Attunement

The use of mantras has been a part of many spiritual traditions for thousands of years. Mantras are sounds, words or phrases that are repeated over and over again during meditation or other spiritual practices.

The use of mantras can calm the mind primarily by focusing your thoughts. It is this ability to focus your thoughts which is the real power of Mantras, as it allows you to overcome some of the distractions which your mind generates. The sound vibrations of the mantras can resonate with different energies within the human energy mechanism, to promote a greater sense of balance and harmony, and promote a sense of peace and inner tranquillity.

Different mantras are associated with different benefits or intentions and are often chosen based on the individual’s spiritual beliefs and goals. For example, the mantra “Om” is often used to promote a sense of unity and connection with the universe and is commonly used in many different spiritual practices.

The use of mantras can be a powerful tool for spiritual growth and self-discovery. They can help you to deepen your connection to your inner self and the universe.

An important aspect of some meditative practices relates to achieving a nothingness or emptiness within. Vacuus and Suyna are terms with their roots in Buddhist and Taoist philosophy referring to a state of emptiness or nothingness, but with slightly different nuances. While these aspects can be described and used separately, both practices relate to achieving a nothingness or emptiness within. Vacuus and Suyna can be used together for greater effectiveness, allowing a more transformational state of being.

In Latin the term Vacuus rather simply means empty, emptiness or void, that being the lack of substance. In Buddhist philosophy, Vacuus refers to the emptiness or lack of existence of all phenomena. This emptiness or lack of substances, sometimes referred to as the void is seen as the ultimate nature of reality. Some people may spend a significant amount of time meditating just on this one aspect of creation, becoming Vacuus.

Sunya on the other hand is a Sanskrit term that means emptiness but with a slightly different context where zero (or nothingness) is the source of everything. In Taoist philosophy, Sunya refers to the emptiness of the universe, which is seen as the source of all creation. This emptiness is importantly not empty as one may think, but rather the potentiality which exists within the void and the potential which lies within all of us.

When both Vacuus and Sunya are used in concert, they both harmonise to focus your meditation on the importance of cultivating a sense of openness and a true emptiness with the mind. There is much which can be learnt through the simple practice of bringing the ultimate emptiness within your mind and your entire being during any meditation or mindfulness practices.

Your astrological key code is encoded within you at the time of your birth due to the ambient solar system energies. This astrological key code is similar to the programming within an app on your smartphone or computer program. It helps to define your standard pre-programmed ways of thinking and reactions to life.

At the time of your birth, the energies of the constellation behind the Sun (your Sun sign) will be amplified to create astrological programming within you. This precast programming contains a blueprint of the emotional reactions you will have, the type of thought patterns you resonate with, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of your body. The personality traits and aspects of your birth constellation will form an underlying basis for how you think and the flow of emotions in your life. It is because of this astrological key code, that you will react more strongly to different people and situations in your life.

When the ambient energies of the Solar System or constellations resonate more strongly with your astrological key code, then it is likely you will react or respond with greater intensity. So now, you may begin to appreciate how different people can absorb, process and respond to the same situations in life in completely different ways, as their astrological key code colours their life and reactions.

Sequestering your emotions and thoughts can be an appropriate way of managing them from a mental mind standpoint. These subdued emotions will normally not create problems when you undertake mindfulness or basic meditation, as the power of your mind can maintain them metaphorically under control. Even if these concealed thoughts or emotions are not leading to problems, be aware that you have pushed them aside. Suppressing an emotion does not admonish an emotion.

When these energies trigger one of these suppressed thoughts or emotions, the intensity of that thought or emotion will be increased as a result of the greater energy levels from your awakening. Hopefully, you can now comprehend why it is so necessary to know yourself, to be aware of and understand all of your thoughts and emotions, even those which you might not wish to deal with.

As humankind, we have been dwelling within this material manifestation for many aeons. Yet for most of us, the energy framework we live within is barely recognised and frequently misunderstood. For your improved wellbeing, and to attain bona fide awakening, the functioning of the intricate human mechanism needs to be both acknowledged and understood.

Some people are incrementally becoming aware of the existence of an energy which is distinct but associated with the physical body; this unseen power source is that of your Life Force. Know that as humans, we can see less than one-hundredth of a per cent of the identified electromagnetic spectrum. This restricts our perception of the diverse phases of energies which exist within the universe and within us.

