The vision board that just delivers without question.

Whether you are naturally creative or use a digital vision board, the result is the same which is both will deliver exactly as you have visioned. No questions asked by the universe. It is your faithful servant. It will deliver to you exactly what you have projected on it by your visualization.

Some are naturally creative. They possess the ability to visualize what they would like to see. For example, take the case of an architect. He first visualizes the building as he would see it erected. Then he goes about bringing the mental image on to his drawing board.

He then organizes the resources, work force and start building the structure that lays on the papers. Finally, it stands as he had originally imagined in his mind.

But most are not naturally creative. But they can appreciate creativity. They can see the beauty of a building, a car, a yacht, a web site. These images they have liked and appreciated will get lodged in some corners of their memory.

When they use a digital vision board such as the one developed by Orange Peel, they might recognize some of the pictures and would like to see it again and again. They can order their digital vision board to do that for them.

Then, one fine day, they will see what they repeatedly saw in their real life. It is that simple.

So, what actually you did to manifest your desire? You only saw them in digital version several times ie: you did what you liked and in the process manifested what you would like to have, do or be!

How wonderfully blessed you are!

What is Fertility Yoga?

A stray cat stopped my taxi abruptly on a rather deserted street yesterday. The weather out there was windy and pleasant.

I was returning with my husband after shopping in a taxi. The taxi driver somehow managed to stop the vehicle thus avoided hitting the cat. The car made some screeching sound due to sudden stop.

We stopped in front of an Infertility Clinic owned by a lady gynaecologist. In her consulting hours board, I saw the words, "Fertility Yoga'. I never heard about Fertility Yoga. I suppose it is meant for pregnant women or is it also meant for just married?

Have you ever come across Fertility Yoga and what it is meant to do to pregnant women? Will it mean upside down exercises?

I am going to search for more information about Fertility Yoga. I will write about my findings here only if I understand it.

Attract anything without doing anything.

Want one million dollars?
Want to buy the latest BMW?
Planning for the Christmas vacation in Hawaii?
Aiming to score university first?

Please add your others wants to the list. Don't spare anything. Paint a complete picture.

Finished?

Now look at your list and read again slowly. What do you think your emotion will be when everything in your manifests?

Happiness! Yes, you will feel happy and you want to feel happy.

Be happy now! You need not follow any spiritual practice; not necessary to meditate. No need to undergo physical torture to please God.

None is hiding behind the clouds waiting to shower material to you upon praying. Yes, no one is up there.

You simply attract the right energy that makes up any material.

How?

Just by being happy! The energy you send out when you are happy is the exact energy that can bring anything you desire.

This is the law of universe buddy. No exceptions!

There can be reasons for being sad and dejected. But you don't have to have any reason for being happy.

Here, there and everywhere!

A word, a phrase or even an image is enough to ignite something in me to write blog post here.

What inspired me to write the following content is at the end of this blog post in red letters.

The following are some of the reasons for our stress, worry, errors in judgment, inefficiency in work and unkindly behavior.

* You are taking bath thinking about what you are going to do once you are out of the bathroom.
* You are eating your breakfast thinking what is going to be your lunch menu or what did you eat yesterday.
* You are dressing up for the day thinking you would rather stay put today.
* You are at your office desk wishing you are doing some other work in another company.
* You are computing some data thinking about how you are going to handle the next segment of your work.
* You don't reply kindly to a question by someone because your mind is on the movie you are planning to see two days later.
* You are studying economics at the college but wishing you opted for another faculty.
* You just bought a laptop but immediately regretting because a desk top PC is more comfortable.

" You want to be here and you want to be there at the same time".

The idea is to concentrate on the 'Now".

How to get the answer from your spirit guides?

I was narrated an incident yesterday by a friend of my husband. He just gained basic knowledge on how to call his spirit guides. He tested a few times and he was full of glee that his spirit guides answered his calls.

On his last meeting with his spirit guides, he sought their advice on something he was planning to do. He was disappointed that his spirit guides did not respond.

I told him his questions were wrongly worded. He was not aware that spirit guides will not make your decisions for him. Sure, they will offer their opinions and advice if you ask for it, but they will NOT tell you what to do. The final decision should always be yours.

My husband’s friend then asked me how to get the best out of his spirit guides.

I told him to rephrase his question: “If you were in….; if you were offered…; if you were informed…, what would be your …..?

He immediately recognized the smartness in the modified approach. He thanked me a lot and went off hopefully.

I hope his spirit guides conveys their appreciation for me.

How to keep moving up in life?

From beggar to multi millionaire, all wants to move up in their life. This is the basis of this expanding universe.

But, unfortunately, in spite of the desire, not everyone moves up even though they possess qualifications, drive and persistence.

Why?

Human beings are traditionally comfort loving species. We keep resisting changes when they knock at our door. We steadfastly cling to our past even if we look for changes. This means we unconsciously are afraid of changes.

The change may be a different place, new job or new responsibilities. But we are still reluctant to let go of the past. We simply fail to realize that in order to make new things to happen, we have to make room for them by letting go of the past.

For every transformation to arise, somethings have to vanish.

But, if we cling to the past, it means we are refusing to go with the flow of life.

Sound of thoughts?

Sound of thoughts or thought sounds? Whatever it may be, the purpose of these sounds is to give sort of brainwave entertainment for you.

Me? I listen to Kishore Kumar songs only to stimulate my never tired brain. Brainwave entertainment is still new to many.

Artificially stimulating alpha mind with matching frequencies is the basis of brainwave soundtracks. Now more soundtracks are being made to relax the brain. I too have a couple of these brainwave soundtracks gifted by my friends.

Though, the web is full of testimonials about positive results these sound therapies have produced, I am still skeptic.

