Only our physical bodies change but our soul  is reborn. Why are we born again and again? We are responsible for our deeds or Karma that is done in each and every life that we love. Karma is nothing but what you put in action in any circumstances that you face. We do lot of things as per our wish that we think are right but all this might not be right or correct. What we do paves the road for our future. It decides how we reach our destiny. Our destiny is as much in our hands as it is in the hands of the Almighty. It is just the way you help yourselves that the Almighty shapes your life. There may be lot of ways to reach your goal but the road or path that you choose defines your life. For example it might be destined that you would be having wealth but the path that you choose to earn this defines your actual life.  A crook or smuggler might also be wealthy but so will be a hard working person. So, the crook has become wealthy as destined but with bad karma and the hard working or just person by good karma. The path that we choose and act accordingly defines our karma. Doing good things in a good way is good karma and doing bad things with greed, hatred and jealousy is bad karma. Even if we do good things with bad intention it leads to out contribution to the bad karma. We get what we sow. Lot of times we hear people saying that out last life deeds affect us in the present life. Its all about balancing the good and the bad that leads to ours being reborn in many lives. The amount of good karma done by a person determines his journey to moksha. It is said that being born a human means we are getting closer to moksha. Because only humans can really understand and differentiate the good and the bad. We can by our higher state of intelligence as being born a human differentiate between the two and act accordingly to reach moksha. Why do we need moksha? So that we are free from the cycle of rebirth and sufferings we face and become one with the almighty. As long as our bad karma does not get nullified with our good karma, the cycle will continue. So, our ancestors always taught us to be good, noble, just and give and do everything with unconditional love. Hatred, jealousy, feeling of incompetence, ego all leads to bad karma. If all this is removed from our life what is left is good karma. But leading a life of good karma is very difficult. Humans being intelligent is often put into circumstances where he has to choose between the right and the wrong and his intelligence most of the time is wrongly used due to his own ego, hatred and others experiences. So the cycle of rebirth as a general rule is unbreakable. So how can we overcome this? We see lot of enlightened people or people who have attained moksha like Buddha, Mahavir, Guru Nanak, Sai baba etc. They attained moksha but it was not easy and obviously we cannot be them. But if you see they all used the same path. The path of Spirituality. What is Spirituality? Is it singing bhajans, giving and listening to pravachans, chanting mantras, doing pujas? No definitely not. It simply means knowing ourselves and our purpose in life. All of us are doing something spiritual in one way or other to get what they want? We pray to god to achieve something. We chant mantras to aid us in something or because somebody told us to chant this in hard times. We do fasting, pujas etc but with what intention ? Our own selfish motives. To gain wealth, to pass in exams etc. We never do any thing just to thank god selflessly.  This is the difference. God does not want anything from us. God only wants us to be good, have an attitude of gratitude and do things without any bad intentions. We should all do pujas and chant mantras but for thanking god and mental peace. This is exactly what spiritualism is all about. It has got nothing to do with religion or god but ourselves and our behaviour with ourselves and others in our life. Every religion teaches the same values. Have we ever thought why? Because this is what we should be doing in our daily life. We need spirituality day in and day out. By practicing this, we will be able to nullify our negative karmas. By spreading goodness and love we draw goodness and love. Most of our mental, physical and emotional problems get resolved due to this. We get into spiritualism as a last option. When things go out of our hand, we run towards these things to get destressed and for mental peace. But by then we find it's too late and things are irreversible. People get too stressed due to hectic schedules leading to various lifestyle diseases and we lose our precious peace of mind. So why not make it a part of our life right now and ensure that children practice it right from the beginning. By doing this we are gifting ourselves and our children something that will help them for life and secure their future in terms of harmony and peace. 

Invest 5 minutes of your time towards this and see the difference it makes in your life.

The Seven Chakras and Our Body

The word "Chakra" comes from a Sanskrit word which means wheel or circle and has been used in almost all of the traditional ways of healing. The concept of chakras has been used for over a hundred years. Their role in treating illnesses and disorders has been monumental.  They are situated in different points of the body. Each chakra works with a group of vital organs. Together, they ensure the wellness of a person.   Chakras are centres of electromagnetic activity for receiving, assimilating, and transmitting life-force energy to and within our body. Chakras receive and transmit this energy all the time.  Chakras appear as a colorful wheel or flower with a hub in the centersimilar to fans with overlapping blades.  Chakras draw in Divine life-force energy (also called “ki”, “chi” or “prana”) from the Universe and distribute this vital energy to our body, our organs, the bloodstream and nervous system for highest good health and well being of our body. But these chakras can be prone to deficiencies and imbalances. When there is a blockage or imbalance in one part of the chakra system, it has an impact on all the other chakras.  Imbalances occur when there is too much or too little energy flowing through the chakras. This prevents chakras from providing sufficient vital energy for the body.  By understanding how each chakra affects a particular body function and life issue, it is possible to identify where a chakra is malfunctioning.  Unbalanced or “blocked” chakras create a whole range of mental, emotional, and physiological conditions.  This is where Reiki can help.

Past, Present and Future

Our life is governed by how we act, behave and respond to situations. What we are today is the result of our actions of the past. Our present reflects our past. So analyze the present. Is it how you wanted to be? Are you successful, have you achieved what you have wanted, are you at peace?. If the answer is yes, then you are going the right way. But most of the time, we being human beings tend to answer no. Why? Because a human being is the most selfish, greedy and egoistic person. If we are not at peace now it's only because we are not let going of past issues, events, circumstances or people. Forgive, forget and let go and see the difference it makes in your present. You will feel peace and light weighted in your mind and heart. That is what we all are after isn't it? Unless we let go of things, our situation of the mind and heart will not change. This effects how we make our present. Our future depends on how we act, behave and respond to the present. So work on your present more than think about your past. Unpleasant incidences leave a hole or wound in your mind and soul. If this is not healed in time, it affects our present and inturn effects your future.  Your future is in your hands.

