Staying P O S I T I V E around Negativity.....

"People are often unreasonable illogical and self centered. FORGIVE THEM ANYWAY."

~ Mother Teresa 

It is so easy to fall into the world of negativity! Actually being negative for some people is more comforting than being positive. Why? Because being negative doesn't take strength, however being positive takes practice and STRENGTH!!!

Sometimes we work so hard to be positive and it can be hard to stay positive when negativity knocks on our door, breaking the positive momentum that took so long to build! 

"What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight, BUILD ANYWAY." 

~ Mother Teresa 

When you do come across a negative/critical thinker, think of them as a weak soul lacking strength on working on their thoughts. 

Most people that are negative, lack control and discipline in their lives, hence why they naturally pull others into their pool of negativity, where they have some sort of comfort within. 

How to stay positive around negative energy:  

1. It's not you! It's them!

When a negative/critical thinker tells you that your idea or your work is not reasonable, remember that possibilities are that they most likely think that it's not reasonable or possible for them! 

 Negative people have trouble believing in themselves so it will be hard for them to believe in you.  So don't allow  their words discourage you! 

"The People That Influence you, are the people that believe in You." ~Henry Drummond 

2. It's just not You, It's Everyone! 

Don't take what a critical/negative thinker says to you. Their words of criticism and sarcasm is just not pointed towards you, they throw negativity to everyone around them! 

"If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish motives, BE KIND ANYWAY." 

~ Mother Teresa 

3. Tune Yourself Back In!

Don't let negative energy pull you in a black hole! 

Negativity is very contagious only if you allow it to catch you! When encountering critical/negative thinkers, surround yourself back to positive energy and repeat silently, 

"I Believe in Myself, the Universe is for me,  NO ONE can be against me." 

4. Negative/Critical Thinkers love to Project! 

Next time your at work and your boss tells you what a horrible job you have done on a project, knowing that you've done your 100%. Remind yourself that perhaps your boss is having a rough day and is projecting what a horrible day he or she is having on to your work. Don't let their words of anger affect your work performance, instead work even HARDER!!

"When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over, he does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

5. Positive thinking works! 

Don't ever stop thinking positive even if someone attempts to bring you down! Always feel uplifted! Think Positive, think Big! Anything is possible when you keep yourself tuned in!!!!

 Don't forget Everyone can think Positive but some CHOOSE not to, but you have the strength to be positive and that alone makes you STRONG! 

"If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies, SUCCEED ANYWAY." ~Mother Teresa 

Love. Peace. Harmony.

Letting Go & Moving Forward.

"When the Heart Let's go, The mind conceives something New." ~ Dr. Sania A. 

Sometimes the hardest thing to understand is, why do the people we love the most leave us one day, and sometimes leave with out a warning sign. I strongly believe that each person that walks into our life only comes into our lives to teach us a lesson about life, and once we've learned that lesson its time for that person to leave. Remember leaving is loving and loving is leaving. If people stayed in our lives forever we would never learn how to live on our own, never learn how to walk alone, never learn how to be strong.  So sometimes when a loved one leaves could be a relationship that is over, or a loved one that has passed on,  its them leaving a blessing behind for us.When you finally have the courage to let go of someone, and that is mentally, the energy around you begins to grow in its own miraculous way. 

Think of it as this, a person that you love is gone they've left, they've moved on, why should you sit there and dwell over their absence. Instead grow on the positive memories that they have left behind, grow and learn from it. Letting go can be hard, but being stuck on something that doesn't exist anymore only brings you suffering.

When you let go of someone, that allows room for something else, something new that will have a positive impact in your life since there is nothing bad happening, everything around you is happening for the good. When you learn to let go of something negative in your life everything begins to change around you. People around you receive a different vibe from you, a vibe of liberation within, knowing that "hey that person has more room in their heart", and the universe miraculously begins to work its magic in your favor bringing all the positive things in your direction, but only if you allow it!

Today for 5 minutes, sit in silence , close your eyes and mentally let go of someone that you have lost, or let go of a relationship that wasn't positive and well being for you or even someone you have trouble forgetting about or moving forward from. Picture yourself growing on to something new, allowing the positive things in life to come your way. 

You are in control, don't be a prisoner of your own thoughts and your past, become liberated by letting go of what is holding you back in life. Accept. Breathe. Let go. Move on. 

"When you hold on to nothing, you remain nothing. Let go, where you don't hold to anything. Where only the Universe holds on to you and takes you where you're meant to go."~Dr. Sania A. 

Love. Peace. Harmony.

" LOVE AND COMPASSION ARE NECESSITIES, NOT LUXURIES. WITHOUT THEM, HUMANITY CANNOT SURVIVE." 

