Meditation For Personality Transformation (cont.)
Decide on a habit that you want to change e.g. impatience. We will focus this meditation
on changing impatience. You can apply it to other habits also:
I relax and prepare to look inwards…
I am aware of the unwanted habit of becoming impatient...
As I sit in meditation, I relax my body.
I become the observer of my own thoughts and feelings...
Realizing my true identity as soul – a subtle point of light situated at the center
of my forehead, just above my eyebrows, I remember my real nature is one of calmness,
peace and power...
I focus on the power of peace, inviting it in and welcoming it into my thoughts
and feelings from deep within.... enjoying the calm contentment which it brings...
On the screen of my mind, I begin to visualize patience...
I see myself in a situation where I normally become impatient…
I now see myself as being completely full with the virtue of patience...
I shape my feelings around the idea and image of patience.... unhurried and relaxed...
calm and watchful...
If necessary, I can wait... forever.... with patience
I am free of the desire for certain outcomes...
I see how I respond with patience...
I see the effect of my patience in others within the situation...
I now know how I will speak with patience, walk with patience and act patiently
in the real life situations...
I maintain this peace, which generates serenity and patience in me…

Message for the day 08-01-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
When we are in the elevated company of the One God, no bad company will influence
us.
Expression: Sometimes when we are working for our self- development we sometimes
wish for support or understanding from others which we don't always get. We actually
look for a role model, whom we could follow or who could be an inspiration for us.
When we don't find anyone like that we tend to get disheartened and continue to
justify ourselves for not bringing any change in ourselves.
Experience: The solution lies in becoming a role model and a source of support
for others instead of expecting others to do so. For this we need to pay extra attention
to the kind of company we keep. Under all circumstances, if we keep God as our companion
we will not be influenced by any other company, however strong they might be. We
will then be able to bring about change in ourselves.
