Love Heals

16/09/13

LOVE HEALS...All disease. For all illnesses, love is the cure. But the thing is, you think love is about finding a relationship or 'The ONE'. The love I speak of is loving everyone and being angry or hateful to none. I mean the love of forgiveness, kindness, compassion, patience, nurturing etc. The love that heals all things gives without expecting back. It is pure and unconditional.

Meditation Experience this Morning WITH A DRILL!

09/08/13

Just as I sat down to meditate in earnest this morning, a pneumatic drill from a workman outside my window started banging away at the tarmac. It was no more than six feet away from my window – closed or not, this sound was so horrific I could not only hear this ugly racket but I could also feel it vibrating the concrete floor as I sat down to pray. What to do? I only have fifteen minutes to meditate before I had to start my busy day. My mind wants to get angry, curse my luck, and even stop meditating for a legitimate reason! But my soul wants to find a solution.

Wisdom and Responsibility

13/07/13

For an adult in whom Wisdom is strong, that person will always holds themselves responsible for everything that they have felt in their life.
For everything that they have felt in the past; and for everything that are feeling now. But most importantly, they will mold in their hands...Everything that they will feel in the future. In one whom Wisdom is weak, that one holds others responsible for everything they have felt in their life. Except that which is good…For that they vociferously take credit for bringing to themselves!

Anger is Blocked Love

07/06/13

The more unconditional love your ego can block, convert into anger, and store in its repugnant reservoir of rage, the more angrier a person you will become. This anger will predominate either internally or externally depending on personality factors. The job of the ego is to convince you that love has “Terms and Conditions” - that in order for you to love people they must fit certain criteria and behave a specific way towards you as noted in the contract you have created with them in your mind (a contract they have not seen, signed, and know nothing of). If they do not adhere to this agreement you have made with the world unbeknown to anyone, the ego tells you that you 'cannot love them' and they cannot really love you!

The Love of a Mother

01/05/13

The love of a mother is beyond comprehension, and only ever felt in a mother herself. It is a selflessness that knows no relent, a forgiveness that needs no repent. The mother's love is food for the human heart; a packed-lunch for the soul while we day-trip from God, our true Home. The Divine Mother of the Universe beats her drum in the earthly mother, making her march blindly towards her children, whatever they do; her love just marches on…There is no way to ever repay this love; other than with respect, good manners, and as much spare time as possible…Even if you tried to repay her, your accounting would fail!

The Eternal Flame

17/04/13

Your peace is the delicate flame dancing atop the candle of your soul....The winds of the ego, with its belittling breeze and troublesome gusts will seek to extinguish the flame of your tranquillity...It is only the hand of wisdom, cupped lightly in-between the ego and the soul that will keep the winds from the flame...

Easter Sunday Message 2013 - Love and Forgiveness

31/03/13

Before Christ was killed, God offered Jesus twelve legions of angels (about 80,000 angels) to destroy those who were to slay him on the cross (And remember they were murdering him because he was saying things like 'God is within you'. Things we say freely now at Chi Kri Yoga!). Imagine you were ripped away from your mother today for believing in the soul (God within) and saying God was your Father (as He is for all our souls). You might be excused for being slightly annoyed! But, upon being offered the power to destroy his persecutors, Christ later turned to God and said, 'Forgive them Lord, for they know not what they do....' And he was hung, stabbed and left to bleed slowly to his death. And in this moment, the world as we know it changed.

Belief

18/03/13

The greatest force of healing is BELIEF. It is also the greatest KILLER. Whatever you believe is happening is your truth. And your TRUTH will direct your path, your experiences and your destination. If you believe you are incapable of defeat, you will go far unscathed. Yet if you believe your life is a mess, it will become hell and worse.

Mother's Day Message

10/03/13

All women are mothers whether they have children or not. All adults are children. What is an adult after all but an old baby?

All women have the greatest potential for nurture, compassion, understanding and caring - whether they have a child yet or not - they can be motherly. What is motherliness? It is the ability to take another who is meek, vulnerable, gentle or suffering under your wing, to protect, 'feed', and tend to that one, with the love of God.

Take Destiny into your Own Hands

27/02/13

Next time you wash your hands look at them afterwards for a moment, these are your hands. Your destiny. What you write, make, carry, type, heal, touch, eat, move, plan, and steer towards can shape your entire future. You have so much choice, opportunity and control.

The Right Way to Faith

22/02/13

Have faith in what God has made you! There is no limit to your capacity, no ceiling to your dreams! Your fears are unfounded and your struggles imaginary! All things will come good if you believe that God does not hide in a far off cloud - but resides in the beating heart that nestles in your chest! That you contain the power that you imagine God to have...but you lack faith in yourself. You question too many things. There are too many signposts and you don't know which way to go! Which is the RIGHT way?

