5 Things to Do for the Solar Eclipse May 20, 2012

“The sun, moon, and stars are your teachers.” – Yogi Bhajan

We are fast approaching an important astrological event on Sunday May 20, 2012. A south node solar eclipse which aligns the Earth, Sun and Moon with the Pleiadian Star System which contains the Central Sun Alcyone. The Mayans have said that it takes 26,000 years for our solar system to rotate around this central sun and that they are the direct descendents of the Plaedian Star People.
This is the first of four major eclipses scheduled for 2012. Eclipses open energetic doorways to bring dramatic shifts in mass consciousness. The record number of eclipses was five in 1935 and these powerful energies were the harbingers of WWII.

As Above, So Below

The ancients long ago observed that we are impacted by the movement of the planets and stars. The earth, moon and sun is our cosmic trinity. The Sun represents the Soul – self-illuminated and radiant. The Moon represents the Mind – only able to reflect the light of the Soul and the Earth represents our finite existence.

The Sabian symbol for May 20, 2012 is “A glass-bottomed boat reveals undersea wonders”.

This solar eclipse will bring tremendous light into the dark watery depths of the Unconscious Mind which usually remains locked and inaccessible. The Unconscious is the deepest part of our mind and is a container for buried thoughts, emotions, sensations and images from our collective human experiences. Even though the Unconscious remains hidden it can be controlling your life – when triggered it can bring forward strong irrational emotional responses.

The energy from the Solar Eclipse will force you to face and release the long buried greebly emotions – guilt, anger, hatred, jealousy, greed, lust, grief, sadness and terror. This energy will also bring into light the beliefs and soul patterns that you may have inherited ancestrally – the ones you have never dared to question. It is time to see in truth how they have stopped you from the realization of your True Spiritual Nature. Eclipses also bring a finality, a completion to a karmic pattern that has been running your life or perhaps lifetimes. Facing the Unconscious Mind with the courage of a spiritual warrior will bring you to a greater clarity of your hidden greatness and destiny in this incarnation. This is a time of major awakening. Receive these powerful transmissions of energy and be prepared to open to a whole new world within you – the kingdom of heaven.

5 Things You Can You Do?

1. Be Near Water - It is said that we will be most affected by this energy three days before and three days after the eclipse on Sunday. Yogi Bhajan instructed to be near water during an eclipse – a lake, an ocean or even your bathtub.

2. Resist the powerful urge to react. Be still and go deep inside yourself to fully feel any emotions that may surface. Treat emotions like tourists – welcome them but them move on.

3. Meditate with Mantra

“ … that is why we do not meditate without mantra…when you meditate
without mantra you can clean the subconscious. But when you
meditate with mantra you can clean the unconscious. You can destroy the akashic record. “ – Yogi Bhajan

4. Receive -  Solar eclipses are always new moons, this one however is a new moon on steroids – especially with the energy the Central Sun Alcyone fueling it from afar. New moons are always about new beginnings so be aware of inspirations coming from the Soul to be manifested later in 2012.

Your Life is a Movie – How to Change the Reel?

Life is a movie. Grab your popcorn and enjoy the show. -Yogi Bhajan

Everything in the world is a reflection of our consciousness and movies are one of the most popular past times for humanity especially in the western world. It is fun to look at movies from a spiritual perspective to learn about what is going on at the collective unconscious level. When we reincarnate we come into the ultimate 3D- surround-sound-movie-theater called the Earth Plane.  The ancients called it Maya – that which is not. Everything we see is energy vibrating at different frequencies that our  brain reinterprets as real and we all have agreed  -  this is reality. The problem is not the movie – the problem is our relationship to the movie. We let the ego relate to the movie of our life and not the Soul.

Here’s how the Ego Relates to Your Movie:

Won’t Stay Seated – constantly getting up to scream at the movie screen in an attempt to try to change how the story is going.

Resistance – incessant commentating on what’s wrong with the movie – bored and disappointed with the story line.

Fighting – yelling at the images on the screen blaming them for how we are feeling or what they did to us in a prior scene 20 years ago.

Tuning Out – we fall asleep or intoxicate ourselves so we miss the beauty and depth of the all the scenes.

Blaming -  blaming and punishing ourselves for what is happening to the characters on the screen.

Jumping Ahead -  Focusing our attention on what we think is going to happen next usually something negative.

How to Change the Movie?

When you relate to the Movie from your Soul you realize that  the movie is just rolling along and you stay seated in your seat at all times. We all know how to change the movie – you go to the back and change the film reel.  You change the film reel by accepting that everything that you see on the screen is just a reflection of your own MIND. Those characters are all aspects of you – if you don’t like a character it is just an aspect of yourself you have not accepted. Everything that happens in your movie is to show you yourself.  That is the great cosmic joke – you are the only one in the movie theater ! This is your movie so my may as well enjoy it !

