God is in everything

Good morning friends.  It’s a very good morning to me as everything said, God is everywhere,  God is in everything.  I was reading an article of an actress and how she believed that God is really in everything.  Let me share it with you as it is a good one. 

Actress Eisha Koppikar believes God is in everything!  

You find God in…

“For me, my parents are true manifestations of Him. God is everywhere — in nature, in human beings, in animals. Once you feel connected with God, you begin to enjoy life. I can feel God all around me in everything that I do, everywhere I go and within myself.”

How do you connect to God?

“I feel connected with God on a one-to-one level. If I need something or have any doubts, I talk to God! Our conscience or the inner voice is God keeping us on the right path.”

Karma & kismat to you are…

“I believe in kismat and that one has the power to change it. Destiny is always in our own hands. I believe good thoughts lead to good habits, which lead to good actions. These actions, when directed well, lead to good intentions, which make you who you are and that leads to one’s destiny. I believe in karma. My dad always says, ‘Put your best in everything that you do and don’t worry about the results’. Our experiences are also based on our past-life karma. We must try to correct our wrongs and approach life positively. Karma and kismat are closely interlinked.”

True contentment lies in…

“I am no spiritual guru and am still trying to get there. Knowing you are happy can amplify your happiness. Once you notice that something is pleasurable, you can increase your happiness by savouring the experience. Whether it’s appreciating a particular moment, the beauty of a rose, a job well done, or a trait I love in someone, the little things make me happy.” – The Times of India

Finding Peace – 2

Surely we can all agree that war is a tragedy for all of us that live on this earth, but it is especially heart breaking for those young men and women and their families, who are putting their lives on the line day after day.  I’m not sure that there could ever be a good enough reason for this to be happening in the 21^st Century, but it is.  And it makes me feel a little bit better to know that these brave young people might be able to find some solace on the mat.

I often think about the soldiers in this picture, I don’t know who they are or how they are, but I do know that as I lay my head down in Child’s Pose, they may be doing the same thing.  And somehow, our consciousness is connecting and we are able to send good intentions via this connection—and I am able to say silently, thank you for being so brave, please stay safe.  And perhaps they are saying thank you for keeping us in your hearts.  I don’t know, but I like to think that this is so.

And I am so very grateful for the practice—and as I step into Warrior II, I make a conscious effort to be enthusiastically courageous in my relatively safe experience.