The one simple rule to get what you want.

* I wanted to excel in Mathematics;
I did.

* I wanted to study and earn a few degrees;
I hold M.Sc, M.Ed, M.Phil degrees.

* I wanted to teach;
I do.

* I wanted a business minded husband;
I have.

* I wanted a huge house;
I have.

* I wanted a son;
I have.

* I wanted to sleep a lot;
I do.

* I wanted to work from home;
I work from home now.

* I wanted to go to Himalayas;
I went.

The list of my wants and desires and the fulfillment of them is really big. But I don't want to brag any more. It is not my intention to boast.

Ok, how did I manage to get all that I wanted? Any secret?

Yes, I realized now only that I have been following this one simple rule:
" When you want something, but can live by without having it, you have upped the odds of having it".

This means I never really bothered if I get what I want. This nature was inborn.

Who emotes- you or your mind?

* My mind says I should stay away from that family whose culture is totally alien.
* I can't understand how the people of a particular nation eat that food.
* I strongly condemn the practice of that islanders.
* Politicians should behave like me.

You label, attach tags, pass judgments, thus literally blocking the ways to find true human relationship. These judgments and opinions stand between you and yourself, between you and fellow men, between you and nature and above all it is between you and God.

This sense of false identity with which we are not born is the cause of all the miseries of the world. When one nation throws away 3 gallons of milk just because they don't need it and another nation reports hundreds of death due to starvation.

If I, from India want to reach out and help, I am prevented due to political barriers which are only artificial and man made.

Who wants to reconcile to the fact that we are all one and separateness is just an illusion? Who is ready to assimilate the fact that nature holds no barriers. Who is ready to understand that all that we admire and appreciate-beauty, love, creativity-arise beyond mind?

Oh, who is John Galt?

The attraction of the Moon.

The Moon that attracts the bold and beautiful, the rich and young and the famous and celebrities is located on the 53rd floor of the Fantasy Tower at the Palms Resort.

So, what else you thought?

Like the moon in the space that is more associated with the night, this Moon is an ultra-modern night spot that truly feels like it should be on another planet. This night club has a retractable roof to reveal the view if the star studded or cloudy night sky as the case may be.

After completing a tour of the Las Vegas Strip in a helicopter, we had time to return to our hotel to freshen up and then we headed straight to the moon. This is our second stop of the 6 Las Vegas Shows we had planned for our three day sight seeing trip to Wild West.

How to enjoy life?

I have been teaching mathematics since 1990. My classes starts from 5.30 AM and closes at 8.00 AM
I get a break to read newspapers, operate washing machine, do the cooking and this and that.

Again my classes start at 3.30 PM and ends at 8.00 PM. I eat and retire dead tired.

Look at my husband who works more hours than me but he gets time to read books, visit his friends and takes time to go out of station for a couple of days occasionally. He life is really enviable.

So, what am I lacking?
Why don't I find time for the things I want to do apart from working for a survival?
Am I not sincere in my work?
Am I not earning more than my husband?

Just whats wrong? What should I do to remedy the monotony?

For this my husband gave me a note that read:
"If you always do what you have always done, then you will always get what you have always gotten".

I stared at the message for a long time. Something turned inside me. I knew.

Do you?

The power of silence-Part 9.

A great mystic like Buddha could easily sense the interior preparedness of the philosopher, who had unreservedly surrendered himself, with profound trust, docile humility, and audacious hope. The very decision of the philosopher to come to him asking for an experience of the Truth was already a revolutionary step of personal conversion.

Thus Buddha did not need any external force to teach him or lead him to the Truth. Neither was there any need to prescribe techniques and exercises or lessons on meditation.

For Buddha, the philosopher's sheer openness, the sublime emptiness that could now be filled to the brim, was enough. He therefore compares this philosopher to a good horse that is so watchfully alert and aware that it begins to run if it merely sees the shadow of the whip. The master has only to touch the whip and the horse nearly flies. Buddha has only to look into the eyes of the philosopher and all the teaching that can ever be imparted is readily received.

Buddha's Silence was not wordlessness or noiselessness. It had a transforming power, permeating and filling the atmosphere around him with such intensity that people seated at his presence experienced "the ineffable and the inexplicable."

His Silence had no movement, yet people around him moved closer to the Truth just by being in his presence, permeated and filled by the effulgence of his joyous stillness. His Silence was contagious. It was like the unseen powers of a magnetic field or the invisible sound waves that travel in the atmosphere.

True Silence is not forced by any internal or external factors. It is natural and spontaneous, active and sublime. It wells up from the depths of our personality and overflows with a certain rhythm. It is mauna in the fullest sense of the term. It radiates energy and emanates vitality. Peace and joy are inseparably interwoven in its very essence.

This Silence is not negative; there is no "absence" of something. It is wholly positive, pervading the entire atmosphere around him, so that he can just sit without uttering anything and the people around him can receive wisdom. It is this pattern of Silence that the early Buddhist sculptors and artists endeavored to convey in their images and replicas of the Buddha.

Buddha's Silence was the result of a profound harmony within himself and with the world outside. It pointed to a deep concord between the centre and periphery of his self and his states of awareness or consciousness. Buddhism refers to seven layers of such consciousness.

A joyous quietude is attained when these seven layers throb harmoniously, pulsating in sublime awareness. Buddha is silent because he knows the narrow boundaries of rational knowledge and the blind alleys of metaphysical queries. He knows the frailty and feebleness of words and concepts. His discovery of the language of Silence helped him dispel the inner darkness and void created by a rational thirst for knowledge

In the Christian mystical and contemplative tradition, silence is strongly recommended as an ingredient of the religio-spiritual quest. The Desert Fathers and the later monastic tradition stress the role of silence for interior spiritual growth. St. Benedict advises his followers, "Monks ought to be zealous for silence at all times . . . ." Silence creates an atmosphere and an attitude for listening and receptivity, for response and recollection. Only thus can the Truth, that is, the Divine Reality, be able to permeate our entire being.

