Then expand it and give it back.ĭo this positive transfiguration for at least a few minutes a day, everyday. This is the simple version of transfiguration, but, like its reverse, it is extremely powerful. Repeat, smile, amplify, give back, and enjoy, again and again. Now amplify the feelings, and if other feelings like love, compassion, or awe, devotion, etc., appear, join them with the original feeling.Ĭontinue to amplify, and gently send the good feelings back towards your loved one, and towards your own self-image. Circulate the feeling throughout your whole You can start with a feeling.īe aware of that special something, however subtle it may be. So here’s how you are going to make transfiguration your friend, instead of your undoing:įind something wonderful (but real) that exists within a loved one, or, if you want to transfigure yourself, a trait that exists within you. The exceptional practitioner transfigures a person or situation so as to glorify or exalt it’s highest aspect, an aspect that already exists.Īnd that higher aspect is always there – no matter how subtle or difficult to find… Here’s the little twist you’ll put on it: So, what then does the exceptional practitioner of tantra do differently? How can you completely change your mood, your day, and your life, using the technique you already do, out of habit?Īnd if you do the technique out of habit, then that means that the technique is something you’re already good at, right?!! We just need to tweak it so it helps you.
You’ve just seen the power of reverse transfiguration to destroy your mood, your day, and your relationships. That’s what we do when we obsess about the little, negative things that really don’t matter – our pet peeves. Reverse transfiguration, then, would be the process of changing so as to profane, disparage, or belittle.
Transfigure (vt) : to change so as to glorify or exalt. the most important technique in Tantra is called “transfiguration”. Tantra is known as the “transformation path”. If this email is hitting close to home, then you have been doing the *reverse* of the most important technique in Tantra. You may already do this mental technique out of habit, but it affects your mood, attitude, performance, and relationships with everyone in your life! Now your little mental-and-emotional focus-amplify-and-repeat “technique” has radically altered the course of your day, week, or even life. You drove to work angry, or took it out on your kids, or picked a fight with the “guilty” party, or withheld affection, or withheld sex, etc…Īnd if you keep repeating the pattern, you may break up, or divorce. If you chose not to dwell on the event, your day would’ve been fairly clear, and quite possibly fairly enjoyable.īut if you obsess, dwell on it, and amplify… your day went completely differently. And you probably realize that this “technique” has the power not only to change your perception of reality, but to actually change your reality itself. Now – if you allowed yourself to re-experience those feelings just now, having done this exercise with me here, you may have noticed the incredible power of your own mind to control your mood, activity, and relationships with others.Įspecially when your mind combines memory, focused visualization, sensory input, and emotional content, and repeats and amplifies them all, over and over. And the event faded into the background, until the next time, and the pattern will start all over again, this time even more intense. Maybe you did something to “take a stand” or get even. Until this one amplified event, and all of its emotional baggage, was your sole focus for the rest of the day.Īnd then what? Maybe you sulked. “what if he had thrown out something that really mattered?” “what if I fell in and got stuck?”), and added more emotions You took the feelings you associate with that simple, small event.Īnd you repeated them (the memory of the experience and the feelings), over and over in your mind,Īdding more emotional content as you went,Īnd adding in more images (previous occurrences, or things that might have happened but didn’t: In other words, here was a simple, small event. And then you started remembering other things he/she did “wrong” in the past…
And your resentment, ill feelings, and anger grew. And soon your bad feelings brought up the bad feelings from every previous time your loved one left the seat up, or threw something out. Maybe in her zeal to clean, your roommate threw out a newspaper or magazine you wanted…Īnd that one little thing just stuck in your craw for the rest of the day.Īnd it didn’t just sit, did it? It festered. Maybe your spouse left the toilet seat up again. Think of the last time you let yourself get really steamed about something insignificant…
