Innocence

"If there is one child, it can entertain at least hundred people. What is so sweet about the child? Is the innocence: the way he speaks, the way he talks, the way he behaves, the way he expresses his love. It’s so simple but it has something in the essence, this innocence of Shri Ganesha." - Excerpt from Shri Ganesha Puja, Cabella, 10 Sep 1995

Yesterday was a very hot day.  After helping out at the new seekers class, I was feeling very tired and lethargic.  Came home and did a nice, long footsoak and decided to give myself a nice head rub with lots of coconut oil.  It's one of those rare occasions when I get such a nice "Me" time and took the chance while Miss A was still napping.  Body cooled down so much and was feeling much better.

When Miss A woke up, I decided that she needs a nice oil bath and head rub too since she was feeling hot and bothered.  We usually take turns to massage her before bed, but lately we haven't got much time to do it.  After dinner, gave her a nice oil massage, from head to toe.  And then gave her a nice warm shower and purposely didn't wash off the excess oil.  Powdered her up and she was ready for the night.

Then made her footsoak while watching a kids guided meditation video from Mother's Love while I cleared her.  During meditation, she touched my face and pulled me towards her and gave me a kiss.  All of a sudden. Her vibrations were better after footsoaking and now we were both ready for bed.

On a working day, my bedtime is usually around 11pm-12am.  Miss A would wait for me to finish my things before going to bed with me.  It is not an ideal bedtime for her and I should try to finish up earlier.  

But yesterday, it was a Sunday, I was feeling very tired and decided to finished things earlier and went to bed by 10 - 10.30pm.  Before bed, I gave her a bottle of chilled fresh milk.  Usually I warmed it up for her, but I just want to try out chilled milk and see if she is ok with it.  

I laid down beside her and gave her the bottle.  She pulled up the blanket to cover both of us and drank her milk.  She insisted that she must use my arm as her pillow while she laid down and drank her milk and she sang the song, "Good Night, Sweet Dreams" with the milk bottle in her mouth.  

I can see that after the nice oil massage, Miss A calmed down considerably.  Although she is not one of those toddlers with amazing tantrums, I could sense that the heat of the day was making her irritated.  Was such a good idea to massage her with oil before bath.  Perhaps I should do this on a weekly basis.

Felt a stronger bond with her too.  Enjoyed her innocence very much and hope she can keep this innocence with her forever.

Matka pot treatment - Night 1

Image
I started the matka pot treatment last night.  Been feeling a lot of left agnya catch lately, so thought that it is high time to do a matka pot treatment.  Here is what we need: 7 limes (I heard in Belgium, they used 7 lemons, so the pot that they used is so big and they have a hard time trying to dispose the pot after the 7 nights).  Cut the top of the limes to expose a bit of the flesh. 7 chillies.  Remove the top of the chillies (I don't know what you call, stem or stalk).  I used small chillies so that they can fit into the matka pot. 1 matka pot (here in Malaysia we used claypot that they cooked claypot rice, glazed inside so that it will not leak) Vibrated water So, you put everything into the pot and vibrate in front of Shri Mataji's photo.  Pray that the matka pot will absorb all the catches and negativities.  Then place it on the left side of the bed.  I put it under the bed but you can also put it on a side table on your left side.  Just be carefu

Information for pregnant Sahaja Yoginis

I have decided to gather all information for pregnant Sahaja Yoginis here.  This is probably not conclusive, so please feel free to add on if you have anymore inputs.  To read more about it, please go to amruta.org.   I guess the experience varies from individual to individual.  But I was very sensitive to vibrations and negativity when I was in my first trimester.  So much so that sometimes I have to do 2-3 times footsoak in a row in order to feel better.  But it gets better in the second trimester. As for havan, I was told that pregnant ladies can attend havan but have to sit far from the fire and don't sit too long.  This was advice by the Vashi doctors.  But my own experience, in which I attended one havan, I didn't feel good after that.  It's just my personal feelings about it as I was ultra-sensitive.  But I read some yoginis wrote that pregnant ladies should not attend havan altogether.  So, it really depends.  I guess you could always check vibrations to find

Sahaja Yoga has cured me - Part 1

Image
I was reading back my old posts and I realised that I have not posted even once on how Sahaja Yoga has helped me although I keep saying that it has.  How can I forget the miracles that it has brought me and has a big effect on my life. Between 2004-2006 (I forgot exactly which year it happened), one night after my part-time class, I came back late.  I had skipped dinner as I was late for class.  So after class, I just stopped at McD and bought myself some french fries.  I was not hungry anymore.  So I came back home and just drank a glass of cold milk.  I went to sleep after the meal. The next day as usual I went to work.  My stomach was already not feeling so well.  I have lost appetite and again didn't eat proper breakfast and lunch.   I was already tasting sourness in my mouth but I just ignored it.  Then I was going to meet a friend for dinner.  While driving to her place, I drank a lot of water.  That was what triggered the beginning of my nightmare (short nightmare).
