In a gentle way, you can shake the world. — Mahatma Gandhi
Dear Fellow Healers,
Om Namaste!
A warm welcome to all the new healers who have joined us in the month of August 2016. We wish you all a joyful journey on this path.
Meditation at the Full Moon
“The time of the full moon is a period when spiritual energies are uniquely available and facilitate a closer rapport between humanity and the Hierarchy.” -- Alice A. Bailey
Ramana Maharishi on Meditation
What is the difference between meditation and distraction?
Sri Ramana: No difference. When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation. However, meditation is only practice (as distinguished from the real state of Peace.)
Devotee: How to practice meditation?
Sri Ramana: Keep off thoughts.
Devotee: How to reconcile work with meditation?
Sri Ramana: Who is the worker? Let him who works ask the question. You are always the Self. You are not the mind. It is the mind which raises these questions. Work proceeds, always in the presence of the Self only. Work is no hindrance to realisation. It is the mistaken identity of the worker that troubles one. Get rid of the false identity.
The Full Moon of Virgo and its significance
"I AM THE MOTHER AND THE CHILD. I, GOD, I, MATTER AM." HM DK through Alice A. Bailey.
"Throughout the whole process of growth and evolution, and potent in Virgo, runs the theme of service." Service underlies the evolutionary process in this planet. We can consciously cooperate with this process as we learn to live more by the dictates of the soul and less by the demands of the personality. But the effort towards cooperation is not for our own benefit. We would all be better off personally for having redeemed our personalities and having learned how to live, even by a little, as a soul in manifestation; but the essential purpose is that through these expansions and growth in consciousness we may become of greater service to humanity as a whole. Service is not a matter of planned and contrived activity; not necessarily participation in worthwhile actions, although these too are needed; but as one is capable of reflecting soul energy into every aspect of daily life, it not only transforms the environment, but acts as a trans mutative agent within the heart of humanity. It serves also to contribute to the transfiguration of the whole human personality by the power of the human soul. Service in its true sense is a spontaneous effect of soul control, based on love for humanity. Love and service are inseparable qualities in the life of the soul and in the endeavour of the soul to express itself more perfectly through the personality form. In Virgo we can develop this demonstration of love as right relationship and service as an attribute of love. Meditation is a potent method of service to humanity when the mind is used as a channel for the reception of the energies of light and love and the will-to-do-good and their direction into human consciousness. And the moment of the full moon each month offers the greatest opportunity for meditation - particularly in-group formation - to be used as a means of cooperation with the divine Plan or Intention for our world.
One may ask, what has the moon got to do with it? The energies of light and love and the will-to-do good are always available to those who can contact them in meditation. But in all aspects of our planetary life there are cycles in the ebb and flow of spiritual energies with which groups, as well as individuals, can consciously cooperate. One of the major energy cycles coincides with the phases of the moon, reaching its peak, its high tide, at the time of the full moon. This is a time, therefore, when the channeling of energy through group meditation can be uniquely effective.
The moon itself has no influence on the work; but the fully lighted orb of the moon indicates a free and unimpeded alignment between our planet and the sun, the solar centre, the energy source for all life on Earth. At such times we can make a definite approach to God, the Creator, the centre of life and intelligence. That this realisation is part of humanity's ancient intuitive understanding is verified by the many religious festivals, which are fixed by reference to the moon or a zodiacal constellation. The esoteric Law of Cycles -- the law which is symbolised by the waxing of the moon to full brightness followed by its waning -- affirms that we can consciously cooperate with the flow of spiritual energies:
The soul's meditation is rhythmic and cyclic in its nature as is all else in the cosmos. The soul breathes and its form lives thereby. The rhythmic nature of the soul's meditation must not be overlooked in the life of the aspirant. There is an ebb and flow in all nature, and in the tides of the ocean we have a wonderful picture of an eternal law... the idea of a cyclic response to soul impulses lies back of the activities of a morning meditation, a noonday recollection, and an evening review. A larger ebb and flow is also indicated in the two aspects of the full moon and the new moon. (Alice A. Bailey)
Come join us this full moon with like minded friends and be a part of the planetary evolution.
Giving, Generosity and Sharing:
"Go give to the needy sweet charity's bread.
For giving is living," the angel said.
"And must I be giving again and again?"
My peevish, petulant answer ran.
"Oh, no," said the angel, piercing me through,
"Just give till the Master stops giving to you.”
The Independence Day and Our Spiritual Heritage - August 15, 2016
This year the Independence Day and Our Spiritual Heritage celebrations were held at PHFD. Once more the healers displayed enormous enthusiasm for the occasion. The cake in Chocolate colour was breathtaking. Many many thanks to the PHFD Volunteers. The floral arrangement was in the spirit of the Independence day with the fragrance pervading the entire area. Thank you to Our Teacher.
The mission of the Teacher will be carried forward.
The PHFD has open-ended projects currently that allow us ample space to share generously in our march towards self-liberation. When we sow happiness we reap happiness, when we share generously we are entitled to generosity.
Empowering Rural India
We have it in our power to change the world over. — Thomas Paine
In our endeavour to share since 2009 we have embraced the water power to help bring happiness, wisdom, prosperity and good health to as many people as we can to strengthen and enable the India of tomorrow to become more vibrant, resourceful, more giving instead of only seeking.
1. Towards this end we have nurtured our Water Power project in Rajasthan. We will add to our list of check dams again this year

“Educating girls is my priority. I have noticed that girls drop out of schools by the time they reach class 3rd or 4th just because schools don't have separate toilets for them. They don't feel comfortable. There should be toilets for boys and girls in all schools. We should concentrate on girl students not quitting schools.” – Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister Teachers’ Day, September 5, 2014
The National Mission - Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Schools will help girls to continue their education instead of dropping out. This is a march for a more literate home, a more literate India where a child in the future will belong to parents who have learnt to live their dreams for a better life through self-reliance.
In March 2015, PHFD started its financial contribution towards this end. In March 2016 the PHFD contributed financially towards this project for the second year running.
Tithing and financial aids for these projects are welcome. Cheques or drafts may kindly be made in the name of the “Pranic Healing Foundation of Delhi” with the project name/s on the reverse. Make August 2016 the month of giving to these noble projects.
