“Quantum Healing: The Heart in Wellbeing” July 18 Online session with World Peace Meditation

24 July 2021

 

 

Miami, Florida (USA): The Brahma Kumaris Miami center organized an online conversation on “Quantum Healing: The Heart in Wellbeing.” This session was held in conjunction with World Peace Meditation on the third Sunday of the month.  Dr. Shvetank and Dr. Kanishtha Agarwal presented an introduction to “quantum consciousness” and the implications for healing.
 
According to Dr. Shvetank, “all matter has at its core, no matter” or infinite space. By using our mind, we can enter the “quantum field” — a field of infinite possibilities — and open ourselves to wellbeing.
 
Dr. Kanishtha shared findings from her interviews of BKs who had experienced a serious medical condition, noting that their consistent meditation practices over a long period of time helped dispel fears and enabled them to remain calm and stable. The doctors urged everyone to remember that “life is about choices” and the emerging field of quantum healing demonstrates that we can experience the true joy of life despite our circumstances.

“Embracing Change”: Caterpillar Turning into Beautiful Butterfly - Interesting Article Published by Yvonne Chirya Risely

24 July 2021

 

 

    The one thing that is constant is change.  Change is like a river, ever flowing and moving things around. The river of life is constantly bringing ideas, people, situations – each one an opportunity to enrich the self and others and to learn; or should we keep resisting it?  For more than a year now we have been on a roller-coaster ride of change. Whilst some changes have been positive, other changes have left us reeling, creating anxiety and insecurity. Learning to live with change has become part of our new normal.
 
    However, learning to embrace change is perhaps something we have yet to explore.  When we are aware and accept that everything around us is constantly changing, and we have no control over 99.99% of it, we are able to embrace change like a close friend!  A change is only as difficult as I want it to be.  Difficulties and disappointments are the events which lead us to maturity.  Wisdom  does not necessarily come with age; it is the gift of experience.
 
    To acquire the power to embrace change, sit in silence before you start the journey of the day.  Sit back and relax the body comfortably; Begin your meditation by consciously directing these thoughts to your mind:
 
    I, the being, am separate from this body. This body is not me; it is my costume.  I, the soul, am a tiny point of energy of light like a shining star, dwelling within the brain behind my physical eyes. I, the soul, have a mind that thinks and feels, a conscience that judges right and wrong, and a unique personality.  I am a pure peaceful soul; purity is my original nature.   I existed before birth and I will continue to exist after death.  I am an ever-young, immortal and imperishable soul.  No disease, fire, water or weapon can destroy me.  I am indestructible, I am invincible. Whatever changes may occur, I will always be alive through them.
 
    Meditation helps us embrace change by focusing on our eternal identity whilst practicing accumulating a stockpile of positive and powerful thoughts.  Choose one quality that you would like to improve.  For example, focus on the virtue and power of patience and practice the following affirmations:
 
    Patience tells me the journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. I will reach and embrace these changes one step at time.
 
    Patience teaches me not to rush, knowing that there is a reason and a season for everything.
 
    Patience enables us to smile at the challenges of change, realizing there is an answer to every problem.  And even though we cannot see the future, there is awareness that within every crisis lies an opportunity.
 
    Patience leads the way to be optimistic that the changes we are witnessing in the world will lead to new possibilities for a brighter future.  What if the cracks that are beginning to appear in our old structure are giving way to something new?
 
    Change itself is never painful.  Only the resistance to change is painful. The caterpillar doesn’t resist change. “The caterpillar has the heart of a butterfly.”  It waits patiently in the chrysalis and when the time is right it emerges as a beautiful butterfly. The same applies to us; when we know within our hearts what we want to become, we will become that.  When we realize that all is as it should be, despite appearances, we no longer struggle against changes in life. When I understand there is benefit in everything, no matter what!, I can be easy on myself, with others, with the world around me, easy with change.  Easiness is much more influential than force. Best to quit forcing, end the struggling and resisting…. and… relax!   If you are going to rise, you might as well shine, and God is always there to help, just a thought away.

