A New Year Means New Opportunity for Change With the Law of Attraction

Last year was a time of struggle and suffering for many people. I know I'm one of them. People lots their jobs, their family, their hope. It was very hard to escape the hardships caused by the crappy economy. The hope I've seen for a change this year is palpable. It would seem people are looking for the sun as a storm dissipates. That's not to say that the dramas and traumas of news events and daily living have necessarily changed. It's to say that my focus on them has lightened up. A Law of Attraction Coach can help you more effectively point out and transform limitation and patterns of low self-worth so you can more quickly attract and manifest your desires.

We all know what you focus your attention on is what the Universe lovingly mirrors back to you. When we focus on something, it's the equivalent of placing an order. "Yes, more of this, please." This truth implies something very important. Most people simply let their minds run on whatever track they're at, but if the world sends you more of what you think, that means you have power. There is no judgement from the Universe what you're thinking or feeling. The Law of Attraction is more like a property of physics rather than a judger in the sky keeping tally on you. 

Keep your finger on the pulse of your chronic thoughts. What is the first thing that goes through your mind after you wake up each day? Take note of the thoughts about yourself or your world that you simply take for fact and believe unquestioningly. "Another day, another rupees" or "What fires do I need to put out today?"

These kinds of thoughts are reactions to stimuli in the environment in which you live. This chronic negativity is not what I call a conscious creation; you aren't making the choice to have these thoughts, they are simply running of their own volition. 

Here are some thoughts you can try choosing when you wake up:

"What can I do today to feel good?"
"I don't have to feel like this, I am in control of who I want to be."
"I want to do something productive today, and feel good about it."

When you remember your ability to choose, choose happiness again every second. We have endless opportunities to do it over, think a better feeling thought. So choose freedom, appreciation and love for yourself. Change everything by consistently choosing happiness this year.

Preventing Child Abuse

The reason why parents hire nannies is to keep watch over their kids while they are away from home. Sadly, the very nannies that parents hire are the ones who commit child abuse to the children, without the parents knowing it. If you notice your child being afraid of going back home right after school or changes in school performance, this may prompt you to something about it. Any display of infantile behavior like thumb-sucking, nail-biting, head-banging, rocking, and other disturbing behaviors which he does not normally do, these are signs that there must be something troubling your child. This may be due to emotional abuse.

Sometimes, parents have to hire a nanny to leave their kids with. To get to know the nanny applicants, they are interviewed, screened, and hired by agencies. Unfortunately, some parents do not have the luxury of time to be with their children and talk to them. Usually, parents are not aware of what is happening to their kids lives. Because of this, most parents do not know that their children are already in pain from an abusive nanny. You will see that there are actually many types of abuse and the most common are emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse and medical abuse.

When you think that your children are being abused, you can talk to them alone and ask them nicely about the day. Any signs of fear or worry are the things you should watch out for. Try to reassure her that you wont tell anyone or that you are there to protect her. Inspect the child for any bruises, burns or perhaps injuries.

If you do not want your child to suffer from the negative consequences of child abuse, do whatever you can to prevent it from happening. To do this, it is not that easy because even family members or people whom you think you can entrust your child to have the possibility of committing this crime.

These days, there is that most important gadget used and that is the nanny cam. This also available online too. There are so many different places that you can put the surveillance cameras such as in the living room, kitchen, within the childs nursery room, playroom, etc. The kind of camera that you can tuck it anywhere in your house, or you can select a nanny cam which can be placed inside a stuffed toy, figurine, or any other home daccor is the wireless camera. Take time to look for the best surveillance camera for your needs because it can absolutely help you look after your child even when you are away from home.

What does "consciousness" mean?

I talk a lot about consciousness in my practice : “living consciously”, “making the unconscious conscious”, “consciously choosing”, and so on. But what does it all really mean?

On one hand, the idea of “consciousness” could seem completely abstract and without any practical implications. This would render the idea, if useless, at least benign. But the idea of “becoming more conscious” could also seem to be just one of the latest of the self-help-yourself-into-being-super-human strategies, which may be good for marketers – “resolve all those nasty human traits in ten seconds a day by applying these three simple tricks of consciousness!”, but I contend that this would be very bad for the rest of us. We don’t need yet another expectation to add to our list, nor do we need yet another thing to guilt ourselves about – “if I were just conscious enough, I’d be able to…”

Rather, with “consciousness” as I use the term, I want to help simplify clients’ lives, to help people be clearer about who they are and what matters to them. “Making the unconscious conscious” is a process through which we learn to go beyond living life as a quasi-unconscious, sometimes fun and sometimes frustrating routine.

