|  |  |  | Joy: Visualisation - Visualising exercise
The best form of visualisation is when you try and affirm your oneness with the Divine Spirit. Sit, relaxed and comfortable, in a chair with your spine straight, or on a mattress in the meditative/cross-legged posture. Focus your gaze on the area of the third eye in between your eyebrows. This in yogic terms is the seat of concentration and will power. Fill your heart and your mind with the joy of God or any other happy feeling that you are able to relate with. Know yourself to be a being of light. Forget the heaviness of the body. See yourself surrounded by this ball of light. It is immersing you in its warmth and permeates you into the space around. This light is the presence and consciousness of God.

|  |  |  | Joy: How I found the holy in the holidaysHow
I found the holy in the holidays
Merry Christmas. The very words used to
make me want to run and hide.
All my life, the
holiday season has been a time of wishing for something I never got-and what it
seemed like everyone else around me had. Suffice it to say mine was not an
Ozzie and Harriet childhood. As an adult, I grew resentful about the holidays.
I couldnÕt stand pretending I liked Christmas when it was just a reminder to me
of the happy family I never had.

|  |  |  | Joy: Give Peace a Chance - Don't Go to War
Wars happen when intolerance reaches epic proportions, when the reasons for war become greater than the sanctity of peace. Wars happen when we fail to realise the value of being alive. World leaders try to bring peace, but it is not an issue of institutions. It is human beings who start wars. Before a war begins outside, it starts inside. The war on the inside is more dangerous because it is a fire that may never be put out. Wars are being fought because peace is not being found within, because it is not being allowed to unfold.

|  |  |  | Joy: Combine Affirmation and Prayer for Success
Affirmation is only the first step to self-healing. We must do our human part. Without additional power from God, however, our efforts are forever incomplete. Affirmation, in other words, should end with prayer. Why should one pray only after repeating the affirmations? Why not before? Prayer is always good, certainly. But if it isn't uttered with an affirmative consciousness, it can easily become weak and beggarly: a plea that God do all the work, without man's active participation. Effective prayer is never passive. It is full of faith. It matures in an attitude of affirmation.

|  |  |  | Joy: Dream Interpretation Dictionary - Various Bird Symbology:
Birds : Dream Interpretation Dictionary - Various Bird Symbology:
Various Bird Symbology: White Dove: well known symbol of peace; a symbol of the Holy Spirit descending on Christ, as depicted in many artistic works. A pair of white doves is a common symbol of love and devotion. Mourning Dove: commonly thought of as a potential symbol of upcoming death to someone you know, but only if it is seen in unusual circumstances and not just eating at the bird feeder or sitting on a telephone line. Eagle: Among the 7 mortal sins, depicts pride; among the 4 cardinal virtues, justice. Symbol of John the Evangelist, depicting spiritual cognition, faith, healing and ascension. Similar powerful symbol of the Great Spirit to the American Indians, who use it's feathers in many ceremonial dress & implements. Goose: symbol of fidelity and loyalty. Could also be a metaphor for "being goosed" or "acting like a goose." Ostrich: closing eyes to unpleasant facts. Just mentioning "Y2K" will make many ostriches out of you! <smile> Also a symbol of meditation, since the Ostrich parent does not sit and hatch it's eggs, but lets the sun do it's work while it guards them vigilantly. Owl: wisdom, as portrayed in so many children's stories and cartoons. Peacock: pride, vanity and showing off due to the male's proud strut; but the male does this as part of his mating ritual to get the attention of the female, so I would apply this as such. It is used to symbolize the American CBS network, and a metaphor could be "showing your true colors." The peacock also symbolizes joy in the afterlife. True story: my mother & I visited my grandmother's grave one afternoon to find a living, breathing peacock standing there staring at us. When I found out that it symbolized "joy in the afterlife," you can imagine how special that was. How often does one find a peacock standing on a grave? Coincidence, my foot! Nightingale: symbolizes yearning and pain; in Christianity it symbolizes the longing for heaven. Raven: intelligence; oftentimes depicting things we really prefer not to hear. Stork: instantly recognizable in our culture as a symbol that a baby has been delivered or is due, possibly due to the young stork's habit of gratefully feeding it's parents when it becomes a fledgling; or due to the stork's return after winter migration, when nature begins anew. Swan: transformation, as in from "ugly duckling" into a beautiful swan. Also symbolizes loyalty and fidelity. Turkey: Is any American unfamiliar with the symbology of "Turkey Day?" Also referred to as a metaphor often used to describe something as being silly, or an embarrassing failure or dud. Vulture: impending death, or a metaphor for waiting to take advantage of someone in dire trouble, as in "the vultures are circling." Egg: symbolizes primal beginnings from which all life springs forth; also in Christianity this is a symbol of resurrection (ever wonder where the thought of Easter Eggs came from?), as in Christ breaking out of his tomb similar to a chick breaking free from it's egg. Could also have metaphorical influence, such as the age-old question, "Which came first--the chicken or the egg?" In this manner it could be saying, "Some questions can never be answered by mere humans, so quit agonizing over a problem without solutions and deal with what-is, as it is." Other types of symbology involving birds: metaphors such as "bird-brain", "You eat like a bird", "birds of a feather flock together," "that's for the birds", "A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush", "feathered friends", etc. Just apply the metaphor to the context of your dream to get the gist of what the symbology entails. Also helpful is relating bird dream symbols to song lyrics. Think of how many different songs mention birds in one way or another. Courtesy to: http://www.readersdigest.ca

