- How to turn something uninteresting into something useful and beneficial for us?
- Instead of justifying how you can't find time to do things that you say you want to do, ask yourself how to do them?
- Ask yourself how to fit things that you wish to do in your daily routine without feeling burned down.
- Make 'sadhan' easy and beautiful.
- Sadhan or healing is not a burdensome task.
- If you consider it as painful, troublesome and tiring, then you are doing it wrong in some way.
- Meditation is to beat the stress. If meditation itself gives you stress, then - ???
- If you are stressed about meditation, then purpose of meditation is lost.
This blog deals with self awareness under the light of knowledge. the knowledge would help us to drop the acquired self - ego and in the process we would be able to see our real divine self.

World Metta Day – 22nd March
World Metta Day – 22nd March
Today is celebrated as World Metta Day. The word “Metta” means benevolence and love for all beings of the World! This day calls all people from all walks of life and of all religions to practice one to two hours of silent Metta Meditation. This is done all over the World from noon to 2 pm – local time.
History of Metta Meditation says that a group of 500 Buddhist
monks settled in a forest during a rain retreat. There, the monks felt
unwelcome and unwanted by the forest spirits. They came back and reported to
the Buddha about the same. They even requested him not to send them back to
that forest. Buddha asked them to meditate with an open mind and heart. He also
emphasized that they have welcoming thoughts and feelings during the
meditation. Later, he sent them back to the forest. Now, the monks found that
the spirits were welcoming. These monks now found their practices based on
“Metta Meditation” from then on.
As Reiki channels, those who have completed Karuna
Reiki, do “forgiveness meditation” today!
Others can do “Rebirth meditation” with “anger, dislike,
resentment, hurt, conditions, expectations or hatred”.
Higher degrees who have been taught “Love Meditation”
do that.
You can also do “Earth Healing”.
Every technique that takes you away from fear and towards accepting yourself and others is a "Metta Meditation".
As Reiki Channels, you have been taught the “Metta
Principle” in so many ways and through so many techniques.
Those who are reading this and not Reiki Channels or those who are Reiki Channels but not under me (as they may not know the techniques that I have mentioned above) - to you (don't feel left out), do 1- 2hr simple chanting "Om shanthi, shanthi, shanthihi".
If you are not an Indian or one who practices some other religion and have a problem saying "Shanthi" as it is in the Sanskrit language, you simply sit and chant "Let there be peace within me. Let there be peace in the world. Let peace permeate through the entire Universe". That should do!
A sadhak is one who uses every excuse to do some or
the other technique. He knows that every technique is a tool that takes him
nearer to Himself!
I always have said and believed that “Love is all that
needs to be experienced. And healing is all about removing every obstacle that
stops us from experiencing it in toto!”
Come, let’s fall in love with ourselves – once again!

We have traveled a lot on this journey. Now the question is "What has this journey taught you about love?"
How much have you been able to experience it, live it, or understand it?
How has the definition of love changed before Reiki and after for you?
How have various techniques to increase love in you and in your life helped you previously at you various points of life?

Gratitude everyday!
Gratitude everyday!
Every day brings with it millions of reasons to be grateful for....
Let's use our emotions to celebrate life....
Let's use our emotions to express our self....
Look within....take time to retrospect. Take time to be with 'self'. If even you don't have time to spend time with yourself, how can you expect others to take time for you?
If even we are not able to stand being with ourselves (that's what happens to us when we meditate and that's why we don't meditate), how can we expect others to like our company? No doubt we have issues in our relationships....Once you mend that fence all other things fall in line effortlessly...
# being self, meditation, mindfulness, aware, being aware, i am what i read, on pain and suffering, source of suffering, peace of mind, miracles, gratitude, healing self
also read suggested : https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/search?q=being+self
Questions answered :
What do we do to mend our relationships?How to get what we want in life?
How to receive grace and blessings from Universe/Guru/elders/God?
How to heal our karma?
What is the source of pain and suffering?
How to let miracles happen in our life?
What am I doing wrong that things in my life are going all wrong?
How stopping for a while brings order in the outer world?
Understand the following points :
- Connection between how you feel and how it reflects in your life
- Need to slow down and take notes on self
- need to know self
- on being aware
- being mindful
- Being aware of self is not a luxury but essential for all the abundance in life..
- Know how we are pushing all that matters to us in our life away from us by being ourselves - all because we are adamant about being lazy, not wanting to know self, give me what I want then I will sit in meditation etc excuses...
- Learning to know yourself is the first step towards loving yourself...
Enough to loving the 'image of who we are'. Let's daringly look at who we actually are. Then, only then we can shove away all that we don't like about how we express ourselves and bring order in our life...- You are the seat of abundance. Why limit yourself to self-pity image by denying yourself of that abundance.
- Come let's embrace ourselves....

