Every pain carries within itself the key to heal it.............we only need to find it by looking beyond pain!!!!!!!!

9. Think how to do more in the time available.
For e.g.
During the TV program break / during the program
a. Do pranayamam
b. Clean up the room
c. Clean up your purse / hand bag
d. Write list of things to do for next day.
e. Fold the clothes
f. Do reiki

Think and the list would be so huge and we complain of no time available to do these things.

10. Learn something new. Painting, dancing, cooking, language, anything.................

11. Maintain a journal daily of your feelings, your routine……….

12. Post your experience / doubts on this blog regularly.

13. Get up at 3.00 am and do at least 10 min meditation. Slowly, after 3 months increase it by 5 min or more.

(Note: this does not apply for 3rd degree and above students…masters included…they should meditate at least for 45 min daily at 3.00 am)

14. Most importantly, accept laziness as part of persona and disown it immediately. Don’t own it as your character. No excuses of sun signs, stars, etc allowed here.

15. Give up that habit which you consider as your weakness NOW – any addiction, gossip fault-finding , worrying, gambling, drinking………

16. Do re-birth meditation with “laziness”.

17. Full body Reiki Saying “I am completely active, dynamic healthy, blissful person”.

18. Do let go meditation with laziness.

19. Concentrate more on muladhara.

If you know any more tips, do share it with fellow- healers and come out with your experiences. Till I write on other vikaras…………All the best!!!!

Let’s see how to break the habit of lethargy by following simple techniques........

1. Go, get up and pick up the phone. Be the one to open the door when the door bell rings. Get up to switch on/off the TV get that glass of water on yourself, in short stop telling or requesting others to do small and simple work. DO IT YOURSELF!

2. Stop pitying yourself.

3. Start smiling and spread cheer around.

4. Stop using guilt to have control on the people in your life.

5. Follow the exercise regime. Go for a walk.

6. Start dusting the housing at least ½ hour per day and stick to it. Try to maintain cleanliness around you and your home.

7. Don’t do it in a single day, get tired and fall in your routine for next few years. Start slow. Maintain it regularly. Set aside say ½ or 1 hr or 1 day to clean-up the mess that you created/ are living in.

8. Don’t give excuses for not being disciplined. Set aside at least ½ hr at the start for “Sadhan” say, yoga/pranayamam/Reiki/ meditation and regularly follow the regime. Slowly increase the time for Sadhan.

Work on this till I get back with few more tomorrow………….pls do share your tips…………

Now, let’s see how lethargy reflects at intellectual level. We are looking at the general behavioural pattern of the persons who are effected by lethargy at intellectual level. It comes out as:

1. Inaction even in thoughts is very dear to them.

2. Usually they are averse to new ideas, concept infact anything new and change is a very bad word in their world. They come out as closed persons to change.

3. Some smart ones simply memorize all the data and vomit anytime and get away saying they know all that is new and are ever so updated. But, infact they hardly put to practice any of the new ideas.

Spiritually, it is most damaging and comes out as the following habits or nature of the person:

This is the most dangerous place where it affects the most. They wouldn’t meditate or participate in any regime that can change their pattern of thinking, feeling and living.
Will postpone doing any ritual that’s bound to change them. Even simple exercising would be a put-off for ages.
Presume they are growing spiritually by memorizing the right words and repeat them at the right place. They only deteriorate further – but unfortunately, they hardly acknowledge this – infact they think they’ve crossed quite a distance spiritually when compared to others.
Not having experiences, they get away saying, “But, I am not interested in them. I just want to do Reiki.”
Infact mind game is so perfect with laziness that it becomes a vicious circle and one is not even aware that it is there and needs to be broken in the first place.

How to break it by following simple steps is what we’ll look into in the next 2-3 days to come…till then look for lethargy and find it in the most unimaginable places and thought patterns…..and enjoy this discovery……

I am just giving few of the symptoms with which one can catch lethargy At Emotional Level :

1. They have the “I am going to CRY now” look always pasted on their face. They carry sadness and suffering writ all over their features.

2. Their smile is also very painful.

3. Cheerfulness is the last word in their book of life.

4. They carry the burden of pain unlived all through the day.

5. Worry is their only secret favourite past-time.

6. Any mention of any activity invokes only “I am not interested” response in them.

7. Many times they consider themselves near or almost “Enlightened” and think and believe their depression and moron-nature as “detachment”.

8. Liveliness, cheerfulness, Smile all seem to take lots of their energy and hence hardly express themselves through them.

9. They get the attention they want by “Self-pity technique” or “I love all so much, but no one listens to me” technique.

