The greatest misunderstanding for believers concerning healing is to wrongly assume that faith or must be . Nothing could be farther from the truth. Although some healings occur in an instant, most of them require a process which involves a length of time.

>From my humble experience, I will say that up to ninety nine percent of all healings involve a process. This process is just another way of saying, "Up to ninety nine percent of all healings utilize ."

For these reasons, many are not healed because the one ministering healing to them quits before the battle is won. They quit before they are through. They might put on a good show by shoving the one down to mimic the presence of God, but the sick one is still sick. What a tragedy. What a phony, just to look good for the crowd.

The is our primary weapon in healing by warfare. Learn this now: you may have to use this mighty name over and over and over before the healing is complete!

Don't be afraid of it. Just use it and keep on keeping on keeping on using this Name until the healing manifests totally. You see, sometimes, the healing comes (in response to this great Name) in stages.

In other words, the pain may leave first. Then, the redness may disappear. Then the fever may break. Finally, the infection is killed.

This may not be the exact order but you get the picture. Many, many healings require a process of Spiritual Warfare which involves the passage of time.

Think of using Jesus' name like a "" in the following way. Suppose you were driving on a mountain road and a rock slide occured. Boulders fell in front and in back of your car.

You are trapped and cannot move. You have a sledge hammer in your trunk and the only way out is to break the boulders in pieces small enough that you can throw them over the side and out of your way.

You begin to hit the boulders with your sledge hammer but you don't even put a crack in them. You continue hitting them and finally you break off a small piece from one of them. You are encouraged.

You continue the beating process and knock another piece out of them and throw it also over the side out of your way. You continue this use of your sledge hammer until you completely beat a path out of the boulders.

This principle of continued use of the sledge hammer is the same principle behind using Jesus' name for healing. Even using His powerful name, many times you must use it like the sledge hammer above. You must use it over and over and over again . Then and only then does a divine healing take place.

This is the role of Spiritual Warfare in healing.

Spiritual warfare for healing takes time and patience but healing comes when you utilize it.

Spiritual enlightenment marks the culminating point of your practices: when one attains spiritual enlightenment, one feels the unity of soul with everything and all the mental and physical engagements are left aside. Spiritual enlightenment is the possession of souls, and great spiritual masters of the whole world propagate the fundamentals that they experience through spiritual enlightenment.

As it seems, spiritual enlightenment is often categorized into levels for practical purposes. Highest stage of spiritual enlightenment marks the attainment of God, but still there are certain levels through which the individual needs to evolve. It is like rising from the levels of to which we often tend to degrade ourselves. From the levels of animality, we rise to the level of humanity, which constitutes our . And further from humanity to divinity, where we merge back in the source from where we have come. Let us, for our practical purpose, put them in stages and analyze the state of being in each stage:

The first stage of spiritual enlightenment At the very first level of spiritual enlightenment, the individual starts experiencing the reality as it is. It means that your mind ceases to interfere with what you are experiencing. Quite often, we are engaged in continuous talk, gossip, analyzing the environment around us, planning about future, and so on. However, when spiritual enlightenment dawns on your being, you take everything as it is.

The of spiritual enlightenment At the second stage of spiritual enlightenment, you feel yourself in almost everything around you. You feel that you have some connection to every object and every individual in the world. It is like losing your own individuality. Spiritual enlightenment has its at merging the soul in , and this is where you start experiencing it. You feel that you are not individual anymore and not separate from anything. You feel that you are in everything and everything is just a part of the Supreme Soul from where you also have emerged.

The third stage of spiritual enlightenment At the third stage of spiritual enlightenment, you no longer feel connected to everything but realize you are everything. Because spiritual enlightenment gives you the experience of oneness with God, you feel that you are not separate from anything. You are not merely the body, sense, mind, and faculty of intellect: you are what everything else is. This stage of spiritual enlightenment imparts the direct experience of oneness.

Spiritual enlightenment is the fruit that sets you free, as you lose all wants and wishes to receive the fruits of your actions. You feel the bliss of completeness through spiritual enlightenment. At first it gives you the feeling that you need "Light". At the next stage, you feel that you are merging in "Light". At the culminating stage, you feel that you are no more separated from "Light"--you and "Light" are one.

What we must understand is that the anointing comes on an act of .

Let me repeat it. The anointing comes on an act of faith. You can control this anointing simply by performing it. Therefore, if you act on faith, you control the anointing that follows because the anointing comes on an act of faith.

Now, I am going to give you The Seven of Faith which makes up the Battle . We put all seven of them together and use them as a unit. When we use them in concert, we can shake Heaven, earth and the pits of hell with them.

There are seven things you can do which bring down the anointing of God. When His anointing falls upon these seven acts, it will get for you what you need from God.

No matter what it is that you need, whether healing, financial blessing, no matter what it is, these seven acts that you must perform will deliver for you. All seven of these acts of faith must be done in their proper order.

