Using Your Mental Addictions as a Key to Practice Mindfulness Anywhere and Anytime
We all have mental addictions; it is the self talk that we do all day long unconsciously.
Mindfulness activities help a person to enjoy his life by bringing his mind completely in the present (now) moment, setting a few hours for meditation helps a person to get more control over his thoughts but for a man living in today’s fast moving world it is hard to focus on the present moment or making mindfulness a way of living the life when he is busy in his daily routine.
Our problem is the addictive thought patterns that takes all the space in our mind, for example a person who is driving his car is engaged in thinking about the upcoming project in his office or worrying about his kids in the school, he becomes aware and conscious only when there is a need to slow down or push the brake suddenly.
The more you are able to escape your mental addictions and become aware of what you are doing now, the easier the life gets.
The Rational Thinking Mind
We have a certain set of programming patterns according to which we interpret our world and our rational mind is always engaged in arranging everything in our mind to be in accordance with that particular pattern, these are the mental addictions that we should consciously work on in order to live peacefully.

Don’t Wait for the Right Time-The Law of Attraction Requires Action!
Some people think that the law of attraction is some kind of magic that will drop goodies in their lap, but working with your thoughts and vibrations needs you to take inspired actions.
Using creative visualization, writing your goals and working with your thoughts alone is not enough for the manifestation of your desires, a person has to be ready and aware to act on the inspirations he receives.
In truth, a person who is consistently thinking about a goal can never sit and wait. It is pretty obvious that when you want something with all you heart, you will always be doing something to move towards it, but if you are setting goals that you don’t believe you can achieve then you will be stuck where you are and later you will find thousand reasons to say that the law of attraction is a crap.
Gyan Mudra – A Simple Mudra for Stimulating the Root Chakra
Gyan Mudra, that is also known as “Chin Mudra” is a very common and simple hand posture that is used in many yogic practices to make them more effective.
“Gyan” means wisdom in Sanskrit, so it can also be called as the wisdom mudra.
The prime reason why this particular hand gesture is used for meditation is because it helps one to have lesser thoughts during that time, thus it provides better focus to successfully carry out the process.
You can achieve higher states of meditation with appropriate use of this simple method because when you are less affected by the thoughts in your mind, you can experience altered states of consciousness.
According to ancient yogic teachings, our body is made up of five elements viz. water,fire,air,earth and ether, all the mind and health related problems are born due to the imbalance in these elements. This mudra helps to balance the vayu( air) element in the body.
I used to be very skeptical of this stuff, but with better understanding of this knowledge I realized that even though they are just simple different methods of placing the fingers at various points in your hands, it can prove out to be very beneficial for your health since it stimulates various brain nerves with the pressure applied to certain meridian points.

Prosperity Consciousness and the Piggy Bank Game–Using the Law of Attraction to Attract More Wealth
I have wondered many times after reading self help books that “Okay, the flow of wealth in our lives depends on how we feel about it and our subconscious beliefs about it.A person has to build prosperity consciousness to allow more of it in his life, but how the hell can I feel prosperous at times when I am broke?”
I am sure that you might also have had such thoughts during those difficult times, it feels so stupid to imagine having a lot of money when all that is flashing in your mind is “the bills to be paid”.
There are some real cool law of attraction games given in some books which makes you feel prosperous, but a person cannot even think of looking at them when he is worried about wealth.
When you are completely broke and someone comes to say “use your creative powers to attract money”, you feel like smashing their heads on wall.. Don’t you?..lol
Here, I am going to share my piggy bank game with you which is a very practical way for me to find that place where I can feel “relief” about money, but before going there let me explain you why I do this because when you know “money is meant to be circulated” according to the laws of universe, then hoarding it in a corner of house may seem a little out of whack.

Manifesting Your Desires into Reality-The Universal Law of Receiving
The universal law of receiving is an essential part in the manifestation process which follows the law of supply that we have discussed in the previous post which states that the laws of universe arranges whatever that is needed when a demand arises.
This means that all our wishes are answered at the very moment of asking in the non physical realm(check the realm(check the computer draft and printer example in the previous post to understand this better).
Now, once we accept that the higher power is continuously at work to bring our good to us then we should be focusing towards the ‘receiving’ part.
We have a big force by our side and that is our mind, the only thing that holds us away from where we want to be in our lives is our own inner beliefs. Continue reading
Are You Blindfolding Yourself from Seeing the Good?-The Universal Law of Supply
In a world where it is easy to find miserable individuals with hundreds of dreams that never came true, one can easily come to the conclusion that our life depends on “luck” and we have no control over what the greater power is delivering to us.
This thought that our life is predestined and that we have no control over it is very comfortable to some. With this they usually settle down choosing a terrible life, because believing in one’s own creative power requires courage.
Being a learner and understanding the universal laws not only requires tremendous dedication and determination, but it also is a lifelong process.
Once you take the responsibility and believe “you can get the life that you want” from that moment you are on a journey to unveil a new lesson everyday about the operation of this amazing universe.
The Law of Supply clearly states that no demand could ever exist without the possibility of the supply. The universe never withholds anything that is asked, but the one who has asked should be prepared enough in order to receive it. Continue reading

Though we can always choose to leave conversations with strangers and the ones who does not matter much in our lives, but when it comes to people whom we love we have to listen to them despite knowing that such conversations are not only useless but also harmful for any kind of positive growth.

Indigo Children and Their Characteristics-Highly Intuitive and Spirited Kids
When I opted for Christie Marie Sheldon’s love or above program, I received a few bonus sessions (which I guess are still available) and in one of those sessions Christie talks about Indigo, Crystal and Rainbow Children.
I completely agree with Christie that all kids are equal having some unique gifts and there is not something very special about these kids that differentiates them from the other kids, apart from their ability of having higher intuitive awareness and an unique aura pattern.
Every kid has the ability to learn, develop and become whatever they wish to be, so the labeling that we do here is to just differentiate the specific characteristics of the group of these kids.
So, once I got to know about these kids, I did a little research and here I am going to discuss with you about what I have learned from various sources.
The label “Indigo Children” given to these kids is because of the indigo colored pattern in their aura (the energy field around their body).
These kids are highly intuitive and connected to their spiritual part, it is said that a lot of indigo children were born after 80’s as the result of the shift in the collective consciousness of the planet.
