Simple Exercise For Experiencing Inner Peace And Compassion (Kindness)
Sit comfortably and relax. Now focus your attention on your breathing… let it find
its own calm rhythm… gently breathe in peacefulness and breathe out any negative
feelings.
Allow your mind to slow down… do not judge your thoughts as good or bad, accept
them and let them go.
Now focus on your inner peace…that place that is deep within yourself… that is peaceful…
where your inner compassion (kindness) and forgiveness lies… here you are patient,
tolerant, generous, understanding… all these qualities are here which make up your
inner compassion. Experience the feeling of compassion… and see it focused as a
point… a point of light…situated at the center of your forehead.
Now raise your awareness beyond yourself… to a place of unlimited peace… see it
first as a small point of light. As you move towards it, it becomes brighter… it
is like an ocean of peace… a space of calm, of love, of compassion… you feel connected
to that ocean of deep peace and love… it surrounds you like a shawl, it fills you
up, absorbing every part of you with a comfortable warmth.
Rest in that feeling of being loved… it is like energy… a vibration… a light filling
you… until you overflow…
Now, slowly you move away from the ocean – as a point of light. You still have the
memory of being loved… and can reconnect at any time you want.
Gradually become aware of your body.

Message for the day 17-06-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
Faith enables the creation of elevated fortune.
Projection: Usually there is a tendency to leave things to destiny. When
something goes wrong, we blame fate for it. Then we feel the situation to be totally
out of our control, which prevents us from taking responsibility for our own life.
And we will not be able to work in any way for bringing about a change and improving
the situation.
Solution: Instead of blaming fate for whatever is happening, we need to take
up responsibility for creating our own fortune for the future. When we have faith
in ourselves, we will take up responsibility for our own life. We will, then, be
able to work at making our each thought beneficial, contributing to our success,
making a better future for ourselves.
