BODY

First step of moving towards realisation of ATMA is detachment from the body. The first wrong belief which is very deeply routed within our self is that my body is ME or I am the body. So you need to realise (Not assume or believe) that your ATMA is beyond your body. Here you need to pay little attention so that you don't again trap in the wrong belief system, you don't need to believe that you are not a body but you need to realise that you are not a body. So how can you realise?

We know our body from the outside, through our image in the mirror or in the photographs or through whatever we see from our eyes. Here let me ask a question, how a blind person knows that he has a body, for eg. the hands. He feels from inside that he has a hand, right...? so if you seat quite and still and close your eyes then feel your body from within like a blind person. Start try to feel first from your foot like a blind person. then move slowly from leg to hips, pelvis, stomach, chest, shoulders, hands, neck, face, head.

When you feel your body from inside like a blind men then little separation takes place within you, and then first time you feel that your body becomes very light and If you continue to do this experiment for some time then whenever you close your eyes and do this activity then you will feel that your body is disappearing and only you have a sense that you have a body but you can not feel it any longer, at this point you can imagine your self like a leaf in the river, which is floating in the river without any efforts, completely effortless. 

This experiment will also give you total relaxation because when you start detaching from you body then you start feeling complete relaxation then in this state you can relax like never before.

Some important things to note:-

1. Try to forget about your identities while doing this like your name, your religion, your physical appearance.

2. With every breath that you inhale feel that you are blowing like a balloon and while exhale feel that you are relaxing and you loose control on your body.

3. Try to keep your spine straight but do not become very stiff, just relax as much as you can.

4. You can do this experiment while lying down as well but make sure that you keep your awareness alive otherwise you may sleep very easily.

Do this activities for some time and move in the direction for self realisation..... :-) 

  

Hi everyone,

It seems very boring to be adhyatmik (Spiritual).... isn't it? At least I used to think so and may be many of us too. That is the reason most of us do not explore this dimension at the very young age, and later on, when life situations becomes out of our control, then we hesitantly say Ok.... lets give it a try, when everything else is not working it might work. This is the story of maximum people who turned spiritual, off course this is not a good reason to be spiritual but our logical mind do not surrender very easily and it requires  a test for every thing.   

Ok... So what is being spiritual..? I think we can understand it by its hindi meaning which is 'Adhyatmik', which literally means study of self. It is not anywhere related to religion. So if you want to study your self then first you should forget your religion and all other fake identities or labels. then question arises why should I study my self...? So lets understand it in this way that many of us can operate our laptop very well but we can not fix its hardware or software related problem unless we have studied it.... isn't it? So to repair your laptop you need to study it then can we repair all our problems without study our self...?? 

Every person is different in many ways and only you can know your self better then anyone else so whatever is written about spiritualism is of no significance unless you start study yourself, off course you can use all these written materials as reference point to check whether you are going on a right direction or not, but that only when your first start observing and start studying your self but not from out side but from within. 

So what does it mean from within....?

From out side we know that we have a body, which is a face, limbs, stomach, genitals etc. and also internal organs such as heart, kidney, lever etc. and we also have experiences of our emotions very visibly such as anger, love, hatred etc., and we all know that we have a mind too. So body we know very clearly and Emotions we know very clearly but how we know that we have a mind...? we know it through our thoughts... right..?

The only way to know that we have a mind is through our thoughts. 

Adhyatma is the process by which you can realize yourself (not because others are telling you but by yourself) that there is one more state of your being which is beyond your body, mind and emotions, which we can call true self or 'ATMA'.

We will explore this beautiful dimension of ourself through this blog further so keep in touch... :-)
