• Meditation and Self Mastery

    Because of the many diseases that affect people each day, they find it difficult to develop self-mastery skills. The many illnesses caused from bacteria or viruses affect everyone each day. Other diseases are caused from bad habits such as, smoking, drinking alcoholic drinks, using illegal drugs and even through sex. Aside from that, there are some diseases that are suffered from urban communities that are called psychosis. Health problems of our soul and body sometimes happen because of climate change and dreadful conditions of our environment.

    To overcome these kinds of diseases, many pharmaceutical technologies all over the world have been developing many medicines in curing these kinds of problems. Nevertheless, there are still new diseases that have been discovered that gives a bigger problem in our communities. Even the well-developed countries like the United States of America and the European countries are still trying to find some solutions about these problems. Medicines and pharmaceutical technologies cannot fully solve or cure these problems and they even create some side effects that could harm the patient and would eventually result into a more complicated situation like death.

    Meditation is also considered as one of some healing therapies that are being used nowadays. It has been an alternative medicine by some in various parts of the world.

    Everybody can heal their pains with the many approaches. An example is, whenever we feel pain, we usually buy some medicine in a drugstore or we visit our personal doctors on how we could get rid of the pain.

    Alternatively, we sometimes just try to sleep if we are suffering from headaches or we get tired. According to biological science, our body has an immune system that would block/stop all the bacteria and viruses from penetrating our body. Nevertheless, if our immune system is damaged or could no longer do its work, that’s the time that we get sick.

    Medication is actually used as an alternative healing, which can clear up room for developing self-mastery skills. We can convert our thinking and behaviors by training the mind to believe that all illnesses have cures. Meditation can also be a tool in developing our inner energy to heal our illnesses and transform into a healthier and fresher conditions.

    Meditation can develop our inner energy in healing our health problems. It awakens our immune systems to in our body to work and heal our illnesses. When we are on a relaxed condition, our inner energy will automatically improve the condition of our mind, body and soul.

    What kind of illness can meditation heal? Actually, all kinds of illnesses can be healed through meditation. Meditation can heal these illnesses directly or it may take time in healing. Illnesses such as, back pain, head pain, nerve pain, stress, hypertension, cardiovascular problems, anemia, stroke and leukemia are only some illnesses that can be cured through meditations.

    Two Methods of Simple Meditations

    1) The stand-up position meditation – Stand up freely on the floor. If the person cannot stand up on his own, ask someone to help the person to stand up and let him lean on the wall. Try to close your eyes and try to relax. Feel the energy inside your body and the energy of the earth around you. Do not forget to have faith that all your illnesses will be healed. Try to breathe normally for about 15-30 minutes. Some life-threatening illnesses such as leukemia and cancers have been healed through this kind of meditations.

    2) Sit-down position meditation – this meditation is similar to the Stand up position meditation only that you will be sitting down with your legs crossed.

  • Create Your Day

    Do you tend to let your outer circumstances set the tone for each day? Do you allow other people and events to trigger feelings of anger, frustration, impatience and more?

    Advertisements

    When you do this, you are not using the power you have available to you! By using the Law of Attraction, you can turn every day into a great day. One way to do that is by using intentions and visualization to create your day.

    When you first wake up in the morning, spend 10 minutes or so thinking about the types of things you’d like to experience that day. How would you like your workday to go? What kind of people would you like to meet? Would you like to receive some great opportunities to advance your career or financial situation? How would you like to feel for the majority of your day?

    Grab a blank journal or notebook and jot these details down! Once you’ve gotten all the details written down, spend a few minutes vividly imagining each scenario in your mind, exactly as you would like it to happen. Pretend you’re watching a movie in your mind, seeing it all play out exactly as you’d like it to.

    Most importantly, allow yourself to feel as if they were actually happening now. Immerse yourself in feelings of excitement, joy, happiness and gratitude as you enjoy one great experience after another. Use this same process for every experience you’d like to have that day.

