OM Shanti OM - 7 steps to your Meditation- awakening your Atam Shakti

These seven steps have become a part of my meditation....................so it is my pleasure to share them with you.
As we all grow in our own spirituality, please share these Steps with all who may benefit from them.

THANKING:
1) Thank & Recognize your creator. Acknowledge his divine power to influence all that is in this universe.
2) Recognize and Thank your parents, without whom you would not have been born. ( If they are no longer with you, thank their Atma)
3) Recognize and Thank the various devi's and Devtaas ( Gods and Goddesses) of the universe for running this complex environment that we all live in.: I personally thank
Suryia ( Sun ) devtaa
Vayu ( Air ) Devtaa
Jaal ( Water ) devtaa
Dharti MA ( Mother Earth )
and all other gods and goddesses who bestow upon us their blessing and manage this ever giving universe of ours.
It is a sad commentary for us human beings to not thank the universe ( Sansar ) for all it provides. Everything is given to us without asking for anything in return ( the Sun always shines and radiates our lives without asking for anything in return), yet we never take the time to acknowledge these universal gift(s).

FORGIVING
4) With the most sincere heart FORGIVE all who have hurt you knowingly and or unknowingly.
This should be done by taking specific names of people whose hurt you are carrying on your shoulders. The hurt that has emotionally tied you down, that has taken up free space in your heart and your head. FORGIVE ALL .....period. NO If's, buts or what ever...........just absolute forgiveness. I have been doing this now for a while and ...............I no longer waste my time and energy on people who have hurt me............... period.
5) The other part of forgiveness is to ask FOR FORGIVENESS from all those that you have hurt knowingly and unknowingly.
Ask for forgiveness for all your past and present life. Then turn around and ask for forgiveness from Param Pita Parmeshwar or the universe for all of your deeds that you are not proud of. Be as specific or as general u you want to be ............... its up to you.

ASKING:
6)Here in lies your HUMILITY.................ask for OTHERS Never for yourself.
If you know any one who is in need Name them and ask for his or her path of difficulties be cleared. If some one cannot find employment, ask for him or her, ask for everybody that u know who is suffering from, issues relating to health, finances,relationships....anything............ ask for longevity and great health for your mom and Dad............ask for your husband, kids......well being etc......................this asking should be not only limited to your family but should be for friends and acquaintances.
When u ask...it humbles you and you realize how well off you are, how insignificant your problems are. Also by asking for others, the universe (Your Atma ( Soul) that is now being aligned with the universe through these 7 steps knows of your needs) , thus you need not ask for your self.
7) Acknowledge his blessing for you and ask for continued guidance and his presence in your life.

Meditate on
"OM SHANTI OM"



Try and do this for 15 minutes 2 times a day. Do it sitting or while you are lying in Bed upon awakening and before you go to bed.
The universe is very accommodating.........what counts is your Bhavna (your intentions) not whether you sit up and pray or lie down and pray
By making the above a daily practice for the next 30 days, you will notice a change in your self (Your Atam shakti will start to awaken).
Remember the Atma (soul) is like a Hard Drive of the computer...........it is full of hurts and issues, the cleaner it gets, the easier will your life be.
The aim should be to wipe out the Hard Drive and start afresh.
For those of you reading this, I do not claim to know anything, I have no specific knowledge......all I know is that I was given the gift of spirituality by my parents for which I am ever so grateful ......As I journey through this life, in the end all I hope to attain is my............. Humility.
May you be blessed with his divine Blessings.
Namastae and God Bless


PS:
As you reflect on the above, meditating on "OM Shanti OM" , is after all our ultimate desire.................to be at peace within our selves and within his universe. When we attain that................. there will be no need unfulfilled and we shall be a step closer to Nirvana.
