Dear Friends,
Greetings and welcome to the November 2015 edition of the Mastery of Meditation and Yoga newsletter.
Quote of the Month:
It's difficult to go past Eckhart Tolle when looking for a quote on spiritual matters. His book The Power of Now is timeless - pun intended! Plus his follow-up book The New Earth was just as powerful.
If you haven't yet read them - get on it!
"The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it." ~ Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose
In this edition of our newsletter you will find an in-depth look at Kundalini Eagle Pose, which is different from the Hatha-style Eagle pose you may be familiar with.
I've also included five popular articles that dive in deep to enlightenment - do you need a teacher, do ordinary people wake up, what is enlightenment really?
This Edition Features :
- What is Intelligence Video?
- Instructions for Kundalini Eagle Pose
- Top 5 Enlightenment Articles
Much Love,
Anmol

New Video - What is Intelligence?

Continuing with the new meditation video series on Mastery of Meditation, this next video delves into what truly is intelligence and what is the highest form of intelligence. As we continue to explore the depths of meditation and a meditative life, we start to understand ourselves and our purpose in life more deeply. We also find that this journey can demand from us our very best and in time come to realize
the true meaning and purpose of many of our human characteristics and potentials.
One such great potential we have is intelligence and as we walk this path we come to understand the real meaning and use of intelligence.
This video will discuss this very interesting topic and hopefully give you a clear and perhaps new way to look at what makes humans so special. The power of intelligence.
Other articles that look deeply into intelligence and how to use and sharpen it are…

2. Begin Breath of Fire Breathing Exercise. Continue for 1 - 11 minutes
- To practice this breathing exercise sit up in a comfortable position.
- Elongate your spine upwards, lengthen your neck and subtly bring your chin back and in like a soldier at attention. This will align the spine with the back of your head.
- Close your eyes.
- Rest your hands in any comfortable position.
- Relax your stomach muscles.
- Now begin to breathe rapidly through the nose with equal emphasis on the inhalation and exhalation. It will be like very fast sniffing.
- Keep the breath shallow, just at the tip of the nose.
- Proceed at a comfortable pace and establish a steady rhythm.
- Pay no special attention to the chest or diaphragm other that staying relaxed.
- You will find the stomach pulses on its own in rhythm to the breath.

- Protects you from unseen forces (negative thoughts, viruses, bad vibrations etc.)
4. Practice Tips for Kundalini Yoga Eagle Pose:
- As you become more proficient in Eagle Pose, try not to give up on the first sign of discomfort. If you see through these first points of resistance, the exercise will get easier as your energetic pathways open up.
- Ride Breath of Fire to help you get through the shoulder pain.
- The Breath of Fire will also help with charging your magnetic field and building your aura.
- Take a break though from Breath of Fire if you start to feel uncomfortable.

http://anmolmehta.com/blog/2007/11/15/for-spiritual-enlightenment-how-can-another-help-you/
On the path to spiritual enlightenment what can another person do to assist you? Is there anything of value that they can provide to help you attain enlightenment? This article goes into these important questions regarding the role of teachers and gurus in your spiritual evolution.
http://anmolmehta.com/blog/2010/12/10/true-inspirational-stories-of-god-realization/
One of the great blessings and privileges of running a large spiritual blog is that I get to befriend some truly remarkable people, whose experiences and life stories are not just astonishing, but also incredibly inspiring and enlightening. With their permission I am honored to share with you the great insights they have acquired and I hope you are as
equally encouraged by these testimonials as I am.
http://anmolmehta.com/blog/2007/05/04/how-to-find-your-true-guru/
How to find your True Guru? How to meet him? Who is he or she? Perhaps the story below about our spiritual friend, Yogi Ponchie, will help answer some of these important questions.
Yogi Ponchie was eager to become a great, enlightened Yoga Master, but the only problem was that he was one laaaaaazy bugger. He was so lazy that once he almost forgot to inhale and soon after, he almost didn't bother to
exhale. Now, Ponchie tried everything to establish a good daily meditation and yoga practice... well at least mentally he did. He planned it out in his mind to perfection.
His meticulous plan was indeed a masterpiece. It was designed to perfectly squeeze out every drop of time from the day and maximize his daily sadhana (spiritual work). Only problem, of course, was that he hardly did anything to
implement it. So Ponchie was in a fix.

A Zen Meditation Story: "The excitement on the astral planes was unbelievable. The great Demi-god (Deva) explorer, Nebb Yaw, who had been exploring the distant planes in the outer regions had discovered the legendary Magical
Gate to the Best School for Enlightenment. This magical gate had been the most sought after artifact on the astral planes for eons. Innumerable demi-god explorers had sought to find it, without any success..."

ABBA's super hit song about the ageless and most dear human Mantra, Money Money Money. Of all the Mantras in existence, this is certainly the one that is most chanted. Everybody seems to chant this Mantra, the question here is should one seeking Enlightenment also chant Money Money Money? What does the dollar buy in the marketplace of
spirituality? Does it have any value? The answer is... revealed by the story in this article...
