The brain is a very delicate instrument; it is the vehicle through which the mind finds expression.

The mind cannot manifest its power if the brain is clouded by grossness of body. The one who would improve his or her mind, who would awaken the mighty powers within, must give up hurtful physical habits.

It is useless to attempt to eradicate bad mental habits while the body is suffering from indulgence of any kind. For instance, it would be waste of time to affirm all or any of the higher qualities of the mind and then to go to bed intoxicated or full of pork chops and fried onions.

Let your diet be on the light side, always rise from the table slightly hungry rather than repleted, and never eat later than three hours before retiring to bed. (if you go to bed at 11pm do not eat at a later hour than 8pm.)

This is a most important point, the affirmations have more power if made when fasting, therefore the last thing at night and the time of waking in the early morning are the best times at which to perform them. There are physical and psychological reasons for this.

I was looking at my calendar a few days ago, and noticed I haven’t spent any me time……. for a long time.

Just like the ocean I move thru life in waves. Sometimes I’m all pulled in, other times all out expanded.

What’s really intresting is when I’m all expanded out in the physical world(3rd dimension) it takes a lot from my self. This explains why I feel most alone when I’m surrounded by lots of people.

So, I guess the purpose of this post is to bring some light & air to where was a bit stuffy lately.

Pheeew!

That’s nice. Clean spring air.

Here is a breathing exercise for waking up your subconscious mind.

If you practice this daily, I guarantee your life will improve drastically.

When you wake in the morning throw everything wide open; lie flat on your back with outstretched arms and no pillow and light covering or, what is better, none at all.

Relax from head to toe; close your mouth; take quietly a deep slow breath, filling the lungs evenly as possible all the way down; hold the breath as long as you can without straining; then see how very slowly and smoothly you can let the breath out.

Pay very particular attention to this. See how slowly and steadily you can exhale the breath.

Now, “get your breath” if you need to – as you certainly will if you are not used to deep breathing– and then do it over again.

Repeat this five to seven times.

Ideally take about four seconds to inhale, eight seconds for holding, and as many as possible for exhaling.

You may not be able to hold your breath so long at first, and that’s OK. Remember not to strain. It’s important to concentrate on Smooth, easy, steady – these are the first essentials. With practice you will lengthen the breath.

At first I could not inhale longer than two seconds, hold three and exhale three or four; and my heart beat as if I had exerted myself tremendously. It was awhile before I could take five successive breaths such as I have described to you, but just like everything else in life with a little practice things become easier.

What this breathing exercise do is throw your conscious mind out of the loop and allo your subconscious mind to engage, and when that happens you stop self-sabotaging yourself.

Try it for 30 days, and if it doesn’t work quit.

I think one things my wife hates about me is that fact that I hate Christmas.

I have to admit I didn’t grow up celebrating Christmas, so I don’t have the sentimental attachment to it as many of you seem to have. In Turkey we celebrate New Year. ( with population of 99.8% Muslims, fake birthday of Christ is not a big deal) In New Year much like here we get together and exchange gifts.. Some even decorate pine trees.

I think the main reason I don’t like this time of year is originally started because I never got the gifts I wanted. So, the New Year’s day for me was hiding my disappointment by faking to love the gifts I didn’t care to receive.

When I moved to US. I almost always volunteered to work on Christmas (x-mas) so people with families could spend it with their families.

To me X-mas today is a well organized syncronized shopping craze for the people who are conditioned to buy junk and have no idea why.

If I see something I’d like to give to my wife or someone I care for, I buy it, and give it without delay. If I think about a friend in August I send him a card in August, I donate throughout the year to the organizations I like to support.

I think If only time you give gift to someone is during Holidays, you don’t really care for’em, and you’re simply buying something out of obligation, and that’s just waste. Not to mention the person who only receives gifts from you during holidays knows it too, and likely to not appreciate it.

Call me crazy, but to me better than nothing is not a good enough, and I find it offensive to my intelligence when someone thinks because they send me a card during x-mas (and only in x-mas), I think they like me. I know I’m a check mark in their x-mas card list, and will eventually drop off. And I am find with that. Seriously.

My friends who would be x-mas gifts people know last thing I would want them to do is try to find a parking space during this time of the year. I care too much for their qi for that. I’d rather have calm/healthy friends than gifts.

I should probably stop here, before I start calling Santa fat man in red suit.

The irony of the whole thing is St.Nick who is suppose to be Santa is actually lived in a few hours from my town in Turkey.

Happy Hoh Hoh Holidays.
