Healing power of Mother Earth

Direct connection with the earth is the supreme healing.

To touch the earth barefoot, to work the soil with bare hands, is a profound therapy. This practice blesses one with physical and mental health, transferring the earth's rich minerals and vibrations directly into the body. It alleviates allergies and stress. Many in cities lack this connection, living isolated from nature. An article described a family healed of severe allergies after a week of barefoot work on an organic farm, handling cow dung. This substance has proven power; its smoke purifies the air in practices like Agnihotra, and plaster made from it insulates and heals. Therefore, walk daily upon the meadow without shoes. Withdraw in Udāśīmauna, walking in nature with a mala to contemplate problems impersonally, gaining clarity and peace from the side, not by jumping into the fire.

"Touch the earth directly, the mud with your hands. This kind of therapy blesses us with good health, physical and mental."

"In this udāśī mauna sādhanā, you get a good relation to the problem. A positive understanding that will not cause you sadness."

The Anuṣṭhāna sādhanā is a great practice. Seniors have the first priority, juniors. I believe you had a great time. To feel, to touch, and to be one with nature is the best healing process. Lucky are they who have a garden. Blessed are they who have the opportunity to go to the garden, and they have a great opportunity to do something in it. Your garden should be organic. Your field should be organic. Then, if you go into your garden without shoes, barefoot, let your feet become muddy. Touch the earth directly, the mud with your hands. Of course, carefully ensure that there are no thorns, no pieces of glass, or needles from injections. Sometimes people sit in the garden and give injections. So this kind of therapy, this practice, blesses us with good health, physical and mental. It is the best therapy to get rid of stress. We know that in this earth, in the mud, there are many minerals. It is very rich in nutrition, and that transfers into our body. It’s immense in vibration, a connection with Mother Earth directly to our skin. Many people who have allergies to different things, if they work in the garden like this, they will definitely heal the allergy. For us, people who live with nature and love animals, for us it’s nothing new. We know from childhood. But people who live in big cities in multi-floor buildings, they don’t even have a little balcony. They may have a little house plant, and they also work with plastic gloves. They don’t know. It was already a decade ago, there was an article in Austria. Austria is a country which always brings the best articles, which go into the heart like a knife and into the brain like a washing machine. Why? Because our heart is so blocked, you can’t open it. Thanks to such articles, it goes like a knife into the cheese—I mean, positively. Then the door of my heart I keep open wide. The washing machine, they call it brainwash. But this is a negative word. The brainwashing is very positive. It removes the bad ideas, bad thinking, and unnecessary worries. You get knowledge. When something happens clearly, then you can purify everything. You understand better. So it was a story about someone who had an allergy: an allergy to bread, to eating bread; allergy from washing powders; allergy from the dust, room dust, outdoor dust; allergy to the yogurt; allergy to some fruits; and allergy to the colleagues; and allergy to the husband. And one child also had a skin problem. So they went for holidays to one of the best parts of Austria, which had a healing power: first, mental healing; physical healing; emotional healing. There is some part in Austria; it’s called a canton. It’s most complicated; people are there. They kill you with eating. You understand me? What you call them, they are good hosts. So that’s why I’m afraid to go to Kyrgyzstan. They feed me so much. And they have the same habit as India. They give you food, and they come with a big cup of hot butter, ghee, and they put it on your food. And my doctor said, "Do you want to die?" I said I was dying, but now I will live. So Kärnten is beautiful, and every other part of everything is beautiful. Because Kärnten gets the energy, direct energy, from the most beautiful place: Vienna. That’s it. Without Vienna, that heart is without soul. You know? You should know Vienna is a great place. And that’s why all Viennese who live in Vienna are free of allergy. You know why? Because they go to camp. So, my dear, that family went to one farmer’s house, and this farmer was known as very good at organic farming. They had cows, horses, sheep, and goats, and this family went there to make holiday. The children were running and working in the place where the cows were. Husband and wife, they also were working and helping. In one week, the allergy was gone. So they removed the cow dung with their hands and went barefoot, and the children did too. So that was the article, that working at the cow gauśālā is best against allergy and everything. Then they made an experiment about cow dung. Now they are bringing the cow dung from India to make plaster walls, the best insulation. When it’s cold, it’s warm. When it’s warm, it’s cold, and healthy. It is against asthma. Many people cannot sleep. They need some kind of spray. Sleep in the room where plasters are from this cow dung. It will heal your asthma. Then the smell, the smoke of this cow’s dung—so it’s about 40–50 years, it was introduced in Europe, one kind of spiritual technique called Agnihotra. Every day they make little yajñas. So they have a little fireplace, mobile, you can move it, little coal, and they put the dry cow dung on it. That purifies the air, the atmosphere, really. But this cow dung should be from that cow which is not fed with artificial feed, and not with any corn. As soon as you feed them with grains, the corn, then the cow dung begins to stink. So it is