Manhattan Meditation Center - Brahma Kumaris Brahma Kumaris

In this episode we explore how shifting our focus from mastering the outer world to mastering our inner world by stabilizing in the awareness of the eternal self naturally brings about a benevolent, solution-oriented attitude towards life.

Embracing our spiritual identity can profoundly alter our engagement with the world, distinguishing between what nourishes our deeper peace and what merely distracts. In a gentle exploration of our non-physical essence, the speaker guides listeners through the concept of the soul as the seat of our true existence, beyond the confines of our physical form. This episode invites you into a space of introspection and spiritual awareness, where the transient pleasures of life are weighed against the eternal serenity of our spiritual being. Join us as we consider how keeping attuned to our inner light can redefine what we deem as 'good' or 'bad' in our journey.

In this episode we will explore how the art of shifting one’s focus or attention from that which is external to that which is within, determines the quality of life experienced.  A life lived from the inside out allows for the innate beauty of the eternal self, the soul, to flow naturally into every aspect of the drama of life.

Our ego manifests itself in some interesting ways. Ways like always looking for justification, always pointing fingers outward.  It's always somebody else’s fault or to be blamed.  And if I can't point finger to anyone, I'm looking for justification in myself. 
 We have forgotten that the ego is not who we are.  The ego is something that I have created myself, but it's not who I am.  Join us in this short meditation to experience that who I am is a being of love, kindness, compassion, truth, purity, serenity and joy. 

In this meditation we explore how to train the mind to let go of shallow, surface level “breathing” or thinking by contemplating thoughts about the eternal self, a being of peace. From this space of deep inner peace, the mind naturally creates thoughts that are few in number, deep, and restorative for the optimal health of the entire being.

'Life is like a game'- Many of us might be familiar with this phrase. In this episode, we will explore a different perspective.
I am playing the game not in order to enjoy, but I am playing the game and I am enjoying the game. The act of playing is the act of joy and not necessarily in order to attain joy. This is the aspect that is worthwhile to reflect on in terms of how we live our lives.