~ DALAI LAMA~

Namaste, 

After writing a post on the Art of Now and how to live in the present moment everyday, I just felt the need to write a post on the Art of Love. 

For many people the hardest thing to do is to understand love, to receive love and how to love themselves. We cannot receive love from others if we don't learn how to practice loving ourselves first! When practicing the Art of Love, we send out a vibe to the Universe and to others, where people around you begin to see the love glowing out from your heart and into your soul! The more you practice the Art of Love every day, love will come falling into your lap with effortless ease. 

If love is something that is truly missing in your life, the only way to receive love, is by first beginning to love yourself and then giving out that love to others. What you put out in the Universe is what you receive back. Each word, each thought carries a sound frequency and if you concentrate on making that sound louder within your SELF and letting that sound grow, the Universe listens into that wave of sound and that sound only begins to GROW!

So today lets meditate together and grow on the Vibration of Love!

Today's Mantra is the Supreme Divine of Love: 

"Om Parama Prema Rupaya Namaha." 

Meaning of the Mantra: 

"I give my salutations to the Divine Pure Love. I Welcome it's presence to manifest inside me.

1. Find a comfortable place to sit, placing your palms in your lap. 

2.Close your eyes. 

3. Take a deep breath inhaling from your nose and exhaling slowly out from your nose. 

4. Let go of all your thoughts, and repeat silently in your head, 

"May I always carry Love inside me and never part from love that knows no suffering. 

May I always carry Love inside me and never part from love that knows no suffering. 

May I always carry Love inside me and never part from love that knows no suffering. "

5. Slowly introduce the mantra, "Om Parama Prema Rupaya Namaha." 

*If you cannot pronounce the mantra, with the help of my friends ZenSpiritLight, I have posted a link below with the Vocals of Sudha from her new album "In her Name"  from the ZenSpiritLight YouTube Channel.

May You all Carry Love inside you and never part from love!!!

Everything Around You Is Happening For The Good...

"Whatever belongs to you today, belonged to someone else earlier and shall belong to someone else in the future. Change is the Law of Universe."

~Bhagavad Gita

I cannot emphasize this enough, how it is so important to practice the Art of Now. The more you practice living in the moment and just living for today the more you feel connected with you inner self, more grounded, importantly more peaceful everyday. 

As we hit the month of December and the holidays are just around the corner, I find that a lot of people look back on to the year. What did I achieve this year? What did I not achieve this year? December is a month filled with love and joy, where families and loved ones come together. However for some people it might be a hard time of the year,  where some might feel lonely, or not complete with their inner self. 

Some are waiting for the year to end, waiting for that fresh start, that they can get from the upcoming New Year. Some thinking how much they have to accomplish and what needs to be done for next year and already beginning to worry about the new upcoming year before it even begins! This Holiday Season,  lets not dwell over our past and not worry about the upcoming new year. Try to relax and don't sit there waiting for the year to end, waiting around for the new year so you can have a fresh new beginning. Everyday is a new a start! Every moment, every second counts! There is no beginning of time, there is no end of time. Time was never made to be measured, but yet everyday all we do is measure time. Labeling time as past and future, and then dwelling over it when really there's nothing we can do about it. Dwelling over something that is dead and worrying about something that is unborn.The only thing we have control of is, is today, which will effect how tomorrow will look like and how we will perceive yesterday as.  The only thing we need to do is, is concentrate on the present moment! When you concentrate on the present moment and practice the Art of Now you will see how everything in your life begins to flow with effortless ease. 

If we stopped the concept of measuring time eliminating past and future all we are left with is the Present  Moment, which is the essence of time, "NOW" which is your time! When you live in the present moment you only realize that everything around you is happening for the good. There is no such thing as something bad happening to you, it's your mind's perception of how you interpret the situations that occur in your life. If somewhere through out the year you lost someone, or maybe a relationship didn't work out, or perhaps going through a divorce, remember the Universe is making room for someone better! Loving is leaving and leaving is Loving. Maybe you are upset that you lost your job this year, or didn't get that promotion you wanted, well guess what that promotion wasn't meant for you yet, and losing that job is because, again the Universe is making room for something better for you in which you will thrive higher in. The Bhagavad Gita, The 700 Verse Hindu Scripture states, 

"Whatever happened in the past, it happened for the good; whatever is happening is happening for the good; whatever shall happen in the future, shall happen for the good only. Do not weep for the past, do not worry for the future, concentrate on your present life."

~ Bhagavad Gita ~ 

So this Holiday Season, the only present you should be anticipating on is the Present of Now and Nothing else! 

Love. Peace. Harmony.
