The Blessed Life

It is a beautiful gift to my soul when I can commit to spend time sitting in meditation and in prayer.  The time spent to surrender to nothingness brings mental benefits, increased happiness and emotional stability.  It elevates peace of mind and shall decrease anxiety.  The healing effect is enormous. When I chant a mantra or a prayer meditatively, I regain my footing with my soul.  It is the song for my soul and a very personal relationship with the Divine.  I am reconnecting the soul with my life at a higher level. With the chant, the prayer and the meditation, I am recognizing that I am a spiritual being having a human experience.   At this state, I will be able to appreciate all that I have.  My soul shall rejoice. It is the energy in meditation and in chanting prayers that brings a sense of oneness.  The soul understands this exact feeling of tranquillity and how important it wants it.  It is as if, while doing that, the present mo...

It is never a good feeling to live in fear, with fear.  The fear of getting hurt, of losing something or someone, of getting harm, of change or of failure.  The feeling of fear comes from a mindset that a lifestyle is being threatened.  This threat can be physical or emotional.

But, before I can stand on my two feet and gain momentum to find the strength, how can I elimina...

This is a beautiful simple quote with such an amazing deep message.  It will be good that I think of it carefully and take heart.  It is good that I understand it and get to be real with reality.  Buddha says 'The trouble is, you think you have time'.   Indeed, there are many times that I have taken my life for granted.  That I dismiss not to carry out doing things as the mind thinks there will always be tomorrow.  That I ignore to follow my heart and missed the boat.  That I disregard my intuition and lost an opportunity.  That, I think I have forever.  Reality is, I don't. The more I procrastinate, the more that things do not get to complete.  Likely they will be left on the shelves and, a high chance, they get overlooked.  I have to know that opportunities are not things to be waited for, they are something to be pursued and worked on.   My mind, conveniently, forgets that I cannot turn back the hands of time.  I have t...
