The Positive Energy Of Blessings (Part 6)

Service In Thoughts, Words and Actions
Service, which means to serve others, is our nature. When we hear or read about people who are in pain and suffering across the world, we help them physically and financially. But we can help only some people and at some time. Our help cannot reach all the people every time. There are different types of service –

(1) Service through actions - Contributing our time, skills and talents for the benefit of others or financial contributions is service in action.
(2) Service through words - Sharing spiritual wisdom, knowledge or experiences and advice is serving through words.
(3) Service through thoughts - When praying or meditating, consciously radiating vibrations of peace, love and happiness to people and to the world is serving through thoughts. Just by living peace, love and happiness, our vibrations are radiating into the world every moment, even when we are asleep. This service can be done always and can reach out to everyone.

To send pure vibrations or blessings we could set aside a few minutes every morning or do it any time during the day - even while cooking, driving or walking. We can first choose the person and purpose for sending our blessings. It could be for a family member who is in pain, for a neighbour, for a stranger about whom we heard or saw, for a city or for an entire country which is going through a crisis or for the world. There is no limit on the number of people we can bless and heal; that is the power we have. We can send blessings either individually or in groups. We can do it as a family, children can do it during their school prayers, or groups of friends or colleagues. Collective vibrations raise the power and results are faster.

To have a big heart means never to be disheartened.

Expression:To have a big heart means to have good wishes constantly for others and to enable others to move forward through this. Even if someone with negative characteristics comes in front, there are no feelings of negativity as there is the power to accept and recognise their specialities.

Experience: I am able to be beyond confusion and doubt when I have a big heart. I am never caught up with the problems but am very easily able to find a way out. I am never disheartened even when I encounter the negative aspect of someone. Instead I am able to very effectively and smoothly come out of the situation.

The Positive Energy Of Blessings (Part 5)

Our Vibrations Can Change Our World
Blessing is a high power, pure energy or vibration which we create as thoughts and also express in words. It is important to remember that whoever our blessing is directed towards – it could be an individual, a group of people, an entire country’s population or the whole planet itself – it certainly reaches them. Being energy, it can travel even to the farthest corner of the world. Today, our world needs blessings of peace, love, compassion and happiness. Each of us can make our contributions in our own small ways and still make a big difference. If we send focused energy of blessings, we can surely transform the vibration of the world. To send blessings, we can sit in silence for a few minutes every day. During these few minutes we need to create pure and powerful thoughts and visualise them as reality. Below are a few thoughts we can create to heal and transform the world –

1. God is the Ocean of Peace. I am a peaceful soul. I connect to Him and absorb His peace. I emerge the globe in front of me and radiate peace to the planet, to everyone in the world. Each soul on the planet is receiving God’s vibrations of peace. Peace is the natural way of living of every person. I emerge all those places where there is violence and war ... Envelope them with God’s love and peace. The vibration of the world has shifted to peace.
2. God is the Ocean of Purity. I am a pure soul. God’s purity radiates to all elements of nature. Earth, Water, Air, Fire, Sky are purified with God’s energy. Nature is in harmony with humanity. All souls respect nature. Nature gives comfort, happiness and health to everyone.
3. God is the Ocean of Powers. I am a powerful soul. God’s powers radiate to every being ... empower all souls. Each soul radiates pure and powerful vibrations to every cell of their body. Every physical body on the planet is healthy. Perfect physical and mental health is natural for all.

To be powerful is to fly easily over the biggest obstacle.

Expression:When there is an awareness of the inner strength, difficult circumstances seem very easy to cross over. Nothing seems difficult or as a big obstacle, but the inner strength gives the power to very easily and quickly cross over all difficult and challenging situations.

Experience: When I have the power to fly, i.e., to go above the situations, I do not feel the bondage of the situation. So when I am up above everything down below (even the biggest mountain) seems very tiny and insignificant. So there is quick and steady progress experienced even when there are difficult situations in my life.

The Positive Energy Of Blessings (Part 4)

How To Watch the World News?
When we read about a person or a place in the newspaper or are watching the news channel, we tend to start creating the same emotions as the news. If we are watching news of a natural calamity, terrorist attack, accident, disease, financial crisis, then feeling sorrow, fear, anger and hatred seems to be natural. When we create these emotions, it is no more the news of the outer world; it becomes the quality of our inner world. By creating the negative emotions, we are also radiating the same vibration to the people and place involved in the incident – we are adding pain to their existing pain. We believe that feeling the same pain as the victim is compassion. Let us reflect do we want to send them more pain or do we want to send them healing energy. Compassion means to understand them and give them what they need. If there is anger and hatred, we need to send love. If there is panic and fear, we need to send peace. While watching the news ... detach and create the vibrations they need... not the vibration which already is.

