Raising your awareness

Posted on by DamianCadmanJones-Yoga&Therapy

Awareness or mindfulness (vipashyana or shamata in Sanskrit) can bring inner peace; it is putting meditation into practice in your day-to-day life. In fact, doing anything without expecting any result is meditation.  But to increase awareness, practice being mindful of all the things that you use to torture yourself with – become mindful by abandoning your expectations about the way you think things should be and what others may think of you.   Out of our mindfulness, begin to develop awareness about the way things really are. You may realise that the universe is unfolding as it should.

An ancient model of healing that uses awareness can be found in the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali (which was echoed by Buddha in his first sermon Four Noble Truth’s).  In short, the model is an outline of the stages in the healing process, presented as four questions:

  1. What is the nature of the pain that all humans experience?
  2. What is the cause of that pain?
  3. What will be experienced when the pain is removed?
  4. How can the pain be removed?

These questions are designed to bring awareness to the true nature of the issue so that it can be dropped and the healing can occur.

Osho’s Past Life Healing Therapy tells us that human beings are generally programmed to achieve a higher state of consciousness.  Each one-to-one Past Life Healing session will help raise your consciousness and raise body-bound memories to awareness.  You can experience remembered events from your personal akashic record; memories from your individual path of evolution through eons of lives.  In this way, current life issues can be seen for what they are and, ultimately, dropped completely.

Sound / Chakra Meditation

Posted on by DamianCadmanJones-Yoga&Therapy

Your life energy (also known as your ‘prana’ or ‘Qi’ -pronounced “chi”) is like electricity which runs along (meridian) lines throughout the human body. Chakra’s are like junction boxes where the lines come together. There are seven main chakras in the upper body, as follows:

The Root Chakra (muladhara) is red in colour and it is located at the perineum / pelvic floor. Specifically, in men it is located in the area between the anus and scrotum and, for women, it is the area between the anus and clitoris. Those who practice yoga will be familiar with the moola bandha- contracting the moola bandha triggers this root chakra. Our basic survival instincts are located in this energy centre. It is also linked to our ability to trust in others.

The Sacral Chakra (svadhistana) is orange in colour and it is located about 2 inches below the navel (also known as the dantian). This second energy centre is linked to our sexuality and family connections. It is also likened to our inner child being associated with creativity, innocence, vulnerability and spontaneity.

The Solar Plexus Chakra (manipura) is yellow in colour and it located in the solar plexus, that is about 2 inches below your sternum in your chest. This chakra is linked to our ego / our self-concept as an individual, fame, authority and free-will.

The Heart Chakra (anahata) is green in colour and it is located just left of the centre of your chest. It is associated with love, hatred, faith, compassion, anger, duty and devotion.

The Throat Chakra (vishuddha) is blue in colour and it is located at the base of your throat. It is linked to our creativity, communication/ expression, our knowledge and abundance.

The Third Eye Chakra (ajna) is indigo in colour and it is located at the centre of your forehead in-between the eyebrows. It linked to intuition, insight/ inner vision, wisdom and relaxation.

The Crown Chakra (sahaswara) is violet in colour and it is located at the very top of your head. It is linked to our union with the Divine and cosmic consciousness and unbounded awareness.

Each of these seven chakra’s resonates with specific sounds that you can make/ chant:

The Root Chakra – “LAM”

The Sacral Chakra – “VAM”

The Solar Plexus Chakra – “RAM”

The Heart Chakra – “YAM”

The Throat Chakra – “HAM”

The Third Eye Chakra – “SHAM”

The Crown Chakra – “OM”

To meditate on the chakra’s and awaken each energy centre first sit down in a comfortable position with your back straight and watch your breath. Once you have settled begin chanting the first mantra “LAM” visualising its location in your body and the colour red. Do this for about 5 minutes and then watch your breath and settle back down.

Then do the same for the second chakra – visualise its location in your body (i.e. the dantian; 2 inches below the navel) and its colour (orange) and chant the mantra “VAM” for 5 minutes or so.

Repeat this routine for each chakra (remembering to leave a gap between each stage as you simply watch your breath and settle back down):

chakras 2

Finally, after chanting all seven mantras you then observe the silence for 20 minutes; watching your breath.

This meditation should only be done in the mornings as it gives you an abundance of energy . Ideally it should be done first thing and before any work out. If you do this in the evening you will not be able to sleep at night!

Testimonial by Emily

Posted on by DamianCadmanJones-Yoga&Therapy

“Thank you Damian for a very interesting past life regression session.

I have been facilitated with regression for a long time now and couldn’t believe my luck when Damian came home from India after studying this fascinating therapy.  

Aside from my fascination with the therapy itself, other reasons I wanted to be regressed for was to delve deeper into some anxieties and anger that I held in parts of my life that didn’t really make sense.

Damian managed to regress me first of all back to being in a womb and progressed by jumping forward in the life every 10 years. I felt that we discovered some things from my previous life that hugely explained my anxieties and anger in this life. It was a huge eye opener!!

I do feel like going back to see Damian a few times would help my visualisation skills to increase. In my regression I could see patchy images although more feelings. Damian did say the more you have the therapy the more clearly you can see the situations! I am excited for my next session!!”

We are such stuff as dreams are made on …

Posted on by DamianCadmanJones-Yoga&Therapy

Yes I have jumped on the William Shakespeare bandwagon! It has been 400 years since Shakespeare passed. He wrote the following beautiful words in The Tempest in about 1610:

“We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.”

