“The moments of satisfaction you experience are not in a subject/鈥宱bject relationship where you can say 鈥淚 am free, I am happy.鈥� These moments without thought, dream or representation are our true nature, fullness, which cannot be projected. It is an experience encountered where there is neither somebody experiencing nor a thing experienced. Only this reality is spiritual. All other states, 鈥渉ighs,鈥� whether brought about by techniques, experiences or drugs, even the so often exalted samadhi, are phenomena鈥屸€斺€宎nd carry with them traces of objectivity. In other words, as what you are is not a state, it is a waste of time and energy chasing more and more experiences in the hope of coming closer to the non-experience.”
― Jean Klein, I Am

“Who is the witness of all this?
Who is looking behind your eyes?
Who is the witness of the coming & going of thoughts?
Who is the witness of the coming & going of sensations?
Who is the witness of every experience or phenomenon you perceive?

Just stay there, with that witness,
that background where everything appears & disappears.”

“The Blue Sphere Exercise

Seat yourself comfortably, and relax. Try not to think about anything.

1. Feel how good it is to be alive. Let your heart feel free and affectionate; let it rise above and beyond the details of the problems that may be
bothering you. Begin to sing softly a song from your childhood. Imagine that your heart is growing, filling the room 鈥� and later your home 鈥� with an intense, shining blue light.

2. When you reach this point, begin to sense the presence of the saints (or other beings) in which you placed your faith when you were a child. Notice that they are present, arriving from
everywhere, smiling and giving you faith and confidence.

3. Picture the saints approaching you, placing their hands on your head and wishing you love, peace, and communion with the world 鈥� the communion of the saints.

4. When this sensation becomes strong, feel that the blue light is a current that enters you and leaves you like a shining, flowing river. This blue
light begins to spread through your house, then through your neighborhood, your city, and your country; it eventually envelops the world in an
immense blue sphere. This is the manifestation of the great love that goes beyond the day-today struggle; it reinforces and invigorates, as it provides energy and peace.

5. Keep the light spread around the world for as long as possible. Your heart is open, spreading love. This phase of the exercise should last for a
minimum of five minutes.

6. Come out of your trance, bit by bit, and return to reality. The saints will remain near. The blue light will continue to spread around the world.

This ritual can and should be done with more than one person. When this is the case, the participants should hold hands while they do the exercise.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Pilgrimage

“The Listening Exercise

Relax. Close your eyes. Try for several minutes to concentrate on all of the sounds you hear in your surroundings, as if you were hearing an orchestra playing its instruments. Little by little, try to separate each sound from
the others. Concentrate on each one, as if it were the only instrument playing. Try to eliminate the other sounds from your awareness.

When you do this exercise every day, you will begin to hear voices. First, you will think that they are imaginary. Later, you will discover that they are
voices of people from your past, present, and future, all of them participating with you in the remembrance of time.

This exercise should be performed only when you already know the voice of your messenger.

Do this exercise for ten minutes at a time.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Pilgrimage

“Sadhana is not just in the temple and going through your rituals,it must transform you as an individual.”
― Anupama Garg, The Tantric Curse

“God's name and God are the same. The chanting, singing, japa, and meditation of God's all-powerful and purifying names are at the heart of all methods of sadhana. God's name is everything. Repeat it always and be blessed. Then we can be sure we are progressing in our search for the Divine Mother who dwells in the very core of our being.”
― Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati, Return to the Source: Collected Writings on Spiritual Life

“There comes a point in the sadhana when a sadhak finds himself so deep in his/her ritual, so as to unite with the diety.The worshipper,the worshipped and the prayer all seem to merge into one”
― Anupama Garg, The Tantric Curse

“The Arousal of Intuition
(The Water Exercise)

Make a puddle of water on a smooth, non-absorbant surface. Look into the puddle for a while. Then, begin to play with it, without any particular commitment or objective. Make designs that mean absolutely nothing.

Do this exercise for a week, allowing at least ten minutes each time. Don鈥檛 look for practical results from this
exercise; it is simply calling up your intuition, little by little. When this intuition begins to manifest itself at other times of the day, always trust in it.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Pilgrimage

“Many Yogis are blindly attentive to their particular system of meditation, ignoring their own background of Consciousness or Beingness... that they forget about the goal, the Self.”

“How do I know if a person is my guru?" a devotee asked Maharajji. "Do you feel he can free you from all desires, attachments, and so forth? DO you feel he can lead you to final liberation?”

“The Messenger Ritual

1. Sit down and relax completely. Let your mind wander and your thinking flow without restraint. After a while, begin to repeat to yourself, 鈥楴ow I am relaxed, and I am in the deepest kind of sleep.鈥�

2. When you feel that your mind is no longer concerned with anything, imagine a billow of fire to your right. Make the flames lively and brilliant. Then quietly say, 鈥業 order my subconscious to show itself. I order it to open
and reveal its magic secrets.鈥� Wait a bit, and concentrate only on the fire. If an image appears, it will be a manifestation of your subconscious. Try to keep it alive.

