Self Transformation (Change) (Part 1)
We nourish the soul by going into the depths of silence and learning to love and
appreciate the self. Giving time to do this will bring about a change in how we
go about doing things, and this will start to show itself in improved relationships
and in quality of life. By adopting a systematic and practical approach, we can
assist the changes we wish to bring about in our life, otherwise old patterns of
behaviour and the influences of the world will weaken our determination and efforts,
like the sea tide washing away a sandcastle.
Here are some practical reminders and steps we can take to grow spiritually and
bring out transformation (change) in ourselves:
Create a space for silence
Creating a space for inner silence is important and we can also create a corner
area or a room used only for this purpose. In that place there is the opportunity,
for instance, each morning to prepare for the coming day and, in the evening, to
unburden the mind of any wasteful thoughts and feelings that have accumulated during
the day.

Message for the day 23-02-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
To remain focused is to fill speciality into everything we do.
Projection: Sometimes while moving along, we find ourselves becoming unenthusiastic
and slack. Everything seems so ordinary and we don't seem to understand how to make
each day special for us. We try in little ways to do something different and temporarily
find relief.
Solution: The solution lies instead in changing our consciousness. We first
have to make sure that we will never forget our aim in whatever we are doing. Then,
no act of ours will be ordinary or waste, as we continue to check if everything
that we do is according to our aim or not.
