Anouradha Bakshi - March 02, 2007
A friend helping me to deal with my plethora of stress related impediments suggested I repeat one of Deepak's affirmation i.e the best thing that can happen to me is happening right now.
Easily said than done when the 'now' is often a time when everything seems to conspire against you, or so you think even if it is pure trivia like the milk boiling over as the baby cries and the doorbell rings and you drop the precious artefact you were holding. In those moments everything seems to be wrong and it is quite human to wonder how Deepak's affirmation works then!
I sat a long time staring at my screen where I had added that very affirmation on a picture of St Exupery's Little Prince. Slowly my mind went back to a post I had written on this very blog about a farmer and a potter and the wisdom of surrendering one's self to a higher being who knew better.
I felt a little sheepish as I was caught in the proverbial: practice what you preach condition as what the affirmation said was very close to what I had so grandly stated!

Try to float in the sky like clouds?? What is that?:-)
Hi Innocent,
You are too innocent.
The easiest way to feel light, meditate and feel at ease without stress is to feel that we are cloud and are floating in the sky, very light, without any burden and without any stress.

Dear Anou--exhaustion and sleeplessness breeds doubt and fear; so I hope you are able to get proper rests and sleep.
It is odd; but, quite often when we are not even looking; those affirmations kept safely, in the back of our mind; are already forming self-defense mechanisms; to get us through whatever it is, we struggle with; at any given moment.
Everything you do, is for and with the higher power; and the road you chose to walk on, is a stressful one; yet, so rewarding too...just look back, on all the lives you saved, and made a difference in, and it will give you the lift, to continue your dedicated work.
with loving kindness,

Higher power! Right! My higher power can't even raise from dead anymore (that's what I heard anyway, from somebody who heard from somebody who saw something about it on the Today Show). What's the point.
I'm going back to hookers and beer. I wonder if Bill Maher is busy tonight.
Right, Anou!
It kind of levels the playting field, doesn't it?
And then you realize the whole idea that the playing field was not level was an ego-illusion to begin with...
Cheers,
Yogi
Hi Anou,
I have the same affirmation on a piece of paper taped under my screen. I wrote it down one day when it seemed to be the most absurd affirmation, and somehow, through the ups and downs, given enough time ... it has always proven to be true.
Sheep come from Australia don't they, or I always thought so, but then again I believe The Cook Islands were the first country to have sheep in the entire world and then they gradually spread like a disease,oh well.
That's life I guess and I hear spindle making, sowing is quite a past time, HEHEHE, Anyway, God Blesses and Curses I suppose but everyones safe here I guess, 'cause we all know the Deepak family, but I mean haven't we all given them enough sheeps dung to last a few millenium, man, oh man peace to the brothers whose chords are playin' if you know what I mean Mr Batman! HARHAR.

Beaten Trap, Track, UU UU.
Dear anou.. you are one of the few here at IB, whom actually work in the trenches with poor people, and desperately abandoned, sick children. I bow in your direction; for the path you chose to walk on, is a difficult one; and you are certainly entitled to some doubts now and then, as fatigue creeps up on your bones... just always know anou....that you are a special woman, a special doctor, and a special friend...to so many whom know your kind heart!!
with loving kindness,
North

Hello Anouradha,
Life is a classroom, stress and pain are our teachers, mistakes are experiences, problems are challanges.
Meditation and Bhagwat Geeta are great stress reliever.
Try to float in the sky like clouds.
