Are you sure about what you want?

Well this was the question I asked my friend as she was struggling to understand why was life not happening to her the way she thinks or wants. As we dwell deep into discussion, about what was exactly happening and how does she life and how is it different than what she feels it should be.

I can confess here that there was a constant change in the pattern of her desires. Is it only with her? So when ever some one asks me to help him or her with any form of manifestation in life, the first question ask is ” Are you completely doubt free that you wan this particular thing to happen in your life” Many people stop for a moment and rethink. Yes it is very important to know that what you exactly wish in your life. To be exactly sure that how you see your life after 5 years or so. That gives us a better picture of where we are and where do we think we need to proceed. It may take a long time for you to come to a conclusion sometimes in deciding the particular exact desire of your life. But it is worth knowing it. So how can you know what you really desire in your life??

 

The H2O symbolism

In the title above, it is a 2 in subscript H₂o a chemical symbol of water. An amazing element of all the five is water. I have developed a strong relation with the element, and also reflect many of its qualities. Water does not have a consistent shape, you put it in a round vessel it will seem to be round, put it in square vessel, it will be square. No consistency of shape. A great ability to adjust in its environment. Just so smoothly, it gets into where it is.

Well, I too have a quality of being inconsistent, good adjusting qualities but still the similarity between water and me is the inconsistency.

Many forms are the attributions of water, you may find it calm quite as symbol of profound peace or as roaring and dashing thorough large boulders as a symbol of energy and passion. As I always feel when I have a look at the Ganges, the portions where water is fiercely gushing making way to its forward journey, a journey that ends with the union with the sea.

Water is a symbol of purification and healing. Purification rites cannot be complete without the presence of holy water. In many parts, keeping a picture of water in a room is regarded inauspicious. It all depends on the form of water. A picture depicting fierceness of water like a violent waterfall or seawater  furiously hitting the boulders nearby is big NO to keep in bedroom.  A bedroom can actually do without a picture of water. A beautiful calm peaceful picture of a lake can be placed in the drawing room or in your meditation and prayer room. Before keeping any picture in your house have a look at it for few moments and try to understand the interpretation of your mind and heart for the picture. Go for the first instinct which generally in most correct one. Water painting are very beautiful to look at and radiate tranquility when depicted as a serene lake.

Water is also a symbol for fertility in many religions. The symbolism of water depends on its depiction.

Let your heart reveal the secret!

 

What type is your cup?

“Empty your cup”  is advice given to spiritual seekers

Empty your cup!

It reminds me of a story. Years ago a very learned warrior went to a Zen master and asked him to teach Zen. The Zen master agreed and said ” Would you like a cup of tea before we begin?” The warrior agreed and the monk went away to prepare tea and came back with a tea pot and two cups. He placed the cups on the table and started pouring tea in one of the cup, the cup got filled till the brim but the master did not stop pouring into the cup and the tea started overflowing. It spilled all over. The warrior could not resist and said “What are you doing? The cup is already full” The Zen master stopped at once, smiled and said” The cup is the symbol of your mind. You had come to me with a full mind, there was no place to receive anything new. You have to be empty to receive something new. As the already full cup wont accept any more tea in the same way your mind will not accept any new wisdom.”

An cup is a symbol of mind and heart. Not only for learners but everyone of us, have to become like a empty cup. If our mind is full of judgments and beliefs regarding another person, we may never be able to build a strong relation. As you open up you receive more value for people around.Becoming an empty cup is symbolic to the state of your being, its not of meditating purposes or literally using it as symbol.

An empty cup symbolizes hunger, hungry families, malnutrition and disease. While an full cup symbolizes fullness health and strong fulfilled families. So what is there in your cup?

How do you wish to fill your cup? With riches, money, gold or with grains, food and bread or with wisdom or with water for spiritual fulfillment.

I would like to add a word of caution here. Organisations related to catering business and restaurants should not use cup and saucer as a symbol. Empty cup pictures should not be placed in kitchens or drawing rooms.

Dreaming a full cup represents your good spiritual growth while an empty one shows some neglect on your side.

Lock your aura!

Aura is our energy field surrounding us. You can know more about it here. Our pattern, vibrations and hues of our aura has a lot to tell about our physical and mental state. But are we the only ones affecting our aura?

Aura is a vibrating energy field which comes in contact with many different types of energies; negative or positive. There are many people, situations and things around us that may not have nice impact on our aura. We may feel that in presence of certain people makes us feel low and dull. While traveling in a public transport or in a any crowded area there are many people surrounding us. Our energy field comes in contact with the energy field of different people. Now, the other energy fields may be harmonizing and may be not.

We feel tired after going in a crowded place although we have not done anything. It is because of there are some ‘Energy suckers’. Energy suckers are people who knowingly or unknowingly suck energy from your energy field and you may not get aware, just feel tired and dull. Have ever come across anyone like that. It is quite possible that the other person may not be much aware of this state of his. But you need to protect your energy field. You can feel the difference the very first day by locking your aura.

The best time to lock your aura is in the morning. As you get up, stand up and close your eyes, keeping the palms facing outward. First step is to cleanse your aura. Close your eyes and feel white pure healing light coming from above and feel it going through your aura. As it passes through your aura, your aura also gets bright and clean. Let the light enter in to earth. After a min or two of cleansing, slowly move your palms from toe to up, as your both palms reach the top, make a knot. repeat it by placing your hands in side and than back taking care to cover all your sides. Every time your hands reach at the top, tie a knot. Your aura is now locked and protected. Have faith that no negative energies will affect you. All the best !