advised that the cow only eats good grass and dry grass. When the time comes when the flu begins, if you do this Agnihotra every day, you need not have an injection against any flu or infection. It is that power of that cow dung. So, working in that place is very, very healthy. And long life, you live a long life. So connection directly to the Mother Earth, it is great. So you were doing something today in the garden. Many have some kind of gloves. Many have long shoes. But we are trying hard to do something, and I can feel you enjoy it. Can you give feedback? Did you enjoy? The webcast said, "Nobody said yes." Only 3% said yes. Did you feel the energy and nature? Did you enjoy? Yeah, yeah, boom, boom, okay. So it’s also circulating energy; our blood circulation is good, and our muscles are too. So you were sitting for three days, and you were feeling a little bit of soreness in your muscles. Therefore, in this anuṣṭhāna sādhanā, the complete kriyā, many people could not pass or come through. So I reduced sixty percent. If we add this sixty percent, then you will feel, yes, that was a sādhanā. And that is also walking through nature, in your garden, park, etc. So our ashram here is surrounded by beautiful hills and fields, and our area is completely free from any kind of pesticides. And that’s why you will feel healthy. So I would suggest you all, every day, at least five to ten minutes, walk on our meadow without shoes and socks. You need not go very far. So you walk on just fifty square meters. Touch the grass, touch the earth. It’s very, very important. They said after check-in there are some checks, nějaké klieště (some ticks). So mostly we are all from other countries. 35% Czechs are here. Yeah, there are many Czechs. Thank you. Our Gajanan is always looking for side effects. So there could be some ticks on the grass. Therefore, after Czech and Slovak, together they help them to control. Thank you. So sādhanā, extreme sādhanā is not good. There should be some changes. Then it’s good, so we should sing one bhajan. And that bhajan is "Kya Tum Jalo." Since we lost the connection or relation to Mother Earth, we are facing more and more different diseases. In the sādhanā, there is one called in our Kriyānushṭhāna sādhanā, which is called Udāśīmauṇa. And this mauna has a very great effect, a good effect on us all. It means with the chintan. Chintan means thinking, over-thinking. So you withdraw thyself to think about yourself. Yourself means which kind of problem you are now facing, which difficulties you are facing. Some are personal and some are impersonal. Impersonal, we can solve. And for that we have two options. First, to understand that situation. And second, avoid the situation or find something different. Example? Now there is in the world an economic crisis, what we call. So the owner of many factories, companies, they feed it. But for the employee, it doesn’t matter. They want to have their salary at the end of the month. So that company cannot bear such expenses. They don’t want to, but now they have to reduce some workers. So you were the one who was removed. Now this is the impersonal problem. So you should not be sad. Understand the owner of the company or factory, and understand that you cannot work there because they don’t have money to pay so many employees. We trust in God. We will find something. So now, in this udāśī mauna sādhanā, you get a good relation to this problem. A positive understanding that will not cause you sadness. Of course you lost the job, but the company lost more than that. Now, the personal problem is the example that you are consuming alcohol and you can’t give it up. And you are facing a lot of health problems, family problems, social problems, economic problems. But you are not able to give up, so nothing is impossible. If you wish, you can do it. And that in the saṅkalpa of the Udāśīmauna, all pictures will appear. Because of this alcohol, your family life is disturbed. Your partner is unhappy. Children are disturbed. They have psychic problems. Now children have the problem of education. You lost a friend. They talk on your back, bite. Oh, that is an alcoholic. He is a drinker. So this is a personal problem. Now you say to yourself, "Finished. All problems are solved." So this is a personal and impersonal problem. And we are between. So this is a very great technique that’s called udāśīna. That you withdraw to yourself and you search inner problems. But problems are personal or impersonal, very dangerous. When you want to solve the problems, then make it clear. Then, try to solve it from the side; don’t jump into it. When there is a big fire, don’t jump into the fire. But try to fight against the fire from the side. You will be successful. Otherwise, that fire will burn you also. So these are the techniques and the theories to become free from many, many problems. At the same time, we are touching the Mother Earth. You feel the nature. Definitely, that will help you. Udāśīmauna, you take your mālā and you walk somewhere, through the forest, or somewhere on the footpath, or on the meadow, in nature. That will give you immense energy, peace, and clarity. That’s why it’s called ekāntabhāsa. Go and reside for a while in a peaceful, lonely place. Or vihār, walk somewhere in nature, come to nature. All the problems, all the troubles from the world, forget it. So this morning, the technique that brought you to such ideas and feelings—I’m sure you felt good, the majority of people felt good—and it circulated your energy, it moved your muscles and everything. So this was the instruction this morning. I think next time we will ask Parvati to borrow a few cows for one month, so we will get milk, and that cow will help us to heal our different energies. That’s very good. So, a few cows, no? The cow will be very happy. She will think, which karma do I have now? There is a big waiting list for doing seva, so today is enough. All my dear ones, the evening webcast will be at 8 o’clock, 8 p.m.
