WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?

WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE? Have you ever asked the question “why do bad things happen to good people?” Or (even more confusingly) “why do good things happen to bad people?” Often we just throw our hands up and say “life’s not fair!”  However, this is an incorrect statement because life indeed  is  fair. We all create our realities using the same rules as everyone else. It’s just that the rules have nothing to do with being good or bad! To understand these rules, the first thing we should keep in mind is that many of us have been raised to believe that good deeds are rewarded and bad deeds are punished. We are programed to believe that if we act as if we are “good,” good things will happen and if we act “bad,” bad things will happen. Now, this type of programming is used to manipulate our actions so that we will behave the way our parents, teachers and governments want us to behave. However, even though our parents, teachers and governments believe

First, Choose A Feather, Then We’ll Tell You Your Hidden Personality Traits Each person has a different personality type. Psychology has tried to classify individual personalities based on certain parameters. Based on the theory of color and shapes, a psychologist believes that choosing one of these six feathers can reveal a lot about your personality. Carefully observe the six feathers. Concentrate on the color and shape and choose that which you like most, or that with which you most identify. Then, read the result of your chosen feather and you’ll see the results are surprising. 1. Feather 1: You’re an imaginative person. You like to improve yourself and you have a strong character which many can misinterpret as bossy. You’re a perfectionist and efficient, however, you feel bad when something doesn’t turn out as you had hoped. 2. Feather 2: You can renew yourself and adapt easily. You learn quickly, but you tend to be a little isolated, given t

An experiment with Pranic Healing, the no-touch, no-drug therapy, being carried out by experts at PONNAR Yoga and Meditation center , a school for special children in Madurai City in Tamilnadu ,India, is fetching encouraging results. The therapy, carried out in 45-minute sessions on all weekdays, has led to significant improvement in the behaviour and mental development of a group of students residing in the city. Their stress level is considerably reduced and they are able to express their needs and feelings in a better way. Pranic Healing, is based on two simple principles that the human body has the power to heal itself and that this process is accelerated by transferring prana or life energy to the area where it is needed. The energy body with its energy centres, also known as chakras, control and energise the internal organs. By treating the energy body and the chakras, a per

Temple treatment for psychiatric illness

Temple treatment for psychiatric illness A six-week stay at a Hindu temple in Tamil Nadu can produce the same improvement in people with severe psychiatric disorders as a month-long course of standard drugs, say researchers in India. A team led by Ramanathan Raguram of the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences in Bangalore studied all 31 people who came for help and stayed at the Muthuswamy temple in Velayuthampalayampudur between June and August 2000. The patients were evaluated by a trained psychiatrist. Six were diagnosed with delusional disorders, 23 with paranoid schizophrenia and two with bipolar disorder. At the end of their stays, their scores on test called the brief psychiatric rating scale had improved by an average of nearly 20 per cent. No specific rituals or ceremonies intended to improve mental health were performed in the temple. The patients attended a simple morning prayer for 15 minutes, and then spent the rest of the day helping out wi

Moving the spine in all four directions A lot of back injuries happen in the earlier hours of the day, when we’re not properly warmed up. Taking time to extend and twist the spine, and strengthening the erector spinae (the muscles that help to support the actions of the spine) aids in preventing injury and can ease chronic back-pain. Waking up the subtle body On a more esoteric level; when our practice activates all seven major chakras, we literally unblock s

Sun, Sea and Yoga – The Best Detox Ever?

Sun, Sea and Yoga – The Best Detox Ever? 1 2 3   Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIn Google+ StumbleUpon Emai Share 801 I know you can do yoga and meditate anywhere, however next to the Pacific Ocean I felt great energy which complimented my practice. I believe the waves bring powerful energy to us from the moon and from deep out to sea.  The waves cleanse my mind, body and soul. Yesterday evening I took my travel   yoga mat   down by the shore at sunset. The molten silver sea complemented the bright pink sky. There was a peaceful energy and everything felt as it should be. The beach was quiet apart from a few surfers, horses and children playing.  I felt I was the only one there. I like to close my eyes when practising alone, but now and again I opened my eyes to see the ocean breathing up to me, whispering peaceful messages, then sinking back.  The prana in the fresh sea air was apparent when practising my pranayama.
