Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny--he has something to f ulfill, some message has

to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally--you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you . The whole intends to do something through you. ----------------------------------------------------------------In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true. --------------------------------------------------------------Life can only take place in the present moment. If we lose the present moment, w e lose life. -------------------------------------------The angels surround you and walk beside you every step of the way. You're on the fast track to the manifestations of your dreams, so stick to the ideas and acti vities you're involved with now. ----------------------------------------Today I'm feeling so alive and connected to the All of Life. Thank you, birds, f or singing my song. Thank you, Sky, for painting me such a beautiful picture. Th ank you, Wind, for sweetly caressing my skin. Thank you, Earth, for kissing the soles of my feet. Thank you, Universe, for flowing in my favor, always. Thank yo u, Heart, for your every beat to the rhythm of Love. -------------------Gratitude fills my being - my heart and soul - for the wonder of the dawning sun . Another amazing day to live with conscious intention listening to the Angels s ong, and in a pasture of pure beauty! ----------------------"Those whom God has sent unto me, they have my blessing now and forever. So why should you not realize the importance of the spiritual life and happiness? Come with me and realize that all this dream of life will vanish, all this sorrow and strife will disappear like a nightmare." By Paramhansa Yogananda --------------------------------"Meet everybody and every circumstance on the battlefield of life with the coura ge of a hero and the smile of a conqueror." ----------------------------------

Technique for Relaxation by Paramhansa Yogananda: First, close your eyes and expel the breath; switch off the attention and energy from the sense. Feel and mentally watch the heart and circulation. Calm the hea rt by the command of will, as you stop a watch by gently touching its spring. Wi th calmness you can arrest the activities of the entire physical machinery. Then switch on the Life Current in the spine and brain, disconnecting your Life Curr ent from the five sense telephones. Convert your brain into a divine radio, rece iving the Cosmic Sound of AUM.

---------------"First, come into the present. Flash on what s happening with you right now. Be fu lly aware of your body, its energetic quality. Be aware of your thoughts and emo tions. Next, feel your heart, literally placing your hand on your chest if you find tha t helpful. This is a way of accepting yourself just as you are in that moment, a way of saying, 'This is my experience right now, and it s okay.' Then go into the next moment without any agenda." ~Pema Chodron -------------------------There is a difference between wishing for a thing and being ready to receive it. No one is ready for a thing, until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must be belief, not mere hope or wish. Open-mindedness is essential for bel ief. Closed minds do not inspire faith, courage, and belief. Remember, no more e ffort is required to aim high in life, to demand abundance and prosperity, than is required to accept misery and poverty. -Napoleon Hill ---------------------------