It’s amazing how often we fall back into automatic pilot without even realizing it, following routines, following orders, living to the standards of others that we never actually consciously chose for ourselves, and worse, may be contrary to our own. “We” are living each day full of experiences, but to what extent are we consciously experiencing ourselves experiencing our experiences?

And this isn’t just semantics. Think about loving: you know love your friends, but how do you know you love them? Because you share routine experiences together? We share lots of routine moments with people every day at work or on the train for whom we don’t typically feel love. So what makes the difference? You know you love your friends because you experience yourself experiencing your experiences with them. 

Great, but translated to real life? As we become aware of our sense of self as we experience the events of our life (some call this “self” Presence or Witness), we start to wake up to a more present, alive dimension. Becoming a present observer in our life - one who is there to witness, feel and confirm without judgment the experiences that we live - allows us to wake up to ourselves. We pay attention not just to the schedule, but to our experience of planning the schedule. We don’t just look at our face in the mirror, we experience ourselves looking, and we feel present. We no longer take the chatter in our minds for granted; we start listening to it and constructively using it to help us understand what is important to us and what actions reflect our true expression. In essence, we start taking our experience of ourselves seriously. We slow down, we observe, we start to feel life. 

“Why are you alive?” I often ask my clients. Of course, this answer can only be felt as an inner knowingness. When they don’t know or feel confused and unsure, this is often the spark to say: “It’s time to find out!” And I’m here to help shine the light.

Chhath Puja - festival is dedicated to God of Sun

Chhath, also known as Dala Chhath is an important festival celebrated in Bihar and many other parts of India in which setting Sun (dawn) is worshiped .This festival is also celebrated in neighboring areas such as Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Terai areas of Nepal with a little difference. Chhath is also called ‘Suryasasthi’ as it observed after the six days of Diwali, the festival of light.

Chhath Puja takes place during 6th day (Shasthi) lunar fortnight of Kartik month (October last to mid November). The festival lasts for four days. There is also a "Chaiti Chhath" celebrated just after Holi during Chaitra Navratri in the month of Chaitra (March last to mid April).

The festival is observed and celebrated in Bihar since time immemorial with the constant faith that the Sun God fulfils wishes if 'araghya' is offered with complete dedication and devotion.

Chhath is not just a physical attachment to the people of Bihar, infact, it presents in their hearts, and this is why the people bring the festival wherever they have migrated. Nowadays it can be easily seen at the ghats of Yamuna in Delhi and other parts of India indicating its presence across the country.

It is a festival connected with purity, devotion to the Sun God who is considered as the source of life on this earth and is regarded as wish fulfiller.

The festival is celebrated with an aim to express thanks to Sun God for offering energy to earth continuously enabling the environment suitable for the people to live.

In the evening arghya people express their thanks to Sun God for its work in growing their crops during the preceding year and morning arghya is considered as a request for a bountiful crop, peace and prosperity in the year to come.

Devotees assemble at the ghats at rivers and ponds including Ganges and take a holy dip before preparing offerings (Prasad). The main constituent of the offerings are Thekua, which is a wheat based cake.

Offerings are preferably cooked on earthen Chulha (oven). Some traditions are exercised with little difference varying from region to region and across the families with basic similarity.

During the puja, offerings are contained in small, semicircular pans woven out of bamboo strips called soop. Chhath is a Hindu festival but many muslim families also participates in this holy festival.

Legends

In ancient time the festival of Chhath was performed by Draupdi, the wife of “Pandavas” king of Hastinapur (Modern Delhi) during their exile from their kingdom. One day they were visited by 88 thousand wandering hermits (Bhikshuk). According to the Hindu customs guest were treated heartily and offered foods in the reception.

But Pandavas barely enough for themselves and thus were hardly in a position to fulfill their obligation as Grihastha (householders) and offer meals to the visiting hermits. Seeing Pandavas in deep anguish, Draupdi asked for help to noble sage Dhaumya, who pleased upon her the merits of worshiping the Sun God. Draupdi was not only able to solve the immediate problem but her Sun worship helped the Pandavas later gain their lost Kingdom.

International Relevance

 
The tradition of worshiping Sun God, the saviour of the life on earth had also found in the Egypt and Babylon the oldest civilizations of the world.

Etymology

The word CHHATH denotes the number 6 in Hindi and the festival begins on the sixth day of the Hindu lunar month of Kartik, which corresponds to months of October and November in the Gregorian calendar (a week after Diwali). Chhath is the holiest Hindu festival of Bihar and extends to four days.

Day 1:- Nahai Khai (Bath & Eat):- The first day of the puja is known as Nahai Khai (Bath & Eat), the Vrati (devotees) take a bath preferably in sacred river Ganga and bring the holy water to cook offerings (Prasad) at home.

