Deepak Chopra On How To Enter The Zen Zone.

Quote.

When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.

by

As one of the world’s best-known spiritual advisers, Deepak Chopra has taken meditation mainstream. Here’s his insight on the power of mindfulness and quiet time with yourself.

I was a physician with a lot of stress in my clinical practice. I was smoking a lot of cigarettes and drinking frequently. Then I chose another path and began meditating. Meditation improves your health, sleep and relationships, and relieves stress, so you can achieve your goals. Within two days of meditating, I noticed how different my life became. More than four decades later, I still meditate for two hours in the morning and about 20 minutes in the evening. My morning routine includes some breathing techniques with deep inhales and exhales. I then reflect on body awareness of the five senses; my mental space of feelings, thoughts and emotions; and my relationships, followed by a mantra for the day and, finally, silence.

DISCOVER THE POWER OF QUIET. Silence is when you connect with your core consciousness and your deepest self. That silence is the source of creativity, love, compassion, joy and peace. Who you are is not your assumed identity but consciousness that it is at all times a sea of infinite possibilities. Consciousness transcends time and, because it is not in time, cannot be destroyed. That’s your true self. You cannot get in touch with your soul unless you get past the noise that your mind produces. Once you have overcome that noise, you’re in touch with your source. Your source is also the source of the universe. Some people would call the source God or the infinite consciousness or the unlimited spirit. It doesn’t matter which name you use. That connection can only come through in silence.

FIND FULFILLMENT. We have to broaden the definition of success. Success is the progressive realization of enjoying good health. Success is the ability to love and have compassion. Success is getting in touch with your creative source. All of these come from your creative source, which in spiritual traditions is the soul.

MAKE HEALING A PRIORITY. Healing is the return of the memory of wholeness. Healing, health, whole and holy all mean inclusiveness. Body, mind, spirit, environment, relationships and social interactions are all one wholeness, and you’re a part of that one wholeness.

TRADE MULTITASKING FOR FOCUS. Mindfulness creates centered awareness. When you do one thing at a time, you’re guaranteed excellent results. Keep separate times for daily meditation, exercise, relationships, work and relaxation. Don’t mix them. Also don’t get distracted by always being on your phone. Set a time to do that. If you do too many things simultaneously, it messes up your neural circuits. Your conscious brain should only focus on one thing at a time.

END THE DAY POSITIVELY. The main thing to do at the end of the day is to write in a gratitude journal all the things that you are grateful for that happened that day. You will invite even more abundance into your life.

CONSIDER THIS. You are the most important part of the family. Take care of yourself first. Then you’ll be able to take care of everyone else even better.

    we are inviting you to Ajakaja Brotherhood International. The brotherhood offers all initiate members growth, wealth, fame, power, prosperity and success in all areas of heart desires. We don't demand human sacrifice, the use of any human parts or early personal death as a precondition for you to become our member Membership into our fraternity is free and normally through a thorough screening. We are here to liberate those who need wealth, riches, power, prosperity,protection and success in all ramification. If this is of interest to you, then you are welcome. Is Ajakaja Brotherhood a cult or an occult group? The word"occult"comes from the Latin and only means"secret."The term is widely used in the medical field to describe medical conditions that are hidden. In popular usage, however, occult has come to mean something that is evil or a cult that"brainwashes"its members. Usually, such charges are found to be baseless. Ajakaja Brotherhood is not a cult. It does not practice any kind of mind-control over its Members or promote anything that any sane person would consider evil or criminal. Members come from a wide variety of belief systems and may freely exercise the practice of any faith (or none) as a Member. Does it cost a lot to join? Are there initiation fees? Do I have to pay dues? Membership in Ajakaja Brotherhood is free to join irrespectives of your religion, race, colour, sex etc. Members are required to pay dues and to tithe a small percentage of the money they make as a result of their membership in Ajakaja Brotherhood. Dues are only a small part of what it takes to show us you are committed. If we are to share in the Brotherhood's honors and rewards, we must each have a stake. You will find the amount to be much less than what manyprivate clubs charge but the benefits gained are much greater. You can benefit physically, spiritually, mentally and materially. Members can progress more in 30 days in the Brotherhood than they would in 10 years elsewhere. Can Ajakaja Brotherhood help me make money? A life well lived is more than just money although the lack of money is often the source of much unhappiness. If we possess the same knowledge as the rich and powerful and use the same strategies and tactics, does it not also follow that we, too, can become rich and powerful? Think about it - take any millionaire and bankrupt him, takeaway everything he has and it won't belong before he's back on his feet and makes his next million. How long will it take for me to become rich and powerful? Ajakaja Brotherhood is about more than just wealth and power, as anyone who observes the often tragic lives of the rich and famous can attest to. Without true wisdom and inner power, the outer trappings of success are all in vain, for spirit isascendant over matter. That which is eternal is of far greater value than that which turns to dust. Ajakaja Brotherhood's teachings are not aimed merely towards self-aggrandizement but for the greater happiness of the Member and so that they, in turn, may bless and help others upon the path of life. With that said, let us say that anyone, having the right knowledge, inner power and a circle of powerful friends, with grit and determination can attain to success and prosperity. The rich rewards of fortune and success are never obtained overnight. It takes time to be mentored and to learn the secret knowledge, to build a"millionaire mind-set,"to work one's way through the ranks and to prove one's loyalty and devotion to the Brotherhood. Advancement in the Brotherhood's degrees of wisdom and power can, however, translate into a virtual guarantee of lifetime security because you are building a power within yourself that can never be taken away. Success is not handed to anyone on a silver platter and only you can guarantee your future happiness. Why not start today building that happiness, prosperity, inner power and peace by joining the Ajakaja Brotherhood? Ajakaja Brotherhood is a fraternity with grand lodge temple in Nigeria and Ghana. If this is of interest to you, then you are welcome. To become our member, you don't need to pay any fee, it's free to join. Best regard (A. B.
