Spirit of Numbers: Be Bliss ™ 2010 Forecast!! December 12, 2009

                                                                                          Outlook for 2010 by the Spirit of Numbers

               Alright…who is ready for a new YEAR, a new VIBRATION, a new VISON??  Well, you are going to get it in 2010.    In case you missed it, 2009 was all about completion, cleansing, getting rid of what wasn’t working, what was holding us back, and what was not serving our soul.  It all had to go, so we didn’t take it in to the next 9 year cycle with us.   A time of cleaning house, big time.  So, know that while that still may be fininshing up for the first part of the year, or giving those a little extra time to move onward on their soul’s journey, we are headed into entirely new territory for the new year. 

A 10 year is an ALL OR NOTHING year!  You are either in it, or…not.  Use this energy to really go forth with your plans.   While this powerful energy can really propel you into a new dimension, be aware that this all or nothing spirit can be a little draining without extra precautions, for the nervous system especially.  Be sure to not burn the candle at BOTH ends; one side is plenty.  10 represents the radiant body, so keep up with your personal practice to keep your radiance shining and brilliant.   10 is the archetype of the king/queen; draw from the strength of the noble, royalty within.  You may notice that ‘others’ (remember Yogi Bhajan’s sutra for the Aquarian Age:  REMEMBER THE OTHER PERSON IS YOU!  yeah, i catch myself with that one all the time!!)  can be prone to a ‘fighting mood’ or feeling entitled, with that regal backing of the 10. 

The positive mind is going to have a big influence this year.  This entire year 2+0+1+0 = 3, and 3 is about seeing all of the creative possibilities in a situation.   So use that when things just aren’t working.  You will need to find another way.   Get creative and juicy this year and have some fun!  3 can be  very emotional number and with the combination of that 10, it can be a very intense combination.  A great way to deal with that is to keep the navel point strong.  HOW?  Sat Kriya will keep you steady, balanced, and unshakeable.   3-11 minutes a day will make a huge difference.  Try it for 40 days and let me know how it transforms your life. 

Wishing you all the love, peace and prosperity for the new year!  Infinite blessings, Raji

Sat Nam, Hello!  I am inspired to share a very special meditation this week that can be used to offer healing energy to yourself or others.   If you know someone  (including yourself) who needs healing on any level, physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, this meditation can help, it is a rare gem.   When you meditate on behalf of someone else’s healing, you are also healed in the process, what a win-win!  It’s a nice way to also feel like you can ‘do’ something for your loved one in their time of need.  Check out www.spiritvoyage.com for many musical variations for the Siri Gaitri Mantra.  A couple of my favorites are Snatam Kaur’s version and Gurudass Singh and Kaur’s from Circle of Light, which is the one I will use on the video.   Have fun, chant this often and help heal our planet. 

Meditation of the Week:  Healing with the Siri Gaitri Mantra

Mudra: Elbows are tucked into the ribs, palms are flat, facing up, fingers are together and the thumbs are spread.

Mantra:  Raa Maa Daa Saa, Saa Say So Hung (pull in navel on So and Hung)  Inhale between repetitions.  Pronunciate each word carefully.  Chant for 11-31 minutes.

Raa=Sun  Maa=Moon  Daa=Earth  Saa=Infinity Say=Thou So Hung=I am thou.  A healing mantra which brings balance and stimulate the kundalini flow for healing. 

To End:  Inhale deep and hold the breath, visualize the person you wish to heal (and yourself).  See them healthy, safe, strong and surrounded by white light.  Exhale.  Inhale, repeat the hold offer prayer.  Then lift your arms and shake them out.

