Om Shanti,

Raja Yoga meditation encourages us to think about being energy in the centre of the forehead.

And we talk about this energy is called the soul.

And so we practice being conscious of that energy,

The soul.

So it's not that if you come to practice Raja Yoga you suddenly will be a soul.

Every human being is a soul in the centre of their forehead.

But we've forgotten and the reason we've forgotten is that we get caught up with our everyday lives,

Which become more and more complicated.

You say,

Oh,

It used to be like this and it used to be like that and I used to feel different.

I used to have energy,

I used to be enthusiastic.

And it's like things are changing out there and they're changing in here,

In the foreheads of every human being,

Every human being.

And when you're not aware that you're the energy of the soul,

You get very sad by the physical losses.

Like I used to have energy,

Where is it now?

I used to have a big family but they've all left.

I used to have a good job but I don't have it now.

I used to have quite a bit of money but I've spent most of it.

I used to be fit and healthy but I'm not so fit now.

And so because we look at the rules of the physical,

Which are changing dramatically all the time.

And if we don't know we're a soul,

We've nothing else to think of except sadness and loss and struggle to perhaps keep our dignity.

But that's just like paddling water.

Because unless I know that I'm the energy here and that energy is forever,

Forever eternally,

I'm always the energy.

Even when I forget I'm still the energy.

Except I forget that I am the energy and I think I'm the material things that are within my life.

And I could stay very happy if I thought I'm wealthy,

I'm still fresh,

I still have energy,

I've loads of friends,

I've got a big family,

I've got a big car and I'm doing fine,

I could still have that false happiness,

False.

Because tomorrow many of these factors could change and if I don't have a raft to hold on to while it's changing,

It will give me great sorrow,

Loss,

Sadness.

And I won't know what to do about it.

That's why people are going through a lot of trauma and depression,

Sadness.

They don't know what to do about it.

So today we're asking a question to ask yourself.

Do you have soul energy for your life?

Do you live your life knowing the energy of the soul is you?

And so once we know that we want to strengthen up this understanding of the soul energy.

Which is why it's good to do meditation,

Come to these classes where you get a touch of information.

We don't give you a lot of information because slowly,

Slowly if you want more information,

You can request more information.

But we don't just tell you,

You have to do this or that.

Because originally and actually always,

Even now,

Everyone is their own master,

Their own ruler to make their own decisions.

Whether they're body conscious ones of the physical world or spiritual ones,

We make our own decisions.

And no one can change that.

It's only the self that can change that.

So if I want to empower myself,

I need to think about the fact I am always the energy of the soul.

But I forget and I become surrounded by the physical.

And if the physical is big and bright and shining,

Then I feel quite happy.

But slowly,

Slowly it gets removed.

And then you start saying,

It used to be like this.

I once I was able to and once I was,

But now I'm not.

So we don't need to go down that track because inside here is a wonder.

We all want to get ahead in life.

And dream of things being easier or of having enough money,

Time,

Energy and work,

Friends and so on.

We all want that because we used to have that.

Although we've had all the things from the outside physical world,

The labour saving options galore,

We've had all these for decades.

I think when we first got a Hoover,

It was like,

Oh,

My goodness,

This is a breeze.

This is lovely.

And after a while,

You just feel you've hardly got the energy to move the Hoover.

It's like,

Oh,

Gosh,

I've got a Hoover.

Oh,

Goodness,

Get rid of carpets and let's just have a hard floor instead.

And so we've had all these for decades,

But many people still speak of being so tired.

No matter how many labourers say we can't be bothered plugging them in or finding out,

Actually,

It's quite hard to know how to work them nowadays.

You have to be a bit of a technician to figure out.

So what are you supposed to do here?

You can't just plug it in.

You go to do this,

That and the next thing or go online and get some old rules and regulations.

And it's like,

Oh,

And so at some point you would think,

I can't be bothered with that.

I'll just,

Oh,

If you've not got someone to support you and help you with that.

You're not going to go there.

You'll just say,

Oh,

I'll just do it myself.

So nowadays we're both energy conscious and energy depleted.

So we're depleted.

Even look back a few years to how you were,

Even you go to the gym and you're all fit and great and all the rest of it,

Maybe physically,

But maybe emotionally,

You're more fragile.

You don't have as much stamina inside.

I know how I could say I used to be doing this,

That and the next thing.

Well,

I must have run out of energy like everyone else,

But a lot of things I chose to move away from because they were a waste of my energy.

I chose to change and focus in a different way.

OK,

We've now become energy depleted.