These are just few of the examples….be aware to catch lethargy at its play through feelings and acts in our day-to-day life and situations…..trust me….the more we know and recognize it and more we feel surprised and understand the way these attitudes run our lives…..


All the best in this discovery…..

Let’s see how inertia or lethargy reflects at various levels of our life.

A. At physical level – it comes out so obviously yet is so misleading and goes unnoticed. Confused? Well, simple! Take an e.g. of a person who shouts from roof tops saying he/she likes cleanliness or efficiency and so sits – mind you SITS and orders people around to do all the chores continously.

The most common weapon used by such people is guilt. They make a person feel in-efficient, good-for-nothing by continuously blaming them, finding fault with them and control them with guilt. All the time, mind-you, they themselves do very little except taunting, commanding, ordering, finding fault etc.

Their biggest complaint would be “I am so depressed, frustrated because of this person. This person hardly performs to the mark inspite of me continuously encouraging them, reminding them (which is always an order with a taunt!). I am breaking down ONLY because of this person.”

Most of the time, the work these people do is far below the mark.

They never attempt doing most of the things with the statement “Oh! But, I can do it better than them anytime, but, since I have to take care of managing these people, I can’t find time to do these little jobs.” Surprisingly, they get others to believe these statements too!

Infact, they pick up friends and their circle of people are also of similar mind set.

Many times they come out as obese persons.

Their place of residence/ work mostly is unkempt and untidy.

Their give away signs would be asking someone always to pick-up phones, open the door etc. In short, they make maximum effort not to get up from their place and get work done by others.


We’ll see how it works at emotional level tomorrow…..

Rightly observed!
If just ‘anger’ has so many facets to it, what about other vikaras?
Let’s just get a glimpse of few of our vikaras to understand our “mind game”. Only then would we be able to beat it in its own game.

Let us understand the good and bad of laziness.
“Baddhakam parama shatruvu”.
“Laziness is the biggest enemy of oneself”.

Laziness is experienced at various levels of being. We can catch it if we know its symptoms.

It comes out as inertia. And it affects all aspects of our life.

It is the most dangerous, irritating (to the one who is active, dynamic and enterprising) and damaging vikaras of all. It belongs to the thamasic type of quality. Thamasic are such of qualities which are most basic and relate to Asura nature of the being. It alone is enough to stop personal growth in physical well-being, emotional balance, psychological and intellectual well-being and financial abundance.

How it reflects in our physical, emotional and other selfs - we'll see for the next 2-3 days to come....

How is angry a lose-lose situation?
Well, when we are angry:

1. Physically, we lose health by developing ulcers, acidity, and hyper-tension. This has been medically proven too that anger increases our susceptibility to diseases and decreases our immunity to disease.

2. We are punishing ourselves for the mistakes of others. Is it a wise decision? Are we stupid or intelligent beings? Intelligent beings can’t afford to act stupid.

3. We lose our peace of mind.

4. We lose clarity of thought and will take decisions that are harmful for us and our loved ones.

5. We are moving away from our ‘target’ that is “getting the person do what we want him to do” or “stopping the person from doing what we don’t want him to do”.

So, you see it is an all and all lose-lose game. And good management technique says “always play a win-win game, never a lose-lose game”.

So you see if you want to suffer, than you can choose to be angry but if you want to change the situation then, you are condemned to choose healing over anger.

Gave you all the needed break to heal all that anger you generated because of reading the posts related to anger...........Let’s wind up that session on anger............
In spite of following all the above techniques, if still anger persists as it is, then what?

- Accept Y as it is. Snake can’t lose its venom even after 1000 years. You can’t go against nature.

- Drop the person/situation and move on in life.

If this is so, then why heal in the first place?
Healing means through Reiki for me.
And Reiki means: “To heal all such pains that you need not endure and to give strength to you to endure such of pains that cannot cure and also to give you clarity of thought to know the difference between the both. In 99.9% situations it is healed with the above techniques. So, we follow them to get the desired results. If we get, no one is more happier than us. In very rare cases, things may not shape up as per our desire, then healing gives us strength to endure it and also to grow stronger and more understanding. We should have benefited in some way from the situation. It can be a learning and an enriching experience. Then, the healing hasn’t gone waste. It is a win-win situation then. As, if things shape out our way we win. And if they don’t then we grow as a person, so we win.

Without giving a complete commitment to change, how can we expect it to come through?
So, we tried, learnt and moved on with life.

So, this way healing is a more complete and a win-win strategy than an ‘anger’ technique which is a lose-lose strategy.

Envy is a waste of time.
You already have all you need.

Where am I investing my energies and time? In matters that help me to be happy, successful and peaceful or in matters regarding people and situations that keep me sad, unhappy, angry and limited?