3. Keeping the fire always to your right, now begin to imagine another billow of fire to your left. When the flames are lively, say the following
words quietly: 鈥楳ay the power of the Lamb, which manifests itself in everything and everyone, manifest itself also in me when I invoke my messenger. (Name of messenger) will appear before me now.

4. Talk with your messenger, who should appear between the two fires. Discuss your specific problems, ask for advice, and give him the necessary orders.

5. When your conversation has ended, dismiss the messenger with the following words: 鈥業 thank the Lamb for the miracle I have performed. May (name of messenger) return whenever he is invoked, and when he is far away, may he help me to carry on my work.鈥�

Note: On the first invocation 鈥� or during the first invocations, depending on the ability of the person performing the ritual to concentrate 鈥� do not say
the name of the messenger. Just say 鈥渉e.鈥� If the ritual is well performed, the messenger should immediately reveal his name telepathically. If not, insist until you learn his name, and only then begin the conversation. The more the ritual is repeated, the stronger the presence of the messenger will be and the more rapid his actions.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Pilgrimage

“The Buried Alive Exercise

Lie down on the floor and relax. Cross your arms over your chest in the posture of death. Imagine all of the details of your burial, as if it were to be carried out tomorrow, the only
difference being that you are being buried alive. As the situation develops in your mind 鈥� the chapel, the procession to the cemetery, the lowering of the casket, the worms in the grave 鈥� you begin tensing all of your muscles more and more in a desperate attempt to escape. But you cannot do so. Keep trying until you cannot stand it any longer, and then, using a movement that involves your entire body, throw aside the confines of the coffin, breathe deeply, and find yourself free. This movement will have a greater effect if you scream at the same time; it should be a scream that emanates from the depths of your body.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Pilgrimage

“The RAM Breathing Exercise

Expel all of the air from your lungs, emptying them as much as you can. Then, inhale slowly as you raise your arms as high as possible. As you inhale, concentrate on allowing love, peace, and harmony with the universe to enter into your body. Hold the air you have taken in and keep your arms raised for as long as you can, enjoying the
harmony between your inner sensations and the outer world. When you reach your limit, exhale all of the air rapidly, as you say the word, 鈥楻AM.鈥�
Repeat this process for five minutes each time you do the exercise.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Pilgrimage

“Churn the milk of the mind, yourself the churner

Locate the Primal Point and Sound,

break it down with meditation

Heat the butter of knowledge

Spirituality empowered, you will find the ghee

With these ingredients, a yagna I perform

Offering the oblation of my own limbs.

The flames that rise are your own effulgence

In them my essence revealed,

I stand as myself, finally.

~ Rupa Bhavani (1625-1721)”

“Without the lower chakras, all our work in the more spiritual and intuitive centres would be fraught with difficulties. Spiritual students should not go too deeply into the path without very strong and stable lower energy centres.”
― Donna Goddard

“We dancers are not just mucking around, having fun, doing not much of any use. We are building the foundational structure of strong and stable lower energy centres so that all the higher energies will find a suitable home in us.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“There is an un-conditioned consciousness and bliss which is in all of us in the form of a little spark inside of our being, in the core of our being. The prerequisite for touching that is that you decondition yourself from the thought that 鈥業 am limited鈥�, 鈥業 am this body鈥�, 鈥業 cannot do this鈥� and 鈥業 cannot do that鈥�.
The conditioning process, on one side, is philosophical, and on the other side, it is practical.
There are practical ways of keeping your limiting thoughts in abeyance, at least for a while, and gradually increasing the time that you spend in an un-conditioned, blissful, super energy state. This is the practice or sadhana which is about how to zero in or go into the essence of this being. An essence which is not anywhere outside, but right inside us. An essence which is equally there for all beings, whether we have discovered it or not. An essence that can be touched through the practice of meditation.”
― Sri M., On Meditation: Finding Infinite Bliss and Power Within

“Life is already your sadhana; what you need to do is make sadhana your life.”

“Man is, as it were, a centre, and is attracting all the powers of the universe towards himself, and in this centre is fusing them all and again sending them off in a big current. Such a centre is the real man鈥攖he almighty, the omniscient鈥攁nd he draws the whole universe towards him. Good and bad, misery and happiness, all are running towards him and clinging round him; and out of them he fashions the mighty stream of tendency called character and throws it outwards. As he has the power of drawing in anything, so has he the power of throwing it out.”
― Swami Vivekananda, Karma Yoga: the Yoga of Action
