 AWAKENING:

TANTRA – THE WAY OF THE HEART 

 
1-DAY SATSANG INTENSIVE

WITH SWAMI DHYAN GITEN

IN STOCKHOLM


Saturday, April 12,

10 am -18 pm

“It is astonishing to realize that growing up actually means to become one with Existence. It means to find the whole Existence within myself, it means to discover that Existence is alive in my own heart and being.

The song of a bird echoes my own inner voice, the beauty of a flower reflects my own inner beauty, a dog becomes an expression of my own unconditional love and friendship, the majestic mountains create an exstatic joy, and I discover all the shining stars of the sky within my own heart.

It is to realize that the whole Existence is alive, and that the underlying thread of consciousness is God.”

― Swami Dhyan Giten  

 
Awakening: Satsang Intensive med Swami Dhyan Giten is an invitation, which can bring light on your path to inner awakening. Giten helps us to see what stands in the way of being in contact with our authentic inner being.
 
It is an invitation to rediscover our authentic inner being, the inner silence and emptiness, the inner source of love and truth, the capacity to surrender to life.

This 1-day Satsang Intensive has been given the theme “Tantra – The Way of the Heart”, and during this Satsang-series we will explore Tantra and The Way of the Heart. The Way of the Heart is a spiritual path of love, trust, joy, silence and freedom, through which we can learn to love and accept ourselves as we are and develop our inner being, in order to discover the source of love deep within ourselves, which is our true nature.

Learning to say “yes” to life is to realize our inner potential for love, joy, trust, acceptance, understanding, humor, silence, truth, freedom, wisdom, creativity and oneness with life.

The Sacred Yes: Tantra -The Way of the Heart is to discover a deep acceptance for ourselves. It is to learn to love, respect and accept ourselves. It is to realize that we are already perfect as we are.

The Sacred Yes: Tantra – The Way of Life is to say yes to life. It means to celebrate yourself and each moment in life, whatever the truth of the moment is. It means to enjoy each moment. it means to celebrate each moment of life. It means to be thankful for each moment in life.

Deep within ourselves is the inner being, the authentic self, the inner “yes”-quality, the meditative quality within, the inner source of love and truth, the inner silence and emptiness, where we are already perfect as we are.  

This Satsang Intensive also works as a prolonged shaktipat (transmission of spiritual energy), which both creates immediate result – together with effect that becomes obvious during the coming weeks and months after the intensive.
 
When Giten pursued an advanced training in spiritual healing in USA 1984, he was told that he had the capacity to become a seventh chakra healer, a spiritual healer, to act as a catalyst and channel for spiritual energy from the seventh chakra through the heart. The last 30 years has meant to develop and deepen this capacity to an instrument of subtle catalytic effect, which Giten uses in this Satsang intensive.
 
All are welcome to this journey towards inner awakening. This Satsang Intensive is a gift to ourselves on our way to spiritual awakening.


“Hallelujah! The 1-day Satsang with Giten was

fantastic. Magic. I left the Satsang, so in love with life.

Happiness. I only feel love.”
 
- Lotta Hallin, participant in Giten’s Satsang Intensive on Tantra: The Way of the Heart,
February 15, in Stockholm  

 SWAMI DHYAN GITEN, spiritual teacher and author, has more than 30 years of experience in individual counseling and in teaching awareness and meditation. He is trained in both modern psychology and in classic Eastern methods for awareness and meditation.

In 1982, when Giten was 23 years old, he was directed by the Divine presence in a trance session with the American trance chancellor Lin David Martin: “You have listened to your intuition, to your true inner voice, more than most. You have been searching for the contact with the Spirit for a long time and now it is beginning to manifest on the outer plane. You have been gifted many times in previous embodiments and now everything will come rather easy for you. I want you to put your energy into the lives of others, because you can”.

A spiritual teacher, who have counselled thousands of people, told Giten in 1984: “You will dissolve into the silence. All the earlier enlightened Masters and all the small Deva’s are just here to help you to get enlightened.”

He is author of the best-selling book Meditationens Sång (Swedish edition,  www.adlibris.se ), The Silent Whisperings of the Heart, Presence – Working from within. The Psychology of Being and The Language of Silence: From Darkness to Light (available at Lulu.com).

“Tantra: The Way of the Heart is about discovering the inner being, our authentic self, the meditative quality within, the inner silence and emptiness, the capacity to surrender to life. It is to learn to love and accept yourself unconditionally. It is to realize that you are already perfect as you are.”

- Swami Dhyan Giten

 

During the spring 2014, the much appreciated Satsangs with Swami Dhyan Giten will continue during 10 Thursday evenings during March, April and May in Stockholm. Satsang is a meeting in love, truth and silence. Satsang is a love, a meditation and an energy transference. Satsang is a direct insight and experience of our inner being, of our authentic self.

This Satsang-series has been given the theme “Tantra – The Way of the Heart”, and during this Satsang-series we will explore Tantra and The Way of the Heart. The Way of the Heart is a spiritual path of love, trust, joy, silence and freedom, through which we can learn to love and accept ourselves as we are and develop our inner being, in order to discover the source of love deep within ourselves, which is our true nature.

Learning to say “yes” to life is to realize our inner potential for love, joy, trust, acceptance, understanding, humor, silence, truth, freedom, wisdom, creativity and oneness with life.

