New year resolution

Human beings should be happy, peaceful, pure, loving, knowledgeable and with willpower. They shouldn't have moved away from these characteristics. If they are suffering, then it is a tragedy. Sufferings have can a ripple effect.

Make a resolution that you will keep yourself happy, light, content, loving soul. Remind yourself that you own these qualities and you will express them through this body.

What to do when NOT HAPPY WITH YOUR JOB

Do not go out and start looking for a job if you are not happy with your job.

Go within and change your inside first. Make your inside happy, loving, peaceful. See what is going in and keep meditating to erase all the previous impressions and the more the inside is cleansed, then right things will get attracted and physical changes will take place.

Human beings have all the goodness within them. If I am in pain, I am not keeping my inside clean.
You do not have to change outside, you have to change your inside to be pain free.

How to maintain spirituality at work.

At work, it is 50% work and 50% is relationships. It is very important to develop good relationships with people at work.

When you meditate on a regular basis, it is hard to be surrounded by negativity. Walk away and have lunch date with your self or your soul.

Have positive thoughts in your mind and not to be influenced by the people around you.

Have a close relationship with your self and the supreme soul.

Ask supreme soul for guidance when you cannot figure it out.

Conflict, difference of opinion becomes easier to handle.

Love everyone, everyone is a soul. Souls have spots too.

We all have our karmas to follow. Respect others and not to gossip about others weaknesses as it will bring sorrow.

How can I find God?

Every child develops their relationship with their parent, close, not so close depends on so many factors.
Every soul has a right to have relationship with their parent( Divine).
Develop your relationship with him. Visit him more often. Begin to know him, fine tune your receiver to hear messages from him.

Finally, it is Meditation.

Near Death Experience

I read somewhere about the someone's soul was leaving the body , it went through the tunnel of darkness, saw flashes on the screen of the mind and at the end of the tunnel was light of love, unconditional. They get such good feelings that the people did not want to come back , but by chance when they come back, then they are transformed, not selfish and spend their life serving others.

Just serve others without going through this experience.

What destroys relationships?

Why do meeting family members is STRESS for some people?

Lack of care, acceptance of the choices they made of styleof living or religion, Love, lack of showing love destroys relationships. There is nothing wrong with having high expectations from children without putting too much pressure on. Parents should show them that they do care. Parent and child both should show love for each other.

Parents should demonstrate the values that they talk about. Sometimes parents say something but do something different.

Children should realize that parents are not God, they do make mistakes. They did their best.
Forgive your parents as they may have moved on.

If their abuse in the family, then it is hard, some people are easier to love from far or spend less time with them. Have good wishes for them from a distance. Accept them as they are.

Open your heart a bit more at family gatherings.

Proof that God exists?

It is hard to prove that God exists or soul exists but people can experiment and decide for themselves.

When I meditate and make connection with the supreme, I feel happy, peaceful and serenity within myself. That tells me that there is some energy that is doing its job of cleaning and healing and it is like a big Ocean of peace, happiness truth , purity. That is only one Supreme Soul.

That supreme never entered the physical body. He has all the wisdom and truth.
But when human soul entered the physical body, body took over and soul got distracted. Though the original basic qualities of the soul are love, pure, happiness.......no two souls or lives are same because of different elevation. It is like reading a book but we are on different chapters. Human soul can become deity soul ( Dev atma) if soul forgets all the negativity. Souls can be at different elevations too.

Tips to get into Meditation.

Always sit in a comfortable pose with your spine straight, on the floor, on a chair, be aware, if cannot, then lie down.

You can try with eyes open, by focusing on the tip of your nose or the middle of your forehead. If not, start with eyes closed.

Do it on a daily basis to see the effect. Morning and evening 15(5 to ) minutes twice a day. Evening can be gratitude time.

Results are based on what you put in. It is a journey, discover it by yourself.
Create a quiet space within yourself but try with a quiet room to start with.

It is like a baby plant, you are caring for it to help the plant grow.

With time, you get better and better. When you feel that everyday is a happy day, you are achieving it.
You have to make certain changes to your life style to empower your soul.
Everything you do affects the mind.

When you meditate, Consciousness shifts. Time you give to change your consciousness is very important.

Plant based diet is recommended but take your time.

See what works for you. you do not have to give up your family, life etc. Listen to your soul.

When you meditate in a group, increase experience exponentially. It helps to build vibrations in the room.

Power of Meditation.

According to Brahmakumaris, there are three aspects of the soul or the self are

Mind, Intellect, Impressions.

Thoughts arise in the mind, reasoning done by the intellect and impressions made and recorded there.
Impressions are your key to life. Your happiness or unhappiness lies in the impressions.
People say that they want peace of mind. They need to see what impressions they have that is causing unhappiness in their mind.