These seven steps are nothing more than . Therefore, I call praying for the sick or doing spiritual warfare simply "The Seven Acts of Faith which brings down the anointing for Healing (or whatever I need) Every time." I also call them "Your Battle Healing Prayer."

Terminology and titles are not as important as remembering that these Seven Acts are things you must do. But remember! They must be done in their proper order.

Act of Faith #1: Praise the Lord and keep on praising Him until you feel his presence.

(Based on Psalms 22:3 plus many more .)

Act of Faith #2: Specifically pray to God in Jesus name for two and only two things here. 1. Pray for Him to remove the pain from the subjects body. 2. Pray for Him to heal the cause of their pain.

(Based on John 15:7 plus many more Scriptures.)

Act of Faith #3: Bind the . The Strongman is the devil himself. He must be bound before you can attack the demon that is either causing or assisting in the sickness of the subject. Quit worrying about what you believe, just do it! Bind the Strongman!

(Based on Mt 12:29, Mr 3:27, and Lu 11:21.)

Act of Faith #4: Cast out the demon! Tell him his strongman has been bound and that he has no right to be causing sickness in the subjects body. Command him to come out in Jesus name and take this sickness, pain, injury and disease with him. Say, "In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, come out of Subject's name, and take all your sickness and pain with you.

(Based on Mark 16: 17 plus many other Scriptures)

Act of Faith #5: Speak to the pain. Command the pain to come out of Subject's name. Tell it to come out now. Say, "Pain in Jesus' name, come out of Subject's name!"

(Based on Mark 11:23 plus many more Scriptures.)

Act of Faith #6: Speak death into the sickness and pain. Say, "Sickness! I speak death into you. I declare, decree and establish the death sentence in you. Die at the roots! Dry up! Come out of Subject's name in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! You are dead and can do no more damage! Come out of Subject's name now!

(Based on Mark 11:23 plus many more Scriptures.)

Act of Faith #7: Speak healing into Subject's name. Say, "I declare, decree and establish you healed." Then command the subject to heal. Say, "Be healed in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, be healed! Be healed! Be healed! In Jesus' name, be healed!

(Based on Acts 3:6 plus many more Scriptures.)

Repeat these Seven Acts over and over each and every day until the victory comes. It will. The anointing always comes on an act of faith. Here are Seven Acts for the anointing to come upon.

For those of you who are very interested in the where you have to face head on in spiritual warfare, here is a list of some of the best books in the Body of Christ today on this most important topic.

All of these authors are true pioneers in this field and you can learn very much from their experiences which have occurred on the actual battlefields where our Lord does truly battle Satan and his for all of our souls.

1. "Defeating Dark Angels" by Charles H. Kraft

For those of you who are looking for very good, practical. step-by-step knowledge on how to deliver people from - this book, in my opinion, is one of the best ever written on this topic. The Bible tells us to cast out demons, but it does not tell us exactly how to do it.

This man is a real pioneer in this field and he has now provided the Body of Christ with an incredible amount of knowledge and revelation in this area. He covers everything from how demons are allowed to attach to some people - to how to find and break their legal rights so that you can then successfully cast them out. This book will go down as a classic on this subject if it not already is. On a scale of 1-10, this book is a solid 10. For those of you are looking to enter into a real deliverance ministry for the Lord, I would you add this book to your arsenal.

2. "Healing Through Deliverance - Volumes 1 and 2: The Practice of Deliverance Ministry" by Peter Horrobin

Another very good thorough and complete analysis on the deliverance ministry. The above author Charles Kraft gives his highest endorsement on these 2 books. Vol. 1 deals with the biblical basis for being able to have a deliverance ministry from the Lord. This author goes into very good detail on the earthly ministry that Jesus walked with and how Jesus has specifically commissioned His Body to cast out demons as He Himself did. This first volume will give you all of the biblical grounds and authority we have as believers to actually engage with demons when we have to.

Vol. 2 goes into the actual specifics on how to actually cast demons out of people. He covers all of the major basic legal rights demons will use to come in on people and how to break those legal rights so that you can actually deliver people from their death grips. Again, one of the best books ever written on this subject! I these two books as companions to the book from Charles Kraft "Defeating Dark Angels."

3. "Larson's Book of Spiritual Warfare" by Bob Larson

Bob Larson is another real pioneer in the field of deliverance. I have personally seen this man in action myself and he is the real thing. He is highly anointed and very knowledgeable in this area.

This book is 481 pages in length and covers many of the areas of the occult which are drawing people into the realm of Satan and his demons like sheep being led to the slaughterhouse. He goes into very good detail in the areas of spiritual warfare and ends the book with how to actually perform a deliverance.