When we are truly silent, we understand the richness of emptiness. Very often such silence is equated with truth. A story of one of the Buddha's disciples can help us to discern how the process of achieving emptiness is an ideal means of attaining the Truth:

Subhuti was one of Buddha's disciples. He was able to understand the potency of emptiness: the viewpoint that nothing exists except in its relationship of subjectivity and objectivity. One day, when Subhuti was sitting under a tree in a mood of sublime emptiness, flowers began to fall around him.

"We are praising you for your discourse on emptiness;' the gods whispered to him.

'But I have not spoken of emptiness;' said Subhuti.

"You have not spoken of emptiness, we have not heard emptiness," responded the gods. "This is true emptiness."

And the blossoms showered upon Subhuti like rain.

Being silent about our own exercises of manifestation can considerably speed up the process of manifestation. That is why I always suggest keeping your imaging and visualization exercises as a top secret, something strictly between you and Source Energy. There is no need to tell your parents or your friends about your own personal meditation practices, especially if your intuition tells you that they are only going to shake your faith.

Let me wind up this piece with a small beautiful piece of profound Zen poetry:

At a place deep
In green trees,
A lamp’s light
Burns long.
Spring pilgrims
Make their way to the temple;
Blossoms fall
At a monk’s closed gate.
In the mind, the ten
Thousand doctrines are still;
A clear, lone spring
Purls over rocks.
We do not ask
About our lives, our work,
And the silence between us
We keep.

Thank you very much Pramod for giving me an opportunity to publish this inspiring and thought provoking article.
Oh, let me shut up at this juncture and send my profound gratitude and deep appreciation to the Universe. I am sure it will be delivered to you.

What causes stress?

Today is Thursday, a hectic day for me. I will have to handle my classes till 8 PM. Also I was expecting the service engineer to repair the washing machine. I wanted him to come before 4.30 PM before the power goes off.

This caused stress in me.

On every 29th I have to pay my credit card dues. Usually, I will get the cheques from two of my students on 23rd itself with which I will manage my credit card payment. But twice in the past, the cheques came only on 27th. I had tough time paying my credit card on due date. So, I start feeling the stress by 22nd itself.

As you notice, both the causes of stress are my belief that the service engineer may not arrive in time and the cheques may be delayed.

So, it is clear that belief causes stress, not your business or life situations. If I believe that the cheques will arrive in time and the service engineer will also come before the power goes off, I will not have any stress at all.

Please read this again and it reveal several of your beliefs that were the causes for your stress.
"Belief causes stress, not your business or life situations." -Joe Vitale

17 second thoughts.

Every thought entertained by our conscious mind and accepted as true is sent by our brain to our solar plexus (also called abdominal brain which causes the feeling of chillness on hearing bad news), the brain of our subconscious mind, to be made into our flesh and to be brought forth in our world as a reality.

The above passage is from "The power of subconscious mind" by Joseph Murphy.

In layman terms, if you examine the events, experiences in your life, you will surely find a related thought that was entertained by you sometime in your past. What I mean by 'entertained' is you munched over a specific thought repeatedly whether it is a positive or negative thought.

A thought seeks it physical expression when it is given life for a minimum of 17 seconds. So, there is ample time for all of us to stop ourselves in the middle of thinking a negative/destructive thought and immediately replace it with a positive thought.

Someone asked me how to find out whether we are thinking positively or negatively. The answer is simple; very simple really. If you feel happy while thinking, then you are on a positive note. But negative thoughts, though might give satisfaction when we are in a sullen or sadistic mood, the after effects will leave a residue of unpleasantness in our heart.

This is a very clear indication of our nature of emotions.

Masters degree in education, reading, literacy.

A couple of years ago, my close friend, presently working as a teacher, consulted me about getting a PhD in Continuing Education from a university online, preferably from an American University.

Capella University came to my immediately as I have already written about several articles about it and also spoke in a few seminars about the convenience of distance education.

After that, my friend did not pursue it further for reasons unknown to me. Yesterday, I listened to the ‘Inside Online Education’- a podcast from Capella University and learnt about their Master of Science in education, reading and literacy specialization that is also approved by the state of Minnesota.

I intend to ask my friend to visit capellacommons.com and listen to the podcast that I am sure will encourage her to think again.

This blog post was based on information provided by Blogitive. For more information, please visit Blogitive.com.

Whatever you want, wants you.

Whatever you want, wants you!

What comes to your mind immediately after you read the above sentence?

I sat up when I read it for the first time. It seemed to be the basis of law of attraction. If the entire universe is made of the five basic elements-earth, fire, water, air and the space (sky), then our body, mind and the consciousness is also made up of the same five elements.

When we want something, the five basic ingredients of us start vibrating and sending out signals that attract the vibrations of that we wanted. So, we all get what we want, at least immediately on the mental level.

So, to see it on your physical level, we must allow them. But we must remember to leave all the details to the universe. Let the Universe figure out the place and time of delivery.

Just keep your faith and trust in the cosmic force and it will do the rest.

You can choose to read everything about law of attraction and how to practice it. All of them will end up saying this:
1. Get very clear on what you want
2. Visualize and raise your vibration about it
3. Allow It

The final part, 'Allow' sounds very simple but difficult to implement but possible. It requires dedicated practice.

Unfortunately we are all adept at practicing the art of resisting. Reading negative and disturbing news, seeing violent and horror movies, eating unhealthy food, doubting the benevolent nature of cosmic force are all the major contributors for our miserable and deplorable character. None of these allow us to cultivate the art of allowing.

