behind every joy and ecstacy...


The result of any struggle is always a feeling of joy and ecstasy. Life will be a dull and boring game if there are no challenges to face. Just imagine if there is no opponent in a game of football! Will the players get excited if they score a goal? Or if the opponent team is a weak team, will the winning be exciting?
If things are offered to us in a platter, we will not enjoy the same. 
The irony is that want to be glorious, but we don't like the fight! But if we stop and think for a while, struggles are the testing ground to be our very best. Have you heard of the story of a man took pity on a butterfly trying to come out of its cocoon and cut opened the cocoon so that the butterfly came out without the final struggle? The man waited for the butterfly to take its first fight of freedom. But the butterfly had awithered body and shrivelled wings. It never was able to fly! The man did not know that the strugle the butterfly undergoes is the God's design to secrete coating from the body of the butterfly so that the wings will be stronger. Since the butterfly did not go through this process, the butterfly never had a strong wings to fly and was crawling for the rest of its life!
We need struggles and crisis to make us stronger and more efficient. A ship is tested on the high sea and not on the safe waters of a harbour!
Over this weekend perhaps you can do an exercise. List all the struggles you have undergone and think for a while if you would have enjoyed the success if there had been no crisis!

Be like a Bee

Have you ever paid attention to how a honey bee operates? How focused and determined that bee is to do its fair share of the work? How it does its leadership part to make sure that everyone else is having enough food, and shelter?
When you’re placed in a leadership role or you are pursing a leadership role do you sacrifice a lot to get to where you would like to be? Do you change your atmosphere,attitude, language, and behavior to fit the part? Think about it.
Bee’s are some of the best leaders in the world. They understand their roles from birth on what they should contribute to the hive to make sure themselves and their community is safe from harms way. They know that they will protect their queen from any harm that might come their way and will work endless hours until their job is complete and move onto the next task without having to be told to. They communicate with their team members on which flowers they have already been at and which areas they would like to target next.
They understand that if they don’t get their part of the job done then its going to weight heavy on the community to pick up their slack. Being lazy or procrastination is not apart of a bee’s lifestyle.
Now, I know I just threw a unique perspective at you about how bee’s operate in my perspective. No, I am not a bee expert but an observer. We all like to be leaders in organizations and companies that we are apart of. We try and educate ourselves in various industries to become masters (degree) in our fields of choices.
But, it seems that it gets to a point where sometimes the lazy inner person shows up more then what is necessary. The sacrifice to start a company, begin a new career, collect various degrees does not happen as seriously as it should be. Slacking and making excuses seems to be the normal rather then focus and determination being your best friends. We can praise and shout that we are changing the world by our consistent outspoken ways and life changing social media era but if we don’t take the time to step up and step out we won’t see no such change.
Operating our lives as hunny bees with working effectively and productively is what is going to assist us in completing our goals in life. When was the last time that you actually completed a series of goals on time? If it takes you longer then 8 minutes to answer that question then you should understand that you need to focus more on self development and preparation.
Now, this is not a blog post to bash our lovely smooth sailing life what we think but to be honest about what were trying to do. Over the course of this year I have taken the chance of teaching myself new strategies and skills to become a better leader. Leadership is going to be your best asset in trying to be apart of any company or to start a company. As a generation we have to take the chance to invest in ourselves a lot more then what we have been by studying books, courses, attending seminars and being involved.
Sometimes putting in those countless hours of preparation to develop your first product will have to be your main priority and you might lose some friends because of that. But, you have to understand what you’re trying to reach at in life.
A bee will always work hard every day until the job is completed. You need to place yourself in “bee mode” at times to make sure that long list of things to do is getting completed on time :)

Sane living

Alexander the great, went about conquering the world. He killed many and had several victories to his name. Eventually he died of a mosquito bite, while dying he asked his generals to lay out the arms of his dead body to show people around that he was carrying nothing with him. In his death bed, Alexander understood the futility of leading a life devoted to the pursuit of achievements.

Competing and striving for better status is what a rat race is all about. How wise is this way of living? There is succinct sutra in the Hindu scriptures – “we come empty handed and we leave empty handed, why do you struggle so much in the interim”. There is a stark truth in this pithy saying.