4. "How to Cast Out Demons: A Guide to the Basics" by Doris Wagner

This is another very good book that gives you a good step-by-step process on to deliver people from demons. Doris is very thorough and very complete in her explanations on how to do an actual deliverance and is also another real pioneer in this field. She has learned much from the Lord as she has stepped out into this area. She too covers many of the legal rights that demons will use to attach themselves to people and she gives very specific instructions on how to actually break their legal rights so that you can really set people free from grip and influence.

One of the things I really like in this book is that she gives you a very good checklist and questionnaire to use when questioning people about their past. You have to find out how the demons have been able to get in on someone in the first place, and with the checklist and questionnaire she provides, you will have a much better chance of finding out exactly what that legal right may be that is allowing that demon to stay attached to that person and continue to torment and attack them. Again - just another very good solid book on this topic.

5. "Pigs in the Parlor" by Frank and Ida Mae Hammond

This book is already considered a classic by many today in the area of deliverance from demons. This book was written back in 1973 and many deliverance ministers today have read and studied from this husband and wife team. These two were some of the earlier pioneers in this field and there is a lot of practical and step-by-step knowledge on how to actual deliver people from demons.

With this being one of the first books ever written on this subject, I would also highly recommend this book for anyone who is really wanting to learn how to do all of this. They share their wealth of knowledge in this area with you and there is much information from some of the cases they were actually involved in. This is real live information and knowledge direct from the actual battlefield itself.

6. "Unmasking the Jezebel Spirit" by John Paul Jackson

This book may be one of the best ever written on the jezebel spirit. This particular spirit specializes in infiltrating the different Churches - and every pastor and deliverance minister needs to know what this spirit is and exactly how it operates and how it likes to set up shop to do its thing. Many churches have been totally ruined and destroyed as a result of this deadly spirit operating through some of the actual members of their churches.

This book will give you some incredible examples of how this spirit can attach to certain people and how it can then influence these people to try and destroy the leadership within the church. Many pastors have lost their entire ministries as a result of not knowing how this deadly spirit can operate from within their own ranks. This is an absolute must read for every pastor and church leader.

7. "The Power of the Blood" by Maxwell Whyte

This was the very first book that opened up my eyes to the power of pleading the blood of Jesus for deliverance and protection. This is just a small 92 page paperback book - but the information in this book is mind-blowing. This man gives real life examples on how he learned how to plead the Blood of Jesus, the biblical grounds we have to be able to use it, and some of the dramatic miracles he actually experienced in his own ministry once he started to do it.

There are not very many good books on how to actually plead the blood of Jesus - so I would highly and strongly recommend that you add this book to your arsenal if you want really more knowledge on this subject. This book, in my opinion, will go down as one of the classics on this topic even though it is only 92 pages long.

8. "The Blood and the Glory" by Billye Brim

This is book #2 that I would highly recommend for those of you who want to learn more about how to plead the blood of Jesus for deliverance and protection in your own personal life. This woman gives some powerful examples in her own life how pleading the blood of Jesus actually help to save some of her own families member's lives. She also goes into the Scriptural grounds we have to be able to use the blood of Jesus for deliverance and protection.

This woman went into a major seeking mode with the Lord on this issue once she first found out about it. You will learn much from the insight and knowledge she was able to gain on this topic. Again, with there not being many good books on this particular subject matter, I would highly recommend that you add this book to your God-library if you really want to learn more about it.

9. "The Word, the Name, the Blood" by Joyce Meyer

The third book I would highly recommend on this topic is the book that Joyce Meyer herself has written on this topic. She too found about the power of pleading the blood of Jesus in her own personal life and how powerful of a weapon it really is in the hands of a true Spirit-filled believer.

She also goes into the power that is in the name of Jesus and the power that is in the Word of God itself. This is also a very good basic 101 spiritual warfare book to add to your arsenal if you really want to learn how to become a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

I personally believe that Joyce Meyer is one of the best teachers we have in the Body of Christ today and you cannot go wrong with all of the books she has written to-date.

Though deliverance isn't talked about much in today's churches, over 25% of Jesus' miracles were some form of deliverance. I consider these books to be the very best on the subject of spiritual warfare.

Yet it is a term more readily heard in the media nowadays promulgated by the nation's defense planners and used quite frequently in reference to the war on terrorism.

Asymmetric warfare is simply the application of unique, creative, and unconventional methods with the intention to defeat a numerically and technologically superior enemy. It takes many forms including combat and psychological warfare.

The 9/11 attacks and bombing of the U.S.S Cole were examples of applying this type of warfare as were the recent verbal assaults by Venezuelan and Iranian presidents upon the United States at the UN.



Although asymmetric warfare has its roots as far back as the Trojan Campaign in and Hannibal's assault on Rome, it was Americans that brought it to a fine art form, if not a pure science.

Some have said that asymmetric warfare is as American as apple pie.

Very few military historians would dispute that the of the Revolutionary War and the during the Civil War fostered forms of asymmetric war at its best.



