Gifts Come When You Least Expect Them, But Need Them The Most
Back in 1951, I was at the Self Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine near Brentwood, California. I spent much of my time there practicing Kriya Yoga and just meditating near the windmill. To me, it was (and still is) the most peaceful place on Earth.
But on this particular day, I was disturbed for some reason. And although I can't recall why, I know I must have been sending out some really negative vibrations because my friend, Cheslo, picked up on my unease.
"How can you meditate when your mind is filled with butterflies?" he asked me. I just shrugged.
"Use the Bagha," he said.
"The what?"
"Bagha Yoga. You know. Haven't you been taught the Bagha?"
I shook my head. I had no idea what he was referring to.
Little did I know that the Bagha would change my life and in just a second, I'm going to share this wonderful secret with you. But first, let's clarify something that everyone in the West needs to understand: There Is No Such Thing As Luck.
Now, I know what you're saying, "Oh yes there is... some people I know are very lucky. The right job, the right house... everything just seems to fall into their lap." And I understand why you might think that way. It does seem like luck is everything. I mean, when it rains it pours, doesn't it?
Everyday, millions of people greet the day with hopes of a brighter future but find that no matter what they do, they just can't seem to get ahead. We work harder, we work longer, but it seems we were just destined to struggle.
And yet, there are those who seem to attract good luck no matter where they go. Things "just happen" to them. It's as if they're in the right place at the right time ALL THE TIME.
How Do "Lucky" People Do It?
Contrary to popular belief, you didn't come into this world alone and unarmed. Inside you lies a powerful tool that can turn every dream into reality. This inner consciousness is a direct connection to the source itself, your roadmap to personal and spiritual success.
To utilize this roadmap, you need only to tap into your spiritual core—that part of you that you refer to as "I." This is your spiritual Self, your metaphysical center that allows you to create your life as you see it.
The easiest (and most effective) way to tap into your inner consciousness is through meditation. But before you can master meditation, you're going to have to learn to manage your stress.
Hot is the opposite of Cold. Dark is the opposite of Light. And Stress is the opposite of the state of mind that we call "Meditation."
Stress is nothing more than our reaction to change. Any change in our lives, whether it be good or bad, will cause some level of stress.
Psychologists have listed hundreds of stress-causing events, each with their own ranking that measures the amount of turmoil the stressor can cause. Death of a loved one and the loss of a job rank right at the top for example, while a flat tire or spilling your drink would rank much lower. But regardless of the ranking, stress accumulates and can take a serious toll on our well-being. * Stress can cause headaches, nausea, psychological problems and even heart-attacks. * Stress lowers our white blood cell count, making us more susceptible to disease and illness. * Stress can cause hyperventilation and respiratory problems. * Stress can cause a variety of digestive issues, including constipation, indigestion and ulcers.
No Wonder We're So Ill.
Of course, everyone responds to stress differently, but you can be sure that extreme stress lasting for extended periods of time will eventually wreak havoc on your body.
So, How Can You Avoid It?
