Our friend Su had a viral infection and in the last days she had pain, the body was aching and her head was aching, too. She was in bed and resting for some days. Yesterday I was sitting next to her and we talked a little bit about illness and the times when you are not really healthy. And with this talk we decided that from that moment on we would only celebrate, no matter what headache or pain is there.
This is also how I am when I am in pain. My body is hurting but I smile. I talk with people and laugh with them and don’t let the pain spoil my mood. I always say that you should let your emotions flow and I still say that. But you don’t need to cry. It will not help and it will only make you weaker. It takes your strength whereas laughing with others and being in a good mood gives you strength to go on and to fight the disease.
Just see that it is how it is and you can only make the best out of it. And you know what, it helps! Don’t think of yourself as being miserable and don’t think that you would rather do this or rather be there instead of being in bed. Laugh, smile, think of something positive. Find something to celebrate.

If you imagine that body and soul are connected, isn't it logical that these two parts need to be in a harmony with each other? How can your body be healthy if your soul is suffering? And how can your soul feel be free in a sick body?

It's very true that a positive attitude helps the immune system. Thinking uplifting thoughts about your body's health and strength encourage the healing process. But I also think there's nothing wrong with a good cry. It feels really good to cry and get your emotions out! After this emotional pain has been released, it's easier to think positively and feel clear.

It is amazing how acceptance can heal the body. It isn't magic. It is very simple. Every thing you do, feel and think costs calories...This is measurable.

When you are sick the energy you get from eating can be used to help heal your body or can drain your body even more. If you feel happy and non resistant to your illness your body can work to heal itself!

Yes, so important to let illness or whatever ails to simply be, to allow for it as a process of purification on every level of our being...and so to rejoice that the past causes giving rise to the current condition are being exhausted...

Maybe this time, which we are experiencing now, will later be called ‘Digital Bhakti Kal’, a time of devotion through digital media. Applications and programs will be interactive scriptures that judge your spiritual progress. There will be an option to pay some money and get access to higher levels and ranks straight away. It will be expensive but those who have the money can get online enlightenment from one second to the other simply via credit card.

SourceBelievers cheat themselves by thinking god created everything bad for a reason.
SourceThere are two kinds of animals: carnivores, like lions and tigers which eat meat and herbivores, like cows and horses which eat plants. Our whole body structure, our metabolism and our jaw are more similar to that of cows than of tigers. Our teeth are perfect for grinding grains and vegetables and not for tearing apart animal flesh.

SourceHonour is something related to your dignity, to a straight and honest way of living and not related only to your sexuality. Why would a woman be dishonoured if she had sex with the one she loves even if they are not married?
SourceIf children have respect for their parents, it keeps them from doing very big mistakes which they could then not confess to their parents. Due to their respect they stop before.
SourceBeauty shines from within - not through Make-up.
SourceAct with the knowledge of what happened in the past and with an idea of what you want to achieve but be in presence, be here and now.
SourceIf you are in love with God, you don’t have to ‘do’ meditation, it takes place itself. You are in love without doing any ritual. You also don’t need to do rituals to please your God, he will feel your love in every moment. There is no need of any special prayer, any certain Mantra if you are in love with God.
SourceSexual desire is natural in a healthy body and mind. Not having sexual interest is a sign that something is not right.
SourceYou don’t need a church or temple to pray and get in touch with god.
SourceLove is nothing to show off but it is still something to show to the one you love. Isn’t it beautiful to say or be told ‘I love you’?
