interferes in my life”

Ch : There are certain problems which I have spoken to you about.
RN
: They
are still carrying on?
Ch
: Much lesser in intensity
rather as compared to what they were.
RN
: Your
husband was going to come into Reiki , then what happened?
He decided against it?
Ch
: No, not decided against
it... but...
RN
:
You didn’t set such a good example?
Sitting next to you is Ritu who set such a good example in front
of her husband that when he came to
the Reiki Seminar, he said the only reason why he came to Reiki is—his
wife’s anger
has disappeared. (laughter)
Now he has become a completely
changed man. What do you think?
Ch
: Yes , he has completely
changed.
RN
: He has become so lovable,
isn’t it?
Ch
: He was always lovable, but
now I can love him more. He is
totally different.
RN
: So sometimes we need that
touch of unconditional love in our life to be able to unfold and be the real
person that we are. Sometimes it
needs a wife, sometimes it needs a nice Reiki master.
(laughter)
Ch
: The Reiki master is the most important.
(laughter)
RN
: Yes, Praveen.
Ch
: After coming to you I
have changed a lot. In fact I have
become possessive about my work. Because
when I was going through everything this was something that gave me lot of
strength. It helped me feel good.
I became very possessive about it and if anybody says something about my
work, getting late or getting very involved I get very touchy about it.
NN:
Why are you getting touchy about it?
The
only reason why you get touchy is because you will find something what they are
saying which matches with something with whats inside you.
Because if you are enjoying yourself completely and having a nice time
you couldn’t give a damn, quite rightly, what anybody says about your work but
if you are touchy, if you are protective or if you are possessive about it ,
that means you yourself are not so sure.
Ch
: Why that happens is because
of the comparative and the partial things that happens at home between a man
going to work and a woman going to work.
NN
: If the husband
is saying something, then that’s a
different equation…
Ch
:
Husband does not usually....
NN
: Then who says?
Ch
: My in-laws.
NN
: In-laws and who else says?
Ch
: They are the only ones.
NN
: So what do you care?
Ch
: I don’t anymore.
NN
: Fine, so you tell them. (laughs)
Why, bilqul theek hai.
Bolo ke ji I enjoy this. This
is my life. My husband doesn’t
have a problem with it.
RN
: You know the other thing is
that when you are completely fragmented and you are going through a lot of pain,
when you know you are having some relationship issues coming up there is a lot of pain that you have to deal with and a
woman’s defense-mechanism is that she hides behind a lot of work—- physical,
mental work so that she can hide away the emotional pain.
NN
: And if nothing else, start
cleaning out the clothes cupboards at midnight—- (laughter)
– It happens like this doesn’t it—-how many of you....?
(laughter)
RN
: Nalin you are very unfair!
NN
: They are all doing it. (laughter) If not at
midnight then they will start at 3
o’-clock in the morning.
RN
: I put them back Nalin.
(laughter)
NN
: Wohi
to—-removing and putting back, reorganizing, that’s what I’m saying.
You have to do something.
RN
: That’s the only time I
get, so when should I do it? It
wasn’t out of any other need. How
many here would volunteer to come and sort out my cupboard?
(laughter)
NN
: Its not ‘no other time’, not
at all.
RN
: It is—for me!
So work is a very, very strong strength that a woman has and specially
for you because you have been insecure. I
don’t think you should view it too critically what people are saying.
Just look at it as guidance which Reiki is sending you that the main
issue that you have to heal is your relationship with your in-laws.
NN
: And what you should say ki, mujhe to bahut mazaa aa raha hai, I am enjoying myself immensely
and am in bliss—so when you see this happening, you should be pleased as well!
(laughter)
RN
: “I am really happy.” So what you should do is to place your hands on your kidneys
and you should channel the DRL. Put
the whole house, put all the people and hear them saying what you expect them to
say happily.
NN
:
See them smiling even if their face
cracks.
(laughter)
RN
: See them smiling and
thinking-saying, ‘Oh! she is working so hard and is going to work and it is so
nice.’ You understand. So you have to heal it.
Take everything that comes in your life now as guidance—it needs
healing and is healable. Don’t
look at it as one big mountain I have to climb or I have to feel guilty about.
Ch
: I have gone through the same
stages once, everyone at home would grumble but I just refused to give way and
everybody has accepted it now.
Ch
: No, it’s not that I
‘gave way’, but you know I get...
Ch
: It’s just that I feel so
strongly about it and when you feel
so strongly about it , you can convince the world.
NN
: See there are certain things you
must do for yourself as an individual. Like
we get so many people on a daily basis...
RN
: I had a 74 year old lady come to see me one day…
Her husband had turned her out of the house after she was 74. She said,
“can you tell me what should I do with my life.” I said, “why don’t you
start living for yourself?”
She
said, “can you teach me how? Because
I don’t know how to live for myself.”
