Special Days for Meditation — July 2020
The impact of the first half of this year on humanity has been quite intense. It has influenced all, whether they accepted it or not. This period gave space to humanity as a whole to introspect on its activities and actions. For most, it was a period where they had to confront their insecurities and priorities along with both their past and future. Some were able to wisely use this phase to refocus, heal and tune themselves.
The second half of the year is also expected to continue with the same intensity. During this period, more of the global affairs will get exposed. The darkness and greed of humanity and of nations have been surfacing for some years now. This process will accelerate further. Recognition and taking corrective steps will depend solely on humanity.
For us, the Spiritual practitioners, the way forward is simple. Good living, adopting positivity and being flexible is the key aspects. Along with these, connect to Light, adopt the Divine Principles and finally experience Light as much as possible.
The past month has been energetically powerful with varied and vibrant energies being spread across the Earth. The energies guide humanity and help in further transformation. This process continues during July as well. There are various occasions where new energies will be released to the Earth. Consciously connect to them and meditate more if possible. This will also help our bodies to tune up to them and the ongoing processes better.
The transition has intensified and we have to start coping up with the new “normal”. The Divine is also working very hard to help humanity through this period. DashaAmasha Purusha, the 2020 Purusha and the Divine Personalities being invoked each month are working along with the Rishis to aid humanity. We can consciously connect to them with faith and our unconditional love and then seek help and guidance.
Presently we have the guidance of ParaBrahma directly. Make use of this period and meditate more. Absorb as much of His Light and energies as possible. Spiritual growth will be much better. We can also connect to him for any guidance.
Humanity needs a lot of healing presently. So the Rishis have invoked a Goddess to guide us this month. We can refer to her as “July Shakti”. She will be anchoring energies relating to kindness, compassion, healing and nurturing.
We can practice the following technique to connect with Her and experience the energies —
Face East
Duration -12 to 60 mins
Begin with 7 rounds of Pranayama with Pink Light
Then offer your love, light, gratitude and respects to July Shakti.
Then imagine dark-Pink Light coming from July Shakti and allow this Light to fill you completely. Experience for some time.
Then extend the same Light to your heart and lungs and imagine them to absorb the Light.
Keep experiencing this throughout the Meditation. Repeat the mantra “Om Sapta Shaktiyai, Deepthi Karunaya Namaha” silently.
The pandemic has brought large focus on our physical self. It can range from our health to lifestyle. We can utilize this period to reorganise ourselves or tune ourselves in the areas we are falling short. Physical fitness is important. We also have to take care of our mental health.
One key and simple practice is deep breathing. Practice this whenever you feel stressed or panicked. This will help calm you down. Regularly practice this and make it a habit. It will help you be Present as well as calm your thoughts and actions.
Our Mental healing is also important. Consciously try to positivize on all your emotions. Let a few outbreaks and failures not deter your efforts. In fact, every time we succeed is a step forward. We have to gradually outgrow all our shortcomings and negative emotions like frustration, fear, hatred, resentment, selfishness and greed. Finally anger.
This period of the pandemic helps us to go within and understand ourselves. It teaches us to accept and to live with ourselves as we are. Many find it difficult to be “cooped” up at home. The compulsive socializers are escaping facing themselves. This is the period to heal and outgrow such resistance. It is a journey of accepting ourselves and loving ourselves, in the existing circumstance.
Dealing with oneself may seem inconsequential or silly to many, but if we are able to be kind and loving with ourselves, half the problems we face will actually go away.
Regarding the Covid19 pandemic, practice the shielding technique daily (published in March Special Days). It helps to remove the fear and anxiety within and also heal the situations that expose us to this. In case you land up testing positive, work on your inner fears. This will help with your immunity and recovery. Additionally, keep imagining dark bottle Green Light in your Lungs and keep experiencing. It will help immensely.
The Special Days in July are —
5th July — Guru Purnima
Lunar Eclipse 8:37am to 11:22am IST
Guru Purnima is the day we honour our Guru, the Formless God or ParaBrahma. It is a wonderful opportunity to express our Love and Gratitude to God and then connect to Him and experience.
We have Light flowing from ParaBrahma during this entire month, more so on this day. This is the day we receive the maximum energies from ParaBrahama. The energies this year will be different than the previous years and they will help us through these tumultuous times.
We will also have a Lunar Eclipse on this day. This is the third eclipse of the series and the energies released during this are very important. They will influence humanity individually. The energies of the eclipse and from ParaBrahma will contain answers for many of our unanswered questions and solutions to our long term prayers.
Meditate as much as you can throughout the Eclipse and absorb as much Light as possible within you. Other than this, connect to ParaBrahma as well and try to experience Him. Place your concerns and prayers to God before your Meditation. Be open to receiving any answers and Blessings. Also, use the opportunity to balance the Spiritual and Material aspects of life.
We also observe the birth anniversaries of Maharshi Veda Vyasa and Maharshi Vasishtha on this day. We will be able to feel their presence and experience their energies too. Connect to these two Rishis along with ParaBrahma.
