5 Qualities of Thoughts: Necessary:Waste:Negative:Positive:Soul-conscious











5 Qualities of Thoughts: Necessary:Waste:Negative:Positive:Soul-conscious 


The art of relaxation does not lie in any physical exercises or postures but in the posture of our minds. Essentially there are five qualities of thoughts, which we can create:
Necessary thoughts, such as, "I must not forget to go to the market today", or "I have to collect the children from school at 4 pm."
Waste thoughts, which include thinking too much about the past, worrying about things that might not happen (future), and thoughts about others that spill out as gossip.
Negative thoughts, which include feelings of anger, fear, ego, greed, doubt, sadness, regret and unease. Negative thoughts make us lazy and drain our energy.
Positive thoughts, which are affirmative and focused, carrying only the best intentions for ourselves and for others.
Soul-conscious thoughts arise from the truth of who and what we are, and require the effort of remembering and gently reminding ourselves that we are eternal souls and our real nature is peaceful and loving.

Anger: A Stupid Habit : How to Drop Anger Habit

Hello Reader, I was just thinking about the Anger and how anger harm us and there are lots of things which comes in my mind. I am sharing those with you guys.

Let  look over these facts

1 80% of the world's Problems in human relationship occurred due to anger.

2 15 minutes anger takes away 9hour of Physical and Mental energy i.e. 1minuts anger takes away 36 minutes of our creative energy.

3 When scientist study the most relevant emotion 72hours before the heart attack, they found that it is ANGER.

I found the following causes for Anger

1 Harassment (Physical or Mental)
2 Hunger
3 Injustice
4 When the things are not according to our planning/ thinking

Why these cause occurred to us 

Every events has been planned by God. Bhagwat Geeta explains the "Theory of KARMA" according to that whatever we do we got the results accordingly, the difference is that we think only for the years we know, never bothered about the life before our birth.  Let me ask you a question: Have many people you know who have lots of problems the day one when they taken birth (Blind by birth etc.etc) Why? this is all because of the Old Birth Karma and theory of Karma is Universal.

e.g.
If a Insect think that think that the whole universe ends up with him (Insects have  maximum life of 2 days), Insect don't know what he don't know

Whatever is happening is happening for good and whatever will happen will happen for good. The change is law of Universe. So the events which causes you

Remedy when anger comes


1 The best remedy is to quip quite, I know this is not possible.
2  Count down 10 to 1 may be 20 to 1
3 Try to focus on the solution not on the problem (Think logically)

What Controls the movement of Body?

What Controls the movement of Body?

When we make the distinction (difference) between mind and matter, body and soul, human and being, we are making a distinction between two kinds of energy – physical (matter) and non-physical (spirit). Our bodies are made of the five elements of matter, which combine to make our physical forms, which are visible. Our minds are non-physical energy, which produces invisible thoughts, feelings and attitudes. To understand this more clearly, consider the case of electricity: you know it exists because you can see the result in the form of an electric light, but you cannot see the actual electricity. In the same way the mind cannot be seen but the energy, which comes through it, controls the movement of the body

The Virtue Of Love: Why Don’t you Understand The Virtue Of Love

The Virtue Of Love: Why Don’t you Understand The Virtue Of Love

Love is normally associated with the heart. But what is the heart? You are your heart. Human consciousness is the heart. You have two hearts – the physical heart and the spiritual heart. Your physical heart is not a source of love, it is simply a very powerful pump. Your spiritual heart is a source of love and you are it. Why? Because you are spirit or soul. This is important because it reminds you that you are love and you are a source of love. In fact, you don't need love because you already have it! However, you don't feel it. You normally believe that love and happiness are physical sensations. This teaching is dangerous because it makes you reverse the flow of the energy of your own heart from giving and radiating to wanting and taking. That's why attachment happens and our life becomes rather dry of real love. This false belief, that love comes from outside, eventually makes us turn our own life into one which is filled with sounds of 'give me, give me, give me'! It's no wonder love is a rare experience because the moment our aim is to take we change the energy of our heart into fear. The fear that we won't get, the fear that if we do get it won't be up to expectation and the fear that when we do get we might lose what we got! And we haven't even got it yet! If only someone had told us that fear is the opposite of love.

Giving Up Revenge: Why Don't you Giving Up Revenge

Giving Up Revenge: Why Don't you Giving Up Revenge

When we feel hurt by another person we feel the desire to take revenge. Even though we know it will not bring about a solution to the situation, or heal the relationship, we still want, and feel justified in wanting, and taking, revenge. The illusion behind the desire to hurt another with our anger is that they were the ones who hurt us. No they didn't. No one hurts us but we use others to hurt ourselves. When we blame others we conveniently avoid taking responsibility for our feelings and actions. So there is no need for anger.

Question: When was the last time you thought someone had hurt you?

Reflection: How did you see the other person, how did you interpret their actions (i.e. what did you do with them in your mind that caused you anger)?

Action: Imagine the situation happened again – how would you see the situation (interpret their actions) differently, so that you do not create anger in response?
