May U choose 2 B happy, MAY U choose 2 B free of suffering (sources of suffering = body and/or mind, merely 2 of our 19+ employees, not who we are),
May U choose 2 find balance, live the width and length of life in a life serving manner with “balance” rather than merely being unengaged, life alienating, spectator,
May U choose 2 live life, how a river flows, carried by the surprises of it's own unfolding (John O'Donohue)!
I was introduced to Kriya YOGA when reading “the untethered soul”, author: Micheal Singer, www.tou.org which led me to the “Surrender Experiment” which led me to “the Autobiography of a Yogi”, author ✍️ Paramanhansa Yogananda, www.Yogananda.org, Self Realization Fellowship.
Some of our 19+ personal employeeS, assistants, include our ABTs:
1. our awarenesses
2. our breath
3. our thoughts (t)
4. our anger,
5. ANYthing we accumulate,
6. our depression (self will regarding the present moment),
7. our emotions = (thoughts + feelings)
8. our energy body,
9. our fears (self will regarding the future),
10. our imagination,
11. our memories,
12. our mind,
13. our physical body,
14. our physical energies,
15. our resentments (self will regarding the past),
16. our sensory body,
17. our self pity (self will regarding the present moment),
18. our suffering (body or mind’s thoughts)
19. our words,
Fortunately we can EACH employ our ABT’s {awarenesses plus our breath, plus our thoughts} to move from untruths to truth.
Sadhguru introduced me to Isha Kriya yoga, a fabulous opportunity to end suffering of the mind, the body. Curiously, what other suffering exists?
Sadhguru liveS a life of service, planting millions of trees, just for example. He recently published the text, “Karma”.
Another worthy read includes his manual 4 living, “Inner Engineering: A Yogi's Guide to Joy”, aka unconditional happiness.
Sadhguru’s numerous talks, www.insighttimer.com, www.isha.sadhguru.org, www.innerengineering.com, www.Ishafoundation.org, www.ishahomeschool.org and other efforts (U-tube videos) remind us that, “As there is a science and technology to create external well-being, there is a whole dimension of science and technology for inner well-being.” Self responsibility rocks!

“ ..... Acceptance is the answer to ALL my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation- some fact of my life -unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it was is supposed to be at this moment. Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in GOD’s world by mistake. Until I could accept my ______ {ANY compulsivities including alcoholism, debting, drugging with nicotine etceteras, hoarding, overeating, www.oahop.org, tardiness etceteras}, I could NOT ____ {experience abstinence, sanity to ANY degree, stay sober, timeliness etceteras}; unless I accept life completely on life’s terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and my in attitudeS.” (Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book, pg 417, paragraph 1).
May U choose to live without regret(S). As a hospice nurse, www.bronnieware.com, identified 5 MAJOR regrets:
1. I wish I had the courage to live a life TRUE to myself, NOT the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I had the COURAGE to not work so hard.
3. I wish I had the COURAGE 2 express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish I had the COURAGE 2 let myself B happier! My prayer 4 you as U march 4ward is that this list of regrets is not your list of regrets!
Fortunately, the RECOVERED 100 (pages 1-103, VFU chapter, pgs 567-8, www.aa.org) shared a “way of living that has its advantages for all {pg xiii, paragraph 1”} so that lives can be solution oriented, of service, rather than burdened with self-will, BEing self-serving and self-seeking! enJOY the journey!
Resentment= self will regarding the past,
FEAR(s) = (False Experiences Appearing Real) = self will regarding the future,
self-pity and depression = are frequently indicative of self-will in this present, precious moment VERSES “how can I B of service”?
