Maha Shivratri and Meditation




We should  know what is the meaning of Shivratri and why we celebrate Shivaratri . We live in this universe on the planet earth.  Earth is part of the solar system and we have seven planets. In vedic mythology these planets are considered as GOD. Each  planet has its vibrational effect on earth based on their nature. They influence each and everything on earth whether living or nonliving beings. In astrology Moon is the mind and closest heavenly object to the earth that is why Moon has more impact on human psychology. 


Maha Shivratri is a ritual performed on the 14th night of the New Moon in the month of Phalgun (Feb/March). This is the night when people worship “the Great Lord” Mahadeva.  The King of the yogis and the guru of gurus. On Maha Shivaratri it is traditional to stay up all night with your back straight and your mind immersed in devotion for Lord Shiva. Shiva is zeroness, Shiva is the ultimate power from which everything is created and everything will be destroyed. We all  come from there and we will go there after death.


Shivratri is related to the phase of the Moon every month. Shivaratri is celebrated  on the fourteenth night of the dark Moon of the month, the night previous to the New Moon when the Moon turns total blackout.  On the 14th night the Moon is in its lowest waning phase due that our mind activity is less and to connect with GOD  our mind should be clear regarding daily thoughts. On this day the Moon is waning and it reduces mind activity. Because of this it is very easy to connect with the lord shiva or awakening to higher levels of consciousness.  On  Maha Shivaratri everyone has the potential to awaken to the highest consciousness. On Shivaratri you can awaken the five parts of your brain; the parietal, the frontal lobe, the right and left hemispheres, the occipital lobe, and top of the brain, along with the midbrain.


Maha Shivratri  is a special time when you can pray for extraordinary boons for wealth, health and power. Lord Shiva directly interferes with and removes our difficult karmas, i.e. pain or dissatisfaction around money, health or relationships. Even the worst of karmas can be dissolved by praying to lord shiva and it is possible on the Night of Shiva.


It is easy to do meditation on the 14th night of the new Moon every month.


Lord Shiva is known as lord of transformation. In Hindu mythology the story of churning of the ocean milk in which poison came out is called ''Halahal'', and no one wants to drink. It was Lord Shiva who drank that poison after that he was also known as ''Neelkant''. The message behind this story is that; when we start analyzing ourselves then we come to know how much negativity (poison) we have in ourselves.  How greedy, hateful, jealous of others, until we accept this and try to change ourselves (drink this poison) of ourselves. Then we can transform or we can connect with Lord Shiva. So to connect with Lord Shiva we need to clear out our poison of the mind so that we become pure. If we can not be free of negative traits then we can not attain the blessing of Lord Shiva.
 

There is another significance of this day. On the day of night of Maha Shivratri, the planetary placement is such that there is a natural tendency for the kundalini energy, collected in the lower  chakra at the base of the spine. If you have enough spiritual practice ( follow righteous path) then it is very easy to raise up your kundalini ( Chi energy) and reach the chakra at the top of the head.

 

Safest way of awakening Kundalini energy can be activated by various means like yoga, breathing techniques (pranayama), certain herbal preparations, creating particular vibrations in the body through the chanting of mantras. 

 

There is another method which many people use. It is easy but dangerous. And it is by through initiation (energy transmission) by a yoga adept whose Kundalini is already awakened. Kundalini awakening should be a gradual process. If some yogi raise your kundalini it will not work as it should be working because your body and mind channels are not clear. You should be aware that to raise kundalini shakti your mind and body should be clear. If not then, kundalini shakti or chi energy could  harm, because it needs a clear channel to flow in your mind and body. 


Once awakened, Kundalini brings about extraordinary transformation in the body-mind system of the individual, including a huge surge in energy levels, the healing of chronic diseases and enhanced mental abilities. 


As the Kundalini flows from the thalamus to the cortex, it sets up a powerful energy loop within the brain, generating coherent alpha and gamma waves, and awakening the dormant, non-mechanical parts of the brain which we have never used before. With increasing levels of coherence, the whole brain comes alive, turning into a super-conductor of conscious energies that heal, empower and transform our lives. Enhanced awareness levels, greater creativity and extraordinary abilities start to express through us like levitation, teleportation and materialization. Brain activation is also known to slow down the aging process and improve immunity to disease.

12th House (Hidden/Moksha) in Astrology



The 12th house is the last house in the zodiac where life begins and ends, depending on your karma. This is the house which connects us between materialistic and non-materialistic life. The 12th house also represents feet and ankles in our body.



(i think it is important to understand 12th house.. it will be worth your time)



The 12th house is the most mysterious, unknown and hidden house because it is ruled by divine will and it's not in your hand. Our whole existence is dependent on these hidden, mysterious forces. The 12th house represents the hidden enemy, loss of energy, foreign land or foreign journeys, ashram, isolated places like jail, asylum, and hospital. This is the house where we can be isolated through sorrow or peace. The 1st house is the physical body and before that we have the 12th house. So the 12th house also represents the state of life between seen and unseen. It is our subconscious mind and hidden nature from which we can connect to the 12th house.  Here we can do astral travel and also connect to the unseen world.  The people who have strong 12th house connections can easily access this unseen world. 


This is the house of meditation, spiritualism, divine knowledge and last house of liberation from the physical life (moksha). Sometimes life puts us in a situation to purify our soul in any of these situations which are very unpleasant in life but at the end your soul gets evolved. If we get sick we have a lot of time to think and purify our consciousness. In this house we intentionally or unintentionally  abandon everything to get moksha.  It is a moksha house through pain like in the 8th house which is not in our control.


Eleventh house is just before the 12th house. In the 11th house we have the highest desire to do something for the society or for ourselves but, after achieving everything in life, what to do next. Those people who are satisfied with this materialistic world want to get away from this world. They give their things to others and come to the 12th house to know the truth of life.


But on the negative side this is the house of escapism. Those people who are weak in their life responsibilities or have some weakness in their mind come to the 12th house to escape from life through e.g taking drugs and alcohol. One can find peace from these things, but all these things are temporary. 


It is the house of imagination, secrets, sleep, dreams, fantasy, sex pleasure, and entertainment (listening music). Mostly all the things represented by the 12th house are related to the effect on our subconscious mind. We feel good when we are sleeping, dreaming, meditating, escaping from “reality“, taking drugs and being entertained. This is the private part of self, where one can let go of the pressure of the outside world and float in peace of inner self. This house connects us to the deepest of our consciousness where we can connect with the one.


It is our soul which is permanent and this body is perishable. The 12th house is the house from which we must let go of things and learn to be alone because everything is temporary in life.  It will change and eventually we will lose everything. It is through the twelfth house that we lose things and must remain with the only thing that can never be taken away and that is our true nature.