It
was like… even if she wanted to have a cup of tea, she would only have it if
somebody else in the house wanted to have a cup of tea. It was only incidental
that if the tea would be made and she would have it. If there was
somebody else going for a movie she would go.
She would never go because she
wanted to go.
NN
: She would wear what everybody else
liked her to wear and not what she liked. The
food would be cooked according to everybody else’s desire, nothing to do with
her desire.
RN
:
Whatever was left over she would have.
She would never eat first… putting it
on her plate...
NN
: So there’s an extreme.
RN
: This is a normal thing in a
lot of Indian families, that’s how women
live. So you are fighting against
that consciousness. You know that
consciousness is also vibrating all over India and that was expected out of lot
of women and that is the consciousness your mother in-law is coming from.
So, when she sees you like a rebel—going out, getting dressed, charging
out of the house and coming back late then you have to heal that part of her.
Ch
: You know, I had heard this
from people that things would—and I would become more aggressive after having
done Reiki but it is the other way round, people get very calm.
NN
: Say to her, “why don’t you do
Reiki and see” ?
Ch
: She is a Reiki I. She has done Reiki I from somewhere and I get very amazed
when she says that she doesn’t
knows what Reiki is—she has done it!
NN
: Then
you have a very simple answer—“mama darling, have you heard how you are
speaking. Apni shakal dekhi hai—have
you seen your face?”
(laughter)
RN
: That means, “mama there is
so much anger and so much aggression in you that you can recognise it in me
because I don’t recognise anything of that sort within.”
NN
: “I don’t see the
aggression. I am only loving you
but if you are shouting right now; are you seeing you are shouting?”
Ch
: …And another problem of
her’s is, whenever my husband and I argue, she has to speak and get into it
and she has to take sides… I just
fail to understand why she has to interfere.
He can be wrong and I can be wrong.
We can sort it out.
NN
:
‘Simple’ solution is that you move out…end it…? Simple.
Ch
: She has to say something.
Why can’t she just keep mum?
NN
: Aisa
karo ki jab aap ladte ho, ek to unke samne na lado, nahin to unko dabbe mein dal
do. (laughs) (Whenever
you argue don’t do it in front of her, otherwise put her in a box!)[1]
Put all the participants in a box. Put
the boxes around their ears that they hear only love and light, that only love
and light goes in and out—what is so difficult about that? Usmein kya hai? You are a Reiki Channel. You can easily convert them to your viewpoint.
What is the difficulty?
Ch
: I can endorse that again
because for many many years I went through exactly the same things and…
NN
: …And she is still smiling!
Unki zabaan par purple box dal do,
put purple boxes on their tongues if you don’t want to hear what they
say—There is no shortage of purple boxes!
You people don’t try it. You
people love a bit of spice in your life. Thoda
sa theekha hona chahiye, thoda sa bitter hona chahiye. There should be some
pungent chilly-spice and bitter taste….!
Ch
: No sir, I will speak for
her. We, at least at Reiki 1,
don’t realise the enormous power we have available.
It sinks in only after a while that
you can do this also, and that also and so on.
NN
:
Use this, put them in the purple boxes.
Ch
: But once you start getting the
results you will be more into it.
RN
: More confident.
NN
: Let us do it and see, if you
don’t even do it, what will happen?
RN
: You know she had all of
Panchsheel Colony’s electricity out because her husband had forgotten...
Ch
: My husband told the servant
to put the electric stove on and he put a pan of water on it to heat and then
forgot all about it. We told the
servant to take the rest of the evening off as we were going for a movie and
then when we reached the movie hall, my husband tells me there that the heater
is on at home with the water boiling on it.
I told him, ‘how can you do something like this?’
RN
: So you put everything in
purple box, and what else did you do?
Ch
: I just sent healing that my
house should be safe in my absence. I
didn’t say, ‘electricity—don’t come’. It was Reiki’s decision.
RN
: So Reiki’s decision was
this electricity has to be switched off, so switch off!
NN
: And just five minutes before they
reached home electricity came back. The pan still had plenty of water in it.
RN
: So… if something like that can
happen, you think your in-laws won’t give you a nice smile and a big hug and
say to you, “you look tired darling, would you like a nice cup of tea?”
NN
: You see? Be bold, ask for chai, ask for the hot water bottle. Why not?
Test it.
Ch
: (More details regarding
her in-laws behaviour towards her.)
NN
: You have heard of the first energy
principle – ‘energy follows thought, like attracts like’.
If you have not been saying anything to them, but saying all kinds of
things in your mind to them, then
also it will go there, it will reach them.
But
the thing is, you should put them in the DRL[2]
and then do it.
You should do these things in DRL. You
can even shoot somebody in it .
It will not have the negative kind of reaction that comes when you are
bubbling away with it inside, internally. So this is a very good kind of
feedback.
To
respect elders doesn’t mean that you have to keep quiet and swallow
everything. You are inviting
trouble when you are doing that. You
are sending out those vibrations. If
you mentally do these activities in the DRL—whatever you had been thinking,
the situation would be very different.
