Energy

We lose energy by Unnecessary talking, Gossiping, Not minding our business, Always interested in others business, Unnecessary thinking and Unnecessary act.

Unconsciously we start stealing energy from others and other people steal energy from us.

An energy stealer is a person who feeds off your emotional, or psychic, energy. People who display energy stealer traits generally lack empathy, sensitivity, and emotional maturity. As a result of the pain or insecurity they feel inside, energy stealers are addicted to preying on the vitality of others as an attempt to heal their inner suffering.

An energy stealer could be anyone: a friend, a family member, a colleague, an acquaintance, a child, a son or daughter, or even a romantic partner. If you’re a highly empathetic and caring person, it’s also possible to actively attract energy vampires into your life. Unfortunately, if you’re a highly compassionate person who doesn’t know how to set boundaries, it’s very likely that you’re surrounded by energy vampires right now!

Below are some Energy stealing patterns:

1. Poor me (The Victims): They gains energy by being sad or sick and by moaning and complaining. They are never interested in getting the solution of their problems, and that is because it gets the attention of all the people around them.

This kind of energy stealers always present themselves as eternally unlucky or unappreciated. Although they may seem sympathetic at the beginning, one can observe afterwards, that these people bear the grudge against everyone else. In fact, their attitude of playing the victim is a way to show that everyone else is a victimizer. So, everyone else should take care of them because they are responsible for their situation.

They are so sad that one feels guilty to be happy in their presence. Needless to say, this childish personality will do anything, hurt or even kill themselves to gain your attention and your Energy!

And if that does not work the Poor Me always flips into the Violator Strategy in order to get attention. Ignore them and they get Very Very Angry!!! This is the origin of many Bi-polar Disorders.

The dysfunctional behavior is due to their extremely low self-esteem. Without always receiving signs of love, thanks, and approval, they feel unworthy and unacceptable, which they try to resolve by making you feel guilty and sucking away your sympathy/empathy.

How to nurture your energy: When you’re around a  Poor me/ Victim energy stealer, be aware of the self-pity cues. For example, a self-pity cue could be the person’s tendency to blame another person for their suffering, or perhaps a description of how terrible their day has been. Don’t get involved in their self-pity. Limit your interaction with them if possible.


2. Intimidator (The Terrorist/ The Dominator): This is every kind of person that uses her or his power to steal energy from other people. They exploit their big or small authority in order to impose themselves on others. The energy terrorists can be found everywhere. They can be our teachers at the school or the professors at the College, the policemen on the streets, the bureaucrats at the city hall, our boss, our neighbors. They can even be our parents or other relatives. These people will make use of the slightest power they can exert on us to control us and gain energy. They will start yelling or giving strict deadlines and commands. They will emotionally blackmail you, if you cannot satisfy their wishes and whims. They love to feel superior and like “alpha” males or females. Due to their deep inner insecurities of being “weak” or “wrong” (and therefore hurt), Dominator must overcompensate by intimidating you. Often Dominator stealers are loud-mouthed types of people who have rigid beliefs, and black and white perceptions of the world. They are often racist, sexist and/or bigoted.

How to nurture your energy: It is very difficult to completely avoid persons who are in socially superior positions. Although we should not become submissive we should also be diplomatic. Remember always that these people have an authority on you in certain domains of your life, not on your whole existence. And their authority on you stops if you will stop interacting with them. Show them they should respect you because otherwise you will totally ignore them, or they will lose you.
Agree to disagree. Practice assertiveness when necessary and limit your contact with Dominator stealers. Realize that their attempt to scare you is sourced from their deep fear of being dominated and thus hurt.


3. Aloof : When we remain quiet as a child, then our mothers often ask if there is a problem. The strategy has worked! We have caught the attention, the energy, the love of our mothers. The aloof use this strategy to gain attention. They will sit in one corner...Group energy focus on this person and lose energy.