Until Next Time, May The Long Time Sun Shine Upon You, Raji

Sat Nam Hello! If viewing from Facebook, please click on ‘view original post’ icon for the full meal deal. Thanks for tuning in to check out this week’s meditation. The meditation I will share this week is Sat Kriya, one of the foundations of Kundalini Yoga.   Sat Kriya balances and strengthens the entire lower triangle, the lower chakras.    This kriya directly works with stimulating the kundalini energy.  This energy can be described as your full human potential.  When I am pressed for time, a couple of minutes of Sat Kriya raises the energy up enough to get me through my day with some ‘siss bang boom’!! For those familiar with Sat Kriya,  get right to it or  skip down to the second section and second video for details on the ‘Sat Kriya Workout’; my new favorite breakfast.

Meditation of the Week- Sat Kriya

Posture-Sit on the heels with the arms extended up over the head, palms together. The fingers are interlaced and the index fingers extend up. For women, cross the left thumb in front of the right thumb, men- opposite.

Mantra- Chant SAT as you pull in the navel point. Chant NAM as you relax and release the navel. Sat Nam means truth is my identity.

Continue for 3-31 minutes. (BUILD SLOWLY!!)

To end- Inhale the breath, apply mulbandh (lift up on the muscles of the pelvic floor) allow the energy to move up the spine. Exhale, hole the breath out, apply mulbandh. Inhale and relax. Always rest on back after Sat Kriya for equal amount of time as the kriya was done.

Sat Nam, Hello.  This year, according to numerology is a ’9′ year.  The number 9 represents the Subtle Body, our body’s ability to tap into intuition and a sense of knowing and feeling all.  It is a time of bringing things into completion and wrapping up loose ends.  Clearing out the stuff that is no longer serving you.  This meditation will help you carry you through this 2009.  Give it a try, my husband and I are in the middle of a 40 day meditation with this one!  Most meditations are great to do anytime, this one is best in the evening. 

Isht Sodhana Mantra Kriya (lecture available from www.kriteachings.org )

Posture- Easy pose, straight spine

Mudra- Hands in Gian Mudra (thumb and forefinger touch)

Eyes- 9/10ths closed, focus at the nose

Mantra- Dharti Hai (relates to the earth)  visualize from navel down GRAY

                  Akash Hai (relates to the ethers) visualize from brow point up BLUE (still see Gray also)

                 Guru Ram Das Hai (compassion of the heart) visualize bright WHITE at heart center (and gray and blue)

To End- Inhale, hold the breath, hold the visualization of the gray of the earth, blue of the ethers, white of the heart, exhale the breath.  Inhale, stretch arms up over head, shake arms, relax.

Have fun with this,  share it with a friend.   Until next week, May the Long Time Sun Shine Upon You, Raji

Sat Nam, Hello! Have you said hello to your aura, your electromagnetic field today? That’s what we’ll be up to today. This shield surrounds the body and gives us protection (from illness and disease, other people’s stuff, negativity, etc) and also affords us a great magnetic presence and a energy about us that can attract what we want into our lives. Stress eats away at the magnetic field, causing us to lose our luster; the good news is we can build it back up again. Enough talk, it’s all about the experience; try this meditation, you won’t believe what a few minutes of hard work will do for you.

Meditation of the Week:

Breath of Fire With Lion’s Paw- To reset the brain’s electromagnetic field

Posture-Easy comfortable posture with straight spine

Mudra-Curl the fingers into the pads of the hands. Create tension in all of the fingers and maintain that tension throughout.

Movement-On the exhale, bring the hands up over the crown and cross the wrists. With great tension, pull down as you inhale and lower the arms parallel to the floor, palms up. Repeat, Repeat, and Repeat. Continue for up to 9 minutes.

To end-continue the movement with the tongue out of the mouth for 15 seconds. Inhale, hold breath 15 seconds. Exhale and inhale again, hold breath 30 seconds (or work up to that) The arms are above the head still. Exhale and relax. Bring the hands into gian mudra on knees and meditate at the heart center for 3 more minutes.

This meditation is a quick, easy (well, maybe not THAT easy) way to have a powerful and immediate effect on the brain and magnetic field.

Thank yourself immensely for taking the time for yourself, and thanks for checking in with Be Bliss Yoga. Until next time, May the Long Time Sun Shine Upon You, Raji
