Why we cannot be great yogis... (part 5)

(previous posts)

Another reason you cannot be a great yogi is that to become one one needs to give realization to many, many, so many people. 

And for many, many, so many reasons you cannot do that.

First you are very shy so you cannot really speak to people.

Then, you are not even sure if it will be of any help as if you give them realization. They don’t come back anyway, so why bother.

Also what difference would it make, one or two more realized people. There are 7 billion people on earth. Few more realized would not make any difference.

Another reason one cannot be a super great yogi is that the environment is totally against you even since you were born.

Your parents were not yogis so their vibrations positively influenced you in a negative way.

Your school buddies were not the most pure ones.

Then high school and university. If you but knew...

Even now, when you are a yogi, all goes against your spiritual evolution: the work place, the city with the bad publicity, the TV shows that do not have good vibes but are fun to watch and all the books you read that do not have the good influence over your chakras.

All, but I mean, all, keep you from becoming a great yogi. And for no fault of yours in any way.

Why we cannot be great yogis ... (part 3)

(read previous posts)


Sometime we do dumb stuff. We do. But trust me "Mother you do everything, I do nothing" does not apply for those.

We do some very, very, very bad stuff sometime that cannot be the doings of great yogis. You know, sometime we skip foot soak. Yes, we do. Especially when we visit some friends and spend the night there. Yes, my friends that is true.

And you would not believe it. Sometimes we have short meditation. Only 30 minutes that is. When we are tired on in a hurry, we have short meditation. Or even worse. This you will not believe it: sometimes, yogis, skip a meditation. Yes, believe it or not, it happens.

One more reason we cannot and we’ll never be a great yogi is that we don’t believe we can be one.

"What, who me? No way. I, who read those three bootish books when I was young? No way.

And I, who stole cherries from neighbours when I was ten or so. Cannot be.

I, who has such a left vishuddhi? I feel so guilty even when I think what vishuddhi I have... No way."

And trust me you cannot reach the top the mountain if you don’t believe you can reach the top of the mountain.

As simple as that.

Why we cannot be great yogis...

I am here today, to explain why we cannot be great yogis.

Yogis yes, good yogis, maybe, but great yogis, never.

Don’t get me wrong. There is no reason to feel bad. Not being able to be great yogis is in no way any of our fault. No, no way.

One reason is that we are so busy, that we don’t have time to become great yogis.

We wake up in the morning and say: "5 more minutes..."

After those five minutes, what do we say? "Just five more minutes..." and again and again.

Then what do we say? "Oh my God, I have 3 minutes to leave the house..." What about meditation? "Oh, well, a bandhan will do for now and I promise I’ll have footsoak, candle treatment and long meditation tonight to make up for sleeping in."

Then night comes and when tired you crash on the couch you remember the morning promise, but you say: "Just one show and after that I’ll footsoak and candle and meditate double time.."

The show comes and goes, but another even more interesting one is ready to start... So you say: "well one more show did not kill anybody and after that I’ll footsoak and meditate"

One more show goes and yet another one starts so you find the perfect solution: "footsoak during the show and meditation after..."

Of course, by the end of all the shows it is way too late and somebody told you that meditating late night is not good (even harmful some say) so you crash into the bed with the strong promise that you will wake up earlier in the morning to meditate longer as morning meditations are the best...

Know thyself

Animals teach meditation 7: our hands can talk!

Each chakra has been assigned a zone on the hand - here is a chart. But again, refer to a teacher for further info on what to do with the info you get from your hands.
Anyone wants to report a special feeling in one of the fingers? which hand was that?

Animals teach meditation 6: start your meditation practice

Advice from both our animal and human meditation experts: meditation is deeper when you do it in a group. Join a meditation group near you! See here (if your country is not listed, contact us).

Animals teach meditation 5: checking vibrations again...

Or ask a friend... Anyway, let us know what you felt.

Animals teach meditation 4: get your Self Realization

Warning: if you are a human, especially an adult, animal lessons could not be enough for you to properly learn meditation. Please refer to a human instructor for more details - we'd be happy to refer you to one if you ask.

If you're a cat, don't worry: your natural ability to hunt will not disappear.

What will vanish is just the added violence you might have got from living with a nervous human or in a violent human environment. :))

Animals teach meditation

As our star Garfield is out for a short vacation :), we are starting a new series, "Animals teach meditation". If you´ve got photos of animals looking like they are meditating, please contribute.

Lesson 1: Is meditation for me?

 For copyright owners of the photos: please don't get our hides. No money will be made out of this kind of meditation!