4. Trickster: They give you false promises (Ex: Corrupt Politicians)


5. Performer: TV Serial, News, Social media

We love Facebook/ Whatsapp as much as the next, and some online media can be great (stay informed!). But when you spend your time online longer than you intend to (and who doesn’t?), you can often feel like you have been busy, even working – although you have produced nothing and your only efforts have been to tend your fake crops or catch up on celebrity gossip. You feel exhausted, even though you haven’t moved in two hours.
Tip: Realize that being “busy” and being “productive” are two very different things that you must not mix up. Set a timer for your online activity and stick to it.


6. Arrogant: Arrogant people drain your energy in a very sneaky manner. They will not fight or argue with you, but they will also show they do not really care to listen to your opinion. In a working or erotic relationship, you may have to discuss issues with them, but they will pretend to be busy and they have “more important things to do” as their mantra always goes. When they are among people, they try to guide the discussion. Otherwise, they are detached. In general, if they are not the center of interest, they behave cold and aloof. They drain our energy by keeping us hanging on and building a wall which we cannot penetrate. This is of course extremely tiring if you have to work with them or you are in an erotic affair.

How to stop them: Arrogant people are difficult to change and basically, they should be avoided or left alone. When you will ignore them, they will try to get your attention back. When you will be open to them again, they will pretend to be too busy or uninterested to what you have to say. If a person in your family shows that you will not fight for their attention. You can care for them without giving them a pretext to do like they do not need you. Yet, in order not to drive them in the solitude of self-importance, try to be nurturing to them, without expecting something back or showing that you need something from them.


7. Interrogator: This one is always asking questions to get your attention. This is a category of people who live through gossiping and criticizing whatever other people do. Usually, they do so in a disrespectful or hypocritical manner. These people drain energy by bombing you with questions and finding your weak sides and flaws which they will somehow underscore in the discussion. Ironically, they are quite secretive when it comes to their own life and they are afraid of getting open or expose themselves. Sometimes it is difficult for an honest person or an empath to block this “Inquisition”. Besides, in a friendly discussion there is no reason to be insincere or secretive.

How to stop them: Communication is about exchanging experiences, ideas and disclosing your emotions, otherwise communication is not complete. However, in front of an Interrogator, the best defense is not to feed the energy drain. The Interrogator will go only deeper and deeper with his/her questions in order to make you vulnerable. You don’t have to lie but you should be aware of the information you share about yourself. Keep the control of the discussion and do not speak about things you do not want to. If the Interrogator insists on asking about personal matters, ask them back in the similar way. This will show them in which awkward condition they bring you.


8. Narcissist: A Narcissist Energy stealer has no capacity to show empathy, or genuine interest, towards other people. Narcissist stealers carry the unconscious philosophy of “ME first, YOU second.” Therefore, Narcissist stealers will constantly expect you to put them first, feed their egos and do what they say. Narcissist stealers will also manipulate you with false charm, but will just as quickly turn around and stab you in the back. If you have a Narcissist stealer in your life, you might feel a sense of extreme disempowerment as you feel crushed beneath their limelight.

How to nurture your energy: If you’re unable to cut this person off from your life right now, you might like to limit contact. You could also show the Narcissistic Vampire how your requests satisfy their self-interest, particularly if you’re in a working relationship.


9. Judgemental: Due to their severely low self-worth, the Judgemental Energy stealer loves to pick on other people. Their treatment of other people is merely a reflection of how they treat themselves. Judgemental stealers enjoy preying on your insecurities and bolstering their egos by making you feel small, pathetic or ashamed.

How to nurture your energy: Remember that true self-worth must come from within. Refuse to take what the Judgemental stealers says personally. Be aware of their deeper pain and their need to feel good about themselves. When you get defensive, you lose. Keep a balanced head, and try being sweet to them (that really throws them off balance!). Reduce, or cut off contact with them if possible.


10. Innocent: Energy stealers aren’t always malicious, as in the case of Innocent stealers. Sometimes they can be helpless types of people who genuinely need help such as children or good friends who come to rely on you too much. It’s good that you help those you care about, but it’s also important that you encourage them to be self-sufficient. Playing the role of the constant “rock” or support will eventually erode away your energy. As a result, you’ll have little energy to support yourself.