Remember that the point is not to give up on life, but to stop living it insanely. No one is asking you to denounce everything and go to the jungles or caves. You can function beautifully in the society without struggling or suffering its conditioning.

Many people are becoming more and more aware of the foolishness of indulging this rat race of existence. That’s all it takes. You just need to see the insanity to step out of it. Here are few simple truths of life that can help you get out of the rat race mentality.

Your mind conditioning is running you – A person who blindly involves himself in a rat race for success and achievement, is just living his conditioning. May be he/she was criticized as a child and felt the need to prove his/her worth to the society. This is just negative conditioning and it’s silly to the core. When you know that your programming was dysfunctional, you can easily step out of it. You are not your conditioning when you live consciously.

All is one eventually – This is not a spiritual concept. You can easily see the truth of life is “oneness”. Everything came out of one source into existence. We can call it the big bang or anything else to suit our intellectual needs, but the fact is that everything is that one source manifested as form. So when everything is the one, why are we trying to out do each other? When Jesus said – “Love thy neighbor as thyself”, he was pointing to the simple truth that everything is one, when you hate or resent someone you are eventually hating yourself. When you understand this you will immediately get out of the rat race.

Nothing matters in the end – The Alexander story proves it, you can also look at the lives of other famous men or women of our times. Do they really carry their achievements with them once their tenure on earth is terminated? Even the most stable and concrete structure eventually falls down and becomes dust. Why do you associate so much importance to material achievements? With time everything comes to an end, how ever immortal it may seem. Relationships, careers, popularity, all of this comes to end sooner or later. Enjoy what life gives you but stop struggling and suffering for it.

The future is not going to liberate you – Are you seeking your happiness in your future while suffering in the present moment? If you look closely does it not look insane to do so. The future is just a mind projection, a phantom image which has no reality. When it does come it will come as the present moment. Since you are always looking at the future for salvation, you will never be happy in the present no matter what it brings you. True happiness comes from within and not from acquiring this or that, everything else is just fleeting. With a rat race mentality, you will be happy for a moment when you achieve something and immediately start worrying about the next achievement.

Nothing you achieve will bring contentment – Have you not noticed this to be true in your life so far? You constantly strain and suffer to get ahead of the “mind created” competition, but to what avail? As soon as you achieve one thing you will strive for the next. Your life will be an endless struggle till you finally lay down for your last rites. What an utter waste of a life time? Contentment comes when you see that everything is pointless and the only thing that matters is your present moment enjoyment of what life gives you.

You don’t feel fulfilled because you don’t know your true self – Your true nature is peace. This is the call of spirituality all over the world. The mind conditioning is not your true nature, it’s just a bunch of ideas and thoughts that make you indulge in a rat race. You are afraid of the future because you seek your identity through it. Your essence or true nature is that of stillness, it’s a simple awareness of all that is. The only place where you can find your true nature is in the present moment awareness, when you mind stops churning out so much noise and fear.

Escaping the rat race is the first step to sane living. Focus on what you have rather than what you want to achieve. Continue with your duties and work but don’t seek yourself through them. There is a peace and joy to life when you are not constantly worried about the next thing to achieve.

Choice is yours!

Three possibilities exist:

1) all is pure chance, leaving no ground or reason for anything - ethics, compassion...... (Science).
2) an all-powerful being,. a 'creator God', arbitrarily blessing or dooming for life and for eternity according to his whims.....the proverbial clay being turned into pots for noble or menial use. (Orthodox monotheistic religion)
3) that each is the fashioner of his own destiny, leaving no room for blame onto any 'God' , not even onto chance. (Justice and common sense)

Choice is yours.

Quantum healing

Quantum Healing is a term used to describe healing practices that utilize the principles of Quantum Theory and Quantum Mechanics.

Quantum theory states that when the Mind observes a set of circumstances or phenomena, it has an impact on the outcome ("the observer effect"). The impact the Mind will have upon the outcome will be determined by the state of Mind of the observer.

In Quantum Healing, the Mind is the primary instrument used to heal the body. The Mind of the "healer" (yourself or another) must be in a "healthy" state if it is to have a healing effect on the body.

Illness or disease in the human body is almost always caused by this thing we call "stress". But what is stress?