Mind picks up the impressions. Mind is your messenger of your impressions, no need to hit the messenger. It is like no need to hit the monitor when computer is not working.

In Meditation, you take the mind, intellect and awareness and try to change the experience.
Then you are no longer slave to your impression or records. We change the experiences.

Being aware that soul is the driver of your body will give me power. Knowing about myself will give me power. We should know how soul works, we all know how our body works.

Focus on love, peace , happiness etc, awareness of your soul will grow. People usually say that they want money etc, but before that they want peace, love , happiness etc.

Meditation has the power to bring happiness, love, peace, purity. Always focus on what you want.

How to get your energy back.

According to Dr. Oz

You need to up your feel great level and chemical level by keeping in mind the following

1. Fish oil................. 2 grams of per day.

2. Ribose.................500mg, 3 times a day, later increase to 5 grams 3 times a day. It is too sweet can be thought of it as a sugar substitute. It is a sugar made in the body but not metabolized as sugar, low in calories. It relieves soreness, stiffness and fatigue after exercise.

3. Physical activity to kick start the day.

4. Sleep 8 hours per day. Calcium 1200mg, magnesium 400mg, melatonin can help.

5. Quality foods like nuts and fish to be used, cut carbohydrates, avoid dehydration and use whole grains.

6. Chia is a whole grain used by Aztecs. They maintain the sugar level better in the body.

Using meditation to deal with loss of your job

Loss of job is money crises. Of course, you do have to look for another job because you do have to pay your bills. It may take time to find the right job. In the mean time, think about few things.

1. Where is my identity going to come from.
2. Where is my happiness going to come from( club fees, Starbucks coffee, golf fees, shopping...)

We do know that there are always ups and downs in life. But our needs are very little. There are WANTS and NEEDS. Learn the difference between the two.

We depend so much on external stuff for our happiness. This situation is forcing us to go within and look for happiness. It is like transformation time is here. It will force you to set your priorities straight.

As we all know that SOUL rules your body. Go within and quieten your mind and visit your soul.
Go within and make changes and get to know yourself. It is a long journey to get to know yourself. Internal faith keeps people going. Learn about the inner values that you are born with. Show gratitude for the awareness of yourself.

It is hard to start by your self. It is good to take a meditation class and work with a group. When many people meditate together, then it is easy because more advanced people are drawing the powers as well with you and you get the benefit as well. You get to know yourself better.

You were initially heart broken, then you learned about silence and now you have broken through the walls for something better. You may end up in a much better position than you were before.
Learn the inner world of wisdom. Meditate, meditate but keep looking for a job if you have not found one yet.

Inner wisdom is what I own

Mostly we look at the past experiences and form some impressions and draw some boundries, fears and and beliefs in our life. It may have restricted you in some way to go forward in your life. Past experiences did affect your life.

We are leading very busy lives that we do not realize the benefits of practicing silence.
Do meditation or practice stillness and silence on a regular basis to get clarification on your purpose of your life. Silence will create balance and harmony inside you, clear the mental chatter or background noises, allowing the inner wisdom to speak and guide you by stepping forward.
It will give you clarity on your purpose of life and inner guidance will direct you in the right direction to create the life you want.

Share your Affection

We all have good days and bad days. If you are having a good day, share your affection, love, peace and happiness with other people who are not feeling so great that day.

You can do that by being kind hearted, giving a hug to a close friend or family. You can buy a gift for no reason to celebrate friendship, call a friend or a family member who live at a distance to cheer them up. By spreading your happy mood, you spread lots of happy energy.

Try to spread the happy light around the lives of those around you by shifting the energy around in a positive way.

I Am Financially Successful but still unhappy

Mostly people measure success by what they own or job position they and the cars they drive. They are very proud of it and they should be. They are always bragging about their success in front of people which leads to making other people feel less successful. They may not be trying to do that intentionally but it has does affect people if this is what you do every time.

But to be really successful, we need to have successful in having
Health
Love
Happiness
Peace
Purity
Knowledge
and will power.

What good is all that financial success etc if you have no one to share with. You may have millions and no one even wants to know you.

We have to be successful in all areas of your life as mentioned above. We need to lead a balanced life. We can learn some lessons about how we got that success in financial area and try to apply to other areas too. Remember, it is energy, it can change from one form to another.

How to DeStress myself?

If you have your life in the fast lane and you cannot reduce your work load, practice to spend few minutes in stillness and silence which will allow you to empty your mind of all thoughts leaving you more energy and you will regain your focus.

Since quality and speed of thoughts affect mood, you may wish to say positive affirmations to yourself.

Try 1 minute meditation 4,5 times a day, it will destress you and restore your balance and you will produce more. Sitting in stillness and silence to connect with your inner qualities of love, peace and purity along with happiness will help you to work better and faster and you get to connect with your spirituality.

