How Feels the Boddhisattva..

Posted on Jul 3rd, 2009 by  Meenakshi : Connection Meenakshi
How feels the boddhisattva,

When s/he finally moves into the light
What does s/he feel when s/he passes through the portal
That s/he held open for many a night
Not opening nor closing,
Just holding it open


For the traveler ready to transit
The one who just needs to know light exists
For the one who senses it from within the deepest darkness
And most of all for the other boddhisattva
Who is now ready to move

 

How feels the healer
When all s/he senses have healed
When no action is required to be taken
Only growing into awareness
When all around there are only healers
How feels the healer then?

How feels the lightworker
When it is finally time to be light
To let go of caring, way-showing, lightening
When the ultimate sacrifice is revealed not as leaving the world of desire
But for desire to let go of the world

Perhaps then the boddhisattva who has been in all these spaces and selves
Can pass through that threshold whence once  s/he allowed the world to pass

The writer in the flow of reiki

Posted on Jul 4th, 2009 by  Meenakshi : Connection Meenakshi
I was speaking today to another who is a Reiki Master. She is writing a book that she would like to see published. And I realized how a writer uses - or  can use - the principles of Usui Shiki Ryoho, the healing method that uses reiki, the universal energy:

To call in our guides and masters into the situation of writing and getting a book published
See that this is an action that helps to bring into wholeness the writer, reader, and all who come into contact with the words in the book.

That just as the flow of reiki does not originate from one person or end there, the flow of the words does not originate or end with the writer; that just as the reiki healer is a facilitator, so is the writer a receiver of ideas from wherever they originate, a crafter of them into words, a midwife who is actively involved in all aspects of the writing, organizing, thinking, editing, rethinking, reorganizing, sending to publishers, interacting with the pre-publication readers and later perhaps with the post publication ones.....

And in this process, the writer fully lives the ideas in her book, as does the healer. Receives the blessings of the ideas, as does the healer who channels reiki.

The healer stays detached from the outcome of the session - or strives to - knowing that in its true intelligence, the reiki energy brings about the highest good of all concerned. And perhaps, so can the writer.

In this way, just as a healer feels refreshed and blessed after giving or receving reiki, knowing both to be in the flow; so can the writer take the blessings of the flow of creation in which she has played an amazing part.

How blessed I am to be in such close touch with one who is writing....!

I am the animal, humans!

Posted on Jul 13th, 2009 by  Meenakshi : Connection Meenakshi
I am the animal, humans!

I started off thinking I was a human who loved animals. As a child, I was passionate about animal rights, and as I grew, it turned into having no pets, but plenty of animal friends. As I grew even older, I began to see the importance of animals giving us messages just by flying, crawling or even biting their way into our life and our dreams!

A few weeks ago, I realized with a start that there is no animal group I belong to, on Gaia. I admit it - I was too lazy to check and see that actually there are some!
Or perhaps I was waiting for Suni to come by and drop the word “meerkat” in my grapevine, messages and posts!. She won me over by calling me that, till I realized what a wonderful guide had come into my life.

I found this :

Meerkat/Suricate's Wisdom Includes:
*Maternal nurturing
*Caretaking
*Watchfulness
*Ability to live communally
*Sacrifice for the good of the group 
Animal Spirits

======

And their biological name:
Meerkat ( Suricata suricatta )
My last name is Suri!!!!


I'll learn more as we go along in a new group I've joined, Love of Animals

~KES, thanks for the catchy slogan that I turned around!

Discovering my light team

Posted on Jul 14th, 2009 by  Meenakshi : Connection Meenakshi
I rposted something at The Power of Light today from the Daily OM that sparked a question from Jess, and a response that I thought I could bring here.
------

 I think each of us finds our light team in different ways. Some of them stay faceless, nameless, but the presence is very strong. Others have names, are God-like figures, or have been historically in our life as ancestors.

Telling you my experience may help. Sometime when I was in college, I used to get a feeling that I was being watched over. The guides were not taking away my problems, but their presence was very strong. I found some of the "faces" and even some names over the course of healing initiations and attunements. What was a delighted surprise for me was that the outer teachers who have gave me attunements, were different - but the inner teachers were the same! And very much "alive"- not as if they had been historical figures.

In meditation, we would send out healing to ourselves and all those who are near and dear to us, and those who are near and dear to them, in every widening and inclusive circles. That brought out those who are in my light team.

In a healing group I belong to, I found that we can call out to each other etherically and "find" each other, even when we're driving or going about our daily activity. I know that they are in my light team too, not as guides but as those whom I can always call upon to help with healing. There are many whose presence we sense when we are in our healing space. I wonder if I'll ever find their names ..

When my father in law passed on, I could see and hear him helping me with difficult situations. So he became a part of my light team as he could not fully have been while in human form.So I do see that our ancestors can become our light team. It is not something I would have agreed with, if I hadn't seen him and others helping me in this way.

