Teri,

It is hard to know why your meditation has ceased to be “a dream” and has become distracted by energies at the head and jaw.

But the solution might be as simple as this: put your attention to your Sahasrara at the top of the head, don’t think, don’t worry, become.

The original dream-like meditations that you experienced for 18 months did not come about through your own efforts. That state will return by desiring it, but not by doing.

If anything, perhaps not doing some things might help. Look at your present life and see how it is different from your life during the good meditation period. Are you mixing the medicines? Is there a practice or a habit (good or bad) that you are doing now which might be interfering with your meditation? Smoking or drinking are obvious drags on our spiritual ascent, but so can be other things which might at first seem to be good. Another type of meditation, a ritual practice or “false knowledge” fall into that category, but so does anything done in excess or extreme.

This Sahaja Yoga is about balance. And the events of this world are always trying to throw us out of balance. The buffeting can become so constant that it appears normal.

Who knows what the answer is? But chances are, you do.

Drop everything. Go back to what you know to be true. And start over. And you are there.

Hi,
I have been meditated for the last three years,
the first year and half was amazing it is
like a dream, until I get start distracting by the energy that I have on my head and jaw, the moment I start meditating I start feeling heaviness on my head and jaw, I have researched to many webs and read books I still would not be able to get answer, how to release the energy, some says it is negative energy or energy cognition. Now I am with my dream one day…. What do you think it is, ego? do you think Sahaja Yoga would help me?

ego is nothing but recognizing the self as a individual identity. self cannot be said to be existing or non existing, pervasive or non pervasive, ego or egoless. for the sun their is nothing called shine or no shine, sun rise or sun fall, brightness or darkness.

I definitely recommend “Shoebeating” which I think is the most effective and easiest way to take down the Ego. It worked for me. You should try this technique regularly in order to achieve fast results. Ego is the problem of modern times and many of us are not aware of it until we start Sahaja Yoga.

The main point is – do not fight with your Ego nor react to it. Just laugh at it if you can. Ego will always be there, but only after you humble down yourself, it will serve to your Self(Spirit).

Hope these will help you.
Best wishes

I’ve only been practicing for a short while, (12months) I never would of thought I had a problem with ego until I started with Sahaj. Reading this I still find if hard to know how to squash all ego, any more ideas for me.

This is a very good explanation of ego and super ego – thank you. Even practicing Sahaj meditation I struggle with my ego, but at least I can see it for what it is.

Very high level of knowledge (gyan). It will be hard to understand for ordinary person but for any one in SAHAJA YOGA it is easy to understand.there is no other place in the world to find this kind of information accept here.I am very lucky to be in SAHAJ.
