CREATIVE POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD

As humans we have created language to communicate with each other. The spoken word is something that would touch a person and create a response in them. Language is a powerful tool that carries emotions, codes, and tones that produce a powerful creative energy. We are who we are today because of all the words we thought, spoke, or listened to. Words spoken are very powerful, they become self-fulfilling prophecy. Words thought do not have as much power as words spoken. Spoken words carry tones and codes which manifest. Words have the power either to create life or to create death. So you can either bless your life with your words or curse your life with your words.




One of the Buddhist Gatha (a Gatha is a poem which serves as a reminder for every activity of life) says:-



"Brushing my teeth and rinsing my mouth,



I vow to speak purely and lovingly.



When my mouth is fragrant with right speech,



A flower blooms in the garden of my heart."



Our spoken words can build a world of peace and joy or it can build hatred and discord.



With this reminder let us choose to bless each other with our words, let us use our words to talk about solutions and not create stories of our problems. Let our words bring out the truth in us and others, let us not use untruthful words for self-interest or to impress others. Let us not use the power of our words to gossip, criticize or to condemn.



Let us use our spoken words to declare Divine Favor, to call in the light of understanding, to call in good things, to call in faith and love.



Let us use the spoken word for truth and kindness. Let us nourish each other with the sweet fragrance of rght speech, so that the flowers in the garden of our Heart can bring "Heaven" on Earth. Let us remind ourselves that we are the builders of 'Heaven' on this Planet.



Blessings!

NAMASTE/NAMASKARAM

Namaste to you my Sweet Friends!




NAMASTE!



'Namaste' is a wonderful way of greeting each other.



This word is a sacred Sanskrit word, originated in India, that has a deep meaning.



'Namaste' is a salutation done when people meet each other, in South India the word is said as 'Namaskaram'.



The deeper meaning of this beautiful word is powerfully awakening human consciousness.



Namaste or Namaskaram means "I acknowledge that my body is the temple where the Divine resides, and I also acknowledge that your body is a temple for the Divine, and so the Divine in me salutes the Divine in you".



'Namaste/Namaskaram' is said by looking into the eyes of the person in front of you, folding your palms in front of your heart and gently bowing your head. In this way you salute the Divine.



This is a powerful way of reminding one another to love God in the other person.



The extent to which you can love another human being absolutely depends on the extent to which you are connected with respect and gratitude to your own Divine Essence.



NAMASTE TO YOU MY SWEET FRIENDS!



Blessings,

LIVING EFFORTLESSLY; LIVING FROM THE HEART


It is a powerful spiritual practice to connect with our physical hearts.
Placing our awareness on our heart connects us to our "God within", our heart is the gateway to Universal Wisdom.



The physical experience of conscious breathing and bringing the pressure and warmth of the hand on the heart, opens the heart and allows us access to our 'Spiritual Home', our 'Kingdom within'.



Experience this moment now, bring your hand to your physical heart and take in deep conscious breath releasing it with a sigh or a sound. This connects you powerfully to your heart space which holds understanding, wisdom and awareness.



Practice being in this moment, this moment of the heart space and you will be amazed by the transformation that happens to you.



Practice for the enrichment of energy and transformation, practice whenever there is worry or anxiety, when you need a solution to a problem. As you continue to work with your heart you will naturally connect with your Divine Blueprint, your Divine Wisdom, and your Divine Light.



Living in conscious connection with the heart is true living; life flows effortlessly with ease and grace.



Blessings!

CONSCIOUS RESPECT FOR WORK




The things we do with our body-mind are our creations in this physical realm. We lived before we came into this body, we took this human body at this time so that we may satisfy our Divine longing to do things in the physical. The body comes and goes but who we are is an eternal spark of the Creator that can never be damaged or destroyed.



We are great Spirit beings who come to live for a short time in a human body on this beautiful Planet. This is our opportunity to anchor our Divine Qualities of love, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, patience, generosity, and gratitude on the Planet.



