The question is, has the world gone nuts? It certainly looks like a lot of people are being driven by fear, hatred and greed. The rising anger and animosity, is to the detriment of us all. Is it not time for some real sanity?

At the Heart & Soul Center we first saw a woman we knew leaving with bruises all over her face. However, an Indian man quickly replaced her as he came towards us and introduced himself as Deepak Chopra.

when we are stressed, we lose the simplicity of being present and dealing with what is in front of us with clarity rather than confusion.

A quiet mind is peaceful, joyful and compassionate, because these qualities already exist within us all. Meditation simply enables us to connect to them.

A vivid life of abundance is available to ALL of us. I believe it’s our birthright. Ive lived both sides of the coin. Pretty dramatically. And believe me, it’s much better in the light. I have created EVERYTHING I’ve EVER wanted in my life, by focusing on what I want. By safe guarding my happiness. By shifting my mindset and focusing on the good in my life. On the abundance. On the love. On the flow. On the beauty. On the vivid life that I always wanted and now have.

Is there actually any real difference between one part of our being and another or is the only difference the means of expression?

When fear is in control we become resistant to change and spontaneity; we get angry and defensive, reinforcing separateness, isolation and enmity. Fear arises when the ego-mind is threatened, making us reject anything that is unfamiliar; in so doing we surrender our sensibility and compassion.

Mudita encourages us to look at these places that are wrapped up in ego, such as jealousy, envy, judgment and comparison. We get to see how jealousy doesn’t get us anywhere other than into further pain and suffering, as it takes us out of the present and we get lost in the future, in the ‘what if’.