The guerrillas Francis Marion (the Swamp Fox) and Daniel Morgan (hero of the Cow Pens) drove from South Carolina. On a much grander scale General Washington's victory at Trenton was a fine example of this type of warfare. So was 's Valley of Virginia Campaign and John Mosby's exploits during the Civil War, not to mention 's island hopping campaign during World War II.

A major part of the new Rumsfeld Doctrine embraces the concept of asymmetric warfare to such a high degree that it is changing American's global defense posture on a radical basis. It is no secret that top brass within the Pentagon and the Defense Secretary are locking horns over the issue on a very frequent basis, not to mention a horde of retired generals raising alarm bells.

Our leaders tell us that asymmetric warfare is a new and unproven field of military endeavor used by terrorist cells and terrorist nations bent on our destruction. That we don't fully understand and grasp the nature of the Islamic fundamentalist mind -- and have never faced such a determined or fanatical foe.

Someone needs to tell that to the boys who served on those aircraft carriers in the South Pacific during World War II. Those Japanese kamikazes and kaitens were just as dedicated to their Emperor as Islamic fundamentalists are to Allah.



We could not stop those crazed Japanese willing to sacrifice their lives in the name of their cause and neither can we stop the dedicated Islamic radicals bent on attacking our homeland.

The difference today is there's no Harry Truman at the helm.



That simple farmer from Missouri knew the head of the octopus had to be crushed in order to stop the carnage being inflicted in the central and south pacific theaters of war.



So he did --- very quickly and effectively.

And this begs the question.

How long are American leaders going to allow terrorist oriented nation-states to finance and use asymmetric warfare --- through their proxy organizations such as al-Qaeda --- against the United States and continue to divert attention from the more important strategic issues at hand, such as the growing Chinese threat?

Some say it is a diversionary ploy designed to shift the public's attention away from other pressing issues such the environment, trade concerns, job losses, and income stagnation.



The Bush Administration wants us to believe the war on terror is a multi-decade long struggle requiring a dangerous redeployment of American defense resources away from cold war postures.









U.S. leadership has an intimate understanding of asymmetric warfare.



If it does not interdict the use of this lethal form of tactical warfare against America's vital interest immediately, using whatever means necessary at its disposal --- however ugly --- it will eventually have a very negative effect on both the economic and military institutions of the nation and a profound impact on its political stability as well.





And maybe that's what our enemies want after all. And then the octopuses of the world will eat that apple pie for desert. James Silvester is a small biz author and consultant.

Does this mean you are a ?

No.

You and meditate every day. Does this mean you are a spiritual person?

No.

You belong to and are devoted to following the teachings of the group. Does this mean you are a spiritual person?

No.

What, then, does it mean to be a spiritual person?

Being a spiritual person is synonymous with being a person whose highest priority is to be loving to oneself and others. A spiritual person cares about people, animals, and the planet. A spiritual person knows that we are all one, and consciously attempts to honor this oneness. A spiritual person is a kind person.

So, you can go to church every Sunday and say your prayers every day, without caring about loving yourself, others and the planet. You can practice yoga and meditate every day without being conscious of what is loving and what is not loving in your thoughts and actions. You can belong to a spiritual group and devotedly follow the teachings, yet still be toward yourself and others in your daily life.

There are many people who do not practice a , who do not meditate, pray or belong to any group, who are very spiritual people. These people naturally do caring things for others. They think about how they can help. Their thoughts are kind rather than judgmental toward themselves and toward others. When you look at them, you see their kindness in their eyes.

There are many religious people who are anything but kind. We all know of religious people who are extremely judgmental, righteous, and outright mean. Can you be both religious and spiritual? Of course! But only when you are operating in your religion from your heart rather than from the learned of your mind.

Years ago I very briefly attended a "spiritual" group. People would meet in an auditorium to hear the leader of the group speak. The second time I attended I heard a number of parents yelling at their children and judging them to try to control them. These parents were being anything but kind with their children. That was the last time I attended the spiritual group. The focus of the group was surrender to God, but love was rarely in the picture! They obviously had a very different experience of God than I did.

My experience of God is that God is the energy of Love that created us and sustains us. In my experience, "God is Spirit" (John 4:24) and "God is love" (1 John 4:16). Anything that is not of love, peace, joy, truth and kindness is not of God. Praying to God does not mean that you are allowing the spirit that is God - the love, peace, joy, truth and kindness that is God - to guide your thoughts and actions. Practicing yoga or meditating does not mean that you have invited the love that is God into your heart, or that you are turning to that ever-present love to learn about what is in your highest good, and the highest good of others and the planet.

If you want to be a spiritual person, then let kindness be your guiding light - kindness toward yourself, toward others, toward animals, and toward this beautiful planet that is our home. Recognize that we all have the spark of love that is God within us, and learn to honor that love so that you can know and experience the Oneness of all that is.