The moment we enter the planet in a physical body we absolutely forget our Spirit selves, and create a new chapter called “life on Planet Earth”. Our new body-minds start to develop, and the body-mind does not remember. But the heart that carries Divinity in its sacred sanctuary remembers and knows everything.



Practicing the art of awareness, bringing conscious awareness into every walk of life helps us to connect with our hearts and helps us to remember our mission here on Planet Earth.

We have been given this body-mind to work, to serve others, this Planet and ourselves. Are we conscious of our work at this moment? Every act of work whether cooking, cleaning, washing dishes, doing the laundry, taking care of children, teaching, working in an office, selling products, or working on a computer, writing a book, talking to people, construction work, serving, tending, farming, gardening etc., is a profound gift we give ourselves and this planet. Our work is a kind of worship; it is an attitude of gratitude we give to the Creator for this beautiful experience on this Planet.




When we bring our conscious awareness to the work we do, we are merging the Divine Qualities of Spirit with matter and we are building “Heaven” on Earth. No work is insignificant; every work we do with our body-mind is a MIRACLE, it is a beautiful gift. When we bring our consciousness into the work we do, we become aware of the perfectness every moment, we then do not need anyone else to appreciate us for what we do, and we can never see our work as being low or high. We realize that the place, time, the body-mind, the people around us, and the work we do have been Divinely Orchestrated.



It has become a human sickness to believe that we work hard for others, for a boss, for an institution, for a country, etc. and this very belief makes our work drudgery. Another belief that work is for earning money makes people addicted to work. But the Greater truth is that we work for ourselves, every act of work is an opportunity to expand ourselves, it is an opportunity for kindness to our fellow beings, it is an opportunity to harvest knowledge through this grand experience. When we realize this we will always respect the work we do, our work will never be about harming or destroying, our work will always be about building and uplifting. Being grateful every moment, and holding the joy of doing work in a physical body uplifts our Spirit, we open ourselves to knowledge and wisdom, and we allow our body-mind to grow in all our God-Qualities. Our work then becomes true worship.



Let us choose to respect ourselves, and the work we do everyday.



Blessings!

CONSCIOUS EATING






Every particle of food we eat become us. It enters the body and becomes the cells and tissues of our body. So if we do not respect the food we eat then we do not respect our very own bodies. When we eat food and are concentrating on our worries or watching the television where there are depressing stories being told, or talking about depressing things with our friends, we are actually eating our sorrows and worries, and they go into the body and react in the body as dis-ease. Our bodies go into dis-ease because of the constant mindlessness, and then it makes us to slow down to think about what has gone wrong.



If we take time to sit down at every meal and look at our food consciously we will know that every grain of rice, wheat, corn, animal, or plant has willingly given its life for our bodies to live. What an amazing sacrifice this is! Realizing this is enough to make us be in the place of immense Gratitude for all these beautiful beings around us.



Our bodies are sacred temples where the Divine resides, if we do not realize this and continue to feed our bodies with things that are not in harmony with it then we go in for all kinds of physical, mental, and emotional problems. Every addiction is due to mindlessness.




Humans are powerful beings born with the gifts of love, compassion, kindness, gentleness, intuition, and the power to heal themselves. Unless we consciously connect with ourselves all these gifts that we have brought with us will never be revealed.

Our bodies have great intelligence; if we take time to respect our body and listen to our body we will evolve our grand gifts.



Taking time to loving touch and prepare our food is very important; the love and conscious connection we have with our food adds a miraculous spice to the food. The food becomes enriched with healthy and happy energy. The food tastes good.

When we sit down and eat our food consciously tasting and loving each bite we are adding immense healing energy and we will never over eat or under eat, and we will never put things into our body that does not resonate with the body, also we will never get addicted in anyway. When we eat consciously we allow all the senses of the body (smell, taste, touch, hearing, seeing) to take part in the awesome creation of the experience of eating food! It becomes a Grand Experience! An experience that creates contentment for the body and mind!



I have witnessed people get out of diseases, loose unwanted weight, even get out of addiction when they sincerely take time to respect themselves and their food, and consciously savor the experience of eating food.