    By the time you’re finished you should be feeling fantastic; buzzing with good spirits and high expectations!

    Then continue with your normal routine, taking special care not to be “attached” to any specific events or experiences, just simply staying open to whatever comes. Keep affirming that great things are going to happen to you that day, and you feel great about all of the blessings and abundance in your life.

    At the same time, avoid getting entangled in feelings of worry, anxiety, frustration, and anger as much as possible throughout the day because those feelings will interfere with the positive energy you’ve already put out.

    As often as you can remember, call to mind images of the things you visualized earlier and allow good feelings to flow over you again. Affirm and know that wonderful things are happening, even if you don’t see them quite yet.

    By using this process on a daily basis, you’ll eventually start to notice that good things are starting to happen. You’ll find yourself being in the “right place at the right time” and generally enjoying greater opportunities and abundance.

  • 5 Steps to Accomplishing Your Goals

    Like most people, you probably took inventory at the beginning of the year and made plans and goals for the year. Yet, the experts say that 30 percent of the people who make New Year’s resolutions have given up by Feb. 1 and over half will concede defeat by July.

    Advertisements

    Why does this happen? It happens because a resolution, by definition, is simply the expression of an opinion, will or intent. It is not a goal. Resolutions also tend to be very vague. Example: “This year I resolve that I will get a better job” or “This year I resolve to be a better person.”

    Let me give you an analogy. In some ways, a resolution is like the canvas of a tent, while the goals are like the poles and stakes. You can’t expect to raise a tent without the poles and stakes to support it. Likewise, you can’t expect to fulfill on a resolution without having goals to support them.

    Using the tent analogy, those that are truly successful in raising a tent have probably also reviewed a list of instructions that told them in what order to complete specific tasks. In our resolutions and goals example, this would be the action plan. The action plan is the roadmap that will tell you what needs to be done and when to do it in order to achieve your goals and fulfill your resolutions.

    Use this five-step process and you can beat the odds and achieve the success you deserve!

    1. Analyze what you wish to accomplish. Think about what is most important to you. Look at where you are today and determine where it is you want to go.
    2. Identify your key objectives. Rank-order them, and limit yourself to no more than three. (Five if you must.)
    3. Create an action plan. This is where you say, “Here’s what I plan to do and here’s how I plan to do it.” This must be written using SMART goals, which are “specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely.” Ex. Resolution: I will lose weight this year. SMART Goal: I will walk for 30 minutes three times a week beginning on February 1.
    4. Prioritize your plan. This is where you say, “Here’s the order that I plan to do them in.” Use the 20/80 rule and focus on the 20% of the tasks that will produce 80% of the results.
    5. Implement your plan. This is where you say, “Here’s how I will put my plan into practice.” Then do it! This should include a regular review and celebration process. Weekly is best but no less than monthly.

    If you follow these simple steps, you will not only to be able to accomplish your goals, but keep your New Year’s resolutions! Good luck!

  • How to live life

    Is life worth living without a dream?
    We all need dreams and goals to get us through the days and years. If they are big and take years to achieve or rather 5 mins is insignificant, they are all important!

    Can you truly be satisfied living someone else’s dream?
    NO, If you can be satisfied then it isn’t someone else’s dream but rather your own!

    What is your potential?
    More than you’ll ever know

    Will you ever fulfill it?
    If your not worried about going to far then yes you will! “The only people who realize their potential are those who risk going all the way”

    Can anyone do anything?
    Yes, the people who don’t just have nobody to tell them they can or give them the push they needed or they would rather write it off as impossible rather than putting themselves out on a limb!

    Or were they never able or had the potential themselves to begin with?
    Potential has no limits!

    Is wanting success selfish?
    I think if you keep things in perspective and don’t let the success take over your life and most of all don’t think your better than anyone!!!! You just have different talents and dreams.

    Are we all selfish?
    I do believe we are all selfish , in that everything we do or say positive for someone else is a way of feeling good about ourselves….. What? Well when do we feel the best about ourselves? How about after giving someone a present or donating money to a charity…. so by saying that is being selfish a bad thing? At times, not at all!

