21 Days of Peace🕊

Day 4: Peace is Simplicity

I keep my mind clean and clear like flowing water. Moving through life without imposing myself, touching whoever and whatever is in my path, leaving everything:

Softened with gentleness...
Restored with a healing nature...
Refreshed with pure energy...
an acceptance settles within me of my pure relationship with the Divine Guide of Truth...

21 Days of Peace
Day 3: Peace That Creates Trust

Today I affirm a day of peace with deep trust in my inherent qualities. Like the bud, I open up and reveal my full beauty... I open myself to see all the beauty within me, knowing that I have infinite capability to always bloom.

I recognise the cycle therein. I trust that:
I am enough…
I am…

21 Days of Peace
Day 2: Peace That Gives Me Stability

Today, I rejoice in a day of peace, as I stay rooted in my self-respect. I feel the stability of the earth as it cradles and supports me, holding me close and safe.

I experience being:
Grounded…
Stable…
Secure…

21 Days of Peace
Day 1: Peace That Gives Me Strength

Today I celebrate a day of peace as I draw strength from the relationship that
I have with the Source of Divinity, the Truth, the Supreme Being as my Father…

I am an heir to the Qualities of The Divine:
Peace and Purity…
Love and Happiness…
Joy and Wisdom…

This infographic from the Convention on Biological Diversity comprehensively illustrates how nature and climate change affect our mental health.

Reversely, did you know that our consciousness and well-being can also affect the condition of Mother Earth, and that we can serve Nature through our spiritual development and meditation practice?

Let's come together and discuss why and how to nurture a healthy mind for a healthy planet as consciousness and climate are inextricably linked.

A forum co-organized by the UP Manila National Institutes of Health, Brahma Kumaris Philippines, and Tzu Chi Philippines Foundation

BK Bro. Charlie, National Coordinator for the Brahma Kumaris in Australia and Raja Yoga meditator for over 40 years, instructs, "If you're not feeling good, ask yourself, 'What am I remembering?'"

When we keep remembering negative people and situations, we naturally download low-energy vibrations. But if we remember the Almighty God, then we access His/Her loving and sweet energy into us. Anyone can do it! God alone, the Eternal Source, is our real support in this world careening into chaos.

Follow our on Tuesdays and learn how to develop this essential value for life.

‪Spirit-uality = ‬
‪Spirit + (Spirit’s) Quality‬

‪Spirit Qualities:‬
‪1. Knowledge ‬
‪2. Purity‬
‪3. Love‬
‪4. Peace‬
‪5. Happiness ‬
‪6. Bliss‬
‪7. Powers‬

Purity of heart makes our love deep and vast. The ways of expressing love becomes more subtle rather than gross and physical. Purity gives us ability and stability to understand other people at deeper levels and this understanding brings healing.

Remember, that no one or nothing in this world can make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Being happy is a choice. A choice to take care of the mind and the inner self. The first and most important step is understanding the inner self – the spiritual entity.

Simple Happiness Mantras

1. Don’t Wait, Be Happy NOW

2. Be Grateful

3. Stop Complaining, Start Accepting

4. Explore Within

5. Meditate

Silent Reflection – I sit comfortably and gently inhale and exhale. My whole body is relaxed. I reflect on how I can turn what seems to be negative into something positive… I let go of any negative thoughts, lightening the load in my mind… Feeling light inside … I focus my mind on the positive ……. Visualizing the problem…choosing to see it as a challenge… Visualizing any mistakes… seeing them as opportunities to learn… Tuning my mind into a more positive outlook … my day begins to change.

The bottom line is that happiness is a daily decision.

When things look bleak, bring back 𝗛𝗢𝗣𝗘. How?

Find a 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 spot in the bleak situation. When you feel brighter, you’ll bring back hope.

Hope doesn’t sit around ‘𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵’.

Hope is clear eyed, it allows you to recognise opportunities, as well as what's needed to overcome the bleak situation.

Shift from bleak to bright. Feel hopeful and have 𝗛𝗢𝗣𝗘 for a brighter future! 💖🌟

September 1, 2024: Exactly a year ago today, we Raja Yoga students in Quezon City found our "3-square-feet of land" in busy, crowded Cubao. During the past 12 months, our office has become a gateway to more community service and the Lotus House an enclave for our spiritual sustenance. We thank our sweet Abba Father for nurturing us. With every step of courage we took, He walked with us a thousand steps more!

Sweet note: Happy to meet Fr. Sebastian, FM today, a family friend of the Sandico family who cheerily joined us for this photo opp and said, "I am surrounded by angels!" 🥰

Trust your good karma.

When facing challenging or difficult situations, I sometimes feel uncertain about the outcome. In moments of doubt, I learn to rely on the stock of good energy I have accumulated from my past actions. I know that I have walked myself into this situation and I must now walk myself out. I can trust what I have done before as a foundation for my next steps. Everything I have done, generated by a pure intention, has left a trail of positive energy behind me. This trail extends forward as a bridge over difficult circumstances. Today let me trust my good karma.

How to Make Up Your Mind

Self-Manage

There is a huge hole in the heart of all our education. It is where the skills and abilities of self-management should be. No one teaches us how to manage our 👉thoughts, 👉feelings, 👉attitudes and 👉behaviour, so we find it hard to manage the four Rs – ✅relationships, ✅roles, ✅responsibilities and ✅resources. So let’s get started. Consciously choose the quality of your thoughts today – the positive, the negative and up the waste. Everything, which means everything in your life, begins with your thoughts.

There is a huge hole in the heart of all our educations. It is where the skills and abilities of self-management should be. No one teaches us how to manage our thoughts, feelings, attitudes and behaviour, so we find it hard to manage the four Rs – relationships, roles, responsibilities and resources.

So let’s get started. Consciously choose the quality of your thoughts today – accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative and clean up the waste. Everything, which means everything in your life, begins with your thoughts.
