Mother Nature’s WRATH

Living through a hurricane reminds me how Mother Nature humbles us. She reminds us not to get too comfortable or complacent because things constantly change. That is the nature of life. There are two forces of energy: creative and destructive. Everything is continually changing through these two forces. Forces of nature, such as Hurricane Milton, remind us that the world is chaotic, destructive, and stressful. We cannot change natural forces, but we can control how we react. It's tough to stay calm in moments of chaos and panic. Karma Yoga teaches us that one of the best qualities we can develop is calmness, even amid chaos. It is good for the health of your body, mind, and soul. Let's take a moment to start our journey towards calmness. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let go. Experience the calmness that comes with this simple act. This is the first step towards a healthier, happier, and more peaceful life. Let's begin this journey together. END: Mother nature, in all her might, certainly humbles us. It is crucial to respect and appreciate her. She may bring destruction, but she also brings creativity, beauty, and joy. As we navigate through Milton's destruction, we must look for the creativity, beauty, and joy that emerges from people helping each other rebuild and recreate their lives. This fosters a sense of gratitude and a deeper understanding of the delicate balance of life. EGO: Flip your palms up and extend out your index finger – the symbol of the ego. The human ego prides itself on its ability to control much of life. We believe ourselves to be the intelligent species. Then suddenly, something like a hurricane comes along, and we are at the mercy of Mother Nature. There is nothing we can do but wait for her to finish her destructive path. Pull your finger in and place your thumb on top – the symbol of the soul. Take a deep breath and surrender to the soul. The soul understands the true nature of life. There will always be destruction and creation. A peaceful soul accepts this with a sense of calmness. Namaste~ may you walk the past of life with health, happiness, and peace.

Don’t Fall into the DGAP – How to Use Your Free Will

Pay attention to the four great passions: deceit, greed, anger, and pride. When they arrive (and they will), use honesty, generosity, kindness, and humility to keep you from falling into DGAP. Four things will block you from seeing your great passions, and if you block these things, you will surely fall into the DGAP. They are knowledge, feeling, vitality, and free will. Free will is essential to living a life of happiness and good health. Free will is the ability to choose between different possible courses of action independently of any prior event or state of the universe. Whether we have free will or not has never been truly settled. However, we all have choices, which karma calls free will. With every situation in life, we are free to choose how we interpret and experience it. Often, we forget and get caught up in habits that cause us to be mechanical. We act without thinking. However, if we are aware, there is the opportunity for the discriminating mind to choose various possible courses of action depending upon which action we perceive to be the most appropriate. When faced with a problem or a decision, take the time to be still and listen to your inner self. Then, take actions not based on what you have been told is right and wrong but on what you know to be right or wrong. Practice honesty, generosity, kindness, and humility to find your free will. It is about knowing that you can freely experience anything in any way you choose. Choose wisely. END: Stay open to learning, be aware of your feelings, stay healthy, and know you have the right to choose. It's called free will. But remember, do no harm and don't fall into DGAP—be honest, generous, kind, and humble. EGO: Flip your palms up and extend the index finger—the symbol of the ego. Free will is the capacity or ability to choose between different ways of thinking, speaking, and acting. We all have choices when it comes to our conduct. The ego sometimes gets stuck, believing its way is the only way, and may close itself off from the diversity of life. Pull your finger in and place the thumb on top. Take a breath and surrender to the soul. In life, you always have choices. You have the power to create happiness and good health, which is the ultimate goal of karma. When faced with a choice, choose honesty, generosity, kindness, and humility. In this, you will exercise your free will and thus work your karma. Namaste~ may you walk the path of life with health, happiness, and peace. Doctor Lynn For books, classes, consultations and more http://www.doctorlynn.com
