CURING THE DIS-EASE OF BODY MIND AND SOUL

THE DIS-EASE OF BODY, MIND, AND SOUL

Today the world we have created is busy, materialistic, more credit given to proving oneself and pleasing others. This trend has not helped or supported us in anyway. More and more of us are facing diseases of the body, mind, and spirit. So we start searching for medicines to heal ourselves, and in our search since we have never thought of ourselves to be wise or worthy, we search for relief outside ourselves. There is no wisdom or healing outside ourselves. The true medicine for all diseases of body, mind and spirit are in us. We have the power to give these medicines for ourselves. The true medicines are love and kindness towards oneself, trusting our wisdom, understanding that we are worthy to live a wonderful life, and the most important is to realize that every single cell in our body has an individual soul, a presence, and a wisdom of its own. For so many years of our lifetime we have been present for so many people, our bosses, our teachers, our spouses, parents, children and so on, but now it is time that we take time to be present for ourselves. It is powerful to be present for ourselves, powerful to talk to our cells by trusting in their wisdom. When we are aware and awake and present for ourselves, we create the most wonderful reality which is our birthright as beloved children of the Universe. Affirmations, meditations, and visualizations are the grandest tools for healing body, mind, and spirit.

Blessings!

AN AFFIRMATION/MANTRA/DESERVABILITY TREATMENT (from Louise Hay)

I am deserving. I deserve all good. Not some, not a little bit, but all good.
I now move past all negative, restricting thoughts.
I release and let go of the limitations of my parents. I love them, and I go beyond them. I am not their negative opinion, nor their limiting beliefs.
I am not bound by any of the fears or prejudices of the current society I live in.
I no longer identify with limitations of any kind.
In my mind, I have total freedom. I now move into a new space of consciousness, where I am willing to see myself differently.
I am willing to create new thoughts about myself and about my life. My new thinking becomes new experiences.
I now know and affirm that I am at one with the Prospering Power of the Universe. As such, I now prosper in a number of ways. The totality of possibilities lies before me.
I deserve life, a good life.
I deserve love, an abundance of love.
I deserve good health.
I deserve to live comfortably and to prosper.
I deserve joy and happiness.
I deserve freedom to be all that I can be.
I deserve more than that, I deserve all good.
The Universe is more than willing to manifest my new beliefs. And I accept this abundant life with joy, pleasure, and gratitude. For I am deserving. I accept it; I know it to be true.

WHAT IF?

WHAT IF?

What if our religion was each other?

If our practice was our life?

If prayer was our words?

What if the Temple was the Earth?

If forests were our church?

If holy water—the rivers, lakes and oceans?

What if meditation was our relationships?

If the Teacher was life?

If wisdom was self-knowledge?

If love was the center of our being

ALLOW GRATITUDE TO HAPPEN

ALLOW GRATITUDE TO HAPPEN
(An Excerpt from my book "Twelve Steps to Inner Peace")

Gratitude is not a concept of the mind. Gratitude arises only from quiet contemplation and observation. Gratitude arises when we move into the space of becoming the observer, noticing every moment of existence, noticing the grace and favor bestowed upon us, noticing the eternal goodness of life, and moving into thespace of joy, love and excitement.
True Gratitude cannot be toward anything as gratitude happens for the All. When we live from the place of immense trust and surrender, every single aspect of life becomes sacred, the breath becomes holy, the body becomes holy, the ground we walk on becomes holy, every created being becomes holy, and every encounter with life becomes a sacred encounter. I am reminded of the words of Thich Nhat Hanh:
“Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet.”
Nature and all of creation have been created to serve us, the Creator is serving us in the most wonderful ways, and do we stop to appreciate the Creator? If only we took the time to truly stay and watch and listen, we would come to appreciate and thank the Creator for all of the kind service given to us. I have noticed that appreciation and gratitude are the greatest portals that take us closer to the heart of the Creator.
At one time during my meditative state I asked the Creator, “How may I serve you more,” and I was stunned and shocked to receive this answer loud and clear:
“Please allow me to serve you.”
My heart wept with the understanding of this powerful message. I understood that I had been keeping a distance from the Creator thinking that I was born to serve the Creator and that I was not worthy to come closer to the Creator. After I received the message, I understood that the Creator was waiting to serve me, to please me with all of the most beautiful things around me in my life, and to keep me in love, joy, and excitement. And here I was, more worried about my service to the Divine by diligently praying and meditating, taking life so seriously, and forgetting to laugh or to be in joy. I realized that the greatest gift I can give the Creator is my joy. The Creator has gifted us this body, mind, the entire planet, and all the beautiful creations on it for us to enjoy and appreciate. The best gift we can give to the Creator is not any physical thing; it is our Joy.
As human parents, when we see our children living happy lives, it gives us extreme satisfaction; it is the same with the Creator.
When we live in gratitude, we see life as endless Joy, and joy is the greatest gift we can give to the Creator.

