Introversion
The ability to enjoy
one's own company is one of the greatest gifts
life has to offer. Learning to turn my thoughts
away from all my responsibilities at the day's
end and take my mind into a state of peace and
benevolence enables me to carry greater and
greater loads without feeling the burden. When
my inner landscape is full of beautiful
thoughts, everything I do is a pleasure. Gently,
I calm down chaotic situations and offer solace
to troubled minds.
Attachment
In life we
get attracted and become attached to a
particular object,
person, relationship or situation. Attachment
seems to be the normal
state of our living experience. We seek it
without a second thought.
Is attachment a desirable state? When a person
develops a strong
attachment, he is likely to become sorrowful
when the attachment is
broken or diminished. His emotional and mental
state suffers. The
broken hearted, the vindictive behavior, the
hatred, the jealousy and
sometimes suicides are the result of broken
attachments. It is a risky
business to make the happiness of others our
total happiness; to
experience the difficulties of others as our
difficulties. We should
not build our life to such an extent around
someone else's life or any
object so that when anything goes wrong we
cannot function or we fall
apart. It is healthier, stronger and much more
in wisdom to love
everything and everybody, play our roles and
perform our duties to the
maximum with everybody and still remain
detached. We will be able to
provide more help to others when we ourselves
are strong from within.
Experiencing The
Subtle Body Or Body Of Light (Meditation)
I feel comfortable... peaceful... I focus my
eyes on a specific point and let them rest
there... My hands are in my lap... I am aware of
my breathing... I begin to breathe deeply,
inhaling and exhaling... When I inhale, I
imagine an energy filling my lungs that relaxes
me... it makes me peaceful... it calms me... On
letting go of the air, I feel that all the
tension, worries, confusion... are leaving me...
After some moments of deep breathing, I centre
my attention on my feet, where I feel a gentle
light energy... like a vibration that relaxes my
feet... I mentally withdraw this energy that
connects to my feet... I visualize how a white
light goes slowly up my ankles... my legs...
like a light current... I feel as if my feet,
legs... were to disappear... become light...
weightless... I carry on bringing my attention
upwards, slowly through my body through my
pelvis, until my chest... I feel that current of
warm white light running through this part of my
body...
Now I look at my hands... I separate them... I
move my fingers... I relax them, feeling how
that white light withdraws, going up my arms...
My arms relax... my hands... my arms are
weightless... This gentle light energy now goes
up my neck and envelops my face... Waves of
light and peace run over my face... the muscles
of my face are relaxed... I feel very light... a
pleasant feeling of well being is filling my
entire body... I experience a very deep peace
within me... I concentrate this light energy at
the centre of my forehead... I visualize this
light energy as a star floating between my
eyes... that radiates energy and light... I am
live energy... I am light... my form is light...
I am a being of light... I am free... different
from my body... I feel incorporeal
(non-physical)... beyond the awareness of my
body... I feel at peace... free... completely
free of the limitations of this body and the
physical world... I am a being of peace... I
radiate this energy of peace in the form of
vibrations that spread outwards... to the place
I am in... to my surroundings... and all the
atmosphere becomes peaceful and calm. I enjoy
this state of being light.

Understanding
And Expressing Your Potential - Part 1
A free being is the one who recognizes their
potential; they care for it, nourish it, use it
and express it. It is an awakened being. It has
stopped blaming, complaining and making excuses.
It has taken on its full responsibility and has
an attitude of gratitude at each moment. It is a
relaxed being, but it does not get too
comfortable in comfort zones or laziness. Out of
peacefulness and spiritual strength, it rises
above beliefs that limit their potential to grow
and shine.
Its energy is full of love, courage and
determination. It is a concentrated energy that
governs their mind and emotions; it is not
distracted by the unimportant, it does not lose
sight of the important and does not allow itself
to be trapped by anything or anybody. Therefore,
their energy is fully centred and has great
power. Not the false power that comes from
stress, adrenaline, pride and ego, but rather
the power that arises from a being whose
conscience, decisions and actions are aligned.
From a being that knows that nothing or nobody
can prevent it from being free and express their
full potential. A free mind is a mind without
limits, open to everything and closed to
nothing. It is a mind that clings on to nothing
and, because of this, is relaxed with
everything. A mind is closed because it gets
stuck on something; it is blocked by fears or
disturbed by worries. A person with a busy,
closed and clinging mind will get disturbed,
they will fluctuate, they will lose their
emotional stability and they will be easily
offended. This doesn't happen to a person with a
free, open and relaxed mind because they never
lose sight of the true meaning of who they are.

Message for the
day
To search for
solutions is to use resources for the right
cause.
Expression:
Usually a lot of energy and
time is wasted to find the cause of something
that goes wrong. But thinking about that only
wastes the resources that could be used for
finding solutions. So it is not necessary to
understand the causes but to find solutions. So
the one who understands this fact is able to
make the best use of available resources to
correct the situation.
Experience:
Being focused on the solution
rather than on the problem, I am able to use all
my inner resources in the right way. I am free
from complaints and am able to put in effort to
do the best in the given situation. I am
constantly happy and content because I know that
there is a solution for every problem.
