ATMEN

ANNIE SULLIVAN & HELEN KELLER

Dr. Frank Mayfield was touring Tewksbury Institute when, on his way out, he accidentally collided with an elderly floor maid. To cover the awkward moment Dr. May field started asking questions.
"How long have you worked here?" "I've worked here almost since the place opened," the maid replied. "What can you tell me about the history of this place?" he asked. "I don't think I can tell you anything, but I could show you something." With that, she took his hand and led him down to the basement under the oldest section of the building. She pointed to one of what looked like small prison cells, their iron bars rusted with age, and said, "That's the cage where they used to keep Annie Sullivan." "Who's Annie?" the doctor asked. Annie was a young girl who was brought in here because she was incorrigible—nobody could do anything with her. She'd bite and scream and throw her food at people. The doctors and nurses couldn't even examine her or anything. I'd see them trying with her spitting and scratching at them.

"I was only a few years younger than her myself and I used to think, 'I sure would hate to be locked up in a cage like that.' I wanted to help her, but I didn't have any idea what I could do. I mean, if the doctors and nurses couldn't help her, what could someone like me do? "I didn't know what else to do, so I just baked her some brownies one night after work. The next day I brought them in. I walked carefully to her cage and said, 'Annie, I baked these brownies just for you. I'll put them right here on the floor and you can come and get them if you want.' "Then I got out of there just as fast as I could because I was afraid she might throw them at me. But she didn't. She actually took the brownies and ate them. After that, she was just a little bit nicer to me when I was around. And sometimes I'd talk to her. Once, I even got her laughing. One of the nurses noticed this and she told the doctor. They asked me if I'd help them with Annie. I said I would if I could. So that's how it came about that. Every time they wanted to see Annie or examine her, I went into the cage first and explained and calmed her down and held her hand. This is how they discovered that Annie was almost blind."

After they'd been working with her for about a year—and it was tough sledding with Annie—the Perkins institute for the Blind opened its doors. They were able to help her and she went on to study and she became a teacher herself. Annie came back to the Tewksbury Institute to visit, and to see what she could do to help out. At first, the Director didn't say anything and then he thought about a letter he'd just received. A man had written to him about his daughter. She was absolutely unruly—almost like an animal. She was blind and deaf as well as 'deranged.' He was at his wit's end, but he didn't want to put her in an asylum. So he wrote to the Institute to ask if they knew of anyone who would come to his house and work with his daughter. And that is how Annie Sullivan became the lifelong companion of Helen Keller. When Helen Keller received the Nobel Prize, she was asked who had the greatest impact on her life and she said, "Annie Sullivan." But Annie said, "No Helen. The woman who had the greatest influence on both our lives was a floor maid at the Tewksbury Institute."

One act of kindness leads to another!! Like a ripple, it spreads far and wide! Let's keep doing small acts of kindness.... we'll never know.... what ripples will be created and which life will be crafted by us!

Patience visited me
And it reminded me
That good things take time to come to fruition
And grow slowly with stability

Peace visited me
And it reminded me
That I may remain calm through the storms of life
Regardless of the chaos surrounding me

Hope visited me
And it reminded me
That better times lay ahead
And it would always be there to guide and uplift me

Humility visited me
And it reminded me
That I may achieve it
Not by trying to shrink myself and make myself less
But by focusing on serving the world and uplifting those around me

Kindness visited me
And it reminded me
To be more gentle, forgiving and compassionate toward myself
And those surrounding me

Confidence visited me
And it reminded me
To not conceal or suppress my gifts and talents
In order to make others feel more comfortable
But to embrace what makes me me

Focus visited me
And it reminded me
That other people’s insecurities and judgements about me
Are not my problem
And I should redirect my attention
From others back to me

Freedom visited me
And it reminded me
That no one has control over my mindset, thoughts and wellbeing
But me

And love visited me
And it reminded me
That I need not search for it in others
As it lies within me.

One of the biggest challenges for the enlightening human being is to let go of the old, deeply ingrained conditioning and belief systems that you have been entrenched in since childhood. For many, these belief systems were simply designed to make you obey and to keep you small and disempowered. It can be difficult to even recognize these insidious beliefs as they have been part of your earthly experience for so long, yet this is exactly what you must do. Ask yourself if your childhood conditioning supported you moving into your authentic power. If it did not, do not panic, Dear Ones. You can absolutely let these old thoughts and patterns go, but first you must identify what doesn't honour the truth of who you really are. How do you release them? It is through the recognition that they are not at all a match to who you really are that makes them lose their power and begins the releasing process. It will be easy to finally let these limiting energies go because your soul has been aching to identify them and release them all along.

