Being Aware!

 

Being Aware!

Nothing is more fulfilling than being "aware" at the moment!

It may last only few seconds - and yet, it leaves behind lasting impression and benefits...

It relieves you of all the stress and strain for that moment and energizes you enough to face the ups and downs of life...

It doesn't solve any problem in and of your life - but yes, it does make you available and strong enough to deal with the problems of life...

It clears your mind - and that is enough for clarity of thought to pop up with solutions to your issues.

Sometimes, it shows up as change in your perception.

Sometimes, it clears the path ahead.

Sometimes, it pushes your ego and lets the Divine take charge.

Sometimes, it shows the action to be taken.

Each issue unto itself! Not everyone's problem is same. Not everything is dealt same. And that clarity comes by and by as you meditate over the years...

and that is exactly when the 'miracles' happen too!!!

Note :

For all those who are practicing "restful living" as sadhan and being "Aware" for at least 1-2 mts few times a day - are you also aware of the receiving Reiki from me as soon as you practice "Awareness" meditation?

there is a small clarification : "This Awareness Sadhan is to be done with "activities of your day" - it is not about sending Reiki to anyone. So please make that observation and follow it to benefit from this exercise. 

You can otherwise practice being aware with any other activity.....

On wow moments!

 

On wow moments!

Come rainy season in India and here at Hyderabad, India we get to hear cuckoo bird sing right from morning....wow,wow,wow!

How beautiful is this world created and given to us to celebrate life?

How wonderful is such a beginning of day!!

and How grateful I am to such a beautiful music played for me daily!!!

further to https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/search?q=restful+living 

Few of you have come back with wonderful experiences. Some have requested for continuation of this sadhan. Others are looking forward to do this for more number of days.

So, to all those who practiced this sadhan, liked this, shared their experiences and want to continue for some more days –

Let’s do this “Restful living” and living in “Awareness” meditation for one more week starting tomorrow – so from 28^th June to 5^th July (both days inclusive).

But, let me bring few changes to it.

Instead of 15mts, you can choose to “be Aware” even for just 1-2 mts.

You can as before practice this meditation of “Being Aware” while doing your daily routine like – eating, walking, talking, reading, cleaning, washing vessels, exercising, watching TV or any such activity. The entire work may go on for more than ½ an hour, but you can just be “Aware” for just 1-2mts and go back to your routine. For eg: if you decide to practice it while reading blog – then just be “Aware” for couple of minutes and then it’s ok you go back to your old way of reading. Hope I am clear?

But, it is better felt if you are “Aware” at least 5 times per day. That means you have to be aware for at least for 1-2 mts at least 5 times a day or while doing any 5 activities of your day.

And the bonus would be you will still receive 15mts of Reiki from me for every 1-2 mts of “Awareness” practiced immediately as they practice "Being Aware"….(this is for those who have come back with their experiences)

Come back with your experiences, observations of being aware and receiving reiki and also as to how these both helped you, benefitted you..

The Mystic says - on speed and speedbreaker!

 

The Mystic says - on speed and speedbreaker!

Every speed breaker reminds us that our 'speed' has been too much.

Every speed breaker asks us to slow down.

Every speed breaker wants us to be safe.

It is not a road block. It is not a punishment. It is not an insult. It is not a failure.

It is just a reminder to make us check on our speed. It is to tell us that we were going too fast in the lane that could cause 'an accident'. And that accident could have been fatal for us.

Treat that speed breaker as that. See it as that. See it for that.

Then every incident that has slowed down your speed in life will become your friend and your well-wisher.

Every incident that acted as speedbreaker is asking you to slow down.

And that slow down means 'look within'.

Universe is talking to you in its own way. 

The question is 'are you listening'? The question is 'do you understand its language?' 

'Are you benefitting from its signs?'

On problems and solutions -- 1

 

On problems and solutions - 1

Situation in our life is not the problem. The way we look at it is!

Change the way you look at the situation and see the situation take a turn for better. Many times, with just a change in your attitude and the way you perceive your life situations you find solutions where you saw problems before...

Again, situation in our life is not the problem....our nature to want to control every aspect of our life is....

