​When people face challenging situations in life, many a times, they wonder- “why me?”. Doing this puts you in a powerless victim mindset. Instead, if you are to consider positive side of that situation and believe me, there is always some positive side, then it will help you to come up with creative ways in which you can resolve that particular situation.

For e.g., let’s say, you lose your job. Now, you may think- how can there be any positive side to this? True, you will feel upset and pressured with respect to your career, particularly if you lost your job without any notice or severance pay. But, at the same time, not having to report into work every single day, gives you lot of free time. You can utilize all this extra time to learn a new skill or take up that activity which you have been meaning to do for a long time! 

When we approach problems in this manner, it not only improves our overall mindset, but it gives us the required mental framework to always see the best in any situation… and a positive-mental makeup is very attractive. For all you know, as you join a new hiking group, you may meet someone who ends up offering you a new job.

We have all heard the adage- “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade”. This is not just a cute phrase.

When we truly understand the wisdom of those words and put it in action, we find that it can bring about a ‘refreshing’ resolution of not only the problematic situation at hand, but also bring about a deep and profound transformation in you. We start to view life not as problems and challenges, but as chances and opportunities… and doing this brings on further goodness!

With today’s busy lifestyle it is very easy to get lost in our long lists of to-do items, to the extent that we forget to even feed our bodies at a proper time, or take time out to exercise, rest or relax!! In our constant strive to win and accomplish, we forget that who we truly are is beyond just our stripes and accolades.

With that said, if you are feeling emotionally burnt-out, then it is a sure sign that you are not taking out proper ‘self-time’- where you can get in touch with your inner-being, ensure that your outer actions are in accordance with your true inner drive and most importantly, you are feeling good and joyful about your life in general.
​
Always ensure that you take out some time each day to focus on not just your physical but also your mental health and wellness…

Photon of Wisdom:  Photon is the smallest unit of light. Similar to light which can show us our path ahead… here are some wise words that are meant to inspire and motivate you with their information, practical usage, and depth of wisdom.

​Hypnosis is a safe method that actually takes place in our daily lives without realization, such as just before sleeping when that tired feeling kicks in. This is known as the alpha-state, which is the first state of hypnosis. Those who do not remember getting home during drive, or have been engaged in an activity with steps that have been forgotten, are involved in a hypnotic state during these occurrences. 

At the beginning of a hypnosis session, the hypnotherapist asks what the patient wants to work on and what the possible causes are. They will then find out what the patients goals are in the session and what they would like the outcome to be. They will talk about current life circumstances and then the hypnosis can begin. 

​The only difference between natural occurring hypnosis and guided hypnosis is that guided hypnosis puts the patient into a much deeper state. The patient is fully aware of what is happening and can hear what is being said, even if the mind tends to drift during the session. 

During hypnosis, the physical body is completely relaxed. The more frequently that hypnosis is practiced results in the deeper levels of relaxation. Those who practice meditation regularly will recognize the feelings of hypnosis and often find it easier to tap into the subconscious. 

Hypnotherapy accesses the subconscious and uses “suggestions”, or words, to alter habits and beliefs. This is often used for negative habits such as smoking, overeating and much more. 

Let’s say that you have a problem with portion control and eat entirely too much. A hypnotherapist will first ask you to explain your childhood. The subconscious is generally formed during the childhood years and are often related to family influences, such as harboring guilt on wasted food and so on. 

When you can relate to an issue and feel that that could be the potential cause, the hypnotherapist will put you under hypnosis and access the subconscious mind to change the habit. If the reason is wasted food, the hypnotherapist will alter the thought to something more positive, such as “getting rid of food is perfectly acceptable” and “I eat as much as I require.”

Hypnosis puts thoughts and images into the subconscious, which the subconscious cannot detect as influenced or fake. The subconscious will take the idea in as a real feeling and start to adapt based on the change. Patients that come out of hypnosis feel as though the change they made is of their own influence and doing because the response is so natural. 

A Zen master named Gisan asked a young student to bring him a pail of water to cool his bath.

The student brought the water and, after cooling the bath, threw on to the ground the little that was left over.

“You dunce!” the master scolded him. “Why didn’t you give the rest of the water to the plants? What right have you to waste even one drop of water in this temple?”
​
The young student attained Zen in that instant. He changed his name to Tekisui, which means a drop of water.

​Photon of Wisdom:  Photon is the smallest unit of light. Similar to light which can show us our path ahead… here are some wise words that are meant to inspire and motivate you with their information, practical usage, and depth of wisdom.

We are approaching a very powerful annular solar eclipse in a few hours. It is particularly potent, given that it is falling on an especially powerful new moon day (Shani Jayanti).  Shani Jayanti is celebrated as the assigned birthday for Lord Saturn. In several mythologies and as per many ancient ways, Lord Saturn is known to mark time- cosmic time as well as our time here on earth... and because of this, he is also the one who dispenses the fruits of our actions!!

This upcoming solar eclipse will bring many profound changes on a personal and global front, and it is important to wisely spend the eclipse time to pray and seek divine guidance.  As always, full, and new moons provide us an enhanced opportunity to connect with the cosmic energies and with it also being an eclipse, the portals to higher dimensions can open up that much more easily for the true seeking heart.

Here is a short, but powerful prayer for this upcoming annular solar eclipse...

Those who are forever watchful, who study themselves day and night, and who wholly strive for nirvana, all their passions pass away.

- Gautama, The Buddha
