Hi.

I'm asking a question in regards to bad feelings. I'm about to take on an endevour that may or may not affect the rest of my life. In a strange way I have started to bad feelings about it...Like as if something inside me is cautioning me somehow. I tend not to beleive these things but somehow it's there. To compound the issue my eye keep flickering ( A bad superstition ). Perhaps its anxiety but I highly doubt it. Unfortunately its not something that I can cancel either. If I was to acheive what I set out for it could have a great impact on my life. Is it the devil in me that is bringing these feelings forward ? The situation I'm going into is something that I may have no control in.
(REPLY) Sat Nam. Your situation as described is rather vague, and so it's really not possible to say for sure whether your "feelings" are based on your intution warning you, or whether it is just insecurity and anxiety that your mind is signaling. I would suggest that you sit down early in the morning, before sunrise and close your eyes, and focus them between your eyebrows and up about 1/8 inch to stimulate your Pituitary gland (which opens the gateway to Intuition) and with your eyes closed breathe long and deep through your nose, thinking SAT as you inhale, and NAM as you exhale. Do this for 5 minutes - or 26 long deep breaths to clear your mind and tune in to your deepest self, the reality of your Identity. Be sure whatever you do or plan to do is righteous, and legal! Imagine that Guru is watching you (which happens to be tru!) would you be proud of what you are planning to do? If not, don't do it. Will it, could it hurt other people? Then don't do it. I hope this is of some help. Also, think about the Rehit Maryada -- our Sikh code of conduct---and what it means. May God bless you and Guru guide you to live and act in righteousness and truth. SP