*What is Meditation?*
----------------------------------------

This was a question haunting a small boy. His parents were at wit's end, as they could not explain it in a simple language the boy could comprehend.

Once the family went for a darshan to Shri Ramana Maharishi. The boy put forward his question to Ramana Maharishi.

Shri Ramana laughed to himself. Then with smiling face, he asked his devotee to serve the boy dosa from the kitchen.

So, on a plain leaf, a dosa was served. Shri Ramana looked at the boy and said,

*"Now I will say "Hmm." Then only you should start eating. Then again I will say "Hmm." After that no piece of dosa should be left on your plate."*

The boy agreed. He was so excited. Others were watching expectantly. Now the boy was eagerly waiting for the signal by looking at Shri Ramana's face. When he gave the signal *"Hmm"* the boy started eating. Now his attention was on Shri Ramana. He wanted to finish dosa before the signal.

The boy was eating dosa in a hurry, tearing big chunks of dosa, but, all the time keeping his attention on Shri Ramana. The dosa was reducing in size gradually. There was a small piece left.

The boy was looking anxiously at Shri Ramana for the second signal. The moment he gave the signal, the boy immediately put the dosa in his mouth.

Now Shri Ramana asked him,

*"Where was your attention till now? On me or on dosa?"*

The boy replied,

*"On both."*

Shri Ramana said,

*"Yes. You were actively involved in finishing dosa, with your attention on me. You were not distracted at all. Like this when you do your daily activities with your attention or thoughts on God in the back ground, it is known as meditation."*

The two signals *"Hmm"* are birth and death. Within these two events, one can engage in meditation, as demonstrated by Shri Ramana Maharishi. But to understand this we all need divine grace to mellow and mature.

We all differ from each other and hence take different time to comprehend this great truth.

"Leaking Bucket of Good Karma”

~ You wake up early morning trying to do your Pooja / Prayers /Yoga but your mind is elsewhere and before you know it, you're done with it, without being mindful of it. (A leaking bucket)

~ You're very kind to outsiders / people in general and speak with them gently, but with your own family you're always harsh / rude. (A leaking bucket)

~ You honour and treat your guests well but when they leave, you gossip about them and talk about their flaws. (A leaking bucket)

~ You try to read as much religious books, listen to Satsang /Keertan, participate in social services/ Sewa but you swear, insult, curse daily. (A leaking bucket)

~ You help others but you're doing it to gain something in return from them and not doing those acts of kindness selflessly. (A leaking bucket)

~ You frequently advice/preach others, but practice none yourself.
(A leaking bucket)

~ You slander other devout persons out of hatred/spite when your views do not meet one another. (A leaking bucket)

~ You look down on others and feel more superior than them, judging their level of knowledge, based on external appearances (A leaking bucket)

*We struggle to fill our "lives"(the bucket) with "earnings" of religion and knowledge (the water), hoping it will retain inside but it is leaked by the many flaws (the holes) that we commit daily.*

An excellent reminder for all to try and patch these holes up so we may progress further on this beautiful path of life.🙏🙏

“If you want to succeed in the practice of concentration, make it interesting. If you are interested enough in the object of your focus, concentration will be easy, and it can touch the deepest level of your consciousness. Understanding is a fruit of mindfulness and concentration. If you are not interested in something, you can never understand it. If you are not interested in someone, you can never understand them. If you are interested in them deeply, you will be mindful and concentrated, and it will be easy to find out all about them. When you are interested in something, when it is important to you, everything becomes interesting—a leaf, a pebble, a cloud, a pond, a person, a situation, your child. You feel eager to look deeply into all of these things, to find out their true nature. When concentration becomes easy, natural, effortless, it is true concentration.”

Thich Nhat Hanh in 'How to Focus'

September - 9 signals the completion of one cycle and the beginning of a new one.
The number nine carries the energy of every number that comes before it, as it is the last digit in the numerical sequence 0-9. Therefore, it is an accumulation of beginnings, middles and endings.

As it is the last number, its energy signifies conclusions, endings and closure, and also amazing new beginnings. The frequency of the number 9 mean we are likely now going through the completion of a particular and highly significant life cycle, however, completion does not necessarily mean finality.

