The Sadhana of Positive Attitude and Non-Resistance to the Present

The Raw Food eating and Yoga practice Sadhana leads to a more conscious awareness of mental processes. This opens the door to a power of triangulation where the Attitude is the third major point.

Core Analogy:
Consider a song which is playing on the radio as you walk in a room and you find rough and a little grating. Since the song is initially disliked you begin to resist it and wish that it would end. This resistance to the song is expressed in a resistance pattern or tension in the body as well.

But then all the sudden you realize that the voice of the singer sounds a bit familiar and then you recognize it to be your favorite artist. In fact you were listening to a brand new song by your favorite singer. Instantly upon this realization your disposition toward the song changes. You soon feel yourself accepting the music deep into your body and listening/receiving the song with gratitude. Soon you are gently swaying to the music and happy to be listening to the song which is by now recognized to be quite good.

This analogy is helpful on many fronts in understanding how a positive attitude can create your reality as you go through your life one present moment at a time.

First of all the “song” can be any “person in your life” whom you initially resist because perhaps that person has a negative energetic pattern and you are initially repulsed. But then as you look a little closer at the person there seems to be something that you recognize not as being deserved of scorn, but rather of love. And with an open heart and love in your eyes you enter the field of that person and instantly they are transformed to lovable and beautiful spiritual beings on the path to self-improvement and doing their best.

This is how a positive attitude operates to form an enlightened energy field.
