Anyone have this experience or insight?

[Guest guest]

Namaste Gina,

 

Thanks much for kind words. ROTFLOL...! Yes I should hope too that

the fleas of a thousand camels never will come near me, never mind

enter my tent !! I've got a residential feline and her fleas during

summer are bad enough

 

You do not need to defer to anyone nor wonder whether your messages

and thoughts will be tolerated by any community or individual. We

are all here to share. Thank you for generously sharing a large part

of yourself in this forum. I enjoyed your interesting message and

I'm sure others will too.

 

Your Guruji gave you good advice about striving and one day you'll

get there. Most of us has the tendency to sabotage ourselves at one

time or another so you're not alone. The important thing is to

recognize it when it happens and stop whenever we know it.

 

Its great to hear you pretty much live the life of an ascetic and

feel the freedom of doing so, rather than the restrictions. You are

so right that God/dess is the " Sole Doer " . He/She carries us along

in daily life.

 

The condition of anxiety can trigger fear in some and panic attacks

in others. The phrase " frozen by fear " relates to fear being felt

mostly in the solar plexus. Some people get literally paralyzed

(frozen) from movement and stay in a frozen stance till they recover.

Others experience tension, jitteriness or jumpiness. Its essential

to try and put on finger on the type of fear felt whenever it arises.

 

Once a person knows where its coming from or what caused it, the rest

is easy. There is one method that helps stop fear or anxiety and

that is by inhaling and exhaling into a paper bag till the condition

is overcome. Not a plastic bag. Another is to practice meditating

on the solar plexus to strengthen it.

 

3 beads of Nine Mukhi rudraksha will help Or 3 beads of Eleven mukhi

will also assist with matters to do with fear. Nine mukhs are ruled

by Mother Durga and gives strength and protection. Eleven mukhi is

ruled by Hanuman, the courageous Monkey God who also bestows

protection and strength.

 

Indeed the illusion of fear is very limiting as you've so correctly

put it. Its great that you recognize fear to be an illusion. This is

a good start. There are folks who tell themselves (and their brains)

that fear does not exist and then discover later that its gone.

 

9 mukhi or 11 mukhi rudraksha will bridge the gap in between

transition as the devotee seriously undertakes meditation to overcome

fear. One way to find out whether if fear is caused by weakness of

the solar plexus is by closing the eyes and running the 3rd Eye over

all the chakras one at a time to scan them. Rudrakshas can also be

worn as a Solar Plexus Belt when strung with strong elastic (please

enquire with Rudra Centre whether they will custom make it :

/sendEnquiry.php )

 

As with all spinal problems, most sufferers sometimes take leaps

forward and then found later they are back to almost square one,

leaving only one positive step forward. One step forward is

still 'forward' and there is no looking back. The next step forward

must then be achieved steadfastly and with personal will so that it

will stay 'forward'. Physical problems are quite similar to

spiritual pursuits : one step at a time. Slow and steady wins the

race.

 

With bone injuries including the spine, its important to always keep

the effected area warm, never cold or subject to coolness or

continuing breeze or a blowing fan. For meditation, a Rudraksha Mat

will help with posture too.

 

This is a remedy recommended by a Taiwanese Tai Chi Master:

 

When the pain or discomfort appears, heat up some plain white vinegar

in a glass bowl in the microwave. Let it cool to warm temperature.

Wet a towel and wring it, then rub the affected part for at least 15

minutes. Do not discard leftover vinegar as it can be reheated. Do

this at least 3 times a day. This remedy can be used for knee pains,

shoulder aches, spasms, backaches, rheumatism and arthritis too.

 

Wishing a very speedy healing process.

 

Om Namah Shivaya