In my life experience there is only one simple way to find out if I am practicing the art of allowing:
If I am happy NOW, I am allowing the gifts of Universe; else, I am definitely rejecting them. No exceptions.

How to step out of a random, chaotic universe?

This question won't be asked by anyone under the age of 40. For them, this chaotic universe is pulsating with life and verve. They dare not think how life will be without all the excitement they are currently experiencing.

But this question, "How to get out of this chaotic and polluted universe" will slowly surface and dominate the thoughts of many who have crossed 40 years. This will be more so and become an obsession when they cross 50 years.

For them, there is an answer for questions like these:
How will your life change as you find out about the true nature of our universe, and how it responds to the desires of your heart?

Choose to take part in rejuvenating the entire planet while also Creating What You Want!

Want legal assistance in Waco, Texas?

In the olden days, when a person leaves for a strange new place or even abroad, elders in the house used to give them a lot of advice. They also supply a few addresses of important contacts in the city where one is heading. The important contact persons include distant relatives, friends and their friends etc.

Now the days are changed. Recently, my relative’s son headed for Waco, Texas on official assignment. The contract period was for one year. His company provided him with telephone numbers of a few resources that include a Waco Personal Injury Attorney who provides free initial consultation among other resources like nearby driving schools, hospitals, regional community centers, doctors who provide immediate medical assistance and more.

Very thoughtful of them-eh?

Change your beliefs to change your life.

"If there are things in your experience that you no longer wish to experience, your belief must change.
If there are things that are not in your experience that you want to bring into your experience, your belief must change."

I received the above quotation in my mobile phone as SMS. Though I liked it, I could not exactly explain why I liked it. Something is trying to tell me something but I could not place it.

Yes, I beginning to see the meaning. Let me see if I understood it correctly.
I am frequently disturbed by various callers that include parents of my students, students, ex-students and so on. None of them have the manners to call and come. They just barge in unannounced assuming that I will be whenever I am taking class.

Whenever I hear the front gate being opened I believe someone is coming to see me. My husband used to laugh at me. There are people at the ground floor, there are others in our house; in spite of that how can I believe that way?

Exactly this belief is attracting visitors to me. So, I should change my belief that I will be left free and the visitors are for others only.

How to receive from Universe?

You ask; it is given immediately. But you don't see it in your physical experience.

This is the stale story for almost all of us. Yes, I mean there are exceptions. There are people I know who get what they asked for almost instantly.

My husband is a classic example. I have been seeing him living a life that he wanted. His own working hours that he keeps shrinking so that he can read books on anything he likes. And do you know the books find him always?

When I asked him how, he replied that he didn't know. In fact, his secret he told me several times is, he never asks how. He just leaves it for the universe to deliver.

It means he is in perfect alignment of his desires. It means, he doesn't entertain doubts over the manifestation of his desires. He believes strongly that it will be manifested.

If one doubts, then, whatever has been given will stay only in his mental level. Ah, one more character we must develop in order to receive what is given- Patience-infinite patience is required to produce immediate results.

Miracles happen by and by; not according to your agenda.

Your focal point's ill effects.

The non-stop of watching of television dramas, short films, soap operas and so on, does more damage to human mind than any other destructional devices or products.

Our eyes are so glued to the human frame in the TV screen for long time that they fail to see the surroundings of the human characters. We are totally identified with the characters and start emulating them in our real life unconsciously.

This causes serious damage to our relationship with others and also with the environment. Even when we walk on the road, we focus fully on the human beings and not on the greeneries, birds, insects, buildings and a myriad other things.

I implore you to think on these lines and give your attention to the charms of life too.

What exactly means by surrender will.

The rationalists will scorn at the word 'Surrender'. I don't blame them. I too was like that till the Divine said to me " I am with you always; surrender your will, desires, aspirations at my feet". I immediately complied and life is never the same. It is blissful to note that the God is sitting beside me, thinking for me, guiding me to make decisions.

Yes, surrender means accepting helplessness literally.

But what happens after the acceptance?
You are creating an energy field of receptivity for the solution to appear. (Dr. Wayne Dyer) I request you to read it again and munch on it.

It is like recognizing the fact that our plans always don't work but God's plan works always.

There is an old Tamil song that goes on to say that if whatever we think happens in real life, then there can be no God. It implies that if we manifest whatever we think, then, there is no necessity for God.

The problem is it is very true that whatever we think will manifest. It is the law of universe. No exceptions. Then why do I call it a problem?

Because, we think not always that what we want to happenin our life; we give more thoughts on what we don't want. We have developed this deplorable quality of thinking/contemplating /rehearsing failures and as per the law of universe, that also is experienced by us.

Can we develop the habit of thinking only what we want to happen in our life?
Yes, we can.
But how to drop negativity?
How do you drop a piece of hot coal?

There is another fool proof method that I am following and seeing immediate positive results. I wish for others that I want to experience in my life such as health, wealth, peace and love. In essence, It is easy for me to think on what good things to happen to my friends' and relatives' lives. Here, I don't find myself inserting catastrophic events.

The law of cause and effect is thus activated and it goes to work and bring me what I wished for others.

See, isn't it easy? Try it brother and you will see immediate results.

The power of silence-Part 8.

The practice of silence helps us create an inner sense of equilibrium which encourages genuine wellbeing. Such feelings attract fulfillment and a strong faith that the universe is beneficent. We are constantly encouraged to engage in an ongoing search for satisfaction … without ever finding it. It keeps us striving.

Mauna, rendered in English as "silence," was the chief characteristic of the life of Buddha. The word mauna is one of the few terms used commonly by all language and religious groups in India. Mauna, from which the noun muni, meaning "sage" or "hermit" is derived, has a meaning exorbitantly wealthier than its English counterpart "silence." Mauna means blissful calmness, joyous recollection, tranquil quietude, and peaceful stillness.