The difference between the False Self (ego) and True Self (soul)

As we move through this profound time of transformation it is crucial that we ALL release what is Not True in our lives.  All around the world – old archaic Piscean institutions (governments, corporations, western medicine and more) are crumbling before our very eyes. Anything on this planet that has been created from Ego (separation) and not the Soul (unity) is dismantling and so too our inner world is falling apart. With Mars in retrograde since January 23, 2012, this has been an opportune time to reflect and dig into some juicy inner self work. We have this grace period to let go of old subconscious programming from the past until April 14^th,  2012. Until then you are supported by the planetary energies to really let go of what is not True for you and to start living from your Authentic Self.

You may be confused to what is really my true self  and what is my false self?  There seems to be many voices clamoring for my attention.  You may not always know what is my intuition and what is my mind and ego?

The false ego is like a parasite and you are the host. The parasite needs the host to survive but the host does not need the parasite. The best way to manage the ego is not to feed it with your attention and energy – it’s voice will begin to disappear.

Here is a chart with the difference between your False Self vs Your True Self so you can begin to differentiate the two.

Solar Flares Activity in 2012

Yogi Bhajan had a clear understanding of what would happen as we entered the Aquarian Age and he warned us that solar storm activity would increase significantly and affect the magnetic field of the Earth.

In the past few years, even mainstream media has been reporting massive solar flares unlike any we have ever seen. These solar flares are directly connected to the Earth Changes we are experiencing and play a big role in our quickening -  our accelerated evolution as a humanity.

The ancients teach that we are connected to the totality of the Universe and so the flares on the surface of the Sun too affect us.

You may be feeling:

- emotional outbursts – fear, sadness, grief  anger, or  anxiety – sometimes for no reason

- temperature fluctuations – sweating then chills

- disrupted sleep, disturbing dreams

- extreme fatigue and/or manic amount of energy

- big aha moments of awareness

- weird body phenomena – aches and pains, buzzing in the ears , seeing geometric shapes out of the corner of your eyes

Most importantly, the solar flares affect the emotions. With these surges of energy and information coming from the sun, it is increasingly difficult for people to control the emotions by ‘talking ourselves out of it’ and putting on the  ‘I’m just FINE face” to the world.   Managing the emotions is now something we must be aware of every day – especially anger.  Our old tricks to avoid or suppress our anger will no longer work like – too much sugar, drugs, alcohol –or keeping mentally  distracted and gorging on information on facebook, twitter, internet etc.  Now we must feel the anger and consciously use if for fuel for transformation.

Here is a Kundalini Yoga Meditation to offset the Solar Flare Effects:

Be with Your Soul Mate Everyday

“Your very own soul is your soul mate” - Yogi Bhajan (master of Kundalini Yoga)

In the Aquarian Age, we are being called to live by our Soul not our ego or mind.  The Soul Body  is your very own best friend, your highest self, your inner light – your soul mate. The soul is the source of life and is already inside you waiting to be discovered in this lifetime. The Soul is your ‘essence’ – your true identity.

5 ways to Nurture your Soul Body:

1. Listen to the Impulses of Your Soul

The soul longs only to be with the Infinite, G.O.D. the totality of the Universe. The soul body is communicating this longing to you all the time, however, the MIND interprets these impulses and gives you alternatives such as compulsive spending, eating, drugs, alcohol, sex etc. When you feel these impulses choose to do positive activities such as gardening, listening or playing music, writing, meditation, being with your pet – anything that nurtures and satisfies this longing.

2. Live From Your Heart

A simple exercise is to bring your awareness to your heart when you are about to speak to someone. Feel them first and then communicate. You will see your exchanges become more meaningful for you and the other person. With each exchange, you will feel your soul body blossom inside you. It is only when you have a loving relationship with yourself that you can truly love others.

3. Make a Long Standing Date with Your Soul

Every morning preferably before sunrise – sit in silence with yourself – breathe long and deep. This time of the morning is when the angle of the sun to the earth is very good for meditation. Channels to the Divine are at their clearest and there is an abundance of prana (life force of the Universe). Deeply listen to your inner guidance for the day. Make this relationship with your soul a priority.

“The difference between a friend and your soul is that a friend may or may not deny you; but the soul shall never deny you when you ask it for help. “  – Yogi Bhajan

4. Raise Your Kundalini Energy

Raising your Kundalini is the fastest way to awaken your Soul. Cultivate a regular practice Kundalini Yoga and Meditation, as taught by Yogi Bhajan.
