Be Thankful For Your Problems

- by Ma Yogashakti

Problems need your

attention. I always felt I could handle any

problems. All problems are enacted on TV. We

have a detached view of

these problems. We feel

this can happen to

anybody. We can learn

from TV.

We know death and old age will come. We see

other people dying so we

know we will die. Wherever you get

knowledge is a guru. It

may be from a bird or a

rabbit also. A great sage

had 22 gurus. Always look for God, virtues,

happiness.

Keep your mind positive

always. The world doesn’t exist. What exists

is your thoughts.

Thoughts create beauty. If ever you have a

problem, don’t grieve but find the root of the

problem.

If you practice yoga and meditation you will know

things beforehand and you will know what to do

next. You have seeds

within you which will

guide you.

Be stronger than your problems. When you go

to market you take your

wallet with you. If you have a lot of money you

can spend. When you have a lot of knowledge

you can easily solve your problems. Problems

demand your attention

only.

We are all potential

beings. We have a lot of

energy and nothing to do.

Sometimes we misuse

energy. Energy is misdirected. Be the best

wherever you are. If you are a husband, be a good

husband. If you are a

wife, be a good wife.

All problems can become

assets. Problems are given to children to learn

Math. Problems can help us a lot. They give us

something to do.

Make a promise to God (sankalp) and keep it. Be

truthful to your resolve and problems will melt

away.

should be propagated. Billions of dollars are spent on curing

sickness. Yoga is to prevent problems. Don’t think that

you are sick.

You have to protect yourself. As you put up a

fence to protect your property, similarly you have

to protect your mind also. You have to be selective.

Everything is available here,

good and bad, but you have to select what you want to

plant in your garden.

Family background is very important. Environment has to be

nourished, has to be fed as you

care for your garden.

Problems are not problems, they

are messages, they are educators. God has sent them

because He knows we

can handle them.

Since ages there have

been criminals in the world. All souls are not

on the same ladder. There will always be evil

in the world. If someone

kills me, I will be thankful. I’ll be free from

Lecture and Workshop on “Sacred Pines” MARCH 11TH 2018 WITH SUZANNE BOLTON

Yogashakti Mission stands in the middle of a forest of slash pines. Did you know that their resin is medicinal and has many helpful gifts for those who live beneath these

trees?

On March 11th 2018 Suzanne Bolton (Surya Shakti), who was one of the founders of

this Ashram, will give a presentation on Sacred Pines from 9 – 12. 9 – 10 AM will be

the Sunshine Lecture during which we will walk in the woods and collect pine resin

and young pine needles.

10 AM to 12 noon will be a workshop ($15 suggested donation). In the workshop we will learn to make a salve with resin, olive oil and beeswax, sip pine needle tea and

learn about its benefits, and meditate on the sacred geometry of the pine-cone and the pineal gland. The workshop has limited space, so please call to let us know if you

wish to attend at (321) 725-4024 or email [email protected]

Suzanne Bolton is a R.N. certified in Holistic Nursing and Aromatherapy. She has studied and learned how to work with the healing properties of trees and plants

since the early 1970s.
