Regression - questions, questions

Hi Folks !

How are you ?

The carpenters finally finished all those little jobs after completing the big ones.

They also made a few boxes with small round holes, just enough for a sparrow to go in and lay her eggs safely and keep the babies safe till they learn to fly.

I check them out every day, though this is not the nesting season !


We have some nice questions this time too on Past Life Regression from Arun and lets take them up.



Is there any preparation required before going in for a session? - like meditating etc?.

Do Vipassana meditators find it easier?

How do we know its not our sub-conscious throwing up images ?



Well, there is only one pre-requisite. A Very Important one -

An open mind !

Truly, whether one meditates or not makes no difference to this process.

If you are a visual person, you will see things more clearly.

If you are not to begin with, you may become one and see things in great detail and colours as the Regression progresses.

Sometimes, one sees in a sepia tone.

Grainy, black and white images.

Then, along the way, as one gets adjusted to them,one can identify colours and textures too.


For some others, the images may be faint or hazy but they feel and hear whats happening.

Whatever it is, usually, the questions are answered.


However, in the Integration part, I do advice many people to take up meditation.

They usually come around to that view by themselves too, that they need to think differently, be calmer.

Now the second question ! It gets asked very often and the doubt is very real.

See, every bit of imagination has to come from somewhere, doesn't it ? So where does it come from ?


From past existence.

All that we do during the process is remove the critical filter and access what is already there.

Each past life that one sees, specifically related to a question on a health problem, a personal problem, a fear or a phobia will show aspects, situations, behaviour and happenings which help us understand the problem and give a satisfying solution for this lifetime.

Even seeing a random life will give many clues to one's present personlity and mental make-up.

Pure imagination would change in every telling.

An account of a past life seen will remain the same, in the very same words after many years and untold number of recountings.



Ranjana wants to know what does one do if the master dissuades one from regressing !

Well!

After seeing a past life to the moment of leaving the body, I take the client to a beautiful cave full of white light to meet his/her Spiritual Master.

There, they discuss the life they've just seen and ask for clarifications, if any, and blessings.

The Masters always know more, have an overview, are very, very wise.

If they think you do not need to see a past life, then you don't !

So relax ! You are obviously doing all the right things, learning all the lessons you had chosen to in your Pre-Birth Choices and Agreements and are becoming aware and equanimous.

Stop making new Karma even as you are going through the fruits of the old lot!

Spread the happiness !

Just go for it, Arun, and all the rest of you !

Experience it atleast once.

It will give you the bigger picture of your life.

Make you a positive, responsible, cheerful person!

Lets connect

HI FOLKS !


Hows life?


Been a long time.


There was work going on in my computer room - cupboards and cabinets being made.

Noise and dust and a general mess.

It seemed never-ending, but its about finished now, and the result is so beautiful !

Made to the correct requirement.



The big things and then the small, on-the-spur additions which increase comfort and add to the overall beauty and grace. Hand-made stuff.


Doesn't it sound so much like LIFE ?!


A big mess which keeps going on and on and on !

You finish with one and discover something else has already begun - has crept up quietly and you decide you might as well finish it .

So you do, but the input has a bit of irritation, restlessness, a be-done- with - it which muddies the joy of completion and creation.

Doesn't it ?

When my requests of 'a little shelf here and nails over there for my prayer flags' kept growing, I thought the carpenter was going to say 'I dont do/there's- no- time- for these small things'.



But he didn't.

He heard me out patiently.

Looked at the requirement.

Thought it over.

Made some suggestions which enhanced the end result.

No job was too small for him.

Along with him comes his 20 year old son who watches his father work and talk and think.

He's equally polite, never says no but adds that he' will tell Pappa, he's coming.'

When there was requirement for a polisher and painter and mason, Pappa told me.

Only when I asked him if he knew of anyone who would come and do the work did he say that yes, he did.

They came, did an excellent job in the stipulated time and went off.

They charged what seems a reasonable amount for the physical effort they do and the beauty of their work.


Makes me wonder.

Watch the gardener. The farmer, welder, electrician, carver, embroiderer, cutter, tailor-Anybody who works as much with his hands or body as his mind.


Do you find them calmer?

Closer to the nature's laws and just- so much more peaceful. The closer you are to Mother Earth, the more grounded you would be, wouldn't you ?


Think of us, on the other hand.

In high-rises, away from solid earth.

We jog in well - soled shoes.

Take cars and bikes and planes to work and travel.

Spend free time in bed or in conditioned air which could be more polluted than fumes from fuel.


Lets connect with ourselves.



When was the last time you took a deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep breath ?

Take one now.

Breathe out longer.

Again.

Do it as often as you remember when you are in fresh air.

FIND fresh air !


With every breath you take in, feel calmness, serenity and happiness spread inside your body.

Let all the tension, stress, anxiety, confusion, depression, tiredness, lethargy go out through the out-breath.

Have you noticed ?

We take in so little and need to throw out so much more !

Lets relax.

Be happy.

Say thank you to mother earth and our friends and near and dear ones.


Have a good day-
