Recording Memories
What memories and experiences are you
capturing?
Just as we can select what we want to capture
when recording videos, in the same way, we can
pick out what's best for our purpose when
recording memories.
We have choice, what we fix our vision on, and
what we absorb through our eyes and ears.
And just as we can edit, delete or save a
recording, we have the same options for how we
choose to recall and replay our memories.
Inner Beauty
While we spend much time 'making up' our faces
to ensure our
appearance is beautiful for others, we forget to
make up our minds.
This is not about making decisions. Making up
our mind means ensuring
that our thoughts are positive and our feelings
towards others are
filled with good wishes. When we do, others
begin to sense a deeper
beauty emanating from behind the skin! This is
inner beauty. Don't
hide behind your face. Let the real you show
through.
A Gauge To Check How Spiritually Powerful Am I
The territory of spiritual understanding is both
infinite and unlimited. Simply put,
spirituality can be defined as the rediscovery
of the deepest values, virtues, positive sanskars or
characteristics of the human soul. The innate
attributes or characteristics of the soul
(peace, love, truth, purity and happiness) give
the soul its power. The power of the soul cannot
be quantified either on a physical or a
non-physical level. The power can only be
experienced and revealed to the self and others
through the 'quality' of the above
characteristics and the different forms they are
given by the soul itself.
For a practitioner of meditation, whether a
beginner or an experienced once, patience and a
gentle persistence guarantee two aspects of
self-progress (in varying degrees in different
souls):
1. rediscovery and revelation or
expression of one's spiritual attributes and
secondly, but very importantly
2. the ability to give them an appropriate
form internally or externally, depending on the
requirement of the situation.
A particular soul might be good at both aspects,
another one very good at the first aspect and
not so good at the second one. When we choose
to be peaceful, we reconnect with our inner
peace and create the spiritual form of peace
within our self. This form created is different
for different souls, depending on how powerful
the soul is. So what is the quality of that
form, what is the quality of our peace? Is it
a superficial quality that is easily disturbed
with unexpected changes in our external
circumstances, or is it a deep peace which is
stable even in the face of fierce criticism from
others? Only we know the quality of our
spiritual forms.

The Psychosomatic Effects (Effects on the Body)
Of Fear
The human being is psychosomatic by nature –
what that means is that our health is deeply
influenced by our behavior, thoughts, emotions
and social relationships. Therefore, in order to
experience good health, we should care for our
life style, our mental, sentimental, emotional
and relational world, as well as our
communication. Fear is bad for our health. It
manifests itself in the form of anger and
promotes coronary diseases. Fear suppressed for
a long time ends up producing diseases such as
cancer. Apart from cancer and heart attacks,
there are other illnesses brought on by fear:
addictions, anxiety, arthritis, asthma,
irritability, nervous breakdowns, memory loss,
gastritis, back pains, baldness, diarrhea,
sciatica, crying attacks, alcoholism,
constipation, hypertension, cystitis (bladder
inflammation), vomiting, palpitations, digestive
disorders, ulcers and migraines.
When we get old, our neurons do not die, but
rather the connections between them disappear, that
is what recent scientific research suggests. The
neuronal connections or synapses keep us lively
and young. When we have pleasant experiences,
such as during meditation or when we are on a
holiday or are surrounded by friends or while
working in a team, some examples of activities
in which we feel happy, the neuronal connections
are more fluid. However, the lights go out
when we feel fear. It is an emotion that is
capable of slowing down and blocking the
electrical impulses between the neurons. With
fear we are less creative and we get older more
quickly. If we do not want to suffer illnesses
(or want our illnesses to get worse) we should
learn to manage and overcome fear.
Message for the day
Even the impossible becomes possible with
determination and there is sure success.
Expression:
The one who is determined is
the one who never gives up in adverse
situations. He is able to use all the challenges
as a means for self-progress. He is never
deterred with situations which seem difficult to
handle, but is able to creatively bring out new
ideas that help him to cross over the obstacles
with ease.
Experience:
Determination brings
confidence in me and in my ability to achieve
what I set out to achieve. I am able to remain
confident and sure of my own success. This
confidence gives me the encouragement not to let
go half way through, but to do something till
the end. With each obstacle that comes my way
that seems to deter me from my path, I find
myself improving and progressing, making myself
better and better. So I am able to experience
success constantly.