If we create the same vibration of what is happening in the world, then we will radiate that into the world and more of that will happen in the world. If we hear about a terror attack and we create hatred, we then radiate hatred into the world. The vibrations of the world will shift more towards hatred and the violence in the world will increase. To send them healing energy and to shift the energy of the world towards love and peace, we will need to create those feelings and radiate to them even while we are witnessing violence. Being a detached observer means to create an emotion which is different from the emotion of the scene. The world needs vibrations of unity, compassion, respect, love and peace. Let’s create these vibrations always. One way of living is to get influenced by the vibration of the world. The other way is to influence the world with our vibrations.

To have faith that things will work out for the best means to ensure that they will.

Expression:To have faith that things will work out for the best means never to give up. Even if situations don't support and people don't give encouragement faith gives the ability to go on. Because of this there is recognition of eventhe not so visible resources and they are used for successfully completing the task.

Experience: When I have faith I am never discouraged by temporary failure, but am able to have the courage to move on towards success. I have constantly the satisfaction of giving my best. Because of my commitment and sincere effort, I find that situations and people too cooperate with me, bringing me success in whatever I undertake.

The Positive Energy Of Blessings (Part 3)

Blessing People And Situations
When we see habits of family, friends or colleagues which we feel are not right for them, we often get disturbed. In a state of worry, anxiety or fear we keep thinking about their habits and talk about them to others. Same happens with problems and situations in our lives, worry and over thinking seems to be a natural way of living. Repeated thinking and talking of the present reality radiates vibrations which strengthens habits and escalates problems. We have the power to influence them to change; we have the power to change the course of our problems - the power of blessings.

Visualize the reality you want, then create a thought that it already exists and then start radiating that thought to people or to the situation. Think and talk only that what you want should happen, believing that it has already happened. These are blessings for their habits or for the problem. Unaware we were creating negative thoughts and now aware we create positive thoughts. Change of thoughts and words shifts the vibration and reality begins to manifest. For e.g. if your child does not eat well or does not study or does not obey elders. Our normal way of thinking would be – My child does not eat. Hope he does not fall ill. What will his future be? The way he is performing, he can never be successful. Look at the way he behaves, he will never change. When we create such thoughts we are reaffirming the reality and allowing it to magnify. To change reality, we need to change our thoughts. Blessings will be – My child is honest and obedient. He loves and respects everyone. He is sincere and hard working, success today and always is definite for him. He eats a balanced diet and will always be healthy and happy.

Create and radiate these thoughts daily and experience the power of your blessings.

The power of good wishes enables disheartened ones to experience happiness.

Expression:The usual reaction to the negativity in another person is to behave negatively too, i.e., to express negative qualities. This continues although this does not bring about the desired change in the other person. On the other hand, when there is the ability to see the positive qualities in the other person and have good wishes based on that it becomes a source of power to bring about a change to positivity.

Experience: When I have the ability to give positive feelings and good wishes to the other person even when they are negative, they are able to get the power to change the negative to positive. I find that the change that I seek for in others is much more quicker and easier than if there is the emphasis just on negativity.

The Positive Energy Of Blessings (Part 2)

The Way To Give Blessings
Blessings are pure and powerful thoughts and words we create. We can give blessings to our self – for any sanskar we want to change, for the health of our body, for our relationships and work. Blessing means creating a thought or words of what we want the reality to be, even though it is not reality at present. It is an affirmation which radiates energy, the vibration of which creates the reality.

1. To change a sanskar of anger, Blessing – I am a peaceful soul. I accept everyone as they are. I express my opinion, but with dignity. I get work done with love and discipline. Peace and patience is my nature. 2. To change a sanskar of being late, Blessing – I am a powerful soul. I can be everything I choose to be. I have a sanskar of punctuality and I always reach before time.
3. For good health, Blessing – I am a pure soul. Every cell of my body is filled with love and happiness. I have released all past hurt. My body and mind is perfect and healthy.
4. To heal a relationship, Blessing – I am a loveful soul. I create all my relationships. My relationship with a particular person is a perfect relationship. All past negative emotions are over. We now exchange only love and acceptance for each other.