If a man's wants can be removed for an hour, it is helping him indeed; if his wants can be removed for a year, it will be more help to him; but if his wants can be removed for ever, it is surely the greatest help that can be given him. is the only thing that can destroy our miseries for ever; any other knowledge satisfies wants only for a time. It is only with the knowledge of the spirit that the faculty of want is annihilated for ever; so helping man is the highest help that can be given to him. He who gives man spiritual knowledge is the greatest benefactor of mankind and as such we always find that those were the most powerful of men who helped man in his spiritual needs, because spirituality is the of all our activities in life.

A spiritually strong and sound man will be strong in every other respect, if he so wishes. Until there is spiritual strength in man even physical needs cannot be well satisfied. Next to spiritual comes intellectual help. The gift of knowledge is a far higher gift than that of food and clothes; it is even higher than giving life to a man, because the real life of man consists of knowledge. Ignorance is death,knowledge is life. Life is of very little value, if it is a life in the dark,groping through ignorance and . Next in order comes, of course, helping a man physically.

Therefore, in considering the question of helping others, we must always strive not to commit the mistake of thinking that physical help is the only help that can be given. It is not only the last but the least, because it cannot bring about permanent satisfaction. The misery that I feel when is satisfied by eating, but returns; my misery can cease only when I am satisfied beyond all want. Then hunger will not make me miserable; no distress, no sorrow will be able to move me. So, that help which tends to make us strong spiritually is the highest, next to it comes intellectual help, and after that physical help.

Most of the time, people's enemy is oneself. It is human nature to feel fear, to be skeptical about one's capabilities and to settle with what is usual. This attitude can limit one's potential. As human beings, we are supposed to grow as individuals, find within ourselves our capabilities and use them for our growth.

Breaking from the limits that chain people, it is important to know who we really are through listening to what our inner selves are telling us. is an effective tool in achieving such goal.

Aside from serving as a tool to gain higher truth, spiritual healing is also very beneficial to one's physical health. Nowadays, it is very common to seek spiritual help as a means to cure diseases and improve health. The human body consists of different levels such the physical body, which the most apparent, and at a deeper level is the . The two affect each other. The weakening of the physical body can be a manifestation of the dysfunction of the spiritual component. In turn, the weakening of one's can lead to illnesses that are manifested in the physical body. In the interest of self-preservation, it is not enough to solely address the needs of the physical body. Taking care of one's spiritual health is equally important as taking care of one's physical body.

Spiritual healing is a vehicle to penetrating to people's deeper being. Humans are complex creatures; our identity is not only defined with what is seen on the surface. There is a lot to discover underneath and knowing what lies inside us is very important to shaping the totality of our identity. Spiritual healing is key to self realization; to maximizing our potential.

Spiritual counseling brings us to what spiritual practitioners call as soul, which is the seat of our inner feelings. Letting it express itself can lead us to understanding what we truly desire; what we are truly capable of hence, freeing ourselves from negatives elements that bind and limit us.

Spiritual counseling can bring us one with our self which is the prerequisite of understanding life and our true purpose. To gain understanding to things that are external to us, we should first look back, reflect within ourselves and understand who we truly are.Jina Life is a team of highly skilled Spiritual Guiders and Life Coaches in Melbourne.

Because we heard them. We know that man has a body, eyes, and ears,and he has a spiritual nature which we cannot see. And with his spiritual faculties he can study these and find that whether a religion is taught in the forests and jungles of India or in a Christian land,in essentials all religions are one.This only shows us that religion is a constitutional necessity of the human mind. The proof of one religion depends on the proof of all the rest.

For instance,if I have , and no one else has,you may well say that is abnormal. The same reasoning may be applied to the argument that only one religion is true and all others false. One religion only, like one set of six fingers in the world,would be unnatural. We see,therefore,that if one religion is true, all others must be true. There are differences in non -essentials, but in essentials they are all one. If my are true, they prove that your five fingers are true too. Wherever man is, he must develop a belief, he must develop his religious nature.

Even if you spend not one second thinking about God, your existence as a soul is a living testimony to God's and goodness. You came from the spiritual realms, to exist here on the in a body, for a specific and sacred purpose that is an integral part of the larger purpose that God has for souls on the Earth at this time.

You are beloved in God's eyes, even if you have no awareness of God or spiritual life. God's love formed the very DNA of your cells, and created you with purity, love and goodness in your heart. In God's , all souls are given free will and choice, to make their way in life and choose from among a of directions and options. Your free will may have taken you closer to or further away from the love and goodness that you were created with, but at all times you remain a sacred child of God.

This one realization could change humanity in an instant, if it were understood that all life is sacred, all life is spiritual life, and that God who created the Earth is actively participating in each life at all times, even in times of great difficulty when it appears that the presence of negativity and darkness is all around.

