This includes the recognition that love can be transferred through voice alone.</p>
<p>It is said that anxiety is contagious, and persons nearby become restless. The same holds true for depression. One person can cast a shadow over an entire room. Similarly, peace, joy, and serenity are contagious. They can be transferred from one person to another, but rarely do we encounter a person who exists in total love.</p>
<p>Fortunately, this love, peace, and tranquility can be transferred through a recording of a holy person; and this has a powerful impact on the listener. It is critical that the person listens with eyes closed. This shuts out as much as 75 percent of external stimuli and eliminates a large portion of internal stimuli as well, so the person is listening with far greater attention. The recordings serve as an infusion of love, which neutralizes both anxiety and depression. Some of the recordings proved more effective in twenty minutes of listening than two months of antidepressant medication.</p>
<p>Through greater understanding of love energy and applying it in our own daily lives, we can sort through each thought, word, feeling, action, and put it on the scale to determine love versus need. By &#8220;need,&#8221; I mean desire. This is most useful in psychotherapy. If a person is miserable, it is because of wanting something. If a husband or wife complains bitterly about the spouse, this has nothing</em> to do with loving the other person, it has only to do with caring about the self and wanting more for the self.</p>
<p>One man, for example, was agonizing over a lady friend who left him. I quickly pointed out that his agony related only to his need for her. If he truly loved her, he might be happy for her that she was doing what pleased her the most. So it was not a great love he was losing, it was a great need. When he recognized that it was need instead of love, he was able to relinquish it without pain.</p>
<p>Enhancing the love energy of a patient is an effective means of increasing the healing process. This holds true for both psychological and physical healing. Nonforgiveness is negative energy directed outward, which is the opposite of love. Without forgiveness, it is impossible to achieve the same level of love or the same degree of healing.</p>
<p>Patients who are injured or who have serious physical illnesses often are focused on themselves and their infirmities. This is the wrong direction of flow of energy, and it neutralizes their flow of love, their life force, their healing energy.</p>
<p>Depressed persons also are focused on the self, and this is the opposite of being in love or loving someone else. This is counterproductive when trying to heal.</p>
<p>Two of the criteria for major depression are</p>
<p>(1) loss of energy and</p>
<p>(2) no interest in anything (anhedonia).</p>
<p>With your current understanding of love energy, the reason for these symptoms should now be obvious: if the flow of the life force is reversed, this neutralizes energy and withdraws interest from the outside world.</p>
<p>Anxiety often accompanies depression and in fact it produces</em> depression. This, too, is understandable through utilizing what you know about the flow of our life force. Fear and anxiety relate to conscious and unconscious worries about &#8220;what&#8217;s going to happen to me?&#8221; This is energy moving inward which produces unhappiness and depression. This is the opposite of love, the opposite of energy directed out to others. This is why tranquilizing agents reduce depression. They reduce fear and anxiety, and this reduces the amount of attention and energy focused back to the self. Alcohol is not included as a tranquilizing agent for this purpose because it is the most powerful of all depressants. It also can produce terrible insomnia.</p>
<p>After many years of trying to unravel the mysteries of this invisible love energy and in trying to compare the outward versus the inward flow of positive energy and the outward versus inward flow of negative energy, I realize these are precise laws of physics that govern the outcome and that they are qualitative and quantitative.</p>
<p>I have ?noted that, and as a general rule, people are capable of accepting only as much as they can give. Have you noticed persons who have difficulty accepting a gift or a dinner invitation? Compare their ability to give, to the same ability in those who have no problem at all accepting anything you offer. The more we are able to give, the more we are able to accept the gifts of others.</p>
<p>This formula applies in still another way. When parents truly have not withheld love from their children, the children are delighted to help them in their old age. They give back with joy. When such was not the case, when children were not treated with love, the children might feel they ought</em> to help their parents in their old age; but for them, it is a monumental task because deep down they resent doing anything for the parent. They were not taught to love through loving example, and their unconscious minds have an awareness of this imbalance. This is why some delight in helping parents while others struggle and do so out of a sense of guilt. In this way the deeds of the parent are passed on from generation to generation.</p>
<p>For happiness and spiritual development, the children still must forgive and develop their own ability to love, even though they did not receive the same. It is critically important to learn to look beyond our own feelings that were hurt by others and reach out to help even the very ones who hurt us. Some might say, especially</em> those who have hurt us.</p>

<p><b>Meditation </b> is a holistic discipline during which time the practitioner trains his or her mind in order to realize some benefit. So meditation is more focus about the mind.</p>
<p>Then, <b> Yogis</b> is someone who practices yoga, a traditional Indian spiritual discipline which includes meditation and spiritual exercises. So the reciprocal of meditation, yoga, is more about the body.</p>
<p>To get it straight, here are the reasons why meditation is not just for Yogis:</p>
<p><b> Meditation is easy to practice and learn </b></p>
<p>Unlike yoga which required lots of body arranging, movement and some of difficult poses, meditation only use the simple pose. Just sit down, arrange your hand position for the meditation you have chosen, close your eyes and you are set. As you may know and noticed, yoga is concentrate on body and the meditation is concentrate about the mind.</p>