How to nurture your energy: Helping those in need is a display of compassion and love, but you also need to remember to love yourself. Gently remind the Innocent Vampire in your life that you need time to yourself as well. Encourage them to develop strength, fortitude and resilience so that you can remove the role of constant caretaker or giver.

The above patterns are the incorrect ways of stealing energies from other people. The best way to receive energy is:

1. By doing meditation
2. Having proper sleep 
3. Spending time in nature
4. Spending time with children
5. Spending time with pets
6. Being in the company of positive and loving people (Satsang)
7. Being centered and grounded
8. Eating satvik food 
9. Consciously not becoming part of energy losing mechanism and not indulging in unnecessary talks, thinking and act 
10. Becoming aware and setting boundaries with energy stealers

The Seven Essense Mirrors of Relationships - Gregg Braden

What the Essenes said was that, for us to know and master ourselves in this world, we will see one or some combination of mirrored patterns in others. If you find yourself around individuals who are angry or dishonest, they are showing you your anger or dishonesty.
Every moment of life our inner reality is mirrored in the actions, the choices, the language of the people around us.
We attract people into our lives, and they are like these 7 mirrors or 7 types. When we learn the lesson these people or situations stop coming into our lives. Ask yourself what’s the pattern in my life?
Each moment of our life, the reality of our internal truth (what we have become) is mirrored to us by the actions, the choices, and the language of those around us.
The Seven Essene mirrors of relationships will be presented to everyone through the relationships of their lifetime. The seven essene mirrors is a way of understanding how the process of life works. We can use what seem to be negative experiences as stepping-stones to healing and empowerment.


FIRST MIRROR: Mirror/ Reflections of the Present moment

First mirror shows our presence in the moment. What we are. What we are radiating in the moment. What we reflect by others in the moment.
Knowing ourselves at the subtlest levels and transforming these moments into our learning is a path to self-mastery.

SECOND MIRROR: Mirror/ Reflections of Judgment

This mirror reflects to us that which we judge in the moment. Whatever judgement you make about others is about yourself only. If you judge or condemn others, then you will attract into your lives, exactly what you judge. Recognizing them and compassionately allowing your relationships to demonstrate their mirror to you (rather than resisting or getting even) will help to reduce these instances.
When I find that many people show me the same pattern of anger or fear, they may be showing me my internal truth in the moment.

Look at the people you hold most dear.  Look at the qualities that push your buttons most.  Are they showing you what you are in the moment?  Or are they showing you what you judge in the moment?

THIRD MIRROR: Mirror/ Reflections of Childhood loss

It’s the mirror we sense every time we find ourselves in the presence of a person who, when we look in their eyes you feel an electrical charge. It reflects back to us something we lost, gave away, or had taken a way. When we see something we love and desire in another, it is often something we have lost, given away or had stolen in our own lives. Every relationship is a relationship with self and often we try to reclaim what was lost. We gave away, or had taken away as a child. It could be joy, innocence, honesty and integrity, courage or love. All of which can be reclaimed within self.
As you journey through life, pieces of your life may be lost, innocently given, or taken away by those who have had power over you. These are your compromises, exchanged for surviving your experience. When you desire to love and give of yourself you may find nothing is left. Calling back those pieces of you may be your highest expression of personal mastery.

Through the course of our lives we give away or lose parts of ourselves.  When we find ourselves in the presence of another individual who embodies what we have lost, we will feel it as a magnetic connection to that person.  Ask: what is it I see in this person what I have lost or I've given away or was taken from me?
We will seek to reinforce that which we have lost, given away or had taken away.

