THE AWAKENING

                                          

  "The self is like a pearl.To find it you must dive deep down into silence, deeper and ever deeper until it is reached"

          -Sri Ramana Maharshi                                  

There is a question which I would like to ask: Who are you and Where are you? Think and give answer to yourself.I am not asking your name and address.so think again.....

Lots of people are stressed out, they lead complex lifestyle, just running from one goal to another;one life to another... but havent we forgot to live, to live happily without being in fear, stress or anger.Make time for your searching.search your soul.search the path which can give you the ultimate happiness.Happiness with yourself and others. no matter what the situation is. You can reach this state of being happy and content through Spritiual awakening.

  " Awakening": what is the meaning of awakening....I can hear some...to be awake;wakefulness; state of being conscious....some may refer to spiritually awake, meaning realization of a sacred dimension of Reality,Being or Self.

   I would like to throw some light on spiritual awakening and how it defines you and me.Spiritual awakeninig explores the awareness in this very moment which we are living.Here we are connected with our conscious and subconscious mind and to the higher self or energy.It is something like to be born again.

   In the state of being awake, you realize who you are.The veil is lifted and reality is seen.It is the state of freedom when thoughts, fear, anger,hatred,materialistic illusions do not affect you.You continue to live your life but with a smile and vibrant glow on your face.you pull people towards you with your positive aura.

   To attain awakening you need to learn to make your mind silent. being quiet is awakening.quiet does not mean saying nothing it means not being disturbed by any negative or uncontrolled thoughts.In this state you no longer fuzz about anything.You will be happy and content being.This also does not mean that you leave your job or work but enjoying more with a meaning to life.

   Anybody can be spiritually awake, you, me or anyone.All you need is a desire, discipline and some "ME" time to work on it.If practiced regularly, you can experience the change in yourself. In todays world this can explained as "Cleansing" or Servicing the innerself with some "Silent" oil.

  There are may methods or practices which help you to attain the "awakening" state and connect with your higher self. The most important one is meditation.I have given insight about meditation in my earlier blogs.

Meditation is a practice in which an indiviual attain peace, comfort and build positive energy.It creates the path from our body to the universe where all the energy flows.

  Meditation requires just few minutes of your day and it will help you to transform into the new "YOU". Meditation also helps us to release our negative energy and help you to get closer to your higher self and to real YOU.Meditation can be done with yoga, mantras, prayers, prayer beads, music etc.

  Do this small exercise to start the awakening process: Sit in a quiet room.close your eyes.slowly inhale and exhale.chant "OM" OoooooMMmmmmmmmm.Concentrate.Thoughts will arise.let them arise and make them go....In initial days lots of thoughts will come and go.. dont push yourself to not let them arise.they will come and go. pay attention to your inner voice.quieten yourself.It is a very gradual process.It will take time depending upon your desire to know yourself and connect with your higher self.

Once you learn to quieten your mind you will no longer be affected by any adversities.You will be able to make decision which are paths given to you by your higher self.

To sum up, here are the excerpt from Wayne Teasdale's (1999) book, The Mystic Heart. Teasdale shares:

   "Being spiritual suggests a personal commitment to a process of inner development that engages us in our totality.Spirituality is a way of life that affects and includes every moment of existence.It is at once a contemplative attitude, a disposition to a life of depth, and the search for ultimate meaning, direction and belonging.The spritiual person is committed to growth as an essential ongoing life goal."

so leaving you to your soul searching path.. have a great journey...

Blessed be

Priyanka

Make way for a positive Life.....

  We hear and agree that to make our life positive and joyful, we must always think positive.Isn't it?But how many of us actually implement it in our lives.
   
      Most of us think that how can we be positive when there are negative thoughts and things happening around us.Obviously, we can not alter our thinking or way of life overnight.But if we go step by step, then it will be an easier task to develop positive attitude, positive mind,positive thoughts,positive feelings and positive life.
  
                           A positive mind generates happiness and successs

 First, get rid of negative thoughts of yourself and others too
         .Negative thoughts of other people also affect you in one or another.Their negative thoughts and attitude affect your thoughts and thus your actions which again lead to negative life.So to make way for a postitive life you must ensure that you no more think any negative thoughts and you are not close to negative people.
     You have to aware of your thoughts, popsitive or negative, then take time to analyse the thoughts and feelings.This way you can easily make aout the reasons for your thoughts.So when everytime, a negative thought pop up then slowly discard it and change it with constuctive and positive thought.

Second,change your attitude.
       You have to change the outlook towards the world, people or nature.There are sections of people who always find mistake in others.So you have to change this attitude.Be responsible for your attitude, feelings and actions.Nobody is perfect but you can be near to perfect one if you try to perfect positive in your thoughts.Always use positive words while talking with others, personally or professionally.

Third, start your day with affirmations.
     Make a habit of always starting your day with positve affirmations.An affirmation is a positive statement that something is already happening.For example, if you start your day by saying "I M HAPPY".then you are oncorporating this thought and feeling in your  subconsious mind and you will be surrounded by the positive aura of this thought.

Fourth, cleanse yourself.
  Very  unusual to hear this. how can we cleanse our innerself. very simple, meditate.Meditation not only help you to remain calm but also it will be help to move in a positive direction. just sit in with a closed eyes and imagine yourself having pour the divine yellow light from the universe into your crown to the third eye to the heart and to the base chakra. Imagine that you are throwing out every negative particle from your body out.Imagine that this yellow light is cleansing you from within and radiating you and making you glow from outside.


Last but not the least, read inspirational books or listen positve and motivational talks.
  Reading inspirational books will not only motivate you to be in a postive mood but will inspire you to inspre others too. be in company of people who are postive.

Say to yourself:
                                    "I am blessed with happiness and success"

It is absolutely incredible to see, how just saying this will bring you happiness and success in life.

Blessed be