Although there may be a major event or situation currently closing or reaching the end of its cycle, the energy it holds is so powerful that whatever appears to be reaching an end right now will not be destroyed entirely - instead we will notice there will be a transformation or transition to something new .

The energy of todays date marks the ending of one era, and a sudden shift into a new phase of our lives, where everything suddenly feels very different.
We will be reflecting on valuable lessons we have learned as we move forward with clarity and a sense of newness.

We are leaving behind the old and recognising that a significant change has occurred that has irrevocably altered us. 9 represents the culmination of a series of spiralling events that have gone through numerous ups and downs and twists and turns, before reaching an evolution stage where it is time to begin over.

Although 9 brings completion, the path is a continuous path, and as aspects of our lives abruptly close, new beginnings will mysteriously and quite miraculously unravel.

This is an extremely high vibrational energy and we will notice the energy surrounding us feels supercharged and possibly even a little chaotic as we take a leap into the unknown, toward new beginnings and unknown destinations.

We feel ready to release the past and open new doors, with the wisdom that the old ways of doing things no longer serves us.
This means we will no longer be caught in a perpetual cycle of repeating the same old mistakes that keep us trapped in unhealthy situations, relationships or mindsets.

We will be ready to shed old belief systems and harmful patterns of behaviours, and finally have the courage and determination to cut ties to whomever or whatever has been holding us back.

We will also find our dreams and intentions begin to manifest rapidly, as the Universe fully supports us in moving forward.
It is likely we will notice cycles we have been going through for either 9 weeks, 9 months or 9 years will be completing.

Or we will find that something is rapidly eliminated from our existence, leaving us feeling empowered and strengthened, regenerated and ready to explore new opportunities and experiences.

Attachments that, for a long period of time, we have been trying hard to let go of will unexpectedly fade away and we will feel freer, more liberated and fully open to welcome in a new beginning.

When the energy of 9 brings something to a sudden close, we may not have a clear vision of what the future holds, however we will likely feel a renewed sense of faith, excitement and hopefulness for what will come next.

Waves of grief and sadness for the past may come and go, particularly over these next few days, as we come to terms with the realisation that an era has ended and a new one has arrived, The mourning sensation we experience is less to do with an actual person or dynamic, but possibly more related to the fact that the old reality we had become comfortable with no longer exists and we are now being pushed to begin over on an unknown destined path, and unexpected change can feel challenging and quite unsettling at first.

We may find if there is unfinished business or loose ends that we have procrastinated tying up, the Universe will charge in quite unexpectedly and will rapidly gift us with that closure - whether we think we wanted it or not.

This is when trusting the Universe is vital, as sometimes what we think we want, isn’t always what’s good for us or what serves our highest good. If we don’t make much needed change, or proactively structure our lives, the Universe will certainly do it for us, mostly with a sharp, sudden shake.

Fortunately, as the number 9 carries such a high vibration, good luck, increased wealth, good fortune and amazing opportunities will be coming our way. If we take time out to meditate, or just gently attune to this energy, we will be rewarded with wisdom and clarity and possibly get a glimpse into how the next 9 weeks or 9 months will unravel.

Regularly seeing the number 9, or even 3s or 6s, means be prepared to expect an abundance of blessings and instant manifestation, particularly over the next 24-48 hours - and also on the 18th and 27th of this month. ~

Attracting something and going after it are two different things

Combining both is synergistically more empowering

Simply put

If you want better

What you want is resonating at a higher vibrational frequency

Get present

Follow your breath into your body

Listen

Do not allow thoughts to take you into the past or the future

Celebrate the awareness that identifies when this occurs

This pattern will repeat

Celebrate it when consciously aware

BE in your body

Give thanks for all you have
(Raise Your Vibration)

Envision want you want

Imagine as if

As if it just happened

Experience it

Make it real

Give thanks

Return to your breath

You will have aligned body and mind

Your Spirit will gift you your next step (the present found in the present)

It will be clear brief and profound

You must be fully present

Not the past or future

Silent/listen

The more often you do this

The clearer the connection with yourSelf WILL BE

❤️

Sit with your emotions as they arise, feel them, listen to them, appreciate them, but never run from them, because they'll track you down and haunt you until you are courageous enough to face them and ultimately learn the lessons that they hold 💖

HOW TO CREATE HAPPINESS!