Me, My Guru – Indra and I
Contd.....
One who is lost in penance with one pointed mind and complete enthusiasm can win over even death - Saint Thiruvalluvar.
This
was the routine. Few days passed.
Contd.....
(*bhiksha – alms received by Brahmins from the village they stayed in. this way, the Brahmin caste would be able to devote all their time and energy in pursuit of spiritual knowledge. This way the group of Brahmin would be rich in spiritual strength and that would be passed on to the next generation who would come to them as students)
# My, my Guru, Indra and I, purpose of life, right and wrong, on following orders, on breaking rules,
also read : https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/search?q=buddha+alms to understand how 'ONLY WHEN WE take what other gives" do we suffer. The other person can give anything. We can condition and expect him to give ONLY blessing, love, respect, affection, material comforts and benefits BUT he can choose to give anything away from any of our expectations. It is our CHOICE as to what we choose to take when given. WE NEED NOT TAKE EVERYTHING GIVEN BY THE OTHER. WE HAVE A CHOICE TO REJECT. There in lies our clarity of thought. There in lies our freedom. There in lies our power.
Self healing tip :
How to avoid disappointing Guru or for that matter anyone in particular?
We get angry at others for following reasons:
When we expect something from them
They don't fill our expectations and conditions
The 'Dharma' to be followed in any relationship is instead of looking at 'what is in it for me' to 'how can I contribute in this relationship?'
Homework :
Meditate. Look within and search for any one relationship where you think on the grounds of 'giving' instead of benefiting or receiving. Are you not happy in that relationship?
Now, apply the same principle in every other relationship in your life. Start with the one where you have maximum complaints and you think is the cause of misery in your life.

Putting Quarantine to good use!
Contd....
Next the pollution levels have come down drastically. It is noticed by so many. The rough cough, gale ki kharash (roughness or irritation in throat), early morning sneezing of many has come down surprisingly. And, that too without any meds.
- How to get back our health?
- How to put this free time to good use?
- If we don't take time to take care of our body then we have to take time for our illness.
- At best, most of the illness can be avoided by keeping our body healthy.
- Healthy lifestyle, right eating and sleeping habits, right breathing can keep us away from most of the modern day diseases we live with.
- Body can be repaired if only mind puts in effort in the right direction
- Healthy body should always take priority over the money we wish to earn.

Me, My Guru – On death and healing
Contd........
- Expectations, desire and belief if understood right and applied right can become our strengths. If misplaced they can create havoc in ourselves and our life.
- They can charge us with energy enough to win the world.
- They have power to drive us crazy and in turn drive people away from our life.
- If your expectation is already driving you crazy, making you restless then look around you. Do you see smiling faces looking at you? Do you have people who will stand by you or wanting to spend every minute available to them to be with you? If answer is no for even one of the above question, then sit and meditate on your expectation. Know its nature. Know how it is sending wrong vibrations that is sending away good things and right things from happening in your life.
- If the energy you are sending is not right, how many ever people who invite or find coming into your life, your life will always be a mess.
- Change in the name of the person or the name of the relationship will not and can not give you that 'elusive' happiness you are looking for if you can't change the energy of expectation you are generating.
- No body need punish you for who you are!
- We are curse unto ourselves with the energies that we generate!
- We are blessing unto ourselves with the energies that we generate!
- Which one are you?