Deep within ourselves is the inner being, the authentic self, the inner “yes”-quality, the meditative quality within, the inner source of love and truth, the inner silence and emptiness, where we are already perfect as we are.

The lecture will be followed by 40 minutes of Satsang with Giten in silence and meditation, where a deep silence and oneness emerged in the group during the Satsangs during the autumn. It felt like a modern mystery school of love and truth was emerging, which made Giten’s heart dance with joy.

In between the evenings, practical exercises and meditations will also be recommended to develop your inner being. It is an opportunity to reinforce your intention to awakening, to enlightenment.

This Satsang-series also include an individual consultation with Giten for spiritual guidance. Sometimes psychological factors can hinder us from being in contact with our inner being, with our authentic self, so for them that wish further time and space to explore what stands in the way of being in contact with their inner being, there is also an opportunity to book additional consultations with Giten. This can also deepen the experience of Satsang.

All are welcome!

“Satsang with Giten was totally

wonderful!”

- Lotta Hallin, Stockholm

“In some moments, I realize what an incredible opportunity Satsang with Giten is, and in other moments I fall back to the unawareness and sleep of the mind. I had never dared to take the step to participate in Satsang with Giten if there was not such a love. Since I began to study for Giten, a new dimension of awareness has developed step by step, which has transformed my whole life.”

- Emanuel Sjogren, musician and student of Giten since 5 years 

“I could sit in Satsang with Giten on this sofa all night, but unfortunately I have to get up to work tomorrow – but I think that this silence will affect people.”

4. The Heart

 – Unconditional Love and Acceptance  

An excerpt from Giten’s book “Presence – Working from Within: The Psychology of Being” (available at international book store Lulu:  www.lulu.com/spotlight/Giten

The forth chakra or level of awareness is the human heart. The heart relates to unconditional love and acceptance both for others and ourselves. It relates to qualities of empathy, joy, acceptance, trust, intuition, understanding, compassion, playfulness, healing, friendship, sincerity and a feeling of unity in love.

The heart chakra is the center in a system of seven chakras. The heart is the golden bridge, where the physical and spiritual worlds meet.

The heart is the most important chakra. The heart is the base for spiritual growth. It is the seed for unconditional love, for the inner capacity to feel love for all and everything.

Love is the create aspect of life. Societies that only emphasize intellectual and academic education create spiritually challenged people.

The heart is the golden key to the greatness of being a human being. It is through the human heart that mankind has made the greatest achievements. The human heart is the only way to save mankind out of the present situation in the world.

Humanity as a whole is in-between the power chakra and the heart in its psychological and spiritual development process towards spiritual maturity.

The power chakra relates to the ego and the outer world. The power chakra relates to the inner man. The heart is the door to the inner world. The heart is the river between the inner and outer self, between the ego and the inner being, the authentic self. The heart is the door to the inner woman, the meditative quality within, the inner source of healing and wholeness.

The open heart is like a fountain, which no longer make any distinction between “I love you – I do not love you”. The open heart does not any longer make any distinction between friends and enemies. The open heart is open both for others and ourselves. The open heart is unconditional love.

When there is a genuine love between two people, there is a natural will to give, instead of demanding.

When our heart is closed, it can create a lonely and isolated feeling together with an attitude of: “Nobody loves me” or “Nobody cares about me, which can make it difficult for other people to love us.

Many people live without really being in contact with their own heart. They live without really being in contact with themselves. Their energy goes from the power chakra and makes a detour around the heart, and goes straight up to the Communication chakra.

During a period in my life, I felt that relationships with people just ended up in problems. I felt that relationships sooner or later ended up in a ditch. The two people in my life that I thought were my real friends, who I thought loved me and who I thought I could trust, had let me down. During this period I consciously decided to close my heart for a while. It surprised me when I realized that this is actually the way that many people live, without even being aware about what they are missing in their lives. This makes them emotionally and spiritually challenged. It leaves them without emphatic ability, without ability to understand either themselves or other people. It also leaves them without contact with their intuition, with their true inner voice, with their inner source of love, truth and wisdom. Instead they live their lives out of ideas, ideologies, and are directed from without themselves by other people and outer forces. Because of the lack of love in their lives, which would be really fulfilling, they seek a substitute instead in respect, status, fame, money, power and position.

The heart relates to developing abstract logical and rational thinking. The heart is also about developing empathy, the capacity to understand the situation of another person, and to see beyond our own needs and understand the needs of another person.

The level of awareness of a person also relates to how a person eats. On the level of awareness of the heart, a person becomes attracted to simple vegetarian food. This is also a help for the continued spiritual growth. It is like tuning our inner instrument.

Blocks in the heart chakra manifests itself as heart problems, a decreased immune system, and a lack of empathy and compassion.

Healing is pure love. The human heart is a healer, which heals both others and ourselves.

Working with people is basically a question of presence, awareness and energy. Chakras also relate to working with people and the fourth level of awareness relates to working with groups of people. To work with groups of people, the therapist needs to have achieved the level of awareness of the heart. The therapist needs to be available with a quality of presence and he artfulness to be able to work with a group of people in a relaxed way.

Intuition is a function of the heart. Intuition is our true inner voice, our constant available inner source of love, truth and wisdom, the silent voice of Existence within. Through the intuition, we are in contact with Existence. Our heart is the door to how much we can allow life to guide us, instead of being directed by our ideas, attitudes and learned concepts of how things should be.

