Tips for Better Life from ISHA YOGA

  • Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile.
  • Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
  • Sleep for 7 hours.
  • Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
  • Play more games.
  • Read more books than you did in 2007.
  • Make time to practice meditation, yoga, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
  • Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
  • Dream more while you are awake.
  • Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
  • Drink plenty of water.
  • Try to make at least three people smile each day.
  • Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
  • Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
  • Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
  • Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
  • Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
  • Smile and laugh more.
  • Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
  • Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
  • You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
  • Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
  • Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about. Don't compare your partner with others.
  • No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
  • Forgive everyone for everything.
  • What other people think of you is none of your business.
  • However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
  • Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
  • Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
  • Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
  • The best is yet to come.
  • No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
  • Do the right thing!
  • Call your family often.
  • Your inner most is always happy. So be happy.
  • Each day give something good to others.
  • Don't over do. Keep your limits.

The Garden Fire

Image
Sundays sometimes make you lazy. You would like to do many things but endup doing nothing.The whole day would be passed without doing anything worthfully. But, ofcourse, trivial works such as cleaning your wardrobe, small repair jobs like, tightening the screws of your cycle seat, lubricating the scooter, door hinges etc. would be carried out without much fuss.

Just setting fire to the material waste had given me so much satisfaction. We have dumped so much of trash in our mind in...

This article is on one of the practices widely used by Indian Brahmins all over using a Holy Grass named Dharbham or Dharbai.In all functions, auspicious or inauspicious, a performing person needs to wear a ring made of this Dharbham. But many have lost the reason of why it is to be used in the first place. What I learnt from my father is proved to be accurately correct by a Medicine Practitioner.

When I told him about the usage and the values, he could not just believe my words. So, he took out a bunch of the Dharbham from me, went straight to the clinic to take an x-ray of his palm, by covering his hand with the Dharbham. To his utter surprise, he found that the grass absorbed about 60% of the radiation! When the so powerful X-ray radiation can be absorbed by the Holy Grass,why can it not absorb the ill radiations spread over the atmosph...
