24. How To Recharge Your Body

Do you want to experience a whole touch? A total touch? Go and meet an Enlightened master.

Whenever a master touches something, it is total. That which is touched by the master becomes whole, and holy. A master can touch with his Being, because he is always in the present, in the 'here' and 'now'.

Besides healing, a master's touch will energize an object, for example the rudraksha bead malas that many people wear, I just energise and give, that's all. People ask me, 'Swamiji, if being in your presence is enough, why do we wear beads? Why these beads in particular?'

Consider this example: when a battery is discharged, you plug the battery into the power source to recharge it. In the same way, whenever our body is discharged, whenever it reaches a low energy level, our mind and body enter into depression. At that time, these beads can supply energy to you. The beads that are blessed by the master function as a storehouse of energy.

These beads, when energized by the master, can supply endless energy to you, and to your body. Wear them around your neck. If you feel that you cannot wear them at your place of work, then wear them at nighttime only, but you need to have them on your body.

You will see that the beads will work miracles. The power of imagining or visualizing what they can do is beyond you.

When you wear the beads blessed by a master, they work on your body 24 hours without a recharge! They also serve to remind you again and again to slow down, to live in the present.

The holy beads can be used as a technique for meditation. Whenever you remember the rudraksha on your body, immediately you can bring your mind and awareness into present. They can also remind you of the spiritual aspect of your life.

You can wear beads on your wrist, arms, or along with your gold necklace. Keep these holy beads under the pillow or always have them in your vicinity. They can radiate and give you tremendous energy.

You will be continually recharged with the master's energy when you wear them.

The mala is just one more technique to recharge your body. There are so many other ways to do it. Just feeling your body with genuine love and respect can recharge it. After all, it is only because of your body that you are able to enjoy anything in this world. If you can feel this deeply, and love your body, you can keep it healthy and recharged forever.
