Kriya Yoga, Burning Karma and Going Vegan For Easter

By Jennifer Elizabeth Masters

You've heard the expression, "never say never!" Though it has been a gradual transition, I never thought in a million years I would become a vegan, I have given up meat many times without commitment till now.  I fasted this week only eating fruit and veggies. I became initiated into Kriya Yoga on Good Friday in a private ceremony in Laguna Beach. Part of the commitment is to not eat anything that has a face, including eggs. This is my first meatless Easter. 

Happy Easter! Happy Passover! Happy Spring!

Paramahansa Yogananda brought Kriya Yoga to the west. Kriya Yoga is a series of deep meditative devotional practices which expand the light for the devotee, burn all karma and allow you to be complete at the end of this lifetime without having to reincarnate again. 

I have been deeply committed to my spiritual practice, meditating and chanting daily. Kriya Yoga takes meditation deeper, expanding the practice tapping into the lineage of Mahavatar Babaji. 

In September 2016, I received the book Autobiography of a Yogi as a gift out of the blue. The joy of receiving this beautiful book ignited the flame to read the book completely. I have my son's girlfriend, Melania Armenta to thank for leading me further along this path. I read it slowly, savoring each page. I knew as I did when I read Siddhartha that I wanted to be initiated into Kriya Yoga. I began to research ways to do learn about Kriya Yoga. I knew learning online wasn't for me through Self Realization Foundation. Though their pricing was inexpensive, I needed to be initiated as well in person. I considered it several times but never signed up.

In December Babaji came to me while in meditation when I called on Yogananda. I didn't realize it at the time, that meant I would become a yogi - a student of Kriya Yoga. I looked into learning on-line, but this form of learning didn't speak to me. I knew that wouldn't work for me, so I put it aside. 

When You Follow The Energy Of Your Heart

Through a series of interesting connections and spiritual gatherings I attended in LA, I met someone who suggested I attend another gathering that led me to see a very talented, young musician from Israel. I attended two events that Shai Baruch gave in Hollywood to support him. When you give of yourself, you are rewarded.

At the second event, I was introduced to a very close associate of ParamahansaVishwananda a living Avatar like Jesus was. We shared stories. His eyes became wide when I told him Babaji came to me in my meditation in December along with Yogananda. I didn't realize how special it was that Babaji came to me. Apparently, unbeknownst to me, I was already on the path leading me to Kriya Yoga initiation!

During this sharing, he told me of Vishwananda's ability to manifest jewelry at will. He showed me two rings he had on his hands. The manifestation of material items is something that gets my attention. Being able to manifest out of thin air is what Jesus did. Hello???!!! Are you listening? I was. During that conversation, a gentleman I had met at several spiritual events invited me to the very special private Kriya initiation on Good Friday. I know when my path is leading me to something powerful and life-changing. I said YES! I changed my schedule to accommodate the event, and the rest is magical. I have already been invited to have an audience with Paramahansa Vishwananda privately during the week he is in Los Angeles in May. 

As a child Paramahansa manifested vibutti  a holy ash which covered the walls of his bedroom. 

Kriya yoga was brought to the planet to fully awaken humanity by bringing the experience of God to each individual. Kriya yoga is a spiritual practice passed down through the centuries from guru to disciple through instruction, initiation, and transmission. Babaji to Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Yukteswar, Paramahansa Yogananda and so on to the Swami, Swamini to the student. You cannot receive the same benefit without the Shaktipat (transmission) that culminates the passing down of the lineage and connection to Babaji. Had I not experienced this initiation, I would not have felt the connection of the past masters working behind the scenes. The feeling of connection to these masters was palpable. 

Kriya means action. 

Bhakti means love and devotion.

Yoga is the union of mind body and a spiritual science of self-realization. The root of yoga comes from the Sanskrit word "Yuj" which means to unite or join.

Interestingly, after my initiation, someone very close to me felt a barrier between him and me after this initiation energetically as if there was someone between us. The blanket or love that surrounds me is profound. I am deeply honored to have been brought to this deepening of the light within me. 

