SELF - CONFIDENCE April 11, 2008

 

The word ‘Self - Confidence’ has got a great meaning. When we say lack of ‘Self - Confidence’, it means lack of understanding one’s own Self. And why do we fail to do that is because we don’t know how much power each individual has within himself.

Following is an attempt to understand our real inner -self and how understanding of that helps us build up the Self - Confidence and thus become a Fearless person.

The lack of Self - Confidence within a person implies some obstruction on the 4th Centre ( Anahata / Heart Chakra ). After Self - Realization, when this Heart chakra is enlightened, divine vibrations start flowing through this chakra.

These divine vibrations make you feel strong and make you confident of taking the right decisions. You can take the right decisions because of the wisdom that developes within you with the enlightenment of the 1st Centre ( Mooladhara Chakra ).

GOD CAN BE KNOWN April 10, 2008

 

You don’t have to believe in God in order to experience God. — Deepak Chopra - Ageless Body, Timeless Mind and The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success

According to Chopra, the brain is hardwired to know God. The human nervous system has seven biological responses that correspond to seven levels of divine experience. These are shaped not by any one religion (they are shared by all faiths), but by the brain’s need to take an infinite, chaotic universe and find meaning in it.

How to Know God describes the quest each of us is on, whether we realize it or not. For, as Chopra puts it, “God is our highest instinct to know ourselves.” This book makes a dramatic and enduring contribution to that knowledge.

Quote from Chapter One

“One bald fact stands at the beginning of any search for God. He leaves no footprints in the material world. From the very beginning of religion in the West, it was obvious that God had some kind of presence, known in Hebrew as Shekhinah. Sometimes this word is simply translated as “light” or radiance. Shekhinah formed the halos around angels and the luminous joy in the face of a saint.

It was feminine, even though God, as interpreted in the Judeo-Christian tradition, is masculine. The significant fact about Shekhinah was not its gender, however. Since God is infinite, calling the deity He or She is just a human convention.( *) Much more important was the notion that if God has a presence, that means he can be experienced.

He can be known. This is a huge point, because in every other way God is understood to be invisible and untouchable. And unless some small part of God touches the material world, he will remain inaccessible forever.”

* A note on gender: Finding a pronoun for God is not easy. In keeping with common tradition, this book uses he. But surely God transcends all gender. I could have rotated three different pronouns–he, she, and it–but that would not have gotten any nearer to the truth, and it would have made for very clumsy reading.

WHAT ARE CHAKRAS? April 2, 2008

Science has proven that each cell in our bodies gives off small electromagnetic radio waves, almost imperceptible to all but the most sensitive of equipment. Our body as a whole unifies a complex array of these cells into a living, breathing and thinking organism that is a miracle of nature.

With this is mind, it isn’t much of a leap to consider that these cells, working in tandem, may be capable of something far more advanced than we are aware of. We already know that the heart, lungs and brain are capable of performing unbelievable feats on a daily basis. This is just one example of cells working together towards a common goal.

Many religious texts refer to energy centers distributed throughout different regions of the human body. Often they are nearby major organs or nerve centers in our spine. These energy centers are often referred to as Chakra, a word descended from the Sanskrit word meaning wheel or disc.

Chakras are spinning vortexes of energy and light that greatly affect our well-being, whether we are aware of them or not. It is generally agreed that there are seven major chakras distributed throughout the human body. There are also many more minor energy points known as meridians which play a slightly less important role in your well-being.