So what has happened?

What has happened?

Is it all in the mind?

Times are changing and now is the time to pack up what is not necessary in our life.

So we've got a lot of things that are kind of trivial.

And once you start to really have a look at what's possible when you realise you are the energy,

You think.

I don't want to go there anymore.

I just so you make the choice.

You get the information and you make the choice.

Because it's been part of our nature.

You think about it to complicate everything.

It would drive you potty,

Actually,

Especially if you've stopped being having too many complications and you're mixing with people who pick everything you say and go and say,

Oh,

What about this and what about that?

And I don't want to go down.

I don't go down that track anymore.

You're burning up your energy on frivolity in a way.

You're losing your energy,

Your strength,

Your power,

And you're still looking at every complication that you can think of.

But what if?

What maybe?

Oh,

I don't know.

Oh,

I'm not sure.

The one thing you can be sure of is that you are the strong,

Powerful,

Radiant energy,

Soul conscious energy.

And if you choose to explore that and if you also choose to look at what is it that you feel has changed so much that it's making you sad and make choices as to I want to be enthusiastic.

I want to have enthusiasm to try new things.

I want to have enthusiasm to keep looking at who am I really?

Am I this energy,

This sparkling energy here?

Or am I too tired to move the Hoover?

I'm too tired to do this or that.

Have I become quite depressed because this has happened,

That has happened,

The next thing has happened?

I'm a bit sad when we are a bit sad.

Other people are not too happy with someone who's constantly sad.

So you might say you've lost your friends,

But maybe your friends just prefer to dance and you prefer to complain.

You've got to have a look at your own life,

The way you are and what you could restore if you choose to do so.

We've made everything so complicated and now we have to have a look at the wonder of simplicity,

Keeping things simple.

So if we can keep things more and more simple,

Then we can see clearly,

Then we can cope and then we can choose areas to upgrade,

Uplift,

Uplift.

This is uplifting ourselves,

Uplifting ourselves,

Uplifting ourselves.

And if we have extra of anything,

We have to make sure we use it in a worthwhile way.

We have to realise the importance of this time now,

The present time,

When it is the time to make decisions and have a look at our energy and choose.

How I want to use my time and what outcome I feel I could benefit from.

And do I want to benefit by being lifted up or do I want to just keep complaining and going down the way?

When you come to a class like this,

If something resonates about the fact that you are the soul,

Then something would touch that energy and against your conscious wish,

You would go home feeling uplifted.

And so if that's all you ever do,

You've still uplifted your energy and the uplift will remain.

It won't change,

But it'll be just a tiny boost in your energy.

If you want to constantly boost your energy,

You need to listen to these things and practise focusing on the energy of the soul in the centre of the forehead every day.

Not once a week,

Twice a week,

Three times a week,

Better than nothing but if you want to truly uplift your own self,

The decision is yours.

You have to practise meditation,

Raja Yoga meditation,

Focus on the soul every day.

And if you wish further information,

You can receive further information,

But it's your decision.

So in realising the importance of the present time,

We now have to stop the give and take of sadness,

Heaviness,

Tiredness and only give to others and give to the self happiness,

Lightness,

Feelings of freshness,

Feelings of purpose,

Feelings of self worth,

Self respect,

That I can do this,

I can do this.

This step calls for spiritual power,

So it's not going to be a magic wand.

You'd have to start to think about what you hear,

Look at yourself,

Make decisions and practise becoming peaceful.

Peace is your original power,

Calm,

Tranquil,

Steady,

Peaceful,

Light hearted.

You need to increase that power,

So this step would call for spiritual power.

Meditation and soul consciousness is a good practice to return to our inner contentment and allow us to maintain soul energy for life.

Whatever you create stays with you,

The wonder is in creating it.

It's not just let it in one ear and out the other.

Everything you think about,

It's affecting your thinking patterns and because it's to do with your original energy,

It will stay with you.

For us in the physical world,

Whatever you do is here and away,

Here and away,

Here and away.

And everything's losing its original strength.

So,

Yeah,

You can uplift your physical life as well by becoming more energised,

More able to smile,

More friendly,

More kindly,

More thoughtful,

All these things.

So this improves the way you interact with others,

This will improve your physical life and your spiritual life.

Om Shanti.

Om Shanti.

So after sharing and using our soul energy for speech,

Which takes a lot of energy,

Let's refocus by bringing our attention back to the centre of the forehead.

And rest our eyes on the centre of Sister Rose's forehead and share those moments of powerful,

Peaceful soul awareness.