"I do not know what career I want to choose in my life" is a common question on students mind.

"I do not know what I want to be" is a question puzzles students a lot.

Ask first " What is the purpose of my life". Answer that first before you can find your career path.
Before we get into it, lets learn about the foods that generate thoughts.
There are 3 types of foods that we eat and it generate that kind of thinking too.

1. Sattavik food ( Best for yoga people to bring balance in the body, pure, highest quality food and increases the energy of the body). It is fresh cooked simple juicy food. No alcohol, meat, tea, coffee, onion, garlic. It produces highest refined thinking as well. People asks about their calling which is a highest level thinking.

2. Rajasik food (this food overstimulate the body). Food is fresh but heavy. Tea, coffee, onion, garlic, meat eggs etc. It produces action oriented passionate kind of thinking. It is like you want to be a big film star or a big politician, athletes etc.

3. Tamasik food ( tama means darkness, is the food for lazy people). Foods are not fresh and overcooked, stale , alcohol, tea. coffee, meat etc. It produces lowest level of thinking. It increase mood swings, heart diseases and diabetes.

Having passion is important but not the ultimate. Ultimate is our calling. Find your calling first then you choose your career otherwise you are not true to yourself.

To find your calling, you have to
1. Start talking to yourself about it and to others.
2. Write about it.
3. Go after it.
4. Learn to be a student. Calling can come at any time. Be ready and not sleepy about it.

Whatever I am call to do will make me live to the higher potential.


If the job you are doing is of your calling, then you will be tolerant of whatever you have to face.
Our purpose is to be happy and peaceful. Go within and learn to listen to the silence within.
Do not hold onto any negativity. Let go of the negativity and then you will attract the right job.

Trying hard to stay positive but ..........

We have accumulated lots of dirt from our previous lives that when we meditate and get over one layer of dirt , then we come across more dirt to uncover. Do not get discouraged.

There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Have faith in God. Sun will shine again. Have faith in things that you cannot see. You have all the qualities of Supreme soul as you are his child. Do not look at your weaknesses otherwise it will bring you down. Take a step forward, God will help you so many times more.

Use meditation even it is for few minutes a day to overcome the dirty layers of negativity. It will take time but you do see the fruits of your effort.

Living Meditation

Enjoying the beauty of nature and being fully present is living meditation. I was in Guatemala last summer and they have beautiful flowers, not so much as much in Costa Rica but I was enjoying them so much that I decided to post a picture of the " Bird of Paradise". Guess what, there are so many of them that grow there.

Don't worry, Be happy

It was a song which I heard on the radio long ago. Sooooo true.

When we meditate and have connection with God, we are free from fear, worries and desires. We do not talk about others even behind their back.

Be happy no matter what happens.

Our inner nature is to be happy, pure, peaceful soul.

Only happy person can make others happy.

Learn to feel great, then we impart that happiness to others as well. This is another way we serve people by giving them happy energy. We connect with them, care about them by asking how are they. It gives happiness to both parties.

Dealing with "Anger"

As people start to get angry, their tone starts to go up. There is a message for the other person to walk away from this person before the explosion. It destroys relationships and peace and harmony of the house. People around you get sorrow from you. Angry people usually end up lonely or have trouble forming relationship with people. We all know that. Do not allow irritation to happen.

Since you realized that you have caused so much pain to people, people probably have walked away with scars, resolve by reestablishing the relationship on a different level because it may be hard to put the same relationship right.

Are you going to let this go on? Make a new year resolution. No more anger.

Transformation is possible but not overnight. Determination is required. Start now.
Sit in silence and meditate. Taste the fruit of it by being in silence 3,4 times a day. It will give you strength of keep going.
Remind yourself that you are a pure, peaceful, happy, loving soul. You may fall but get up and try again.

Financially sucessful but want more success

We are not content in our lives. But we want more. We have a car that takes us from one place to other but we want a better car. We have a house but want a bigger house. I want to dress better if I had more money.
It is a weakness that we are so attached to the cars. We are here to use them. Do not let them rule your consciousness. Use them but do not get attached to them.

We are not taking any money, house, bank balance with us once we die.

Grow with YOGA

Yoga is not just doing postures but applying what you are learning, or growing with it. We live in an information age but application is what is going to bring you benefits. Why not try it. There is no harm in trying for sometimes. See if you see any benefit. Apply at work, at home. If you see benefits, continue otherwise you can stop. Best place is to start applying changes to yourself.

Stress free life

For stress free life

1. Learn to be silent so you can hear more
2. Talk less,
3. Only positive stuff should come out of your mouth,
4. talk slowly
5. Be clear
6. Let go of small stuff
7. Let things be.
8. Listen to the silence within ...... your intution
9. Share with others.
10. Accept everything.

