Special Days for Meditation — August 2017
August is a fantastic month for Spirituality. We shall be having the presence of many Divine personalities on the Earth and also great Rishis. Each day of this month is favourable for Sadhana and it is very suitable for long Meditations. The energies available will assist in clearing many hurdles and issues which we have been undergoing for a long time.
We shall have the presence of Goddess Mahalakshmi, Lord Krishna, Devi Gowri and Lord Ganesha this month. An amsha of these personality descend with special energies and will be working for the welfare of humanity. We will also be able to receive help and assistance for our prayers. This period will also be very nurturing and healing.
We shall also have two eclipses this month and both are very important. Try to meditate during the entire period on both occasions and absorb as much of the energies as possible. These energies will help the induvial to cope up with the tough Pralaya phase and also in stabilizing their Sadhana.
The Solar Eclipse, along with the intense energies will also contain a lot of personalised messages and energies relating to the individuals karmic levels. Let us accept and love these energies and work towards our transformation and progress.
The Rishis mention that for those of us who are struggling with different health issues and not being able to get a cure, we can pray to Goddess Mahalakshmi and seek help.
The Rishis suggest the following healing technique. This healing technique is a gift from Goddess Mahalakshmi. This can be practiced by anybody and for a long duration as well if required.
Face East
Duration – minimum 24 minutes; upto 3 hours.
Pray to Goddess Mahalakshmi. Pray to Her for healing.
Then imagine Fluorescent light-Pink Light coming from Her and send the Light to the illness/ area of the disease and have a strong intention that you are getting healed and cured.
Repeat the mantra “Om Mahalakshmiyai, Antar Paasha Shaktiyai Namaha” silently throughout.
There are many opportunities and auspicious occasions this month and have been so in the past also. These are opportunities only if we make use of them. Otherwise they are just any other day.
During these important days, the Rishis, Lightworkers and amshas of the Divine Personalities work very hard to hep humanity. They can help us only if we are willing to be open, change and make efforts. We have to be willing to grow and transform.
There is no substitute for our sincere efforts. The growth and transformation is related directly to the effort we put in. We have to also be willing to let go of the old ways, let go of the rigidity, ways of thinking, our attitude and conditionings that are limiting us and also our fears.
We have to make up our mind and have a sincere intention to begin with. Then pursue with our efforts and action. At every juncture, pause, breathe and then act. Accept and love the tough situations. Rejecting only complicates things further. When we accept, we create space to deal with them.
Then connect to Light within and start using it in all areas of life. It will be slow initially, but with practice becomes easier. Consciously also manifest more compassion and love.
These are small steps but can lead to big changes in our life.
