FROM DISCONTENT TO GRATITUDE 92 The Sahasrara Chakra Instant Tools for Blissful Living M

ost of us feel that we are not living up to our potential. We feel that we can be greater than we are right now. We feel that with a little more energy, we could achieve great things if only we could get over some of our fears or stop worrying about the future! We know that life could be a blissful experience if only things would work out a little more smoothly.

Your energy is tied up in the negative aspects of the chakras - the subtle, powerful energy centers that are responsible for all the powerful emotions we face every moment - fear, greed, lust, worry, longing for love, jealousy, discontentment.

What you are holding in your hand is a practical book of exercises and techniques you can apply in your day-to-day living to clear the chakras and allow the natural flow of energy through them. These techniques are contained in a much larger book, Guaranteed Solutions by a young enlightened master, Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

Guaranteed Solutions is based on the transcripts of a series of meditation workshops Nithyananda has given in a program called Life Bliss Program Level 1. The exercises, practices and meditations from the book, Guaranteed Solutions have been culled and placed together here to create a workbook. There are also diagrams for each of the chakras , showing the key factors at play in the dynamics of the emotions.

This day-to-day handbook is a comprehensive collection of all the chakra meditations, anytime-anywhere meditations and practical, simple yet powerful awareness techniques aimed at helping you absorb and implement the understandings introduced in the Life Bliss Program Level 1. Here are some suggested usage models for this guide:

r You can choose to do one or more techniques everyday for a particular chakra for 21 days. Then you can move on to a different chakra based on your perceived need.

rYou can open the book to any page randomly. Follow the awareness practice on that page for the next 3 days.

Meditation is not just sitting with closed eyes or being relaxed. It is a way of living. Living every moment of life with intense excitement is what meditation is. There are meditation techniques to experience the awareness and bubbling bliss that is inherent in us every single moment of our lives, and there are techniques which help us reconnect with ourselves and get back on the track of life.

.BENEFITS OF MEDITATION.

2. Relationships - Meditation inherently puts you in tune with yourself and others. The direct result of this is deeper, more meaningful interpersonal relationships with family, friends and with everyone you encounter in your daily life.

3. Intelligence - To work efficiently, one needs intelligence. Meditation ignites your innate intelligence which makes you more aware and sharp. A natural result of this is improved, efficient and yet seemingly effortless performance in whatever you do.

4. Creativity - Each of us holds within us an undiscovered treasure of talent and potential. Meditation reveals and helps you realize your inner talents and latent creativity.

5. Authenticity - Meditation allows you to touch base with the real you, and makes you realize your uniqueness. Self-confidence then becomes just a by-product.

6. Balance - Most of us live life as a roller-coaster ride, held in the sway of emotions ranging from worry, jealousy, discontentment, fear, anger, guilt, etc., over which we have no control. Meditation enables you to be centered in yourself, have a solid inner balance and thus, be the master of your own self.

7. RelaxationPeaceBliss - A natural by-product of meditation is something we spend almost a lifetime trying to attain: inner relaxation and peace. With meditation, you automatically drop out of the vicious cycle of fear, greed and stress, and enter the virtuous cycle of bliss.

8. Holistic Spiritual Growth - To measure intellect, we have IQ or Intelligence Quotient, which is measured by many standardized tests. Of late, another measure is gaining importance, especially in the corporate world, namely EQ or Emotional Quotient. However, the most important factor of our lives - inner satisfaction and fulfillment - is what matters at the end of the day. Meditation enhances this very important factor of life, SQ or Spiritual Quotient, besides increasing IQ and EQ.

9. Life - As of now, our mental setup is rigid and reflects our personality. Because of this self-image that we carry in our minds, we face a lot of troubles in life and are not able to enjoy life completely. Meditation simply reprograms the software of the mind so that you can live life completely.