The human heart has both an active and outgoing quality, and a receptive and ingoing quality. The outgoing quality of the heart is active love, and the ingoing quality of the heart is to allow both ourselves and others to love us.

A beautiful friend of mine once told me that she had a reading of her heart chakra, and that she was told that her heart chakra had the quality of a faithful and trusting dog. She was very cute when she told me this with a slightly ironical tone. She would probably have preferred to have a heart chakra with a more challenging, mysterious and adventurous quality.

Our heart is the door to allow Existence to guide us. Our heart is the door to surrender to life. Our heart is the door to our inner being, to the inner world. When we begin to open our heart, we realize that we are a part of life, a part of the Whole.

Above the heart, we need a teacher and a guide. It is somebody who “knows”, who has walked further on the path than us, and who can guide, encourage and inspire us. There is an Indian saying: “When the disciple is ready, the teacher appears”.

An over active heart chakra leads to:  

An overly critical attitude and a feeling of jealousy.

An under active heart chakra leads to:

A cold and distant attitude, a feeling of being unloved and uncared for, a lack of empathy and compassion, an inability to understand the needs of other people, a lack of contact with the intuition, with the true inner voice, with the inner source of love, truth and wisdom, a need for outer recognition and appreciation, emotional and economical insecurity, a mistrust towards life, a low self-confidence, self doubt and criticism towards others.

A balanced heart chakra leads to:

Love, empathy, compassion, acceptance, friendship, intuition, creativity, a humanistic view of life, generosity, healing, purity, trust, a sense of belongingness to life and a feeling of unity in love.

Intuition

- Trusting Your Self  

An excerpt from Giten’s book “Presence – Working from Within: The Psychology of Being” (available at international book store Lulu:  www.lulu.com/spotlight/Giten  

What is intuition? How can we develop a trust in ourselves, in our heart and in our intuition? How can we develop our intuition, so that it becomes a source of love, truth and wisdom in therapeutic work? How can we be in contact with the Whole through our intuition?

Intuition is our true inner voice, our constant available inner source of love, truth and wisdom, and the silent voice of Existence within ourselves. Through our intuition, we are in contact with the Whole.

Intuition is the voice of the heart. Intuition is our inner teacher and guide. Intuition means to learn to listen to the silent whisperings of our heart.

Intuition basically means to develop a trust in ourselves.

Intuition is a ‘yes’ to life. Intuition is to develop a trust in life. Intuition is learning to listen to life. Intuition is to be in contact with the Whole.

Intuition means to follow the whispers of the inner in a basic ‘yes’ to life. When we allow ourselves to follow the silent whisperings of intuition, the fragrance of love arises.

Intuition is a valuable tool in therapeutic and healing work. I have been working for more than 20 years with helping people develop a trust in themselves and in their intuition. The word ‘intuition’ means to know from within ourselves. Intuition means to learn to listen and to understand the Existential language. The Existential language is the language of silence. Learning to listen to the intuition mean to develop the subtle listening that is needed to hear the silent voice of our heart and being. Intuition is to be in contact with the Whole.

The basic vocabulary of the Existential language is an inner quality of love, joy, trust, silence, truth and wisdom. Intuition means to learn to be in contact with the inner source of love, truth and wisdom, which is already present within ourselves as a constant available source.

Through the five physical senses, sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch, we learn to know the outer world. Through the intuition, the sixth sense, we learn to know the inner world. The five physical senses are limited in time and space, while the intuition is not limited by distance and geography. The intuition has the capacity to see beyond time and space.

To see the world through the five physical senses is like seeing the waves on the periphery of the sea. To see the world with the eyes of intuition is like being in contact with the depth of the sea. Through the five physical senses, we see the part. Through the intuition, we are in contact with the Whole.

To see life from the perspective of intuition is to have vision. To see life from the perspective of intuition is to see life from the perspective of wholeness. It is to understand that life is basically one and that we are part of life. While the intellect can only see the details, intuition sees the whole. To see life from the perspective of intuition is like looking at life from the summit of the mountain, whereas seeing life only from the perspective of intellect is like looking at life from the foot of the mountain. Through learning to listen to our intuition, we learn to be in contact with the Whole.

Intuition is not about going out into the world, intuition is about inviting the world to you. It was a spiritual awakening for me when I realized that my intuition was not limited by distance and geography. I realized that my intuition was already in contact with the Whole and that it could guide me all over the world. I still remember vividly when my intuition first began to whisper that it was time to go to India when I was 21 years old. I did not understand why, but I trusted my intuition. I had already made plans to go to Ibiza to live high-life with a friend. But instead I called my friend and told him that I was not going to Ibiza, but that I was going to India. There was a long silence and then my friend said slowly and thoughtfully: ‘Well, then I suppose I have to go to India also…’

Intuition is basically a question of developing a trust in ourselves and to the silent voice of our heart and being. Through learning to trust our intuition, we can the sense of being lovingly and carefully guided in life. When we have developed a trust in our intuition, intuition is not just single impulses any longer. It becomes a constant available inner source of love, truth and wisdom. We can just close our eyes, go within ourselves, and always receive the right guidance.

When I had pursued an education in healing in USA 1984, I was interested to pursue a further education in spiritual counseling, but because of financial reasons I could not do it at that time. The same day that I thought about what to do about this, I suddenly remembered that I had previously booked an individual consultation with one of the counselor’s at the University. I brought up the question about the further education in spiritual counseling with him, but he did not understand why I wanted to pursue it and said: “You have much trust and silence to share”.