How would I communicate with the person of different culture?

Human spirit is the same but unique. Feelings are same for both genders, age etc.
Soul can communicate with soul without even making an eye contact. You can notice that within a mother and a child.

Regarding different cultures, your body is an instrument , you, the soul decides what to communicate with the other soul. Your soul is the master of your body, your physical senses. Soul has to take charge. Soul has to say what needs to be said and to stop when needs to stop. Some people love talking. Tongue does not know when to stop but soul( inner being) has to say to stop.

Driver of your body is your soul. Soul cannot fall asleep. If it does then you know what could happen. Awaken your soul. Apply this to food. Sometimes I like to eat desserts. My body does not know when to stop. But soul who drives my body should say NO if the soul is awake.

If soul is awake, the it will do the right things and say the right stuff and life will be content , happy.
Do not judge the person from his clothes but by his actions.

Your happiness should not depend on others actions.

We can only change ourselves not others. Sooner we learn that better it gets for us.

"Let it be" is another phrase we should learn. Let people learn the life lessons at their own pace but we parents do not want our children to make the same mistakes we made.

We take responsibility to change others by interfering in others life. We drain our energy telling others what they should do.

Parents want their children to do this or that so the parents can be happy. Same way for husband wife relationship as well. These are the relationships that are suffering the most. One is trying to control the other.

Why is he/ she behaving like that is a common concern or control.

Are we saying that our happiness should depend on our child's behaviour or so on sos behaviour, then you will never be happy. Parent is trying to change the child to make themselves happy. There is lot of controlling goes on by the parent in child's life to change childs personality. Parent controlling the child might create the distance in the relationship. Show them by role modelling if you want them to learn something. Remember they have their karma to follow.
They have their own journey.

But happiness is inside us. We are born with happiness except it is covered with some dust, so meditate to remove the dirt.

Our job is to take care of our children's soul, clothe them, guide them ,look after them but not control them.

There is a generation gap between the child and the parent. If there is disagreement, say your concerns and give your reasons. Be willing to accept, then there is energy flow and keep the communication open and parents should be willing to hear and accept the truth. Do not create walls in the relationships. Stubbornness and resistance can enter very quickly. Things can change slowly but do it lovingly and happily.

Be a mentor, let people be the way they want to be. Every soul has its journey to follow.
Change yourself, do not try changing others lives.

Why am I running all the time?

We live in the fast lane these days and it is not normal to do nothing. "I am busy" is a very common thing you hear.

Do I know what I want? Yes, I do but I still keep running.
"Am I going in the right direction" to get what I want?
You get a lot but but it changes with time like
Marks, job, money, house, children, happiness, love , peace
"What Do I want" stop and ask from time to time.
You do get it but make sure you get it with happiness, peace and love surrounding you.
Happiness is not the destination, it is a journey.
Fun is in having a happy journey.

Why are some people workoholic?

Some people work nonstop and not relax. They say that it relaxes them.

They should ask , " What would happen if they relax their expectations of their work ethics"

Would things fall apart or
would they continue the way things are now or
someone can come and replace them.
They have strong morals and they should reflect the reasons behind their work ethics.

Understand the rationale behind your work ethics may help you to be more effective and healthy human being.

We usually work because we are passionate about it and we love doing it. We work for the genuine motive not for others.

How to protect myself from the negativity of the world?

Say you meditate everyday and you have seen changes within yourself, but now you do not want to get caught in the negativity that is around you,

BE PEACEFUL, LOVING, PURE....that you are, work with your values. Respect yourself then you can give respect to others. Be pure and peaceful so you can share with the people you come in contact with.

If I am empty inside, then I want to be acknowledged. It is our need.

If you feel that no one gives you respect, try giving it first and then see what happens.

Create peaceful atmosphere around you

Create peaceful atmosphere so other souls have a feeling of belonging.
Atmosphere is created by the attitude you hold and the words you speak.
Words have depth when head and heart are aligned.
If you are doing it because your head is ok with it but the heart is not open.
Try to align the two by understanding and making things clear, then heart opens.
Fakeness finishes and that happens with spiritual effort. We embrace reality.
Then comes self respect etc.

How do I respect myself?

When we look within us, there is a conflict going on between our

inherited basic values of love and

painful emotions or the baggage you are carrying from before and

conscious

(i.e I am hurt and I remember pain but I cannot give love but conscious says it is right you should be giving love)

Meditate.

Meditation is a process of cleansing those negative feelings to know the difference between good and bad. . Emotions are a strong force.



We have moved from values.
We should acknowledge values/ ethics / goodness more rather we say whatever is right for you, go ahead and do it.
Values are correct or not, should be acknowledged.

Then you begin to love and respect yourself. I should know who I am.
There should be unity and harmony inside me otherwise mind, intellect and personality can go all over the place.

