THOUGHT OF THE DAY:

Express your uniqueness in whatever you do. Express your individuality. Let existence be proud of you. Then life will not be felt like a burden or a drag. It will be like fragrance.

--- OSHO

The self expression of God is in endless variety of creation and our attitude towards Infinite Being must also in its expression have a variety of individuality ceaseless and unending.

--- Rabindranath Tagore

MEDITATIVE RELAXATION:

Relaxation is the body’s own form of meditation. Movement is slowed, muscle release tension, and aches dissolved. But to gain most out of relaxation, a degree of mindfulness is necessary; meditation and relaxation are therefore inextricably linked. You need to be fully present with complete awareness in the moment using all your senses.

In relaxing your body, you need to relax the mind at the same time but not through tuning out since you then become detached from the essence of true relaxation.

We fall into stressful situation in our daily life, in such situation even a few minute of deep breathing, calming and stilling the body mind can help you distress. Minimum 20 minutes of meditation to start with, increasing time slowly as you learn to gain stillness will help you fight the stress keeping you calm and clear headed.

VASTU/FENGSHUI

Noisy places:

One should avoid staying near noisy area like very busy roads, shopping complexes etc. as it disperses the energy too fast and creates an active form of yang energy. If it is inevitable to live in such places, use blue color in the house for example, walls, curtains bed sheets can be used of blue color.

Thought of the day:

Just as various rivers with different names fall into the sea, they lose their identity and become the sea itself. So also the enlightened also lose their separate names and forms and become one with Supreme.

---Hinduism

Not seeing what is pleasant brings pain: seeing what is unpleasant brings pain. Therefore go beyond pleasure and pain.

-----Buddhism

AURA --- Seventh layer—causal body:

The last layer of the aura extends about 2-3 feet of the body of a normal person to many feet or meters of spiritually elevated person. When a meditator reaches his consciousness to seventh level, he becomes one with Creator. This layer has a shape of an egg and shields and protects all auric bodies and energies around the body. It has all the information and karmas of present and past incarnations. The color of this seventh layer is shining golden light. This light runs up and down the spine nourishing the whole body .It also has past life karmas around head and neck as colored blocks.

Meditation Postures:

A Proper postures while meditating is important as it enhances the flow of subtle energies without obstruction. On a more practical level, a supported, straight spine above which a head is balanced and relaxed, promotes an open and receptive posture that helps you gain control over mind.

The most popular meditation posture is lotus posture or half lotus posture. which helps to instill a proud uplifting attitude in the mind. Also it helps to close muladhar or root chakra while in this posture and prevent the flow of energy going downwards flowing out of the body.

Closing eyes while meditating aids concentration and their visualization abilities.

Meditation with open eyes helps train you to maintain a meditative attitude in your daily activities. It enhances you awareness of being grounded in “here and now.”

FENG SHUI TIPS:

1. Always open the doors and windows of the house for at least 30 minutes a day to let fresh new chi enter the house. This helps us to keep our mind healthy.

2. Do not use red colored sofas as the red color represents fire. And it brings troubles, work pressure and obstacles in life.

3. Do not keep furniture bed or any kind of major things below beams as they creates lot of pressure on chi. And thus in environment causing pressure in our lives.

4. There should be solid wall behind a bed as it gives deep and sound sleep. Also see to it that the electric wires do not pass from that solid wall.

5. There should not be stove and washing machine/refrigerator/wash basin or toilet opposite each other as fire and water will cause disagreements.

Food for Thought:

When a man sets out on a journey,
He takes provisions with him;
If it is for one day he takes provision for two days. If it be for ten days march, he takes provision of fifteen days. And he thinks he will come back in health to his beloved friend’s parents and brethren.
How then it is that man takes no provisions for that unavoidable journey, on which one must go once and for all for eternal journey.
---Zoroastrianism


AURA:
The celestial body - 6th layer.

Celestial body, the Aura’s 6th layer extending from physical body to around 2 - 3 feet. It is an emotional level on spiritual plane. It is this level through which we experience spiritual bliss.

Reaching this level gets us connected to universe and feeling of oneness with the universe and the realization of the fact that we are of it and it is of us and we are one with God then we know we have raised our consciousness to sixth level. Unconditional love flows when there is open heart chakra and celestial chakra. The color of this level is golden silver light.

Meditation - Powerful Tool Of Inner Serenity

Meditation teaches you to be more honest with yourself and you will learn to take more congruent approach towards life. Meditation harmonizes the outer world with the inner world.
The two qualities associated with meditation traditions are compassion and wisdom.
Scientifically it is known that brain wave patterns work on four levels: beta alpha theta and delta. Beta controls analytical logical deductive qualities of left brain; It is where the physical activity and rational thoughts takes place. The alpha right brain is creative, imaginative and artistic. It is also where intuition, feeling and innate intelligence stem from. This is the best level of meditation. Endorphins chemicals that promote feelings of well being in a person and have been proved to boost immune system are releases in alpha state. It is much slower pulsating brain wave in which you reach a very deep mental stillness and access true imagination inspiration and artistic ideas. It is at delta level the slowest pulsating brain wave that is experienced by yogis who attain a state of absolute spiritual ecstasy.

VASTU/FENG SHUI

To balance yin and yang – negative and positive energy.

1. Remove all clutters as it obstructs the flow of energy.
2. There are some places in the house that remain shaded or dark. The energy flow is very low there so place a small bulb there and keep it on all the time. In some places where there is too much light put dark glass or film to lessen down too much of chi.
3. If there is a room where there is no or less activity, place a wind chime or any other constantly moving object to balance its energy.

Food for thought:

There are people who, because of their bad karmas from the past, engage in evil pursuits and selfish activities and devote no time to inquiry or worship of God. For this reason they suffer.

The most ignorant man is happy and likewise most enlightened man, each in his own fashion.

But those who are midway, being neither ignorant nor completely enlightened are wretched. They have realized the ephemeral nature of the world and are dissatisfied with its pleasures, yet they do not know bliss of God.

-UPANISHAD

AURA:

THE FOURTH LAYER: Astral Body:

Astral body is colorful composed of all different rainbow colors. It extends about 1- 1and half ft. from the body. The colors are more beautiful and vibrant than the emotional body.

MEDITATION:

Learning to still the mind.-

No particular skills are required to meditate. All you have to do is sit down and “be”.

The tool to start meditation is or training the mind is concentration .Focus your attention at one point or thought. Being in state of non doing teaches you to

cut through mental chatter termed “discursiveness” because it is an endless internal conversation moving between decision and indecision, swinging between moods and emotions, seesawing from hope to fear. Such emotions influence the decisions you make and actions you take in life.

To start with, sit in a comfortable position in a quiet and serene place and with deep slow breathing. Try to focus on something as long as you can. One may find it difficult as thoughts won’t stop pouring in. To bring in the peaceful state of mind, slow and steady practice with patience will slow down mental turbulence.