Consciousness and awareness are concepts that greatly interest me. Osho tells us that we do not only dream at night; even while awake we are constantly dreaming. You may be reading these words now but a dream continuously goes on within you. This is why, sometimes, it goes on one ear and out of the other (so to speak). When there are dreams in the daytime you will be doing something but you will be absent. Inside you are elsewhere; occupied.

We are rarely present. We live in the past. Even thinking about being in the present is living in the past: by the time you have analysed what is in front of you the moment has already passed; you have missed it. Feel; don’t think. To feel (as opposed to think) is to be present. Laughter is a great example. Laughter brings up an inner energy and when you really laugh, for those few moments you are in a deep meditative state. There is no future and there is no past; you are present. Thinking stops. You cannot laugh and think together.

Past Life Healing Therapy is a method to come to a non-dreaming state of mind. As Osho once said:

“Mind can be either the source of bondage or the source of freedom. Mind becomes the gate for this world, the entry; it can also become the exit. Mind leads you to hell, mind can also lead you to heaven. So it all depends on how mind is used. Right use of mind becomes meditation, wrong use of the mind becomes madness.”

Visual (object or image) Meditation Technique.

Posted on by DamianCadmanJones-Yoga&Therapy

It is no accident that Osho’s Past Life Healing Therapy technique (which I am qualified to deploy) uses meditation as the means to accessing past lives. Meditation and Past Life Healing Therapy are inextricably linked. Both are the only true means of self-discovery and knowing yourself is true wisdom.

With this Visual Meditation Technique you need to choose an image or object to meditate on. The type of image or object used does not matter. The mind simply requires a fixed point of reference for the technique to work. As you focus on the image or object, notice its subtleties: the way the light hits it, its colours, the way it contrasts with the background, how the image makes you feel, whether or not its outline is roughly made or smooth with sharp edges, etc. As you observe the subtleties do not analyse or compare or try to label what you see. Try to meditate for at least 20 minutes.

If you keep focusing and settle on the image then gradually your thoughts will become quieter and quieter; gradually the image will disappear from the mind and transform into bliss. Using this technique you can let go of your thoughts of the past or future and settle into the present.

The other day, whilst walking the dogs, I happened to see a large bird of pray land in a nearby tree. The dogs were off the lead but in an enclosed part of the nature reserve. I sat down, straightened my back and continued watching the bird. I continued meditating on the image of this beautiful bird sat perfectly still in the nearby tree. Watching the bird and focusing on it among the trees, my vision started to blur a little. I then became aware that all the branches from all the surrounding trees seemed to tessellate and form a mosaic pattern all around me. I felt a profound feeling of interconnectedness as I meditated. It was a powerful spontaneous thing.

Yoga classes in Rugby every Saturday at 10 am

Rugby is my birthplace and to teach yoga is a real honour. I will also be conducting one-to-one Past Life Healing Therapy sessions at the Sun Power Yoga Shala on Somers Road. Each (2-3 hours) session starts with an issue that the person undergoing the session wishes to address, and then goes on to connect with the life in which the issue originated.

Transcendental Meditation

Posted on by DamianCadmanJones-Yoga&Therapy

Transcendental Meditation is another technique that aid self-discovery and healing and is a perfect complement to Past Life Healing Therapy. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi developed the Transcendental Meditation technique about 60 years ago. He rose to fame in the West when he became guru to The Beatles.

I was given my mantra by Professor M.A. Narasimhan in Mysore, India, in 2015. I have practiced Transcendental Meditation almost every day since.

Transcendental Meditation is a simple, effective mental technique which allows the mind to transcend, or settle beyond thought, into silence; that most powerful state of awareness. It does not involve any mental control or any active thought process. Transcendental Meditation takes just 20 minutes, twice a day, sitting comfortably with the eyes closed. You repeat a very simple (one word) mantra until your thoughts settle. You then drop the mantra and observe the silence. If you find yourself participating in your thoughts (and not merely observing your thoughts) then you can reintroduce the mantra and find the silence again. It is a simple and powerful meditation technique.

“When, through meditation, the conscious mind expands to embrace deeper levels of thinking, the thought wave becomes more powerful and results in added energy and intelligence.” – Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

Know yourself

Posted on by DamianCadmanJones-Yoga&Therapy

You did not come here to achieve perfection, you came here to know yourself and life is perfect imperfection anyway. But how do you get to know yourself? As Osho once said: “Your whole idea about yourself is borrowed-borrowed from those who have no idea of who they are themselves.”

Knowing yourself is true wisdom. Past Life Healing Therapy can expand consciousness and awareness and clarity to the level where deep meditation and self-discovery are possible. Relive past lives and discover your true centre; your true self is waiting…

The time to heal yourself is NOW

Posted on by DamianCadmanJones-Yoga&Therapy

“At any moment you have a choice that leads you closer to your spirit, or, further away from it.” – Thich Nhat Hanh.

We’re all in this crazy journey together. Stuck in the same illusion. And whether we like it or not, we are all endowed with a similar self-healing purpose.

In Past Life Healing Therapy, you will be guided to a past-life that is most relevant to your current issue(s). By re-living the old life, and releasing all the negative emotions and memories, you then go through your own transformation process. Then, unencumbered by the past, you see your current life in a spiritual / multi-dimensional context and bring awareness to the cause of your current issues.

In this way, Past Life Healing Therapy can help you transform difficulties in relationships, increase personal confidence, resolve abandonment and separation issues and help heal physical or emotional wounds.
