Amma's Message on International Day of Peace

 Mata Amritanandamayi Devi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU-Wvw9t79U

Let there be goodness, prosperity, health, happiness, peace, and abundance for everyone. 

May Mother Nature forgive our mistakes and bless us with a year in which there are no natural disasters. 

May everyone’s stomach be full and may everyone have a roof over his head. 

May there be peace on every corner of the earth. 

Let us sow good thoughts and reap good actions. 

Let us sow good actions and reap good habits. 

From good habits and behaviour, we can build a beautiful life. 

Through living a good life, we can rewrite our destiny. 

The strength, courage and goodness to overcome difficult situations is inherent within each of us. We need to awaken them. 

If we have a heart that doesn’t lose hope and a mind that’s always cheerful, we will be able to see newness and find happiness in everything. 

If we are able to be loving, friendly and content, there can be no greater cause for celebration. 

May all of you become messengers of love and peace in this world! 

May grace fill your lives with peace and happiness!

Prepare your Character for the Day

 

Prepare your Character for the Day

From Bk Shivani Sister - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW_JeN0K0jE

As the day progresses, we move from scene to scene.

What is our mindset as we move from one situation to another?

How do we feel as we meet one person to the next?

We are originally loveful, peaceful, joyful, pure, powerful, knowledgeable blissful beings. 

That is our true nature, our character. 

Through daily first thing meditation, 

we need to remind ourselves and prepare this original character.

Visualize as this character how will I move throughout the day.

Just like actors prepare for their movie scene similarly we need to prepare our character.

When our character is prepared internally, 

when we move from one scene to another,

we are filled with awareness,

ready to handle the situation in an effective positive manner 

and our energy is optimized. 

We need to charge ourselves everyday

We need to charge ourselves everyday

Even the latest phones and gadgets needs to be charged once in a while.

We, humans need to charge ourselves with positive energy everyday 

so we can move forward with enthusiasm and determination.

We need to charge our inner core, deep within ourselves, 

so that our good values rise higher and higher

Our source is the divine light that is overflowing with love and compassion.

Best of all the divine source is free and is always available 

for us to plug into and charge ourselves.

The exact same divine energy is what is flowing in every creation. 

Lets charge ourselves everyday to 100% and 

make good use of the energy we have within us.

Scott Hanselman's Snippet of Wisdom

Here is my takeaway from one of Scott Hanselman's podcast: https://hanselminutes.simplecast.com/episodes/myself-not-weird-at-all

2. Be consistent in what you do to see the impact. 
3. Being charming is a real art, it needs practice.

6. We need to have the energy to live deliberately / intentionally. Don't sleep walk life!!!!
7. You can modify something only by observing and being mindful.  Not just by looking at it. 
8. What tone do you want your blog to be.
9. A positive community will mute down the negative ones. 
10. Give yourself credit for doing good things. 
11. Imposter syndrome it cannot be over with completely but can be addressed faster through mindfulness. 
12. Mindfulness, Intentional living is resetting self every few minutes a day. Reset to sit straight. Reset to answer questions effectively. etc
13. Do things that are important. Things that feed your spirit. 
14. The universe checks in with us, to make sure we are growing.

Reset

It is okay to Reset

There are days when there is so much happening around us
 and within us, it may feel like we don't know where we are heading

It is okay to Reset on those days

Reset on the basic necessities 

Reset on the things that are not working

Reset on the things that you like doing

With a Reset mindset, life will move forward more refreshed

Resetting....

My mind is the key to my paradise

⭐️Here are some enlightening points from the wonderful speaker BK Shivani:✨

“Taking charge of my mind is the simplest thing to do.

Trying to control other minds is impossible.

We can advice, we can instruct but we cannot control other's mind.

Even if someone changes they choose to change because of themselves and it is not becuase of me.

When my mind is stable and clear then I can think of solutions to respond to the situation outside me.

Situation and People are all outside of me and they will not be the way I want it to be.

Only my mind, my feelings is in me and in my control.

When two energies meet, we influence each other.

Self-Check: Do not allow bad feelings to enter my energy space. Thus we can retain the paradise inside us.
Just absorb the positive energy of others and leave the negative energy outside.
Just like at the airport security check where certain things are not allowed inside the country.

Meditation is a form of quarantine for the mind.

My mind is listening to me. It listens to the self-talk that I do.

Changing my habit is the easiest thing to do. Completely in my control. Not dependent on any one or anything.

Without getting irritated but with ease, calm, inner power, stability -> same scene, same behavior can I respond better.

Don’t give my power of my mind and my feelings to others, by expecting others to be my way.

Don’t come home depleted, it will deplete the vibrations of other members of the family.

It is our responsibility to conserve the positive energy we have and bring it home for good use for the rest of the day. “

The Letter to My Consciousness

Writing a letter to thyself in present tense and re-reading it every day will remind the consciousness who it is.....

Here is the Letter to My Consciousness

I am a powerful beautiful calm soul. 

I am an instrument in God's hand.

Everything is perfect. 

Everything around me is good. 

Everybody I know and meet are wonderful people in this world. 

Life is fantastic and just the way it has to be by God's grace. 

I have the best family and friends in the world.. 

They are always loving me, supporting me and caring for me. 

I always love, understand and take care of my family, friends and belongings. 

I always keep everything organised. 

I always pray to God in every thought, word and action. 

I always talk sweetly and I am always kind and humble. 

I am always thinking clearly and my soul and mind is always clear and blessed. 

Thank you dear God for everything we have and 

every thought, word and action that happens in our lives. 

Let’s break out of our cocoon

       The soul is wrapped like a cocoon by the materialistic things of the world. 

        The more it accumulates the more tightly it spines around itself. 

        Those Souls that are enlightening, those souls that have found a wonderful purpose to their existence have broken out of their cocoon, they have set their soul free. 

        They have spread their wings and flown out high above the sky bring joy and smiles to the Almighty Lord’s creation. 

Traffic control our thoughts

Our thoughts are like free flowing traffic. 

One after the other on and on. 

Let’s traffic control our thoughts :

Red - stop thinking for a few seconds before doing anything

Orange - calm your thoughts, mentally prepare what your next step is and breathe 

Green - move forward in the right direction in a meaningful way

I wish to be more that I am...

I wish to be a positive inspirational spirit 

I wish to be a instrument in God’s hands

I wish to be in harmony with nature

I wish to be filled in the Almighty’s love and light 

Self Reflection Moment

                      Let us take a moment to look back to the  past few days. What is the one or two things we can change to be more effective and increase an extra half an hour of our time on our self well being or spend quality time with family.

               This week I got up daily an extra half an hour early so that I could do https://do.yogawithadriene.com/home - 30 day yoga journey.

               In the evenings, instead of unproductive time spent on TV and social media, as a family we did 30 mins of prayer time to bring in more positive energy into our lives.