    How to find true happiness?
    I believe balance is number 1 and I believe in our lives we will find our greatest happiness using the gifts that god gave us and making the most of them.

    Are their rules in being in LOVE?
    Just being true to yourself always

  • Your Mediocre Mind

    Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

    A. Einstein

    I’ve always had a love affair with that particular quote. Today, while doing some organizing I came across my favorite quote again. As I looked at it, a higher level of awareness sang out a deeper meaning than I’d ever recognized in the past.

    Advertisements

    Realizing we are spiritual beings, we each have a Great Spirit within us crying out for a well-lived life without fear, without compromise, without limitation. You recognize that deep inner desire, don’t you? It’s greatness is specific to you, your desires, mine is specific to me, my desires. Initially, our spirit is always battling opposition from the opinions of others, media, peer pressure, and family obligations. Then I realized that there is more.

    Just like that, a flash of insight revealed something I had never seen before. My Great Spirit has encountered violent opposition from my own mediocre mind! I was stunned with the insight. Our mind is a tool for the body and for the spirit. Identifying ourselves with the mind we entrap ourselves and the spirit becomes enmeshed in a battle for freedom! Wow! What a revelation I realized as I became aware of the mediocrity of my choices based upon my mistakes, my lame-brained thoughts of defeatism, poor self-esteem, bad-hair days, and so on.

    All of a sudden, I see that I won’t rely solely on the thoughts and opinions of others. I won’t rely on the intellectual capacity of my mind, the same mind and intellect that can offer up rational excuses to not achieve just as easily as it can offer up excellent reasons to go for the gold. This is also the same mind that can perpetuate the emotional state of despair so the emotions will further feed the negativity of the mind. It is such a trap. The mind, in all of its intellectual prowress is mediocre on its own.

    Here on in, I will engage in spiritual awareness, having command over the mind and the emotions. The spiritual awareness will harness these tools, the mind and emotions, and the Great Spirit within will inspire action and achievement like never before!

    What about you?

  • Make Their Day

    “Use every man after his desert, and who shall ‘scape whipping? Use them after your own honour and dignity: the less they deserve, the more merit is in your bounty.”

    William Shakespeare

    When was the last time someone made your day – or you made theirs? In the national bestselling book, FISH!, by Stephen C. Lundin Ph.D., Harry Paul, and John Christensen, the fishmongers at the world famous Pike Place Fish Company in Seattle do it daily. They do it by throwing fish and joking with their loyal customer-fans, and by just having fun.

    I made a point recently to look for people I could “treat” this way, and it was really fun. I think I felt better than they did. I realized that when you make someone’s day, it bounces back on you. It’s a great feeling to witness the joy and surprise on their faces.

    It can be little things, like:
    • Smiling
    • Saying “Good morning”
    • Offering your place in line to a harried fellow shopper
    • Bringing a cup of coffee to your office mate
    • Doing a task for a coworker
    • Over-tipping at your favorite restaurant
    • Taking time with someone who needs it
    • Being a fully present listener

    It doesn’t take much to create a joyful moment. Look around, and you’ll find there are more openings than you think. They’re everywhere!

  • How People Get Inspired
    Advertisements

    “Which comes first, the chicken or the egg?”

    No matter how this topic is tackled, the question remains a mystery.

    “Do you need to be inspired to aspire or do you need an aspiration to get inspired?”

    The same holds true for the second question. Others may argue that in order to have a strong desire to achieve something, you must be inspired. On the other hand, some argue that for you to be inspired, you may need to aspire first.

    This is very much like the chicken and the egg question, right? There is no definite answer. Concerning inspiration vs. aspiration, the best course of action is to discover how to get people inspired, rather than focus on which is the right answer. For some people, inspiration helps them stay motivated and become an achiever.

    So, how do people get inspired?