A philosopher once visited Buddha and asked him: "Without words, without the wordless, will you tell me the truth?" Buddha kept silence. After a while the philosopher rose up gently, made a solemn bow and thanked Buddha saying: "With your loving kindness, I have cleared away all my delusions and entered the true path."

When the philosopher had left, Ananda, a senior disciple of Buddha, enquired: "O, Blessed one, what hath this philosopher attained?"

Buddha replied: "A good horse runs even at the shadow of the whip!"

How to get enlightenment?

Enlightenment means not relinquishing the world and everything in it including your body, soul and mind. It is not to be associated with retiring to Himalayas leaving behind your family. It is nothing to do with doing away with desires.

Enlightenment means the realization that you and I are one. It is a mental state of being at one with God and everything else in the planet earth. A total piece will encase you when you are connected with your source.

How to get to enlightened state?
To know that, you must know what is preventing you from getting to that state of enlightenment. The incessant mental noise that is very active even in your dreams is the only culprit that is preventing you to be enlightened. Enlightenment is the end of suffering-right?
Enlightenment is freedom from non-stop thinking-isn't that a big enslavement?

Daily, sit for just 5 minutes and try to stop thinking and just focus your mental attention on your breathing-the life inside you. You will still allow thoughts. Let them out and don't curse yourself for allowing thoughts.

When you allow thoughts, assume that you are releasing them and wait for next thought. Now, it will take a bit longer to come. Release it and now command for next thought. Now it will take more time to come.

This in-between time is precious. You will be at blissful peace. Words can't express that feeling. Practice this exercise daily for just 5 minutes and soon you will wait for this time. Slowly, you will lapse into this no-mental-noise state for more time; I mean the time between thoughts will become longer and finally, it will stop.

You can then gently wake up and go about your day's work with renewed vigor and confidence.


Try it dear.

Make the universe owe you.

Image by blipars via FlickrThe image here captivated me and it has no connection to what I am about to write.

I used to wish my friends, relatives, my husband's friends on their birthdays and wedding anniversaries. I am gifted with great memory and the receivers of my greetings are always astonished at my promptness.

Oh, enough of me! When I wish, I feel it sincerely and I am never upset that many of them forget to reciprocate on my birthday. It just didn't matter to me. It never mattered.

Very recently I read the following lines and I am glad of my attitude:
" You just wished yourself nothing but the best by wishing for others". Isn't that profound and true?

When you wish others without expecting to be reciprocated, the universe feels a large debit in its account and it doesn't like it that way. It wants to set its account right and goes about bestowing upon you its abundance.

In fact the Universe feels burdened by your gracious acts and it reaches out to you at the right time and at the right place.

Religion rules? So be it!

"Religion is the opiate of the people” — Karl Marx

We have no way of knowing what went on Karl Marx's mind when he thought of this. I also wonder what prompted him to put his thought in writing!

First let us rule the most used meaning of opiate and stick to the other one:
As per Merriam Webster Dictionary, opiate means: " induces rest or inaction or quiets uneasiness"

If this is so, why Karl Marx had linked religion to rest, inaction or uneasiness. Don't you think he had pointed to three different kinds of people? I am now able to see the implications but I don't want to get into a debate.

As far as I am concerned, I will bracket myself into the second category which is 'inaction'. My religious philosophy is this: "There is no religion". I don't judge any religious beliefs and customs. Let people follow and practice whatever they are comfortable with.

My religious beliefs kept changing till I arrived at the conclusion of no religion. So, anyone is quite likely to change their present views and beliefs. Why take it seriously and expect them to conform with my views?

Live and let live!

The most simplest way to raise current vibration is to first want it to be raised and express the same through your spoken and written words. If everything in this universe is only vibration, then, the words also carry the vibration of the author of the words.

A sample experiment:
Q: "How are you?"
A: " Just great" instead of the banal "fine" or "Ok, life is going on".
Observe your mood after you try this and also watch the vents of the day.

All the books you read, the words in them carry the intention and the vibration of the author. That's why, you feel motivated, inspired, pensive when you read spirituality related books or articles.

Today, I read an article on this same topic by Keith Varnum "Tell a Better Story about Yourself".
The author echoed my views and here is an excerpt:"If you carefully observe the vibration you're in at any given moment, and then notice the events that occur soon afterwards, you'll get a sobering demonstration of the dynamic creative muscle of your everyday words in action."

Here is a superb observation and inference:

The Universe Is Listening.

"Every time someone asks us, How ya doing? it's also the Universe asking, What will you have? What do you want today to be like?"

I feel the above tips is sufficient for all of us to think again before saying anything.

I thank Al Diaz for having published the quoted article in his newsletter.

Free personality test.

I love these tests that will interpret a few answers of mine and depict a picture of me which will invariably be different from what I think of me.

I know many people avoid taking such personality tests for sheer fear of facing the fact. Such persons simply would like to keep their own evaluation of self, intact. These people are simply not interested in raising their character and find a new self.

If you are like me with an open mind and sincerely interested in finding out your true personality, please visit Kabbalah and take the simple online personality test. It is a great self discovery tool. I am absolutely sure this personality evaluation will enhance your character and enrich your relationship with life.

HRD (human resource development) personals can use this test for the benefit of their corporate clients and students.

If you are:
* committed to making an important change in your life?
• ready to invest time and effort in your future?
• prepared to try something different?
• interested in finding out and removing blocks in you that are actually psychological barriers which turn all your efforts not very productive?

If you answered yes to these questions, then Atzmi’s Self-Discovery option is for you.