Chanting, listening to religious music can bring you temporary peace etc, but to respect yourself, follow the voice of conscious and your positive thoughts. Quality of respect will grow if

thinking,
speaking and
doing
is aligned for self respect. Do not ignore inner voice.
This was the message of Mahatma Gandhi.

Happiness and Sadness is inside us.

We spend lot more time at work than at home. Coworkers give us lots of reasons to be unhappy.
You come home and your weekend is spoiled sometimes. They themselves are doing lots of external things like going to a party, play golf, see a movie to be happy. But happiness and sadness is inside us.
It is our birthright to be happy. We are all souls, loving, pure, happy etc... We are all connected. It is when we come in the physical body, we look different, caste different and religion too.

Happiness and sadness is inside us. We do not need to look for happiness outside. Look within and listen to the silence within.

Maintain good feelings in the mind. Follow path and actions for the good of yourself and others.
Giving always bring happiness. Be in the company of God and remember that there is always something new happening and it is always for our benefit.

If some family member made us sad and we hold on to it , then we are trapped in the sadness. Forgive and forget to be free yourself. It will be generous of you to do that.

If we want to teach other lesson, then role model the good path. Forcing will not help.

Should I listen to my heart or brain?

There is a left brain and the right brain. Two parts of the brain should work together. Heart and brain should be aligned. In simple words, align thinking, speaking and doing and listen to your inner voice.

Meditate for cleaning of the baggage of feelings you are carrying, look at those feelings for the motive behind it, then heart will point you in the right direction.

Emotional feelings are a strong force.

Do meditate and connect with the pure feelings that you already have.
Do not get carried away with your feelings. Logic cannot deal with emotions.
Use Meditation.
Pure feelings (of love and truth) and emotions can change the negative feelings and emotions and
bring you back on track.

Example...
You are bit greedy one day and you want to have an extra cookie from the pot luck you are at. You take an extra cookie for yourself and hide it in your purse as your heart wants it. There were only 1 cookie per person. Now you meditate for a minute and connect with your feeling of love and you realise that one person did not get one cookie. You are very loving at this point after you connected with those pure feelings, you take out the cookie and give it to the person and that person is very happy. It changed your negative feeling and pointed in the right direction.

Short Meditation

Be aware that you are a soul. Detach from the physical world, turn your thoughts inward and towards the supreme soul a being of light of love. I connect my thoughts to the supreme. I find myself surrounded by his light. Light envelopes me and I am absorbed in the ocean of love. As the waves of God's love washes me , I feel all the dust that I have accumulated has been cleansed. I discover my own pure self. God's love uplifts me. His love empowers me so I can return to my original state of purity. His love heals the soul and pain and sorrow that I have been carrying is removed. I come back all pure, transformed. I choose to stay in this awareness.

What is my relationship with myself?

We all know the " Human" part which is our gender, height, weight etc and millions will fit into that category. We usually identify with our body.

"Being" is your spiritual part of life or your inner being. It is a internal part like thoughts, emotions, personality that you cannot see but makes you unique.

We only know the physical part but not the inner part which is half the story. Earlier we know, better then we start to live Whole life.

Actually, BEING within has the ownership of this body.

Develop the relationship with your soul. Get to know yourself by meditating.

Listen to your inner messages.

Move On

Try not to keep anything heavy and dirty on your mind. Sometimes we move away from God because situation trapped us and we get angry with God. Do not repeat to your friend again and again or replay in your mind. One of my friend repeat one story after every six months. Situation or the story has changed the scene but she is holding on to it in your mind.

Leave the situation behind.

Elevate your soul so much that people get that illumination from you. It will not happen unless you let go.

Do not talk about it again and again to fill time( may be hard to do)
Do not run the tape in your mind.

Why Am I in so much pain?

Question is why is God making me suffer.

God is like an Ocean of peace. He can never give you pain. Look at the bigger picture. Do not be too closed or blame others. Your world is your own creation.

Develop your relationship with God. It is a two way street. Fine tune your transmitter to make connection with God to catch messages in silence. Be soul conscious and focus on the original qualities and not get distracted by the money, possessions etc.

Meditate to make connection between your soul and the Divine. He is going to cleanse your mind and bring your original qualities back. Every human being has goodness within them. We blossom in the goodness of love, peace, happiness, knowledge, pure etc

God is full of love, he can never give you pain.

Cannot loose weight.

No matter what I do cannot loose weight is what I hear all the time. We have tried weight loss diets, pills, .......name it, we have tried it. Sometimes we loose for a while and then back comes the weight.
Let us see this from yoga philosophy point of view now.
Yoga talks about body consciousness and soul consciousness. We are not trying to feed the soul here. Soul is made of mind, intellect and value system. Feeding the soul would be feeding the mind, intellect and value system.

