Dear Everyone,
Sat Nam!
Has the topic of the neutral mind entered your awareness? Cultivating
the neutral mind is a major theme of the numerology of 2011, which I
explained in my last newsletter - New Millennium Being. You can download
it from the following links or go to the astro-ezine button on
www.yogatech.com and you will find the links for all 178 issues.

In the meantime, below is what I wrote about the practice of cultivating
the neutral mind.
Enjoy and many blessings,
Guru Rattana :+)
*_Cultivating Your Neutral Mind -- Awareness and Paying Attention_*
Our most important inner task in 2011 is to cultivate our neutral mind,
from where we can access a state of oneness, peace and love.
We must have access to our neutral mind to be able to lift the veil of
fear and thus to move out of the illusions that keep us in darkness,
ignorance and suffering. Yes, chanting Divine Mantras is our master
technology. But equally important is cultivating awareness. Paying
attention is required to awaken our neutral mind, where we can access
reality beyond illusion.
The process is simple (but practice is essential)-- Close your eyes
and look into your inner space. Whatever you see, hear or perceive when
you close your eyes is IT.Common experiences are darkness, space, cave,
nothing, void, light, etc. Whatever YOU see, pay attention to that --
dark, stable, peaceful, nothing. Don't distract yourself with 'is this
it?' It is through paying attention to whatever is there that does not
change that the awakening happens. Simply pay attention to what is. Not
to what you want. Not to what you think 'should' be there. Do not
contrive a mentally or emotionally directed visualization.
Over time you will discover that you are paying attention to much more
than space or blackness. All the qualities that you have been searching
for are the essence qualities of your neutral mind -- peace, stability,
neutrality, non-judgment, stillness, silence, etc. Focus on these
qualities until you experience them in your being. These essence
qualities exist in every cell of your being (ung sung wahe guru) and in
the whole universe. They are always present. Allow yourself to be
absorbed into these qualities (one at a time) and you will experience
the oneness that was always there and always will be there. All we have
to do is pay attention to IT.
Take time between exercises and after a kiva and meditation to pay
attention and to go deep into your experience. You will find your
essence, unity, oneness and Love. The more you pay attention, the more
familiar you will become with IT.
You will begin to experience the reality of -- Take one step toward
God and God takes many steps toward you. One step is paying attention.
Notice the difference between searching and paying attention. Grabbing,
searching takes energy and leads you nowhere. Paying attention takes the
same energy, but you get something wonderful back -- the gifts of inner
peace, stability, neutrality and love.
The Pineal Gland Kriya on page 53 in SEXUALITY AND SPIRITUALITY
(available on www.yogatech.com <http://www.yogatech.com> ) is one of my
very favorites for cultivating the neutral mind. Also see the Meditation
Facilitators included in every one of my manuals. All arm exercises help
us access 'the space.' The key is to pay attention after doing the exercise.