The Request for Restriction

20/12/12

Reincarnation: As strange as it seems, In-between lives in the Astral World, some souls decide to come back to Earth in their next life seemingly disadvantaged in order to help themselves progress spiritually. For example a man who is possessed with the desire of chasing physical beauty to the point of obsession may decide to be born blind - so the samskaras (grooves of thought) and fixation with beauty fades from the ego and karma in that lifetime through a lack of repetition and fulfilment gained through the satiation of visual desires. Or a woman, who keeps creating negative karma through her misuse of money, may request to come to a perpetually poorer environment where she is forced to live within the strictest means and has no chance to abuse wealth - and instead learns the value of simple things like friends and nature.

The 20 Point Plan of Life

14/12/12

Somewhere along the factory line of so called “civilised human beings” we became less concerned with living and more afraid of dying; less able to enjoy having money and more focussed on saving and investing it; and we became less and less able to make changes, and more focused on securing everything - so it always stays the same – and fits the 20 point plan of life.

Indentity and spiritual development

16/11/12

YOU have no identity. Your identity is the sum of Universal and personal creativity, choice (Karma, Samskara, Dharma) and ego (Ahamkara, Jiva). What we really are is ONE FORCE (God) appearing as many individual entities and identities. Once your consciousness has lifted beyond Delusion (Maya) you will see identity as gross, cumbersome and absolutely undesirable. However, the blueprint of your last identity before emancipation into God's realm (Satyaloka) will always remain stored within the Eternal Creative Force (Shakti) and the consciousness of God.

Baby walking and belief!

05/03/12

Don't let the extent of your resources control the magnitude of your DREAM; but let the commitment to your dreams attract the resources you need! As a baby, what evidence did we have to believe we could walk? None. Our little legs didnt work at all! But that didn't stop us dreaming about walking like the others. Do you think a baby with a NEGATIVE attitude : ) would ever manage to walk?

Houston, Whitney. Gone but not forgotten. What does yoga think?

14/02/12

Whitney Houston, great singer, amazing voice... lit up a generation of artists and listeners.... bless her soul. How does yoga view this whole thing? Well, the easy option is to blame her state of mind. But how does one get to a place where they need so many prescription drugs to function? Why does one start taking cocaine, heroin or crack to the level she did? Why did she fall for a man who was patently no good for her!? How could someone SO gifted fall so dramatically from grace? The soul is always trying to LEARN and LOVE. After being recognized as the greatest female voice in decades, where does a soul go from there if its mission is to learn new things and love unconditionally? The ego and the world traps the soul in a set of conditions in this case - Whitney was a "great diva", "legendary singer" etc etc. Even if she wanted to be something else, she couldn't unless her soul was very powerful it would not be able to leverage and manuevre that now legendary position into a NEW place of learning.

Christmas message 2011 - about Family

24/12/11

In this lifetime you only get one family, and as DIFFICULT as the may seem to live with - these are the people that have lived, and would die for you at any given moment. Sometimes we chose not to appreciate it openly, but through our lives these family members have sacrificed, loved and cared for us all without holding ANYTHING back. We may not always SEE the sacrifice and love, but without a doubt it has always been there. Some put it into words, some into actions and others into thoughts and prayers, but it is there. Tell ALL your family members how fortunate you have been to have had each other this lifetime. Make no mistake: One day it will all be over, and one of them will be gone.

Norwegian murders and Amy Winehouse! What a weekend!

25/07/11

I think you'll agree the world is an odd little ball of clay right now...First we have the man in Norway claiming to be anti-multiculturalism, pro-white, anti-Islamic, who decides the best way to demonstrate his love for non-Islamic, white people from his own country is to KILL THEM! This apparently gives him a platform to spread his message of white right-wing supremacy. If it was an attack on the Norwegian government's liberal views then protest, join politics, or make a song! Or if you have to use violence, use it against adults who have made the policies you disagree with! But kids?? What did these kids have to do with it?

Gandhi competition - some interesting entries!

18/06/11

Remember the competition I set about a week ago.... about Gandhiji?Basically I asked on Facebook, here and Twitter....IF GANDHI WERE RE-BORN IN LONDON 30 YEARS AGO, WHAT WOULD HE BE DOING NOW? i.e. what would be concerning him? job? lifestyle? etc... Thanks to everyone who entered, I hope it made you think a little... : ) So I wasn't looking for a history lesson, or a GENERAL answer... I wanted something quite RELEVANT AND SPECIFIC - and to the point. We all know what a great man he was.... but I wanted you to be creative and really think..... London, age 30, this era...how would he be?? Anyway, here are some of the lines that stood out from the answers ... see what you think! One of these people was chosen to WIN! And there's nothing wrong with being a winner is there!