FOURTH MIRROR: Mirror/ Reflections of your most forgotten love (greatest fear)

Fourth Essene mystery/mirror of relationship: Has a little bit of a different quality. Through the course of our lives often we will adopt patterns of behavior that become so important to us that we will rearrange the rest of our lives to accommodate this pattern or behavior.
This could be a way of life, a lost or unfinished relationship. Often it is a past life where a wrong conclusion from past experience was created. These will recreate themselves over and over until the right conclusion is registered in the soul as wisdom.
The part of yourself that you have least remembered, the part that you hold most clear is your forgotten love.
When we find ourselves in this situation, we find that these patterns may be compulsive or addictive patterns of behavior.  This allows us to see ourselves in the presence of addiction or compulsion.  Through addiction and compulsion, we give away little by little the things that we hold most important to us.  And in the giving away, we have the opportunity to see ourselves as we lose the things, we hold most dear. Addictions provide you with the opportunity to experience your greatest fears as you drive away the things that you hold most dear. The gift of addictions is that you can see your greatest fears and identify that which you have a charge on.
Alcohol or nicotine may come to mind.  Issues of control.  Addiction to sex.  Need for money. - all addiction/compulsion behaviors.
The pattern unfolds gradually unfolds over time.  We give away what is most important to us over time.  We may recognize the pattern at any time and heal, at any time.  Rather than taking it to its extreme.  And find our wholeness in the healing.


FIFTH MIRROR: Mirror/ Reflections of father/mother/creator

The fifth mirror reflects back to us Father/Mother or the Creator. Our fathers and mothers are Gods to us. By virtue of healing our illusions and relationships with our earthly mother and father, we heal our perception of our relationship with the creator. The way we perceive our parents reflects our beliefs of the way the Creator views us. We see perfections in the perceived imperfections of life.
This is perhaps single most powerful pattern.  Can see more and to a greater level why we've lived the lives we live.  It is the mirror that our parents showed to us through the course of our childhood/lives with them.  Through this mirror we are asked to allow for the possibility, to entertain the possibility that perhaps the actions of our parents toward us are mirroring our beliefs and expectations of what may be the most sacred relationship we'll ever know in our lifetime: relationship between us and our Heavenly Mother and Father.  It is through this relationship with our earthly parents that our parents are showing us ourselves in that expectation and beliefs of that divine relationship.  For example: if we find ourselves in a relationship with our parents where we feel judged, constantly.  Or that we feel that our best is never good enough.  There is a high probability that what is being mirrored is our belief within ourselves that we may not be good enough.  Or that we may not have accomplished that which may have been expected of us.
Through our perceptions of ourselves and our creator.  It’s a powerful and subtle mirror.  And it may tell us more about why we’ve lived our lives as we have than any other.
There are few absolutes.  There are often exceptions.  If you feel something inside of you welling up that says NO WAY, you’ve likely encountered something that could be really powerful.  The only way you’ll have a response is when you are being shown something that is so deep you may have chosen to avert looking at it in the past.
The way you see your Mother and Father (the words you use) of this world is a mirror of your expectations of the relationship you have with your Heavenly Mother and Father.  There are many ways to look at this.  Is it possible that inviting you to this world lives an unspoken responsibility that those who raise us are surrogates, they are the closest thing we know in our Heavenly Creator.  They have impeccably held to you the way you see your relationship with your Heavenly Parents.

When you perceived your parents’ anger, you felt what your creator felt.
This mirror may show you your beliefs, your expectations of what your creator feels for and about you.
Sentence: What would you say to your parents if you had only one minute left?  What would you like to hear from your parents in the last minute of your life?
Through our earth life, we have the opportunity to heal our relationships with both earthly parents and Heavenly Parents by recognizing what the mirror is trying to show us, so to release it.

Both the positive and negative attributes of our earthly parents’ mirror to us of how we perceive our Heavenly Parents.

SIXTH MIRROR: Mirror/ Reflections of your quest into darkness (dark night of the soul)

The sixth mirror reflects back to us the Quest for Darkness or what is often referred to as the Dark Night of the Soul. This is when we meet our greatest, challenges, our greatest fears and have been gathering the tools and understandings in life to confront them.
With few exceptions, nearly everyone will experience a ‘dark night of the soul’ at some point in the course of their lives. This is an experience where you are drawn into a situation or circumstance representing what appears to you to be your worst fear. This awakens a dormant force that may become your most powerful ally, a gift toward highest levels of mastery for you in this lifetime. You will access every particle of wisdom available to you, from the depths of your innermost experience, to overcome the fear. To know ourselves in our greatest darkness is our opportunity to heal that part of ourselves that we least choose to experience. To find our balance, we must know our extremes on either sides and embrace both to heal the judgment of our experience and to find the power of our truest nature. The quest into darkness does not have to hurt. The pain, if any, is also our mirror of the degree of charge that we have placed on “not losing” the things we hold most clear dear in life. This mirror empowers us to the level of recognizing the true self within us.

