Developing 6th Sense: Part 2- Taste

Our last post was about enhancing your olfactory function to help set your ground in developing 6Th Sense.

With this post let us move on to the development of 2ND Sensory perception Taste.

One eight of our life is spent in eating while awake.

*****Hahaha. Who eats while sleeping.***** Joking.

Yes, so out of the most aware moments of our life much is spent in cooking and eating. After all, that's what the life revolves around. Eat to live or live to eat. Depending on one's own point of view.

Yup, so.... It is essential to eat. Or else we die. Right???

Hmm, that's right but...

Oh God! Why does this but comes everywhere???

... But we hardly taste what we Eat or Drink.

Oh! So is that what it is about???

Yes, of course, Taste. Taste what you eat or Drink. How will the Sense of taste be fulfilled if you are eating like a machine, unconsciously, unaware of what taste the food brings to you???

So let us develop the sense of taste.

• Be aware of what you are eating.
• Feel the texture of the food in your mouth.
• Be aware of the taste on your tongue.
• Be conscious of the taste of ingredients in the food.
• How is the taste when it your mouth is empty?
• Chew the food thoroughly and be present to the taste with every chew. Every time your teeth grinds the food and drinks the taste changes. Allow yourself to feel the pleasure of taste of each item.
• Feel the taste coming in your mouth even before you eat the food.
• Make a list of all the things you taste in the cooked food.
• Ask for the recipe and match your list with the ingredients.

When you have perfected the taste for at least few days, request someone to help you out with this advance exercise.

• Blindfold yourself.
• Ask your friend or spouse to feed you 7-8 different things, raw and cooked both. Taste it and tell them what all you taste.
• Open your eyes and identify all that you tasted and answered correctly.

More advance Exercise:

• Combine the Olfactory and taste functions. Make a list and identify.

Enjoy!

Do it for at least a week to a month.
Note down the results.

Enhancing 6th Sense- Part 1: Smell

We all are aware of our 5 senses but we hardly take notice of them. There comes a time when one starts to read and wonder about the Sixth sense, the seventh sense, eight sense and so on...
So he/she starts the practice for developing their Sixth , seventh, eight senses, without realizing the potential and importance of the awareness of 'The 5 senses'.

To be able to develop one's higher sensory perceptions, one needs to do some groundwork.

This groundwork is to become aware of your Five senses which are:

• Smell
• Hear
• Taste
• See
• Touch

Let us start with the smell. Here is the small exercise to be increase our Olfactory functions:

• Become aware of all that you can smell. They very act of smelling. Immerse in the olfactory sense.
• Note down the list of all that you can smell.
• Do this exercise starting from 5 minutes and increasing it comfortably for atleast 1/2 hour.
• Feel the smell where you are
• Feel you body odour
• Smell the fragrance of the garden, the alley you walk, the vehicle you travel.
• Become aware of the smell in your office, home, kitchen.
• Be aware of the smell of earth, air, mountains, water, damp soil just after it has rained.
• Before having the food, notice the smell of the ripe cheese, strawberries, bread and other food kept on the table, in front of you.
• Be aware of the the smell of different type of clothes.
• After few more days play this game of keeping various things in front of you, blindfold yourself and smell those things without touching them. Identify how many things you were able to smell correctly.

Do it everyday for some days , maybe a week to a month. You will realize that your olfactory powers have increased tremendously.

Miracles of Oneness

Wow!
Miracles happen everyday, everywhere.

I met this young woman in Art of Living Course with whom I had only indirect communication. It means that we just exchanged few voice recordings.

And it all happened when I was giving Reiki to all the people in the room, sending loving thoughts and energies, feeling of oneness...

Suddenly, this girl turns and calls out my name.
I am zapped.

Who knows me here????

And then she tells her name.' Smita.'

And there we go, smiling, feeling love, synchronicity.

Thoughts of working together....
And there we hit.
Wow! Just when I intended on earning my living by being a Spiritual teacher....
This is the Power of Laya Yoga, Synchronicity....

Wah, wah, Wah!!!

The Third Eye

Third Eye: The Sixth Chakra

Location: Between the eyebrows

Color: Indigo

Purpose: Intuition, Guidance, Perception, Connection to the Higher Planes, Spiritual Knowledge, Siddhis

Sound: OM
Pronounced as: UUM

Also Known as: Ajna Chakra, Aagya Chakra, Lotus Chakra, Shiv Netra

Tattva: Differentiating Faculty

It has 64 rays relating to the region of mind, ether (Aakasha, akasa). The six senses gets activated including the mind and penetrate all the corners of the world like rays. It gets activated by Dhyana (Meditation).

Symbolized by: The sacred 2 Petal Lotus.
The 2 petalled lotus is symbolic of the 2 brains (Left and the right brain) working in harmony, in the 2 worlds (manifest and the unmanifest). It also symbolizes the union of the IDA and Pingala Nadis and the Pituitary and Pineal Glands.
These 2 petals are shown as White.

Deity at this chakra: Siva, Shambhu


Third Eye is the Psychic center. It is the bridge between you and the Spiritual world. It is the center which helps in the manifestation of Siddhis when activated and used correctly.

Once you reach this center, you are liberated from the vasanas or the worldly things like, food, sex, power, success etc. It is the point of no return as the Union of God and Goddess (Shakti and Shiva) is reached. Once this state is reached one becomes neutral to all the emotions. They won't feel sad or happy, depressed or uplifted... They will be in the middle state. The state of complete bliss.

One's fear of death is removed as they know the ever-present existence of themselves which is not separate from anyone else. One has the choice of leaving the body at will. One become free to choose his/her own destiny. They can choose to help people by staying in the body or to be anonymous and reach full liberation themselves.

One becomes open to all the knowledge in the universe. One can feel the enhancement of communication, intuitive perception and awareness. One become the Master of Self as the opening of Third Eye is the level of Self Mastery.
