Understanding Health and Karma
I always remind people to take care of their health because all the money in the world is meaningless without good health.

Health is the most important gift that you one can have in life. If you lose health, you lose everything. Life becomes miserable. A healthy body and mind make life enjoyable. To maintain physical health, you should not abuse the body with wrong food. To maintain mental health, you should not abuse the mind with negative thoughts. Negativity is the direct cause for disharmony-crime, enemies, debts, ligitation. There are spiritual laws underlying debt, enemies, ill health, etc.

What is ill health? It is dis-ease. It challenges the natural equilibrium of life. Basically, health is a matter of your own attitude. It is a reflection of your consciousness. Disease is caused by a certain negative attitude. If you can disperse the negative attitude, then disease will disappear. Everything starts in an invisible way and becomes visible. If you can get into the invisible sphere where you have created the disease and release that attitude then you have made a solid foundation to heal yourself.

Part of the problem is the human collective consciousness itself. Human collective consciousness is full of negativity. We fill our minds with much negative feedback. We talk about psychosomatic illness. No one talks about psychosomatic wellness. It works on the same principle. Our focus has been on negativity. We have collectively committed ourselves to this process. We have not collectively committed to positivity. Once we do that, not only will we solve our own problems, but the problems of the planet.

Connecting Health and the Planets The planets have a strong effect on you. In order to get healthy, you should go deep into your own consciousness and understand the process of reversing a chain of events that has manifested as a disease. Anyone who suffers from a chronic illness has, as a counterpart to the outward disease, a deep emotional problem. Unless you address that problem, you will not find a permanent solution no matter what medicine you take. It is important that you delve deep into your own consciousness and find the answers.

Lord Muruga is an aspect of the Divine usually depicted as having a youthful appearance and tremendous vitality. His mantra helps raise the vibration of the body by making the body more conscious. You can do this mantra into specific body parts to raise their vibration. Muruga's mantra is a good place to start for toning up health and improving strength.

Purifying Your Body and Mind People strongly interested in purifying themselves may wish to experiment with the ancient practice of taking three showers per day. This practice dramatically increases the vibration of the physical body. The showers do not have to be long showers. Some of them can be quick rinses. Or if you have a pool or live near a lake or the ocean, take a quick dip in the water.

The Siddhas taught that water is a great purifier and does wonderful things to clean your aura. For this reason you should always shower or at least wash your face and hands before any meditation session.

Another ancient practice for immortality and purification is to keep five candles burning when you go to sleep. The Siddhas taught that if is there is enough light, there won't be any disease. You must use common sense if you try this technique. Have smoke alarms and good ventilation and so forth, and only use candles that have lead-free wicks and are safe. Some people have found candles that can burn all night safely, the kind some churches use in their sanctuaries. If you cannot do five, that is okay. Do what you can. Even one candle burning at night is purifying. But again, only do this technique if you can do it safely. People with pets or small children might not be able to do this safely.

Everyone can work on the practice of becoming more vigilant to think thoughts that do no harm. Use an hourly beeping watch to check your thought process. If you detect that the mind is indulging in hatred, change the thought.

Keep consciousness around food and eat foods that do not harm you. Each person's body is different.

The positive quality to focus on to break up problematic energies is service to others. If you do service with a pure heart, it comes back to you multiplied a thousand-fold. You are capable of doing more than you think to help others, and this generates positive energy.

Please use Muruga's mantra, SA RA VA NA BA VA YA, effectively. Hold in your awareness an area of the body or health issue you wish to heal and put the mantra into it.
