Four Techniques to Survive Your day

“FOUR TECHNIQUES TO SURVIVE YOUR DAY” As we well know, modern life is getting ever more packed with work, family, social responsibilities, and more.  One hundred years ago, single-tasking was probably all there was.  We didn’t have a phone ringing just as we were changing lanes on a busy highway or work message alerts going off at home while squeezing shoes on our kids. Working too much and being busy morning till night can take a toll on multiple levels and even amount to a serious health condition down the line.  We say we should therefore re-organize our schedules and decline commitments or additional responsibilities to stay healthy.  We may even go for a career change or move to a town with a slower pace of life. But what if we could accomplish all we are currently committed to–or more–with a genuine smile on our faces and plenty of energy till 10:00 at night? Some of us can’t change our jobs or schedules–or we love what we are doing and don’t wan...

What are Virtues: Baby Steps towards Spirituality

The more you develop your virtues, the stronger your connection to God will become - Master Choa Kok Sui It was the knowledge of good and evil from the forbidden tree in Heaven that resulted in Adam and Eve’s banishment from Paradise but the knowledge of good and evil is probably one of the first things that we are taught as children. We are taught to understand virtues and vices and act according to what is “right” and what is “wrong”. The word “virtue” automatically makes us think of words like “good”, “moral”, “ strength ” and “righteous” and our idea of virtue is primarily developed by social decorum. A virtue is usually defined as behaviour traits in any person that indicate high moral standards.   Building Up Your Character Grand Master Choa Kok Sui emphasized on the need of practising Yama and Niyama (the basics of character-building) for every person engaging in  meditation   and similar spiritual practices. Master Choa Kok Sui explained...

What is Spirituality?

“The Spiritual Path is more complicated than the Amazon.” -Grand Master Choa Kok Sui  If you ask a person whether he or she is a religious person or not, the answer is quite spontaneous (whether it reflects the person’s real level of involvement with his/her religion or whether it is just a socially acceptable answer, is a different matter). However, if you ask the same person whether he/she is a spiritual person, the answer is not quite that “ready-made” and the person would usually give it a moment’s thought before responding. So, what is it about spirituality that gives it this aura of mysticism? What is spirituality?  The meaning of spirituality has been explained in various ways by different gurus. Spirituality might mean different things to different people but these differences are probably superficial. This is sort of like the apparent divorce between science and spirituality. In modern times, however, the hiatus between the physical sciences and th...

Kundalini Energy: Your Sacred Fire

“The purpose of awakening Kundalini energy is to upgrade your physical body and brain” - Grand Master Choa Kok Sui   Kundalini energy is present in every person but remains dormant till about puberty. It is Kundalini energy that provides the required energy that the body needs to initiate and sustain the changes that it undergoes during the teenage years. The location of this sacred  energy   is at the base of the spine. Shiva and Shakti In the philosophy of   Yoga , there is mention of two very powerful energies: Shiva and Shakti. While Shiva is regarded to be a masculine energy, Shakti is feminine. While Shakti is the energy in the physical world, the Shiva energy is related to the spiritual world. Shakti is therefore the manifest tangible counterpart of Shiva. Shiva is formless while Shakti is closely linked with matter. Kundalini energy is a form of energy that works in unison with the Form, the Manifested, and the Physical Body. Spiritual sc...

Incarnation & Reincarnation: Your Soul Changes Clothes Too!

Birth, death and rebirth form the major events in the circle of life and incarnation. Hinduism speaks of two certainties. Firstly, that any individual who has been born, must ultimately die and secondly, that whoever dies, will be reborn, unless freed from the process of incarnation. Why are we here? The question then is why does the  soul  have to go through this cyclical journey? Are there obligations that cannot be dealt with in one lifetime? The answer involves the understanding of another concept: Karma. The literal translation of the Sanskrit word,  karma , is work or duty. Birth presupposes a soul being assigned some particular duty that it has to accomplish through life. Every person has the power to generate both good karma and bad karma. Rebirth can be looked upon as an opportunity provided to the soul for nullifying or equalizing bad karma. After death, the incarnated soul either directly achieves union with its higher soul or does so after a ...

The Spirit: Your True Essence

“Now may the  God   of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.” -1 Thessalonians, 5:23, The Holy Bible   What did St. Paul refer to when he mentioned that every one of us does not only have a body and a  soul , but also a spirit? Master Choa Kok Sui explains that the meaning of spirit here is the divine spark present in every individual. To achieve union with the divine spark or the Divine Father residing within each one of us, we need to pass through the I AM or the higher soul first.  This is also echoed in another verse in the Holy bible: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Master clarifies, in his book, Achieving Oneness with the Higher Soul, that Jesus here was providing specifications about “the way” of the incarnated soul to attaining union with the Divine Father which was through the higher soul....