<p><b> Rights of getting all of the meditation benefits </b></p>
<p>Like I mention in my previous article, meditation have 10 main benefits, there are enlightenment, peace and tranquility, wisdom, joy and happiness, love and compassion, stress reduction and good health, improving brain function, discover purposes and gifts, yogi and physic powers, and magnificence. Not only are the yogis have those all the ten meditation benefits rights, all of the people in the world deserves it, including you.</p>
<p>That is it. Hope it helps and with reading this article, you will join us to spread the light in the world.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">As we move through our daily routines we are often faced with obstacles and challenges which can lead to some degree of stress and anxiety. So to become more relaxed and free of tensions it is important to break away from your ordinary routine and find ways to de-stress. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">This process can be very simple or more in depth, but why not try something new and different? Here are 8, not your everyday ordinary, ways to de-stress and release tensions.</span></span></p>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>1. Massage your ears.</strong> The ear massage is a fantastic way to release endorphins in your brain and make you feel good. The beauty is that it only takes a few minutes. Start by gently rubbing your earlobes with your thumb and index finger. Then squeeze the outer edges of your ears all the way to the top. These parts of your ears have tiny reflex points that can relax specific areas of your body. Finish by using your index fingers and middle fingers to massage behind the ears on the bony part of your skull.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>2. Finger paint.</strong> If you thought that getting messy and painting with your fingers was strictly for kids, think again. Finger painting allows you to have fun, be artistic and play in a child like way. It gives you permission to express your creativity and spontaneity without expectations. So why not be the creator of some new abstract art pieces. Visit a nearby children’s store and pick up a set of finger paints – ages 10 and up.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>3. Strip down your living room.</strong> Take note and see how much stuff you have laying around your house, especially your living room – the place where you often wind down and relax. Then, declutter and learn the powerful <a href="http://mnmlist.com/minimalism-is-the-end-of-organizing/" target="_blank">art of Minimalism</a>. Get rid of anything and everything you don’t use or need. Give away or donate decorations and household items. An open and clean space creates a place of peace and tranquility. It’s also easier to relax when you are not surrounded by stuff such as laundry, work, electronics and even reading materials because your subconscious mind doesn’t feel like you have things to do.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>4. Try laughing yoga.</strong> We all know that the <a href="http://sharingsuccess.tv/power-of-laughter/" target="_blank">power of laughter</a> has a wonderful effect on our mood and is one of the best feel good things we can do. However, the opportunity to laugh like this doesn’t always come easily and often. A fun and crazy way to make yourself laugh uncontrollably is to find (google) a class, club or yoga studio in your area that offers laughing yoga. You may have to step out of your comfort zone but you will be in for a wonderful and hilarious surprise.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>5. Procrastinate.</strong> Make a list of things to do and then don’t do it. Call it your procrastination list. Then make the decision to engage in something you really feel like doing. If and when you become inspired to do something on your procrastination list then go for it. Maybe you really don’t have to do those things on your procrastination list or perhaps someone else may want to do those things for you. I believe that if you’re not accepting, enjoying or enthusiastic about what you’re doing then you shouldn’t do it. By procrastinating you often let go of resistance and become more relaxed.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>6. Be brutally honest.</strong> Have you ever felt frustrated with yourself because you wanted to say something to someone but didn’t in fear of what might happen, what that person might think or how you might make them feel. Instead of bottling things up inside you, which causes stress and tensions, why not let it go through the power of honest speech. Express your emotions and tell people how you really feel without being rude or obnoxious. Be loud and bold. Notice how relieved you feel.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>7. Dance in the rain.</strong> How often do you see people getting upset and running for cover when it starts to pour? Next time it rains, have a little fun, get wet and do a little dance. Engage all your senses and enjoy the moment. Even sing if you want to. You will be surprised how refreshing and rejuvenating it is. For those of you who live in colder climates, try dancing in the snow or making snow angels.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>8. Enjoy a staycation</strong>. Instead of travelling somewhere on a holiday, stay at home and enjoy a local vacation. To make it an adventure, get a map of some nearby hiking trails and plan some day hikes. If you’re in a colder climate consider cross-country skiing or snow-shoeing. Try a new activity such as outdoor photography. Visit some local cafes that sounds interesting and that you’ve never been to before. If you need a break from your kids, recruit a friend or relative to baby-sit. Have fun and get to know your area.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">As we get caught up in the moment of being busy sometimes we just need to step back, let go of what we are doing and pursue new little passions that dissolve tension and creates stress free, happy experiences. I sincerely hope you give one or some of these a try and remember to have fun, be in the present moment and watch your anxieties melt away.</span></span></p>
