SACRED HUMAN CONNECTIONS

SACRED HUMAN CONNECTIONS
(An Excerpt from my book "Twelve steps to Inner Peace")

The last frontier of humanity is not the evolution of technology, but it is the evolution into Higher Consciousness. The projected world outside is the mirror image of the world inside. Every relationship becomes a tool for the evolvement of Higher Consciousness.
To become fully conscious of the true self, we need to understand that every single human being that comes into our space is a true reflection of us. If the person shows beauty, grace and wisdom, they are truly reflecting us, if they show greed, selfishness, or cruelty; they are also truly reflecting us. We live our lives denying our dark side. One of the most important spiritual practices is to acknowledge our dark side and understand that a person with dark qualities comes into our lives in order for us to bring this quality into the light. The moment we acknowledge and forgive the dark side in us, and willingly embrace both the light and dark sides of ourselves, we come to a better understanding of the Universal consciousness, and we begin to heal ourselves and our relationships.
Healing ourselves can happen only by aligning ourselves with our Divine Presence. The more we align ourselves, the more we will love and be in joy with ourselves. We will start enjoying our own company because our life will no longer be mind-ridden as it will be from the place of devotion to the Divine. Life becomes an overflowing joy for no reason, joy becomes our true nature, and we do not need to depend on anyone to bring us joy or comfort. We become a well spring of joy, and our joy is so infectious that it embraces all life in unconditional love.
Aligning with Divinity every day helps us to be aware of the mind stories and to drop them. Letting go the mind stories and letting go of searching for reasons, we come into our freedom from suffering. Duality of the world is not the suffering, but the mind stories about the duality is the cause of suffering.
Every human relationship is also a creation from our consciousness. As souls we choose our parents and families to be born into and as we start growing up, our consciousness chooses to bring people into our lives for us to relate, interact and grow with. When we are living from the mind story, we start judging, comparing, competing, blaming, and finally suffering with our relationships.
According to the words of Rumi:
“The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.”
People do not come into our lives by chance or by accident. From our deep consciousness we create them in our life. We call unto their souls to come and play with us. When we are in alignment with our Divine Presence, we relate to people with gratitude and respect. Our joy and unconditional love overflows and helps our partners and us to grow in wisdom and to expand in consciousness.
Every human is unique. Every person lives in his or her own mind created world, and every person has his or her own ideas, thoughts, and concepts. Every human relationship is sacred because every relationship triggers a conflict with the mind stories. You are not even aware of your mind stories until someone comes along to challenge them. If you are living attached to your mind stories, much conflict and confusion will be created. But when you choose to align with your Divine Presence, you will be lead to drop your mind stories through the light of understanding. You will then be your own savior and you will not hold people responsible for your happiness. You will be aware that the sacredness of every human relationship is to help you to grow in wisdom and understanding.

Blessings!

A Reminder

POWERFUL REMINDER

Every human relationship is sacred. Relationships founded on obligations or expectations are stressed and lack freedom and love. A perfect loving relationship is the one where there are no demands, no expectations, and no dependency.
I am reminded of the Gestalt Prayer

I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I,
and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.

(Fritz Perls, "Gestalt Therapy Verbatim", 1969)

STOPPING MEDITATION

STOPPING MEDITATION

A message from Neale Donald Walsch

There are many ways to meditate, and it was a wonderful discovery when I learned this. One of the most powerful forms of meditation for me is what I have called Stopping Meditation. The reason this is so powerful for me is that it can be done anywhere, and it takes very little time. Therefore, it is perfect for busy people "on the go."

Stopping Meditation means just that. It means we stop whatever we are doing for just a moment and pay attention to something about it. We dissect it in that moment, and then look closely at one of its individual pieces.

Stopping Meditation can be used in the midst of a very busy day.

Here is how Stopping Meditation works.

Decide that six times today (and every day) you will stop whatever you are doing for 10 seconds and look closely and intently at one of its component pieces.

Let us say you are washing the dishes. Stop what you are doing for 10 seconds-just STOP in the middle of it-and peer deep inside one aspect of what you are doing. Look, perhaps, at the water. See it splashing on the dishes. See if you can count the drops of water on the dish in your hand. Just count the water drops. I know it is an impossible task, but undertake to do it anyway, just for 10 seconds.

Consider the wonder of the water. Look deeply into it. Peer inside. GO inside, in your Consciousness. See what you experience there, see what you find. Just stop for a tiny moment and appreciate that moment in a singular way.

