Discovering Natural Virtues / Qualities
Meditation enables us to achieve self-awareness and self-realization (a true sense of who we really are), and discover our basic qualities or specialties, which lay hidden within each of us.
1. Use a flower as a basis for meditation. You should be completely focused on the flower, and no other thoughts should enter your mind.
3. How might the qualities of the flower reflect aspects of your self?
4. Now consider each different characteristic you have given the flower. Think about each of it in terms of how it might correspond to your personality.
5. If the flower has any negative aspects (is one of the petals drying out?), what might this be telling you about yourself? Concentrate on repairing the negative, making your self-image wholly positive.
6. Connect with the flower in this way, until you feel that the beauties you see are a direct reflection of your virtues.
In the above exercise, the form of the flower's many petals may be seen to correspond to your qualities; the fragrance may correspond to the quality of your thoughts; and the colour may refer to some of your positive moods or emotions (green for your love of the world, red for calm assertion (positive aggression), blue for sympathy). What you see, in the moment of meditation, is what you are.

Determination makes you sit up straight and love everything, because it's all part of moving forward. Day and night you have the feeling that you only have to seek and can touch the hard core of wisdom that rests inside each moment. You can focus on that, let the toughness be in seeking that and then action is automatically as it should be.

Thought for Today
To be free from worry means to have the power to change negative into positive.
The ones who are free from worry change that which is bad into something good, because the state of mind is calm. The one with a calm state of mind is able to think creatively and see very clearly even beyond the situation. So there is the ability to transform the seemingly negative situation into something very positive. So there is clear decision-making and quick action. There is also no time wasted. When we are free from worry, we constantly remain satisfied for having seen the positive and finding the solutions immediately instead of looking at the problem and worrying over it. This internal silence gives the feeling of power, which naturally enables transformation in a second and only the goodness is absorbed.

Bringing newness in dealing with life's situations brings happiness.
When there is the desire to find new ways of responding to life's challenges, unhappiness ends which in turn helps to fulfill one's highest potential. All it needs is the determination to adopt a fresh awareness. Thus burdensome thoughts that drain out positive energy are set aside. The quality of life itself becomes better. We experience a lot of happiness when there is newness brought in responding to situations. The potential and the energy of the mind is channelised in a positive way so there is an experience of fulfillment and satisfaction. The mind is not caught up with negative or waste but is busy trying for the best solutions in all situations.

Visualization (cont.)
To find such a symbol for yourself, which represents your principles and aims, practice the following visualization:
Experience yourself as a soul, a sparkling point of light concentrated in the centre of your forehead…
Visualize this peaceful point radiating rays of tranquility, peace and light…
In this stage of soul consciousness, project on the screen of your mind images of your life in the future...
Picture yourself fulfilling your life's aims and objectives...
You are surrounded by people involved in that...
See yourself being challenged now… the biggest challenge ever…
coming in front of you… the challenge you have always been defeated by before...
Observe yourself becoming fully victorious...
See and feel yourself acting very decisively (positively) with no hesitation and according to your principles...
Feel those principles rise powerfully to your heart and to your forehead...
In this situation, how do you see and hear your interactions with others…?
What thoughts and feelings are being experienced and exchanged…?
What words are you using…?
What is the expression on your face…?
What is the outcome (result)…?
Now create a symbol representing the above scene...
Focus on it until it becomes clear in your mind...
Stay there... your aim is to stay with this picture as long as you are able... hold on to it.
Now bring your attention back to the present moment and surroundings.
You could create such a symbol for yourself depending on your role in day-to-day life e.g. for a businessman, this symbol could be a flock (group) of white eagles, where the eagle symbolizes the principles (values) of fearlessness and independence. The colour white represents the change of objective from hunter to protector. That the eagle is flying in a flock symbolizes the principle of 'interdependence' (eagles don't normally fly in flocks)...retaining your individuality but working together with others.

Visualization
The practice of visualization in Rajyoga meditation enables us to define our principles and aims and objectives into a single meaningful ‘symbol’ that we can flash into our mind often throughout the day, which helps us in remaining relaxed and focused amidst situations and scenes in which we tend to lose our peace. Imagine you are about to go into a meeting with your organization head in which you know you are going to be subjected to emotional pressure to do something you may not want to do. Before entering the room, stop for a moment and flash up on the screen of your mind the image of your 'symbol'. This will immediately make you recall what is important to you. Even though you may be faced with facts and logical arguments, if you keep focused on this ‘symbol’ you will remain relaxed and stable.
Tomorrow we shall explain a simple meditation commentary to find a symbol for yourself, which represents your principles and aims.

