What’s Actually Moving Inside Us?

We often look outward for answers — through astrology, fortune-telling, or predictions — asking, “What will happen to me?” Yet the deeper inquiry is not about the future, but about the present: “What is happening inside me right now?” This shift from prediction to presence is the true beginning of spiritual awareness.

Prediction vs. Presence: Traditional astrology or external fortune-telling can sometimes become a crutch, making us dependent on external verdicts. But spiritual tools — like OSHO Astrology — are not meant to fix us into labels. They are mirrors, reflecting our current inner climate. The stars may show tendencies, but the real movement is within us, in the subtle dance of energies and emotions.

The Mirror Metaphor: Imagine holding a mirror to your inner world. What you see is not a final judgment, but a reflection of your present state. Just as the sky changes from dawn to dusk, your inner climate shifts moment to moment. The mirror shows contradictions: longing for closeness one instant, craving distance the next. This cycle of tugs is not a flaw — it is the human experience unfolding.

Deconstructing the Internal Movement: Inside us, there is a constant push and pull:

·        Fluctuating emotional needs: The desire for intimacy collides with the need for solitude.

·        Masculine and feminine energies: Action and structure meet intuition and receptivity.

·        Old conditioning: Past patterns rub against present awareness, creating friction.

We often watch ourselves repeat the same loops, even when a part of us already knows where they lead. The act of noticing is the first step toward transformation.

Consciousness vs. Acceptance: When we shine the light of awareness on unconscious habits, many dissolve naturally. Awareness is like sunlight — it melts away shadows without force. Yet some deep-seated patterns cannot be rushed. They require patience, compassion, and radical self-acceptance. True change comes not from fighting ourselves, but from embracing our nature with understanding.

Practical Soul-Work: To navigate this inner movement:

·        Distinguish the essential: Separate passing moods and external drama from the silent observer within.

·        Shift from theory to experience: Spirituality is not memorizing concepts; it is living awareness.

·        Reflection prompt: Close your eyes, take a breath, and ask: “In this exact moment, without judging it… what is actually moving inside me?”

The Path with a Master: Meditation under the guidance of a Himalayan Master like Swami Shivkrupanandji helps us observe these inner shifts with clarity. In collective meditation, we learn to witness the dance of energies without resistance, slowly transforming friction into freedom. The Master’s presence becomes the mirror that reflects our inner journey, guiding us toward balance and joy.

The Seven Bodies

Image
  The Seven Bodies Swamiji in his discourses has spoken about the awakening of the Kundalini and the seven bodies in brief in his discourses. Here we will try and examine what these bodies are. The first body is the Physical Body – this body is also known as the Sthul sharir – we are all aware of the physical body and most of us do not progress beyond this level in our spiritual journey. This develops in the first seven years after birth. The progress starts once a living Guru plants the seed of self-realisation within you. In the next seven years from ages 7 to 14 one develops the second subtle body which is the Etheric Body or the bhava sharir. Here, the emotional development and maturity takes place. Sexual maturity which is the most wanton of emotions is developed by the age of fourteen. Some people’s growth stops here and they cannot progress beyond this stage at all and get stuck with the physical and etheric bodies. After this is the Astral Body or the sukshma shari...

Seeing Visions during Meditation

Image
  Photo credit: Transformational Art College Seeing Visions during Meditation Of late many people have asked me the meaning of visions one sees while meditating. Getting visions is related to the eyes and the eyes have a connection to the agya chakra. Swamiji has always said that once you reach the agya chakra – that is good as well as bad. The good part is that you have reached the agya chakra – means you have reached the sixth level while clearing the five chakras below the agya chakra. Once you reach the agya chakra you start seeing visions of deities, samadhist Gurus, some see a flame, a blue light which moves in circles and so on. So, what is this and why does this happen – this is the most common question. The agya chakra holds all the impressions of the past, whether it is guilt, anger, hurt or spiritual in nature. So, the visions of deities, Gurus, saints, etc are basically of those from the past. These impressions are imbedded deep in the subconscious mind or chitta. Once ...

Meaning of Vibrations during Meditation

Image
  Photo Credit: Gem Selections Meaning of Vibrations during Meditation During meditation, many seekers experience subtle vibrations within the body, mind, and soul - gentle waves of energy that signify a deep spiritual awakening. These vibrations are not random sensations but profound indicators of an inner transformation. They reflect the movement of divine energy within us, cleansing our consciousness, dissolving blockages, and aligning us with higher frequencies of existence. The meaning of these vibrations varies based on an individual’s spiritual journey, yet they always serve as a sign that meditation is working at a deeper level beyond the mind’s comprehension. In the initial stages of meditation, vibrations may be felt as tingling, warmth, or pulsations in different parts of the body. These sensations often occur when energy begins to flow more freely, removing stagnation caused by stress, emotional burdens, and past karmic impressions. The human body is not just physic...
