New Moon/Full Moon Remote Treatments
with Guru Dev Singh Khalsa - by Hari Das Kaur,
by Hargopal Kaur Khalsa
In
Sat Nam Rasayan® we have
always related to the client as an individual. In this course Guru Dev Singh
taught us to relate to the client as a complex structure of families and
relationships. Each person is tied to the program of their family or “tribe”
which somehow appears as the structure of the resistance.
Guru
Dev proposed that we can conceive of specific sensations/events/resistance of a
person like complex relationships. We can modify the behavior of the person,
breaking the conditions that hold the person in some tendency, by modifying
that structure of the resistance. This leads to a deeper understanding of how
the client is happening.
The
following sections present some of the key elements which Guru Dev taught on
our path to achieving the above awareness in an amazing 2-day course.
“We are experiencing the part of the
awareness that allows us to be aware of this person [the client] as a member of
a group and how this group is ruling his existence. Or part of his existence.”
- Guru Dev Singh
One
exercise Guru Dev gave was to contemplate how the moon and the sun, i.e. the hot
and the cold, are relating and how they are operating in the client. Individualize the interrelationship between
the sun and the moon in the system of your partner. We’re interested in how
they are relating. We contemplate how this affects the practitioner, how the
mind reacts, the sensations (light and dark), how you feel about it.
As always, Guru Dev Singh expressed a key concept in a
unique funny way. Yes, the enemy of your client is your client. The mother of
your client is your client. The wife and the lover of the wife are your
clients. This is seeing your client as a complex set of relationships. You
don’t concur with or take sides on a feud the client may be having. You include
whom they’re feuding with as the clients as well.
We
can relate to a person’s relatives through the subtle body. “Anybody who exists
or has existed has a subtle body. And by the meditative state you’re able to
reach the information of that person. … if we break this point of congestion
that we reach by the subtle body, it has an effect on the event.”
This
meditation helps you to differentiate between the mind and the body. Your mind
and your body are two different things. However, your consciousness doesn’t
differentiate it. It may be that you have a thought and your tummy hurts. Or
your intestine locks and you think you’re dying. You don’t distinguish the mind
from the body. This meditation will allow the mind to perceive in a different
way, which makes it easier to conceive the client in a different way, as a
complex.
Put
the fingertips together with the palms apart at the level of the chest. Apply
some pressure. The eyes are closed. Inhale for 5 seconds, hold 5 seconds, and
exhale 5 seconds. Keep this rhythm. Let the mind be free, let the body be free,
and let the spirit be free. What this does is to clarify how the mind is
working and differentiate it from the body. This meditation puts you there. In one
moment your mind is free and your body’s very clear what is your body. You can
do it for 31 minutes.
There
is no pressure in the elbows. You hang the elbows and the shoulders. This gives
you the capacity, in the moment of separation, to drop the body, because the
body and the mind are already separate. If you can do that, you are guaranteed
to not have to reincarnate. It may take a long time to master this meditation,
but it’s worth it.
Once
you can relate to the structure of the resistance, it is then possible to work
with the vital point. Guru Dev also emphasized that people’s needs have so
greatly increased that we need to know what is going wrong and to be able to
break the pattern in a few minutes. The vital point is fundamental to doing
that.
The
vital point is one resistance that, when you move it, modifies the condition,
the complex of resistance. To do this, you relate to the complex structure of
the resistance and then find a resistance that is in alignment with the
intention. This may not be the main or most intense resistance. You just
release that one resistance and see how it modifies the structure of the
resistance. Go so deep that your preconceptions disappear.
“If you are working with somebody and in that moment appeared this soap opera you saw last week, that’s what appears and that’s what you need to deal with. You cannot discriminate against any sensation.”
- Guru Dev Singh
One
exercise we did involved individualizing the structure of the client, their
father and their mother at the same time. You relate to the sensations as a
group. The client is not placed in a different position from the others. You
relate to them all in the same way. It doesn’t matter if you know which person
affects which resistance or vice versa. We worked with the flow of the
sensations. Once we were finally able to conceive the client as a group, we
researched relating to each member of the group and recognized how that felt.
Guru
Dev then applied this process to conflict, having us relate to the client and
someone they’re in conflict with. He pointed out that it’s important to not
have opinions.
“When you have a client, everybody in the relation is your client.”
- Guru Dev Singh
Guru Dev had us contemplate without changing anything, without producing opinions. We researched the conflict and the sensations of the conflict.
“Let
the dynamic of the sensation take it’s own path.”
- Guru Dev Singh
Guru Dev advised us to not proclaim that we were going to
heal the family and ancestors. Not to say that we're contacting their great
aunt twice removed or that we’d be healing the family’s neurosis. That would
create expectations.
The exercise was to contemplate the conflict. This does not
mean defining the conflict. If you
define the conflict, you’ve taken a stand.
The last step is to practice and research what Guru Dev has
taught. A very incredible new approach for us.

New Moon/Full Moon Remote Treatments with Guru Dev Singh Khalsa
by Hari Das Kaur,
Once in a “blue moon” a soul has the opportunity to be in
the presence and holy vibration of a healer such as Guru Dev Singh. To have the
rare good fortune to experience a private healing appointment is even better.
One memorable summer at ladies camp in
I have never forgotten that day, how descriptively and with
immense compassion he was able to explain to me how I was looking at “my”
version of existence, rather than what was true reality. It was like looking at
the world through smudged spectacles.
He then pointed up to the rain spattered window of the
trailer that he was working in -- smiled and said “See?!!” I didn’t quite understand
of course, but I felt better, happier, and with each treatment throughout the
years even better.
Life can be unpredictable, and at times can catch us off
guard, and at the least, very challenging. However, with his healings, we can
come to know ourselves better, master our dilemmas, and come to realize that we
don’t have to suffer.
Remote treatments are made available to us and arranged
through CCA: kirpal@gurudevsnr.com. phone:
310-289-1312 or fax: 310-289-1340. Checks, money orders, and credit cards
payable to the Center for Contemplative Awareness;
Every month I have a pre-arranged new moon remote treatment
with Guru Dev and I look forward to it immensely. Sometimes there is a need for
an immediate treatment because of circumstances. This is when you call CCA and the arrangement with Guru Dev
will be made. The remote treatments are $135 and if you wish to personally
speak with Guru Dev about your treatment, the cost is $175.
There are specific qualities to the new moon and full moon,
and Guru Dev will determine which phase is most suited to your healing. These
two phases are the times that the psyche is most receptive to healing
awareness. For release New Year’s Eve remotes are great! For renewal New Year’s
Day remotes are just the thing for bringing this remarkable graceful
energy into your life you will be creating a more uplifting and happier
existence.