Now my work truly begins. As I learn and practice these new meditations my healing and coaching work becomes expanded as well. My clients benefit from this initiation and expanding of the light within me. If you are interested in more information about Atma Kriya Yoga, you can visit Paramahansa Vishwananda's site.

She Wanted True Love Versus An Arranged Marriage: Love Won!

By Jennifer Elizabeth Masters

It was the summer of 2011. I had just published my first book and was quite active on FaceBook. A woman from a foreign country was Guided to contact me. She knew somehow; I could help her find the love she desired. Finding love for someone wasn't new to me, but finding love under the gun of an arranged marriage was. 

When we began working together, Falak told me her father was insisting on an arranged marriage as she was getting on (in his mind) and must get married soon. 

She was well educated and independent, but afraid to be alone. She had a growing homeopathic practice in her hometown. Falak and her father had an agreement that as long as she could find someone quickly (within six months) he would allow her to find someone she loved. (No pressure!)

We worked together for about three months. We worked on self-love issues and letting go of the fear of being alone. Over the time we worked together, Falak's confidence grew. I asked her to follow my intuitive guidance even when it might appear counterintuitive. She trusted me.

She was dating a gentleman whom she didn't love. I instructed her to break up with him immediately. There is an energetic reason to get out of a relationship when they aren't right for you. Continuing to date someone you know isn't right for you will create bad karma. What goes around comes around. Be honorable. If you know the person you are with isn't someone that you want to go the distance with, let them go. 

Breaking up with someone will allow the room for another more suitable person to show up. Breaking up creates a vacuum. The universe hates a vacuum and will quickly fill it back up.

She blessed the gentleman she was dating by letting him go. Breaking up meant he had the ability to attract someone else that loved him back. 

Within two weeks she met someone under mysterious circumstances that she liked and was attracted to. Falak and Awais began to spend time together until he had to fly back to the Virginia in the US where he had a business. Her first reaction was to be concerned about his girlfriend in the US. 

As an intuitive, I knew he was honorable. I asked her to continue to trust me and not to harass him with phone calls or texting and to allow him the time he needed to break up with the woman he had seen in Virginia. It was difficult for Falak to stay centered and grounded when the man she loved was across the ocean doing who knows what? I asked her if she wanted a man who was honorable? She said she did. How a man treats his previous girlfriend is an indication of how he will treat you. If he is kind to her, he will also be kind to you. 

I knew he was breaking up with his past girlfriend gently and kindly. I recommended to Falak that Awais work with me to clear any issues between the two of them. 

She asked him to work with me, while he was in the US. I cleared issues with the family and anything standing in the way of the two of them being together. I cleared self-sabotage, issues of abandonment and rejection for both of them as well as past life issues. The fact that he would work with me at Falak's request was a very good sign. 

While he and I worked together, I had a vision of him proposing once he returned to India. I knew to keep my vision to myself. True to my vision a trip in November was planned for his return to India.

I continued to coach Falak to stay grounded and centered and not focus on him leaving or being unable to commit. I recommended she begin to give gratitude to God and The Universe for her lovely man and soon-to-be husband. I also had her envision her wedding to Awais. 

In November of 2011, within months of us beginning to work together, Awais proposed to Falak. I was invited to their wedding in India. I was unable to leave my daughter who was in High School at the time. 

Before the wedding issues began to surface with Awais' mother. She was rejecting Falak and appeared jealous. I cleared Awais, his mother and Falak's morphogenic field (their joint energetic fields). Falak and Awais's mother had a past life together where they had been business partners. Whether you believe in past lives or not, clearing their energy was enough for the tension to be eradicated and their wedding went off in January 2012, without a hitch. 

In 2014, Falak and Awais visited my daughter and me in Los Angeles. They were gloriously happy together. While eating lunch I told Falak, I felt she would be pregnant soon. By the time she returned to India, Falak had reached out to tell me I was correct she got pregnant while in the US! 

Last week Falak gave birth to their second child, a beautiful little girl.  

Since 2011, I have helped many women clear the issues standing in the way of their true love relationship. No relationship is perfect, but with the perfect person for you, it can be magical. Falak and Awais had a deep soul connection which has propelled them to work together teaching children in India. They are a very tight couple. 

Congratulations Dr. Falak and Awais on your beautiful little girl!