Our heart is the door to how much we can allow Existence to guide us. Our heart is the door to how much we can allow life to support us in our psychological development process towards spiritual maturity.

Intuition is basically a function of our heart. Our heart is the door to how much we can allow life to guide us – instead of being directed by our ideas, concepts and expectations of how things should be. Since the days of Aristotle’s we have been taught that logic is the only way to reach a solution, but while the logic works in a linear step-by-step-process, the intuition simply takes a quantum leap to a solution without any intermediate steps.

Intuition is about learning to listen to the silent whisperings of our heart. To listen to our heart is not always easy, but it is always true.

In an individual consultation, in a course or in a situation in life, when I do not know what to do, I turn my attention within and ask for guidance from my intuition, from Existence within myself. Sometimes the answer comes immediately and sometimes it takes longer before Existence is ready to respond. But I will always receive an answer. It is always a deep source of joy to allow Existence to guide me and to give me what I really need, instead of following my own ideas, ambitions and preconceived concepts. Sometimes I can ask my intuition a direct question, and then let go of the question, and allow Existence to give me an answer. Many times, I notice that it is when I let go – instead of struggling to make things happen – that they really happens by themselves in a more loving and creative way that I ever could have imagined.

Life is really very simple. In each moment, we have the opportunity to choose between saying “yes” or “no”, to listen to our intuition, to listen to our true inner voice, the Existential voice within ourselves. When we say “yes”, we have contact with Existence and we receive nourishment, love, joy, support and inspiration. When we say “no”, we create a separation from life and begin to create dreams and expectations of how it should be. We begin to live in the memories of the past and in the fantasies of the future – as if any other time than here and now really could make us happy and satisfied.

Intuition is to learn to live from our inner being, from our essence and authentic self, from the Existence within ourselves. Intuition is to learn to live our own truth. There are basically two kinds of people in the world: outer-directed people and inner-directed people. The outer-directed people are directed from without themselves and inner-directed people are directed from within themselves. Intuition is to learn to be directed from within ourselves, from our inner source of love, truth and wisdom, instead of being directed from outer forces and by other people’s ideas, opinions and expectations. Through learning to listen to the love and truth of our own heart and being, we always know what is the truth in a situation. Through learning to listen to the truth of our own heart, we can always see the situation in the healing light of love. Through learning to listen to the truth of our own being, we can always see the situation with the vision of the Whole.

Intuition is to take creative decisions. Through developing a deeper trust in our intuition, mechanical and habitual patterns, which was safe and comfortable, begins to change into conscious choices. Conscious choices are not always easy, but they are always true.

Intuition is a trust to the unknown. Intuition is an invitation to the unknown. Intuition is to open our heart to the unknown. Intuition is to change perspective from the safe and secure to a thirst for risks and adventure. Intuition is a “yes” to the unknown mystery of the moment.

Intuition is to follow the vision of the heart. Intuition is the art of the heart. Intuition is the art of the moment. Intuition is always in the moment, in the here and now. Our heart has no rules and expectations. Our heart lives in the here and now, in the moment.

Intuition is about learning to distinguish between the silent whisperings of our heart and the endless wishes, desires and expectations of the ego.

Intuition is about learning to follow our own inner guidance, instead of listening to outer forces and other people. It is when we realize that everything that we need for a loving, creative and satisfying life is already within ourselves that we begin to listen to the whisperings of the inner. Through developing a trust in our self, we do not as easily become a victim for outer forces.

Through developing a trust in our self and in our intuition, we also help our inner teachers to guide us. These inner teaches guides us through our intuition. Through listening to the intuition, it becomes very clear what will make us really satisfied.

Through trusting the intuition, to our true inner voice, to Existence within, life will give us everything that we really need.

Intuition is the art of the moment. Intuition is always in the moment, in the here and now. While the intellect swings all the time like the pendulum of a clock between the memories of the past and the dream and fantasies of the future, intuition is always in the moment, always in the here and now. The more we develop our inner being, our inner source of love and truth, the inner quality of being here and now, the more we have also access to our intuition.

Intuition is about moving out of our own way and our sense of “I”. It is about moving out of the way of our ideas about how things should be – and just be with what is. It is to be in the living reality of the moment.

In period of chaos, confusion and change, it can be difficult to hear the silent whisperings of intuition, because of the restless chaos of the mind. It is like the waves on the surface of our consciousness is rising high, so that it becomes difficult to come in contact with our inner being, with the depth of our consciousness. But in the midst of chaos, the center of our being exists like an inner source of silence, which is not touched by the chaos on the surface. In times of chaos, we can always return to this inner source of silence.

When I stand in a crossroad and have to make a major life choice, I usually ask my intuition which choice to make and then I leave the choice to my intuition, to my inner source of love, truth and wisdom, to Existence within myself, and allow three days for my intuition to become ripe with an answer.

The way to develop intuition is to learn to love, accept and respect ourselves.

We have all the same capacity to develop our intuition. Love and meditation are the two ways to develop our intuition.