Okay, now the 10 seconds are up. Now pull yourself out of that highly focused reality and back into the larger space of your experience. Don't get "lost" in it. Blink your eyes rapidly, or snap your finger, and literally snap out of it. Then, notice what you experienced for that brief moment.

Now go on with what you were doing. Yet don't be surprised if it takes on a whole new quality.

What you have done is truly appreciate something. To "appreciate" something is to make it larger, to increase it, as property, for instance, appreciates in value.

When you use Stopping Meditation, you increase the value of your life. And of life itself. It has been my experience that this inevitably returns me to a place of peace.

In order to remind yourself to do this six times a day you may wish to have a little timer with you, or set your watch to beep. Later, as you get used to doing this, your stopping will come automatically to you. You will do this without having to be reminded.

Walking down the street, you will simply stop for a moment and select a portion of what you are seeing and see it again, in a deeper way. You will know what you already know about that, but you will know it in a deeper way. This is called "knowing again," or re-cognizing. The purpose of all of your life is simply this: to know again, to recognize, what is true, and Who You Really Are.

There are a thousand ways to do this. Maybe you catch a reflection of yourself in a store window. Maybe you see a bus going by. Perhaps you spy a dog on the street, or a pebble at your feet. It does not matter what you focus on for those 10 seconds. Just stop for a tiny moment and appreciate that moment in a singular way.

Experience this while making love. Stop what you are doing for 10 seconds, separate the moment into its component parts, select one part of the moment and peer deeply into it. Maybe it is the look in your beloved's eyes. Maybe it is a sensation you are feeling-or creating. Just stop for a tiny moment and appreciate that moment in a singular way.

I have regular times when I do this, and making love is one of them. Standing in the shower is another. Eating food is another. Pick up a pea from the plate, or a kernel of corn. Consider it. Appreciate it. Taste it utterly and completely. Your meal times will never be the same. Your showers will never be the same. Your lovemaking will never be the same. YOU will never be the same.

This is Stopping Meditation. It takes one minute a day. Sixty seconds, in six individual installments. Six moments within which you may produce The Holy Experience.

Today, stop what you are doing. Just STOP. Look deeply into the moment. If nothing else, just close your eyes and focus on the sound of your own breath. Experience the pure energy of life moving into and through your body. Just for that moment, listen to yourself breathe. Watch yourself take deeper breaths. Just listening to yourself makes you want to go deeper into the experience-and so you begin to breath more deeply. It is a wonderful thing, an extraordinary thing. Just STOPPING makes you go deeper. Deeper into your experience, deeper into the mind of God.

KINDNESS TO THE PLANET IS KINDNESS TO ONESELF

KINDNESS TO THE PLANET IS KINDNESS TO ONESELF

As we all know our Mother Earth is going through the Great Shift. This huge shift in consciousness, one that occurs once in 26,000 years. And usually in such a shift the entire planet is wiped out of all life, but we chose to stay with the Earth to consciously awaken ourselves. When we connect with the Earth everyday from our heart and mind the Earth will carry us smoothly along the shift, for the Earth is a Great wise being!

"Due to the fall in consciousness we forgot that the Earth and everything around us is very much alive, and very much willing to co-create with us, we thought we needed to make inventions to make things work and make ourselves too busy that we are not available to be there for others or even for ourselves , this further pushed us into the deepest slumber where we do not even understand that we are the sleeping creators of our reality."

Our bodies are borrowed earth, our emotions are borrowed energy, and our thoughts are borrowed information.  Our Earth Mother nourishes us, shelters, clothes and heals us; this Planet is our home and humanity is our family. Everything and anything that we consider to be US is actually stuff borrowed from Mother Earth, so it is wise to choose to live in oneness with the Earth and all its beings, for I believe that this will help us to truly reach home, to the heart of the Creator.

It is time we wake up and take responsibility to cherish and love ourselves, our Planet home and our human family. I have heard that the Tibetan Lama's special ritual everyday is to sit on the ground and touch the Earth with their palms spread wide and send loving thoughts to Mother Earth.  I feel the Earth responds lovingly to their kindness.  Let us choose to be kind to ourselves and to our Planet in every way we can!
Blessings!

HEALING IN THE QUANTUM LEVEL

HEALING IN THE QUANTUM LEVEL

We are beloved children of the Universe, multidimensional beings who live in many parallel and alternate dimensions. We have lived many lifetimes and we collect our wisdom from these experiences and we deal with everyday life situations from these experiences. In this our grand journeys we meet with many people and many many challenging situations, and in every one of these experiences we tend to do the best we can, consciously or unconsciously we make vows, agreements and bonding with people and situations. At certain point in our life now we ask why certain situations are persistently present even after doing a lot of therapies and cleansing.