Dearest ones, your beautiful hearts and souls have been living constricted in limitation, only partially awake to the magnificent potentials that you embody. This current time you are living in marks the beginning of a new era for humanity, which will open all eyes to the experience and embodied reality of God's love.

With worldwide crises in many areas, and for the planet as a whole, this reality may color your perception so that you miss seeing the goodness that is also happening among these very difficult events. It is possible to begin experience the blessing that is happening by attuning to your heart in prayer, meditation, or by walking quietly in nature.

By asking and praying to feel God's presence more in your life, you will begin to have experiences of this as your prayers are answered. As God's presence is revealed, your seemingly ordinary life will take on a new dimension of understanding and experience. Daily life reveals itself to be in essence, spiritual life. God is not separated from your body, mind, spirit, or from your daily thoughts and actions. All is One within the magnificence of the holy creation that is Earth. Your presence and participation is an essential pat of the whole. Your life is blessed beyond measure, as the reality of God's love and goodness becomes your reality in the sacred dance of One.

Most , its concern is mainly to tame the body for its onward spiritual growth.

If it is only the body aspect, is the God given/God-designed body imperfect for commencing and conducting ? Those who disown Hatha Yoga and are not overawed by its practice and the results that it gives, believe so. According to them the practice of Hatha Yoga is not necessary for the real spiritual growth.

Animated for stress relief, breathing exercises, asana and pranayama-- all form part of Hatha Yoga. But they are all conducted with a purpose to achieve particular results. There are many subsidiary goals, which Hatha believe need to be achieved before achieving the final goal of Self-Realisation.

When we talk about yoga, we refer to it in the physical sense. To build the body to its perfection is the main aim of yoga. To attain emotional well being is also its concern, because without the emotional well being, spiritual attainments are not possible. The Hatha Yogi is a perfect scientist. He sees the body as the and wants to maintain it in a spic-and-span condition for the entry of God!

Therefore, asanas and other strict physical austerities, bordering the body are the priority of a Hatha Yogi. He considers them essential, without which it is not possible to achieve the final goal. He firmly believes that certain positions of the body can only be achieved by hard and intense practice.

There are several asanas for which the names of bird, animals or flowers are given. That shows their love for Nature, their feeling of oneness with the Nature. Some consider Hatha Yoga as the most unwanted part of yoga. Since any particular practice of Hatha Yoga is done by keeping in mind the attainment of a particular objective, the same is not considered perfect from the pure spiritual point of view. Doing anything with a motivated desire is not considered conducive to spiritual goal. The results of such actions are considered impermanent. The impermanent can not lead to the permanent.

Nevertheless, Hatha Yoga is what Hatha Yoga does! It has millions of ardent followers and some charlatans too, who are bent upon exploiting the gullibility of the people! http://www.therealyoga.com/ andamp; Yoga website provides detailed information on yoga, yoga meditation, yoga gear and more. ]]> Daily Meditation - Spiritual Support For Today's World http://www.artwoo.com/article/daily-meditation-spiritual-support-for-todays-world http://www.artwoo.com/article/daily-meditation-spiritual-support-for-todays-world#comments Wed, 10 Jan 2007 18:27:08 +0000 daily meditationpeople findeven despairsacred spacespiritual lifegodpeace and harmony http://www.artwoo.com/article/daily-meditation-spiritual-support-for-todays-world spiritual life was separate from andquot;regular lifeandquot;.

In today's world, our understanding of spiritual life is changing. More and more we are understanding that all of life is sacred, and at the same time, there seems to be less and less time available for us to slow down and connect with our innermost spiritual center.



With the advent of global communication, there are now many options available to us for spiritual and religious expression.

At the same time, modern life has become more challenging, more demanding and faster paced. Staying positive and focused on 's love can be difficult, especially when we are faced negative energy that we see manifesting in world events. Many people face depression or because they find it difficult to connect with their inner experience of God's love during these difficult times.

A regular spiritual practice of daily meditation can be of great help in today's world, to help bring an awareness of spiritual values into all aspects of your daily life.

Daily meditation can allow you to create peace within yourself, which then radiates outwards to others. Daily meditation can be a simple as taking five or ten minutes daily with your favorite spiritual support, or can involve a more rigorous program of study, practice and meditation.

The importance of daily meditation is in the consistency with which it is done. It is helpful to schedule a specific time of day, or to do your meditation several times a day. Some it helpful to create an altar or other in the home, which provides an outer reminder of the sacred, and also creates a vibration of . If you can keep this sacred space clean, free from clutter, and away from other activities, and you will find that your altar becomes a spiritual haven that you can go to find peace, light and comfort in the midst of a busy day.

You do not need to only have one altar in your home. You can make an altar in each room, at your desk, and even in your car.

A daily reminder of sacred reality goes a long way to supporting your daily meditation practice.