I have taken an interesting test and awaiting results through email.

Did you get the message?

I am deeply inspired and moved by an article by Al Diaz and based on that, I am writing this blog post.

There are certain things that keep recurring in our life; events, incidents and experiences which we would not have wished, might have occurred repeatedly.

We might have carefully watched over our thoughts, stayed fully on positive thoughts only, wished no harm to any one or any creature, must have been leading a compassionate life but still…

We might be fervently wishing for better turn of events and conditions but why it is not so?

Then we must grasp and digest a fact that there is something the universe is trying to tell us. There is surely a hidden purpose for the ‘not so desired’ experiences and conditions in our life.

Al Diaz says there is a reason why the same old stuff resurfaces and it is telling you to wake up!!!

There is no use to get angry at the circumstances, no use blaming others; it is not bad luck at all.

So, what should be done?

It is time you invest in your Self. Listen to your inner voice. Read new books; cultivate new habits; change your routine; reach out for new friends. Do something totally new to you!

Al Diaz has concluded his article in such a manner that it hit me hard and square and here it is: “If you decide to do nothing or very little, I still honor your path, and I still Love you as you are… The same goes if you fulfill the greatness that you already are.”

Aura healing-how effective it is?

The question of effectiveness of aura healing is not posed by me; I believe in aura healing and remote healing.

Aura means the field of energy that surrounds us. This energy is originally very pure but it either get contaminated or blocked thus depriving us of healthy energy. When deprived, we get into all sorts of physical diseases.

If anyone who has the capacity to cleanse this energy when remotely, it is said to be aura healing.

Here is one such healer called Manav Sachdeva and he has been offering remote healing & psychic advice for nearly 10 years. His accuracy and effectiveness has been commended by many.

Manav is said to cure all financial, physical, mental, emotional & spiritual problems.

You hate me and I hate you!

Wait wait! Please, read further before forming an opinion.

One of the laws of universe is the law of inclusion which means there are absolutely no exclusions. Whatever you want and appreciate will also want you and appreciate you.

So, whatever you hate, will give you more chances to hate more things. Do you want that?

Yes, I agree we are bound to have certain likes and likes. I can veer you away from that notion also but that thought system may be too radical and unacceptable for you.

So, based on the notion that we are endowed with likes and dislikes, if you practice hard to turn your thoughts away from your dislikes and always think about what you like, there is no other way but to experience more of your likes.

This is law and no exceptions.

Any new treatment for Cellulitis?

Dermatologists are rare commodity or at least it seems so. All of a sudden, I could not reach them; two of the three skin specialists that I used to consult are out of country and one could not give me an appointment in the near future.

It is my bad luck that at a time like this, I have an infection that I suspect it to be the initial stages of Cellulitis. This is the second time I am affected by Cellulitis. I sincerely wish someone has discovered a new medicine to treat this skin disorder.

I will look for another dermatologist and when I meet him, I intend to suggest he look for new treatment for Cellulitis in Epocrates Online, the free drug and disease resources.

Epocrates, Inc., developers of medical software used by over 500,000 healthcare professionals, has introduced a new web-based application. The free Epocrates Online product provides clinicians new disease database – condition overview and risk factors, treatment approach, tests to order, national medical society guidelines, and more

The power of silence-Part 7.

The whole physical activity becomes a draining and tiring bout of feverish and frantic physical movement, a sort of seeking of a very rare, precious and ethereal experience, something which is rarely obtained, something that tantalizes and eludes you forever.

Still we never stop expecting and looking forward to this experience of fulfillment. We never realize that expectation always pushes the fulfillment away from us. When we expect anything we take our eyes off the beautiful present moment and fix our eyes on a moment in future when we think we are going to be happier.

There is another totally different approach to any sort of physical expression of the love in our hearts. First off, we slow down and really slow down. We say to ourselves that we are not going to seek anything. We are not going to get anything, but we are going to share what we already have with us.

The focus shifts from taking to giving, fully realizing that we are not giving to any one else who is separate from us but to another part of ourselves. We observe that, as far as we are concerned, the other person on the bed exists only in our thoughts about that person.

For us, he or she is the thoughts about him or her and we decide what we think. He or she cannot insert any thought in our head. If the physical expression of love makes us happy, we note that we created this happiness. If we feel unfulfilled, we again realize that we chose to feel unfulfilled for some reason that only we know of.

We also acknowledge that this other person entered our life space because we matched up with them internally using our thoughts and then the amazing Law of Attraction (LOA) brought them to us. You focus on the present moment, the grace of bodily action and the beauty of your partner. You abandon yourself totally to the warmth of the present moment.

Aaah! That can be such a rewarding and unforgettable experience, when we totally lose touch with the passage of time and get glimpses of our own eternal nature.

Give them reasons to exist.

Image via Wikipedia Every human being takes a different path led by own their perspectives, wisdom and choices. The only drawback is we all expect certain things in our life path based on our wishes. There is nothing wrong in expectations.

But, when we don't find greens, water bodies and beautiful birds in our path but encounter thorny bushes, rocks and stones, bleak terrains, we naturally don't like them. We resist the experience and when we do that, we feel biological and psychological pain.

The more we resist, the more we prolong the pain.

We fail to assimilate the basic facts of life. The duality of the planet earth will present us with peaks and valleys, flowers and thorns, lakes and parched plains. We simply have to accept them as they are.

I know it is easier like that than done. But we must learn to accept the life as it is given to us. No one reaches the desired destination without some form of adversity.

Living the life involves exactly as it says-Live by letting everything and everyone else to be. Give them reasons to exist.

Isn't biology still a miracle?

Get answers to your life's questions.

Just after we cross 40, we generally try to go in and lean towards spiritualism. It is at that time we try to get answers to our life mysteries.

