Tesla3 Posted April 26, 2019 Does anyone on here know of any disciples of Anandamayi Ma that openly teaches, or is taking disciples? Preferably in America. I feel such devotion for her and like she is continuously trying to call me towards her. Thank you 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About six months ago I was scrolling through photos of her, and her eyes on one photo sent a shock throughout my body. Her presence is still with us today very much. I hope you liked the book. I always get the impression that her teachings come from her own realization. For so many people I feel they are just repeating what they've been taught or heard elsewhere. Maybe this is the mark of a true Saint. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any place where ever great masters used to spend time in gets charged by their presence. The energy of the room is tuned to their frequency. If you can't feel the energy, but only know how to meditate, you will be able to meditate much better in such a space. Edited June 23, 2019 by dwai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel a bit ASMR from this pic very quickly and much slower and I looked her up the first time long ago. So I am wondering what energy it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It induces great stillness and clarity, as I found sitting in that room. What do you get when you connect with that feeling, and meditate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you get when you connect with that feeling, and meditate? I haven't meditated in months haha. Seems to bring my Yi to a focus. But doesn't purge impurities like proper energy. So acts like a chi for my chi or.. the awareness my chi is for me. I would think if it has an effect, then, its an energy. But this is like a magnet? It simply magnetises my energy. Still don't get, what is it doing that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your mind is stilled, then your chi will be focused. Her presence makes it easier to still the mind, resting as awareness. That is meditation. Just be, as awareness.

EmeraldHead Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) 4 hours ago, dwai said: Your chi is just the active aspect of your awareness. -Yes . I would say it is. Even the wind without a vessel has some, because chi is there. By resting as awareness, your mind will become stilled. If your mind is stilled, then your chi will be focused. Her presence makes it easier to still the mind, resting as awareness. That is meditation. Just be, as awareness. So this makes chi change? Why only dipa ma is like this? Is it like a spectrum of this stilling effect? If so what is on the ends of the spectrum? If I am going off topic or nagging you bro, ignore me and I leave it :D. EDIT: Ooops dipa ma is a different person :p. I noticed similar calming effect from dipa ma as well. :1 Edited June 26, 2019 by EmeraldHead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwai Posted June 26, 2019 32 minutes ago, EmeraldHead said: So this makes chi change? It changes with your mind. More scattered your mind, more you expend your chi. More still your mind, more focused your chi becomes. Think of it like light through a prism becomes scattered, and light in form of a laser, concentrated and focused to a powerful point. 32 minutes ago, EmeraldHead said: Why only dipa ma is like this? Is it like a spectrum of this stilling effect? If so what is on the ends of the spectrum? I’m not sure what dipa ma is. But if I understand what you’re asking, Your mind is either still or not. On one end is stillness of the mind, and the other end is scattered mind with thoughts flying through it all the time. 32 minutes ago, EmeraldHead said: If I am going off topic or nagging you bro, ignore me and I leave it :D. I think it’s best to start another topic if you have other questions wrt mind and Qi. The OP was about Anandamayi Ma. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
