What is life?
Life is so short but yet life is so beautiful. Life is a moment and moments are flickering. Life is a moment and moments are transient, changeable. Life is a beauty but it withers away. Life is a smile but it fades out. Life is a blossom but it dries out.
Again I repeat the question, what is life? Life is a cascade but yet it dwindles out. Life is a stream flowing endlessly but yet it dries away one day.
So these flickering moments, changing times, moving moments, an existence has to be explored which doesn’t change, does not wither, does not dry up, there is not a moment where there is ‘the end’ to that existence.
There is a beautiful saying of a woman mystic of Rajasthan; a small, at one time princely state of India, the queen mystic - Meera. Meera says: who will enjoy the essence of life? And she answers herself, “One who has drunk the cup of divinity will enjoy the life”. One whose cup is not full of divinity will never, never enjoy life.
Yoga Nidra releases all types of tensions- muscular, emotional and mental tensions.

Stop thinking about others, stop discussing others and stop talking about others. Whenever thoughts of others begin to arise in your mind, then use the sword of knowledge to chop off the heads of those thoughts, saying, "I am not going to think about others." When you quit thinking about others, when you set your mind absolutely free from others, then you become an aspirant, a discoverer, a saadhak in the real sense.
"Be a witness to your mind and then only you come to know that you and your mind are different entities."
Make a resolve, “I am not going to discuss others”. Sit with someone thinking that “I will surely talk, but today I will not talk about others.” Other means anybody other than the two of you. Even God & Guru come in the category of others. Do talk but the topic of your conversation must not be ‘others’. Then there will be nothing to talk about.

Our skin is exposed to dirt and grime, as well as chemical pollutants in the air and water everyday. Cleansing the skin at night is of utmost importance, to remove all the impurities that have been deposited during the day. Most of us love soap and water to cleanse our face. However, soap may not help to dissolve the pollutants and make-up debris and remove them totally from the skin surface. Besides, most soaps are alkaline in nature. The skin should not be washed with soap and water more than twice a day.

Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine, in which healing effects are ascribed to the aromatic compounds in essential oils and other plant extracts.

Once, the people of The City invited Mulla Nasruddin to deliver a khutba. When he got on the minbar (pulpit), he found the audience was not very enthusiastic, so he asked “Do you know what I am going to say?” The audience replied “NO”, so he announced “I have no desire to speak to people who don’t even know what I will be talking about” and he left.

Creativity is a continuous process and you cannot put it in a bracket that these things alone fit into the label of creativity and rest does not. Creativity is something which is an 'integral part' of us. The only thing is that we have to open-up our eyes to see, admire and enjoy the creativity.
Every meditator is definitely a creator because he or she is creating the higher levels of consciousness within, and with this higher level of consciousness, all beautiful things will happen. There is a profound relationship between meditation and creativity. A non-meditative person cannot be really a creative person. Now sometimes people are allergic to the word “Meditation”.
Most of us cannot think of anything else in the morning till we have had our cup of coffee - the most popular beverage on planet earth! In fact, it is the coffee, which truly wakes us up. Ever wondered, what makes us depend on it or rather make us feel that we cannot live without that morning dose of booster? Did you ever ponder about coffee beyond that rich aroma which perks up your mood?
Coffee, we all know, is a beverage of Ethiopian origin. It is said that Kaldi, a goatherd, found his goats eating bright red berries from a dark-leafed shrub. Usually calm and responsible, the goats began dancing, frolicking and singing. Kaldi shared his discovery with local monks who concocted a drink by boiling the berries. After the drink, the monks realized that they had the stamina to pray for long hours. Later, a particularly curious monk, who liked the sweet aroma of a burning coffee branch, pulled the charred berries from the fire, ground them down and prepared a black beverage. This liquid was the first coffee. The traditional coffee has been transformed tremendously.
"Your Child is a Winner, as long as he learns and celebrates his failures. " Success is not about winning, it is all about enjoying and growing with each experience.
It is the parents who define the word ’success’ to their child, through their reaction. How you respond to your child’s attempts in any task will define the word ’success’ for him and eventually determine the spirit with which he will lead the rest of his life. If you consider losing in a contest a failure and not a learning ground, then your child is surely going to measure his success in terms of losing and winning. And this is what mostly parents do. Instead of celebrating the attempt of the child, they focus entirely on the outcome. What could be an opportunity to encourage and make the child learn from his mistakes, becomes a session of criticism and disappointment.
Such an attitude of parents disturbs a child’s balance.