A female meditator describes intuition as a form of openness and listening to life, which is trained step-by-step through meditation. She says: “To begin to listen and understand the messages that I get in life is one of the best aids that I have. It is like you begin to feel that there is something that is with you and that you can communicate with. You can send out the questions that you have in life and say: “How should I do now? J am thinking about doing this, but I do not know?”  And then an answer always comes. The answer may not come in the form of words, but it always comes a clear answer. I take these answers directly from life. If things happen easily, I trust that it is right. This listening is trained through meditation. This sensitivity also becomes more and more subtle and you begin to hear more sophisticated messages. In the beginning you do not listen so good and that is also the reason why people receive harder and harder blows to wake up.”

She continues to describe that this subtle listening is also a meditation in itself. She says: “When you begin to meditate, meditation is like a small island in your life. It is an isolated phenomenon in your life. But when the meditation starts to develop in your life, the sensitivity also becomes more developed.

The school has taught us to be skeptical, but it has not taught us how to trust. Intuition is basically means to develop a trust in our heart and in ourselves.

My own way has always been to trust my own intuition and myself. My intuition has always been my inner teacher and guide in life – long before I was even aware of the fact that I was actually listening to my intuition. I have always trusted my own heart, my own love, trust, intelligence, wisdom and creativity and it have always led me right. Even when it has meant to go another way than the flock, when it has meant to go against others and to put up creative boundaries against that which do not resonate with my own heart, with my own truth.

Intuition is learning to respond to the situation in the moment, instead of reacting from preconceived ideas, concepts and notions. It is when we let go of things that they really happen. It is when we let go of our ideas about how things should be, that we can allow our intuition to guide us. When an idea or a project has support in Existence, it grows by itself.

I remember when I stood alone in the heat in the busy and crowded bus station of the million-town Bombay in India. I was tired after having just landed in India after a 12-hour flight from Stockholm. I was about to try to find a bus and go to a small town, which was a 5-hour journey by bus. The problem was just that the signs of the buses were written only in Hindi. I asked a number of bus drivers, but they just gave me confusing and contradictory answers. Finally, I gave up and turned my attention within and asked by intuition to guide me to the right bus. There was many buses coming and leaving the bus station, but after some time my intuition gave me a nudge when a new bus came into the station. I boarded the bus and also asked both the bus driver and a couple of Indian woman sitting in the back of the bus if this was the right bus to the town that I wanted to go. The all agreed that this was the right bus, which increased the probability that my intuition was right. The bus slowly left the bus station and began its journey out into the gigantic and boundless country of India. The bus traveled for hours and I hoped that this would prove to be the right bus. Suddenly I saw a small sign by the road with the name of the small town that was my destination, which finally confirmed that my intuition had once again led me right.

Through following our own heart, we also help others to follow their own heart. Through following our own truth, we also help others to follow their own truth.

Intuition is the voice of our inner being. Intuition is the voice of Existence within ourselves. Through listening to the intuition, we are in contact with the Whole.

A result of following our intuition is a deep feeling of joy, a sense of meaning and an inner satisfaction.

To follow the silent voice of intuition is to surrender to Existence. Intuition is already in contact with Existence, with that which is larger than ourselves. When we live in contact with Existence, life becomes immensely satisfying.

Intuition is a trust that if we follow our heart, the Whole becomes enriched.

Intuition – Exercises

Exercise 1: From intellect to intuition

This is an exercise, which aims on learning to distinguish between intellect and intuition. Take as a continuous meditation to learn to distinguish between the intellect, between our ideas of how things should be, and intuition, our true inner voice, to learn to distinguish between the false and the real, between the true and the artificial.



Exercise 2: Learning to distinguish between listening to the intuition and to be directed by outer forces

This is an exercise that aims at learning to be aware when you allow yourselves to be directed by outer forces and when you allow yourself to listen to your intuition. Be continuously aware in different situations between when you allow yourself to be directed by other people’s ideas, opinions and expectations and when you allow yourself to be guided from within by listening to your own intuition, to your own true inner voice, to your own inner source of love, truth and wisdom, to Existence within yourself.

Exercise 3: To invite guidance

When you are in a cross road in life or in situations when you need guidance, take as a conscious exercise to ask you intuition a question and ask for guidance and clarity. The answer may not come directly, but you will always receive an answer.

Exercise 4: Make a painting of intuition

This meditation aims at painting a picture in color and form of your experience of intuition.

If you do this meditation together with a partner, you can discuss your painting with your partner.



Exercise 5: Listen to your heart

To continuously be in contact with your heart and with your intuition, you can ask the following four questions in different situations for example when you have to make a choice or when you are going to take a new step:

1. Will I love myself if I do this for example if I take this new step, if I chose this or if I say this.

2. Will I feel courageous?

3. Is it beautiful for me?

4. Can it be simplified in any way?

- Sex is sharing through the body, love is sharing through the heart.


- To share love, you need a celebration in your heart, you have to be happy, content and silent, so that you can share.


- In love you need to love the other person for sex


- Love is in the middle of sex and prayer.


- Love relates to the fourth chakra, the Heart 
 

1. Sex


 
- The first level Sex is the physical level. Sex exists between two bodies.


- Sex is a sharing through the body.


- Sex relates to to the second chakra, Sensations


- Religion is a bridge between sex and the the divine


- Sex is our basic energy , which is transformed and refined into love and prayer

- Swami Dhyan Giten

Giten ended that 1-day Satsang Intensive by saying that this day was a perfect introduction to Tantra: The Way of the Heart, and that participants could expect the healing process of the day to go deeper during the coming weeks and months.

