A wonderful quote by Ramana Maharishi

20140630-230105-82865280.jpg

Let what comes, come
Let what goes, go
Why do you worry?

Sounds so easy right? What is it that makes us worry? Is it fear, ego, love?
Letting go is the basic lesson for all of us on our Spiritual journeys. Letting go releases stress, worry and calms the mind.

Meditation, chanting, pranayama, walks in nature and just being are some of the methods that really help me letting go.
Another one I do tend to use often is Journaling.

Are there any methods that you could share that work for You?

The Best possible scenario

The Best possible scenario

Have you ever said ok let’s see what can happen in the best case scenario? We so often end up saying – Ok whats the worst that can happen?
Is it something that we hear everyone around us say? Or is it just something ingrained in us?
Does anyone have an answer Why is this?

I think it is now up to all of us to share and teach whoever we can even if it’s just one that instead of looking at the worst case scenario Let’s change our outlook and look at the “Best Case Scenario”
By looking at it this way, we are attracting more positivity to our lives. We are putting all that we no longer need, desire, accept behind us and are ready to tell the universe that positivity in all fields is what we are attracting now 🙂

OM – The beginning of all creation.

Om is an ancient Sanskrit “word” that was first felt by rishis as they meditated. It was more about the essence of Om than the chanting of it. Eventually as the experience was shared the word came forth and people started chanting it to get the experience of it.

“The goal which all the Vedas declare, which all austerities aim at, and which men desire when they lead the life of continence … is Om. This syllable Om is indeed Brahman. Whosoever knows this syllable obtains all that he desires. This is the best support; this is the highest support. Whosoever knows this support is adored in the world of Brahma.”
~ Katha Upanishad I

Om in Daily Life

Although Om symbolizes the most profound concepts of Hindu belief, it is in use daily. The Hindus begin their day or any work or a journey by uttering Om. The sacred symbol is often found at the head of letters, at the beginning of examination papers and so on. Many Hindus, as an expression of spiritual perfection, wear the sign of Om as a pendant. This symbol is enshrined in every Hindu temple premise or in some form or another on family shrines.

CHANTING OM

During meditation, when we chant Om, we create within ourselves a vibration that attunes sympathy with the cosmic vibration and we start thinking universally.Om is also considered the mother of the bija, or “seed” mantras — short, potent sounds that correlate to each chakra and fuel longer chants.

Aum actually consists of four syllables: A, U, M, and the silent syllable.
The first syllable is A, pronounced as a prolonged “awe.” The sound starts at the back of your throat and you stretch it out. You will start feeling your solar plexus and chest vibrating.
The second syllable is U, pronounced as a prolonged “oo,” with the sound gradually rolling forward along your upper palate. You’ll feel your throat vibrate.
The third syllable is M, pronounced as a prolonged “mmmm” with your front teeth gently touching. You will now start to feel the top of your vibrate.
The last syllable is the deep silence of the Infinite. As intelligence rises from the deep silence, you have to merge your chant from the ‘M’ to the deep silence.
