Achieving Your Health, Wealth & Happiness By 10-Minutes Daily Thoughtless Awareness.

Your Hidden Strengths. Getting More Faith In Yourself.

Dear Friend,

Don't you just loathe that time of year in your organisation when you have your annual performance review. It's a time to, essentially, justify your existence or at least justify why you deserve a pay rise.

I've sat on both sides of the table and know how it can sometimes be a bit of a charade. One of the few times I've cried laughing was with a close workmate whose targets and achievements I was reviewing.

Trying to act formally with someone who knows you very well can quickly become ridiculous. Unless you take yourself too seriously.

Anyway, as part of the performance review discussion there's usually some focus on what you perceive to be your strengths. This is normally in the context of how you can use this to benefit the organisation.

But what about your strengths that benefit yourself of which you may not be aware.

Joy, focus, creativity, generosity, resourcefulness and courage, are some of the potential strengths existing in everybody. And you can cultivate these in yourself indirectly with your daily kundalini meditation.

That way when you find yourself in any challenging situation, you discover your ability to ride it out which gives you stronger faith in yourself for the next time. More below.

Also below: The sound of a singing voice to lift you up; and, how you can build your spiritual muscles.

This newsletter is on Christmas break for a couple of weeks. We'll be back 8th January 2023. You can read issues you missed here. And 'Your Questions Answered' remains available. Have an enjoyable holiday and don't stop meditating - it's the solution to everything really.

Best wishes

In Tune With Your Spirit - Music Of Kaushiki Chakraborty On Spotify.
Ariana Grande and Mariah Carey may be two of the very few singers who can hit the whistle register, proving that the finest musical instrument is the human voice, but you don't need a singing voice capable of breaking glass, to achieve impressive effects. Kaushiki Chakraborty is one of India's best classical vocalist whose spiritual ballads can touch you in a way that other music can't . Listen to her here...

Spiritual Exercise - Strengthening Your Inner Core (Nabhi & Void).
Doing the 'plank' is a good way of strengthening your core muscles to improve your balance and stability. But that's only the physical side of things. Much more important than that is your inner 'core' which is represented by your Nabhi chakra and Void. When you pay attention to that, it gives you balance and stability with whatever is going on in your life. Here's a mantra meditation workout...

Your Hidden Strengths. Getting More Faith In Yourself.
When you've finished listing what you bring to the table for your organisation, focus on what strengths you can use for yourself. Every time you sit in meditation and your Kundalini rises to your Sahasarara chakra at the crown of your head, the light of Sahasrara is thrown back down on your chakras to enlighten them and manifest your hidden strengths. This is how faith in yourself becomes more solid. Here's how it's done...

Quote of the Week

" For doing anything, you must know that you must have faith in yourself, so that you stand up to it. And every time you’ll be surprised, any waves comes up, you ride over it. Every wave comes up you ride over it. But just feel what powers you have got. These powers are within you already inherent. [Ed. Through Kundalini-awakening] ."

"What's that lovely Indian meditation music you play at the meetings? I always feel cleansed by it. Is any of it available on Spotify?"

Glad it helps you and that you notice the effects. Indian classical music is the original music therapy:

Santoor (dulcimer) settles your stomach and pacifies anxiety. Search for Shivkumar Sharma on Spotify.

Indian Flute (bansuri), makes the vibes flow within you better. Search for Hari Prasad Chaurasia on Spotify.

Tabla (Indian drum), clears your heart of insecurity and fills you with confidence. The tabla is usually an accompanying instrument so is heard along with the other instruments mentioned.

Sitar , frees your mind of clingy thoughts and raises your spirit. Search for Vilayat Khan on Spotify.

Indian classical music is also time-of-day sensitive or has 'moods'(Ragas). This means certain compositions have a deeper effect on you when listened to in the evenings rather than during the day.

Raga Bhairavi is one of my favourites for countering the effects of a busy day or setting you up for a good day ahead.
