Principles for the Body To Make Early Morning Meditation Successful
• Rest well each night. Avoid going off to sleep later than 10 p.m. especially when
there is no time for an afternoon rest.
• Make sure the evening meal is taken early or only have a light meal before bed,
and a heavy breakfast. Light eating with plenty of fresh fruits and salads makes
the mind light.
• If I am very, very tired at night, it is better to do some light housework until
the stage of tiredness passes, rather than surrendering to sleep at this moment.
If I go to bed with a heavy head I rise with a heavy head.
• Do not talk unnecessarily before going to sleep.
• Be warm, yet avoid over-heated rooms.

Message for the day 04-07-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
To say yes is to have regard for all.
Projection: When someone expects us to do something that we don't like our
usual reaction is to say no and give reasons why we don't want to do it or why we
don't agree with what the other person is saying. But it usually happens that once
we say no, the other person is no longer able to listen to what we have to say.
Solution: Instead of saying 'no', we need to practice saying 'yes'. To say
yes means to try to understand what the other person is saying. Only after that
can we put forth our argument. And then the other person will also give regard to
our opinion. This practice will enable us to get good wishes from others and increase
our chance for success.
