Self Transformation (Change)
We nourish the soul by going into the depths of silence and learning to love and appreciate the self. Giving time to do this will bring about a change in how we go about doing things, and this will start to show itself in improved relationships and in quality of life. By adopting a systematic and practical approach, we can assist the changes we wish to bring about in our life, otherwise old patterns of behaviour and the influences of the world will weaken our determination and efforts, like the sea tide washing away a sandcastle.
Here are some practical reminders and steps we can take to grow spiritually and bring out transformation (change) in ourselves:
Create a space for silence
Creating a space for inner silence is important and we can also create a corner area or a room used only for this purpose. In that place there is the opportunity, for instance, each morning to prepare for the coming day and, in the evening, to unburden the mind of any wasteful thoughts and feelings that have accumulated during the day.
(To be continued tomorrow..)

Message for the day 29-01-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
Bring about true change with a firm promise to yourself to change.
Expression: When you find that there is a need for you to change some aspect in yourself, check how strong your thought is. Check if your words are 'I'll try to change or is it I promise to myself I will change.'
Experience: Take any aspect that you would like to change in yourself and take a firm promise to really bring about the desired change. Also remind yourself of your promise each day so that it is further strengthened.