The one who has the courage to face is the one who can bring about a change.
Expression:
When there is a challenge which brings out a negative response, there is an immediate desire to move away from the situation so that the negativity finishes. But the real challenge is not the situation itself, but the expression of a weakness within. The one who has the courage to face this weakness and work on it is able to bring about a change accordingly.
Experience :
When I am able to face the challenge of working on my own weaknesses, instead of moving away from the situation I am able to experience progress at every step. Then there will be no feeling of helplessness but I will be able to have full control on the situation. So there is the ability to learn from each situation and move forward constantly.

To end waste means to be free from defeat.
The one with faith in the intellect always remains at a distance from waste, whether it is waste thoughts, waste words or waste actions. To move away from waste means to be victorious. The one who is free from waste is busy with the positive and useful. Such a person is constantly searching for solutions and trying to make the best out of the situation. It is because of waste that we sometimes experience defeat and sometimes victory. If we are able to finish waste, we are able to finish defeat. Because whatever the situation may be, however challenging it may be, if we are able to finish waste we are able to recognise the benefit that is merged within it and so are able to experience being constantly victorious.

Anger Management And Prevention
Step One – Never struggle with your anger. Don't fight it, or resist it, in any way. That only either strengthens it, or suppresses it until it emerges another day. So face it and accept its presence.
Step Two – As soon as possible, simply observe it. In the act of observation all emotion must die. Why? Because you are standing back from it within your consciousness in order to observe it. And as you stand back within your consciousness you are withdrawing (removing) your life giving energy from it.
Step Three – Through the practice of meditation, return to your centre, that means the centre of your consciousness, the centre of your self. At the centre you will find inner peace, and that peace is your power. At the centre of yourself you will find your love, and that love, when you give it to yourself and others, is the healing balm of forgiveness. Kindly note that the two reflections given below are connected with each other. Please put them one after the other, in the right order
while archiving them.

Self Empowerment
To fill your self with a quality or power, which you feel you do not have or one, which is lacking inside you, try the following exercise. Suppose you feel that you lack contentment (satisfaction). To increase this quality inside you, sit comfortably in a pleasant room with your eyes open.
Withdraw (remove) energy mentally from everything around you – turn your attention inward. You might think of how a tortoise withdraws into its shell to detach itself from the outside world, but carrying the experience of the world with it inside its shelter.
Create a point of consciousness. Focus on the centre of your forehead. Think of this point as a bright star, a sparkling jewel, a flame or a being of light. This will radiate positive energy, making you feel good about yourself.
Affirm (strengthen) this positive energy through positive thoughts and images about yourself such as ”I am a contented soul, I shower everyone whom I meet with the quality of contentment”, “I am a jewel of contentment”, or “I am the child of the Supreme Soul, the Ocean of Contentment”.
Focus your energy on contentment, and let this become the object of your meditation. As you focus, you will give contentment life, turning a thought into a feeling.
Experience this feeling by giving your conscious attention to it.
During the entire day, you could visualize yourself performing each action in the canopy (shelter) of the Ocean of Contentment. Now perform this exercise for different virtues like cheerfulness, courage, humility (egolessness), tolerance, forgiveness, determination, etc. especially for the ones you think are lacking inside you. For the qualities already existing inside you, you could use this exercise to strengthen those features of your personality and bring them more into your actions and interactions.

The method to bring about a permanent change is to bring about newness in thinking.

When I train my mind to think creatively I'm able to keep my mind busy. In this way I'm able to free it from thinking negative and waste. Also I find myself enjoying every scene that comes in front of me and I also find myself constantly progressing.

Silence is a discipline, not of doing, but of being; a time when we quietly attune ourselves to an inner strength to experience trust and self worth. It is from this base of inner strength that our actions evolve.

STANDING WATCH:
We have one Angel standing watch above us as we sleep...
Another gathers up the hopes and dreams we wish to keep
One Angel is the tiny voice that whispers in our ears...
With words of love and comfort to conquer grief and fears
We have so many Angels with one friendship keeper too...
Another just to help us mend the thoughtless things we do
We have a Guardian of Love who protects our Destiny...
And helps us with our soul mate with whom we are meant to be
We have a host of Angels that keep us company...
In order that we may become the best that we can be.

The one who is patient experiences constant success.
Projection:
I always expect things to happen fast. Even with a little effort on my part I expect high results. Because of my impatience I just can't wait, I jump to conclusions and react without understanding the problem. Thus I find it difficult to experience success in whatever I do.
Solution:
I need to understand that the fruit of the seeds I sow will come at their own time. This gives me the patience to wait without expecting results too fast. Also patience allows me to be calm even in the most negative situations. Thus I will be able to experience success whatever the immediate result of my actions might be.

