What stands betwwen you and your happiness?


What is that which stands between your present very humanly state of mind and the ultimate happiness that sages and rishis call it bliss?

It your consciousness! Everything centers around your present consciousness of what think you are and how you take life situations.

Invariably our conscious is at very low frequency which is the prime reason for our sullen and gloomy mood. If you care to recall the times of your happiness and your actions on those very specific moments, you would realise that your were vibrating at a very high frequency-the vibrating frequency of God and sages.

Here are 4 best ways to raise your consciousness:

1. Stop judging others. Judging people that matter to your life puts you in a negative emotion and that is not a happy state of mind. Allow others to differ from you.

2. Live by your emotions. Listening to your inner voice and acting accordingly is the best way to live a guilt free life. A guilt free life is a life of ultimate freedom.

3. Gratitude is the highest virtue, a guaranteed certificate of life full of things that you appreciate and would always. When you say thanks to something or someone that made you receive something valuable, you are very likely to receive or experience the same repeatedly. As they rightly said, what you appreciate, appreciates you.

4. Forgiveness is another Godly quality that we must all practice always. This is again a sure fire way to make you feel free-free from guilt and sulking. It not only means forgiving others but forgiving you which is absolutely necessary to love yourself and others.

Living a guiltless life is like living a life of ultimate freedom. And freedom is pure bliss!

How to get rid of the fear of lacking.


Worldwide, in every religion (there may be exceptions), it is a common practice to ask for something when people sit in front of God to pray. It is how we were all taught and it is in our blood to ask for money, job, house, car, travel, dress, gold and what not?

Sometimes we do get what we have asked for but not always! Agreed?

What does this mean?
*Have we not been sincere in our prayer?
*When we asked for something, have we felt in all honesty that we really never needed it?
*Have we felt wrong to have asked for something immediately after asking?
*Have we secretly held on to a belief that we may not get what we asked for?

While all the above reasons might be true, there is another reason which is not generally recognized by us. God knows what to give to us and what not give to us. So, it is never needed to pray for something. God will always take of his children whether you love him or not; whether you pray or not.

If only this truth sinks in every one of us, we can easily get rid of the fear of lacking.

Water meditation.

Water meditation is not new to me but I know it is unheard of for many. Water being the ultimate purifier of everything physical, it is surely capable of cleansing our physical as well as mental pains and congestion.

The act of water meditation first requires to believe in the cleansing power of water. Then, you say a silent prayer to water to relieve you from your sufferings whatever it may be.

A tub of water may be mixed with an aromatic oil. (No don't call it yet as aromatherapy). A few drops of pure sandalwood oil is ideal. After saying your prayer, get into the water tub and relax for about 15 minutes. While inside the water, do some basic breathing exercise.

Important:
Don't focus on your sufferings that you have already prayed for. Focus on your breathing only.

Finally, after you get out of the tub say a silent thanks to the water for making you alright. It is important.

My husband used to do this in a swimming pool by letting out of the air in his body, sink to the bottom of the pool and lay there for just 120 seconds.
That was 30 years before. Now, he won't even step into a water tub.

Another form of water meditation is to just listen to the sound of water falling from a fountain or the sound of flowing water in a stream. This should be a daily meditation for 15 minutes. It has done wonders in my life.

Here, listen to the sound of running water.