My feeling is that the light team is like  a funnel, or 3-d spiral, with those who took human form and passed on, near to us; and in ever widening circle, those whom we don't know; and on up to the Christed Ones, the Masters, the Godlike ones or Devas...each with our own light team, for the different dimensions in which we exist.

posted a reply to the conversation "Gaia - a place for action or not?" in Gaia Groups Community - "The Mod Pod'  - When a long-time Gaia community member blogs about leaving, some thoughts come up about what Gaia means to me,and about allowing him to leave with no strings attached, as he asked us to listen with our heart.

posted a reply to the conversation "Power Animals - Unleashed" in Love of Animals -  How to meditate if you can't sit still or focus

And continuing to enjoy the weather outside my window: " Sometimes the message comes in a thunderstorm...loving the rain for now! " says my status

Lovely series of videos explains chakras

Posted on Jul 25th, 2009 by  Meenakshi : Connection Meenakshi
This is one of the best series of talks I've heard, about chakras, the human energy systems that are linked to the energy of the universe.

Anodea Judith explains the sounds, patterns and functions of each energy. The visuals are amazing, as is her voice, and the music, chanting of the lam, vam, ram, yum, hum, sham, om- the beeja [seed] mantras of the seven main chakras.

Listening for that inner need

Posted on Jul 26th, 2009 by  Meenakshi : Connection Meenakshi
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 25, 2009:

I woke up from an un-remembered journey, to this thought:
'Be careful what you are sympathetic with. It doesn't always help the person you are being sympathetic to."

I saw something like an image:

Someone is disturbed about the conditions of their life
I am sympathetic [ I am not really listening to what they need,because their disturbance so bothers me]
They stay in their weakness because my sympathetic presence is a crutch
A  closed circle is created, feeding off each other, [no one really listening to the other, only hearing the cries]

Until..


Someone is disturbed about the conditions of their life
I am non-sympathetic but listen in stillness
They are forced to find another way out for their disturbance, as my non-sympathy is like a rock in their path
The closed circle widens to reveal a labyrinthine journey, traversing which,  the disturbed person finds their thread of light that sees them through.

When sympathy prevents awakening,  I have to remember to listen to the inner call of the other, while acknowledging the outer cries.

Tuning forks- sympathy or compassion?

Posted on Jul 28th, 2009 by  Meenakshi : Connection Meenakshi
Some of us have been talking about sympathy and compassion on my other blog [Listening for that inner need]. A thought came to me today:

Sympathy helps us to continue to see the other person as separate, and
needing of help. Not their strength, but their weakness. Not our
weakness but our strength.

Once we see that, the roles between the weak
and the strong are reversed –or at best in a fluctuating state –till
equilibrium is achieved and we can see both ours and the others'
strengths and weaknesses, inner and outer longings.

And this equilibrium is compassion.

But for us in  human life, one leads to the other. They're stepping stones to that unconditional love that we talk about and that we come from, and that is so beyond thought and feeling that we can only revel in it, in silence.

[Would love to discuss here or there --there you can see what brought these thoughts on.]

Visions beyond perfection

Posted on Jul 30th, 2009 by  Meenakshi : Connection Meenakshi
This was not a meditation with ceremony~this was a meditation in a space that was clarified by the singing of a thousand souls, by the joining of a million intentions, by the focus of countless thoughts.

Buoyed along the energies of the celestial events and earth events of the past few weeks, I journeyed to a world beyond perfection. Beyond Ram Rajya, Atlantis, Shamballa, Shangri-La. It was a vision, a daydream, imagination.

It was real, and it is now.

The first surprise was that I was immediately there, and in a moment of sitting in my unlit special room, blessed by the energies that have brought light to earth since thousands of years, there was immediate peace and joy. I was the little girl skipping along gaily in the fields of golden blossoms, which the guardian tree overlooked.

I sailed into a company of an illumined one, and at first, tried to put a face, a name. But all slid off that soft brightness, and it was the One that I venerate as nirguna - without qualities- blessing me with a vision. I sat there amidst others, and looking around, saw that all were illumined beings, all teachers, all learners. The pillars of light that I had seen at the solstice in March. There was a sense of joyful being, sacred yet not solemn.

The last vestiges of conditioning of bowing to earthly masters fell away.

All knowledge was there.

And then I was in the hallowed halls of book-lined libraries. That held the knowledge of all of creation. Akash. We were as little globes of blue light, flying, absorbing the knowledge present there, and then letting it pass.

The conditioning of needing to know words passed through.

The inner guides who are ever with me, all flickered in and out of each other! Buddha, Sananda...and then there was one whose name is non-pronounceable, not verbal, and yet approximated.

They brought a sense of lightness, joy, familiarity in the immense vastness of space.

There was something about the event horizons there...

And much traveling; and lots more coming through.

A beautiful journey, bringing together past present future imagined and not.
An hour later, I was back. And nothing has looked the same since.

I bow to the beautiful coming together of those who lift each other up to visions that are beyond perfection.
