Flexibility brings joy.

Projection: Each day we face new situations - nothing remains the same. Joy lies in being flexible and adapt to the situation, whatever it may be. If we don't think too much we are able to experience the pleasure of adjusting ourselves. Where we have a rigid nature, we will not be happy.

Solution: When things change demanding me to adapt and adjust, I need to make sure that I enjoy that too. I need not ask what happened or why it happened, but just enjoy the change which has something new to teach. When I practice in this way, every situation brings joy to me.

Meditation To Experience Being An Impartial Observer



Experience the following thoughts one after the other:
I sit in a relaxed position, letting all tensions dissolve…
I relax my shoulders and neck and breathe deeply several times…
Now I focus all my attention inside and observe what is happening in mind…
I observe, and look carefully…
I see myself in different situations; I can identify the things that affect me most, the dependencies on things and people, the various circumstances in which I see myself involved...
I observe how these external factors influence me and change my state of mind. I lack trust in some people, but with others I can express myself freely. There are many influences in my life…
There are the influences of these external factors…
I separate myself from them and observe my inner qualities; I begin to feel that peace, strength and love are part of my original self…
They are so strong that they cannot be influenced by the changing external factors…
I create positive thoughts about myself…
I am a being independent of external influences, and in my inner self there are many qualities. I feel them…
I enjoy being myself in my original peaceful state…