Attitude Of Gratitude

Of all the attitudes, Attitude Of Gratitude is the Most Important. Be Thankful for all the things in the Universe and Be Blessed. 

Why should we be grateful or thankful? Universe is giving us infinite energy, all things that we need to live and survive. It gives us air, water, food, nature allows us to dwell in her, to be used for all living things. Universe and nature are very selfless and give without expecting anything in return. But do we give anything in return to her? Atleast an offer of gratitude. This is the least we can do to for the selfless act done by them. 

Universe or God doesn't expect anything from us in return. They are doing their duty. The Sun, moon, stars all are doing their duty without getting anything in return. Then why are we so selfish that we do not give anything in return or do anything without selfish motives. Our life has become very selfish and we do everything for something in return. We have forgotten the very basic attitude of gratitude of saying Thank You. Just by saying a simple Thank You we can make our lives better and our hearts more gentler and nobler. This can work wonders for the world around us and can make a big difference to us. Let's take the first step and thank our Parents, our Teachers, our Friends, Mother Earth, the Universe. If everyone of us sends this gratitude, imagine the goodness that can be spread around and feel the goodness and positivity in and within us.

And last but definitely not the least  -   Thank You God For Everything. 

Naadis, Chakras and Kundalini

Our human body comprises a network of subtle channels known as  Naadis. There are more than 72000 such channels in our body. Of these the 3 main are Ida, Pingala and Sushumna . The Ida and Pingala run parallel to the spinal cord. The Ida is on the left of the spinal cord while the Pingala is on the right. Ida is qwhite, feminine, cold and represents the moon and associated with Ganga. Pingala is red, masculine, hot and represents the sun and associated with Yamuna. The Sushumna is the central channel running up the spinal cord and is associated with Saraswati. All these three Naadis originate from the Muladhara chakra. Ida ends up in the left nostril while Pingala ends up in the right nostril. Sushumna connects the Muladhara chakra to the Crown chakra. From Muladhara chakra, Ida and Pingala alternate from the right to left sides at each chakra until they reach Ajna chakra where they meet again with Sushumna. The spots where these three intersect on the Sushumna are the chakras. The energy from and to the chakras are transported through these Naadis.  The Kundalini lies at the base of the Muladhara chakra at the origin of the 3 Naadis dormant 3 and a half times coiled.  The serpent lies blocking the entrance to Sushumna, the central channel with his mouth. Sushumna remains closed at its lower end as long as Kundalini is not awakened. When the energy flow of the Ida and Pingala are balanced and unified, the kundalini is awakened. This causes the Sushumna to open and forces her to rise up from the root chakra to meet the crown chakra. This spurge of energy takes the route from root to the crown energizing and awakening all the chakras till she meets the crown chakra or Shiva. When this stage is reached person achieves spirituality and can use the kundalini power to achieve bliss and get the inner alignment and balance in their life

Meditation

This one thing has always intrigued me. Just imagine sitting trying to concentrate or not concentrating on anything. Human mind being human mind wanders around and we try to bring it to a point. The more we try the harder it is for a person like me to try and meditate. But I have succeeded upto a point. But when we think of meditation the first thing that comes in our mind is sitting cross legged or straight, eyes closed deep in trance. What is meditation? It is trying to train, focus, concentrate or direct your mind to a point where in your mind and body are in a state of bliss, peace or happiness oblivious to things around us. Why is this important? This helps our mind and body calm down, get tuned to our inner self achieve mental harmony and bliss. Science has proven that this helps in controlling lot of physical ailments related to heart and the brain ( blood pressure, palpitation, anxiety, stress etc ). But my question - Is meditation the only way to achieve that bliss and happiness ? What about people who cannot meditate? Should those people not be able to get that peace and bliss? What happens when a person who is passionate about singing is singing, or a passionate painter paints, a passionate dancer dances, passionate teacher teaches, a passionate player plays a particular sport, a passionate worker works? All these people attain their bliss and peace when they do pursue their passion. They achieve a certain high or bliss when they are engrossed in their passion and they are oblivious to things around them. Their face and body radiates with a different kind of joy and satisfaction. Doesn't this equate to being in meditation. For all of us, our passion and our persuasion of that passion should be our meditation. Let's not stereo type meditation and refrain people who cannot meditate from achieving the bliss and peace. Meditation should not be an exercise it should be persuasion of our passion.

Manifestation of Goals

Manifestation of Your Goals With Reiki 

Manifestations means materializing your goals, desires and goals. It can also be perceived as making your dreams come true or giving birth to new desires which need to come true.  Your goals, dreams, desires all can come true. You can manifest your goals into reality. 

We all living beings have vibratory energies within and surrounding us. Every of our action and thoughts have a vibration of its own. When the frequency of our will power or intent matches with the frequency of our actions towards the goal we achieve what we want. This does not happen most of the time and we are left disillussioned.  Having only intent without matching actions or actions without will and intent also takes you away from reaching our goals. Hence our integrity towards our goals should be such that our intents and actions match. Our actions should align with our intent. But how do we match the frequencies? Reiki can helps us in manifestation of our goals. How ? By practicing reiki on self, we help raise or balance our energies or frequency to match the frequencies of our intent and action. This in turn helps us to take steps in the direction of achieving our goals. With help of reiki symbols we can send reiki to the future to help our frequencies match. The power of reiki is tremendous. It helps heal, manifest, spread positivity and self improve ourselves.