We are reminded that life has a propensity toward balance, nature has propensity toward balance.  It takes an extremely skillful and masterful being to upset the balance in nature and to upset the balance in our lives.  When we find ourselves in the greatest challenges of life, it in those moments that we may be assured that the only way those challenges are possible is after we have amassed each tool that will allow us to move through that challenge with grace and with ease, until those tools are amassed, we will never see ourselves in the situations that ask us to demonstrate these high levels of mastery.

From this perspective, the greatest challenges of life, may be viewed as tremendous opportunities to demonstrate mastery, rather than tests that may be passed or failed in life.  It is through this mirror that we see ourselves naked, without the emotion and feeling and thought and constructs around us that we have constructed around us to keep us safe.  We have the opportunity to see ourselves in a naked way and to prove to ourselves that the process of life may be trusted.

This mirror is an opportunity to lose everything we’ve held dear in life and see ourselves naked.  As we climb out of the abyss that is left after the loss of everything, we held dear, and we see ourselves in a new way; this is where we find our highest levels of master.

When you don’t face your deep dark fears, it gets manifested.
Whatever you reject, you attract
Whatever you resist, it persists.

Your body mirrors your belief.  Illness is only possible if you believe that the forces of light and dark are separate.  If we know that dark and light both originate in our creator, we will not fear.

As you heal each memory, you heal the universal fears:
1. Fear of not being good enough.
2. Fear of trusting and surrendering.
3. Fear of abandonment and separation.

Understand the fear, experience it, and then let it go.


SEVENTH MIRROR: Mirror/ Reflections of your greatest act of compassion

The seventh mirror reflects to us our self-perception. It’s the most subtle mirror.  It asks us to allow for the possibility, that each experience of life, regardless of its outcome, is perfect in its nature.  Regardless of whether we achieve the lofty goals that have been set by others, we are invited to view our accomplishments in life without comparing them to anything else, without any external reference.  The only way we can view ourselves in failure or success is when we measure our accomplishments to an external yardstick.  The question then arises, what is it that we hold ourselves accountable to?  What do we use as our yardstick of accomplishment?    From the perspective of this mirror, we are asked to allow for the possibility that all aspects of our lives (each aspect of our personal life: body shape, body weight, academic, business, athletic achievements) are perfect as they stand.  And can only be judged when they are compared to an external reference
Others will perceive and treat us according to how we perceive and treat ourselves. If we have a low self-esteem and do not acknowledge our wisdom and beauty, others will not acknowledge them. If we are angry, bitter and unloving to others, they in turn will often react in the same way towards us. When we change our perception of ourselves, we change the world. Maybe it is time to be kind, loving and compassionate to ourselves and others. Remember that, “The only reason anyone has power over you is you want something from them, “Whether it is love, joy, companionship or a personal Divine connection, everything can be found within.

Through the mirror of ourselves, we are asked to compassionately allow perfection in each expression of life, regardless of how the experience is viewed by others. The greatest act of compassion that you may ever be asked to demonstrate may well be compassion for yourself. Worth and to love and respect the gift of the perfection of life through your body.
Allow for perfection in the imperfections of life.  What standard are we holding ourselves to which cause us to feel unhappy?

Compassion may be defined as:
Thought without attachment to the outcome.
Feeling without distortion.
Emotion without charge.

Anger is in polarity.  Denial, not allowing feeling.  Allow feeling opens path to compassion.  If you feel nothing when you learn of something horrible, it’s possible that you are in denial.  If you want to get even or make someone pay, you are allowing yourself to feel.  If you can say to yourself, I miss those people and this didn’t have to happen and there’s a sense that there is a balance in the event, then you may be on the way to compassion.


