To find reasons to be happy is to increase happiness.

Message for the day 16-05-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
To find reasons to be happy is to increase happiness. 

Projection: When the mind searches for reasons to be sad and sorrowful, even situations with no great significance are seen with a vision of negativity. So there is constantly an expression of words and actions that reflect the need for sympathy and reassurance. On the other hand, when there is the search for happiness, then everything is positive giving happiness.. 

Solution: When I am happy, I start perceiving everything with that vision. It is like wearing coloured glasses. Whatever colour my glasses are, the whole world is coloured with it. Then, I am no longer able to perceive and recognize negativity and I am able to remain happy with everything.

Practical Exercises Of Self Transformation Through The Power Of Meditation (cont.) 

Given below are some more practical points for change through the power of meditation: 

5. Practice being a point, a conscious point of light situated at the centre of the forehead in a second, a minute an hour, after every each hour throughout the day. Pay attention to your facial expressions - am I expressing impatience or irritability? Change that to kindness when you realize that every thought has an impact on the self and others. Write your experience. 

6. Economize on your stock of internal treasures and create more energy by being brief when you speak - then go into silence. Today, every time you speak and act, think: Do I have the Supreme Soul's power in what I'm doing? Write your experience. 

7. The power of meditation is a catalyst for good wishes. It enables me to accumulate all the spiritual treasures and then donate them at the appropriate time. Through meditation, questions are dissolved - experience the feeling of contentment it brings. Apply the brake to any negative or wasteful thoughts: then steer the intellect to positivity. Write your experience.
