We are all trying very hard to be happy. It is the main goal of every human life. Happiness has some prerequisites such as security, safety, contentment, acceptance and love among others. Thus all day long, and even during our dreams, we work hard trying to find these very illusive and rare states of mind. Do you know many people who feel enough security, contentment, acceptance and love, in order to feel really happy most of the time? What is wrong then? Why are we not able to succeed in this effort? Continue reading “A25 Happiness Is Service: An analysis of how selfless service can be a path towards self-knowledge and happiness”

Many books and articles have been recently published by respected nuclear physicists presenting theories and explanations of reality which closely coincide with ancient spiritual truths. In this chapter we shall take a look at a recent theory presented by well known biologist Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, the former director of studies in biochemistry and cell biology at Cambridge University. The information and quotations concerning Dr. Sheldrake’s theories are taken from the article «BEYOND THE BRAIN’S BOUNDARIES» by Prof. John Gliedman in the February 1983 issue of Science Digest.

The free and correct flow of energy in the body is crucial to our well-being.

«How are you today?» «How are you feeling?» We ask and are asked these questions perhaps hundreds of times each week. It is usually the first thing we say to someone when we meet him. «How do you do?» Why do we ask this question so often? Why is it so important to us? Why is it the same greeting in almost all languages and cultures? What is so important about how we feel? And what do we mean when we ask about how one feels? What are we referring to? Continue reading “A74 The Science of Vitality – How we can create a vital body and mind”

Until recently scientists believed that atoms were the building blocks of the material world. Recently they realized that these “building blocks” are simply dense manifestations of energy. This energy is the basic creative “essence” behind this material universe. In the future they will realize that the creative source of this energy is consciousness and that consciousness is the causal factor of all that exists in all planes. Energy, however, plays an extremely important role as the connecting link between consciousness, thought and action in our material reality. Energy is the connecting link between the spirit, the mind and the body. When there is insufficient energy in the soul-mind-body system, then there will not be health, peace, clarity, happiness, love or effective functioning on any level. Continue reading “A26 Harmonizing Bioenergy: techniques for creating a vital and harmonious energy flow in our body and mind”

A human being is pretty much programmed, formed in his concepts about himself and the world around him by the age of eight. Most of the work which is done today by psychologists and psychiatrists is to solve the problems and fill the gaps left by the experiences of those earlier years. Wouldn’t it be better to pay more attention to how we bring up our children so that they might be stronger, more able, happier, more in harmony with themselves and their environment? The future of the world depends on our children. The quality of our children and their ability to create a better world depends on us, but not in the way most may think. Let us consider here how we can help our children and ourselves to find harmony, health and happiness.
