JUDAISM,CHRISTIANITY, HINDUISM, ISLAM, BUDDHISM - ARE WE REALLY SO DIFFERENT??

Your work is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.- Judaism, Psalm 119.105

 

Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."- Christianity, John 8.12

 

Him the sun does not illumine, nor the moon, nor the stars, nor the lightning -- nor, verily fires kindled upon the earth. He is the one light that gives light to all. He shines; everything shines. - Hinduism, Katha Upanishad 5.13

 

God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. - Islam, Koran 24.35

 

It is wonderful, Lord! It is wonderful, Lord! It is as if, Lord, one might set upright that which had been upturned, or might reveal what was hidden, or might point out the path to one who had gone astray, or might bring an oil lamp into the darkness so that those with eyes might see material shapes.- Buddhism, Udana 49

DON'T BEAR A GRUDGE

Be aware if you are holding a grudge,

the grudge is holding you!

INNER PEACE

There’s always something to be upset about.

Inner peace is a choice.

Rick Warren

Chase your dreams with love and enthusiasm

Keep alive the hope in your dreams. 

Hope provides the strength against giving up. 

Believe in yourself. Self belief enables you to persevere. Never quit. 

Allow no one to control your happiness. Take responsibility for your reactions. 

Success is not what you have, but how you feel. 

Your feelings are your wealth. 

When things seem bad, focus on the incredible beauty around you. 

All obstacles have their season and time of

passing. 

Ask and you will receive. 

Reach out. No one is an island. 

Accept love that is offered. Love is our deepest wellspring of joy. 

Chase your dreams with love and enthusiasm and allow life to meet you halfway. 

Learn from mistakes and remember your dreams. 

Only do that which increases your self-respect. 

Self-respect allows you to feel good about life. Remember to laugh and cry. Both give balance and fullness to life.

THE RICHNESS OF LOVE

If you have people in your life to love, you are rich.
Take time for what matters most.

Joel Osteen

SOLAR ECLIPSE / NEW MOON

Today is a solar eclipse, and depending on where you live on the planet, today or tomorrow is also new moon!

It's an ideal time for manifesting!

NB: A solar eclipse can bring up old energies and patterns, wounds and shadow aspects for healing. Be kind and compassionate with yourself and allow yourself to feel and release anything that may have surfaced in recent days as part of this enlightening and transformational process.  

Now is a great time to meditate and work on "Chakra Balancing" and "Auric Healing" to clear, align and optimize your energy and integrate more love and light.

It is a favourable time for seeding and affirming both new and existing dreams. To open brighter visions and inspirations, to hold positive intentions and to write down and visualise your goals. 

Try to spend some time in meditation today to focus on and visualize your dreams.

You could also write down a list of goals and 'new moon wishes' for the month and year ahead.

The sun is the heart of our solar system and when we have an eclipse the sun can aid us in shifting energy that is heavy and un-serving. We can raise ourselves to higher levels of consciousness. It heightens our awareness and brings things to light - allowing us to move forward to brighter times. 

  

Great things can be initiated at eclipses and new moons, so the combination of both is ideal for birthing dreams and re-affirming existing ones, manifesting your heart's desires, and raising your energy to a new level (showing a new YOU).

Be more mindful of your thoughts, feelings and words you use as, at this time, manifestation is heightened.

Get yourself into an optimum state and manifest the bright beautiful dreams your heart desires.

How good can life get?

 Just dare to imagine! 

SHOW KINDNESS

Never underestimate the power of your words and deeds.

With a few kind words,

you can change a person’s life.

Joyce Meyer

THINK FOR YOURSELF

Listen to your heart, learn to think for yourself, don’t let other people do it for you!

MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES

When the choice is to be right or to be kind,

always make the choice that brings peace.

– Dr. Wayne Dyer 

ARE YOU AT PEACE WITH YOURSELF?

“Those who are at war with others

are not at peace with themselves.”

– William Hazlitt

False belief behind psychological suffering

 In the end, all forms of psychological suffering can be traced back to a basic single source: the false belief that our unwanted conditions, whatever they may be, are greater than our capacity to change our relationship to them.

MEDITATION

MEDITATION IS THE TONGUE OF THE SOUL AND THE LANGUAGE OF OUR SPIRIT

Meditation - making the most of it

• The first piece of advice I have to give is to make sure you find a quiet, secluded place to create an environment for success. 
• Make sure you are comfortable. A good idea is to sit in a chair which needs to be the right height. Sitting @ the front of the chair will put your hips slightly higher than your knees. Your feet should be firmly on the floor. However, if you prefer to lie down, sit crossed legged, that's okay too - just be comfortable.
• Decide on a time which suits your daily routine. If necessary set yourself a reminder on your phone or other device. I always enjoy my  meditation either first thing in the morning or last thing at night. However, the most important thing is that it is a time that suits YOU.
• Another good idea is to keep notes.  This is a useful tool which will allow you to look back and see the positive shifts you have experienced, remind you of the work you have already done and  substantiate your daily practice.

Above all - enjoy it. You'll find out for yourself how invaluable it is.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - MIRACLES

GET OUTSIDE EVERY DAY. MIRACLES ARE WAITING EVERYWHERE.

BE KIND TO "YOU!"

Do something that nourishes your spirit. What simple thing makes you feel happy? Reading a book? Listening to music? Making yourself a favorite cup of tea? Maybe visiting a favorite place, sitting in a favorite chair or special spot in nature?
Make nurturing yourself a daily priority.

THE EYE OF MY HEART SEES EVERYTHING - Black Elk

I am blind and do not see the things of this world; 

but when the light comes from above, it enlightens 

my heart and I can see, for the Eye of my heart sees 

everything.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - PEACE

THE TREE OF SILENCE BEARS THE FRUIT OF PEACE

LIVING IN THE MOMENT - NOTICING YOUR BREATH

Throughout our day we can get ourselves into a negative cycle of destructive self talk. "I should have done this"... "Maybe if I hadn't done that"... "I'm so stressed, how am I going to handle this"... "I can't cope".... "I'm useless"... 

The following exercise can be done pretty much anywhere anytime. It will bring calm and peace even if you are feeling over stressed. Its easy and quick to do. 

Choose a relaxing position either sitting in a chair or lying down.  Just start to notice your breath. Don't be tempted to alter your breathing, or take a deep breath. You don't need to actually 'do' anything – all you are doing is taking notice of the way you are already breathing.

Perhaps you can feel the air as it passes through your nostrils and enters your nose. Pay attention to the air entering and filling your lungs. You can observe how your stomach rises automatically. Then feel the air being released from your lungs and passing out through your nose. 

It is quite common for people to feel irritated for the first  couple of minutes, but ignore it and just continue to observe your breath. No problem.

Different thoughts will enter your head but each time they do, leave them and return your attention to your breathing.

Just keep noticing your breath.

Continue for about 5 mins - it's as easy as that.

All you are doing is being aware of the moment - right here, right now.

 Keep bringing yourself back to this moment.

Do this throughout the day, whenever you have the time. 

It is great  for dispelling negative thought patterns and will bring a feeling of peace and harmony. 

BE HAPPY x
