So we are at the dawn of winter, longer nights and colder temperatures. While the other half of the world goes into summer we gracefully walk into winter. Some dread winter, others welcome it but winter is a time when we can take stock of everything in our lives. We can take time to examine the reality we have created and determine if it is as we set out to do.
The 29th of March saw our 3rd Om Healing for the Year in Pretoria. It was very powerful. States of Bliss were on the faces of those present. The next one, scheduled for the 3rd of May should be just as blissful. If you would like to know more or wish to come to our centre in Pretoria you can email me at info@healinghearthands.co.za or go to our website http://www.healinghearthands.co.za/ to see more.
So April is the Month for us to begin to live in the Present with unconditional love. There are two understandings which are very apt for this as they lead into each other.
Karma: So much has been written and said about karma but what does it actually mean and how does it affect us? Karma can best be described as what you make another living being experience you yourself will experience either in this life or another. If you make someone experience grief then you will experience grief. That is why it is so important for us to live in the light with unconditional love towards ourselves and all around us. If we want to experience happiness, pure happiness from the heart, then give that gift to someone else and see what happens.
People often ask me why is ‘Seva’ (charity work / selfless service) so important? The reason is because we are all truly one. Our souls all come from the same place and we all are one. This is why we can feel someone else’s pain or happiness. If you help someone else in need you are actually helping yourself find joy. To ‘experience’ joy, happiness or love give that gift to someone else and you will receive it back. But it must be given from the heart with sincerity. When you give with sincerity, you will receive with sincerity. If you give with no joy, the return will be just a joyless… So where does this lead us?
The second understanding I would like to mention is ‘enlightenment’. This word also has so many understandings and connotations around it that it is very vague and unclear to most of us. When we think of enlightenment we often think of some Indian guy meditating in a cave or under a tree who is ‘enlightened’. But enlightenment is so much more than that. It is the unique realization that we have the ability to reason and thus create our reality. We have the unique ability to reason which allows us to create our own reality.
I was going to write it 50 times so we would remember it but let’s break this down so we can understand it. We have the unique ability to reason. Animals are driven on instinct and yes there always the odd exceptions but generally they cannot reason as we can. Their instincts play a major role in how their realities are shaped. We, as humans, on the other hand have the ability to reason from second to second, moment to moment. Does this mean we are superior to animals? No, it actually means we have a greater responsibility to act with love and care than they do. But this reasoning allows us to create our reality, allows us to create the present. Sometimes the English language is actually funny. Think about the word present which means the current time and a gift. So the present moment is a gift for us to experience. We ourselves wrapped this gift by reasoning the moment before. We are unwrapping our own gifts every moment. Make sure that the gift you open is one of love – you owe it to yourself!! Quit worrying so much about the future and don’t spend so much time reminiscing about the past, stay present and create the reality you want – a reality of happiness and joy!
If we wrap our gift, our ‘present’, with fear or unhappiness what do you think will be the present we will be unwrapping in our reality?
If we wrap that same gift our ‘present with unconditional love and joy think of the present you will be unwrapping…
Live with love and you will be unwrapping a love present in your present.
