Projection 13: Gourmet - Creating Art through Past Memory  
 
Positive Mind x Ahangkar / Negative


Heart Shield Meditation



Sit straight with the left hand in front of the heart center palm facing the chest 4 to 6  inches away. Keep the fingers stiff but not tight. The forearm is parallel to the ground. The right arm is straight resting over the knee. Hold the right hand in Gian Mudra with the forefinger curled under the thumb and the other fingers straight and joined. Eyes look down the nose. 

Chant:

Sat narayan whahay guroo

Haree narayan satnaam



True Sustainer Indescribable Wisdom

Creative Sustainer True Identity



Continue for 11 minutes. Then inhale hold briefly and relax. Meditate with open awareness as your heartcenter adjusts your feelings with the boundaries of the self.


When balanced this Projection acts like a gourmet that intensifies sensations and experiences them very personally. There is a tendency to be a collector to acquire things that will express your feelings and ideals. The positive feelings of the past are savored repeated and refined. It becomes a way to feel who you are It is an aesthetic of the personal past. At best this can lead to a storyteller one who unites a family and relationships from a sense of history and ancestors. If it is too strong the attachment tendency of ahangkar can dominate. Then it devolves into a cloying nostalgia or an attachment to miseries of the past as a way to belong. The writer Salinger did not publish a story for decades after "Catcher in the Rye" He said it was to keep the experiences he wrote about as his own undisturbed by the thoughts and feelings of others. When it is too weak you can lack the ability to set boundaries on the intense feelings of the past - you become entangled with them without distinguishing the positive and negative impacts of the past feelings.
Or with less ahangkar you can not rank your own experiences easily to set priorities. All of your experiences seem distanced or emotionally flat. You area gourmet without strong opinions and with a blunted palate.
