Leadership Swami

By Virtuality Studio

 Weve all heard the sayings, “you reap what you sow,” and “you get back what you give,” but how many of us have actually taken that advice to heart? The concept of karma wasnt created merely to teach people how they should treat each another, it is a description of the way we create our own realities. What we give out we do indeed receive back in one form or another. This holds true whether it be in thought or in action and it is how the law of attraction works.

So how do you make karma work for you instead of against you? The answer is simple: control your thoughts and actions. Make every effort you can to think positively and always act from your heart. Who you are on the inside is far more important than how you appear outwardly. If you are unsure of where you stand, just ask yourself the following questions:

Am I judgmental of myself or others? If yes, dont only change the words you speak, but if you notice yourself even thinking negative judgments about someone, immediately stop and look for something nice to think about them. Remember that what you think is just as powerful as what you say or do. Learn to control it.

Am I selfish, rude or inconsiderate? Learn to be more thoughtful of other peoples needs and feelings. Think most how you would feel if the tables were reversed before acting at all times. Dont be a user, liar, or cheat. Dont abuse or take advantage of other people. Always treat every other person as you would want to be treated. This does not mean that you need to be a doormat or do things that are not in your best interest, always strive to keep the balance.

Am I kind, compassionate and generous? Learn to be kind and compassionate on all levels of your being. When you do something for someone, or give a gift, make sure that it comes from your heart. Be there for your friends and family when they need you. Love fully and deeply. Be compassionate toward all people and all of our animal friends we share this world with as well. True kindness and compassion does not see color, sex, age, status, beauty or even species. True kindness and compassion are two of the most important things we can ever master in our lifetime and the rewards can be tremendous.

Am I an optimist or pessimist? It is always better to have a positive outlook than a negative one. What we give out (our thoughts and expectations as well as our actions) is what we will receive. Would you rather receive the results of positive thinking or negative thinking? The choice is yours.

Am I grateful? Learn to practice gratitude for everything in your life, including the little things. Graciously accept gifts and help as they are given to you. Most importantly, be grateful for the loved ones you have in your life as they are your greatest gifts from the universe.

Do I have faith? Learn to be at peace with where you are right now, even if it isnt as you had planned. Learn to trust the universe to guide you toward your highest fulfillment, even when it has to drag you through the mud to get you there. Always have faith and know that everything is as it needs to be for your greatest good.

What we experience in life is the product of everything we have ever thought, said or done. Learn to focus on the positive, be compassionate, gentle, loving and kind. When you can learn to truly live this way, from the inside out, karma will always be on your side.

Techniques of Maintaining the Fitness of the Body

By Paul Strachocki

 In order to have a truly full and happy life, we have to set definite fitness goals for the body. Nutrition, good health, and habits are among the requirements needed to reach this goal. The path towards our fitness goals should include choosing and following a proper diet with the right balance of vitamins and minerals, getting the right kind of exercise, and having adequate time for sleep and rest. Fitness encompasses the physical, mental and spiritual healthy. Once we attain a good level of fitness, we will become more capable of dealing with the problems of life.

Most people dream of being as fully fit as possible. One workout session at the gym or a walk around the block is not enough to attain this state. Both our physical and mental functions should be at their highest levels. Many of us are already aware of the importance of our daily intake of food, vitamins and water, and other factors in attaining our bodys fitness. We are now faced with the problem of how we can make the body adapt to dealing with daily life.

Physical exercise is a very important factor in maintaining an ideal healthy condition. It works hand in hand with nutrition and physical and mental health, the functions of which are responsible for making a body whole. The absence of regular physical activity is definitely a deterrent in attaining the fitness of the body.

Oftentimes the cardiovascular condition and the weight of the person are used as bases for judging the fitness of a person. This is a false concept because the body has many other organs which should also be fit and in good condition. Only then can a person be considered completely fit. To achieve this, you should participate in regular physical exercises that involve the entire body. Rest at regular intervals and nutrition should be incorporated in the exercise routine as well, making sure that healthy functions of the body are maintained and complete fitness is attained.

Starting good health practices early in life is essential in giving a person a long lease on a happy and fit life. You should avoid abusing your body and acquiring bad habits so that it will be easier for you to maintain a good level of fitness. A person who has led an unfit lifestyle for years will find it really hard to switch to a better and healthier life.

The human body is considered to be the most complex and powerful of all machines, but it is definitely not invincible. We need to take measures to keep it fit and in good condition to be able to function well. The physical body is like a temple which should be protected and attended to with the utmost care. The body is composed of ones mind and soul, and if kept fit, it operates like a well-oiled machine. Every part has its own special function and works in harmony with all its other numerous parts. We should love and care for our physical body to keep it running like a regular machine. If we are able to do this and maintain the fitness of our body, we can reap hundreds of health benefits in the future.

By Paul Strachocki

 It has been proven that meditation is the best exercise to keep our minds fit and healthy. With meditation, countless people have eliminated stress and made considerable improvements to their state of being. Fitness of the mind in effect has given the human race happiness and peace within. What we have to achieve in our lives is a fit and healthy mind that functions well despite the stress that we encounter everyday, allowing us to be able to accomplish the things that we need to accomplish.

We should always at all times find ways and means to take care of our mind. If we neglect to do so, our mind, just like our body, without the proper care and attention will deteriorate. The mind works overtime on a daily basis and like a machine it can wear down because of excessive use. Meditation is a method where it can keep the mind in good condition. We dont really know the capacity of our minds but what we know is that it also gets tired and it also needs the proper care and attention that in order for it to stay healthy and fit.

In our everyday busy life, our brain goes through different levels of brain wave activity. It receives a lot of information that makes it work overtime. We dont really know how much it can take but it can become too much for the brain if it doesnt get any rest. The brain uses meditation to attain some kind of serenity. In this way the mind can rest and be in peace, as well as receive the necessary care and attention. This will help maintain a proper fitness of the mind that makes the brain function well.

The power of energy moves all throughout our body, including the mind. This constant flow of energy helps the bodys nervous system in carrying out communication to the brain. When the mind is moved to have an increase in activity, what it needs is meditation to ensure that it will function well and stay fit. Among the most important factors to consider are the different tools in meditation that we can use. The most popular ones are breathing techniques, music, aromatherapy, candle therapy and many more. These methods can help recharge the mind and give it the proper care it needs.

Neural pathways are essential for sending out information from the nervous system to the mind. A healthy mind increases the capacity of the brain to function well. Mental disorders happen when there is a lack of time and effort to maintain the minds fitness. Fitness of the mind is an awareness too of what the brain needs to make it fit. When we apply methods to make our minds fit and we take time to do so we achieve a more fruitful and healthier life. All it takes is time and a little bit of practice.

Sometimes, we forget that in order to have the fullest life possible, we need to have a healthy mind as well as a healthy body. Fitness of the mind boils down to making our mind fit enough for it to function well. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life we need to take a step back and listen to the needs of our mind. Fitness of the mind enhances the quality of life.