Let go off the demanding nature. Let go off that need to control everything and lo! things work out well for one and all - including you!

We don't need to control people. We don't need to control the future. We don't need to control the way things are going in life. Just work on that 'fear'  that is cause of that want to control things in life and see the difference. 

Let Go!

There is no other solution. There is no need to do anything more for now!

Nothing would work too unless you work on that 'demanding and controlling nature'.

Let go!

On being a master!

On being a master!

We are blessed with both mind and emotions.

Emotions when they run our lives, it is mess.

But when we use our mind to experience emotions the same life becomes a blessing.

Are we slaves to our mind and emotions

OR

Are we using our mind and emotions as our slaves?

The answer to it gives key to abundance of every sort in our lives.

To be  a slave to our mind and emotions, we don't need to do anything. Just go with the flow.

But to master our mind we need to put in effort that causes lots of pain and suffering. But all that is worth and more when we learn the art of mastering our mind. Then every minute brings with it abundance of opportunities. Then life becomes a dance. 

Think about it!

On future!

Contd.....

On future!

Don’t go knocking at every door like a beggar seeking protection. Don’t let fear cloud your courage. Do unto yourself what you want others to do for you. You are a Reiki channel! You are given a tool wonderful to heal yourself and your life. Why waste it and seek help from outside? Heal now! Don’t wait for problem to come. Don’ think I’ll heal then…heal daily then by the time it’s time for karma to express itself, it would be so diluted that you wouldn’t even feel the pinch of it. Just think about it!

So, get up and heal.

So, take charge of your life.

Future is what you desire it to be – go change it for better NOW when you still have a chance!

On future!

 

On future!

Future is always "Fluid".

It is ever changing.

It is not certain.

It can be changed. You are taught various techniques for the same.

All predictive sciences like Astrology, palmistry and so on and so forth are science – no doubt about that. They are genuine too – there is no questioning them. But, at the same time, they are just ‘predictive’ not ‘certain’.

Everything is subject to change based on so many factors. Many of those factors are within our power to work on! Let’s look at them and use them to alter the course of future.

Let’s use the time spent on worrying about future for healing. Let’s put the time spent on worrying to good use. Let’s use the same time in a productive way. Let’s heal! Let’s work out the future. Let’s reduce the ill effects of our karma which we are to face in future if not do away with it completely with healing.

All that happens happens for good!

 

All that happens happens for good!

Sometimes, what we ask for doesn't happen.

Sometimes, what we desire seems distant and unattainable...

Sometimes, inspite of doing everything right, being in sadhan and wishing for 'valid and just' wishes, they don't seem to manifest in our lives.....?!?!?!

And those are the times, our faith goes for toss.

Those are the times when we question God's love for us.

Those are the times we question if 'sadhan' is worth being in.

Those are the times bitterness in us expresses itself!

But the good news is, those are exactly the 'right things' happening right then in our lives with our lives to set our life in the right direction.

When in spite of being in regular sadhan, being righteous (walking on dharm) and being a just person we are not leading a life desired or finding goodies (as per our definition) then know that is exactly when GOD has taken our lives in His hands. He is turning few things here and there which seems like chaos to us - to bring order in our lives....

That is exactly the testing time when we need to be more in sadhan, work on our faith and develop patience for things to unfold.

Just be - if such is the time in your life right now - Don't keep going into future. Don't revise your past again and again. Just be in now and right here. As difficult as it seems, use every technique taught to you to stay calm and go with the tide. This way, order sets forth in your life more easily and faster than you can even imagine....

Just be!!!

b. What is the cause of pain and suffering in my life?

c. If situations are not cause of pain and suffering, then who or what is?

On Sadhan this weekend! - I

Further to https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2022/06/on-sadhan-this-weekend.html I appreciate those who did this exercise.

And to Only those who did it, experienced it and then shared their experience on blog - I would like to extend this benefit for 3 more days - starting from tomorrow 22nd June to 24th June. 

Do the same exercise these 3 days - anything you are comfortable and happy doing - it can be your normal mundane - everyday routine - just be AWARE while doing it and with Reiki On and I promise to send Reiki that very 15 mts that you are aware of! 

If for some reason you don't or can't do it, don't feel bad, let it be....