I am no exception and I get answers through the books I read and I feel guided towards the books that I must read which will quench my knowledge thirst.

There are several ways like mediums, dreams, clear inner voices through which one get answers provided they ask.

Emalani is a psychic-medium visionary and instructor of psychic development who says anyone (psychic or not) can receive answers to life's questions, just by being quiet and spending time in the great outdoors.

She has been a professional medium for 15 years and shares ideas and secrets for how to tap into your own 'higher self' (or intuitive side). Emalani is currently working on a murder investigation, writing a book on “Releasing the Weight”, teaching psychic development classes as well as giving professional readings.

I came to know about her through the Titus Concept newsletter. No link to her was given.

How guilts are released?

Both the forms of guilt-unconscious and conscious are frequently released but for that you must be ready.

Yes, we know what is conscious guilt-the ones we remember. We regret for our actions in the past, carry it with us to our grave as conscious guilt. If those guilts are not released before we die, that becomes unconscious guilt and remain so in our next incarnation.

If they are not released from the mind, the soul reincarnates to release the guilt.

Now, what is meant by releasing the guilt?
Releasing it to the source will absolve the soul.

How this is done?

Mostly in our dreams, they are released. Such dreams will be vivid with images and we are likely to remember the dream even after several days it happened. It may be horrible but we won't be afraid. Rather, a sense of guiltless feeling will be clearly sensed.

Ok, when these dreams will occur? Of course during sleep, but I don't mean it that way.
When we are told to forgive self and forgive others. This has great, profound meaning folks. If practiced to the fullest core like God, we are certain see a different world, the world of utopia is easily possible if every human being starts forgiving self and others.

I am not repeating what I have read simply for the sake of preaching; I am practicing what I read and seeing the results almost immediately. So, here I am sharing with you what I read and how it affected me positively.

ps: As wrote this article, Zamanta suggested me to read this blog post about the meaning of 7 repeated dreams. This can probably throw some light for your unasked question.

For children 1 to 10 years of age.

How will you deal with a kid that runs away to play, leaving behind half eaten dinner plate? While you must allow the kid freedom to play outside, you must also ensure that your kid gets all the natural minerals even in their half eaten food.

If that is not possible, I would recommend pediasure which is ideal for those who miss out and do not complete their meals or who are picky about what they eat.

Now please start entertaining skepticism about nutritional drinks. I have seen this Pedisaure Nutritional Drinks in the homes of doctors too. They are a nutritionally complete, balanced supplement designed for children 1 to 10 years of age.

Many of the parents of my students mentioned about Pediasure nutrition supplement drink to me.

AllegroMedical.com offers 55,000 products, under 50 categories and hundreds of sub-categories.

Wayne Dyer says about Esther Hicks's...

Book cover via Amazon Esther and Jerry Hicks's latest book 'Money and the Law of Attraction' has hit the number 1 on NY Times. And that news should be a happy one for all the fans of Hicks.

I just received an email from Dr.Wayne Dyer, my spiritual guru intimating me about this wonderful news and a couple of quotes from the book which of course came from the ascended master Abraham.

If there is one on law of attraction that explains to you in detail, step by step, how to use it for just anything in your life, then it none other than 'Ask and it is given' by the same authors.

So, I am sure, their new book can create several millionaires.

Is God a man or a woman?

Image of Sri Aurobindo via Wikipedia This question rarely arises in public though almost everyone who is God conscious might have entertained this question at least once in their life.

I think India is one country where Goddess ( God as a woman) is widely worshiped. Of course the same male worshipers may not behave kindly to all the women is a matter of another debate.

My husband respects women and he firmly believes that 'Godness' is the prime qualities of women. He refuses to see movies where women are ill-treated by men. He condemns the perverted imagination of the author of the movie.

I want to you read this great quote from Sri Aurobindo.
"After I knew that God was a woman, I learned something from far-off about love; but it was only when I became a woman and served my Master and Paramour that I knew love utterly.

Read God as mother as seen by Sri Aurobindo.

The one word that blocks your desires manifest.

HOW?

This is the word that blocks all our desires to manifest. Now stop! Don't ask 'How'?

You are flying to a destination. All you know is that the flying machine will take you to the predetermined destination. You don't go around asking how the plane works-right? It just doesn't concern you.

The moment the plane starts moving, many people pray for a safe journey. At that time, they don't question their praying source to reveal to them how He (God) intends to arrange a safe journey!

You have not met a close friend of you for a long time because you have lost his contact details. But you have desire to meet him and expect sincerely it happen some time. You don't wonder how it will happen; you just wish.

Just leave the 'how to God. Let him orchestrate events, move the right people at the right time towards you or towards your prayer/wish/desire. That is His job purely and He does it more efficiently than us.

So what exactly you must do!
Decide here and now what do you want in your life and write it down on a paper. Don't omit any details however trivial it may look Read what have you written daily so that unconsciously you keep regurgitating the details in your mind very frequently; you involuntarily run the picture in your mind.

That's all you need to do. Oh yes, I forgot! Expressed gratitude for what you already have.

Your mental picture will unfold into your physical life without fail but before that, you will be prompted to observe a few coincidences aka synchronicities and will take inspired action based upon your observation/recognition.

Success is yours guaranteed!

Yes, it is assured. Success and happiness is yours and so as everyoneelse's. Yes, this you must understand and acknowledge. There is no partiality shown by the universal power. Whomsoever asks, it is given.

Why it will withhold one from you and give it to me? We are all children of God's and as such, there is absolutely nothing dissimilar between you and I irrespective of the ethnicity, color, culture, tradition and belief.

God is by very nature is for all of us as we are all extensions of God. First realize and assimilate this truth and let it get rocked by anyone or any event.

