Many of us are now aware of the benefits of meditation & are also putting efforts to spare some time for it daily. Are you finding it difficult to meditate? In RajYoga, we learn to consciously do the right conversation with the self, & remain pure, peaceful, loveful (which is our original nature, regardless of outside situations) while sitting/working/serving. Learn RajYoga - Learn the Art of Living an elevated life in remembrance of God, the Supreme soul! Original Email Received My letter is all about - Meditation when you are in happy & when little sad. - This is because when my mind is upset then I completely surrender to God and this makes my meditation more beautiful. - But when I am in a happy mood or mind then I try to meditate more and more but I can't able to meditate at that dedication. Please answer this... Our Response + Guidance From: Brahma Kumaris Godly University To: Everyone Reading Namaste brother, Meditation means spending quality time with 'myself', speaking gently with 'my' mind in a way such that 'I' feel Stillness, Love & Bliss... To experience this stage I need to calm down the chaos / waste. I need to pay gentle attention to the thoughts that I'm creating, & then slowly & consciously channelizing them in the direction of stillness... Observe this - when your mind is upset, you said you can surrender to God easily. Which means at that time you're consciously deciding to leave all the thoughts behind. This way you're shifting your focus off the problems & then focusing on God. Which is great! This surrendering isn't happening automatically. It is 'you', who is choosing to think only about Him at that time. You successfully put a "full stop" to everything else. The secret lies in the art of channelizing your thoughts in the right direction, which you're doing successfully in this case. Our mind creates thoughts based on the information (Knowledge) it has, & accordingly it feels. We need to cleanse our mind on a daily basis & feed it with only good, pure & powerful information. God's knowledge ( Murli ) that we study at Brahma Kumaris is the most elevated food for the mind. RajYoga, that God Himself is teaching, is the only & easy way to connect directly with Him. We recommend you to do the 7 Day RajYoga course at a nearby Brahma Kumaris center (all Godly services are free for everyone). Once you learn RajYoga Meditation, you'll have amazing self-realization. You'll be able to establish a beautiful relationship with God & have regular conversations directly with Him. Your mind is your property, you're the owner of it! RajYoga teaches us to become the Master of our mind, intellect & senses. No matter how you might be feeling (for an instance - excited / in anxiety), you'll be able to transform it. Some useful knowledge points to churn on while meditating: ☛ You can practice stabilizing yourself in Peace (by silencing the mind, slow down your thinking) for as long as you can. This practice could be done for experiencing all of your Virtues (Love, Bliss, Powers) ☛ Thinking about God ... the Ocean of Peace, the Ocean of Love,... will fill you up with His unlimited treasures! ☛ Any point from today's Murli OR any point from Knowledge (Gyaan) as-s-whole & its relevance to your life. ☛ You can practice 5-swaroop of yours; In your own way, using your own creativity, visualize yourself in the 5 forms. ( 5 swaroop Drill ) ☛ You can practice Swamaan in your own way. ( 7 swamaan abhyaas ) You'll learn to bring newness & creativity to your meditation experience. Make your mind your best friend, love driving it in the direction you want & fly to the stage you love! ✤ VIDEOS ✤ 1. Kya Hum Bhagwan Se Baat Kar Sakte Hai? 2.

Health of the family has always been a major concern for most of us. This is a guidance to a sister who shares regarding her daughters illness and depression, feeling helpless and left alone in times of need. She also wishes to know how to stay strong and not get affected by people's behavior. This is our advise on how to cope up with similar situations, overcome loneliness and find peace. Original Message/Email Received in Aug 2020 Good evening , Om shanti. I am just saddened by so many little things. I have been constantly trying to listen to videos for guidance. Distressed about my daughters health issues , autism , hyperactivity and depression. People around me. My friends have let me down. They have used me. Betrayed me. Hurt me. Completely changed their behavior. I am just so fed up. I wish I was not affected by people. Can you please show me a way for peace. Email Response + Guidance Divine Sister, I would ask you to immediately consult a psychiatrist for your daughter if her situation is serious. Because sometimes when brain is low on certain chemicals such disorders arise and which can be treated with medicines. And moreover along with Medicine, Meditation will work great for her. So ask her to sit in silence and start meditating. You seem to be in a better condition, but still when the mind is weak , we are easily disturbed and affected by someone`s behavior. The solution is to Empower the Mind. How do we do that ? ➤ Answer Mind is like a small child. It has certain needs , demands and cravings too. Now you need to take care of this child with love. Give it what it actually needs but not everything it demands or crave for. Discipline it. So next time whenever your Mind is crying like a child next time tell him with love " No my dear child, they cannot hurt me , it is me who is taking their words seriously" . Also we need to understand that if the appreciation uplifts us their criticism will destroy us. So we should not be attached to someone's perspective about us. And start meditating seriously to gain extraordinary results. Meditation is something that has overtaken this generation as a mandatory routine in the life of most of the people. It is helping the souls around the world to transform themselves into a being of Pure Love, Purity, Bliss and Power. We at the Brahma Kumaris practice Raj Yoga Meditation daily and radiate the vibrations of Peace , Purity and Love for all the worldly souls.

Most of the times, our belief system directs us to understand Relationships by labels, making us Role conscious. Spirituality explains to go by Soul Consciousness, making it easier to have mutual respect and regard for people as they are, a Human BEING. Here is our advise to a brother who wishes to develop a pure Brother-Sister relationship and get rid of the negative thoughts/feelings he gets throughout the day. Original Message/Email Received in Nov 2020 I am having sisterly feelings with one of my female colleagues. I do imagine her face while affirming to our Brother Sister relationship. But I am facing a problem of the insecurity of losing her. While affirming I visualize about us having a pure Brother Sister relationship. But the rest of the day I get negative feelings about her and the relationship. Will having negative feelings impact my affirmation. How to get away with this negative feeling and continue with the positive feeling of the brother sister relationship and make the relationship happen. Please help me to get rid of the negative feeling of losing the person. Email Response + Guidance Divine Brother We believe that you are a beautiful pure soul who is little struggling with emotions and maintaining a 'control' over the thoughts inspired by soul (& created by the mind) Yes. As written, our thoughts are inspired by the nature of the soul (the self/being). The soul whose very nature is beautiful, will definitely inspire beautiful thoughts. Mind is only our 'medium'. Now coming to a specific scene - you have a sisterly feeling with someone who works with you. This suggests that you 'definitely' had a relationship (probably a Sibling-Sibling relationship) with that soul in one of your previous lives. That is the reason why you immediately catch that vibrations and thoughts come immediately when you see a person. Isn't it? For example, if you had a bitter relationship with someone in your previous life, then when you meet that soul in even this birth, you will FEEL that vibrations and that can make you feel uneasy in his/her company. This same is true for a soul with whom you had a 'beautiful' relationship. ✤ SOLUTION ✤ How To Control thoughts? Well. The most you CAN do is to " be conscious " of what thoughts are being created by your mind. When you become "conscious" you simply "command" your mind to think right.
