Coming to the ashram has been a big `letting go' for me. to finally accept that I can let go of pain. Even more than that. to finally accept that I do not need to put myself through pain in order to be free of it. Here is a way to just let it go.
The `tune-up' is given while I am sitting. Swami-G moves her hands over the chakras from both the front and back of my body. Here is someone with whom this goes beyond trust. I feel myself sigh within and let go. Often, big blocks are broken through - sometimes with a sudden jolt. It is all so very quick and powerful and the effect is always the same. whatever had been disturbing the peace before just quite simply is not there anymore. I feel peaceful and grounded.
The energy work is given by Swami-G and Siddhananda whilst I am laying down. `Divine' is an apt word for this experience. taking a dream ride on a magic carpet. The intensity does increase when Swami-G places her hands in proximity of my head - as if there is a contraction, everything is drawing up. At the same time, Siddhananda may be at the feet where a release of energy is felt running down the legs and dispersing at the feet. Finally, Swami-G brings everything back to the heart again. The result after this is that I feel `lighter'. freer.
Before coming to the ashram and taking diksha, my past practice was Vispassana meditation. With this method I found I was able to bring pain/blocks into awareness and watch the energy dissipate. However to reach the awareness necessary to dissolve the pain would require four of five days of sitting, cross-legged on the floor for up to fourteen hours a day. Even then, this could only take things so far as the deeper the blocks went, the deeper into stillness I needed to go in order to once again continue the clearing process. With the energy work, all that is needed is to lie down and relax! Swami-G works from 0 point balance. it seems that by surrendering to that stillness in which she is settled, that which would literally take months (maybe years!) to clear through intensive Vispassana meditation, is dissolved in that one session.