The truth is that we are powerful beings and nothing and no one has the power to harm us or take away from us unless we give them the power to do so. Everyone of us on Earth are here to participate in the mass awakening of humanity to the truth that our thoughts create our reality, and that it is time for us to wake up and take charge of our life with mindful awareness in these times of turmoil.

At this time many are puzzled by certain unexplainable life situations, recurring nightmares of people, places and situations that they have never experienced in this life time, and dis-eases of the physical body which have no reason and no cures in modern medicine. I have found that working with our issues from the Quantum level brings great relief in many ways. The Quantum K healing video is available on youtube, it is free for all, it is a powerful experience where you can participate in total awareness to bring well being into the physical body, mind, and soul. The link for this :http://www.quantumk.co.uk/quantumk_video.htm

Another way to heal our issues is to connect with our Celestial Soul and ask for guidance, protection and help. We can connect with our soul through deep meditation, and also during the times before waking up and when we are just about to sleep at night, these are times where we are half awake - half asleep, at this time the mind is silent and we are much closer to our Celestial Soul. At this time consciously we can ask our soul for protection, guidance and solutions to our challenges. I have found this to be very beneficial 100% of the time.

Developing the ability to become mindfully aware of what we think, feel, and speak and choosing to structure our life with clarity of thought, word, and deed are most important for living an empowered life. Let us choose to empower ourselves and our fellow beings so that we create well being, beauty, and joy for ourselves and this Planet!

Blessings!

OUR RESPONSE-ABILITY TO LIFE IS TO WAKE UP AND CREATE GRANDNESS

OUR RESPONSE-ABILITY TO LIFE IS TO WAKE UP AND CREATE GRANDNESS

Just the other day I was sharing this thought with one of my young friends who was pregnant with her first child, that when her baby is born she will also be born as a mother, till that time she is only a girl, then when her baby is born the Universe blesses her with every tool to be a mother for that child.

We are beloved children of the Universe, and the Universe takes care of all our needs in amazing ways.  It is wonderful to know that the moment a situation is placed in front of us, the Universe provides us with the capability to deal with it.

This concept is true all the time in every situation.  It may be a situation where we need to pay back our loans, or it may be a challenging exam, or interview, or a challenging relationship, or health problem, anything.

It is my trust and knowing through the many experiences of my life journey that the Universe always provides for us. But it is we who blind ourselves with fearful mind stories about the situation, create and encourage stress thoughts about the situation and constantly try to search for answers from people and things on the outside.

The answer to every situation lies within us, as soon as a challenge presents itself in our space we get embodied with tools and wisdom to capably deal with the challenge.  Since, most of us are asleep to this knowledge we continue to seek for answers outside and most of our society on the outside runs on gossip of exaggeration and fear stories of terror and woundedness about everything.

Since we are asleep, we do not question these fear stories, we continue to believe in them and remain stuck creating stress which affects our body and mind. It is time we choose to wake up to question our fears and choose to connect with our wisdom within.

When we question our fear, our fear thoughts vanish, and when we choose to connect with our wisdom within we create grand solutions for our challenges, these grand solutions are great gifts not only for us but for the collective consciousness of humanity.

There are many many ways to connect with the wisdom within, it involves mindful awareness, knowing that the body and mind are our tools to connect with the world we can become the watchers of our mind , as soon as a watcher appears the fear thoughts vanish.
Choosing moments of silence and conscious awareness during the "busy" times of the day will help us to connect with our wisdom within.
To practice silent mindfulness, we can observe our breath for sometime, while observing ones breath surprisingly the thoughts vanish.
 We can choose to do simple things with complete enjoyment like take a walk in nature, hug a tree, lie on the grass, talk to a flower, play with an animal, go to a park and hear the laughter of children, notice fish swim in water, walk barefoot on a beach, fly a kite, blow bubbles, just sit still and enjoy daydreaming, eventhough these are simple things when done with complete enjoyment they will connect us to our inner wisdom.
 Making a meditation out of every activity of the day will also help us to connect with our inner wisdom and capably solve our challenges, for example if we are walking we can use all our senses to feel our feet touching the ground, feel the pressure, notice the sound, feel the texture of the ground, or while cleaning dishes we can make every moment of soaping, touching water, touching dishes a meditation by being mindfully aware of the moment to moment action of doing the dishes.