Daily meditation can provide comfort, upliftment, and spiritual support, even during difficult times. You will find yourself attracted to meditation practices that are most resonant with your own soul's unique divine blueprint.

A daily meditation practice can be tailored to your own unique needs and spiritual longing. Daily inspiration and meditation be found through sacred religious texts as well as newer spiritual writings.

We are all of God, and created by God, and we each have a unique purpose and aspect of God that we embody in the world. The abundance of sacred teachings at this time on the Earth is a reminder that God speaks in many ways so that each heart and each soul can feel and be reminded of God's love in their own unique way.

Every good work we do without any ,instead of forging a new chain,will break one of the links in the existing chains. Every good thought that we send to the world without thinking of any return, will be stored up there and break one link in the chain,and make us purer and purer,until we become the purest of mortals. Yet all this may seem to be rather quixotic and too philosophical,more theoretical than practical. I have read many arguments against the Bhagavad-Gita, and many have said that without motives you cannot work. They have never seen unselfish work except under the influence of , and,therefore,they speak in that way.

Let me tell you in conclusion a few words about one man who actually carried this teaching of Karma-Yoga into practice.That man is Buddha. He is the one man who ever carried this into perfect practice. All the prophets of the world, except Buddha, had external motives to move them to unselfish action. The prophets of the world, with this single exception, may be divided into two sets, one set holding that they are incarnations of God come down on earth,and the other holding that they are only messengers from God; and both draw their impetus for work from outside, expect reward from outside, however highly spiritual may be the language they use.

One danger is the lack of water. We need to see that it is watered frequently, until it is able to establish its roots deeply into the earth, insuring for itself a steady supply of water, regardless of external conditions.

In the same way we need to protect our newborn spiritual self from drying up because of a lack of spiritual sustenance. We can do this by with oriented persons through seminars and group gatherings for such purposes. We can also water our inner spiritual sapling through daily prayer, meditation and reading of spiritual texts.

Another danger is that passing might eat it. Thus we must erect a around the sapling, preventing the goats from eating its and shoots.

Eventually, however, when the tree has grown larger and its leaves have risen above the level which the goats can reach, we can remove the fence without fear of there being any harm to the tree.

Now the tree is not only no longer vulnerable, but it can offer protection to the goats from the hot sun or the rain or snow. The goats now benefit from the tree.

In the same way we must, in the beginning of our spiritual growth process, protect ourselves from company and s with people who are not spiritually oriented, so that we can have the opportunity to develop our inner faith and discipline. (This does not include, of course, our immediate family, whom we have incarnated to serve and love. Nor does it include people who need our help. It does include superficial social and professional contacts).

By avoiding those who are negative towards spiritual values, and keeping company with those who embrace those values, we gradually strengthen our spiritual sapling into a full-grown tree, which no longer needs any such protection.

Now, we can have contact with all types of negative influences without loosing our center. Now, like the large tree, we can offer comfort, love and wisdom even to those who previously would have caused us to loose our spiritual center.

We need to determine whether we are saplings or trees and act accordingly.

If we look at the terms new age and spiritual, we find similarities, where spiritual refers to soul or spirit and new age has been described as 'of or relating to spiritual and consciousness raising movements'. New age books encompass health, medicine, philosophy, religion and the occult. And yet, the term new age was only coined in recent decades, mainly from the 1970's. So that begs the question - is there such a thing as a New Age?

Many so-called new age books (and spiritual books) that have been written over these past few decades are emphatic that we are indeed in a new age spiritual era that is NEW in every aspect to what has come before. However, researching older spiritual books and philosophy books shows that humankind has passed through of high enlightenment before - inspirational times of metaphysical and spiritual awareness that equals or surpasses our current times. So is this perhaps not a new age as such, but simply a remembering of metaphysical, esoteric, inspirational and spiritual powers that all of us possess but have temporarily forgotten. If this be the case, then perhaps a more apt term would be .

Which brings us to another so-called new age term ... parapsychology. New age parapsychology is the study of and the term parapsychology comes from the Greek para 'beside, beyond' and psychology, derived from the Greek psyche 'soul, mind'. So, here we are back to the spiritual again or, as mentioned above, Mind Body Spirit. And yet, some people still insist that spiritual books, new age books and new age parapsychology are totally separate themes. Perhaps that's why more and more people are coining the phrase Mind Body Spirit in an attempt to mold these various terms into a more unified category.

If we at the core messages in the various spiritual books, new age books, metaphysical, esoteric, parapsychology, philosophy and even self improvement books, we often find similarities that are sometimes veiled in different terms that could all be better described as Mind Body Spirit. Yes, even philosophy books, which are essentially the belief or system of beliefs accepted as an authoritative account by a group or philosophy school, have similarities to each other and also to the more recent spiritual new age parapsychology and metaphysical esoteric books. The various philosophy books available today, which are scriptures handed down over many centuries that are the core beliefs of the world's many religions, also have strong similarities in the original message, although the interpretation of these books over the ages has led to contrasting viewpoints.