We are here talking about the body. Think in terms of body consciousness now.

Is my weight because
I am feeding my body or my soul or my mind or my intellect? (Listen internally, try to do distinction)
Answer obviously is body.

When you eat, ask your body
What do you want to eat body?

Answer should come from your body.
Respect hunger but do not just eat anything.
You may eat lot of food and still not satisfied.
Eat what body is asking. I know it is hard for me, but I do try sometimes.

Body may be full, may not be asking anything.
May be you still want to eat because you feel like.
But food will go to body. Stop right there. Body does not want food.....................

If you eat now, will add pounds to your body. It is called comfort eating. Try to find what triggered comfort and find the right way to deal with it in future.


Make your decisions.

No food needed.........
No food needed.........


You can feed your mind with positive thoughts
You can feed your intellect with wise decisions
You may feed your value system with some good hobbies that you have or can go and learn few.
Go to the mall and walk, listen to music, take a nap, take a bath.
Ask yourself, What is the one thing you can do right now that would take your mind off eating?
What can we do without food.

Try reading section on " Silence" connecting your food thoughts to feeling, emotions,belief's,
Conscious, memory, personality traits. you may be able to connect to your habits and why.

I know it is not easy, may be we will fall few times, but get up and walk again.

How do I get rid of not so good feelings.

I am what my past has made me. I may be carrying the feelings that I have not dealt with, it means I am carrying the baggage of those not so good feelings. I may not be a very open person, not giving others chance etc.

How do I cleanse myself?

It is SILENCE. In silence, I connect the silence of my own with the silence of the Divine. God listens to you when you meditate. Silence helps you to go beneath the dust so you can connect with the goodness of being.

How to stop the chattering going on inside.

You may go to a very quiet jungle to avoid noise but there may be chattering going on inside.
Mind create thoughts but we can choose the speed and the quality of thoughts. Practice to move the thoughts in the right direction. You are the incharge of your thoughts , so create good thoughts and create space between thoughts to give you silence and relaxation.

Silence gives us strength and heals us too. Sometimes without realizing we wound ourselves with our own negative thoughts. At that time, quickly generate positive thoughts to come out of hurt.
One minute we may be happy but other minute we may become critical of someone and we become negative.

As negative thoughts come when you see this person, move your thoughts in the + direction.
Try to focus on the pluses of that person, look at her as your brother or sister and remind yourself that we are all souls and connected and use power of silence with gaps. In silence, remind your self that both are souls. Healing happens with that connection.
Power of silence can heal us.

Meditate to slow your thoughts and choose good thoughts.

How to Recognise God?

When You meditate on a regular basis and fine tune your tuner and make connection with him, you get peace, happiness , purity, knowledge, love, clarity, positivity etc makes me feel that he is there watching over me.

Relationships

We have relationship with our mother , father , brother, sisters and friends. They should be nurturing each other in the relationship. But these days it is hard to find those relations. You are very lucky if you have nurturing relations as they also do not last for ever. We cry when our parents die. In relationship, sometimes there are huge expectations from either sides. They are becoming more taking taking kind. We cannot go to jungle or Himalayas and cut off from the world. We have to resolve our karmas here.

We should try to develop relationship with God. It is all in our favour. You will benefit from this relation. Relationship with him does not finish as he never dies. Try visiting him in your mind everyday more often.

Quieten your mind and connect with the divine, it is like a receiver trying to catch the station, when you tune in and connection is made with the Divine, he is going to heal your wounds, clear your minds negativity, empower your soul, fill you with those inner qualities that you own anyway.

Base your identity on your inner being.

We identify ourselves with our job, position of authority, title, wealth. When it is gone, then we feel that our self esteem is gone because our identity is taken away. If all is gone, then our soul is going to go through non healthy feelings. Base your identity on who I am at the inner being level.

Ask yourself "Am I loving, happy, will power person, knowledgeable, blissful soul".
Answers will tell you about your identity.

How to heal the feelings that are not good.

I am what my past has made me. I may be coming with a baggage that I have not dealt with. It means I am carrying lot of negativity. I may be carrying fear, memory of a place or a person that is not so good. The best way to cleanse yourself is by SILENCE.

It is the silence of my own that connects with the silence of the Divine will heal those feelings. Meditation is the path.

It is the silence that helps us to go under the dirt so I connect with the goodness of being. When I connect with love , peace, happiness, all these transforms me from negative to positive person.
Choosing the quality of thoughts and finding the peace within is able to remove the heat of negativity( jealousy, anger...) . If negativity( jealousy) comes in your mind, in silence you always find its remedy which is(love) positive.

Silence is the richness of treasures within.

Let us meditate to remove the pain that we hold on to.

