SNEEZE MEDITATION- THE SHORTCUT TO BLISS

Yes,

Its true, sneezing can lead to

 Enlightenment or Moksha. 

BUT how does an act so common and unwanted have this potential  

?????

Well, this has been explained by 

Lord Shiva to Devi Parvati 

in a secret TANTRA literature known as 

Vigyan Bhairav Tantra.

This text has 112 methods of meditation.

Any meditation technique which was ever followed or is being followed or would ever be followed, falls under these 112 techniques only.

There can be nothing outside these 112 ways to attain Moksha.

These 112 ways include the most toughest to threatening to simplest techniques which any person can choose as per their nature or as per Guru's wish.

Amongst these techniques the easiest one, I believe, is...

SNEEZE MEDITATION  .....

which, I think, anyone of us can follow. As it does not require 

- any specific ritual to be followed, 

- no special time to be devoted.

- It could be practiced whenever we are about to sneeze, so no need to follow some strict routine for this.

Now coming to the technique, 

below is shared the Sanskrit Sutra of this meditation.

Sneeze in Sanskrit means  क्षु

--The TRANSLATION of above Sutra--

At the beginning and end of sneezing, in terror, sorrow or confusion, when fleeing from a battlefield, during (keen) curiosity, or at the onset or appeasement of hunger, that state is the external existence of Brahma.

Though this technique shares many thing along with sneezing but we will focus on sneeze part only.

--LET me share HOW this technique needs to be followed--

Right at the onset of sneezing when we begin to feel its sensation, we just need to focus our whole attention at that point of sensation and observe it.

WHAT !!!! THAT'S IT ?????

 

I MEAN REALLY  !!!!!

WANT to KNOW the  Science behind this technique ???

HERE IT IS....

SNEEZING is an involuntary act. We cannot induce sneeze no matter how much we try.

It originates without our knowing. 

We only come to know about it when we start feeling the sensation of sneeze. 

If we are not attentive right at that moment we will inevitable sneeze out.

So what happens when we become attentive !!

PLEASE note again, the sneeze is a BURST of ENERGY which takes birth in Shunya. 

We don't see it happening. 

To put it other way, sneeze is an energy which originates from our unconscious self. 

When we become attentive towards it, the quality of this energy changes.

Our observation makes this unconscious energy, CONSCIOUS. It then no longer remains an involuntary energy. 

As the renowned scientist Max Planck Once said-

"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change"

The moment we become aware of sneeze and observe it with attention, the sneeze disappears. 

--It would have happened with us many times that suddenly the ensuing sneeze just disappeared. It was because we became aware of it at the right moment--

Where does it disappear into!!!

Now it no longer burst out of our nose, it changes direction. 

It takes a U turn and rushes back towards its source.

And its source was Shunya or our unconscious self where Brahma was residing in darkness.

If we follow the back movement of this sneeze with utmost attention, it will also lead us to our source of existing. 

Whether its a petty sneeze or our whole being, ALL have the same source or origin.

Everything originates from a single source. 

AND THAT SOURCE IS WHERE LIES THE ETERNAL BLISS

HOPE the logic is clear now..

This TECHNIQUE is not a one time exercise.

With every advent of sneeze we need to practice this technique till our observation becomes so subtle and sharp that it penetrates into the origin of our being which is forever BLISSFUL.

If the sneeze disappears, take it as a sign that technique was followed rightly. 

INTERESTING isn't it !!

So whenever we feel like cold or fear at the thought of sneeze due to Corona crisis, can use this technique to feel ecstatic. 

This whole existence is so filled with mystery and magic that we can never comprehend it.

No one among us, I think, ever knew that something as trivial as sneeze is actually a gateway to Vaikuntha.

Hope you enjoyed this, HAPPY SNEEZING.
