The Prayer
From Hinduism
Do everything with a mind that lets go.
Do not expect any praise or reward.
If you let go a little, you will have a little peace.
If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace.
If you let go completely, you will know complete peace and freedom.
Your struggles with the world
will have come to an end.
Amen

Slowly close your eyes and relax! Let yourself be in peace and enjoy this moment specially prepared for you! Relax your mind from thinking and let all your thoughts go away, far away from you! Relax all the parts of your physical body; this poor body is always working so hard! Let it relax! See yourself now standing in the middle of this hall where a strong energy of loving white light wraps all around! Slowly, slowly it takes you higher and higher. Feel your body getting lighter and lighter! Your body is now as light as a feather!
As you are going higher and higher see yourself going through different layers of colours, colours that are shiny, strong and vibrant as you have never seen them before on your physical plane.
See the red going through your body! It gives you a feeling of power to face all the challenges in your life! It is so warm! All around you now is full of red roses, look how beautiful they are, touch their petals and feel their velvety texture! Feel the energy they give you! They fill you with Calm, Passion and Blissfulness; they teach you not to neglect your body but see it as a medium for the transmutation of body and spirit together.
Now slowly you leave the red colour and you enter the orange one. You find yourself in the middle of marigold flowers! These flowers have the warmth of the Sun in them! You lie over them! An energy of joy! The joy for living, for being alive is now penetrating your body! It brings you enthusiasm to do better in your everyday life, it helps you to form better and more loving social relationships! This orange energy helps you against any physical inflammation and with the digestion of carbohydrates and protein.
You go higher now and as you do so you are going away from the orange and into the yellow colour. See yourself now in the middle of daffodils. They are so beautiful! Their yellow energy takes away all your anxiety and all your fears. It restores your feeling of security, your belief and trust and helps you grow in your spiritual path, it helps you reflect deeper into your everyday actions and decisions. This yellow energy helps all your chakras work properly with a strong force that brings you also more wisdom.
You decide now to go higher once more; when you reach your destination you find yourself standing in front of a beautiful and big golden door. As soon as you go near it, it opens. With happiness you find your guide waiting there for you. With a big and happy smile your Guide takes you by the hand and brings you to an open garden where a lot of figures are waiting for you. You realise that they are all your loved ones waiting happily to spend some time with you. Feel their love and their excitement to be with you again! You are so lucky to be surrounded with so much love! You sit there with them and you enjoy this very precious moments.
As you are sitting there, thoughts are now coming to you, thoughts of love and caring for all your loved ones, family and friends and whose names are in our Healing Book! You want to help them too to experience the healing energies you have just experienced. You present them to the Guides and you ask that they extend to them too, the healing energies you have just experienced. Bring these friends in your mind now and send them your love and healing….
We thank you Father for this beautiful energy that revitalises the mind, the body, the spirit and brings health to the physical body too. We thank you for extending this energy to all of us present and absent.
Your Guide takes you by the hand and tells you it is time for your return trip. You say good bye to all your loved ones who were there waiting for you in the garden, you thank them being there, for helping you and supporting you at your moments of need.
Now you make your way to the Golden door and there you thank your Guide for the healing and the meeting with your loved ones your Guide arranged for you. With your Guide’s blessing you are sent back on your return trip.
You exit from the Golden door and there the loving white energy wraps around you and slowly takes you down. Once more you go through the Yellow layer and then through the Orange and after you go through the Red you find yourself standing again in the middle of this hall. Slowly make your way back to your seat. See yourself once more sitting at the place you have started from.
Feel now your body becoming heavier and heavier, feel your heart beating stronger and stronger, feel yourself breathing heavier, feel the chair you are sitting on, feel your feet touching the ground. Move your fingers and your toes and when you are ready open your eyes and welcome back.
The Story
A limit of your Kindness
Recently Steve had a car accident. So he put his car in the garage to carry out the repair work. Since he had to go to the job daily, he decided that until the car is ready, he will travel by the metro train. One day, he noticed a homeless guy at the train station at night. He felt pity for him, so he gave him some change from his pocket.
The homeless guy thanked him for it. Next day again, he noticed the homeless guy at the same place. This time Steve though to get him something to eat, so he went outside the station and brought him a meal. The homeless guy thanked him for his kindness. But Steve got curious and asked him, “How did you get to this point?”
The homeless guy looked up at him and with a smile, he said, “By Showing Love.” Steve didn’t understand it, so he asked him, “What do you mean by that?” The homeless guy replied that “Throughout my whole life, I made sure that everyone was happy. No matter what was going right or wrong in my life, I always helped everyone.”
Steve asked him, “Do you regret it?” To which the homeless man replied, “No, It just hurts my soul that the very people I gave the shirt off my back to wouldn’t give me a sleeve of that same shirt when I was in need. Son, It is better to build your own house and invite someone in for shelter than to hand them your bricks while you are building yours. Because one day you will turn around and look at the spot where you had planned to build your house. It will be an empty lot. Then you are the one looking for bricks.”
Steve understood what the homeless guy meant and thanked him for the good advice.
Moral: Helping others is not a bad thing at all. But Sometimes, while we are helping others, we forget our own problems and needs. One must remember that sometimes sharing is better than giving away. You can do a lot more by being in a strong position instead of bringing yourself into a weaker situation.
The joke
The local news station was interviewing an 80 year old lady because she had just gotten married for the fourth time.
The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new husbands occupation.
“He’s a funeral director” she answered.
“Interesting” the newsman thought...
He then asked her if she wouldn’t mind telling him a little more about her other three husbands and what they did for a living.
She paused for a few moments needing time to reflect on all those years. After a short while a smile came to her face as she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when she was in her 20’s. Then a circus ringmaster when in her 40’s. And a preacher when in her 60’s. And now in her 80’s - A funeral director.
The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished and asked her why she had married four men with such diverse careers.
I married one for the money...
Two for the show...
Three to get ready...
And four to go.
