Recipe for happiness!

 

Recipe for happiness!

Don’t make everything about YOU!

Stop seeing “What’s in that for ME?” always!

Don’t keep looking for excuses to make yourself “a victim”.

 

And then, just like that – you’ll have people appreciating you, liking you, being there for you. And even when you weren’t searching for it, “happiness is there for you”.

 

Such a simple recipe and yet, so difficult for all to follow and benefit!!??

 

I wonder why?

Let go to be peaceful and happy!

 

Let go to be peaceful and happy!

The cause of all evil is our desire to be superior to others and our selfishness!

The cause of all suffering is our desire to have it our way ONLY! The more we let go of our adamant nature the less we suffer!

The more we let go off of our controlling nature, the better is our relationships.

The more we let go off of the demand to have and lead a life “as per our imagination”, less are the  problems we have in life.

We are fixated in our tastes and preferences. Nothing wrong in that – until those very tastes and preferences become so important and big that we consider everything else happening and receiving in our life as “suffering”. Change this perspective and lo! There was never a problem.

And therefore, inspite of you looking to solve a problem you didn’t get a solution and there can be no solution given to a problem that never was!

A walk to remember!

 

A walk to remember!

I took a walk!

A walk to remember!

There was traffic. There was noise. There was chaos all around. And yet, I felt silence.

There were people. There were vehicles all around – honking, buzzing, applying brake – but still, I was calm.

A walk – a very simple walk – walk with myself. A walk for myself. A walk to remember!

It was a reminder of a possibility – “There is peace that can be found even amongst the chaos.

We can tap into solitude even amid multitudes.

We can experience happiness even in the mundane routine of our busy lives.

A Walk is not an exercise. It is not something done with an end in view. It is an excuse and a way to connect with myself - every day of my life. And I love it!”

I liked it!

For it was a walk to remember!

Situations don't make or break us!

 

Situations don't make or break us!

Situations don't make or break us! Our response to them does!

Happiness, bliss and satisfaction are not related to situations in life!

They are dependent on our ‘attitudes’.

Situations are the facts of life. They arise based on our intent, desires and karma!

All that is based on our past actions.

But, our bliss and contentment are dependent totally on how we react or respond to what comes our way by way of our karma or destiny!

How we react or respond is the only thing which is in our hands!

We can be complaining in heaven??!!

Or we can be celebrating in hell!

Choice is ours to make!

And the choice depends on our attitudes.

And our attitudes are based on our psychic impressions.

And our psychic impressions impact our emotions.

And if we can work our those emotions of ours, we can create heaven wherever we are!

But, if we let our emotions and desires run amok, we end up living in hell however we are!

Think about it!

Me, My Guru – On surrender – Tale of two neighbours

Me, My Guru – On surrender – Tale of two neighbours

Pointers to understand the post:

““Guruji, I surrendered and yet things didn’t go my way. And you still ask me to believe in God? How can I trust Him if HE doesn’t fulfill my wishes – MY WAY!” asked Vaishnav.” – This is the very oft repeated question/complaint/doubt. The anger that stems from it or that is behind this question/complaint/doubt is also a very common one.

There are two ways of living our lives. One is that we assume to be “normal” (quoting others in our lives) and in justifying our demands/desires and in being angry/frustrated/disappointed/depressed/hopeless and so on.

The other is more “The Right way” and hence less taken one too. It involves that we address our state of mind instead of the issue in our lives. We look at ourselves and see how and why we are feeling a certain emotion. In this path, we take responsibility for our well-being and state of mind in our hands. We stop blaming others for the mess in our lives. This path empowers us in the long run.

But then, as I already said, this is the path less taken and hence assumed to be “not for everyone”!!

“He was fuming with anger. And to him, he was justified. He was wronged by our Guru, Reiki and God. They have let him down. He had every right to be angry with them – or so he thought!” – Look at the words here. It is clearly said, “to him, he was justified for his anger”. Is it not so with each one of us in every situation in our lives when we think we are suffering our anger/hatred or any such emotion because of others? We ASSUME, I repeat, assume that we are justified in feeling so. As long as we give power to others to take away our peace of mind, we will be victims of our situations. We live in an assumption and belief that if the situation in our lives gets corrected we will be happy. It never is so! We think if people in our lives change for good we will be happy. This too is never right.

Look at the desires and emotions. Sit in meditation. Know their cause. Know their impact on you. Know their hold on you. Become free of their hold on you. That is true freedom! That is empowerment. There is no other way to happiness and freedom!"

Question time:

How was the post?

What did you understand?

Was the post useful to you?

How will you apply in your life?

Any other points worth mentioning????

We - The Creators of our Hell and Heaven!

 

We - The Creators of our Hell and Heaven!

The Mystic says “We are the ones creating our hell and heaven.

We are the ones with desires that drive us crazy.

We are the ones that long for permanent happiness from the changing and impermanent.

We run our life without a clue of “Who we are” and “Why we are the way we are”.

And yet, someone out there is responsible for our joys??

Someone out there is responsible for our pain and suffering.??

Someone out there is bad and cruel????

We are the “Good ones”???

Till the day we stop and question all this, we are going on the roller-coaster ride of pain and suffering ONLY!

Wake up!

Know right from wrong!

Choose happiness over pain.

Know the cause and do away with it!”

Sadhan for January 2025 – heal others or Earth!

 

January 1^st 2025

Sadhan for January 2025 – heal others or Earth!

