Spiritually good

Hope 2010 got off to a good start for you! My friend shared with me his excitement on making a decent sum of money from the first stock rally of the year. I heartily congratulated him! It is a joy to see friends achieving success.

In the new year, if you want to feel good spiritually, Marie Callas says you can give meditation a test run. I have tried it and its really soothing and effective to improve my spiritual well-being and to relax mind and body. If you feel there is religious stigma, fear not. Meditation is a proven age-old technique that helps you deal with stress, anxiety and depression.

In this busy life, we are so disturbed by noise, negativities and political chaos in this country. So, I encourage you to start a daily habit of calming down and meditating.

Feel the spiritual source of power!

Happy New Year 2010 :)

We are seeing the end of the tunnel that is 2009. In less than 48 hours, we will usher in the new year, a new decade. How do you feel at this moment? Excited, sorrowful, anticipative or retrospective? How do you think you have fared in 2009?

No matter how you did in the past 12 months, the most important thing is your optimism, energy and HEALTH. That's the most important treasure you have. Remember to take care of your health well.

I wish you all the very best in 2010. Yes, the future is highly uncertain to many. Do continue to maintain your positive outlook in life as there's always a solution to your situation.

Happy New Year! ~

Natural Talents

I think everyone has special talents. These are in built in us and come as something natural.

For example, I have a colleague who is good at picking up new languages. Total he knows about 7 or 8 languages, although not at native standard, but has no problem talking to the locals if he travels there. As a result, he is very proud when people ask from him to translate for that is fulfilling his own belief and ability.

I do believe i have some natural talents, just that even at this age, i can't seem to find out what it is. Could it been lost when I was growing up?

Marie Callas tells me talents do not have to be something physically demonstrative. It can be something in your behaviour, like, a strong sense of humour or oratory guild, or charisma that allows you to connect to strangers easily.

Actually, nobody has only one specific gift. If you are a person with a good sense of humour, then you may also be someone who has ease with people, one who makes friends easily with a cheerful and merry outlook. These are talents in their own rights.

Hope you have a good weekend!

Auric Cleansing

Something interesting.

We have a layer of invisible energy that surrounds us called Aura. Ideally the aura should be clear, bright, glowing - with vibrant colours! But it can grow dull when a person is full of negative thoughts, or is down with sickness. That's why there is this spiritual branch called auric cleaning, which the name implies, to rehabilitate or cleanse your "tired" auras so that you can be spiritually healthy once again.

Auric cleansing can be done through many methods. Like seeking professional healers or psychics. In Indian culture, flowers and water are used to remove the bad energy and aura in a person, for example, the belief that water from Ganges can spiritually cleanse you. Gemstones, crystals, herbs, incense and oil are common materials used to cleanse bad auras too.

So, if you are always tired and eating physical ways of perking you up seem not fruitful, maybe you can try healers who do aura healing.

Cultivate a presence of mind

There is a common term here to mean a person lacks the presences of mind. We laugh at our poor friend, "why are you so blur?" to mean this friend does not know what is going on in his or her surrounding, be it a conversation, joke, gravity of a situation or lack of control of own actions.

That's why one of the most important aspect of a cultivated life is to show a presence of mind in everything you come across as that will put yourself in a confident and esteemed self.

Marie Callas espouses clarity of mind when we are dealing with life situations. For example, do not spout unintentional rubbish or rumours from your mouth as that may aggravate a situation or harm someone's reputation. Before answering, think how will your answer affect the outcome. Smart man can answer fast and wise!

Being sensitive to what others feel, widening your perspective will not only help you get through whatever that hinder your happiness, it also helps people to understand their own anomalies, too. I hope you get my point. It won't be easy, but please do your best. :)

Eclectic Tastes

I have always love music. Music is energy to me since I turned 15. It enriches my life when there was no handphones or internet. Radio and cassettes were the primary source of entertainment when I was young and they helped me to get through some toughest moment years back.

Through the year, my tastes have turned eclectic, from bassa nova to jazz/classic, and new age / psychic music. A bit of ethnic music completes the package.

My taste is very eclectic. I like everything from jazz to classical to disco and funk.

I love sharing music with daughters as well. Especially with my youngest girl. I am extremely happy that she likes nearly all of the music I like, so long road trips to Penang are always enjoyable as she will dance in the car. She really likes my disco, which is great because uptempo music helps to keep me alert.

Occasionally, I will dabble a bit into new age meditative music to soothe my restless mind before I sleep. It really builds up some mood in a lovely evening...

Do you have a vision?

It is a common scenario. You are in a situation which you don't enjoy and uncomfortable but it is a necessity you show your face there, all due to pressure from some external person, thing or circumstance? You feel like a victim of the forces acting you on.

In the end, taking responsibility for what seems to come to you then becomes not only necessary to your thinking, but a task that can and will change your life.

The reward for taking responsibility for your feelings and emotions, what you see, and what you think is well worth the effort. This is the key to your Powerful Mind.

You are the creator and the created all at once. The Love of the Universal Mind or Higher Power is in you as you.Do you have a clear understanding of your purpose in life?

Do you have a vision?