Sit in a comfortable pose. Take your attention away from your body.
I am a being of light.
I feel the presence of Divine of love. happiness , truth of joy around me.
These are waves of love surrounding me. These waves can heal the pain that I am holding on to
as I did not know how to deal with them. Love is like a balm to cool the soul and ease the pain.
Love feeling empowers and nurtures so I can be strong again.
End........

Choosing Thoughts and healing yourself

You can choose the quality of thoughts and speed of thoughts.

Our mind goes through 60,000 thoughts per day. 95% are what we had yesterday. But we are the incharge of this body. I can choose positive thoughts or negative thoughts. Practice to choose the right thoughts and direct them in the right direction. Thought are very powerful.

Negativity of this world is so strong that our thoughts have become negative too.

We do not realize that we wound yourself by thinking how funny this person is ( you are feeling happy)and next minute we start to look at their weaknesses and a minute after we are feeling negative.
Let us try changing this negative thought.

Look at the person and try to look at their pluses by directing your thoughts in the positive direction. Look at her as your brother or sister. Remember, every person has goodness within them. I am a soul and so are they. Relate to them as a part of your family. Sit in silence and change quality of your thoughts to positive. Remind yourself that this person is a soul too. Whatever thought you have for this person, look for a neutalizer(to counteract the effect of this poison) thought in silence for the same person.
So we say that healing happens in silence. It works, try it. Try really hard not to go back to negative thoughts about that person again after 2 days. It is hard work, I know it.

Silence helps us to go beneath the dust( negativity) so I can connect with the goodness of being ( which is love, happiness, knowledge, will power).

Try this meditation on choosing positive thoughts.

Sit in a comfortable pose.
Detach yourself from your body. You are who runs this body.
Watch your thoughts on the screen of your mind. Speed of it will slow the thoughts down.
I select my thoughts of peace. Peace is my natural state. Peace is within me. I am a being of peace. Let peace reach out to the world.
Peace peace peace.......
I am going back to my physical body and I keep peace with me.
Done.............meditation.

What is Intellect ?

Intellect should be still and stable. It is soul when it does the job of deciding wisely.

Purify your intellect by opening your third eye.

God's company opens our inner eyes called divine eye and gives us wisdom called divine intellect.

Intellect means follow your fathers footsteps. You say to God that you are my father and mother. But these physical form fathers and mothers die. God is your father and mother who does not die. To summarize it...

1. Remember God and follow his footsteps. Impressions from the previous life or bad karmas will be dissolved.
2. Make real effort to become as pure as gold is. Listen to God and implement his teachings. Do not get too attached to physical things. When you die, you will be going with nothing.
3. Get rid of negativity from your life so you can do positive things in life for yourself and others. Help yourself and others will benefit too.

Intimidated by authority or by accomplished people

Do you feel less of a person when you meet people in authority or very accomplished people?
Do you get mental and physical tension in their presence?
Are you uncomfortable beside those people who overawe you?

Distribution of wealth, power and authority has very little to do with your inner values of your soul.

When you meet them, remind yourself that you are born with happiness , love, bliss, will power , knowledge too just like other human beings. They are also trying to cope and survive in this physical world but born with same qualities as you are. Their innate needs are same as ours.


We all are worthy of respect and consideration.

Raised as an Independent person but work as a team

We have to blend them. Sometimes you have to be independent and sometimes as a team for the collective goodness. In physical world, you co operate and get the job done , but in the subtle world, you have to show your cooperation by having the right attitude, right thoughts and feelings (thinking).

When you change your attitude towards a person, person actually changes.

I create the world around me through my perception. Thoughts are seeds. Attitude is the highest kindness. If that is right , everything should go right.

In cooperation, you adjust your attitude towards a person or an issue. Like I am passionate about negativity. I have to be willing to overlook the weaknesses of the people to achieve my objective.

To have a common vision, remember

1. Cooperation
It is a path of life long learning. Everyone you encounter teaches us something.

2. Be a server
I serve through my attitude, thought and feelings. But I must connect with the divine to serve myself first so I have the right attitude etc. Meditation is the key.

3. Trust and have faith
God works through us. Do not let EGO come in.

4. Communication
So people know why and aware of a good vision of yourself .

Can we live without experiencing any sorrow? ............... Good vision

God Says.....

Do not JUDGE others. You cannot say she is right or he is wrong. You are not a lawyer or a judge.
Do not INTERFERE in others business, people and situations.
You grew up in a home of peace.
God teaches us to speak less.
He watches us 24 hours.
Clean your heart first.
Learn to open your third eye ( eye of wisdom, eye of intellect).
Stay in silence if you need strength.
Teach your mind to be peaceful. Stay in a good company, otherwise it will affect your personality.
Develop relationship with me and get all the benefits. Relation with God in eternal. Implement his teachings in your life. All your bad karmas will be forgiven.
Make real effort to become like real gold. Become so pure and truthful and positive, loving, happy that it removes all the rust ( bad karmas) from your soul.

