Feeling Divine Energy
I am sure many of you would have contemplated on the concept of energy and how it works! All those seekers who are on the path of self-discovery, whether going solo or under the guidance of a realised Master would definitely have come across energy, felt it, enjoyed its bliss too! My first tryst with energy was on the fourth day of my first meditation camp way back in February 2009. The cold little eddies of energy whirling on the palms of both my hands as soon as Swamiji says some people will feel cold energy on their hands — and at that very moment to feel that energy — that was mind-blowing and the thought in my mind was — what kind of magic is this? Swamiji in his discourse continues to say that those who felt cold energy — their state is good!
One begins to feel the energy, experience and to a degree read it after one’s chakras are cleansed and purified through regular meditation. Regular meditation is important as this helps in maintaining the spiritual body and the physical body — it is just like servicing a car regularly to keep it fit for the road! It is not necessary that you will always feel the energy because it is impossible to maintain a constant state of purity in this world. We are regularly confronted with issues which cause us imbalance and it takes a little time to recover one’s balance.
Energy or universal consciousness is all pervading and is flowing continuously throughout the universe. For us to connect with it we have to reduce our body consciousness and enhance our soul consciousness through regular meditation. With the subsiding of our body consciousness our soul consciousness comes to the fore and we start experiencing energy. The energy can be sensed at any time during the day — it is His grace which is flowing and once we connect, we can feel our crown chakra becoming cold and as the concentric waves spread from the crown downwards throughout the body, the eyes close and you go into a state of quiet meditative bliss as the energy encompasses your entire being. Energy is nothing but your soul tuning into the ever-flowing universal consciousness and getting washed with energy.