A transcript of the lecture is enclosed below.


Both lectures was recorded live, and will be available for download and on CD. 



The lecture was followed by 10 minutes of silent Satsang.

3. Power

– Vitality, Strength, Self-respect

and Self-Sufficiency

The third chakra or level of awareness is called Power. It is placed in the area around the solar plexus. Power relates to psychological issues like power, strength, self-respect and self-sufficiency.

The third level of awareness is about developing a trust in our ego in order to be able to direct and control our life.

The power chakra is the center of the ego. It is about control, power and dominance over other people. A person who is on the level of awareness of power wants to change other people, but he does not want to change himself.

The power chakra is usually activated around 7-10 years of age. Children begin to become occupied with competition, achievement and to show their accomplishments around this age.

The power chakra also means to develop concrete logical and rational thinking, which primarily focus on one’s own needs, winning and self-sufficiency.

The power chakra relates to the outer world. It relates to the inner man, to the surface and periphery of our consciousness.

Ordinary relationships are often power relationships, which means a fight and struggle between my needs and the needs of the partner. Often the two partners in a power relationship has the same strength in order to learn to develop their power through struggle and fighting.

Strength and aloneness are also two sides of the same coin, two aspects of the same phenomenon, and fear of expressing our strength is often a fear of aloneness, of being abandoned, and of not being loved and accepted.

Acting aggressively has its roots in fear, judgments and insecurity. Violence and aggressiveness is about control and dominance over another person. To judge and to love is two sides of the same coin. Judgments about another person are really about ourselves. When we stop judging others and ourselves, our hearts opens. The heart is a healer that transforms fear to love, judgments to acceptance and separation to wholeness. The heart heals.

The society is created out of the ego, and the need of the ego to create a hierarchy of power, status, respect, position, norms, roles and conformity. Many people in the West lives in the power chakra, and is occupied with competing with others to prove that they are somebody important, and finding their place in the hierarchy.

During the 20th Century, the psychological development level of humanity has been on the awareness level of the power chakra. The focus of humanity has been on power, dominance, position, status, money and control over energy resources. We are technologically advanced and the technology governs the development of the society, but this technology is at the same time destroying the earth. Energy resources are also distinguishing issues in the power balance between countries.

Working with people is basically a question of presence, awareness and energy. Chakras also relate to working with people and the third level of awareness relates to working individually with people.

On the third level of awareness, a person begins to ask himself the question: “Who am I?” He comes to a point in his psychological development when his drama, defenses and self-sufficiency no longer works, and he begins to search for something more. But what? He may not know what he is really searching, but there is a feeling of dissatisfaction, a lack of meaning, and an inner need to be in contact with himself, with other people and with life, in a more true, meaningful and real way. This is what Indian mystics have called“The dark night of the soul”. It is when the endless desires of the ego and the rewards of the outer world are no longer satisfying. The outer world seems dark and empty, and when he turns within himself to the inner world, it is also dark and empty. This is the point in a person’s development when he realizes that real power is love and compassion.

Power and strength is like a sharp sword. It can be used either for destructive or creative purposes. It takes awareness to learn to use the strength in a loving and creative way.

An over active power chakra leads to:

A dominant and demanding attitude, a judgmental attitude, controlling, perfectionism, criticism, rigidity, stubbornness and a workaholic mentality.

An under active power chakra leads to:

Depression, a low self-confidence and self trust, indifference, apathy and hopelessness, confusion, an inability to take decisions, bad judgment, a need for outer recognition and appreciation, a feeling of isolation, a mentality of putting blame on other people, a victim mentality and a fear of failure.

 

A balanced power chakra leads to:

A respect for oneself and other people, competence, spontaneity, creativity, openness and expression, a trust in one’s own strength without need to show it unless needed, intelligence, self-confidence, flexibility and ability to make clear decisions.  

The Silent Revolution of the Heart

- The Challenge for the 21st Century

The challenge for the 21st century is The Silent Revolution of the Heart. It is not a revolution within an organization or a land in the traditional sense with violence, madness and blood shed. It is a revolution in human consciousness.

The Silent Revolution of the Heart is an inner revolution from fear to love, from darkness to light and from separation to wholeness.

In society today there exists a deep split between the inner and outer world, between intellect and intuition, between male and female qualities, between rest and activity and between outer knowledge and inner wisdom. There is a rapid technological development in the society, but we seem to forget the most important factor: our self.

Humanity as a whole is in-between power and the heart in its psychological and spiritual development process towards spiritual maturity. The next step for humanity as a whole is to realize that real power is love and compassion.

The power chakra is the centre of the ego, the separated sense of “I”. The power chakra is about control, power and dominance over other people. A person who is on the development level of the power chakra wants to change other people, but he does not want to change himself.

Ordinary relationships are often power relationships, which is a fight and struggle between the partners needs and mine. Often the partner in a power relationship has the same strength to develop the power chakra.

The society is created out of the ego, and the need of the ego to create a hierarchy with power, status, respect, position, norms, roles and conformity. Many people in the West live in the power chakra, and are occupied with competing with others, to prove that they are somebody important, and finding their place in the hierarchy.

During the 20th Century has the psychological development level of humanity been on the awareness level of the power chakra? The focus of humanity has been on power, dominance, position, money and control over energy resources. We are technologically developed and this technology governs the development of the society, but this technology is at the same time destroying the earth. Energy resources are also a distinguishing theme in the power balance between countries.