Considering the strife that such opposing views of philosophy books over the ages has caused, perhaps this new age of parapsychology, with its metaphysical, esoteric and spiritual messages and books will help break down these old belief systems that have divided humanity for so long, particularly when unified under the more acceptable catch-phrase of Mind Body Spirit. The proliferation of self improvement books alone has brought a spiritual awareness to thousands, if not millions, who seek to grow through better knowing themselves. Old philosophy books are being rewritten in more spiritual new age terminology and marketed under various terms, not only new age and spiritual, but also metaphysical books, esoteric books, new age parapsychology, inspirational books, self improvement and even philosophy books. An increasing number of these books are being grouped, on websites and also in physical bookstores, under the Mind Body Spirit label.

The overriding influence of these books is inspirational, encouraging readers to delve deeper into themselves to discover their true spiritual nature and it is encouraging to see so many spiritual new age parapsychology (Mind Body Spirit) books coming out in increasing numbers each year.

Two such books are listed on www.1-inspirational-quote-book.com/ although many readers place them into various categories. They are a mixture of metaphysical, spiritual, esoteric and self improvement books, even though they are based in a sci-fi theme. Above all, they are inspirational, told from the viewpoint of an extra-terrestrial race of Beings who are concerned about the direction we are taking. Regardless of the various viewpoints, they will easily fall into the more generalized Mind Body Spirit category and, overall, the feedback from readers has been fantastic, many of them describing the books as 'inspirational and thought provoking'. As one reader wrote ''The story slowly engulfed me, drew me in until I was on my own journey. It opened my mind, enticing me to read more. I ask, is this just a novel or a key to our future...?' Born November 30 in New Zealand, Gau-Ghan shares the same birthday as Mark Twain. And likewise, avid readers will stick with Gau-Ghan like paint to the picket fence in Huckleberry Finn.

Here,it is not at all any question of creed,or doctrine - even men who are very much opposed to all religious ideas, when they see one of these acts of complete self - sacrifice,feel that they must revere it.

Have you not seen even a most bigoted Christian, when he reads Edwin Arnold's Light of Asia, stand in reverence of Buddha, who preached no God, preached nothing but self-sacrifice? The only thing is that the bigot does not know that his own end and is exactly the same as that of those from whom he differs. The worshipper, by keeping constantly before him the idea of God and a surrounding of good, comes to the same point at last and says, "Thy will be done," and keeps nothing to himself. That is self - abnegation. The philosopher, with his knowledge, sees that the seeming self is a delusion and easily gives it up.

It is self - abnegation. So Karma, Bhakti, and Jnana all meet here; and this is what was meant by all the great preachers of ancient times, when they taught that God is not the world. There is one thing which is the world and another which is God; and this distinction is very true. What they mean by world is selfishness. Unselfishness is God. One may live on a throne, in a golden palace, and be perfectly unselfish; and then he is in God. Another may live in a hut and wear rags, and have nothing in the world; yet, if he is selfish, he is intensely merged in the world.

For some, the whisperings of spirit are subtle and creating gentle openings of the heart. For others, the call of spirit resounds more loudly and may emerge out of a challenge or crisis situation, which opens the to new possibilities that would otherwise not be considered.

The voice of spirit speaks uniquely in each soul. It may be creative inspiration that emerges, or an that creates a desire to share and give more to others. It may come through a healing relationship which transforms life totally and unexpectedly. Inner wisdom and intuition can flower in the most unusual of circumstances, as God is always speaking to us through both our inner and our outer lives.

The voice of spirit may act as a wake up call, to illuminate aspects of ourselves that are out of balance. Like a shining beacon of light, it can reveal and transform the hidden corners of ourselves, that have carried large burdens for a long time. God's light can act as a catalyst to undo past mistakes and past choices, to and create a renewed sense of healing and harmony.

There is a process of spiritual awakening that is happening on the right now, which is still rather invisible to outer eyes, but which many are beginning to feel in their hearts. Our priorities are shifting, and life is asking us to love more, to let go of old grudges and pain, and to move forward in life with consideration and awareness of the Earth and the others in our lives.

No longer are we focused solely on ourselves and our own gratification. It is clear that in order to move into the future on this planet, we need to develop and nurture a respect for life, for the Earth, and for the other souls that share this planet with us. For each of us, this involves changes in the ways we live our lives, and in the ways we relate to others.

One day, this new spiritual consciousness will no longer be invisible, and the world as we know it will be transformed. Spiritual consciousness will not be separate from physical life, but an integral part of life. Spiritual consciousness will shared among all living beings, and will be understood as the foundation upon which we build our lives on the Earth. This process has begun and is now catapulting us forward into one of the most significant times in the history of humanity.