Despite the fact that our physical structure appears solid, the scientific truth is that the structure of matter and the human physical form itself is predominately void. In addition to the aspect of the physical body, there are numerous additional component parts which comprise the entire human mechanism. These components all carry out indispensable functions within the human mechanism giving rise to form, function and the many aspects of thoughts, emotions and consciousness. Perhaps now you may begin to become aware that you are actually a complex and interwoven energy mechanism, and not simply the physical flesh and bones which we see.

We all want to reconnect to the spiritual or inner aspects of ourselves, but how often does the ritual supplant the actual endeavours? If you undertake meditation in the hope of enlightenment or knowledge, precisely how much time, and with whom you meditate, ought to not be the driving imperative or the reason for doing meditation. When the apparent aesthetics or actions become more important than our true experience and connection with the inner self, then ritual predominates and prevails over the spiritual discipline. It is then that the connection to your true self is lost and you lose your way.

What is more important in reconnecting to your spirituality is that your meditation or spiritual practice has really enabled you to reach within to your inner self. The greatest achievement is in comprehending how your spiritual practice has allowed you to change your heart and transform your thoughts and feelings into those of kindness and humility. Always make every effort to reconnect to your inner self through meditation or in your spiritual efforts as this can enable growth and bring to light a genuine and authentic awakening.

The living vitalities which exist in all living things, manifest as your Life Force . While a lot has been blogged about the innate power source of the human mechanism, you may still consider that this is a mystery or a secret. You may well relate to your Life Force energy as an inner awareness, your genuine soul or spirit, to label but a small few. Some may see this idea of a separate indwelling power as mystical, strange, obscure or even intangible. The opportunity to work with your Life Force energies is not a secret nor an enigma but it is possible through the advanced meditation skills of Cognition (a real calmness of mind) and Ekagrata (focused thoughts).

Stop and discover how to command your mind, instead of your mind, emotions and feelings being the commander of your life. Tapping into the energies of your inner light or Life Force through cognition can aid you to shift away from the patterns of your passive intellect. Doing so permits you to liberate your thinking as you release your way of thinking from your mental and emotional limitations and the associated reactions of the lower consciousness.

Each of us have some form of stress which impacts on our lives. Appropriately recognising and dealing with it can lead to a more balanced and healthy life. There are many schools of thought as to the root cause of stress. However, a new way to look at stress, is that stress is purely a build-up of energy. As you experience life, your own thoughts and reactions can lead to an accumulation of energy within different areas of the mind and body. If this build-up of energy is not appropriately dissipated, the overload of emotional energy will cause issues for the human mechanism.

While we can still consider the traditional aspects of stress, this new slant on stress provides you with an opportunity. When you start to feel stressed, find a way to release the build-up of emotional energy so that it does not hurt you or others around you.

Some simple techniques can be utilised to help you destress by draining away these overloads of energy. One simple method can entail taking a few minutes out in meditation or mindfulness to seeing yourself near a lake or ocean, seeing the emotional energy draining away into the water. Another similar method is to stand on the earth, then think of the emotional energy being drawn away into the ground. Alternatively, if you are practised in breath works, then you can see these excess energies flowing out as dark clouds when you exhale.

As you continue your journey on the pathway of awakening, you will face many challenges. Not all of these challenges seem obvious or straightforward. Every day we all express different thoughts and emotions. However, certain emotions can cause more problems than others as they feed your lower ego.

These lower emotions are typically characterised by fear, arrogance, rage, despondency, jealousy and greed and can be analogous to many aspects of the seven deadly sins. You should strive to recognise any aspects of these lower emotions within you. Where you do find any thoughts, emotions or feelings of this nature, you should do your best to bring these aspects under control, then banish them from every facet of your life. If you allow these emotions to be retained within, they will feed your lower ego with energy, giving the mind the opportunity to then regain its power over you and your life.

Your Spark of Life is the true unemotional component within you. It is an omnipresent force within you, representing the seed of creative energy of the cosmos. Within many ancient writings, it has been described as the capability of Gods within. Such writings have been referring to your creative Spark of Life within, which means that you are a creative being. However, you need to take this in the context that you are an energy being. Expressed more simply, you are part of the Universal Presence manifesting within material life.
