Practical Ways of Changing Old Habits or Beliefs (Part 5)
Exercises of Silence
Exercises of silence help you concentrate your mind and intellect, and go within
yourself to recover the positive and eternal energies. With the appropriate concentration
of the mind and intellect towards your constructive inner forces of peace, love
and happiness, you can strengthen yourself. Being strong means staying positive
when faced with negative situations, peaceful when everything around you is chaotic:
in other words, not being influenced negatively but influencing the situation with
your positivity. When you stay calm in your inner power of peace, you can transmit
this to others and help them to calm themselves. When you begin exercises of silence,
concentrate primarily on peace. This is the basis of the practice, as when there
is inner balance and harmony it is easier to build over these the other values love,
happiness, truth and sincerity. The experience of deep peace calms you, clarifies
you and fills you with energy to think and act positively and achieve your purpose
that you have set for yourself.

Message for the day 30-12-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
The more we experience peace within the more there will be positivity in our life.
Expression: We usually try to change ourselves and our negativities by working
on each of them separately. We might be able to overcome them also but being connected
to the other weaknesses we find that they reemerge again. Then we find that the
negativity remains in our life influencing all our thoughts, words and actions.
Experience: We first need to make a promise to ourselves to maintain our
own inner positivity. Once we do that we also need to make an attempt to practice
relaxing our mind and remaining calm before we do any important thing. When we practice
in this way we will be able to keep our mind calm and this calmness will bring contentment
through which there will be positivity in all we do.
