The Power of Visualization - Part I

Hey, welcome back, and I want to give you some more additional tips and wisdom on this 2-minute meditation.

I hope you're doing the yogic posture and the relaxation posture.

I want to give you some more nuggets and wisdom, some little insights, you know, which in small hinges open big doors.

So here's what it is.

After you've done the yogic and relaxing posture and all the stuff which I have said, here's what it is.

And just in your relaxation posture You know, sit straight, the spine erect, and look straight.

You see, the idea here is that as you're watching, you know, experience that your consciousness, that Krishna is watching, Christ is, Buddha, whatever it is that your God is, is like watching.

And the idea here is to get your eyes steady.

You see, just watch this, just be like this, so that you don't move your eyes here, you don't move your eyes there, just keep it.

The spine straight, relaxed, relaxation posture.

Your eyes- so that the idea here is your eyes get used to being fixed in a certain way, the way you want to, so it doesn't like waver here, there, and all.

Because our eyes move not because we are moving the eyes.

You see, the tendencies are moving our eyes, the gunas.

So this exercise is you just sit here And you just keep your eyes like- and the consciousness is seeing, okay?

So for this time, just these 2 minutes, your eyes are not being moved by tendency.

You see, because our eyes here, whatever we see, whatever we touch, hear, and feel- whatever we see, whatever we touch, hear, feel, listen, talk, you know, whenever we open our mouth, it's not we are speaking, you know, it's our tendencies, our gunas are making us speak.

The sattvic, rajasic, and tamasic tendencies.

Our impressions are making us speak.

When we touch something, it's not we are touching, it's a, you know, the gunas are making us touch.

And that's why you see some build, you know, places of worship, some bring down places of worship, you know, some build do such wonderful things, some some destroy, some create.

You see, so it's so wonderful to know that the idea behind this 2-minute, you know, additional relaxation posture is that you keep your eyes steady because for this moment your your consciousness is seeing.

And so it's not that your eyes are being led by your tendencies, which is what happens during your waking world.

So as you do this 2-minute meditation, just look and enjoy the process that your consciousness is seeing.

And here's what you'll be seeing.

So, your consciousness is seeing and now your day starts.

So you're visualizing that your consciousness is watching and your day is getting started and all your tendencies, as I said, during your daily life, your tendency, your eyes will be moving based on your tendency, based on your gunas.

So, because of your tendencies and in this 2 minutes, we will be doing so much good to us that the entire day will become so good because our eyes will be It's always a consciousness we'll be seeing.

So you get up and you are before the ocean, you're visualizing this, and there are waves coming.

Waves are nothing but the tendencies are coming and it's wanting your eyes to move here, move there.

And so you're watching it as it's like your consciousness is watching your movements, okay?

The way you're watching the waves, there's nothing but your tendencies, and you allow that to crash, you know, you allow all the tendencies, all the negative tendencies to just crash because You're just watching it and you know that every single wave, every single tendency which comes up and cracks, so you just don't don't go and latch.

You see, what happens during the morning to evening, just when the tendency comes up, when the guna comes up, you immediately your eyes move.

You see, now with this thing, you are watching that moment even before it happens during the day.

Okay, that's the idea of meditation, is to watch the phenomena, to watch the moments which happen.

From morning to evening before it even happens.

And so we get steady, we know that the conscious is watching, and we do execution beautifully.

So, and the things which come in front of us still remain the same, but our eyes, you know, the moment of our eyes become beautiful because we keep it steady on the consciousness and we do a very good job and we don't act based on tendencies.

So, it's sitting here, you're watching, the waves are coming, And so it's provoking you to act.

People are provoking.

So the waves are like, some are like that, you know, dangerous waves provoking you to act or provoking you not to act or whatever it is.

But you're just watching it and you know that the waves will crash.

So you're just watching it.

Your consciousness is watching.

Your eyes are getting steady.

You're you're feeling powerful inside.

The consciousness is rising.

You don't care about your vibrations because The idea here is you don't act or you don't you don't act or you don't you know stay away and run because of your vibrations, because of your tendencies.

You just get tremendous strength just by getting steady in your consciousness.

So you just look at look straight with the spine erect and you watch the waves and you watch that the waves are crashing.

You just step back a little bit, you see.

What you're doing is, is stepping back a little bit and watch.

See, all your tendencies will crash by itself.

You don't have to do anything.

So you don't act immediately or you don't run away.

You just get more power there in your consciousness.

So, when you do this, your eyes get steady, steady, and it works beautifully because you're just moving through the day with tremendous power because you know that these tendencies are making you feel good or bad, and you don't want to get into that domain.

You always want your eyes to be steady so that your ears are still.

Your ears, you know, listen to the right things.

Your voice, your mouth speaks the right thing.

So here's the thing, when you do this right, what we are doing here is we are allowing the waves, the tendency to destroy itself, just by looking at it.

So just by looking, you're allowing the waves to destroy.

And when you do that And then you can then look, then you can act or react.

You see, so Krishna says, before you act, before or you move away from something, first destroy your tendencies to act or react.

Because if you move, if you act or you run away from something based on your tendencies, you would come under the realm of time, under the realm of karma, and you will suffer because you will feel good about it.

So the idea here is you act or you move away, not based on your tendencies, but based on your conscious.

So first you destroy, you allow the waves to crash by itself, because any wave which comes, it will crash.

You should just wait for 60 seconds.

You see the wave, it will crash.

Any wave which comes, it will crash.

Any tendency will crash.

And a consciousness can see that.

So don't jump immediately.

You you someone says something, you should look here.

Someone says something, you look there.

You see, get steady here.

And you'll beautifully allow tendencies to destroy itself.

So you will not act or move away based on a tendency.

You will first allow it to fall away, so that then what remains is your beautiful consciousness.

Then you go and act or you move away.

You see, so we still act and we still move away, but we do it based on our consciousness, not based on our tendencies.

And that's why we are completely detached and we feel very happy because we are working in alignment with our consciousness, which is always our best guide.

So, spine erect, eyes, consciousness is watching, not the tendencies that you go here, go there, and you know, look at- You're not- no external stimuli is affecting you.

We do that and you will watch all the waves come and destroy itself.

And you are the consciousness, you are the ocean, always watching beautifully.

And then you get up and then move along your day.

You always remember this.

You can do this even during your office hours or doing whatever it is, and you will have destroyed tremendous- that is, you know, negative tendencies which comes up.

You'd say, okay, it's come.

You see, during your morning days, from morning to night, it will still come up, the tendencies will come up, but you just do like this, and see it and say, okay, it will just step back a little and allow it to destroy itself.

The waves will crash by itself.

You don't even have to do anything.

You just- the consciousness has to watch.

The consciousness has the ability to allow the wave to destroy itself, allow the tendency to destroy itself.

So allow all tendencies, good and bad, to destroy itself based on a tendency, so that you then completely have only your consciousness left.

So your eyes, ears, hands all become full of the consciousness, and then you act or you move.

All right, so that's the 2-minute meditation, and I hope you got something out of it.

Thanks and God bless.
