In QiGong and Tai Chi, there are some special aspects of movement that need to be noticed and used in our daily lives. 1 - One Needs Continuity All things move and flow in life, for instance, take a butterfly, a butterfly is not erratic in its movements… it flows from one flower to the next and we also need to flow in all that we do. 2 - Stop All Sudden Movements Sudden movements stop the flow of Chi or Qi energy in the body. Stopping the flow causes pain and suffering. 3 - All Sudden Movements Stagnate

Yes of-course. Itâs a law that is universally applicable forever!rnThe Enlightened One explains to us how the science of karma operates:rnIn this world, through the media - the TV channels or newspapers, we see so many bad things happening in this world.

Once we have recognised that we cannot rely on the mental being to truly review, analyse and control the vital desire-soul of the exte al being, and adopted the principle enunciated by the Mother to hold up each thought, feeling, emotion, action and motivation before a ‘screen’ of one’s highest ideals, we have grasped a basic tool for changing human nature. The Mother expounds on this review process and how to apply it. Sincere and consistent application can make a profound difference in the way one responds and acts over time.

Everyone believes they are ‘conscious’. Spiritual seekers, especially, having awakened from the purely mechanical, habitual processes of the exte al life, certainly believe they are conscious. Those who believe in various religious traditions, by virtue of that belief, accept that they are conscious. This belief, however, does not change the facts of their lives, or the numerous areas where their lives are purely based in habit and a form of dull sleepwalking.

Once there was a man who had everything, he even had a huge yacht and he traveled all over the world taking care of his business, making sure he was making more money because he was jealous of his brother who had a few more millions than he did. But all of that was about to change.
Once we attain divine peace everything takes on a new outlook. Nothing is every the same again. Thus not only do we change but the whole universe changes at the same time.

Having a living Master to guide us on the path to enlightenment - what else could one ask for?! It is one of the highest blessings for any living being, and more so human beings, to meet a real Spiritual Master in their life! A real master is the pure vehicle through which we can connect with God in its true meaning. How can I find my spiritual master?rnFirstly ask yourself, âAm I really willing to have a Spiritual Master in my lifeâ?rnâAsk and it will be given to you;
Right now we live in a world where truth is not honored at all… people will say anything and create anything. But in the next 5 years, everything will change. I find it interesting, that in all the spiritual texts it says that truth, love, and peace, are all interchangeable with the name of the Divine… but are we honoring truth? What Can We Do? 1 - Be not afraid of what others say… live in your own truth. 2 - Let others say what they want… but know in your heart your own truth. You know in your heart and gut when something feels right or wrong… don’t let others control you.
Those who find their basis primarily in the mind tend to believe that their intellectual understanding of something represents something real and definitive and that their “knowing” means they “know” something. This is however, not quite accurate. For instance, one can read books and “know” about a particular activity or process but nevertheless be unable to fully comprehend all the subtlety or complexity that only becomes clear through experience and inner review. There is also the famous statement that reading about swimming does not mean one can swim when one enters the water.
I cannot remember exactly when I began to feel this way, but I know I was young. I have always been a feminist, from very early on as a child. I could feel how very wrong it was that men always seemed to have the upper hand. Things were out of balance. In my view, men and women were equal in every way. There was not even a need to think of it as âwe are equalâ, because to me it was obvious that we are simply human beings and there is no difference between us in the eyes o
For most people, the exte al personality and being, the body and its needs and habits, the life-force and its desires and the mind and its particular predilections, represent “who they are”. Rarely, an individual reflects deeply on the question of ‘who am I’ and begins to understand that there is a deeper significance and reality to our lives than can be contained within this exte al being.
We live in a world that prizes action and that continually impinges upon us with various information feeds and input from all directions. Quiet and stillness, the ability to remain calm without agitation or upset, the ability to achieve true peace in the mind, in the vital and nervous being and in the physical body, are generally not recognised as a true sign of strength. If we try to sit quietly for meditation, we find all kinds of thoughts chu ing through our minds.
Our ancient scriptures and the great works of some highly spiritual Saints help us gain very good insight on the path of enquiry of the Real Self. The teachings of the Enlightened Masters further uplift our consciousness so that we can be better equipped to know the real Self. But what about the actual experience of this Real Self?! No matter how sincerely, frequently and rigorously we may read these spiritual scriptures and teachings of Enlightened Masters, we can never find

While humanity embodies the development of the mental consciousness, in principle, it must be noted that this generalisation does not apply specifically to each and every human individual.
In Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, there are 8 limbs, or steps, systematically presented as the basis for the practice of Yoga. The first two of these, known as yamas and niyamas present preliminary practices to purify and stabilize the being to prepare for the practice of yoga. Many people consider these to be moral precepts, but in reality, they are simply ensuring that the physical, vital and mental being can effectively hold and utilize the force without becoming imbalanced, or misusing the force for unintended purposes.

While we are allured by the idea of spiritual experiences, or, if one looks at the popular media, the idea of some kind of unusual powers that an individual can develop, obtain or possess, we actually have very little idea about what is really possible, and how it actually occurs.