Narayana Vrata
The
observance of the Satya Narayana Vrata does not cost much. You need only give a
small gift to the pundit who comes to read the story and then distribute some prasad which also need not be very
costly. Some wheat flour and sugar will make up the prasad. A little curd and some fruit
are required. Even the poorest man can observe this Vrata.
From Hindu Fasts & Festivals by Sri Swami Sivananda.

- Flowers
Flowers When we look at flowers, most of us feel some joy and vitality. At the very least, we appreciate their beauty and see their value. Flowers are beautiful and in our dreams they could represent the simplest feelings of contentment to the deepest feelings of spiritual completeness. A circular flower is a friendly sign which could be the "mandala" symbol or the symbol of wholeness that represents the "psychic center of the personality." Additionally, the colors could symbolize the psychic centers in our bodies called chakras. Flowers also represent hope and positive growth, along with simplicity, innocence, and possibly virginity.

Flying : Dream Interpretation Dictionary - Flying Joyfully through the Air; Swimming Joyfully
Flying Joyfully through the Air; Swimming Joyfully Whizzing along in space, feeling the wind, sensing a delicious freedom is probably the all-time favorite dream. Although this theme may evolve as an escape out of a fearful situation, dream flying soon becomes a joy-filled activity. A similar feeling of pleasure can emerge in dreams of moving effortlessly through water. Source: Patricia Garfield, Ph.D., President of ASD

|  |  |  | Joy: The Joy of Creating Deliberately!
Infinite growth. Eternal change. Never-ending creation. It all begins with thought. Literally, every thought you think influences and adds to what you are experiencing. Yet most people's lives change very little. How do you account for that? I had a client say to me, "I don't understand, Eva. You're telling me I'm responsible for everything in my life, yet there's no way I would have gotten caught up in this crisis on purpose!" I agree! Certainly not on purpose. Definitely by default. It is the lack of understanding of Universal Laws that has us creating our lives by default. Once you understand these Laws, you can begin to create what you want in your life consciously and deliberately.

Theosophy
Occultism Mysticism Dictionary on Chela
A
Theosophical definition of Chela :
Chela (Cela) An old Indian term. In archaic times more frequently spelled and pronounced cheta or cheda. The meaning is "servant," a personal disciple attached to the service of a teacher from whom he receives instruction. The idea is closely similar to the Anglo-Saxon term leorning-cneht, meaning "learning servant," a name given in Anglo-Saxon translations of the Christian New Testament to the disciples of Jesus, his "chelas." It is, therefore, a word used in old mystical scriptures for a disciple, a pupil, a learner or hearer. The relationship of teacher and disciple is infinitely more sacred even than that of parent and child; because, while the parents give the body to the incoming soul, the teacher brings forth that soul itself and teaches it to be and therefore to see, teaches it to know and to become what it is in its inmost being - that is, a divine thing. The chela life or chela path is a beautiful one, full of joy to its very end, but also it calls forth and needs everything noble and high in the learner or disciple; for the powers or faculties of the higher self must be brought into activity in order to attain and to hold those summits of intellectual and spiritual grandeur where the Masters themselves live. For that, masterhood, is the end of discipleship - not, however, that this ideal should be set before us merely as an end to attain to as something of benefit for one's own self, because that very thought is a selfish one and therefore a stumbling in the path. It is for the individual's benefit, of course; yet the true idea is that everything and every faculty that is in the soul shall be brought out in the service of all humanity, for this is the royal road, the great royal thoroughfare, of self-conquest. The more mystical meanings attached to this term chela can be given only to those who have irrevocably pledged themselves to the esoteric life.

|  |  |  | Joy: The Breath of God Is Our Breath of LifeKriya Yoga: The Breath of God Is Our Breath of Life
Kriya Yoga gives extreme importance to the breath. It teaches that
breath control is self control, breath mastery is self mastery, it is
deathlessness. If you take a very short breath and seek God in the fontanel and
the pituitary, you will attain calmness and God realization. The Bhagavad Gita,
verse 5:27, mentions this short breath: "We are to fix our attention in
the pituitary, take a very short breath and touch Him in the pituitary and in
the fontanel." The breath must be so short that if you place your finger
in front of your nose, the outgoing breath will not touch the finger.