Similarly we can create blessings for our work or any other situation in life. Every morning create the blessing and visualize it at least 5 times. Before going to sleep these should be the last thoughts. After every hour, pause for a minute and create the blessing. Take care not to create thoughts which are opposite of the blessings, even if you can see them in reality.

Love and cooperation bring success in all tasks.

Expression:Love is reflected in the love that there is for the person and also for the task. When there is love for the person, there is the ability to give cooperation without any expectations or demands. And when there is love for the task there is the commitment for completing the task, whatever the obstacles that come up in the process of doing things.

Experience: When I am able to have love, I am able to receive hundred percent help and commitment from others too and so I am able to have the satisfaction of moving forward constantly. There is nothing difficult for me and I do everything with great ease. Not only is the task easy but also there is a spread of happiness and joy experienced by all who are involved in the task.

The Positive Energy Of Blessings (Part 1)

Blessings ... Sometimes or Always?
Our relationships are special because they are an exchange of love and respect. This exchange of pure vibrations empowers us and keeps us full of energy and enthusiasm. We call such people a blessing in our life. It is because their energy is a blessing for us and gives us the power to remain happy and enthusiastic in every scene of life. Their energy is a source of power for us which allows us to work tirelessly and face challenges with ease. Blessings are not specific thoughts and words created on special occasions, but every pure thought and word is a blessing. We have all experienced that blessings of saints, parents, teachers, family and friends have created miracles in our lives. Whether it is blessings given to a new born child, blessings given just before an exam, blessings for someone who is not well, blessings to begin a new career or business or blessings on any special occasion, we have all experienced the power of blessings on our destiny.

Blessing is a high power pure energy vibration which we create in our thoughts and also express it in words. Blessing means we are creating thoughts of happiness, health, harmony and success. Our vibrations influence their state of mind and when their thoughts become pure and powerful, their destiny is nothing short of a miracle.

Let us experiment today ... can our every thought and word be a blessing?

To be a master means to use the right power at the right time.

Expression:To be a master means to be aware of the internal qualities that one has. Also it is the ability to use these qualities as and when required. That means to be able to give an order and put into use in a second whatever internal power or virtue that is required at that time. If there is an awareness of the positive quality, and not the ability to put it into use within a second, it would not be called total mastery.

Experience: When I am a master I am able to have an experience of having control over whatever is happening around me. Even if something comes up suddenly, I still am able to feel the control over the situation and make the best out of it. I neither feel helpless nor blame others for what is happening.

Limiting Influences On Your Decision Making Ability (Part 2)

With whom does the choice to make your decisions lie? Are you going to be dominated by your fears and others’ negatively powerful influences, which paralyze your judgment power and confuse you sometimes or are you going to exercise your choice? When someone dominates you, they control you and make you feel irritated, frustrated and weak; they satisfy their own ego like that by controlling you and bringing you under their influence. You need to decide if you are comfortable being a victim of the other by being the one who satisfies the egos of others. It is not a very healthy attitude, on their part, but it happens in many relationships and we fall prey to that, because of a lack of spiritual power. Get back your personal ruling and controlling power and do not be afraid to be free and responsible for your choices. From today on, promise yourself that you will not allow your husband or wife, or children, or your friend, or mother-in-law, or your office colleague, anybody for that matter, influence the power of choice, the power to decide, that you possess. In the end, that way they will be happier; perhaps not at first, because a power game is created. Your personal freedom will lead to a healthier relationship, in the long run. Its fine to take an opinion or a viewpoint or support from someone, but there is a fine line between that and being controlled by someone, which we, many a times cross, and become a victim.

You are free when you take responsibility for what you are and how you feel. In meditation you can realize everything that has influenced you and know how to clear it, so that only the highest, the most positive influence you. This depends on each one of us. In our present society, there are many influencing factors, from the most negative, violent, corrupt and mediocre, to the purest, highest and most spiritual. It depends on each one what you want to consume and allow to be influenced by.

Real contentment spreads happiness to others too.

Expression:When one feels contentment but the others are not able to perceive that contenetment, it means that it is not true contentment. Real contentment is visible in such a way that others too are able to feel the happiness that is created. When there is real contentment, all thoughts, words and action are filled with quality.

Experience: When I am content, others automatically recognise the contentment within me. They are able to take benefit from my state. Even in the most hopeless state, I find that I become a source of support for those around me. I am able to give hope to the hopeless and help them get back to a state of happiness.
