Sound Bite: Embodied Consciousness

You get lost in your feelings about things, always reacting, because you’re not getting what you think you need or desire.  Lost again, you are trapped in a limited sense of self — ego. When you are so much more.  To know the more you already are…   Watch Gurudevi’s full discourse “Inner Answers" here: https://gurudevi.vhx.tv/products/inner-answers-10-25-26   #spirituality #meditation #Gurudevi #yogamysticism #svaroopa #meditate #divine #yoga #swaminirmalananda #blissyoga #svaroopayoga #siddhayoga #muktananda #gurudevinirmalananda

Yet each time you experience samadhi, any level of samadhi, it leaves a Consciousness imprint in your mind. Gradually, your mind is able to expand into the inner dimensionality.  Your mind is a contracted form of Consciousness. It becomes less and less contracted, expanding into the Consciousness of which everything is made.  So, your inner experience becomes progressively… —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda   Watch Gurudevi’s full discourse “Deep Meditation — Samadhi" here: https://gurudevi.vhx.tv/products/deep-meditation-samadhi-10-18-26   #meditate #meditation #gurudevi #yogamysticism #spirituality #divine #yoga #swaminirmalananda #blissyoga #svaroopayoga #siddhayoga #muktananda #gurudevinirmalananda

In opening your eyes at the end of your meditation period, if you feel an ease of being, expansiveness, peace and bliss, these are qualities you bring with you when your awareness extends outward again. Your peripheral vision expands. Your breath is more open. You took the shortcut to Self. It’s called Grace.

So, there is an inner process you go through. The process is that you’re flipping life on its head. Most people look for outer things to change the way they feel inside. A yogi finds the Self inside and then shares their Essence with others. Instead of waiting or wanting others to fill you, you come from fullness, your own inner Essence.

When you start meditating, turning your attention inward is challenging because you haven’t cleared your mind first. Trying to look inward, you get an internalized version of your external world. Tantra makes it easy. In Svaroopa® Vidya meditation, we repeat mantra and… bloop! You’re immersed within. You settle into your own Divine Essence. You bring ease of being, expansiveness, peace and bliss when your awareness extends outward again. You took the shortcut to Self. It’s called…   Read Gurudevi's Teachings Article in our Freebies.     #meditate #meditation #gurudevi #yogamysticism #spirituality #divine #yoga #swaminirmalananda #blissyoga #svaroopayoga #siddhayoga #muktananda #gurudevinirmalananda

Why a Guru? To set you free. The Guru doesn’t make you Divine. The Guru shows you that you are already Divine. The Guru doesn’t make you great, but shows you that you are already blazing with Divine Light. Baba said it this way, “Just as the wind disperses the clouds, but does not create another blazing sun, so the Grace of a Siddha simply removes the veil of ignorance so that you realize you are already perfect.” If this is what you want, you need a Guru.  — Gurudevi Nirmalananda   Watch Gurudevi’s full discourse “Guru?

I call it embodied Consciousness, that you know your own Divine Essence while you participate in the world. This approach to spiritual development is not a process of transcendence. You don’t rise above the world. You live in it, but in a new way. You don’t…— Gurudevi Nirmalananda   Watch Gurudevi’s full discourse “Your Cosmic Birthright" here: https://gurudevi.vhx.tv/products/your-cosmic-birthright-9-20-26   #meditate #meditation #gurudevi #yogamysticism #spirituality #divine #yoga #swaminirmalananda #blissyoga #svaroopayoga #siddhayoga #muktananda #gurudevinirmalananda

In the last 20 or 25 years researchers have been doing brain scans of meditators. They’re finding that we use our brains differently than the rest of the world does. Meditation utilizes some parts of your brain that other people are barely using. And meditation quiets down some areas that other people are afflicted by... — Gurudevi Nirmalananda   Watch Gurudevi’s full discourse “Made for More" here: https://gurudevi.vhx.tv/products/made-for-more-11-1-20   #freemeditation #svaroopameditation #spirituality #yogamysticism #meditation #gurudevi #divine #yoga #shaktipat #swaminirmalananda #blissyoga #svaroopayoga #siddhayoga #muktananda #gurudevinirmalananda

Oh Shiva, how can I bow to you? If I see you as separate from me, what direction do I turn to bow? Shiva above me, around me, being the earth beneath my feet. Oh Shiva, where do I turn to bow? If I see you as within me - you reside in my crown, so how can I lower my head to bow? I can only bow by turning my heart toward you, but ...  —  Gurudevi Nirmalananda   Watch Gurudevi’s full discourse “You Came from God" here: https://gurudevi.vhx.tv/products/you-came-from-god-9-6-26   #meditate #meditation #gurudevi #yogamysticism #spirituality #divine #yoga #swaminirmalananda #blissyoga #svaroopayoga #siddhayoga #muktananda #gurudevinirmalananda

You Came from God Babies! That round sweet face, those incredible eyes… You look in a baby’s eyes, you can see all the way to God… Yes, that’s where they came from. Divine light still shines through them so clearly, without all the mental constructs to get in the way. You were like that back then. You came from God. Before you were born, you inhabited a subtle realm suffused with Divine Essence. In that space between lifetimes, you merged into Beingness as much as you were able and stayed for as long as possible…   Read Gurudevi's Teachings Article in our Freebies.     #spirituality #meditation #Gurudevi #yogamysticism #svaroopa #meditate #divine #yoga #swaminirmalananda #blissyoga #svaroopayoga #siddhayoga #muktananda #gurudevinirmalananda
