Living Light

The cells of our body need food and water to be healthy and regenerate, but they also need light! In their deep substructure, our cells are made of pure light. Therefore feeding ourselves with Light provides additional deep nourishment to the body as well as the heart and mind, that helps maintain balance which is health. It is nice to drink in different qualities of light: Sun Light, Moon Light, Star Light, Etheric Light. Sun for illumination, power and vitality; moon for healing emotions and heart; stars for cosmic consciousness and expansiveness of mind; etheric for physical healing. To drink Sun light, stand in the Sun and feel the pours of your skin and cells of your body opening like windows - feel the light coming in through all those windows filling the entire aura and body with light. As you exhale feel this light filling all the cells of your body.   To drink moon light, stand in the moon light and completely relax.   Feel your heart center, like a moon fl

All Nature praises the Creator by its very existence! Winds and breezes, storms, clouds, trees, birds, bees, rain, flowers, sun, moon and stars all exist in a state of glorification, for existence inherently is the expression of divine love which is all glorious and praiseworthy.   Yet no act of praise is more pleasing to the Divine Mother or Father than those that flow from our hearts, for they come from free will. It is only in humanity that the Divine takes Self-Awareness and only to humanity does God give the power of self-awareness and co-creation. True Praise of the Divine is so special in us humans because we were born into life veiled from our divine inheritance and must reawaken to it - this reawakening is God's Self-Realization and our God-Realization.  One word of sincere praise from our awakening hearts echoes through out the universe, causes the angels to dance in ecstasy and exults nature. When praise arises in us for the Divine, when we exult in the glory and

My Sufi Teacher Amin once told me he entered the state of Self-Realization while repeating the mantra Tat Tvam Asi,  Tat Tvam Asi,   Tat Tvam Asi, meaning  "That Thou Art, Thou Art All Things".   He said he was sitting on a part bench one day overlooking Lake Erie, repeating this Mantra over and over - all of a sudden the great reality of this Mantra - "That Thou Art, Thou are all things" - pulled him into its reality and realization.   Then he said that once you have had the realization of a Mantra its yours to keep, nothing can take it away from you.   He was very fond of the repeating what is called the Sacred Vakya Vrittis, intended to give direct perception of God:  Aham Brahmasmi (I am Brahman),  Tat Tvam Asi (That Am I), and in which he also included  Shivoham (I am Shiva).      He said these were all great Mantras of Self-Realization and so they are!

My Sufi teacher Amin once gave me this wonderful practice for seeing God everything. He said repeat Aham Brahmasmi as much as you can,  it means “I am Brahman”. As you repeat it, be aware that everything is Brahman, God: Every sound you hear is Brahman: car horns, people talking, fan motors, birds, every sound is Brahman; Everything you see is Brahman: every color, the trees, flowers, the sun, the blue ski, the faces of people, cars, buildings, all Brahman; Every smell you smell is Brahman: perfume, grass, food smells, manure, garbage, salt water, it’s all Brahman; Eveything you touch is Brahman: the cell phone, the touch of cement, the handle of a knife or spoon, the coolness of steel, the warmth of a washcloth, the feel of water in the shower, its all Brahman; Everything you feel is Brahman: the joy, the sadness, the pain, the fear, the confidence, the worry, the anger, the frustration, don’t dwell on it but know it is all Brahman for everything is God. Every

This is a practice of ‘call and response’ with Allah.  One calls upon Allah’s quality and then one watches and/or listens receptively to see or hear the response.   It is almost unbelievable, but Allah does respond through the life that is around one at the moment.  This practice deeply attunes us to the Divine Presence in Life. To do this practice use  one or all of the following 3 essential Illahis (divine names or qualities): Subhanallah, Alhumdulilah, Allahhu-Akbar.    The form of the Practice: Exhaling say silently or aloud 3 times: Subhanallah; Then watch and listen for the Divine Glory that is manifesting around you. Exhaling say silently or aloud 3 times: Alhumdulilah; Then watch and listen for the Divine Praise and Exultation that is manifesting around you; Exhaling say silently or aloud 3 times: Allahhu-Akbar; Then watch and listen for the Divine Greatness, Grandeur or Power that is manifesting around you; Perceiving the response is not a

  There are two ways to breathe Allah Hu . One will help you ‘ rise above the denseness of the earth’ by facilitating your attunement with the transcendental or cosmic dimension of your being; the other will help you manifest the Divine Presence in your being and life. The First way: Gently move your head down toward your physical heart while exhaling Allah deeply into the physical heart; then inhale Hu, as your head rises allow Hu to carry you on high, dissolving into the transcendental, all-pervading reality of Hu. The Second way: Inhale up through the top of the head into Allah , the One Reality; Exhale Hu deeply into either the physical heart or heart center.