You
see, you must understand and appreciate that inside each of us there is a very
small (or a very big) part that doesn’t want things to get better.
There is some part of us where we do not want these negative things
actually to disappear. We do not want it to cleanse out. We like that
emotion ki isko to main gardan se hi marod
donga. Agli dafa aaye to main
chaped maarongi—that I shall wring his neck and next time he comes I’ll
slap his face! At least in your mind you would do this and feel outraged—‘how
dare they?’ I can’t let go
of that. It is natural. There is some part of me which enjoys this.
Lets face it. That’s why we are non-vegetarians. We like the taste of
blood. If it is not available then we chew on ourselves, our own blood… and
getting a taste this also happens. So that’s what we are doing… In this case
we are asking for some kind of trouble.
So
heal that part of yourself which wants to have this kind of confrontation and
then feel helpless… Why are you feeling helpless?
Ch
: I am not feeling helpless.
NN
: Yes darling, you are feeling
helpless. “Why did he have to say this?” you ask…What was your reaction to
what he said?
Ch
:
Nothing.
NN
: Silly, why are you helpless?
Spoiling your own mood—Apna hi khoon jala lo, burn up your blood.
Damage your liver with emotional indigestion—give birth to a gallstone,
develop a migraine. What is the use? They will say, “he never said anything at
all—see, that reaction is what she deserves and she is getting it!”. The
next time they will come back at you with two tons of pressure.
Right now it’s only one ton and then it will become two tons, so this
is part of that “poor me” self-pity thing coming up.
Heal
your Hara and liver at once, and the Solar Plexus. Then there is no “poor me”.
Ch
: Its an old saying that jaisa karoge waisa bharoge....
NN
: Yes that is because ‘as you do
so shall you receive’ is the same principle as- ‘like attracts like’.
As you are throwing to somebody he is throwing back to you.
As you feel for someone so will they feel or reciprocate.
This is a fact. But, the point is, if you do it in the DRL, it changes.
You
may hate the person in front of you, you may dislike him very intensely.
Put them in the DRL and tell them—‘I dislike you.
I don’t like what you said. It
hurts me. I get very upset. I
get very this, I get very that and I feel like slapping your face.’
Slap
their face in the DRL. Kindly
don’t do it in person. (laughter)
I have to keep reminding you because some of you are all ready to
physically do it... (laughter)
RN
:
Because you will go home and say, “40 Reiki 2’s gave me healing, now
I am going to fix them!”
NN
: So you do what you like in the DRL
by mental intention only. They will
get the message in a different way and you will heal something inside yourself.
Maine to ache achon ko uda diya hai,
I have finished off the best of them in the DRL—Demolished them all! (laughter)—
what is there? In the DRL you can do anything.
RN
:
Basically, the DRL is… when you are doing that shooting and all, what
is getting healed? The other person is—and you are healing yourself.
That part of yourself that wants to shoot or be violent, isn’t it?
NN
: Well , that’s how it is working
, even if you don’t know. That’s
exactly how. To
aap bhi usmein jo marzi karein. So you also do what you like in it. The
first result will be that whatever anger or upset you are feeling, that
instantly vanishes. On the other
hand when you are doing it without the
DRL, whatever emotion you generate and continue to generate by meditating on
something, that emotion grows. Our
anger, upset and resentment will grow. But if you do it in the DRL, I don’t
think you can last out more than a minute feeling upset and angry and you cool
down very fast.
I
have yet to come across anybody who can remain angry when they are doing this.
In the beginning stages— you are a Reiki 1 and you have lot of
anger—perhaps it will last for no longer than a couple of minutes, but then by
the end of 21 days certainly it will work very fast.
It is an instant healing of yourself and then you should ask yourself,
“why am I giving this person the power of attorney to
play with my internal state? What
am I doing?”
Somebody
says something, raises one eyebrow and tilts their nose up at me and I am laid
up in bed—oh, what is this? I
have given the whole world the power of attorney to make me ill—they just lift
one eyebrow and I fall down. Think
about it.
By
doing that do you think they will have better feelings towards you?
Have you seen a little puppy dog who gets kicked?
He come around again with his head down and gets another kick and then he
will come around again. So that is
the kind of behaviour people are thinking you are upto, if you do this.
So then it becomes a habit, they think ‘this person likes it—It is
for their benefit’. They will
convince themselves that they are doing all these nasty things because you
really need it. They are doing you
a service.
They
will say, “oh, many people are giving me Reiki healing …they keep
asking me if they can give me healing, and so where you are giving me
Reiki healing, I am doing you a favour by allowing you to actually heal me!”
See
what a great charity they are giving you, such a big favour!—kitna
bada ahsaan kar rahein hain aap pe.
(laughter)
You
have to be aware of this deranged mentality and without getting sucked into it,
heal it.
