What It Takes To Be Sane…

February 20, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

They are sane who never feel persecuted, never feel left out and never feel hurt by anyone or anything. – Vernon Howard

sanity?

To be sane takes a sane mind. A sane mind is peaceful and remains unaffected by others and circumstances. A sane mind is not serious. It’s playful. It loves to have fun. It’s also curious. It doesn’t get bored.

take it easy!

When we take our selves too seriously we will be hurt. When we put too much attention on us we think life is all about us. It’s little wonder that we get hurt. When we feel important we’re bound to feel left out. Instead let’s stop defending ourselves, let’s stop being aggressive in getting back at others. Let’s breathe deeply and take it easy. We’re good as is. Let the rest of the world fight imaginary emotional battles.

Why Some Things Must Stay Undone…

February 19, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone. – Lin Yutang

perfection

In our own ways we seek perfection. Some of us want everything super clean. Others want to find what they’ve lost. Still others must finish watching all episodes of a TV show before they feel good. Many want to get it all done.

state of mind

It’ll never get all done. Things around the house won’t stay clean. There will be yet another TV show to start watching. Some things will always stay lost to their ‘owners’. Perfection comes from accepting that life is imperfect. Perfection is just a state of mind. How will we adjust our thinking today?

Meditation Tips, Quotes - 2013, Stillness

How To Meditate…

February 14, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It’s a way of entering into the quiet that’s already there—buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day. – Neale Donald Walsch

definition

There are numerous definitions of meditation. One popular idea is that thoughts must cease for us to enter a meditative state. Certainly that could be classified as meditation; however meditation is also:

* Discovering and resting in the peace that resides within us

* Making direct contact with God

stillness

This peace that is nestled just under our stream of thoughts can be experienced. The trick is to be in a state of non-judgmental and relaxed awareness. That means we just sit and be. We become relaxed in body and mind. We stay alert, i.e. not fall asleep and maintain awareness of all that goes on inside us, without manufacturing new thoughts about any of it. Once we experience this peace it’s a great opportunity to:

* Pray and make direct contact with God

* Seek inspiration, which appears in the form of sudden thoughts and ideas

* Do creative thinking and planning

How To Understand Fear…

February 13, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

Fear lives inside us. We create it. – NamasteNow!

fear

We all struggle with fear. Some of it is overt and quite palpable, we feel it. Then there’s the kind that just lurks and does even more damage. When we feel uneasy or nervous we ought to name the fear. We must start becoming aware that we’re fearful if we’re to diffuse that feeling of discomfort.

awareness

Fear resides inside us. It’s born of our thoughts, conscious and sub-conscious. We manufacture thoughts constantly and many of them construct the body of fear inside us. Once we become aware of this activity, the very act of awareness can begin to dissolve the fear especially if we also stop manufacturing new ones!

What To Do When Loss Hits Us…

Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes around in another form. – Rumi

loss

We must lose if we’re to gain. If we’re up we’ll surely see the downside. Nature and Life flow in such a cyclical rhythm. Can’t avoid loss. How do we deal with it?

Why Tomorrow Never Comes!

February 7, 2013 Manu Leave a comment

Tomorrow deceives. It never arrives… – Namaste Now!

when…

When I’m an adult I’ll be so happy. When I can afford my sports car I won’t need anything else. When I have a life partner I’d want no more. When I have my dream job I would have arrived. When I’ve paid off my debts I’ll be done. When I have $5M I’d be stress free. Really? Seriously? Who are we kidding?

now

Tomorrow deceives in another way. When it does arrive it’s still ‘now’. There’s no other experience of time, ever. It’s always now. Which means we have no choice but to make the most of NOW. Let’s be more awake to it…