It is important to know that we are capable of solving our challenges when we connect with our wisdom within.  The Universe loves us immensely and prepares us for every challenge by placing the appropriate tools of wisdom within us.  It is our responsibility to life to find these tools and activate them.  We are a grand creation, let us choose to create grandness for ourselves, for humanity, and for this beautiful Planet!

Blessings!

A QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION

A QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION TO SHARE

One of my young friends recently asked me this question. This is a common question for many of the youngsters who get married in India, especially if it is an arranged marriage, the people around them, the elders and their relatives expect them to have children as soon as possible, this is because of the traditional beliefs of legalized procreation and preservation of family wealth.
But modern life with all its "busyness" where both husband and wife have to earn for a living is creating so much of stress for the young married couples and along with the stress of tradition and culture many are asking this question. The answer may also bless those who are not bound by culture and tradition but are trying to have children. In all cultures children are considered the fruit of the Spirit and when a woman is not able to conceive she criticizes herself more than the society around her.

Q: I am going through extreme stress and frustration because it has been more than a year (2 years/3 years/5 years) since I got married and we still have no children. Every time we make love our thoughts are only on trying to have a child and love making has become so very stressful. Please help me with a solution to this problem.

A: Thank you for sharing your heart with me. I am sorry that you feel stressed by this.
It is a common misconception that all our life we have to prove, and please others and live our lives for others. But in reality if we are not there then there is no world, only through your body mind and soul you connect with the thing outside called the world. You out of your love asked the creator for a body and came into this planet to interact with the planet through this body. Every interaction you have with the Planet will be excellent and efficient if it comes from the love for yourself. But this world on the outside taught us to prove and please others rather than ourselves. So in order to get the approval of people on the outside we stress ourselves and lose our joy.
We are indeed created in the image and likeness of the Creator, so every aspect of the mighty creator is in us. We can create anything we want but.. BUT, if we do not live from our joy we cannot create. Creation needs JOY! Every teaching of this world outside, from our families, the education system, to our societies and culture have taught us again and again, that "we are not good enough" and that "we do not deserve" this has made our lives so stressful, for we lost our knowledge of the Creator’s essence in us and also lost our joy in the process of satisfying others. Know that you deserve to live a wonderful life. Your body is the temple and the Divine lives in you. Your first and foremost duty is to love yourself immensely and respect yourself. It is not necessary to give in to the whims and fancies of the world outside, whoever it may be, it is not worth it. Learn to love yourself, I would say re-learn, because as a baby you did love yourself, but as you started to grow up you forgot that because of trying to please everyone outside.
A child is definitely the fruit of the Spirit of the Divine, and when there is joy there is the work of the Divine in us.I would suggest that you let go stress by getting back to your childish nature, go connect with nature, take a walk in a park , sit under a tree, go fly a kite, blow bubbles, see a comedy video, take a chocolate break, do things which would bring back laughter and joy into your life. And make love with your dear husband not because you have to get a baby but because you deserve love, he deserves love and because you admire, respect, and love each other. Start appreciating each other with kind words and small gifts of love every day for each other, in any creative way you can. Start loving and playing with each other for fun, do things for fun, go run on the beach, or fly a kite, or play games for fun, bring lot of fun into your life. Drop others’ opinions whatever it might be , now only do things for yourself. And one fine day you will notice that the Spirit of the Divine has co-created a new life with you both.
To enhance the process of re-learning to love yourself, please do this affirmation/mantra everyday as many times as possible. You can memorize it and say it when you are doing your work, cooking, cleaning, washing dishes, or going shopping, anywhere, anytime. You can also make a happy journal for yourself and write this affirmation down as a love letter to yourself as many times as you can. Also you can print it out and post it on your fridge, on your computer table, or on your bath room mirror as reminders for you. I would also suggest that first thing in the morning look at yourself in the mirror, and look into the eyes of the image looking back at you, it is the God/Goddess.... look into the eyes and say this affirmation/mantra (from Louise Hay)
" I love myself
I am wonderful
Today is one of the best days of my life
Everything is working out for my highest good
Whatever I need to know is revealed to me
Whatever I need comes to me
All is well!"
At first this affirmation may sound silly to you because you have not loved yourself for so long, you loved others but you criticized yourself. So now you are learning to love yourself immensely, so be patient with yourself and continue to do the affirmations as many times as possible with full feeling from your heart, making it your truth.
Forget the past, be in this NOW moment only, in this now moment you love yourself, as the most wonderful Divine being, who has unlimited capacity to create happiness in any way you want it.

Choose to become a joyful co-creator with the Divine.
Blessings!
