Magnetism And The Power Of Association

Composing herself, she nued her walk, but within a short ce she stopped again and was back for a second look at what unmoved her.

I've heard similar accounts and, , my own introduction to the book much the same. A recent graduate college, i had been drifting ssly when i came upon the autobiography and my life radically changed course. It was as if a door had opened, inviting me into another realm. Swami Kriyananda too had a similar experience and later he asked Yogananda about the book's influence. "Yes." the Master said, "It's because I put my 'vibrations' into it." What did Yogananda mean by that? Just as we know spoken words convey a speaker's consciousness, so too does the written "voice" reveal an author's character. Some immediately attract us like iron filings are attracted to a magnet while others do the opposite, repelling us. That woman in China was sensitive to Yogananda "magnetism" which awakened long buried feelings and "memories". The analogy of a magnet is particularly apt in the study of yoga. From physics we learn of two ways to create magnet. The first is to place a bar of iron in close proximity to a strong magnet.

For a spiritual aspirant, the lesson is obvious; put yourself in the company of those who are spiritually strong and your own strength increases. There is a second way to create a magnet. By rotating a current of electricity around an iron bar, the bar's molecules get aligned in a uniform north-south polarity to createa magneticfield. Applying this principle to meditation and pranayama gives us the science of Kriya Yoga. Subtle pranic currents associated with the breath are rotated around the central "bar" of the spine, thereby aligning our scattered energies to create a magnetic pull upon the outward flow of life force which normally moves towards the senses anoutward involvement.Through dailypractice and living in harmony with Nature's Laws, the yogi withdraws hisattention from bodily senses into the inner spine and from there, directs hislife force upward towards the brain ancsuperconscious bliss. Magnetism is the secret of all spiritual and material success and is within our power to increase or change.Wedraw to us those people, circumstances and opportunities with which our karma resonates. Ask yourself, "To what am I magnetically attuned?" Prosperity an eHealth come not by karma alone but also by our power of attraction. Chan your magnetism and you will change your life.