Yoga day!

 

Yoga day!

Today is world yoga day!

Let's do yoga at least for an hour today! It need not be whole of one hour if you can't....

maybe you do it 4 times of 15mts each.....

do just as much as you can....don't THINK you can't. You CAN and you have it in you....do it....

Physical body is the ONLY thing we associate completely with and understand or relate to. Soul and other things are just words for most of us. So let's start with keeping the thing that we understand 'healthy' for starts. 

Let's see that we maintain the body that supports us healthy so that we can achieve all that we desire to achieve and enjoy of this world. Let's make fewer trips to Doctors - now or later. Let's work towards a healthier us!

Don't let laziness get in the way. Dust it out. Take charge of your life and body. 

You are the master of your mind. Don't let your mind control you.

On Shraddha!

 

On Shraddha!

Each unto his shraddha!

Each one receives as per his shraddha. Shraddha removes arrogance. There is no sense of 'entitlement' in shraddha. Shraddha believes that it is 'grace or mercy' of the 'giver'. Shraddha takes away feeling of 'I got it or I have to get it as I deserve it'...

With Shraddha comes surrenderence. With Shraddha comes attitude to ‘just follow’ without questioning the ‘order’ or analysing the ‘order’.

Shraddha increases the ‘faith’ of the sadhak. It increases his internal strength to face ups and downs of his life. It removes his fear. It builds him. It brings out his latent strengths to the fore! It lets his ‘best version’ to shine forth! Shraddha gives ‘tejas’ to the one who has it!

Shraddha doesn’t want anything in return. And yet when it is exhibited it gives all to its owner.

One who ‘tries to develop’ Shraddha to get something doesn’t get both Shraddha and the things of this world!

Think about it!

What does this post clarify on the same?

How is shradda related to your homework and your experience?

Why is there a difference in your experiences when the HW given is same to all?

What is the basic difference between two sadhaks and their returns (or what they have received from their sadhan)?

On rest days and Sundays!

 

On rest days and Sundays!

I believe Sundays are given to us for rest! Rest means to "To be resting in the ONE who is perfect!" 

We end up doing more than ever in and through the week and so Sunday comes as 'much needed break'. 

But do we need rest this way or do we need to learn to work in such a way that we don't need rest?

Taking rest is also important. But learning and doing it right is a life long process. To the one who has learnt and mastered it, every day is a holiday. Every place a place of vacation. Learn the art of doing nothing. Because all 'great works' are done effortlessly in 'doing nothing'.

Change of weather!

 

Change of weather!

There is change in weather (in Hyderabad, India).

Summer is left behind silently. And gently - ever so gently rainy season has walked in. The change was not gradual. It seemed all so sudden and overwhelming and yet it was so organic that the change didn't give us the jolt that "usual change" gives us.....

Some changes are just like this! All and sudden and yet so acceptable as if the new 'change' was there all through!!

Enjoy the 'nowness' for what it is now - for things are going to change - for better very soon and then you will miss this 'now' period of your life - but it wouldn't be possible to go back to 'now'. 

Don't hate being here. Don't miss out on living and enjoying the present time. 

Once changed, this time can never go back to what 'it was' ever! 

On Sadhan this weekend!

 

On Sadhan this weekend!

This weekend let's do 'Restful living'.

From tomorrow friday 17th to sunday 19th - be with yourself for at least 15 minutes.

For this all you have to do is at least one of the following at least once a day -

a.Watch Nature as in Sunset, sunrise, walk in the garden looking at trees

b. Listen to your favourite music- rock, metal and such music is out of league and bounds....any other form is good enough

c. Play any sports/games with your family/friends

d. do anything that gives you joy - say painting, drawing, singing, dancing, cooking anything...

Just remember to do all this with 'Reiki On' and be "AWARE" while doing that for that whole of 15 minutes.

Any part of the day you do this, you will receive 'Reiki' from me that minute itself - the whole of that 15 minutes. Do this to understand what it means. 

get back with your experiences.....

Happy "Resting".....

rukna bhi zaroori hai chalne ke liye....

रुकना भी ज़रूरी हैं चलने के लिए। .... 

If we need to keep walking, we need to rest too....
