Body

You know that exercise is good for you, but everyone knows it hurts and is not enjoyable while you are doing it, which gives you the perfect reason not to do it, right? If you've ever wondered how exercise could be a joy and a pleasure instead of a burden and a pain, wonder no more, just click here to find out how.


Mind

"In this moment you can realize what does not need to be practiced to exist. This is the easiest, simplest, and most obvious truth. What has kept it a secret throughout the ages is its absolute simplicity and its immediate availability. This simplicity is difficult, because we are taught from childhood that to achieve something, we have to learn what the steps are and
then practice them. This works beautifully for any number of things. The mind is an exquisite learning tool. But self-realisation, as well as the deepest inspiration and creativity, come directly from the source of the mind. Realisation does not come from any doing; it comes from surrendering the mind to the source."  - Gangaji -- The Diamond In Your Pocket (www.gangaji.org)

The mind is a beautiful tool, but when it is who you think you really are, it becomes dysfunctional and insane. The insane thoughts of insane minds lead to all the insane actions we see in the world. All problems are created by the mind, so the solution to all problems lies in accessing what lies beyond the mind - love, joy, beauty, peace and serenity. Taking responsibility for the thoughts of your own mind by realising there is something far deeper and more powerful than the mind from which they arise is the best (and only) way you can do your part to make yourself and this world sane. If everyone was able to do this one simple thing today, the world would transform overnight! 

(Why not forward this message on to all the people you know and do your bit to make this a saner, more loving world.)


Heart  

"Emotional Intelligence is a master aptitude, a capacity that profoundly affects all other abilities, either facilitating or interfering with them."  - Daniel Goleman -- Emotional Intelligence, p. 80.

In a 1994 report on the current state of emotional literacy in the U.S., author Daniel Goleman stated:

"...in navigating our lives, it is our fears and envies, our rages and depressions, our worries and anxieties that steer us day to day. Even the most academically brilliant among us are vulnerable to being undone by unruly emotions. The price we pay for emotional literacy is in failed marriages and troubled families, in stunted social and work lives, in deteriorating physical health and mental anguish and, as a society, in tragedies such as killings ..." 

Goleman says that the best remedy for battling our emotional shortcomings is preventive medicine. In other words, we need to place as much importance on teaching our children the essential skills of Emotional Intelligence as we do on more traditional measures like IQ and GPA.

Soul

"If you look within rather than only without, however, you discover that you have an inner and an outer purpose, and since you are a microcosmic reflection of the macrocosm, it follows that the universe too has an inner and outer purpose  inseparable from yours. The outer purpose of the universe is to create form and experience the interaction of forms - the play, the dream, the drama, or whatever you choose to call it. Its inner purpose is to awaken to its formless essence." 
                                                                                                        -- Eckhart Tolle - A New Earth (www.eckharttolle.com)

The reconciliation of outer and inner purpose is to bring the essence Eckhart Tolle speaks about above - consciousness - into the world of form and thereby transform it. The ultimate purpose of that transformation goes far beyond anything the limited human mind can grasp. And yet that transformation through the reconciliation of outer and inner purpose, the reconciliation of the world and soul, is the task allotted to us all at this time on this planet.