I find it very satisfying when I eat silently by totally concentrating on every mouthful and affirming in my mind “I enjoy every food I eat, I love every cell of my body”. I have personally witnessed and experienced the enormous healing for body, mind, and spirit through this exercise.



Let us choose to respect our food, our bodies and our Planet. Let us create “Heaven” on Earth.



Blessings!

CONSCIOUS HUGGING


Hugging is one of the greatest joys of being a human being. When we hug another human being, an animal, or a tree, with total awareness, our hearts connect and bring immense healing and happiness.

Our hands are the extensions of our hearts and when we embrace with our hands we accommodate the entirety of another being into our hearts. I simply thrill when I watch my hands, I am so much in gratitude for my hands that bless me everyday, my hands take care of me, they feed me, they dress me, they comb my hair, they make things for me and the best of all they help me to hug other beings with my heart!



Our hearts are the sacred sanctuary where the Divine resides, the sacred sanctorium of our body temple.

Hugging mindfully brings the awareness that we consider each being as sacred and we bring their Divine essence into the sacred place of our hearts.



Our conscious breath enables us to feel from our hearts, breathing in and breathing out the sacred Presence of the other brings the realization of the gift of this Present moment, the gift of togetherness, the gift of the silent support we give each other in this Planet of Beauty.

Every conscious hug brings one to the Present moment, a moment that makes us aware to be mindful, a moment that shows us the sacred in every life, a moment that shows us the ease and grace of life beyond language, a moment that creates healing and reconciliation. It also brings with it an opportunity to bless another being from our hearts. The blessing can be silent or in language acknowledging the preciousness of the other being.




Conscious hugging brings a powerful connection that can never be destroyed, a connection that stays sacred in our hearts long after the physical form has dissolved.



Let us choose to bring this sacred connection into our lives. Let us choose to hug every being with sacred love from our heart center, let us choose to give this gift to ourselves and to the Planet.

Blessings!

CONSCIOUS BREATHING




You are LIFE. You come to know that you are life only when you are aware of your breath. Many a times we go through the busyness of our human situations without giving another thought to our breath. But we all know that we are now here only because of the breath, if the breath is taken away then we do not exist on the Planet anymore.



All religious, spiritual, meditative, and therapeutic practices talk about the breath as the way to health, wellbeing, self-discovery, and self-transformation.



Placing one's awareness on the breath is a powerful way to connect with our body, with our inner world. The ego-mind is constantly busy, keeping us rooted either in the past negative happenings or in the worry about the future. Placing awareness on the breath is the only way to be released from this sickness of the mind.



One conscious breath can overpower the thoughts and stop them.

Start to practice being aware of the breath without making any change to slow it down or speed it up in any way. Just bring attention and awareness to the sensation of breathing without imposing any changes. This kind of relaxed awareness takes us deeper into the sensations and feelings of the body. Strangely, this awareness is so powerful that when we are breathing there are absolutely no thoughts. Then as awareness on the breath increases, our breath rises and falls from the nostrils to the belly. A person who is anxious always breathes shallow from the chest alone. Breathing from the belly is so powerfull healing for body, mind, and soul. The body, the brain, and the immune system is rejuvenated with more oxygen.



The Vedas say that when you breathe consciously, the breath that enters your body becomes the Prana -the vital life sutstaning energy of the Creator.



Being aware and conscious of the breath brings us to the realization that we are absolutely being breathed, we do not need to do anything to breathe, we are being lived, life lives through us every moment. It is humbling to notice that we are not the doers of anything, we are just a collection of patterns and memories. This liberates us from the thought that we are separate selves. It brings immense peace and freedom in the knowing that we are being breathed, moved, and lived every moment.




Breathing consciously we bring ourself to the Present Moment, to the freedom from the unconsciousness of the ego. Conscious breathing is a loving action, a most powerful gift we can give ourselves!



With each conscious breath we choose life, we choose love, we choose to liberate ourselves from the many burdens we carry. It is our birthright to be alive, to be loved, to be in the Present Moment.

Blessings!