Day 2:- Kharna :– A whole day fast (without water) is observed by the vratis (devotees). The vratis end their fast in the evening after performing puja. Offerings (Prasad) are comprises of Rasiao-kheer (rice delicacy), puris (deep-fried puffs of wheat flour) or chapatti and bananas - are distributed among family, friends and visitors.

Day 3:- Sandhya Arghya (Evening offering):– Devotees observe fast without consuming water. The whole day is spent in preparing puja offerings. All the offerings are kept in tray made up of bamboo. Offerings comprises of Thekua, coconut, banana and other seasonal fruits.

The evening ritual is performed at the banks of river or pond or any clean water body. All the devotees, family, friends and visitors assemble their and the agrahya is offered to the setting Sun. ‘Kosi’ – One of the most charming events during Chhath Puja known as ‘Kosi’ is celebrated at the courtyard of the house after evening offerings. Lightened earthen lamps (diyas) are kept beneath the covering of five sugarcane sticks or 24 sticks (as per local tradition). The same event also takes place at the ghats in the early morning before morning offerings (arghyas).

Day 4:- Bihaniya Arghya (Morning offerings):– This is the last and final event of the auspicious puja, the devotees again with their family, friends and relatives assemble on the bank of river or pond to offer arghyas (offerings) to the rising Sun. After performing arghyas devotees break their fast. Ginger and Sugar are used by devotees to break their fast (as per local tradition).

INDIA: A RISING SUPER POWER

The world over Time news magazine has been accepted as authentic. Very soon it shall complete 100 years of publishing. This magazine by putting forth the gist of international events puts forth a balanced and unbiased viewpoint so as to also give us information regarding the influence of these events in future. Recently on 3rd April 1989 an article was published by it regarding description of India and its main title was “Super India-The Next Military Power). It writes:

In the past few years India has rapidly emerged as such a Super Power that henceforth other Super Powers like Russia, China, USA and France can longer ignore India. India managed to push back Pakistani attack on Siachen Glacier, by entering Sri Lanka it liberated them from terrorism and by douzing the revolution in Maldives it helped reinstate Abdul Gayum government in power. Such leadership acts of Super Power India tell us that no longer can India be ignored by saying it is an underdeveloped backward country. Today on the basis of the capability of its armed forces India is on the 4th spot. First is Russia (5 million), 2nd is China (3.2 million), 3rd is America (2.1 million) troops and 4th is India that possesses highly trained well decorated 1.4 million army men. They say that the main issue is not that based on number might India should be accepted as a Super Power but what is important that in the entire world behind every 6 persons is 1 Indian. India is the world’s largest democracy and in every field be it medical, army, engineering, space travel/technology etc Indians in India or abroad lead due to their brilliant skilful intellect. Despite trying to solve internal problems it has made important progress in the past 2 decades in food grain production, export of materials and self dependence. This is that 1st Super Power who by trying to usher in world peace has obstructed military attacks by other powers that be between themselves.

In the west India has only one image- full of blind beliefs and traditions, over populated and that India which rolls in problems yet in his cover story Mr. Munro writes: From this India one more Super Power is emerging that sequentially while solving problems with the help of its spiritual heritage and talented intellectual energy lest in future becomes a power that leads the world it should not astonish anyone. This must be called divine consciousness and a flow of Lord Mahakal that is ushering in this Era Transformation and with the help of an organized force after getting liberated from political slavery spanning 2000 years again is reinstating India as a Super Power. In the 21st century it will be the leading power of the world.

America’s defense minister John Tower recently in a speech delivered by him in the presence of the American Senate to Associated Press said that very soon we shall witness India rising as a Super Power. While throwing light on the speed of development within industrialization and artistic skills of 3 eastern countries i.e. India, China and Japan he opines that we must not be surprised at all on noting that in the 21st century these 3 nations commence leading the world and inspire all to execute creative tasks. He said that till yesterday those parts of the earth which were colonized they due to their cultural heritage are emerging as Super Powers and even amongst them India is the crest jewel. He also accepted that the root reason why these countries are fast developing is are Indian and Japanese scientists and industrialists residing in USA with whom western talent cannot compete.

America’s leading economist and one making prophecies based on computerized statistics Linden La Roche opines that India from the standpoint of varied types of means is no doubt wealthy but also because of its intensely talented young intellectual class shall definitely be rendered a Super Power in all fields like cultural, financial and material. By stating this time period as between 1995-2005 in an interview with PTI he said that after a political upheaval for a few years radiant Indians oozing with spiritual energy shall first lead Asia and step by step it shall lead the entire world. 

