Teachings Article - Three Ways to Get Enlightened
Thursday Apr 04, 2024
Thursday Apr 04, 2024
There are three paths to enlightenment. The first is cultivating the knowing or feeling of being Shiva. The second path is to fill your mind with the energy of Consciousness by doing more mantra. The third path is to delve into the yoga practices that you resonate with. Most importantly, the support and guidance of a Master will help you on your path to enlightenment.

3/3/24 Duality and Delusion
Monday Apr 01, 2024
Monday Apr 01, 2024
You are an individual form of Consciousness, with the whole of Consciousness intact within you. The One becomes many, so that each of the many can come to know their own Self as the One. When you know your own Self you can face reality as it is. In this being and seeing there’s no duality, there’s no delusion. What freedom!

2/18/24 Mind Body Continuum
Monday Mar 18, 2024
Monday Mar 18, 2024
Your thoughts and feelings affect your pranic field, and your pranic field determines the condition of your physical body. Your mind is so powerful it can delude you for lifetimes. But it can also free you from delusion. As you delve inward, you discover that your mind comes from a more powerful level of inner perception. It is always dependent on the Self.

Teachings Article - Duality is Reality
Thursday Mar 14, 2024
Thursday Mar 14, 2024
Your mind lives in multiple realities simultaneously. Unfortunately, this is called delusion. The fictional events in your mind are real. They have real effects on your mind and body. When you are not yet enlightened, you think God is separate from you. This is called duality. But there is only One Divine Reality, who is the source and substance of all that exists.

If all you ever do is familiar stuff, the rest of your life will be a replay of what you’ve done so far. Is this what you want? Or do you want something more? People sometimes tell me it feels weird, it’s strange. Yes. It means you aren’t who you used to be. And you’re not yet who you’re going to be. You’re in a process and you…

Friday Mar 01, 2024
Friday Mar 01, 2024
Yoga says your body is the outermost layer of your own individual presence here on earth. Your prana, or life force, makes your body be a living, breathing body. You are the One Divine Reality who has taken on a body in order to live in this world and have experiences. And there is more to you! Discover your multidimensionality beyond your body and breath.

Most people invest a tremendous amount of mental and emotional energy in fear and desire. And when their desire is thwarted, they get angry. So, they are either anxious or angry most of the time.

Friday Feb 16, 2024
Friday Feb 16, 2024
Yoga says that your feeling of being separate, unique, and different is what causes all your pain. The power of Consciousness produces many forms, each one feeling separate from the One Formless Reality. But everything is made of the One Formless Reality. And that One Divine Reality is being you. Right now, and always.

Your energy field, your aura, extends beyond the edges of your body. It enlivens and sustains your physical body, but it depends on how your energies are flowing, which is a function of your mind. Yoga’s goal is Self-Knowingness, which gives you the bliss, as well as the mastery of your mind, your energies, and your body.

Friday Feb 02, 2024
As an individual, you are a contracted form of Consciousness, so you don’t experience the fullness of your inherent bliss and Divinity all the time. At least not yet. You are already Shiva, but you don’t live in the Knowingness and Beingness that you are. Can you see your own light and feel your inherent beingness while living your life? Yoga makes it possible.

We haven’t found the real abode of bliss. We haven’t learned how to obtain it. And for this reason, we remain unhappy. The closer we get to the inner Self, the more happiness we experience. Happiness is your true nature. Happiness is inherent to you. Your own Self is the embodiment of happiness. Like ice is the embodiment of water, your own body, mind, heart and soul are the embodiment of Consciousness. – Gurudevi Nirmalananda