Conclusion:

Each one of the seven mysteries is sequential, building upon the realization of the one previous to it and through each you heal your fears in doing so, you prepare for yourself the path that allows compassion to be a force in your life.
Subtle mirrors will be recognized and resolved before the powerful mirrors of even greater subtly are acknowledged. Emotions that lead to compassion are mastered, in sequence, through consciously acknowledging and mastering these seven mirrors. Recognizing what the sequence is saying to you and why you repeat similar patterns with different people may guide you toward your highest mastery. These mirrors are written in order from least to greatest degree of subtlety.

Wisdom of Lao Tzu

Tao is a Chinese word signifying "way", "path", "route", "road" or sometimes more loosely "doctrine", "principle" or "holistic beliefs". In the context of East Asian philosophy and East Asian religions, Tao is the natural order of the universe whose character one's human intuition must discern in order to realize the potential for individual wisdom. This intuitive knowing of "life" cannot be grasped as a concept; it is known through actual living experience of one's everyday being.


The Eternal Tao

The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not eternal name.
The un-namable is the eternally real.


The relation that can be named is not the real relationship. A relationship which is nameless is a real relationship.

Watch the watcher
Observe the observer

Desires

Free from desire. you realize the mystery
Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations
Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source

Sutra of Duality & Non-Duality

Being & non being create each
Difficult & easy support each other
Long & short define each other
High & low depend on each other
Before & after follow each other

Sutra of Non - Doing

The Master leads
by emptying people's minds and filling their cores.
He helps people lose everything they know, everything they desire,
and creates confusion in those who think than they know.
Practice non-doing, and everything will fall into place.


Therefore the Master
acts without doing anything
and teaches without saying anything
Things arise and She let them come;
things disappear and she lets them go.

Sutra of Infinite Possibilities

The Tao is like a well;
Used but never used up.
It is like the eternal void;
filled with infinite Possibilities.

It is hidden but always present
I don't know who gave birth to it.
It is older than God.

The center of your being

The Tao doesn't take Sides;
it give birth to both good & evil;
The Master doesn't take sides;
she welcome both saints and sinners


The Tao is like a bellows:
it is empty yet infinitely capable.
The more you use it, the more it produces;
the more you talk of it, the less you understand.
Hold on to the center.

The Tao is called the Great Mother;
empty yet inexhaustible
It gives birth to infinite worlds.
It is always present within you
you can use it.

The Tao is infinite, eternal.
Why is it eternal?
It was never born;
thus it can never die.
Why is it infinite?
It has no desires for itself;
thus it is present for all beings.

Sutra of Detachment

Fill your bowl to the brim
and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife
and it will blunt
Chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench
Care about people's approval
and you will be their prisoner.
Do your work, then step back.
The only path to serenity


Being and non-Being

We Join spokes together in a wheel. but it is the center hole. that makes wagon move.

We shape clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that holds whatever we want.

We hammer wood for a house,
but it is the inner space
that makes it livable.

We work with being.
but non-being is what we use


Trusting Inner vision

Colors blind the eye.
Sound deafen the ear.
Flavors numb the taste
Thoughts weaken the mind
Desires wither the heart

The Master observes the world but trusts his inner vision.
He allows things to come and go.
His heart is open as the sky.

The Master doesn't talk, he acts.
When his work is done,
the people say, "Amazing",
we did it, all by ourselves!


Four great powers

The Tao is great
The universe is great
Earth is great
Man is great


The True leader

When the master governs, the people are hardly aware that he exists.
Next best is a leader who is loved.
Next, one who is feared.
The worst is one who is despised.

If you don't trust the people, you make them untrustworthy.

Man follows the earth
Earth follows the universe
The universe follows the Tao
The Tao follows only itself.

You are the Eternal Traveler

As good traveler has no fixed plans
and is not intent upon arriving.
A good artist lets his intuition
lead him wherever it wants.

