Providing rest and relaxation for the body is as important as it is for the
mind. The body will not relax if the mind is not relaxed; however even when
the body is injured or ill, it is still possible for the mind to relax.
Meditation is an important self-healing component when one is recovering
from physical illness.

The timing and extent of physical relaxation activities depends on your
personal metabolism as well as your professional and family
responsibilities. However it has long been recognised that the most
effective time in the daily cycle for meditation and spiritual development
is in the early morning, before the routine activities of the day begin.
Taking time each morning to meditate, study and understand spiritual
principles and values provides both mental and spiritual nourishment for the
day to come.

Life is designed to throw up obstacles in your path.  For some, there seems
to be a new roadblock round every corner.  But everything and everyone that
appears to stand in your way have come to tell you something about yourself.
Every event is just another scene that signals something you need to
understand within yourself.

You welcome obstacles as a chance to settle, & learn & finish a debt. You do
not ask why, but stay light and fly. What’s in the way ...IS the way !

A Time for Angels

Silence, knowledge & love are cocooning souls and in that silent depth a metamorphosis is taking place. Angels are being created on this planet, earth. Human beings can and do become angels when they have a deep commitment to change & serve.

These angels are not distracted by scenes of violence, or by mastering and conquering their own selfish desires; they turn into light and become universal lighthouses guiding all to the eternal Home of Light - to the Father and Friend and the reality of the golden culture that is being created now. They feel great. In fact anyone who feels this great has discovered not only their own destiny, but also the great destiny of humanity.

SEEKING SILENCE

Tap into the healing power of your own inner silence

 

 

 

 

With Anthony Strano & Gopi Patel

Saturday 9^th June 2012

3pm-5pm

Hosted by Charan Gill MBE

Glasgow Royal Concert Hall

Inner Peace and Silence is the key to the healing of mind, body and soul.

Our modern world generates a cacophony of sound.

This background noise we have become accustomed to ‘masks’ the inner noise we generate - our daily experiences, problems unresolved, neglected relationships, our fears about tomorrow.

By learning to take notice of the present, to be aware of and live in the now, to leave behind dwelling on the past or worries about the future,  we can achieve inner balance, tranquillity and peace. 

Seeking Silence is a helpful guide to taming useless thoughts of past regrets and anxiety about possible future events. 

It  leads us to a calm awareness of all that is happening to the mind and body, whilst not being distracted by events that we cannot change and have no control over.

Let Anthony Strano and Gopi Patel help you realise the profound benefits of silence and discover a deeper understanding of spirituality, through sharing personal experiences of practising active inner silence and providing useful tools to guide you, including:

Reflections: to help you contemplate aspects of silence.

Peaceful Thoughts:  to quieten the mind and experience silence.

Take a Moment Exercises: practical exercises to help you

explore your inner world and expand your awareness.

“Through silence we can transform confusion into clarity,

anxiety into trust, blame into responsibility,

and bitterness into forgiveness...the alchemy of silence is unlimited.”

Spiritual gardening

Knowledge is the seed, awareness is the earth, water is attentiveness and light is the Supreme Soul’s benevolent co-operation. With this method of cultivation, the plant of understanding grows and the flower of virtues spreads its fragrance to all. Then especially powerful fruit emerges, it is given to others – this is a fruit that nourishes not only the self but many others people. Such spiritual gardening is a great joy. There is no better feeling than watching the self plant seeds of knowledge in the self. Through careful cultivation the self blooms an offers the fruit of achievement to others

The Om Shanti current never fails to energise. However, we need to practise it with complete attentiveness. So after a day of activity, having experienced many pauses of a few seconds of silence, we will not feel tired and we will still feel great. Read more

The power of Om Shanti

In meditation, the way to connect to our original peace is by using the thought ‘Om Shanti’. The words signify the consciousness of our eternal state of peace and the awareness of our spiritual identity – they tell us that “ I m a soul and a peaceful one.”  When I accept Om Shanti as a personal reality and concentrate upon it, the original power of peace and serenity is realised. It is like new oxygen entering my mind. It feels great to have such a tranquil mind.

The Om Shanti current never fails to energise. However, we need to practise it with complete attentiveness. So after a day of activity, having experienced many pauses of a few seconds of silence, we will not feel tired and we will still feel great.

The pressure to do rather than be is great. The aim of life becomes working hard in order to produce more and consume more. We push and shove to achieve anything and everything without peace. We have no time to stand and stare and we forget to stop and be quiet. Read more

The antidote to Busy-ness

The pressure to do rather than be is great. The aim of life becomes working hard in order to produce more and consume more. We push and shove to achieve anything and everything without peace. We have no time to stand and stare and we forget to stop and be quiet.

Take seconds of quiet time during the day. Master your thoughts and see clearly the reason why you do things Examining your own motives in this way will enable you to choose a better course of action , or change direction if your motives are not right or appropriate to the situation. When you are no longer simply dragged by the hair of need, desire or greed, you will begin to feel great. You will have started to master yourself and your life
