Happy Journal July 2008

Was viewing a short video that suggested maintaining a Happy Journal instead of SobStory Diary. So we decided to start today maintaining our happy journal.

We always had the feeling that other do not remember us. Felt good today that old classmates remembered. Tomorrow going to meet them so its going to be nice.

Today in the morning time was spent on doing an EFT session. It went on well. Later in the day I researched on varied topics like hypnosis, affirmations and tried to integrate that with PLRT. Its the same mind which conjures happiness and sadness. Even without the use of any therapies, the a trained mind focusses on only the positive , then the negative gets sidelined. Its easy isn't it, when one can keeps on brooding about past memories, unhappy relationships, lack of money etc etc, even the current smallest or the biggest happy events never remains in attention for a longer period. When you can be an excellent brooder, compulsive pessimist, depressingly boring sick in the mind then you can as well be the opposite- just plain happy.

In the mail today, an article mentioned that Kailash Kher in the presence Swami was in raptures. His exuberant passionate sufi songs had kept everyone tapping to his tunes. Yet no one stood up because our Swami was on the dias. Kailash kissed Swamis feet and said that he wished to sing one last song on behalf of the people who were mad like him. At this point he asked the devotees to join him, yet everyone practised restraint.So sad...but Baba in his inimitable style.....the crowds stood up in the end to sing Jai jaikar for Swami. He knows to take care of all the small desires in our heart.

When I look back at all those years the times at Brindavan, then Parthi , a pleasant soothing feeling swells within me. Thoughts create your reality. The events in my life had made me very sad and it was hard to feel happy. It was as if sadness was in my every breath. The grace of Swami is what kept things from going worse. I didnt leave any option to the universe to help me - i kept creating the horrible thoughts and lost myself in it. But Swami held me through all those years -kept me safe, healthy, gave me a home, a great friend in a husband, good friends, delicious food, enough money and above all gave me the opportunity to spent those divine sweet moments in His presence. Im deeply deeply grateful, I can only love Swami but not in the same magnitude.

In the beginning of last year during a meditative session, I saw the Indian markets going down. This was when the market was at 15,ooo. But i was heartbroken when I saw the market rally to 21,ooo. Today the market is at 13,ooo+. God it was a testing time for both of us. Oh Thank you Lord, for restoring the faith in my intuition, for letting abundance flow in our lives once again. Money is an equivalent-it is love expressed as energy, a blessing from the Gods. Thank you Baba.
