The Perfect Gift

April 27, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

The only gift is a portion of thyself. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

lost in fog

We’re lost in a material fog. One which focuses mostly on our needs. Also one which keeps us inside our heads.

gift yourself

Let’s get out of our heads, drop into our hearts and live through that unfathomable gateway! Now let us put our attention on others. What do they truly need? A true need can only be met by another person, not a thing. Let us be that person to others, let us give of our own selves.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM the gift, I listen and I serve.

Recommendation: The Compassionate Mind

Love?

April 14, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

Love doesn’t make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. – Franklin P. Jones

from where?

What does it mean to have love in your life? Love can come from near relatives including a life partner, it can come from other relatives and dear friends including pets, it surely comes from parents, it can come from non-physical sources such as God and even from deep inside you. Love is also ignitable via things (including nature) that are beautiful.

manifestation

To know what love is, one must practice it, feel it and give it away every day. If you don’t do that daily then something vital will be missing that day. Don’t let that happen to you. Experience it daily.

Daily Affirmation: I am love. I will be love, today.

Recommendation: Love: What Life Is All About

Expectations & Assumptions

April 4, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

Assumptions are the termites of relationships. – Henry Winkler

our experience wells

We’re born into families, cultures and stories; through them we shape our lives which include our fears, assumptions and expectations about everything and everyone. I call these our ‘experience wells’. The benefit of staying in these wells that we’ve created is safety and familiarity. If we have to grow, get along with others and break away just as butterflies do from their cocoons, we must be able to climb out of our wells.

breaking away

First recognize that everyone else lives in their own experience well. For your own peace and sanity you must come out of your well, see the world and reality for what it is, and not from the circumscribed view from inside your well. For a relationship to be healthy, all involved must come out of their respective wells and be able to embrace each other in love and forgiveness.

Daily Affirmation: I am embracing truth. My focus is on forgiving and on appreciating the beauty that lies within all.

Recommendation: Living the Science of Mind

The Core Within

March 15, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

Hear from the heart wordless mysteries!

Understand what cannot be understood!

In man’s stone-dark heart there burns a fire

That burns all veils to their root and foundation.

When the veils are burned away, the heart will understand completely…

Ancient Love will unfold ever-fresh forms

In the heart of the Spirit, in the core of the heart. – Rumi

deep connection

Through the heart can one know that which is worth knowing. If we notice we’re almost always in our heads. Thinking and analyzing. Bring your attention down to the heart; now operate from there. When you converse with another, talk heart-to-heart, connect.

uncovering that which is

There’s something far more meaningful to be found when we operate from the heart. We’re able to make a soul connection. With ourselves and with others. There flows just underneath the surface, a loving intelligence, one which seeks to connect us all, let’s participate.

Daily Affirmation: I am my heart. I act in love and I connect deep.

Only One Path …

March 10, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

So many gods, so many creeds, so many paths that wind and wind, while just the art of being kind, is all the sad world needs. – Ella Cox Wheeler

many paths

There are indeed enumerable paths. Which one is right or best? Many people believe that you’ll do just fine no matter which path you choose. In reality there are as many paths as there are people.

one needed

The path of kindness and compassion is a sure winner. When we cultivate these traits we start to embody pure love (God). Being good just becomes easier. We then instinctively know what to do in each situation. Still very hard to do, but at least now we have a shot?

Daily Affirmation: Today I will exude peace, love, kindness and compassion. Each action today will be from goodness, with the aim to serve others.

Recommendation: Peace Pilgrim

Feeling Blue?

March 9, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

I just believe that optimism is the best policy. But, sometimes it’s difficult to be optimistic when you feel a little down. At those times, I’ve found that a small act of kindness, whether it’s performed by you or someone else, can really help boost your mood up. – SaraVera

feeling down?

When you feel down, the first step is to fully become aware of this feeling. Where is it in your body? Try to trace your thoughts back to how it all started. This will help you build a practice to uncover how and when you get the blues.

be kind

One great way to get out of the blues is to help someone who needs your help. Even allow someone else to be kind to you. Try not to snap back at such an individual, receive their help graciously. Smile.

Daily Affirmation: Today I will watch as I become sad. I will take back control of my mind. I will be loving and kind, to myself and others.

Recommendation: The Power of Nice

Happier

March 8, 2010 Manu Leave a comment

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. – Martin Luther King Jr

resentments weigh us down

They occupy real-estate in our mind. We dwell on negativity. We lose precious time and fail to notice new opportunity. We go backwards.

forgive and forget

Feel lighter. Feel way better. Focus on positive expectations instead. Choose the new found time and attitude to pin-down new opportunities. Dwell on the silver lining.

Daily Affirmation: Today I refuse to be weighed down by resentment. I forgive one and all, I forgive myself. I travel in my lighter being to grander destinations. I’m smiling!

Recommendation: Even Happier