Feeling safe

When a little boy walks with his father at night , he feels very protected as none can snatch things from him or no one can bully him. Same way, when we walk with God, we have good company and we have the protection .

We are born with love ,power , peace, happiness, knowledge, purity, bliss. I own them. This is my property. Jealousy , greed etc surrounds our soul. We feel we have no power. We cannot make connection with God. Make an effort to get rid of greed, jealousy. Think of yourself as a soul. then you can connect with the God. If you think yourself as a body, then you think of all kinds of stuff in your mind when you meditate and you cannot connect with God. Thoughts of your mother, father, shopping etc comes in your mind because you are focused on body consciousness. So think of God in soul consciousness.

Bring out your inner powers which is your property by getting rid of other negative stuff and then you know that you are walking with God and you have his protection.
Do meditate in soul consciousness.

Meaning of Silence

• Silence means peace, love, happiness, bliss, willpower, knowledge and purity. You emit those vibrations around you is you practice silence. People will tell you that from time to time.
• Scientist apply their intellect in silence to do new inventions.
• Power comes from staying in silence. Have faith and you will find solutions in silence. God teaches us to speak less. God answers their prayers in silence as a miracle happens inside. All you have to do is develop relationship with him by visiting him more often.
• If you get so much from God in your life, try doing something for him in this life. Inner voice is very powerful and determined. It will make it possible for you. Try it once for his sake. I had so many excuses when I wanted to volunteer, guess it has worked out every single time. Do it unconditionally.

Develop interest in silence and you will have lots of benefits.

Tapasyya

Inner work or soul work is called "Tapasyya".
It means you meditate, stay in silence, focus on God's teaching, get knowledge from God,
He is getting this work done through your body, attention is to body purification and soul purification, silence, fasting, following yoga and self control.

After this, soul is purified, gain knowledge from God and are ready to spread the knowledge to the world.

Power To Withdraw

It does not mean to avoid or getaway as we all think but to disengage from the physical self and engage with the inner identity. You can use this when you come home tired from work. You withdraw from the world and be meditative to regain energy. Your boss is yelling at you, withdraw and be there and connect with your inner qualities to draw strength.

You can withdraw at work with your eyes open to connect with your inner qualities like love, peace etc 1minute per hour just to come back with more energy and with a different perspective on things. It is also called meditation or the power to withdraw from my own story.

You are in a car accident. People are hurt. Disengage from the accident( no anger, yelling etc) just be an observer and stay connected with your inner self, get energy and reengage and do whatever needs to be done like calling doctor etc. Remember no one wants to hit intentionally.

You will be a Saint if you stay stable during crises time.

Let us review all of them.

• Power to withdraw is like to withdraw strength from your saving account. It helps to experience joy by connecting with it.
• Power of detachment means you are physically there but as an observer.
• Power to tolerate means to stay in the battlefield,or hang on by not giving up, it means power to give.
• Power to face is power to confront your own weaknesses and responsibilities.

When to face and when to withdraw depends on the situation.

Taken from teachings of Brahma Kumaris

Where is Laxmiji and Lord Krishna

These are Indian deities or divine souls. Hindus pray to them. These are pure souls. When Universe started, these pure souls came on the ground as pure souls. With rebirth , they get bit impure and again rebirth, got more impure as they are here as human being looking like us now. Those souls have turned from ordered state to disordered state. They need to be purified like all us. I could be one of them.
So Laxmiji is like an ordinary women now, but we say that do so good karmas that you become like a divine soul from an ordinary soul.

Past Imprint ( sanskars)have a very big impact.

Try having a meeting with 15 people and one idea. There will be 15 different opinions. It is because everyone's response is according to their imprints (past recordings also called Sanskars).

Thoughts come from your personality. Then your intellect decides whether it is good or bad decision and then you take action then impression on the soul is formed called the recording( imprint).

Now if thought comes , it bypasses intellect as we are beating the clock these days, and action gets taken without traffic controlling done by intellect then it means our intellect is asleep, the bad habit can get stronger and stronger.

Meditate to awaken the conscious (intellect).

To break a habit, break pattern between thought and action by waking up our intellect..

Intellect is your check point like traffic light. If no traffic( intellect) light, there is chaos..

Silence

Thoughts come from all different places, could be from your brain, impulse from the soul, information etc. People are too afraid to sit in silence as thoughts will come in your mind and they do not want to be left alone with their thoughts.

First you become aware of your

Thoughts, then
Feelings
Emotions
Belief's
Consciousness
Memory( from the past)
Personality( all imprints acquired in your journey)

These are all recorded in the soul not in the body. If soul is gone, body cannot work.
