SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY IS HAPPENING - JULY 2nd and July 19th

http://alakesh.gaia.com — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 23:28:39 GMT

A global phenomenon in the form of Grace Light is about to drench humanity like no other event in our lifetime. This miraculous light will diffuse sorrow, disease and other negative realities while infusing our hearts with new levels of compassion, joy and divine intelligence.

Revered Master Dattatreya Siva Baba will transmit profound Grace Light empowerments for physical, mental and spiritual healing. Come and receive this light and then learn how to become a "giver" of it to help heal our communities and awaken the human heart.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Aspects of life that give you pain or heart sorrow will be infused with light to remove the negativity that is limiting you. Job, finances, relationship, health, etc. - all can change through the miraculous, instantaneous power of the divine. Nothing negative can withstand the nuclear intensity of Grace Light. It happens through the overwhelming love of the divine to heal and nurture and protect - the ultimate mother - the ultimate father - the Grace Light that flows through Baba will flow to you.

Testimonial from Private Grace Light Program Participant

WOW!!! I was blessed to participate in a small gathering where Baba shared the Grace Light with us - a 'sneak-peak' of what is to come to everyone soon. With my deepest appreciation, I sincerely encourage anyone and everyone to attend the 'Grace Light' Seminars in July. This will not be like any other event in the past. Dattatreya Siva Baba has spent years (plus many previous life-times) preparing us for this time. I can say without hesitation that the time is NOW.

I felt it right away - the currents and the heat - an instant awakening in the depths of my soul - this connection with the Grace Light. My heart was struck with genuine warmth and compassion. I could literally feel nothing besides the outpouring of Divine love - giving and receiving with my partner(s). Full force was this ecstatic love radiating beyond the physical form into the infinite space. I was immediately transported into such blissful feelings - timeless - free of all boundaries and limitations - mentally, spiritually and physically - in the highest light of consciousness and intention. I never conceived that I could be part of so much healing love - so stimulating - so powerful - so pure - washing over everyone in that room.

This phenomenon needs to be shared with the world - to be experienced by the world - engaged by everyone at every moment - this tangible realization of Heaven on Earth. Dattatreya Siva Baba has made it possible to bring forth the Grace Light in a very simple form with the perfect elements allowing us to bathe in the Grace Light and transcend our selves. This is a time when a critical shift for our planet needs to take place - for the Grace Light to ignite and allow the Golden Age to begin.

In the days following the Grace Light program with Baba, I witnessed many changes in my perception of what 'life' really is and also in my interactions with those around me. I am completely uplifted in profound, inexpressible ways. My heartfelt gratitude lays at the feet of Dattatreya Siva Baba for transmitting the Grace Light.

I'm going to be in New Jersey on May 17

http://singerseeker.gaia.com — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 11:32:56 GMT

Hi people, I'm actually a Montrealer, but since I will be in New Jersey on business in May, I thought I would check in here to see if anyone wants to meet up with me and have a Gaia get together. Feel free to send me a PM if you're interested. I will be staying in Franklin Park, about 28 miles from the Newark airport, so will probably want to meet up at a restaurant somewhere around there.

What do you think?

Love and light,

Nicole

Contact alakesh@sivababa.org for event details and discount availability-

Here's an excerpt from Dr. Wayne Dyer after receiving a package containing the Sounds Of Creation from Dattatreya Siva Baba:

"The package came from one of the most divine, enlightened beings on earth, Shri Guruji "Datta", a mystic and scholar of the ancient Tamil tradition of southern India. His instructions were simple: meditate for 20 minutes each day, for 15 days, and repeat these sounds. He promised that if I would do that, I would awaken the power inside me to manifest miracles. So I tried it. After 15 days, phenomenal things began happening in my life. Things started showing up that I would put my attention on. I would do the daily meditation using these sounds of creation, and whatever I thought about, happened. And the same thing happened to people with whom I shared this secret." Dr. Wayne Dyer

Re: EFT practitioners?

heya

suprisingly I don't think there are any EFT practitioners in NYC

the good news, though, is that you can learn EFT in about half an hour and then begin applying it to yourself immediately.

check the very basic EFT course DVD at emofree.com

EFT is very, very cool IMO

Blossom is great. I first went there for brunch and wasn't impressed, but my second outing there was for dinner and it was impressive.
Blossom opened a second location last month on the Upper West Side. It is more of a cafe style than their Chelsea version.