In ‘Newsweek’ magazine dated 12 December 1988 a speech of Henry Kissinger was published wherein he opined that by the end 0f 2000 AD India will emerge as such a Super Power in the international arena wherein it shall shoulder all those world responsibilities that today is being handled by America. Ultimately in entire Middle and East Asia India shall have to be accepted by all as an emerging world leader. He says that in these days despite differences being noted between India and USA yet in the long run these 2 great Super Powers jointly shall carry out creative tasks. Henry Kissinger was a great orator from Harvard University and an ex foreign secretary of America. With reference to international matters he is accepted as a high stature specialist.

Take Control of Your Time

 

Who are you allowing to control your time? Many people I know always feel rushed or always wish they would take time to do things they enjoy but somehow feel pressured to keep themselves busy with things they do not enjoy. Lets start by thinking about how we are using our time and if this is adding to our overall well being. Do you spend time buying things you do not need? Think about all the money spent on personal hygiene. There is a ton of marketing put into making women believe we must get our nails done, must have our hair colored, must use perfume, lotion, shaving cream, face wash, makeup, etc. You can reduce stress by evaluating your To Do lists and just saying wait, is society just telling me I should do this to get me to spend money? Consumerism is a parasitic habitual pattern that we get sucked into without realizing it. We suddenly have no time when we allow our environment to condition us. It seems obvious when we think about it but so few people are bringing it up that it is very easy to get caught up in a buying frenzy that spreads like cancer into your schedule. That buying habit tricks you into believing you need a new outfit for every occasion and you need to continuously buy things to add to your home.

People are most happy when they are helping other people. The brief satisfaction that is derived from a compliment about your "lovely home" or your "new haircut" is no match to the long-term satisfaction derived from spending time thinking about who may need your support or who may need someone to listen to what is going on in their life. When we obsess over physical appearance the result is we attract relationships that are skin deep and usually unhealthy. You will be much happier if you start to realize the part you play in the relationships you are attracting to yourself. If you spend a significant amount of time purchasing products or services to improve your physical appearance, your ego is seeking gratification that you are beautiful and the person who feeds that will most likely step into your life but this type of relationship does not have a strong foundation. When we seek happiness outside of ourselves we are giving away our power. When we are consciously able to take control of our thoughts which will then allow us to control our actions and our TIME we realize that we do not need the compliments or adoration of others to feel complete. We can then attract relationships with people who have similar interests of being an honorable person and making a positive mark in the world. The ability to evaluate how you are spending your time is such a simple concept yet it offers you a much more peaceful existence.

Goals for Life – I have a secret for you!

Here is a common saying – “I can achieve goals for life if I work hard enough.” Do you agree or disagree? Actually, it’s a trick question. Because although it’s true that we are in charge of our destiny and results, it’s equally true that we will only go as far as our feelings, mindset and habits allow.

These set of feelings, beliefs and habits dictate how we “do” goals.

And if our feelings, beliefs and habits are designed to produce mediocre or poor results, then it really doesn't matter how hard we work.

There is a secret psychology to goals. We can begin the process of changing our feelings, beliefs and habits so that we can finally reach our goals. Our feelings, beliefs and habits are almost like a blueprint for our goals.

It’s just like an apartment’s blueprint told a building contractor exactly how to go about creating the apartment, our feelings, beliefs and habits spells out exactly how we “do” goals. 

If these aren't designed for achieving success, we will miss opportunities, sabotage ourselves and watch our work slip away despite our best efforts.

Why can self-made millionaires lose everything and then bounce back as strong as ever? It is because of “The Secret”. What is “The Secret”? It is the law of attraction. This is a natural law that governs the whole order of the universe and of our personal lives through the process of “like attracts like.” For example, if we wake up in the morning and think angry thoughts and feel angry, we will attract back events and circumstances that cause us to feel more anger. Equally, if we think and feel positively in the morning, we will attract back positive happenings and situations.

Of course we all have bad days, but the point here is to form the habit of thinking positively. Everyone is entitled to off days here and there.

Our health, wealth, and happiness can be attracted purely by changing our thoughts and feelings. Our thoughts are like a magnet, whereby they attract thoughts of comparable frequency. What if we could differ from the majority of people in the world today and master the law of attraction and see results from our goals? Well we can.

There is a book called “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne. The thing I like about “The Secret” book is that it comprises insight from current day teachers who have used it to achieve health, wealth, and happiness. They tell their gripping stories of obtaining immense wealth, overcoming problems, and achieving what many would call the impossible. They don’t see things as impossible because the very word says “I’m possible”. That’s how they look at life and how many others who have read it look at this word in a new light.

If we want to improve our goals and achieve our potential, we must change our blueprint. If we don’t, then we will keep creating the same results. That’s a given. “The Secret” is a great place to start changing our blueprint!
