Begin to experience soul power to influence well-being

Nature creates  physical bodies as vehicles for our spiritual beings so that we can fulfill our life's purpose. The physical body is perishable; so  if we want to complete the journey in this lifetime, then we need to take better care of it. A deeper understanding of our spiritual being will help us to use our soul power to influence the physical  body to stay well, to stay healthy and to heal.

I felt  the message of  Day 5  spoke directly to me. It sounds like a clarion call to wake up my soul power. It means  that I have to make  a greater effort to truly understand what are the  powers in my soul  and learn to use  them powerfully and effectively  in this human life.

Having been challenged by illness for many years, I have come to realize that  well-being  is more than just at the physical level. It involves the more spiritual forces within. I feel that I am being given the opportunity of a lifetime for my soul to experience its intimate connection with the Supreme Power. The challenge is to remain connected in every moment, in every situation, in every thought, in every word, in every action.
I must be willing therefore  to explore my inner world diligently.

Have you been thinking of your journey and whether you want to complete it in this lifetime? Are you curious to know and experience the powers of your spiritual being?

Blessings on your journey,
Reena

Know that Consciousness is the link

Today's message,Day 4, reminded us that we all  have been created out of  the same infinite Source.We are made of the same substance as the Source.That substance is Consciousness. Out of Consciousness comes the energy for creation through the instrument of the Superego.

The Superego creates  an energy being of desire,mind, emotion and vitality. The energy being then    occupies a physical body created by Nature,another part of the Source. As energy beings come into physical bodies, the consciousness contracts, and so,connection with the Source becomes limited.

 Everything that is happening is happening in the Source. We cannot understand the Source in all its fullness,but we can seek to understand ourselves.We need to hold on to the Consciousness link that exists between the energy being, the physical body and the Source.To experience the very Source from which we have come, we need to begin the journey by asking 'Who am I?'

Thus, the game of hide and seek begins........this is what I gathered from the message today.

Become  a conscious player in the game of life!

Understanding The Play of Creation

This morning I followed Day 3 of the retreat program via live streaming .....thanks to amazing  technology  which allows us  to connect  with  Sri Vasudeva and each other beyond the physical. I appreciated the talk very much which was given with so much enthusiasm and excitement.  As I listened, it seemed as if I was  enveloped  by a  wave of happy energy.

The story of how Creation unfolds from Pure Consciousness, which is at the core of our being, opens up a different perspective of  life. It makes life   a bit more interesting to explore, to want to know, to experience the play ...

I  also liked   the description of the human body as a highly complex machine with a visible anatomy and an invisible one. Many of us have some basic knowledge of the visible anatomy, but these questions, as posed by Sri Vasudeva, really hit home.

"But what about the invisible part that is even more powerful than the physical part? And more importantly, why was this human machine created in the first place? When machines are created, they are created for a task.  How many of us really consider that?" 

 A lot of  important questions to ponder,don't you think?

peace,

True well-being - Is this a possibility for you?

Life is so unpredictable, the human experience is filled with challenges everyday. How do we cope when we  are told that our life is threatened by disease?  Where do we find the strength to deal with daily challenges?Is there a place that is untouched by the drama of human existence? Is there a place of constant well-being, where we are free from disease, pain and suffering?

I believe in the possibility that such a place does exist, where anything is possible.It is a place from which we can be replenished,draw wisdom and be better prepared to meet any challenge in life.

Reflecting on today's talk on  TRUE WELLBEING made me realize how important it is to have a strong desire to want to know more and to experience total well-being at all levels.I feel encouraged and excited knowing that the more I try to understand and experience, the more grace I will attract.

Be open. Believe in the possibility.

peace,

Tapping into the transforming power of consciousness.

There is always an excitement when this time comes around; there is 'something special' in the air as the Blue Star centre hosts its 40 Days Meditation Retreat, from March 26 - May 4.Blue Star Trinidad and Tobago This observance is an invitation to share in a period of high spiritual energy, and it marks a very significant period in the Blue Star organization and the life of its founder, Sri Vasudeva.