Learning to live in soul consciousness can restore our energy for life.

If I get lost in the drama,

I lose energy.

Keeping myself seated in the centre of the forehead,

I maintain and grow soul energy.

It also impacts on your physical life.

And when I first started,

I really thought I was happy.

I wasn't undergoing all these loss factors because I hadn't reached that stage.

I felt so happy and so lucky and the people I knew and the life I had.

But for some reason,

This affected me when I found out I was a soul.

You have to be able to see the difference between the fact that it's this that's giving you the power and not that it's this person that's giving you a bigger wage or this person who likes you and has given you an upgrade.

That's all good as well.

It could be coming from your spiritual power,

But you have to see that it's the power inside that's attracting a higher form of energy to you.

OK?

I found that by doing meditation earlier in the morning and having a morning class as well early in the morning where I could pick up some things that I was going to practise.

That would keep me steadier,

Steadier to begin with.

I can't say I was massively steady.

On my computer,

I used a little shiny sparkly thing that no one would have wondered what that point was stuck in the middle of my computer at the top.

And I'd focus on that every now and again.

And reminded me I was the energy.

You'll have to just do what you can do and keep doing it for your own benefit,

But it will benefit others.

I'll essence it,

But many people won't have even gone there to where I'm going to essence it to.

But you will see that the world's full of different levels of people.

And if you could see now through the soul conscious vision that the level comes from.

The power they have as a soul,

Although they're not soul conscious and they could be big warriors that flatten countries.

But somehow they have the power to do that.

OK?

All have different characteristics and there's lots of millionaires,

Multimillionaires,

Billion billionaires,

People living in such wealth.

People who are adored by the world for their beauty and their artistic ways of whatever it is.

And so on and so forth.

People who are great surgeons,

People who are very high in religion.

They've all got a space.

They've all got a space.

And the space comes from whatever came to live their spiritual,

Their physical existence.

They would come fully charged.

Whereas a lot of people had lived their physical existence a long,

Long time before and had begun to lose their charge.

And that's when you lose your charge.

That you're very fortunate.

Recharge yourself.

Because the millionaires and the warmongers and the big people who are being adored for their beauty and everything,

It will never dawn on them to start to recharge their energy because they're having everything,

Everything,

Wherever they go.

They're famous.

They're wonderful.

They're beautiful.

They're nice.

They'll be kind,

Very religious minded,

Very powerful,

Lovely,

Loving.

So,

I mean,

You may not be able to find a fault apart from the warmongers,

But apart from that,

You think,

Well,

You could start to feel maybe defeated and a bit inferior because they're new souls.

They're what we call new souls.

America's full of new souls.

The world's got new souls everywhere.

And they have energy.

And be them right or wrong,

They will challenge,

They will feel,

You feel the power of different energies.

They will feel that you're lower.

And they will be insulting to you.

They will disregard you.

But if you know that,

You know that you are now in the process of restoring your energy.

They're still in the process of using up their energy,

If that makes sense.

They're using their energy.

They're having a great time.

They're doing what they're dancing,

They're singing,

They're spending money,

Whatever.

They've got everything in the world at their feet and they're using masses energy every day,

Every day.

And they're losing their energy.

And you who appear to be inferior are gaining your energy.

You're regaining yourself back to your original form,

Which would be very powerful,

Fresh energy.

Now,

Tell me if that makes sense to anybody.

Right?

Is it?

So that's in a nutshell why there's a difference and why you get challenged so much,

Because almost most people will still have a scrap energy left more than we had because we came at a certain time,

We came down and used our energy up like everyone else does until we reached a stage of Oh,

Oh.

And then that's when this touches you,

It touches your intellect to have to do something here and you start to focus on empowering yourself,

Re-empowering yourself again.

You'd have to really find out much more about the information.

That's as much as I can really give you,

As much as I think you can take.

I think the thing is,

Is to have such a strong desire to be who you are,

Who you really are,

And not having to keep making it look as if you're sitting in so much all the time and taking the blows.

You want to get your strength back,

Get your strength back.

And then you'll feel good about yourself.

You want your own character back to be who you are.

And if you find in your life that you're being dramatically bullied,

It doesn't mean you've got to bow to that.

Once you get some power,

You can actually say to the bully,

Don't you speak to me like that anymore.

I say,

Don't you dare.

You don't pay me enough money.

I'm not here to get,

I do my work well.

And that's just because you're in a bad mood.

You don't pick on me.

And funnily enough,

That person apologised to me in front of everybody.

OK,

So let's have a minute.