To live in the present is to be free from the influence of the past.
Expression:
Many times the past keeps coming back again and again in the mind, influencing the present too. The present is lost in thinking about the past. So there can be nothing done to enjoy the present. All words and actions then are totally coloured by the past. Instead the one who is able to free himself from the influence of the past is able to move positively towards the future.
Experience:
To be free from the influence of the past it is important to have a powerful consciousness of the present. To be able to be free from the influence of the past is to forget the past. Because there is the understanding that it is gone. Also there is no worry about the future. When I am able to learn to live in the present I am able to discover how full it is of peaceful moments.

The one who is responsible is the one who is always light.
To be responsible means to do everything with the best of one's ability. It comes with the recognition and the understanding of the importance of the task. No action is wasted, but everything meaningfully connects to the fulfillment of the task. So there are not even ordinary actions, but only those that are meaningful. When we take up every task that we need to do with full responsibility, we are able to give our best. Then we will be able to be light having done our task well and in time. There is never the pressure of work, but there is plenty of time for the self and for others. We also find our inner resources being used to the fullest extent.

To bring in light is to finish darkness.

When I am able to see the positivity even in both positive situations and negative situations, I am able to influence others with my positivity. Others' negativity will not influence me in a negative way, but I will be able to remain powerful in all situations. I will experience inner growth constantly.

When there is recognition that each human being is unique with his own unique set of capabilities, there is the ability to respect him for what he is.

We all have a third eye. Two physical eyes to look at the world around us and one eye for looking in. Why would we want to look 'in' when everything is happening 'out there'?

True change brings benefit to all.
Expression:
When there is someone who is behaving in a way that is not right, the usual reaction is to have negative feelings for that person. All words and actions based on this negative attitude will naturally create negativity. Instead it is good to see what could be done to benefit the other person. Raising complaints only takes away inner peace.
Experience:
When I bring about a change that benefits even the person who is making the mistake, I am able to remain in peace with all types of people. I am not worried about why a person is behaving in a particular way, but I am able to see what is to be done in order to remove that particular negativity. The hatred is not for the person but for the negativity itself.

The one who is powerful shows the practical proof of success instead of just talking about it.
Projection
It is usually very easy for us to talk about how to do things best, it is as much easy to tell others and give directions. But the one who is powerful is not just satisfied with mere words or proving to others about his success. He is more concerned more about being successful.
Solution:
We need to check if we are applying in our life what we are talking about. We need to see to it that whatever we speak about, we must put into practice. Only then will we find improvement and progress in our life. Then there will be no more the need to talk about our success but our life will reveal how successful we are. We will then be an inspiration to many.

To become worthy of blessings means to make success easy.
Projection
Thinking of benefit for the self increases to such an extent that it sometimes takes on the form of selfishness. When we are selfish we stop thinking about others or the effect that our action is going to have on them. Then we are not able to move forward with lightness because the good wishes and blessings of others are not with us.
Solution
In each and every action of ours we need to first check if it is going to be beneficial for us as well as for others. As much as there is benefit for others too in the task that we are doing, that much the good wishes of others will be there for the task. With these good wishes we will be able to move forward much faster and achieving success will be easy.

The one with true mercy fills hope even in the ones who are hopeless.

When we see someone who is in need or who is totally negative, a case that is totally hopeless, there are a lot of feelings aroused within us. What we feel is pity or hatred, which are only negative feelings. Such negative thoughts don't help in anyway and the people remains as they are, unable to take any benefit from us.
Solution:
Instead of having pity or hatred we need to develop true mercy for others. To have mercy means to have good wishes with love - combined with hope for them. It is our hope that enables them to develop faith in themselves too. This is the method to bring progress even in the most hopeless case.

To sow the seeds of pure feelings constantly is to experience positive fruit.
When one's feelings are constantly positive and pure, there is no expectation of the fruit to emerge immediately. Even if others are not able to respond to the positivity or if situations are not according to my expectations, there is still the feeling of giving. So there is this positivity expressed through the vibrations spread around and in every word and action. The more we are able to have pure feelings for those around us, the more is the positivity that emerges from within. Because of having discovered the positivity within, we are able to give unconditionally. So we experience the immediate fruit of what we have given and also accumulate for the future, and continue to enjoy multifold fruit of what we give.

