Three Mystical Powers
Tres poderes místicos--por Fred LaMotte
He alcanzado tres poderes místicos supremos. Te los voy a enseñar, si estás list@. Estos siddhis superan todos los obstáculos, aturden a tod@s l@s enemig@s y abren todos los portales al Infinito. Normalmente los mantendría en secreto, sólo para los iniciados, pero como nos acercamos al colapso del imperio, debo compartirlos contigo con la esperanza de que los uses como talismanes en tu viaje.
Estos tres poderes místicos han estado ocultos durante miles de años en los monasterios del Himalaya, pero ahora deben ser revelados. Por supuesto, recibiste estas iniciaciones secretas cuando eras un bebé en la cuna, haciendo goo-goo, haciendo pompas y tirando pedos, murmurando "¡Ga!" "¡Hu!" "¡Mamá!" "¡Bha!" y otros bijamantras de sabiduría suprema. Pero cambiaste tu resplandor por una educación. Ahora debes ser reiniciad@.
1. Primero, siempre que estés triste, enfadad@ o confundid@, tómalo como una señal para abandonar tu mente. Sumérgete en tu cuerpo. Siente los latidos de tu corazón. Simplemente deja de quejarte, déjate caer y entra en los latidos de tu corazón.
2. No tomes la siguiente inhalación, recíbela.
3. Cuando hayas entrado en los latidos de tu corazón y te hayas dado cuenta de que cada respiración es un regalo que debes recibir, no coger, entonces ofrécele el regalo al Dador, exhala lentamente y escucha. ¿Escuchar qué? Entre exhalar e inhalar, escucha el sonido más silencioso y distante. Solo por un momento. Este momento es una puerta eterna. Esta puerta está en el centro de tu pecho, entre el ir y el venir, entre los latidos, donde no hay viaje, ni pensamiento, ni "yo".
¿Escuchar qué? Escucha el espacio más allá del sonido más débil. Escucha la vitalidad vibrante de la escucha misma. Escucha la sinfonía de tu carne, el coro de electrones, el canto de las estrellas lejanas cayendo en las neuronas de tu plexo solar. Húndete en el zumbido del silencio.
Ahora debes pagarme. Aquí está tu tarifa de iniciación. Porque si no me pagas, el poder místico de estas técnicas secretas no se activará. ¿DE ACUERDO? Así que, por favor, envíame oleadas de compasión. Perdóname por haber imaginado alguna vez que había algo que aprender más que la escucha, la pulsación y la amistad con el propio corazón.
Preguntas semilla para la reflexión: ¿Qué te abre la noción de recibir tu próxima inhalación? ¿Puedes compartir una historia personal de alguna vez en la que pudiste abandonar tu mente cuando estabas triste, enfadad@ o confundid@? ¿Qué te ayuda a escuchar el espacio más allá del sonido más débil?

SEED QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION: What does the notion of receiving your next breath open up for you? Can you share a personal story of a time you were able to abandon your mind when you were sad or angry or confused? What helps you listen to the space beyond the faintest sound?

Standing by the ocean, moving to the rhythm of the waves. Realizing that it is not "I" who breathes but rather that the world / that life breathes me. Oneness. 2). Being obsessively stuck in thought patterns I believed to be who I am. Reading a book on Buddhism. Reading that the mind is a sixth sense. Being suddenly struck with the understanding that I am not my thoughts. Watching the many year old obsession and addiction melt away. 3) At night, when my body awakens me to go pee. Peeing then kneeling beside the bed and dropping into silence, silence deepening as the mind chatter quiets down, sinking deeper into a silence beyond silence. Waiting. Patiently. ..... " teach me, show me how to love," I pray

Thanks for writing this and sharing it. Could imagine myself as a child, and an adult and none at the same time. Could feel the silence as the words revealed themselves, and as the breathing softened. So beautiful!

I have recently been called by stillness. While walking outdoors the other day, I found myself stopping and listening to the stillness. The stillness brought me peace and comfort. Awareness of my breathing heightened. It was a beautiful experience.

This practice makes me grateful for this life ,this breath. .
It makes me aware of space that stretches and expands forever.
It makes me feel oneness with all other breaths ,where only breath exists and that I am here now.
When angry, hurt or confused it helps to breathe and move out of the turmoil in the mind . The heart is always ready to send oodles of love to the person or myself or the thing that is hurt intentionality or otherwise and that helps elevate personal wear and tear and helps in accepting my nature and faults and that of others . Giving myself a little of that' timeless-breath pause ' helps me get my footing back and feel i am right where i am meant to be.
Surrender to the Guru helps me focus on the faintest sound .

the notion of receiving breath ,takes away 'doership' in that 'I am taking the breath in '. In fact ,I am receiving breath and along with it love from the universe,so I am a vessel of receiving .
Once I was cooking meals for a relative with love,and she would criticize daily ,so it made slightly sad and angry ..
but I let these emotions just pass by ,and I complimented myself in my own mind as I found the food delicious...and then I was no longer slightly sad or angry over time..and the relative also stopped complaining.
Praying with an attitude of surrender to a higher power,helps me to empty my mind of thoughts ,and listen to the space beyond the faintest of sounds.

I breathe in forgiving myself. I breathe out forgiving every one and everything else that stands in the way of Love. Ya'rauf , Ya'rahim. Names of the mysterious oneness of mercy and compassion that live in the realm and house of the roots of letting go of the millenniums of patterning based in fear. Submerging in peace, with nothing to do except to keep breathing deeper.

The mind is a funny thing. There is so much to do! We can plan, sort, categorize, we can vision, and we can go back into the past and relive. We can go into the future and imagine. And we can do so much more! we can create anything in our minds. New Worlds. Fantasy, fiction. These three techniques are a way to simply be present. To be in the now. To appreciate what is here. When we can settle into this moment without anticipating the next or wishing to change the last, we can begin to understand our place in the great I Am.

Love this. I feel as if I am receiving a piece that was missing till now. I am a student of instinctive meditation, based on radiance sutras. To think we give up our radiance for education is mind blowing. To think as babies we are chanting Bija mantras feels wonderful. And the power of listening, being with the heart resonates deeply. I have felt this instinctively that emotions are a gateway to a deeper space in the heart.

The notion of receiving your next breath opens up for me the notion of there being separation between human me and breathing, and there is none. Human I and receiving my breath are one. I breathe. I can control it, at least briefly, but for the most part human I breathes, no separation. I think of my mind as the hub of my cognitive abilities. There have been times I have abandoned my mind and let emotions overrun my mind. When my father died, I let go into my sobbing and it felt very good and I felt cleansed and relieved. What helps me listen to the space is discovering that such listening is worth doing, the space is the Source, it's peaceful and awesome -- it makes the awesomeness of the space of the Grand Canyon pale.

I deeply appreciate reading Three Mystical Powers written by Fred LaMotte. Reading this article, I got three precious gifts of living a full life. First gift: Abondon noise making mind, noise of anger, fear, frustaration, and resentment. By letting go of the noise in my mind I hear the sound of silence. In that silence I listen to my heart beats of love, compassion, and kindness.
Second gift: The joy of giving, of seeing the light of my Real Self.
Third gift: Liberating myself from the bondage of craving and lightening my self-created load.
When I let go of my growth-binding breath, the door of my heart opens up to see the light and be free from deep darkness.
Walking on the path of awakening is not an easy journey for me. Sometimes I run into self-created walls, the walls that obstruct seeing the ligth of truth. I stumble and fall down and hurt myself and others in my life. Such stumbling wakes me up and I see the light of awakening and resume my pilgrimage of living fully a... [View Full Comment]