Enlightement - NEW YEAR EVENT at the Roosevelt hotel in Manhattan

http://alakesh.gaia.com — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 19:00:56 GMT

Enlightenment has been defined differently by different traditions. One common denominator accepted unanimously is that Enlightenment is about gaining super-consciousness and wisdom. Attaining Enlightenment is a matter of losing one's ego and mind. You are "somebody" now, you have to become "nobody". When you become "nobody" you are "everybody". This is the advantage of losing the ego which limits you. Losing the mind involves mastering and transcending thought consciousness.

Generally speaking, human psychology consists of Ego (the "I" consciousness), Maya (the sensory perceptions) and Karma (the destiny which follows you through many births). Each of the three concepts need to be examined at length to understand the human psychology. The purpose is to go beyond all psychological concepts to experience thoughtless awareness which forms the substratum on Enlightenment.

Dattatreya Siva Baba will introduce classical texts like Siva Sutra and Yoga Vasistha that illustrates the psychological approach to Enlightenment. There will be both theory and practice. This approach uses classical yoga techniques to dissolve the ego and the mind. When you meditate on the shushumna, the central nadi within the spinal column, thoughts will get dissolved.

Dattatreya Siva Baba will introduce 3 to 4 techniques to gain mastery over the mind. The techniques include the use of mantras (divine sounds), yantras (sacred geometrical designs) and pooja (sacred ritual). During this workshop, Dattatreya Siva Baba will empower the participants to acquire higher states of consciousness through His darshan. (Darshan is the transmission of divine energy from the Master to the student.)

It's raw but also vegan (and sooo yummy)

Sat, 17 Nov 2007 15:34:19 GMT

Raw Soul in Harlem is sooo amazing. We went there again lastnight and the food is so delicious. They serve amazing raw vegan entrees such as pizza, burgers and enchiladas (all delicious). The also make amazing pies and cheesecakes. Lastnight they had an amzing fruit parfait. Lots of smoothies and juices...and don't miss the apricot biscuits. They ca be a little slow sometimes though, but it's always worth the wait.

Re: Volunteering with a child?

Sat, 10 Nov 2007 02:26:47 GMT

This is a great idea! Thank you. I actually used to do this with my grandmother when I was a child. We would bake biscuits and bring them to the nursing home every week and visit people there. I live in Bay Ridge and there seems to be a lot of nursing homes out here too. If anyone has any other ideas I'd love to hear those too! Thanks!

Re: Volunteering with a child?

http://selfexpression.gaia.com — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 04:15:49 GMT

Erika;
I suggest you to go visit a nursing home with your daughter. The love, smiles and joy you will bring to the people will be so healing to all with the presence of you and your daughter. A friend of mine has been doing this with her daughter at 4 and is now 12 and once had cancer at age 3 with this love vibration helping all involved. Enjoy, ask permission and perhaps this venue will be an experience you and child will learn and love as well sharing stories.

Namaste;
Janet

Volunteering with a child?

I was wondering if anyone knew of any volunteering opportunities in NYC (preferably Brooklyn) that I could do with my 4 year old daughter?

Acupuncture for Psycho-spiritual Health

http://Acupuncturist.gaia.com — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 14:21:21 GMT

Hello, everyone! I am new to zaadz and new to my carreer as an acupuncturist. However, I am not new to the healing arts. I grew up learning herbalism at home, and have been practicing Reiki for 16 years. I also have many years of crisis counseling under my belt. I recently opened up a small practice in Soho- Radiant Spirit Healing Arts, where I focus on addressing the psychic and spiritual connections to physical disharmonies. I have been able to help people with insomnia, anxiety, gastro-intestinal distress, and body pain. As a special celebration of my new practice, I am offering FREE TREATMENTS to the first five folks from this pod who contact me. No strings attached (okay, there is one - i would love for you to post a review on zPages after your treatment). Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can be of service. Blessings, Raven

Expanding the Temple of the Monkey

Hey New York, Just posting the next expantion of Temple of the Monkey, take a look if you can, all the best Damon http://www.templeofthemonkey.org/ Mission: Temple of the Monkey exists to provide quality instruction, personal development and to be a resource for the community and professional world. Our goals are to be autonomous, to work for the betterment of humanity through the refinement of skill, and to evolve consciousness through self preservation. We provide classes and personal instruction, and contract ourselves as fight choreographers and consultants to professionals, institutions and individuals who seek skill and experience about the martial world view.