Blessings!

THOUGHTS ON THIS OUR LIFE JOURNEY

THOUGHTS ON THIS OUR LIFE JOURNEY

Your Higher Self which is your Mighty I AM Presence is as close to you as your very next breath, when you place your hand on your heart with gratitude you instantly connect with your Mighty I AM Presence, you Higher Self. Your Higher Self is the powerful part of you that lives both within you and also in the higher dimensions, it contains the wisdom of the Universe, it is your guide and protector. Your I AM Presence is constantly revealing to you the grand knowledge of the ages. Your life time on this Planet is a very special journey, all the people you meet, and all the people you interact with are bits and pieces of the puzzle of the vast knowledge of your soul, all the books you read, all the movies or videos watched are a part of the revelation of your life memories, they provide grand reminders. The mind does not understand these things, the mind seeks proof, magic, importance and special treatment. The mind constantly tends to judge every situation and person because it has no knowledge about the mysteries of the soul.

But the actual miracle is the knowledge revealed to you by your Higher Self, where in times of need or in times of creating solutions, you automatically deal with things in a wonderful way beyond your imagination that would make you wonder from where you got the knowledge. Every person, every situation and every place at any given moment has been divinely orchestrated for our expansion in consciousness, and to gather and know the wisdom of the Universe. Hence it is important to choose to be in mindful awareness of our moments and choose to be in constant connection with our Higher Self, the God within. Placing the a hand on the physical heart and with immense gratitude saying the mantra ""I TRUST YOU MY HIGHER SELF" creates immense blessing in this our life journey.
You are the MIRACLE, you are the Divine soul that resides in this beautiful body, you are the creator and the created, this is the mystery of life, and living in mindful awareness helps to realize this mystery.
Blessings!

ALL RELATIONSHIPS BEGIN FROM LOVING THE SELF

ALL RELATIONSHIPS BEGIN FROM LOVING THE SELF 

To have harmonious relationships outside the self, one must first heal the relationship within the self. Relationship with oneself begins by loving and accepting oneself completely. We are responsible for our happiness absolutely. No one can make us happy or sad as it is our freewill to make ourselves happy or sad. We look at the world from our perception and we create our reality from the meaning we choose to give to life.

When we learn to love and accept ourselves completely, humility is born. Humility is emptying oneself of all of the stories of the past. Removing all of the labels of who or what we think we are. It is a most challenging journey and it is the journey to transformation. Without loving and accepting the self, one cannot understand humility. If we try to practice humility before loving and understanding the self, we will tend to live from the stories of woundedness, self pity, and lack of self esteem. Many times we give the meaning of humble to be weak.

Humility is not about weakness or lack of self esteem. Humility is power through emptying the self of past stories in order to allow the LOVE of the Creator to flow through. You cannot truly receive when you are full of the past stories of the I as the story of the I completely fills you and there is no space for the Creator anywhere.

Humility is the place of complete emptiness – emptiness to a sense of I. As long as there is an I, there is the control of the ego mind. The I likes to give but not to receive, it likes to keep memories, it likes to keep accounts, it summarizes and compares, and it thinks that it is all knowing. Only when we learn to drop the I, do we become the empty cup where the Divine Presence can fill us. We cannot receive if we are full of the I. We continue to give, to interact from the place of I, and we never know to receive. Receiving love, grace, and kindness from people around us and from the divine becomes very difficult when we do not empty the I in ourselves. The foundation for a true relationship is in giving and receiving as relationships must be balanced with giving and receiving. If there is no one to receive what you give, how will you be able to give it, how will you come to know what generosity is, and what love is. A true relationship is born from dropping the I, to let go of control, and to let go of the past and all of its stories of hurt and distress.