With this unshakable truth and faith, you become fully confident that no force on this earth can wrench success and joy from you. You are now conscious that you are a child of God and He will never let you down!

It is time for you to go about your daily work with full involvement and passion. This is important! You must love what you do and do what you love; then happiness is yours. And when you are happy, success seeks you out and embraces you with all of its love. It will gently say to you, "My child, you are now one with me, we are inseparable".

There is no exception! It is LAW.

Just who are you?

So, you thought you live naturally just because you live surrounded by nature? The other day, what started like an innocuous conversation on human character developed into a deep spiritual topic but ended not on a pleasant note.

I am a firm believer of possessing no identity. But we all know how people label themselves based on their education, achievements, possessions, financial status, social standing, friends and emotional maturity.

Yes, there are more to the list but the idea is conveyed-right?

If one care to examine all their so called possessions and re-examine them after years, they will realize that they would now possess new things that would cause them to name a different label.
What happened to the previous label/identity?

We all pick up moral, ethical and social values along the trail of our life, keep changing them (well almost) as we pick up more so called knowledge, observe the world events, read news junks-all these build up our so called character.

But we are not born with none of them. Nothing of our present day character or nature is really natural.

We are by nature, loving unconditionally and forgiving everyone and everything. Yes, our true nature is God like!

Realize this, acknowledge it and you will never hurt anyone hereafter and you will lead a life absolute peace and bliss. Your face will shine literally because of your inner calmness.

The power of silence-Part 6

In my guided meditation, Celebration of Silence, I incorporated a lot of true sounds from nature to enhance your meditation experience. The whole exercise is about you making an imaginary expedition to a wooden cabin in the middle of a jungle. I have tried this meditation many times and I find it immensely useful in my manifestation practices. If you have not listened to it before, I strongly suggest that you give it a whirl.

When we are silent, we appreciate more. In an earlier episode, we saw that appreciation is the key to fulfillment. When we become silent, everything slows down – our heartbeat, our thoughts, our breathing.

We attain more clarity of mind. We find it easier to focus on the beauty and goodness around us. We stop depreciating, if only for a moment and see that we have already attained marvelous success in attracting to us many things we once craved for. We notice that that the bookshelf in our personal library houses many unread books that we once longed to possess.

We pull out one of them and read the words very slowly as if we had all the time in the world, relishing the sound and senses of the words. As we slow down, we might notice that the persistent feeling of emptiness, which always gnaws relentlessly at our hearts, has vanished and a growing sense of divine satisfaction and calmness has taken its place. This feeling of peace might crowd out all feelings of boredom and disease from the mind.

Those men who strive to be the alpha male seem to be drawn to the notion that every act of lovemaking is a conquest. In this picture, the focal point is the climax or the discharge or release of the tension and agony that was building up inside. At times the focal point might be the compliment that can be earned by discussing the details and boasting of the physical prowess that easily subdued the weaker partner. Such a discussion very easily degenerates into another exercise of seeking approval and acceptance. The number and the speed become more important than the joy or appreciation of the intimacy.

If wealth is not money...?

We have all heard the oft repeated cliché, "Money is not everything". Surely, we would have also dismissed the idea as something absurd.

A couple of times, I confronted the persons who said that cliché, why he said it? Because I always held the idea that wealth is more than money, I was curious to know what the premise was on which it is said that money is not everything.

No, none convinced me that they said it with some conviction. Yes, I agree that wealth is not money, although having some money is part of having wealth.

Then what is wealth? What is wealth consciousness? Is wealth consciousness is a mindset?

Let us all not forget one thing when speaking about consciousness and mind. Both are definitely not the same.

Ok, move on to WC (wealth consciousness) which literally means to be conscious of wealth. For example, when you are walking in a thick forest with the sole aim watching rare birds, you consciousness will be filled with that only-the birds and you may even not notice a lion if it crosses your path.

Like that, being WC means your consciousness is filled with wealth and abundance and not the lack of it.

Here is an article on WC that I feel will be a useful read to all.

“Attract abundance, conscious living”

A purposeful misery.

It never occurred to me that I am not devoting enough time to pass on what I learn in the realm of spiritual development. I know the allegations are misperceived but I am not going to do anything about it.

I know I am on the path shown to me by God and I am sure that path cannot be wrong. But I must confess on one thing. My life perception is changed totally and that is the design of God.

Let me tell you an incident that made me change my perception of the purpose of birth and life after birth.

I met a friend of mine after 25 years. During all these years, there has been no contact at all. He now has a daughter aged 21 but unfortunately her brain did not develop fully since birth. And she is suffering from heart ailments too.

I told my friend that there is a purpose for all this. He might not have been a compassionate person in his previous birth and now he is given the opportunity to shower love unconditionally.

Just then, another friend, who was also present gave another angle to the whole picture. He told us that this could be the other way around too. He went on to explain that the girl would have missed love altogether in her previous birth and now she is given an opportunity to experience unconditional love.

This wonderful thinking hit me hard and square. I appreciated his knowledge sincerely and I thanked him too to have opened up me.

Effectively Apply the Law of Attraction in Your Life.

We use the law of attraction in such a way that it turns out to be a law of repulsion. The law of attraction is extremely powerful. It is more powerful than any other natural forces in this universe.

If only we learn to use it effectively, we all can live in that elusive Utopia before long and there is NO EXCEPTION. It is LAW.

There are some good tools in the Internet that help us to apply the law of attraction to the purpose and the Vision Board is one such fantastic tool.

Vision Board is the most powerful software application on the market, enabling you to take the teachings of the Law of Attraction and apply them effectively in your daily life. It helps you to visualize your goals and dreams in a unique and dynamic way on your computer screen, using your personal dream images
