THUNDERSTORMS, LIGHTING & YOGA
The elemental makeup of a thunderstorm is just like the elemental makeup of a human being. The elements are in the same positions and behave the same way.
Earth is at the bottom, water situated above it, air being found next, with fire at the very top. Fire is represented by lightning strikes that come from high above. These large discharges of fiery energy shoot thru the atmosphere all the way down to the earth. But for this to happen, there must be a medium for the fiery blast to pass thru, as well as a sufficient charge in the atmosphere to allow the strike to happen in the first place. That medium is the element of air. Once the strikes happen, a significant rain shower usually ensues as these two events are generally linked within a normal thunderstorm.
I find it interesting in that the cause of a lightning strike begins at ground level. When the atmospheric conditions are right, a charge is sent up from the ground into the atmosphere, essentially providing a channel. Then comes a lightning strike from high in the atmosphere coursing down to the ground from where the charge was originally sent up.
This process is mirrored exactly in an esoteric form of yoga known as Kriya Yoga, in which a charge is sent up from the earthy chakra at the bottom of the spine to the top of the head (symbolically towards God) where it attracts the attention of Divine energy which can then course down back to the earthy energy center. Call it a meditative form of lightning within the human body if you will, but the process in no way dissimilar from what happens in a normal thunderstorm.
And when a thunderstorm has passed, all of nature is refreshed. The parched Earth has received life giving water to quench nature’s thirst. Life then abounds once more. The lightning strikes provide a life affirming and healthy form of ozone that is easily smelled right after the strike. Moreover, the water that falls from the sky is not ordinary water. It is an extremely healthy form of water that contains an energetic charge of Divine energy within it because it was formed from natural processes as ordained in the laws of nature. It is among the healthiest forms of water that is formed in nature, perhaps second only to morning dew, which is itself loaded with a healthy charge that modern science cannot detect as of yet (much less isolate) with their most advanced instruments. Philosophers and alchemists have always known what makes this form of water so special. To attempt to explain further would require of the reader a deep knowledge of esoteric subjects.
Likewise, when a yogi performs certain Yoga meditations that emulate the processes of a thunderstorm, he receives the same benefits as all of nature when the storm has passed. In fact, every single benefit that nature receives from the actions of the storm, both obvious and hidden, is self generated by the yogi through his mediation.
In the places on earth where it rains at least a little every day, nature is blessed and life thrives!
Likewise, when a yogi performs his meditations each day even for a little while, his whole life is blessed as well.
Be like nature. Imitate nature. Thrive like nature. Then you will also manifest health and life in abundance.
