Special Days for Meditation — January 2018
2018 is going to be a unique and rare year, compared to the previous few years. The year will be bringing many unexpected changes and there will be a lot of required expiation to justice and truths. It will be in areas of rewards and punishments, equality and fairness.
The year will not be easy-going or laid back. The transition will strengthen and this means that we will be pushed out of our comfort zones. The faster we tune up and align with the Spiritual Principles, the easier it will be.
We are in a phase where the life around functions like a mirror. The various incidents and occurrences of life reflect our inner nature and characteristics. It continuously shows what is within, so that we can see clearly and know what to work on. To reach peacefulness and a positive phase, we have to continuously work on ourselves.
Always do not forget, the Pralaya period is a very rewarding and good phase. It is a period of transformation. We forget that amidst our struggles. It is in this period that we can grow the maximum and so much help is available from the Divine.
The year presents opportunities wherein if we spend proper time in reflection and introspection and make sincere efforts towards the necessary changes, we will be able to overcome our limitations faster. We will be able to start enjoying the period of transition rather than struggling through it.
Another important aspect of the year will be the thrust on proper balance of the Spiritual and material aspects of our life. Bringing a proper balance helps in clearing various issues we face.
There will be five eclipses during the year and each of them will be important. The energies released during the respective eclipses will help each individual in various ways throughout the year. Many heavy karmas too will be burnt.
The mid of the year will be challenging and there will be a strong push for everyone to become more positive. We can sail through by breathing more, accepting more and tuning up. Hold a lot of love and gratitude within and connect to Light. These small practices will help us tune up and we find a way.
♦ ♦ ♦
The Rishis also give a technique that can be practiced anytime throughout the entire year. It will help us to absorb and connect to the necessary energies required at that point in time and tune up to the Pralaya processes. It will work wonders when we make sincere efforts.
We can face any direction while practicing this technique. But please sit in a room and practice.
Duration – 24 to 60 minutes.
Begin with 7 rounds of Pranayama with bright-Golden Light.
Connect to 2018, and offer your respects, love and gratitude. Be mentally open and flexible to receive the Light and love and accept whatever comes.
Then, imagine Bluish-Purple Light coming from 2018 and allow it to fill your entire body. Experience for some time. Then, with your intention send the Light to your upcoming life, decisions and period. Keep sending such that each of the aspects gets filled with the Light and experience this throughout the Meditation.
Silently keep repeating the mantra “Om Kala Tejasayai Namaha” silently.

January
January will be a preparatory month for the whole year. It will be an opportune period for all of us to decide and implement important decisions. We will be able to experience various auspicious energies and the eclipse energies this month. Be patient and make efforts to absorb the energies. They will help us immensely going ahead.
The Shunya Masa Rishis will be with us till the middle of the month. Connect to them as often as you can and make best use of their Light, energies and Wisdom.
We will also have the presence of Sankranti Purusha later in the month who will bring amazing energies and gifts for humanity which we can absorb through Meditation. Pray that you should always be in a position to make best use of the absorbed energies.
♦ ♦ ♦
Various Divine Personalities and Rishis are working very hard for humanity. They have to work through a lot of egos, darkness and conditionings. And finally, it is our choices and efforts that bring us efforts. Be aware of these realities and grateful for each and every gift that we receive.
