The Ara Kara Mantra Revisited

The most popular subject on this blog by far is "Ara Kara".
Now this leads me to wonder.....
Is it because so many people want to learn about it?
Or is it because so many people have had success with it?

Now you know in my limited time working with the chant, I really didn't have much success.
But you also may recall that I saw on one of Dattatreya Siva Baba's YouTube videos that I was doing it wrong.
Well I was doing it Wayne Dyer's way, and since Dattatreya taught Wayne Dyer, I figured I was doing it right.
Of course he taught Wayne the "Ahh meditation" not Ara Kara I suppose.

Anyway, here you can see Dattatreya himself demonstrating the mantra.....



Now, has anyone out there had any success with the Ara Kara mantra?

How to Manifest Reality, Part Two

Wayne Dyer, like Neville Goddard, has several manifesting techniques.

One is intention.
You intend for the desired thing to happen.
"I INTEND to be healthy."
As opposed to Neville's "I AM healthy".

Dr.Dyer also advocates thinking from the end, seeing your desire as already done.

But one of his most famous techniques is the Japa meditation using the sound of "Ahh".
I've written about the Ahh meditation here before, but let's recap.
This meditation was given to Wayne Dyer years ago by Dattatreya Siva Baba.

1.Pick your goal
2. Sit down and imagine a column of energy starting at your root chakra, going up your spine to the third eye (between and slightly above your
eyes).
3. Now, close your eyes and say the sound "Ahh" out loud while imagining the sound traveling up from your root chakra to the 3rd eye.
Picture what you want in your third eye and send the sound of "Ahh" into it.

I have seen it recommended to do this 20 minutes a day.

Dr Dyer has two CDs that I know about, using the Ahh meditation, " Meditations For Manifesting" and "Getting in the Gap".

Of course this is a VERY simpified version of Dr Dyer's teaching.

Wayne Dyer, "Getting in the Gap" and "Meditations for Manifesting"

I bought two CD/Books this week.
"Getting in the Gap" and "Meditations for Manifesting" both by Wayne Dyer.
Both are good, but "Getting in the Gap" could have really been just a CD with liner notes.
Don't get me wrong, they both have good info, but they are repetitious.
Not all of Dr. Dyers stuff is like that. I've read several of his books and they are full of good information.
But with "Getting in the Gap", I could give you the whole technique in one blog entry.
I liked "Meditations for Manifesting" because I need someone to chant along with so to speak.
It annoys some people but it helps me.
Also, it's kinda like having your own Guru working with you.
Now the rumors I hear about the "Meditations for Manifesting" CD is that it starts working in about 15 days.....
I'll let you know.