Only when we drop the stories of the past, we will become empty to receive, enjoy, and savor love. A relationship with the Creator or with anyone outside the self is fulfilled only when we have relaxed into the place of emptying, allowing, and accepting.

Blessings!

THE ONLY TRUE LOVE AFFAIR IS THE ONE WE HAVE WITH OURSELVES

THE ONLY TRUE LOVE AFFAIR IS THE ONE WE HAVE WITH OURSELVES

We deplete our energy by attaching to our judgments about the world. Instead of healing ourselves, we start searching for that perfect person who would love and understand us and complete us in all of the ways that we could not. In our search, we demand that our parent, spouse, or children validate the caring, the love, the nurturing, the acceptance, and the respect that we are not giving ourselves. That is why we want them to behave according to our ideals and our concepts. We try to mold them to our whims and fancies, and we create discord in our relationships when they are not what we want them to be. We never get to truly know them or see them as they are as we constantly seek to see them only from our ideals. Hence, we lose the joy of knowing the true person in our lifetime.

Each person is a universe unto themselves. Each person can understand only their own story. No one can ever understand another person’s story, and even if they do understand, it will only be from their perspective. Therefore, no one will be able to love or understand you the way that you want. Realizing this is a grand freedom. Realizing this we come to the understanding that the only person who can love and understand us the way we want is our own self. We are the ones we are seeking. The only true love affair is what we have with ourselves. The experience of love and understanding cannot come from anyone outside us; it can only come from within us. I cannot tell you truly that I love you, all I can say is “I love me more when I am with you” or “I love me more for having created you in my space.”

We are one hundred percent responsible for our own happiness; no one has authority over our life as only we have the authority. By noticing the concepts and thoughts that we attach to, we realize that no one can frighten us – it is our own doing. The world is a projection of our thinking. So when we understand our thinking, we understand the world. When we are at peace within ourselves, the world is at peace. When we love ourselves, there is clarity in our mind and through clarity we can see that all is good. We are all absolutely safe, and there are no mistakes in the Universe.

Blessings!

RESOLVING DISCORD AND CREATING GRANDNESS

RESOLVING DISCORD AND CREATING GRANDNESS

Do you notice repeated occurrences in life, the very situation we try to avoid comes back and visits us again and again ? Even if we try to change our place, our jobs, our relationships, even if we try to hide, the same situation comes back to visit us in another person, or in another form. Sometimes we try to help someone resolve a bad situation, and suddenly we find ourselves in the same situation.

If we contemplate on this deeply, it is clearly revealed that that which we continue to judge and condemn becomes our shadow and stays with us, till we choose to accept the responsibility for creating it and resolve it with forgiveness and understanding.

The world is our mirror, there is no other here, there is only one of us.
The mirror smiles if we smile and it scowls if we scowl at it.
Every situation or person we perceive on the outside is an expression of the consciousness we hold on the inside.
So at this moment if you have someone in front of you who is radiating love and peace, then it is the consciousness that you hold inside which is responsible for it, and in the same way if you are experiencing irritation and discord of what is happening in front of you then it is again because of the consciousness that you are holding on the inside. No person, no situation has the power to make us sad, angry, irritated or peaceful, we are the authors and executors of these things absolutely.

Till we resolve the discordant situation with forgiveness, understanding, and non-judgment, the situation will continue to appear in one form or other in our life.
We have fallen into a deep sleep of unconsciousness and continue to play the blame games of believing that everything on the outside is the reason for all bad situations in life. Waking up to the truth that we are 100% responsible for everything that is happening around us is the most powerful key.

To begin to see the reflection of the physical reality we want, the first step is to see everything on the outside as a reflection on a mirror. when you look at your reflection in the mirror, you know that you are not really inside the mirror. So if you need to change the reflection in the mirror, you do not go to the mirror to change the reflection, you change yourself in order to see a change in the mirror's reflection. Any change in the outer reality must begin from the inner reality, within your consciousness, which is your state of being.

True meditation is taking time to sit with yourself and noticing the thoughts that do not support you, question them, see them from the place of understanding and let them go. We are the masters of our life; the captains of our ship; and we absolutely have the choice to create our world the way we want it to be.
Let us choose to take responsibility for our creations. We are the bringers of wisdom, radiance, and peace for this Planet. Let us choose to play this game of "life" wisely.
Blessings!
