Mantras for Spiritual Healing

The start of my spiritual path, in this life, was not at all pleasant. Although I say that at the age of 17 I started my spiritual journey, I am referring to the conscious effort to learn spiritual teachings and improve myself. At the age of 13, however, a tragedy happened in my life, that forced me to face something that a child should never have to face, a death of a parent.

Although a very personal experience, you should know it.

Every year, on one holiday, many give thanks and appreciate what they have in their life, maybe their family, home-life, job, and much more. On this day, families gather together to spend quality time in harmony. On this day, it is considered the most traveled holiday. On this day, according to the Department of Agriculture, 45 million turkeys are killed to fill the stomachs of Americans. This "special day" is Thanksgiving.

This blog is meant to raise awareness about how many turkeys are killed for a "holi-day" and reasons and benefits to change your holiday. Does a holy day really consist of so much intended murder?

Meditation is commonly practiced for various reasons such as inner peace, self-realization, calmness, or to be connected with the universe through soul. There are many techniques and tools to help a person meditate and relax. Visualization is one of them.

OR, How to Accept Negative People

"Thinking Positive" is only a temporary solution to a constant problem when "dealing" with negative people. I actually cringe at the word "deal" or "handle" because its a negative way of "putting up" with something. As if negative people are a burden. Today, I'd like to share some insight about some reasons people can be negative and ways you can protect yourself from their negativity.

Today, someone called regarding the chakra workshops. I could hear in their voice they were curious about the spiritual path, but I could feel instantly that the person was in the "get enlightenment quick" idea. I answered their initial questions about the chakras, vedas, and 2012, and Acharya Shree's thoughts on them. Suddenly, out of the blue, the person asked, "Are you enlightened?" I humbly said "no" because I am not.

Eagerness for Enlightenment was on this person's mind, but I reminded them that the spiritual path is a gradual process. By reading or learning too many things all at once can make a person allergic to the spiritual path. I shared with this person what Acharya Shree told me on the very first day I met him, "I know your goals for enlightenment, but one step at a time and you will achieve it. Slow and steady wins the race." This blog is about being less extreme and more patient on the path towards enlightenment.
