JOYOUS TRANSFORMATION

Fixed expectation of a certain thing or happening gives you the impression, that both time is standing still and that the moments until the desired thing finally comes seem tiresome, pointless or even downright dreary. Because waiting and expectation as such are causing an inner tenseness, which spreads and thus affects its surroundings. There is a positive and a negative kind of tension but in many peoples lives the negative kind appears to occur more frequently. And even if you yourself have resolved all tendencies towards actively experiencing negative tensions in your thoughts and emotions, you can hardly help coming into touch with other peoples energy fields. Just think of a queue in a supermarket or traffic jams... So in everyday life there are inevitably situations occurring in which you are being forced to wait - possibility surrounded by others who are tensed up about it or even yourself feeling stressed by it. However what you are doing with the tension you are sensing in yourself and/or the one in your environment is entirely up to you.
Either way, there is a very simple and powerful way to turn such tensed up situations from stressful moments into up-liftig experiences. Joy and especially joy, which is being shared has a transforming power. If joy, which in itself has a releasing effect on tension, is being brought to act upon tension it is dissolved into a sparkling firework of happiness. Moreover is joy making you forgetful of time and the fact that you are actually awaiting something. So the choice is yours, whether you wish to turn your life into a pleasurable experience by employing each situation of tension to create positivity.

To illustrate this - take a crowded platform at a train station, where the train is due late for an uncertain period of time and everyone is irritated and impatient about this. And in addition they are also silently antagonistic towards the other waiting travellers because they are imagining them taking away their coveted seat on the train to arrive.
In such moments, time seems to be standing still and even if the delayed train does finally arrive, no one can feel gladness at this because they are too deeply immersed in their negative emotions and thoughts. In fact their irritation would probably even be increased because now they are no longer able to breathe fresh air, which has a calming effect of the nerves, but are instead shut in and in even closer proximity to their fellow passengers than before.
But how different can such a situation turn out, if one of the waiting passengers on the platform suddenly starts laughing for him-self at the whole scenario? Or if two of them get talking to each other making fun about it and laughing to together or about any other shared joy? Joy and amusement would spread amongst the waiting crowd and all of them could momentarily forget their unpleasant situation. And once the train finally arrives, they would all board it as a group, all happily relieved  and peacefully inclined towards their fellow passengers, even towards those who are "taking away" their seat.

ALWAYS A WAY

There is always a way out of any situation in life. If at times you feel there is none it is because you are staring straight ahead believing to be infallibly sure of your next step. Instead of allowing yourself the possibility to turn around a walk back a few steps from whence you came from and simply observe your prior position from this little distance. Or to look left and right instead of believing there is only one possible direction in which it is possible to walk in - or that you must go that way and no other for some reason.

TRUE SPIRITUALITY

True spirituality is a 24/7 task and not a weekend occupation to be enjoyed at leisure. Contrary to the view the purely materialistically minded individuals take, to be spiritual does not imply one dodges life's responsibilities. In fact, the opposite is the case. To turn one's steps towards the spiritual pathway in life is a sign of inner strength and means that one is finally willing to grow up and accept one's responsibilites. However atuning your-self to the Divine Light and reaching out to the spiritual heights does not have the immediate effect of instilling eternal light-heartedness and blissfulness in your heart and mind (- although the media are doing their best to promote this idea). In order to attain to such a state of Being, fortitude, endurance and faith are required, because along this pathway there are personal shadows to be faced and many a dark wilderness of the soul to be traversed. Especially at the onset of the spiritual path of Light it may appear ...

NATURAL SHARING

We are all part of an integrated whole and as such share our unconscious as well as our conscious aspects of self. To be blissfully living with our self and in the world transforms us to channels of love, peace and freedom. Therefore, in being consciously aware of the moment and its beauty we are naturally and effortlessly sharing with everyone that, which is most precious in life - love.
