The Art of Confirmation (21)

The power of thought and power of will are two pillars of spiritual yoga training. The first is the basis of the second. The seed of the future will power develops out of the power of thought. However, one needs a mind with pure and calm thoughts. You can call thought a form woven from the matter of the mind. The shapes of your thoughts form the nucleus of your future life today. Destiny is woven from the mental forms created by the mind. The power of thought multiplies when emotions are embedded in the experience of thought and its image. Thoughts need to be nourished by the feeling in order to become a power.

The power of the spoken word is the result of practicing confirmation – yogic sankalpa/h. What is confirmation? It is simply a strengthening of thought-form and fixing it in the inner space, in the mind and feeling. In the religious sense, confirmation is the name of the confirmation ritual, the transmission of the Spirit Power. Spiritual Schools, including yoga and Sufi, show the work of mind transformation into the state of its original purity and transparency that is needed to awaken the element of Spiritual Will. Good thoughts and good words are the first pillars of confirmation, confirming the mind in the Spirit. This is part of the basic techniques of spiritual practice and spiritual development training, which are called Vipaśyana and Upasana. The first technique is colloquially called “meditating about oneself” and the other “thinking about God.”

Repetition of good thoughts is the basis of all this lofty or rather elevating work of the first levels of Initiation into all spirituality. The traditional way is to repeat the prayers on the rosary (japa). This technique, among people seeking God and the truth, is unfortunately often misunderstood and underestimated. The Vipaśyana and Upasana process is the basis of Mansa Yoga – the first level of initiation in Laya Yoga. Keeping short thoughts in mind about positive content and associations is a great way to concentrate the mind in the next phases of a spiritual journey along the path. Thought requires strengthening and affirmation until it becomes a permanent part of the structure of our mind, our desires and aspirations.

The teacher often expressed thoughts that proved to be very helpful in the path of spiritual development and self-improvement. We received as a chela, at least ten techniques for confirming the mind in the Pure Spirit through mental practice. We provide this practically during yoga and Sufi workshop sessions. We are now dictating spiritual and elevating thoughts from the mind of our beloved Teacher.
