If you are going through a harsh moment and if you can accept that, you will be surprised that suffering gets diluted. It becomes thinner. The problem was an illusion. However, when you go and try to resolve the problem, then the yogic experience begins...

Suffering is a part of human experience. As much as we seek pleasure, we also encounter pain, misery, failure and disappointments. We focus more on pleasure, happiness, but it is only valued after going through some difficulties.

The desire of achieving transformation should be pursued, repeated and that becomes like a mantra, almost. You have to chase it up. If you want to achieve something, it is possible, but you have to trust yourself.

Take a pause and be there where you are. It is an indication you shouldn’t be proceeding further because you’re lost and you’re...that means your awareness it’s not functioning because it’s blocked.

As humans, we are allowed to do so many things, and we can raise our own senses, intellect, undoubtedly thinking, we can transcend the physicalness a just amount, beyond mental planes. We can transform ourselves, But we can’t transform ourselves just on our own, we need reflection of our presence, our activities, our thoughts, words and much more.

In some areas of life we do have free will or freedom of choice. In many other areas no. Freedom of will means it is really a very big power to humans, a big opportunity for humans really to expand and to carry out their desires and dreams, expressing themselves profoundly in the world.

Intuition is feeling based, not technical. Begin placing the hands in the chest area, it may look very simple, but it’s very profound, when you do it consciously with your involvement emotionally. Then simply become united with it, and experience the touch. Discover ways to recognize it It will be there to guide you

In our conscious awareness we have two faculties: intellectual faculty and intuitive faculty. Time is coming in which intuition will propel human kind to become more intuitive or to explore this part of human consciousness.