 

Emotions are high at the start of the year – always for almost everyone!

Hopes touch sky high.

Enthusiasm needs no invitation.

It’s best to heal and be in sadhan when our every feeling, emotion and every part of ourselves is feeling good!

So, this month let our sadhan be to express our joy and happiness.

Let’s share what we feel with others.

Those who are happy share that joy with Mother Earth – heal the Earth at least 3-4 times per week.

And those who are hellbent on “enjoyment” heal one or the other relationships (closest to you). Do emotional healing with any one of the family members at least 3-4 times a week.

You can do it with the same member for the entire week.

OR

You can do one with one family member every week that way covering 4 family members this month.

Choice of course and as always is yours!

Come back with your experiences – on weekends and at the end of the month!

# heal the earth, heal others, on giving, receiving what we give,

Year end bonus – Grace healings – 2024

 

Year end bonus – Grace healings – 2024 

Sent healing – 3 days – to all those who have been giving feedback, observations, explanations, asking doubts, and sharing their experiences during this year! I don't grade any of your observations, experiences or feedback. They all are the same. And every feedback deserves validation. 

Sent to Swathi “double dose” for going that quality that she developed, exhibited and applied in life – give back all that you received to the Universe in her small way.

She, whenever received Grace healings from me, immediately sent reiki to someone – be it Mother Earth, animals or so – for a set number of days. That is the quality we need to develop.

Receiving something be it blessings or prayers even, from elders, parents, teachers, Gurus, healers, Universe or God is not our right!

It is not that we are entitled to that!

That’s why it is called “Grace”. It is a way they are showing their appreciation, happiness, or affection for us. It has to be earned. And it is earned well and right when we develop an attitude that is “Divine in nature”. And what better quality that “selflessness” of passing on our blessing to others??!!

Learn from all these examples and apply them in life and grow in abundance.

It is easy to cry and blame others for receiving something as a “favour”.

We can end up being jealous of them.

We can play a victim card.

But, we can also take the high road and work on our attitudes that stops us from receiving “grace”.

Each one has a “Freewill”.

We have right to lead our life our way!

And that starts with our “choice”.

And those little choices make or break our fate for us!

Choose right and grow in abundance.

Choose wrong and suffer our own doing!

This year, let’s look back and learn our lessons right!

Let’s learn to work on the areas that need to be healed.

Next year, same time, may we have fewer regrets than this year at least in this regard!

Cheers to that!

Grace healings - Spring cleaning – feedback

 

Grace healings - Spring cleaning – feedback

While I appreciate any form of feedback, observations made, experiences and understandings shared, this had been one of the best ones in terms of clarity of thought, precision and vividity. https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2024/12/on-spring-cleaning.html

And to show the happiness, appreciation, and validation of the same, I sent “Grace healings” to all three for the past one week.

Every growth in each one of you is celebrated by the “right kind of person” who desires your growth in the right direction for no benefit of his.

Every growth is appreciated always by the Universe.

Every growth represents the amount of healing you have done.

Every clarity of thought represents the chunk of healing done and its impact on your perspective, understandings and application in your life.

You all must of noticed how I share some questions “asked either by student in the story or randomly in pointers” that are fundamentally common and reflects the lowest or lower strata of thought process. That is the point from which the journey of our understanding starts. And you three have shown how much one can grow in that area.

At the same time, don’t let arrogance get into your head.

Don’t think this is the Olympic Gold. Oh, NO! It is just the beginning. There is lots to be covered in this area and lots of work needs to be done too for the same. So, buckle up, enjoy the appreciation but do not become complacent. Hold your seat and keep up the speed and if possible even increase it a bit (even 5 mts of extra healing would be good enough for the start).

Next year, who knows what that healing would have healed and how your clarity of thought would have been impacted??!!

Good going!

Keep going!

But, still a long way to go! Keep walking, keep healing and keep smiling!

All the wishes for your better tomorrows to come!

(Though this wish for the three among you all, it applies to every person who has been healing and who needs to keep healing)

Me My Guru – on fate, destiny and karma

 

Contd....

Me My Guru – on fate, destiny and karma

“Without questioning further he packed his meagre belongings and left towards his home.” – Most important quality that works wonders in protecting any one is “faith and respect” for the one who has your good in his heart. (here it being a Guru). Trust and that will protect you.

Protection can’t be demanded.

It is not an entitlement.

It is not your right (Reiki quota right).

But have trust (in real) and that is enough to protect you from any calamity.

“Just a thought of being with his Guru soon sent shivers of happiness in his body. His body felt light. He was light on his feet too as he made in return journey.” – Coming to class, doing Reiki and being in sadhan when related this way then the story and the outcome is beyond anyone’s measure.

When we relate with anyone in our life this way, then no job seems boring, repetitive or heavy. Because love is missing in our relationships, we consider any “doing” as work and feel the pressure instead of pleasure in doing it for the other – be it parent, child, sibling or job.

Sit with this thought.

Know where the problem is.

Address it.

Overcome it.

Then life and duties that come with it will feel sooooo good!

“Today we received a lot!

And yet, we found ourselves empty!” – This is the story of our life. We have everything and bountiful. YET, yet we found ourselves EMPTY. And so, we ran hither thither in search of that MISSING joy. We are searching in the wrong place. Hence, our search proves futile.

Know where to search, what to search and seek your right to your Kingdom!
