Satyameva jayate:The Victory of light over the shadow: A Real-Life Encounter

03 November 2016, Lebua Resort, Jaipur, India

The truth is that we are merely projections of light from the soul that we are. We pass through a golden beam of creative intelligence penetrating through planet earth. Life on earth is a phenomenal game of light and shadow. It is intriguing to witness and absorb the experience of this powerful game of life.

I took an opportunity to experiment with the game of light and shadows in an up-close real-life scenario. The setting was a spectacularly beautiful resort called ‘Lebua’ on the outskirts of Jaipur.  I was called upon by an amazing CEO of a service based Indian organization, to help their managers attain some clarity in their journey of life.

In my introduction talk addressed to all the participants, I had described the healing and penetrative power of music. Music is the most potent and harmless drug that is gifted to us by higher intelligence. The highlight of the heightened musical experience is when it is rendered, recorded, reproduced by high-fidelity hardware and absorbed by keen aspirants. I had promised them that we would explore this through a musical session that can truly justify the depth of healing and ecstatic states possible.

The participants were eager to experience the power of absorbing music and healing transmissions. Thankfully there seemed to be an appreciable grade of music set-up offered to us at the banquet hall. I briefed the DJ and that I am going to take over for the jockey role for a while. He seemed a bit concerned if his services would be ignored for the evening.

The lights were switched to ambient mood, as I commenced the session. A quick survey of the participants gathered at the session allowed me to realize that they had no experience of energy flow in their subtle body but some were keen to absorb music. I suggested to all of them a simple way to prepare themselves to receive the flow through openness. The session began with circle of light. Standing in a circle holding hands and breathing deeply for 20 minutes seemed a laborious task for most of them. Some of them wiggled, complained, protested as their bodies were subjected to unfamiliar sensations and prana experience. It threatened their comfort zone. It is not a surprise that majority of people have never experienced deep breathing. This often induces the unprepared ones into hyper-ventilation, nausea, tiredness and makes them edgy, itchy and irritable.

I was all eyes, observing everyone intently.  It became evident that some people in the circle would engage enough to rise above just being curious and enjoy an extraordinary experience. I trusted that they would benefit from an electro-magnetic induction process. One of the fastest ways to boost energy flow and receptivity is by tapping into the power of gamma wave healing transmissions. I touched each of them on their fontanel and heart center to help them to be more receptive in their brain neurons, enhance coherence and ignite prana flow in the meridian network across the subtle body.

More importantly the music did seem to have a positive and magical impact on aspirants that were absorbed and receptive. They began to discover that it became progressively easier to sync into the immersive music of soulful artists like Laxula, Mayra Andrade, Maria Gadu, Johannes Linstead, Habib Koite, Pavlo, B-tribe, Jesse Cook, Kevin Laliberte, Al Marconi, Bebe, Sona Jobarteh, Niladri Kumar, Papon, Hariprasad Chaurasia, Rahul Sharma, Sivamani and Zakir Hussain.

As the session unfolded further, the aspirants were ushered to be observant of the changes that were experiencing within. It took a bit of persistence until the threshold of resistance cracked open. I noticed the distinctive shift in the state-of-being in many of them who were open. They enjoyed and celebrated the music and flow of energy. They were enveloped in an expansive sound stage and consumed in their breathing activity with little opportunity for any drifting thinking process. A magical click within happened to a few intense aspirants. I witnessed the shifts happening. The music and breathing penetrated enough to unlock the neuron receptors and gateways.

A positive sign of shift in such circumstances is that one experiences a deep sense of well-being, freedom and soaring free-spiritedness. The gateways in the frontal tegmental area unlock and serve as a pathway to the flow of serotonin, endorphin and dopamine into the ventricle gaps.

The effect of the pleasure chemical flow in the brain is that the body swayed to music involuntarily, induced in an ecstatic trance state. The purity of musical notes, soulful melodies, strings, and rhythmic beats transformed the vibrancy of the surrounding. I could feel every cell within me vibrating to its purest potential. The hall was transformed into a fused frequency hub. As an avid experimenter, it was thrilling to watch the effect on most of the participants. The session ended as most aspirants had reached their tipping point. They opened their eyes to witness a different world within and around them.

However there was an event that ignited the curiosity of all. A novice aspirant in the circle had over exerted his breath. This pushed his brain into enhanced delta-wave mode. His breath switched to high intensity involuntarily and he stood erect like a pillar with his eyes locked upward into his brain center. The aspirants were amused and surprised to see this unusual effect on their colleague. They just gathered around him and voicing their anxiety and concerns. The best option was to let him absorb higher awareness through his progressive experience. However the situation got edgy for some of his colleagues. I decided to intervene. With a swift move, I lowered him gently on the carpet. Lying flat on his back, he seemed unaffected by the commotion around him. He seemed to be absorbing everything, while his breath sustained in intense mode.