Pure feelings reach out and bring benefit to others.
Projection:
When there is someone who is being negative, we tend to think or speak about the negativity we perceive at that time. To think about negativity is to imbibe a little of that negativity within our mind. Then our mind is no more pure and so whatever thoughts we have for that person don't have any positive influence and there is no benefit for them.
Solution:
If we see someone using some weakness, we need to pay special attention not to think or speak about it. Instead we need to concentrate on some speciality of the other person. This gives them the encouragement to use it. The more we see negative, the more negative they will be with us and the more we see positive the more positive they'll be with us.

Being enlightened means being self aware. Awareness of yourself means you don't miss anything inside. You are aware of things like the quality of your thoughts and feelings, of how you sometimes give your power to others, and how your self-esteem occasionally fluctuates. You don't miss anything because you know that knowing yourself is vital to being comfortable with yourself. Are you comfortable with yourself? No! Then be with your self, talk to your self, listen to your self today. Take a few moments out and have a meeting with yourself. Put yourself in your diary. Put your self at the top of your to list. And write next to it, 'being with myself'. Miss nothing in your self. -relax7.com

When there is the ability to listen there is the ability to understand others and what they are saying. So the one who listens is able to learn from every situation and each and every person whom he comes across. So what he does and what he speaks is much more effective.
Experience:
When I understand that I am a student for my entire life, I am able to be open to learning. So I am able to listen whole-heartedly. Then, instead of only putting across what I have to say, I am able to pay attention to what others are saying too. I am thus able to enrich myself with new treasures constantly.

Thought for Today
To be a giver means to give according to need.
The one who is a giver would be sensitive to the needs of others and will be able to give what the other person needs at the right time, instead of giving what he wants to give. Also such a person is able to give without expecting anything in return. When there is even a little thought to share with others whatever we have, we would naturally be able to perceive our own inner treasures and experience being full. Sharing with others, whatever we can, enables us to get their good wishes also. We thus find ourselves experiencing the richness of life.

Our words are effective only when we combine them with pure thoughts and inspirational actions.
Projection:
As soon as we find someone's mistake it is natural for us to give correction through our words. We tend to explain to others using a lot of words. Yet we find that inspite of saying the right thing we are not being listened to and our words are just wasted away. We don't understand at such times where the problem lies.
Solution:
To enable our corrections to others to be effective, we have to combine our thoughts, words and actions. There need to be good wishes in our thoughts which also brings sweetness in our words. We also need to take care that we are putting into action all that we are talking. When we do this we will find that our words are really effective.

Thought for Today
Where there is contentment, problems finish.
Contentment enables one to have a positive outlook towards life. So the one who is content always works towards solutions, as he is never disturbed with situations, but is always relaxed. This automatically brings the ability to contribute to others and give them the support to bring progress within them. Such a person works for his own self- progress too. When we are content with everything that is happening, we are able to be light in all situations. So even in the biggest difficulty, we are never caught up with the problem, but are always thinking of the solution. Our mind is busy with finding the solution, so internally we remain unaffected with the problem.

Where there is faith, there is greatness.
Expression:
To have faith means to recognize the positivity in the self, in others and in situations. It also means a deep connection with God. The one who has faith is able to bring out the greatness in everything and everyone. So such a person reveals his greatness wherever he is.
Experience:
When I have unbroken faith, I have the understanding that everything that happens is for some good cause. So, I am satisfied with everything that happens in my life. So I am creative in my responses to the environment, which in turn, makes me truly great.

"Help Yourself"
Unfortunately these two words tend to describe the generally selfish and materialistic culture in which most of us live. They result not in self-help but in dependency. Our education and our role models do not encourage us to help ourselves to grow, change and expand our capacities as human beings. Real self-help means recognising that no one else is responsible for our thoughts and feelings, and that we are only ever victims because we choose to be. Our destiny is always and only in our own hands - despite all apparent evidence which may indicate otherwise. Learning to help ourselves is also a prerequisite to extending a hand of assistance to others. We all need a leg up from time to time, but once there, we are always on our own. -relax7.com

Message for the day 01.01.2010
Determination enables us to overcome our weaknesses.
Projection:
When we recognize any weakness of ours, we want to make effort to remove it. But usually we work on it for a few days with great attention. After some time, we find ourselves losing interest and the weakness gets stronger taking hold of us once again. We find ourselves exactly where we had started having no further enthusiasm to work on ourselves.
Solution:
In order to overcome any weakness of ours, we need to have a strong aim in our mind to remove it. With this comes the determination to work on it without losing hope. Even if we find ourselves becoming slack, we need to remind ourselves that we don't want that particular weakness in our life. Then we will be able to work at
removing the weakness fully.
