Today she woke up at 4:37 AM and surprisingly did not feel lazy<br />
about getting out of the bed so early on weekend. Last night she watched<br />
Sai Baba's Guru Poornima video tape and this morning she remembered<br />
how he did not want us to just do the rituals instead make sincere effort<br />
to understand the truth about ourselves i.e. the Atman. So, for the first<br />
time she did not even turn on the lights of the mandir and sat down for<br />
the meditation. Soon after she closed her eyes she started seeing the<br />
usual blue light, in the center of this blue light there appeared a faint<br />
white light formation which soon took the shape of a man (very similar<br />
to Shirdi Baba's standing pose picture in our mandir). At the same time<br />
she heard Baba say "many times you have doubted that the light you see<br />
upon eye closing could be due to the light in the mandir, today your<br />
mandir lights are not on, and you still can see. Shivangini, try to see<br />
closely, as you get closer and closer to me you will see your chosen form<br />
clearer and clearer, but remember that I don't have any form." For some<br />
reason she felt happy. She asked how to look at Him more closely and he<br />
guided; during meditations spend some time on concentrating on each of<br />
the seven chakra's one by one and use the technique previously taught<br />
(clock wise, very slow rotation of the round wheel around each chakra).<br />
After this step use the technique that you once heard (reference was to<br />
the guy who used to own Hard Rock cafe chains and in one of annual Sai<br />
Center retreats in Chicago he referred to this technique which <strong>Dolly</strong> saw<br />
on a video tape that her friend M gave her). That technique was to<br />
imagine yourself as a stem of tree, with every inhale pull up energy from<br />
the Sun through its branches then alter this with the second inhale where<br />
stem is to pull the energy from the soil at bottom through its roots. Then<br />
pull energy from top and bottom and try to bring it together in the middle<br />
of the stem. Baba said "both of these techniques will help loosen the<br />
knots in the chakra. But don't make this a measure of your progress."<br />
Rest of the meditation was continued with a vision of still light screens<br />
.... one time yellowish white, one time deep blue and one time greenish<br />
white light. Regardless of the color it was very peaceful and calm<br />
feeling.<br />
