Visiting Human

We are all visitors on earth and being a guest, we should be mindful about behavior that impacts the host (mother earth).

Most people act as if they are immortal and are going to live forever. They waste their precious time on earth on mundane things.

We should know that our time here is limited on earth and act accordingly to enhance life experiences and live an exuberant life.

Cheers!

Being Bored

Many people are feeling bored at home due to being stuck in their houses due to COVID-19 or otherwise. Please know that if you are an adult, being bored is on you. I hope you would find a challenge to work on instead of doing nothing.

You would have to take on the challenge, take the leap and take some responsibility to find something that might not work.This may include learning new languages, developing cooking skills, preparing for career changes, developing work routine etc..

I’m glad that you are feeling bored and now excited to see what you are going to do about it.

Cheers!

Only Person on Planet

True wants in life

“What would you want in life if you were the only person on this planet”. This could be a very powerful way of thinking about priorities in life instead of chasing materialistic (cars, house, mansions) and non-materialistic goals (name, fame etc..), because someone else has it. If we only get happy by having things that others don’t have, it is not truly happiness, but a sign of sickness.

Be joyful!!

Don’t Think About Monkey

When someone says “I don’t like him/her”. That disliked someone has more impact on our life compared to the person we like or love. Thing about it for a second. What does our mind think more of? the good things that happens to us all day long or one bad thing for that day. Bad things have far more influence on us. When you are told by someone or even by yourself to not think about something (example could be money, being fat, broken relationship, monkey etc..), our monkey mind can’t help but think of the unwanted things.

Next time, before categorizing something good or bad, think twice about the disproportional impact of bad.

Life Ingredients

Life is a game of just five ingredients. Even a pizza requires more ingredients. In yoga, both the human body and the cosmos are based on the magic of only five elements: earth, water, fire, air and ether.

Many people who attained self-realization have often termed life a cosmic joke due to this utterly simplistic ingredient.

Keep life simple.

Cheers!

Vipassana

Benefits of Meditation are quite apparent in COVID-19 days as people lacking internal calm and not in harmony with their mind and body are struggling with anxiety, loneliness and stress. Being a Vipassana practitioner, I am reaping the benefits of this wonderful meditation technique and recommend to people who are seriously thinking about getting into meditation. Currently, most Vipsassana centers around the world are closed, but below is quick summary on where to start.

Keep Calm and Meditate

First: What is Vipassana ?

Vipassana means to see things as they really are and is one of India’s most ancient techniques of meditation pioneered by Buddha and others.This is self observance technique focusing on breathing and body sensation.

Learn more literature @ https://www.dhamma.org/

Second: What is not Vipassana ?

  • Not affiliated to any religion
  • No chanting of mantras or anything during practice/learning

So, how can you start?

Below is a step-by-step guide for those who are interested in practicing Vipassana::

  1. Find a nearest Dhamma Centre
  2. Find a course with availability for 10-day courses (new students only)
  3. Apply to reserve your seat
  4. Get Confirmation
  5. Have a cheerful life 🙂

Cheers!