The Tao Exist in every being and in everything

SEVEN SPIRITUAL LAWS OF SUCCESS By Deepak Chopra

Many of us grew up with the belief that achieving success requires relentless hard work, grim determination, and intense ambition. As a result, we may have struggled for years and even reached some of our goals but wound up feeling exhausted, our lives out of balance.

As Deepak Chopra observes in his transformational work, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, such desperate striving isn’t necessary or even desirable. In the natural world, creation comes forth with ease. A seed doesn’t struggle to become a tree―it simply unfolds in grace.

The Seven Spiritual Laws are powerful principles you can use to fulfill your deepest desires with effortless joy. If you put them into practice, you’ll realize that you can manifest whatever you’ve been dreaming about.

Fortunately, the laws of success aren’t difficult or mysterious but are easy to understand and apply. There are also many ways for you to learn more about using The Seven Spiritual Laws to attract the life you truly want, and right here is a great place to begin:

Sunday: The Law of Pure Potentiality
Take time to be silent, to just BE. Meditate for 30 minutes twice a day. Silently witness the intelligence within every living thing. Practice non-judgment.


Monday: The Law of Giving
Today, bring whomever you encounter a gift: a compliment or flower. Gratefully receive gifts. Keep wealth circulating by giving and receiving care, affection, appreciation and love.


Tuesday: The Law of Karma
Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind. Choosing actions that bring happiness and success to others ensures the flow of happiness and success to you.


Wednesday: The Law of Least Effort
Accept people, situations, and events as they occur. Take responsibility for your situation and for all events seen as problems. Relinquish the need to defend your point of view.


Thursday: The Law of Intention and Desire
Inherent in every intention and desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment. Make a list of desires. Trust that when things don’t seem to go your way, there is a reason.


Friday: The Law of Detachment
Allow yourself and others the freedom to be who they are. Do not force solutions—allow solutions to spontaneously emerge. Uncertainty is essential, and your path to freedom.


Saturday: The Law of Dharma
Seek your higher Self. Discover your unique talents. Ask yourself how you are best suited to serve humanity. Using your unique talents and serving others brings unlimited bliss and abundance.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daily practice chart:

Sunday: The Law of Pure Potentiality

The source of all creation is pure consciousness . . . pure potentiality seeking expression from the unmanifest to the manifest. And when we realize that our true Self is one of pure potentiality, we align with the power that manifests everything in nature.

I will put the Law of Pure Potentiality into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

a) I will get in touch with the field of pure potentiality by taking time each day to be silent, to just Be. I will also sit alone in silent meditation at least twice a day for approximately 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening.

b) I will take time each day to commune with nature and to silently witness the intelligence within every living thing. I will sit silently and watch a sunset, or listen to the sound of the ocean or a stream, or simply smell the scent of a flower. In the ecstasy of my own silence, and by communing with nature, I will enjoy the life throb of ages, the field of pure potentiality and unbounded creativity.

c) I will practice non-judgment. I will begin my day with the statement, “Today, I shall judge nothing that occurs,” and throughout the day I will remind myself not to judge.

Monday: The Law of Giving and Receiving

The universe operates through dynamic exchange . . . giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe. And in our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.

I will put the Law of Giving and Receiving into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

a) Wherever I go, and whomever I encounter, I will bring them a gift. The gift may be a compliment, a flower, or a prayer. Today, I will give something to everyone I come into contact with, and so I will begin the process of circulating joy, wealth, and affluence in my life and in the lives of others.

b) Today I will gratefully receive all the gifts that life has to offer me. I will receive the gifts of nature: sunlight, the sound of birds singing, spring showers, or the first snow of winter. I will also be open to receiving from others, whether it be in the form of a material gift, money, a compliment, or a prayer.

c) I will make a commitment to keep wealth circulating in my life by giving and receiving life’s most precious gifts: the gifts of caring, affection, appreciation, and love. Each time I meet someone, I will silently wish them happiness, joy, and laughter.
     

Tuesday: The Law of Karma or Cause and Effect

Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind . . . what we sow is what we reap. And when we choose actions that bring happiness and success to others, the fruit of our karma is happiness and success.