Here are some practical ways to make your life happier. Some of them may seem silly or too simple. Others may seem very serious. But all of them work.

Take control of your worry - If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice. So, instead of worrying, think of what you can do to help yourself!

Go to bed on time - Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.

Learn to say NO - Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.

Delegate tasks to capable others - Simplify and unclutter your life.

Less is more. There is more to life than just work.

Create a buffer - Allow extra time to do things and to get to places -

Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.

Take one day at a time - Relax. Life is not to be lived in a rush.

Separate worries from concern

"True positive thinking is not the absence of negative thoughts. It's the ability to feel negative when you have to and still maintain enough hope to keep on going. Life throws us twist and turns that can make us feel bad. You don’t have to block negative feelings that simply show you are human. Just make the choice not to let them hold you back. A positive person never allows the reality of the moment to stop them from seeing a better future and climbing as many mountains as it takes to get there."

~Don Shapiro.

"We are in the state of massive flux and flow and the 5th to 7th Dimensional Earth is fully here and now, and we are literally being lifted ever higher and higher.
I have found in the last few weeks, that nothing is stable anymore. I am being pushed to be flexible, and not become rigid, but to rather allow all to unfold as it should.
The Old Structures and forms are being rattled, shaken, broken and dissolving, and there will be those souls who now desperately cling onto old power structures and forms and old patterns of control, and thus will find that nothing works anymore. The more they try to fix the cracks, the wider the cracks will become and more will appear.
We now need to consciously ask that all the old patterns, old fears, old belief systems, and old forms of thinking, acting, being, are dissolved, and whatever is still trying to keep us in the Old Earth and Old 3D, (and desperately trying to hold us there, so that we go down with them).
I had a message this morning which was profound, and just confirmed to me, again, that we are being assisted and watched over and that all we need to do, is ask for help and it shall be given, yet we also need to do the inner work which needs to done, so that we indeed allow our old Adam and Eve to totally dissolve, as we step into the New Life and New Beginnings, and New Lightbody form, and fully into the highest states of consciousness.
Affirmation: Say this 3 times out loud and only if you truly wish to leave the old behind forever.
“I AM commanding that all lesser pathways and the old matrix programming, and all which ever kept me in there, will now be closed. I am choosing to step fully into my soul mastery and in my new Lightbody form, and into the 5th and 7th dimensional state, with love, and wisdom.”
So much Love!

THE MOST POWERFUL MIRROR DATE OF THE YEAR IS 02/22/2022.

Absolutely mirror dates (palindrome) are a very rare event that does not occur every year. Just imagine... such a day will be repeated only in 180 years.

This incredible date 02/22/2022 is a turning point in the fate of each of us. The mirror date, saturated with the frantic energy of change, will divide the world into before and after. That is why esotericists and numerologists recommend to prepare and be attentive on this day! Everyone will have the opportunity to attract grandiose changes in their lives on this day. And for worse or for better, it will depend on your actions on this day!

But the magic of this date is not only in mirroring. According to the lunar calendar, this is also the 22nd lunar day. It turns out that this day is controlled not even by six, but by eight deuces. And as you know, eight is the number of Karma and the symbol of Infinity. So it is especially important to be careful in actions and words. On this day, they can either nullify karmic debts or increase them.

Two is a symbol of balance, good and evil, harmony and chaos are harmoniously intertwined in it. Try on this day to refrain from jealousy, envy, aggression, angry words, especially those spoken in a rush. Make peace with whom you find yourself in a quarrel, especially if it concerns close people and those who lived with you during the most difficult stages of your life, reach out first, ask for forgiveness.

On this day, the likelihood of life changes will increase. Each person will become closer to the realization of his dream or goal. Trust your intuition - on this day you will be visited by the necessary thoughts and ideas. Fate will favor in resolving issues that have bothered you for a long time.

It is believed that it is difficult to think of a better day to make a wish! It really is! The vector of the day is directed towards positive changes. The vibrations of twos are so strong that even a fleeting thought or an accidentally dropped word can come true. Be careful!

But it is equally important to write down your plans for the year ahead - feel free to write everything in detail, what would you like to see as a fait accompli in your life. But try to make your dreams as realistic as possible. After all, you have to implement them. The universe will only send the right people and circumstances. And also remember about the golden minute of this day - 22.22. When this moment comes on the clock, say out loud your most cherished desire!