Texas (USA) - BKs Provide Invocation for Mahatma Gandhi Museum Ground-breaking

24 July 2021

 

 

Dear Divine Family, Om Shanti and greetings of love.  
 
 
Brahma Kumaris was invited to conduct an invocation for the ground breaking ceremony of the Eternal Gandhi Museum Houston, which is the first Mahatma Gandhi museum in the Americas.   BK Dr Hansaben gave the introduction of the Supreme Soul, the Light of Truth.  Dr. Hansaben highlighted Gandhiji’s firm belief that discrimination, prejudice, caste systems, and other forms of human suppression are born out of arrogance of the body, and that respect and love for the soul within the body create unity and brotherhood.
 
The Emcee told the audience that it is a little-known fact that Dr. Hansaben put a garland around Mahatma Gandhiji’s neck when she was a little girl!
 
Present at the ground breaking ceremony was US Congressman Al Green, Consulate General of India Aseem Mahajan, Mayor of Houston Sylvester Turner, Fort Bend County Judge KP George as well as multifaith leaders.
 
 
 
Much love in BapDada’s yaad.
Brahma Kumaris Texas

Evolving Your Consciousness with Raja Yoga Meditation ONLINE starting Monday, July 19th from the Meditation Museum

18 July 2021

 

 
Join us ONLINE for a Week of Evolving Your Consciousness with Raja Yoga Meditation with Sister Jenna

Monday, July 19th – Friday, July 23rd, 11:00 am - Noon EDT

Please use this Zoom link:

This course is held online for 5 consecutive days via an interactive Zoom session from 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. EDT. Since each class is connected to the next, plan to attend all sessions, in sequence.

At the core of Raja Yoga is the understanding of the connection between our consciousness, thoughts and actions, and their impact on our lives and the world. We are living in times where humanity is in desperate search for answers – answers to crises experienced in every area of life. Be it social, economic, political, or environmental, we continue to search everywhere; yet the one place we can easily overlook is inside ourselves.

This ancient meditation practice harnesses your natural powers and trains your mind to be your friend. Raja Yoga teaches us to step back and observe life, take a calm breath, cool our reactions, and step forward in the way we choose - independent of others urging us to think or act as they wish.

Class 1 - Soul - Who Am I?
Monday, July 19th, 11:00AM - Noon EDT

Class 2 - God - the Supreme Soul
Tuesday, July 20th, 11:00AM - Noon EDT

Class 3 - Law of Karma
Wednesday, July 21st, 11:00AM - Noon EDT

Class 4 - World Drama Cycle
Thursday, July 22nd, 11:00AM - Noon EDT

Class 5 - Eight Spiritual Powers
Friday, July 23rd, 11:00AM - Noon EDT

Here are some tips to have the best experience:
▪     For the maximum benefit of all, this Zoom session will rely upon your active participation so please be prepared to share your face on video.
▪     Please ensure your environment is proper, quiet, and well lit.
▪     Ensure that you remain muted at all times if you are not speaking.
▪     Please be properly dressed.

May World Peace Meditation: Families and the New Technology – Friend or Foe? - Report & Recording Access

13 June 2021

 

 

Miami, Florida (USA): The third Sunday in May marked the observance of the International Day of Families, with the theme “Families and the New Technologies: Friend or Foe”. This conversation between Elahe Mehrel, Shivani Dayal, and Poonam Dayal conversation began with a new look at how we define ‘family’. “It’s less about how you become a family, and more about commitment,” according to BK Shivani.

The panel addressed the question “Is parenting harder today in the age of screens, than in the past?” The panel agreed that it presents new challenges about how to choose and use technology. Tech is both an “amplifier and polarizer”. They also noted that the digital divide is real; some children are flourishing while others are left behind.

Elahe reminded us that while select TV programs might be good, commercials don’t “care for children’s hearts and souls” like parents do. Meet the child where s/he is: “it’s the conversation that matters.” Appreciating the opportunity that technology has provided, enabling us to be together without the limitation of geographical distance, the group joined together for World Peace Meditation.
