God, whose love and joy are present everywhere, Can’t come and visit you unless you aren’t there.

It seems wherever I get I hear more about this: Just be receptive. Empty yourself in order to become more. You’re so full of yourself and your own ideas that nothing new can come in.

In order to become everything, you have to become nothing first.

This is yoga to me, more receptivity, more awareness.

But why? Why is it so important? Why everybody talks about this?

While having a speech, Sadhguru observed someone  was trying to write every single word he was uttering. His reaction was “You don’t need to write these things down. Just be with me, here ,now. Be with me and you will learn everything.”

Swami Vivekananda it is said to get his name because of his receptivity. He could hold a book in between his palms and know everything about it.

A Tibetan monk with whom I was spending time with, was just sitting next to me and talking about the thoughts I was having in my mind. He was “reading me”.

Some people read your past. Just by connecting to you. They know things only you know.

You pay them, and think they are supernatural powers. You are afraid of them, because you don’t understand how it works.

Is this a power? Is this mysticism, magic?

We call magic and spirituality everything we don’t understand.

You also hold this powers in you. You just have to develop them. Did it ever happen to you that you were sitting next to a person and just start singing a song and the person next to you said “Omg I was just having the same song the whole day in my head”

Did it ever happened to you that you start talking about something and the person next to you said “Wow this is what I needed to hear, I didn’t talk with no one about it, but you just start speaking about the subject that was going into my head.”

After a Saturday class I was just sitting and talking with a person and she was telling me “People sometimes talk about a pain in their hand, but they don’t know that pain can come from their foot. People heal the symptoms but rarely the sources.”

I was overwhelmed everything I used to speak about she was just using the same kind of language and references. I just started smiling and ask her “Where did you read these things?”

“I don’t know, I don’t remember, from everywhere, no place in specific.”

It just hit me. I remembered Sadhguru talking with someone about world economics. He never read a book on it or knew the terminology of words in this field, but he was talking like a god of economics.

The person next to him was astonished “How do you know this? This is my life study, how can you have access to this kind of information?! Without reading 1 book”

“I m just picking this things out of you! :)) I don’t have the time to read this nonsense.”

This was exactly the case “Just be with me. No writing down, and you ll know everything.”

Just be receptive and open minded and everything will come. All the information is there, you are just an antenna picking things out form this place called Oneness, Consciousness where all information sits.

Just sitting next to someone and being receptive. You learn more than words can bring to you.

But why this is not always happening? How come is just by accident sometimes?

It is said that every 90 min at least for 1 your both hemispheres are balanced. You get a break from stress and some peace of mind. And when the mind is quiet and you stop being full of your own ideas, the universe can do its work with you. You have a glimpse of something, an epiphany. “You allow God in.”

In order to get an “update” you should stop all “applications” and restart for the new program to function.

Practicing yoga, you develop this ability and it happens more often, until you can control it and allow it to happen regularly, or live constantly in it.  Yoga is a technology. Is like advanced math.

This plus that plus this = that. You do this and this and this and you get that. Healing the body, prevention of sickness, fitness of the body, these are just scratching the surface of this technology.

It is accidental because you are not yet in control of it. People are influencing you, by their action, by their thoughts and you still think it s you. Just looking at something you get influenced, not only by thought but by emotions.

You can be perfectly in shape. Your mind is still. Emotions pleasant.

Just walking the street. You tap without wanting in everybody’s mind and  chaos :)) And you add this to you, you think it s you, but then, how come your mood change? Why? Where did these new thoughts come from?
You have to understand it s not you. It s their energy. Observe yourself more. Yoga is not a thing, happening in a class, 1 h a day.

That is practice. Yoga is a 24 h lifestyle. You’re constantly observing and regulating. Always aware of the body and mind fluctuation. In charge of your own.

There is a beautiful story about this and some more words to add to it. “Behold, like the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand.” ~ Jeremiah 18:6

There was a couple who used to go to England to shop in the beautiful stores. They both liked antiques and pottery and especially teacups. This was their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. One day in this beautiful shop they saw a beautiful teacup. They said, “May we see that? We’ve never seen one quite so beautiful.”

As the lady handed it to them, suddenly the teacup spoke. “You don’t understand,” it said. “I haven’t always been a teacup. There was a time when I was red and I was clay. My master took me and rolled me and patted me over and over and I yelled out, ‘Let me alone’, but he only smiled, ‘Not yet.'”

“Then I was placed on a spinning wheel,” the teacup said, “and suddenly I was spun around and around and around. ‘Stop it! I’m getting dizzy!’ I screamed. But the master only nodded and said, ‘Not yet.'”

“Then he put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I wondered why he wanted to burn me, and I yelled and knocked at the door. I could see him through the opening and I could read his lips as he shook his head, ‘Not yet.'” “Finally the door opened, he put me on the shelf, and I began to cool. ‘There, that’s better’, I said. And he brushed and painted me all over. The fumes were horrible. I thought I would gag. ‘Stop it, stop it!’ I cried. He only nodded, ‘Not yet.'”

“Then suddenly he put me back into the oven, not like the first one. This was twice as hot and I knew I would suffocate. I begged. I pleaded. I screamed. I cried. All the time I could see him through the opening nodding his head saying, ‘Not yet.’

” Then I knew there wasn’t any hope. I would never make it. I was ready to give up. But the door opened and he took me out and placed me on the shelf. One hour later he handed me a mirror and I couldn’t believe it was me.

‘It’s beautiful. I’m beautiful.'”

“‘I want you to remember, then,’ he said, ‘I know it hurts to be rolled and patted, but if I had left you alone, you would have dried up. I know it made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel, but if I had stopped, you would have crumbled. I knew it hurt and was hot and disagreeable in the oven, but if I hadn’t put you there, you would have cracked. I know the fumes were bad when I brushed and painted you all over, but if I hadn’t done that, you never would have hardened; you would not have had any color in your life. And if I hadn’t put you back in that second oven, you wouldn’t survive for very long because the hardness would not have held. Now you are a finished product. You are what I had in mind when I first began with you.'”

I know yoga is hard sometimes and it takes some discipline and pain.

But I’m not yet done with you.

We are doing this together and yet, you are responsible for everything that comes in your path. Your evolution is in your hand. By raising yourself, you raise others. How you tap into someone else mind for information you also bring them your emotions, and your temper. No matter how happy you are, how discipline, how successful, it will come a time when someone will bring you down with their mood their attitude their behavior.

You are equally responsible for you as for other. Yoga is union. Yoga is inclusiveness.

Everybody has to be good in order for this world to be better. So raise yourself and share your sweetness. Share your wisdom share everything that is good and help others raise themselves.

Raise your energies and be stable so all these passing fluctuation don’t affect you to much.

The universe wants to tap into you, but you have to change your frequency. You need to be receptive to it.  Be Open.  Be Inclusive. Just be.