And do not forget to thank the Universe for the help and wonderful events that will begin to happen in your life very soon. Believe in the power and kindness of the Universe and then you will inevitably achieve your dreams. Simple words "Thank you, Universe!" will be quite enough to maintain a balance in the energy exchange "received - give something in return"

02/22/2022 it is recommended to do any technique for the fulfillment of desires - all of them will be very effective!

💜💜💜🕊🌍🕊💜💜💜

For your body and soul

Prayer of Forgiveness

I forgive all those who I feel have harmed me, either knowingly or unknowingly.

I forgive my parents and those closest to me who have treated me in ways I didn’t like.

I forgive everyone who I believe has acted wrongly.

I lovingly let go of judgements that are holding me back from enjoying life to its fullest.

As I learn to forgive, I open myself to a life of pure joy and Happiness. I find the greatest result when I lovingly forgive and accept myself as I am.

As I eliminate anger and resentment, the warmth of love circulates through my mind, my body and my world.

The energy that I would have used in being angry, I now release in love.

I dismiss all tendencies to be angry, fearful, or resentful.
In exchange I am filled with faith, love and trust.

❤️💖❤️💖❤️

When your vagus nerve is not stimulated it is said to “be low.” When low, the nerve can’t effectively foster communication between the body and the brain. This not only contributes to digestive disorders, but can also affect other parts of your body including the heart, liver, kidneys and even the tongue. A vagus nerve disorder can even contribute to high blood pressure. It is also part of the sympathetic nervous system, responsible not only for digestion but for emotional well-being.

So, how do you strengthen or tone your vagus nerve? One way is to have a physician apply electric pulses directly to the nerve. No thank you! Another proven and effective way to the tone the vagus nerve is to practice yoga or meditation.

*Brothers who co-founded a $100 million company say this question their mom asked every night at dinner is what inspired their business*

Bert and John Jacobs, the brothers who co-founded the $100 million Life Is Good T-shirt company, grew up the youngest of six children in a lower middle-class family in Boston.

When the brothers were in elementary school, their parents were in a near-death car accident from which their mother managed to escape with just a few broken bones — but their father lost the use of his right hand.

The stress and frustration from his physical therapy caused him to develop a harsh temper, they explain in their new book "Life Is Good."

"He did a lot of yelling when we were in grade school," John told Business Insider. And life certainly wasn't perfect.

"There were often difficult things happening around the house," the brothers write.

_But their mom, Joan, still believed life was good. So, every night as the family sat around the dinner table, she would ask her six kids to tell her something good that happened that day._

*"As simple as mom's words were, they changed the energy in the room," the brothers write. "Before we knew it, we were all riffing on the best, funniest, or most bizarre part of our day."*

_John says that this daily exercise prevented them from developing a victim's mentality of "Oh, you wouldn't believe this horrible thing that happened to me today." Instead of griping about a teacher or homework assignment, he says that they would be laughing about a silly haircut a classmate got that day, or a neat project they worked on at school._

*"That optimism was something that our family always had, even when we had little else," they write.*

Growing up with a mother like theirs — one who sang in the kitchen, told animated stories, and acted out children's books for them, no matter what bad situation they were going through — taught them an important lesson: *Being happy isn't dependent on your circumstances.*

_"She showed us that optimism is a courageous choice you can make every day, especially in the face of adversity."_

They say her unwavering positive outlook on life is what inspired Life Is Good — their $100 million company the mission of which is to spread the power of optimism, with the tagline, *"Life is not perfect. Life is not easy. Life is good."*

Since their mother's daily question served them so well in life, John says he and his brother now ask their employees the same thing when they all come together — *"Tell me something good"* — and the results have been positive. "It leads to ideas, which lead to progress, which leads to building on successes, instead of dwelling on challenges."

*Try this at your home and/or office and see the difference....*

*Life is Good!*

Have a great day !!!!

Affirmation of the day :
*My day begins and ends with gratitude.*

This is most beautiful I have ever heard

*"Does God exists: A Lovely parable from "Your Sacred Self" by Dr. Wayne Dyer*

In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?”The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”

“Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”

The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”

The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded

The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.”

The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover if there is life, then why has no one ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”

“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”

The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”

The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would not and could not exist.”

Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”

To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.”

May be this was one of the best explanations to the concept of 'GOD'.