I took the decision to bring him back to his normal self. Stepping on his navel, I re-directed the flow of prana through the ida and pingala channel and tapped hard on his lung meridians. He sprung up and sat upright much to the delight and amusement of his concerned colleagues.

Immersed in his high vibrancy space within for a brief passage of time, he became a subject of intense curiosity. As his breath eventually returned to normal pattern, he gathered himself to face the outer world. By then, he had become an instant celebrity, mobbed and grilled with a barrage of questions by excited friends. Many were baffled by the possibility of how intense breathing and receptivity could bring about an expanded awareness. They began to realize the power of energy transmission and how receptive he had been to the electro-magnetic field.

In the midst of all this commotion, one participant approached me, demanding to be given a similar experience. His boisterous claim that he was born in Uttarakhand, a sacred land of yogis and saints in the Himalayan mountain terrain. His claim to glory was that he had inherited yogic experience by sheer exposure to divine shakti ceremonies in his native. It became so apparent that he had no personal experience of energy rising in his subtle instrument. I did try to help him out. He offered resistance and seemed disappointed that he couldn’t get into absorbed state. He stated that his energies were not in sync with the music and even questioned my abilities to help him. I shared with him that grace is not guaranteed by virtue of birth in a sacred land.  If so all the humble Nepali sherpas could claim enlightenment as they spin around the most sacred ‘Mount Kailash’ in Tibet, hundreds of times in a lifetime.

In a few moments, many in the crowd wanted their share of pleasure. The bar counter in far corner of the hall became impossible to ignore. Most of them flocked at the counter in a major hurry. The noise in the banquet hall soon tipped to distortion levels, with cacophony of loud voices, over-zealous beings digging into unending supply of food and drinks.

The designated DJ of the evening was itching to take over the console and do justice to his presence, while I had almost called it a day. Meanwhile another twist took place in the proceedings. A few aspirants approached me to take them into another musical healing journey. I asked them if they were sure, considering the noise and boisterous mood prevailing across the hall. Their request was persistent. It seemed that they had a glimpse of an experience and now looked determined to plunge deeper into the music. They wanted to meditate and some wanted to experience purest musical ecstasy. I couldn’t delay nor refuse them the opportunity.

Moving across to the music set-up, encountered the DJ again. This time he glared at me, non-approving my intervention .  He submitted to a better deal as I ushered him and his two assistants to the food and bar counter, much to their delight. I re-looked my vast music collection as musical memories flashed across. I tuned into intuition to guide me through an interesting mix that would inspire them to go deeper into meditative awareness.

The first track called “Rosa” by singing sensation ‘Mayra Andrade’, was an ice-breaker. It instantly connected with the aspirants who were now more eager to receive the flow. As I walked around to each of them, I could over hear the cross-talk of our happily drunk non-participants. There were eyes everywhere watching every move of mine. I overheard unfavourable comments. For a moment, I felt distracted and pondered. Was I trying to prove anything to these people who would never care to know the science of cymatics (sound vibrations) and transformation that was possible?

Standing still and silent within, I just surrendered to the moment, seeking an answer within. A deep surge of warm current passed through my spine. I took this as a green signal to go ahead with what I had agreed upon. I heard the voice within prompting me – “What others think of you is none of your business”. I repeated it again to reassure that I would rise above the challenging surrounding. I changed the tempo of the music and urged every participant to focus on their deep breathing. In about 10 minutes, the music had weaved its magical effect.

I was concerned that the participants would get distracted by the noise around. So the best remedy was to get them to lie down and enjoy the music with their focus inward. I whispered in their ears to direct their awareness to their spine and celebrate the music that they absorbed. Tremendous energies passed through me and this was relayed across to the participants through magnetic touch.

The session lasted over 40 ecstatic minutes. I turned down the sound levels and slowly guided the participants back on their feet. Fresh, gleaming faces greeted me. When their eyes met, they reflected a sense of elation.  A few girls thanked me and said it was the most magical experience they ever had. I thanked them in return for sustaining the focused awareness within. As they shared their experiences, I realized that they had not heard any commotion or voices of their colleagues around them. Such was the impact of plunging into immersive state. I felt a wave of deep gratitude for this event, as it gave me a deep sense of victory of light over the shadow elements.

As I walked out of the hall to the washroom, the best moment came up, when the ‘uttarakhand’ bloke who was busy passing comments during the entire second session, walked up to me and hugged me, and remarked “you are a great soul”. He surprised me. I felt happy that he probably realized the power of purity and intent.

Inside the washroom, I stared at my face in the mirror. A crackling laughter emerged from the pit of my belly. The cosmic joke has its ways as it celebrates its intricate play of light and shadows. We are mere instruments and pipelines in the cosmic intervention.