I will put the Law of Karma into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

a) Today I will witness the choices I make in each moment. And in the mere witnessing of these choices, I will bring them to my conscious awareness. I will know that the best way to prepare for any moment in the future is to be fully conscious in the present.

b) Whenever I make a choice, I will ask myself two questions: “What are the consequences of this choice that I’m making?” and “Will this choice bring fulfillment and happiness to me and also to those who are affected by this choice?”

c) I will then ask my heart for guidance and be guided by its message of comfort or discomfort. If the choice feels comfortable, I will plunge ahead with abandon. If the choice feels uncomfortable, I will pause and see the consequences of my action with my inner vision. This guidance will enable me to make spontaneously correct choices for myself and for all those around me.   

Wednessday: The Law of Least Effort

Nature’s intelligence functions with effortless ease . . . with carefreeness, harmony, and love. And when we harness the forces of harmony, joy, and love, we create success and good fortune with effortless ease.

I will put the Law of Least Effort into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

a) I will practice Acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.

b) Having accepted things as they are, I will take Responsibility for my situation and for all those events I see as problems. I know that taking responsibility means not blaming anyone or anything for my situation (and this includes myself). I also know that every problem is an opportunity in disguise, and this alertness to opportunities allows me to take this moment and transform it into a greater benefit.

c) Today my awareness will remain established in Defenselessness. I will relinquish the need to defend my point of view, and I will feel no need to persuade others to accept my point of view. I will remain open to all points of view and not be rigidly attached to any one of them.

Thursday: The Law of Intention and Desire

Inherent in every intention and desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment . . . intention and desire in the field of pure potentiality have infinite organizing power. And when we introduce an intention in the fertile ground of pure potentiality, we put this infinite organizing power to work for us.

I will put the Law of Intention and Desire into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

a) I will make a list of all my desires. I will carry this list with me wherever I go. I will look at this list before I go into my silence and meditation. I will look at it before I go to sleep at night. I will look at it when I wake up in the morning.

b) I will release this list of my desires and surrender it to the womb of creation, trusting that when things don’t seem to go my way, there is a reason, and that the cosmic plan has designs for me much grander than even those I have conceived.

c) I will remind myself to practice present-moment awareness in all my actions. I will refuse to allow obstacles to consume and dissipate the quality of my attention in the present moment. I will accept the present as it is, and manifest the future through my deepest, most cherished intentions and desires.

Friday: The Law of Detachment

In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty . . . in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. And in our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.

I will put the Law of Detachment into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

1. Today I will commit myself to detachment. I will allow myself and those around me the freedom to be as they are. I will not rigidly impose my idea of how things should be. I will not force solutions on problems, thereby creating new problems. I will participate in everything with detached involvement.

2. Today I will factor in uncertainty as an essential ingredient of my experience. In my willingness to accept uncertainty, solutions will spontaneously emerge out of the problem, out of the confusion, disorder, and chaos. The more uncertain things seem to be, the more secure I will feel, because uncertainty is my path to freedom. Through the wisdom of uncertainty, I will find my security.

3. I will step into the field of all possibilities and anticipate the excitement that can occur when I remain open to an infinity of choices. When I step into the field of all possibilities, I will experience all the fun, adventure, magic, and mystery of life.

   

Saturday: The Law of Dharma or purpose in life

Everyone has a purpose in life . . . a unique gift or special talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal.

I will put the Law of Dharma into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

1. Today I will lovingly nurture the god or goddess in embryo that lies deep within my soul. I will pay attention to the spirit within me that animates both my body and my mind. I will awaken myself to this deep stillness within my heart. I will carry the consciousness of timeless, eternal Being in the midst of time-bound experience.

2. I will make a list of my unique talents. Then I will list all the things that I love to do while expressing my unique talents. When I express my unique talents and use them in the service of humanity, I lose track of time and create abundance in my life as well as in the lives of others.

3. I will ask myself daily, “How can I serve?” and “How can I help?” The answers to these questions will allow me to help and serve my fellow human beings with love.
