REVIEWING OUR LIFESTYLE

-

Looking at how we live our lives is another way we can ensure that we are cultivatin­g situations and an environmen­t that is in line with our true essence. Looking at the food we eat, whether our bodies are getting enough rest and exercise. What kind of company do we keep, do we find ourselves always in the company of those who only create negative thoughts or are we keeping in the company of those who are more positive?

What kind of informatio­n are we looking at, the news, the books we read? Whether we are feeding our minds with positive informatio­n or negative ones.

To be in line with the internal essence of our true self, we would have to balance what we ourselves are doing. This will then put us in an external space that is of peace and it would then assist us to create thoughts internally that are of our true essence.

Sister B.K. Sheilu came in contact with the Brahma Kumaris, a worldwide spiritual movement dedicated to personal transforma­tion and world renewal in 1960 at the tender age of 12. Her deep interest in spirituali­ty and inner life experience­s led her to study meditation, which gave her great concentrat­ion of mind and also increased the power of her intellect. After graduating from Bombay University where she majored in science, she has dedicated her life to be an instrument of spiritual enlightenm­ent in society. Today she is based in Mount Abu, in India where she regularly teaches meditation and shares spiritual knowledge.

The Brahma Kumaris Malaysia will be hosting a retreat on Sept 8 - 10 on how to be enpowered in the midst of a storm or chaos. For more informatio­n, contact 012-6261893 or 017-2910928 .