    The feeling of frustration forces some to seek inspiration. Some need to experience unpleasant circumstances to trigger an inspiration. This path may not be at all pleasant. But who says that the road to greater achievement is always smooth sailing?

    Take for instance the case of an average earner. He just earns enough to make a family survive. On his way to work, he could see other people barely having three square meals a day, hardly having anything to keep them warm on a cold night, practically living on a roofless shanty with paper boards as walls. He wanted to help but can’t.

    He feels helpless for he can’t do anything to alleviate their condition. This feeling of helplessness urged him to promise himself that his family will never experience extreme poverty. This feeling of frustration inspired him to aspire for a better life for himself and for his family. His fear that his family might end up like one of the economically challenged people makes him determined to do something about improving his financial stability.

    Someone who is successful can be an effective source of inspiration. People tend to look up to somebody who has reached the top. They wonder how it is to be like their idol, so they set themselves on a course headed in their idol’s direction. They study their idol’s past and how he was able to overcome all adversities.

    People who wish to be inspired associate with successful people. Successful people have big ambitions. Being ambitious and dreaming big dreams can keep the inspiration alive. Being ambitious is actually good as long as you do not step on other people’s toes and provides inspiration to fellow men.

    A strong desire can trigger people to get inspired and aspire for it. Again, stay within the confines of good fellowship, not hurting anybody along the way. Some people desire popularity. They aspire to be well known in society. They set their sights higher and aim to be recognized and respected.

    Love is a strong motivator. There was once a man who pursued his love interest. He was able to get married to the girl of his dreams. His love for his wife motivated him to do his best in his job to provide for his growing family. Love provided the spark and nurtured his dreams to aspire for the best that life has to offer for him and his family.

    Many sources of inspiration can help you in achieving success in life. Arguing about whichever comes first – whether inspiration or aspiration – is not one of them. The important thing is to find your true source of inspiration and to remain focused in the achievement of your goals.

  • Four Enduring Truths

    There are enduring truths about ourselves that we sometimes don’t see or remember. What are they? They are truths that were recognized thousands of years ago, and have stood the test of time. Here are a four of them, and some ideas about how to use this knowledge.

    Advertisements

    Enduring Truths About Self Interest

    We are self interested. When we sacrifice for others, even this is motivated by our own desires. Those desires include good feelings and wanting to see or make the world the way we want it to be. Forget this, and we become bitter trying to “do the right thing.” In order to avoid this bitterness that comes with “duty”, we need to see how being a good person and doing the right thing is just self interest.

    We can also point out the self-interest of others when we want to correct their behavior. Tell a man he’s wrong, and it isn’t usually enough to change his behavior. It’s better to show him his true interest – that behaving in a better way is better for HIM. Don’t forget the normal and healthy self-interest in dealing with others AND with yourself.

    Enduring Truths About Mistakes

    Salvador Dali said, “Have no fear of perfection. You’ll never reach it.” Maybe you see this as negativity, but recognizing the truth is never a negative act. We all make mistakes. The greatest man or woman alive – whoever he or she is – has done some stupid things.

    This isn’t an attack on human greatness, but a recognition that it isn’t dependent on doing things perfectly. Perfectionists certainly suffer for their demands upon themselves, while others hesitate to act for fear of mistakes. Accept that making mistakes is normal, and don’t dwell on the the possibility or the reality of those mistakes. As Lao Tzu says, “Do your work, then step back – The only path to serenity.”

    Enduring Truths About Learning

    Our mistakes give us a chance to learn, and so avoid even bigger mistakes. Of course, we also can learn from our successes, and from the successes of others. Why not view mistakes and successes – both our own and others – as the great opportunities they are. Just seize that chance to learn more and so live better.

    Enduring Truths About Change

    Probably you have seen people that appear to learn nothing from their mistakes, right? Haven’t you also known and read about those who turned their lives around? A less important truth is that people often don’t change. The far more important truth to remember, and the most important of these enduring truths, is that we CAN change.
