Culture Your Mind

This Episode taken from a Sattva Connect live stream, Anand takes us into deeper understanding for cultivating a better mind. When the mind is being informed by Atman (the soul), the quality of the mind is that of pristine clarity, peacefulness, connected to source intelligence. Otherwise, you’ll experience a distracted mind, dominated by negative emotions, filled with craving and aversion, fear and desire (Ahamkara or Ego). So, don’t let your mind become an architect of misery. Plant the seeds of the Banyan tree. Be the master of your mind. Stay open to source intelligence!

Deserving Power

What you experience right now, it is totally contingent on your own deserving power, your whole life is an extension of that The understanding of this great law of nature can alter completely your life. So take a moment to dive into this new episode from a state of deep presence, stable mind and an open heart. As we explored in previous episodes, what level of consciousness you most consistently maintain become your experience of yourself and so life. Here we refine the understanding through the concept of deserving power. What you most consistently engage in, what state of consciousness you most consistently maintain you become capable of receiving that value in your life. If you want to raise your deserving power you have to consistently engage in the new expression of you, not from thoughts, but from your state, alter your state consistently and universe will start to organize around this new frequency. Deserving power is directly proportional to your staying power. Life can only be the way you are, cannot be any other way!! When you realize that you start to work on that, consistently show in that way, creating and meeting your future making your vision possible.

State Practice and Experience of Yoga

This episode is a gem for practitioners on the path of evolution.To understand that the state of Yog is not at the end of the arrow, the state of yoga is now.Do not use your practice as another waiting room to get the state. Become mature practitioners instead of just chasers. Mature practitioners know that you can only arrive to the state now and this requires willingness and radical responsibility. We closed the last episode with a transformative question: What can I be aware of that can alter my consciousness state right now? So are you aware of your state?

Exploring Consciousness - Part 2

Take a moment to dive deeper into your understanding of the fundamental base of existence. The meaning of life is to evolve and evolution at the core base is to gain greater cosmic consciousness, the finite value of consciousness gaining the value of its own capacity. Embrace this knowledge from your heart which is the seat of cosmic consciousness and have a glimpse of our own eternal nature. Brahmanda Rupa the cosmic form which is formless, the potential of all forms, the formless that collapses in form. Cosmic nature is the infinite potential of all life, a formless field that holds infinity within itself, it's intangible and accessible by every conscious species. So learn to access the field of cosmic consciousness.

Exploring Consciousness - Part 1

Receive a taste of what consciousness and cosmic consciousness are, and tune in for a life of fearlessness. During Sattva Summit 2019 Anand took us on an awakening journey into the wholeness of consciousness and consciousness states. Knower, known and the process of knowing are all consciousness. Everything is experienced within consciousness, everything is known in consciousness, and everything in life is the content of consciousness. The degree of the individuals awareness is their own consciousness state. Hold less tight to content that arises from your consciousness, increase the degree of awareness and shift your state, your life will shift accordingly.

And the dance can only happen now, not somewhere in the distant future or in the past. It can only happen now…. There is incredible power in this realization that you are the cause, not the effect. You are not the victim, but almighty powerful. And the power lies within your own being. It lies at this moment, you see. For it, all starts now.”