For most people, the mind is always active with an internal commentary or dialogue running as people react to situations or try to solve various issues. As the mind is trained to undertake intellectual processes, it follows a process of logic and organisation that is used to understand and act upon things in the world. The process we call “thinking” is a step-by-step and detailed internal system that tries to work its way through what many call a “decision tree”.

Nature takes a long time to effectuate substantive evolutionary progress in manifesting higher, more complex and more powerful forms of consciousness. The shift from the realm of Matter took countless millennia. The first appearance of Life was simple and, again, the time required was far beyond what any human individual can possibly conceive in any realistic manner.

Have you ever had a sense that there is more to something than what appears on the surface? As a child, you may have walked by a pond and picked up a pebble. Then, energy grew inside you directing your mind to send signals within you and pick up this rock with your hand. As your mind, body, and spirit united, a coordinated effort took place resulting in a thrust of energy tossing this rock into this pond. The effects of this driving force created a ripple affect on the surfac
Sri Aurobindo recognises that in order to effectively address the actions of the mind, the various underlying sources and the energies they raise up in their action must be clearly seen and understood. There is a difference in the way one needs to deal with a persistent emotional reaction, for instance, than a habit of response to physical stimuli.

There is a young couple who are very loving and kind, and have such a positive attitude about life. Mankind could learn a lot from this young couple. Here are a few aspects this couple embodies that are important for the maturation of mankind.
In today’s world we are confronted by politicians and business leaders who act aggressively, beat their chests, berate others, bully and otherwise exhibit behavior that proclaims “might is right” and therefore, due to their financial power or physical strength, they have the right to control others. These aggressive behaviors are frequently mixed up with racism or misogynistic tendencies where they can pick on those weaker than themselves, and rape, torture and sadistic actions are often part of their repertoire.

Many religious traditions and cultures have placed sex in a ‘taboo’ category for discussion or consideration. Sex is considered by many to be something sinful, immoral and only to be conducted within the confines of a lawfully sanctioned marriage and under guidelines for procreation not ‘enjoyment’. This means that most have been acculturated to regard sex something illicit and prurient, and this warps the response to the sexual energy when it arises, as the individual tries to keep it hidden, secretive and largely unexamined.
For many people, the religious life or the spiritual path is considered to be extremely serious and cheerfulness is considered to be some kind of frivolity, not becoming to the serious nature of the endeavour. They make spiritual practice into a harsh discipline and struggle with difficulties and in many cases fight with their nature as they feel it responding to things differently than they want. In extreme cases, they undertake mortification of the body and may use self-flagellation or the cilice in their attempt to punish the body for its ‘sinful’ ways.
Dr. Dean Ornish held a webinar on Sunday November 20, 2022 with the Vegan Society of Honolulu, Hawaii, in which he succinctly explained the role of suffering in the progress of humanity.

If you take a bunch of sugar and dissolve it in water the sugar disappears. But when you taste the water that sugar is still there. The sugar is in every drop… it’s all-pervading. The sugar is like the presence of God which is everywhere. We are the drop of sugar water that comes to the roots of the Tree of Life and spreads out to the limbs and out to the leaves. We are the billions of leaves called “Humanity” that abound on this great tree.
We feel like something is missing in our lives. It could be something material, it could be just a pang of hunger or thirst. It could be a sense of emotional emptiness, unattached to a specific object. We may feel like we need to find out something, do something, know something, respond to something, although we are not quite sure exactly what it is. This sense of emptiness occurs to everyone at various times of life. In some cases, where it is attached to a specific desire we can identify what it is we seek. But in many cases, it is vague, amorphous, undefined.
Vodka is made primarily with water and ethanol alcohol of agricultural origin, such as wheat, potato, liquid from cereal grains, some modern brands using fruits, honey, or maple sap as the base or barley has been fermented.

This type of liquor designated by the Russian Word vodka came to Russia in the 14th cen
There is a complex interaction between the exte al mind-life-body complex and the subconscious level of our existence. As we experience various things in our lives, including illness, accidents or various circumstances, our mind tries to build a pattern of recognition and develops a memory. These things then fall into the subconscious level where they remain until a similar situation, circumstance, time-frame, cycle occurs to trigger that memory and that recognised pattern.
The Mother provides a clear approach to transforming the vital nature. In part 1 she addresses how to gain perspective, the necessary steps involved and the kind of resistance that arises and what can be done about it.
Many feel happiness is tied with money. But is money all that it takes to be happy? Can one not experience happiness without money? Let us explore! If there is one tendency common to every person regardless of their circumstances, it is the need for happiness. Most, if not all, of our decisions are ultimately based on the promise of happiness, immediate or gradual, direct or indirect. They are also influenced by our notion or understanding of happiness. What makes me happy ma
At some time or another, every human being has the experience of having an opinion, thought or idea contradicted. The usual reaction is to defend one’s position, whether or not it is well-founded, and arguments tend to ensure. It is rare that one side of the argument is entirely right, and the other side entirely wrong, when looked at from a neutral perspective. Generally, there is something that can be appreciated or understood from any opposing or differing viewpoints, yet we tend to be so busy defending our own view that we fail to appreciate the positive aspects of other views.
