Amidst the uncertainty that the new year brings, be certain and clear on one thing: each one of us living as conscious human beings can make a difference. It may be by bringing a smile to the face of a sad friend, it may be by giving a few dollars to a down and out stranger, or it may be something grander like shifting the consciousness of the entire human race. The point is that giving of yourself, whether it be your time, your money, or your love, is a conscious act. The more deeply aligned with spirit, dharma, righteousness, Christ-Buddha-God Consciousness the act is, the greater the impact it will have on the collective consciousness.

 

In yoga we call this 'simran' or the rememberance of our God-nature. When that rememberance becomes dedicated devotion it is known as 'pratyahar', and your every act, every thought, every word is imbued with the highest vibration of love and purity. Through ever-increasing awareness achieved with practices such as yoga we naturally begin to direct our consciousness in a manner that serves to uplift humanity.

 

May 2009 be the year in which we each attain that level of consciousness, and may our presence upon this planet serve to to bring peace.

 

May there be peace on Earth.