There are many definitions for stress, but for our purposes here I prefer this one, "Stress occurs when our beliefs, or what we think is true, are in conflict with what we know to be true in our own Heart."

When the Mind is in a state of stress (false or inaccurate beliefs) it will have a negative impact upon the body. This can create illness or disease.

When the Mind is in a state of appreciation and well being, it will have a positive effect upon the body and can result in healing.

Knowing how to create a healthy state of Mind is the only secret you need to know to effectively use Quantum Healing in your own life.

Identifying false fear-based beliefs and replacing them with Love-based Truth from the Heart will create a healthy Mind. When a healthy, peaceful, appreciative Mind observes an illness or disease in the body it will have a healing effect upon that condition or disease.

This is the observer effect in action, and can account for so-called "miracle cures", energy healing, spiritual healing, and even the placebo effect.

Magnetise energy to your life

Like Attracts Like
If you had magnets stuck all over you, you would expect some things to stick to you, others to leap away and still more to show no reaction.

In a sense this is what happens in life. You unconsciously transmit your energy.

Some of your qualities are magnetic and others repellent.

You have drawn towards you everything and everyone who is in your life. Other things and people you have repelled. Many situations have no magnetic pull towards you.

A radio transmitter broadcasts on a particular frequency. Anyone interested in a programme going out on that waveband tunes in.

You are the transmitter.

You broadcast the play of your life. You send out into the ether the story of your patterns, emotional energy, mindsets, denials, likes and dislikes and much more.


Imagine you want to find an interesting programme. There are hundreds to tune into and you are flicking through the channels trying to decide which one to listen to. Most of them you tune out immediately. Now and again one will catch your attention. It may be heavy, funny, boring or interesting, violent or peaceful. You may like some aspects but be repelled by others.

Nevertheless, you are hooked in.

In the same way we attract people to us. People who do not resonate on our frequency simply are not attracted to us. They just pass by.

The vibration you emit is made up of your conscious and unconscious energy, some repellent, some magnetic, some neutral.

The underlying law is; Like attracts Like. We attract into our lives people and situations that have similar vibrations to our own.

•Negative qualities such as neediness, desperation, depression, greed, unkindness or thoughtlessness transmit on a low frequency. If we have elements of these in our nature, we will magnetise someone with similar energy into our life.

•Qualities such as love, kindness, happiness, delight or generosity transmit a high-frequency energy and also magnetise people with similar energy.


As We Develop Spiritually Awareness We Realise That The Universe provides mirrors for us to look into.


Look around you and note the characters around you. They are taking part in the play of your life for a reason.

The more vehemently we deny that we are magnets for a particular type of person or situation, the more our Higher Self is asking us to look at our shadow.

If you feel ready to commit to a relationship but your partner will not do so, look within at your own fear of commitment. He or she simply would not be there if you were one hundred percent sure. The moment you resolve your underlying belief, the other person will either commit to you or leave your life and allow someone who can commit to enter.

The person who is always cheerful and happy but seems to be surrounded by depressed people has attracted them to mirror their inner unhappiness. They serve a purpose, possibly to make them feel needed.

Our underlying beliefs attract situations and people to us. If you have a belief that you are not deserving, you will attract people into your life who mirror that belief back to you by treating you badly.


The Law Of Attraction works on many levels.

•If you are out of harmony with life you may attract food which disagrees with you.
•If you think self critical thoughts you are taking little swipes at yourself.
•If you are burying rage, you may draw in attack, physically, emotionally or even psychically.


These things may of course be a return of Karma, which is the unevitable balancing of right and wrong over lifetimes.

Whenever you do something because you feel you should or ought to, then you are in bondage. You will attract situations and people that keep you in bondage.

If, on the other hand, you are sending out positive energy, you will attract help when you need it.

If you think negative thoughts, you attract negative situations and people. Whenever something is not materialising as you expect, examine your underlying feelings and change them. Then magnetise what you want.

The inner attracts the outer.

•If something in your outer world is not what you want it to be, look inside and shift how you feel about yourself. You will then automatically attract people and experiences to you.

•Do not send out negative energy and wait for a disaster to be magnetised towards you. Send out positive light and wait for a miracle to be drawn towards you.


You are a magnet. You attract like you.