Acting aggressively has its roots in fear, judgments and insecurity. Violence and aggressiveness is about control and dominance over another person. To judge and to be loving is two sides of the same coin. Judgments about another person are really about yourself. When we stop judging others and ourselves, our hearts opens. The heart is a healer that transforms fear to love, judgments to acceptance and separation to wholeness. The heart heals.

The 21st century means an inner awakening. It means a time to grow up. Many people talk about spirituality meditation and inner development but it does not seem to change their lives. Our spiritual development depends on our commitment to our own development. We can use our free will to take on the challenge of life to grow or we can choose not to grow. This is the freedom that life gives us and it our own responsibility, but it seems that it is few people that accept life’s challenge to grow.

The 21st century represents a choice between the separation of ego and the vision of the heart. The silent revolution of the heart is a shift in human consciousness from the short-sighted perspective of the ego of “me” and “mine” to the focus of the heart on love and the needs of the other. It is a shift in consciousness from the short-sighted separation of the ego to the vision of the heart.

When we follow the way of the ego, the path of endless desires, it leads to struggle, conflict, exhaustion and separation from the Whole. The way of the heart is about learning to listen to our heart, to our inner source of love, joy, truth and wisdom. It is to be in a deep harmony with Existence.

When our heart is closed it creates an isolated and lonely feeling together with the attitude: “Nobody loves me”, “nobody cares about me” and “life is a struggle”, which makes us not see the love that is all around us.

A silent revolution of the heart happens when we start to care about another person, and it is a joy to put the needs of the other person before our own needs. It is on the awareness level of the heart that we begin to develop the sensitivity and awareness that makes us care about another person. The heart operates from the premises: I am responsible and only love works.

Satsang with Giten, February, 5, in Stockholm: Sex, Love and Prayer

SATSANG

with

Swami Dhyan Giten 

Wednesday, February, 5, in Stockholm
 
Sex, Love and Prayer


 
“Love is not an exclusive relationship with another

person; love is the quality that arises when we are in

contact with our inner being, with our authentic self,

with the meditative quality within, with the inner

silence and emptiness.
 
This inner emptiness is experienced by others and is

expressed on the outside as love. This love is not

addressed to a specific person; it is a presence and

quality that surrounds a person like a fragrance.”
 
- Swami Dhyan Giten 
 
 
Giten Lectures

Lotta Hallin, a participant in Satsang with Giten in Stockholm, wrote a mail to Giten a couple of days ago, saying that she felt a need to record Giten’s lectures during Satsang to be able to listen to them again. 



She writes: “Giten manages to deliver so much wisdom and interesting information in a short while during Satsang that I want to save everything, and put in a little shrine for further contemplation.”



In cooperation with Emanuel Sjogren, talented musician, composer and student of Giten since 5 years, Giten’s lecture during Satsang on February 5, was recorded. 



Giten’s lecture on The Way of the Heart: The Three Levels of Love – Sex, Love and Prayer will be available shortly in Swedish to be downloaded on Itunes. It will also be available on CD.



Giten’s lectures in English will also be available in the future.



In the meantime, you can read the written transcript from the lecture below.





The topic for the Satsang with Giten on February, 5, was The Way of the Heart: The Three Levels of Love – Sex, Love and Prayer, which relates to the second, fourth and seventh level of consciousness.

After the lecture, Giten invited questions and comments and one participant said that this lecture created an understanding of his whole spiritual journey up to now. He also said that it was very helpful to get these three levels presented in this clear way.



Another participant commented that he had started his spiritual journey on the third level, and then he proceeded to develop the other two levels.



A third participant said that she had been diagnosed with cancer, and that it brought up a lot of fear. She said that Giten’s lecture throw light on her situation as the cancer in her lungs is related to the heart, to love. Giten commented that psychological issues of love, of the flow of love in life, can be interrupted by fear, pain and judgements about oneself and others, and manifest in the body as imbalance and sickness. Giten also talked about fear, death and the deathless. He commented that death is one of the qualities that we meet in the depth of our inner being, and that the outer or inner meeting with death, create a situation to go deep into love, meditation and silence. He also said that the outer environment is now so toxic and full of poisons and chemicals that cancer cases will rise with 300 percent to 2050. He recommended her to take precaution in the form of exercise and clean food, which will give vitality to the body and strengthen the immune system. Giten also recommended her to do the 1-day Satsang Intensive on February, 15, which will focus on The Way of the Heart and the three levels of love. 


 
The lecture was followed by 30 minutes of silent Satsang, which created a deep silence.


“The silent Satsang yesterday felt strong. Almost immediately when we sat down in silent Satsang, I was filled with an energy so strong that it felt like I was surrounded by an almost physical energy field.

I almost felt like I was going to levitate, like the energy was so compact that I could not sit still on the floor. It was like the Satsang danced, it was living its own life. It felt ancient, powerful and beyond control.

And in the middle of everything, a loud and wild laughter grow, which I had to fight to keep back. It felt like I would never stop laughing if I began.

When Giten sounded the bell that the Satsang was over, I had to concentrate to come back in one piece, remind the body of the frame, remind the head of the room, of the here and now.

After a while, it worked, and the effect was that I felt happy, calm and full of love after Satsang.



