Transcending By Rhonda Brunett

Transcending on your own watch without the assistance of a qualified Guru/Teacher is like dropping acid and hoping you don’t have a bad trip. There’s a good chance that you’ll be thrown you into a state of psychosis. I’ve been working with a qualified Guru, who is that daughter of an enlightened master for a several decades. This guidance has been a slow process in learning to properly prepare my body to transcend during meditation practice. It involves many different aspects of yogic teachings. Kundalini is a very powerful energy that resides at the base of the spine. In most individuals this energy is dormant until something causes it to awaken. This can be induced by yogic scripture, pranayama-breathing exercises, drumming music, repeating mantras or chanting. Or with the use of psychedelic drugs or herbs; which I don’t recommend. My Guru warns against the dangers of unguided Kundalini awakening. This can be extremely intense and an individual can become completely unglued causing psyche-induced states of psychosis as well as physical problems, the least of which is chronic back issues. Individuals that I’ve observed that are trying to do this could be putting their mind and body at risk. With the assistance of a Guru while experiencing a Kundalini awakening, a person can emerge into a new level of consciousness, experience oneness with the universe and attain psychic gifts and a heightened understanding about his or her path. Then your purpose becomes clearer and your mind and body remain healthier.

Being Present

One thing I love is teaching my clients that they too have the same abilities as I do. Some just need to become more aware of their surroundings, which often means being in the present moment. That can be difficult at times even for myself, however, to help me achieve Present Moment Awareness, I practice different forms of meditation to quiet my mind. It’s really not as hard as you think. Meditation can be a walk in the forest preserve, listening to the wind blowing through the leaves of the trees, the birds chirping. Your attention is focused on the wind or the chirping birds, then you notice the chipmunks run across the path or an occasional deer in the distance, ducks and geese swimming in the rapidly flowing waters of the river or stream. Another easy form of meditation, is standing in the shower. All this requires is concentrating on just taking a shower. When your mind starts to wander, you pull it back to what you’re doing, just taking a shower. Journaling is excellent first thing in the morning, you get all your thoughts on paper, then if you have time, light a candle sit and focus on the flame, to start it only takes a few minutes out of your day. These are a few of the ways that I find work best for me. But it’s a personal experience. We each have our own way to clear our minds and if you can do whatever that is a little everyday, you’re on the right path. woods-1072819_1280