I have found that when I take the time  to engage in spiritual activities, I always feel so uplifted. Therefore, I am determined to make the most of this 40 days, especially as the theme is SECRETS TO TRUE WELL-BEING: Tapping into the transforming power of consciousness.

Last night,my daughter and  I attended satsang; the chanting was so powerful , and together with meditation created   such a healing effect on my body. I was able to wake up to accompany my son for the  early morning program at 5.15 a.m.The talk for Day 1, given by Sri Vasudeva,  introduced the topic of True Wellbeing and this will be explored in the days to come.

What I was reminded of   this morning is that at the core of our being ,we exist in a source of infinite energy.  The challenge is to use the intellect to attune to the very source of our being; to tap into that space from which we can  be nourished and replenished  and thus create wellness at every level.

I look forward to the days ahead with the intention of learning how to live in a higher state of consciousness and manifest it in the human experience.

May we be blessed with grace to make this journey.

Take responsibilty for your own health and healing.

My heart reaches out today to all those who are challenged by illness, especially those who are at the San Fernando General Hospital, in Trinidad. It's hard to imagine how much more stress they are experiencing because   of overcrowding and understaffing -a fallout from the suspensions,pending investigation,  of five doctors and nurses.Check here for news report

One way we can all help is to  send our love and healing energy to all those involved so that there can be a quick resolution to the existing situation.

 Our  health care system is in dire need of a more serious integrated approach for better  health and well-being. Too often,we hear or read of complaints of doctors and nurses providing medical services that are inadequate.On the other hand, they are quick to point out that they are hampered by lack of equipment/facilities/supplies/support staff....and the list can go on and on.

All  individuals should play a more active role in the maintenance of their health and in the  treatment of any illness.Our health is our responsibility. I believe the first step in creating better health is to recognize that we are multi-dimensional beings: body,mind and spirit.The more we learn about who we are, the better prepared we are to face health challenges.

With this in mind, I am going to participate in a Blue Star 40 days program with Sri Vasudeva, you can read more about it on the web site Meditation retreat. and also check out  my friend's blog .

You can join in and be a part of a healing journey.

A Happy,Healthy  Thursday

Life is the ultimate jigsaw puzzle!

I love building jigsaw puzzles; I started a new one on Saturday morning. It's 750 pieces, 38in by 11in,a  beautiful picture of songbirds sitting on a fence.The puzzle is spread out on the dining table,and as I work on it, I can hear a symphony of live birds coming from the nearby bushes and trees.They don't make sad sounds; they are always chirping a happy tune.

Anyway,back to puzzle-making......it's such a relaxing hobby for me, it helps  to quiet the mind and keep it  focused on building the picture.Sometimes I find myself chanting or singing as I sort out the pieces; and there is such a simple pleasure when the picture begins to take shape. One of the lessons I have learned in puzzle-making is to have patience; it takes a lot of time before I can admire the finished product.

Yesterday, my son asked what process I use in building the puzzle.I never thought about it before. Is there only one way or do others have some other strategy?  Usually, I look for the ends,and get the outline, then I look for similar colours and start building a particular scene such as the sky or in this case, the birds. It's helpful in watching how the mind works.

One of the reasons I love doing puzzles is that it reminds me of my mother;she was a champion puzzle-maker! She had a sharp eye for colour and shapes; and she was ever so happy when she got a puzzle as a gift. I have also noticed that my daughter is quite good at helping me, we completed  a 3000 piece together, so maybe, we have a gene for puzzle-making in the family.!

Putting the puzzle pieces together makes me think of how life is made up of different situations,events, circumstances; sometimes you don't see the immediate connection, but as time moves forward, a picture comes together. You begin to see and trust that your life is part of a larger picture;and just as every little puzzle piece is important, so too,every individual life is important in the grand scheme of things. 

Does that make sense at all? Take time to listen to the birds; reflect and enjoy the  puzzle pieces of your life. 

peace and love