Lotta Hallin, Stockholm

 
Giten ended the Satsang by informing about the 1-day Satsang Intensive on February, 15, and giving the participants a small gift in the form of a button with the Giten quote: “Silence is the door to God.”

Satsang with Swami Dhyan Giten, January 29, in Stockholm: Relationships, Sexuality and Meditation

SATSANG

with

Swami Dhyan Giten

January, 29, in Stockholm

RELATIONSHIPS, SEXUALITY AND MEDITATION

“Sex is the alpha and enlightenment is the omega.

Sex is the first step of the spiritual journey, and

enlightenment is the last step of the spiritual

journey.”


 

- Swami Dhyan Giten
 


“Sexuality is the door to love, and love is the door to

silence, to the divine.”
 

-Swami Dhyan Giten
 


“Our basic relationship to sex mirrors our whole

relationship to life.”
 

- Swami Dhyan Giten


 
The topic for the Satsang with Giten on January, 29, was relationships, sexuality and meditation. Giten began this Satsang by lecturing on Buddha’s sutra Silence is the Answer, where Buddha recommends the authentic seeker of love and truth to remain in your center, in your silence and to be aware if you are insulted by other people. 

Giten also introduced the second chakra, Sensations, which is the center for relationships, feelings, family, friends and sexuality. Giten also talked about the relationship between sexuality and meditation, and how to use our basic energy to grow in meditation. 


“I will take advantage of this opportunity for Satsang

with Giten.”

Lech Dulny, vice head of the School for the Arts in
Stockholm, which organizes courses in music, theatre,
dance, art, media and dramatic arts
 



A PHYSICAL PULL TO SATSANG
 
“I am sad that I missed the Satsang with Giten last Wednesday due to outer circumstances, but I felt that something was almost pulling me towards Satsang. It is strange. I have felt every time that something has pulled me to Satsang. I have felt it almost like a physical pull.”
 
Lotta Hallin, Stockholm 


 
 

Buddha: Silence is the Answer 

Buddha said: if an evil-doer, seeing you practice goodness, comes and maliciously insult you, you should patiently endure it and not feel angry with him for the evil-doer is insulting himself by trying to insult you. 

- When you grow spiritually, you will find that many people will get upset with you, because your spiritual growth, your presence, your love, your joy, your silence, create a guilt, a resistance, in them.

- A good man creates comparison in other people, which will hurt their ego.

- A Jesus must be crucified, because his his love, his presence, his light, hurt the ego. A Socrates must be poisoned, because his truth and authenticity creates a comparison. It mirrors others lies and unauthenticity.

- If you live with unconscious and unhealthy people, your consciousness and health are dangerous to them.

- People will come and insult you, because you hurt their ego, you hurt their lies.

- When people insult you, you should remain at your center, you should patiently endure the insult.

- You should remain in your center, in your silence, and be aware and watch the insult. You should not be disturbed by the insult. If you are disturbed, the insulting person has defeated you.

- You remain silent, collected and calm.

- Buddha says just keep quiet, endure it, remain patient and do not get angry with the person.

- Swami Dhyan Giten

 
 

2. Sensations

- Relationships, Feelings,

Family, Sexuality

and Satisfaction

The second chakra or level of awareness is called Sensations. It is placed three centimeters below the navel. Sensations is the center for feelings and relates to social needs, sensuality, sexuality, satisfaction and melting together with another person. It relates to feelings of anger, fear, sorrow and sympathy.

Sensations also relates to the ability to feel sympathy and being emotionally connected with other people.

The second level of awareness is about psychological issues in relation to other people, for example parents, family and friends. It relates to liberating oneself from parents in order to grow up to an integrated, independent and whole individual.

Sensations start to develop from 3 to 7 years of age.

The second level of awareness is focused on the needs of the individual, which primarily are governed by emotions.

The second level of awareness also relates to the relation between food, sex and emotional issues.

People who have been let down by other people often have problems trusting others. This creates a defensive attitude and keeping people at a distance, which relates to the second level of awareness.

An over active second chakra leads to:

Selfishness, an over ambitious and competitive attitude, explosiveness, aggressiveness, manipulation, an emotional attitude, vulgarity and an excessive sense of pride.

An under active second chakra leads to:

Impotence and frigidity, emotional problems and conflicts, a lack of emotional contact with other people, a lack of understanding other people emphatically, sexual inhibition and guilt, shyness, over sensitivity, hidden shameful feelings, suspicion towards others and an introvert disposition.

A balanced second chakra leads to:

A genuine caring for others, a capacity to intuitively and emotionally understand other people, a capacity to feel sympathy for other people, kindness, passion, sexual self-confidence and satisfaction, vitality and well being.

After the lecture, Giten invited questions and comments, and one female participant said that the work with the chakra system had started a deep healing in her.Another participant said that he had recently returned from India after 3 months, and that he really wanted to use this opportunity for Satsang with Giten.

He also said that he had closed off many relationships during the last period, but that now he wanted to to rediscover his inner being, to return to joy, meditation and silence, in his life again, which he felt that he had forgotten.

Giten commented that the inner joy and silence is always available within. It is only a question of rediscovering the inner joy and silence. Giten also said that relationships is a question of inviting people into your life from your inner being, rather than closing people off because of ideas and judgements. Giten also said that relationships is both about becoming clear about what I want in relationships, and about being clear about what I do not want in relationships.

The lecture was followed by 25 minutes of silent Satsang with Giten, which created a deep joy and silence.
