Increasing the Joy of Life. Freedom from Fear

© Your YogaYou will appreciate this practice only after trying it, even briefly. The joy and confidence in life that immediately begin flowing into you will be the best measure of its power.

Many people today live in fear and uncertainty, without joy and in a constantly depressed state. This brings their energy to an extremely low level. They tire quickly, feel weak and are constantly irritable. They have turned themselves into a very narrow channel for energy, like deliberately tying a cord tightly around a water hose: the water slows to a trickle or mere drops.

Over time, self-suppression and insecurity become chronic, and someone else uses the energy intended for us in life, allotted by destiny or given by the Universe, God and so on. Naturally, this benefits someone, and it happens on a large scale to draw energy from the source intended for all humanity. Life energy is "food" for many lower beings in the Universe who do not wish to connect with its source, God, the Creator or the Universe, but take it dishonestly from the Creator's children.

This practice addresses the problem in the simplest way. You will be surprised by its simplicity and by the enormous changes that may begin immediately. You will release your many inner constrictions and energetic blocks at once. The energy of joy and confidence will flow into you from the Source of Life. Your life will receive its full measure of Energy: if you lived with only ten per cent, you will begin living with a hundred per cent. This happens because you cast off the nets of manipulation that make you harm and restrict yourself through fears, uncertainty and doubts.

Description of the Practice

  1. As I said, the practice is simple, but you must follow my description precisely or it will not work. Its essence is to say, with full awareness during any action: "And this is good!"
  2. For example, while walking along a pavement, say and fully mean: "Right now I am walking along the pavement, and this is good!" If reading in a park, say inwardly: "Right now I am reading a book in the park, and this is good!" As I give people a new practice now, I can say: "Right now I am giving people a new practice, and this is good!" Whatever you do, say: "Right now I am doing this, and this is good!"
  3. Speak only of the current event, what you are doing now. It can be any action. Eating? Say: "Right now I am eating an orange, and this is good!" Exercising with dumbbells? Say: "Right now I am training with dumbbells, and this is good!" Anything at all, but only in the present. Do not refer to past or future events. "I went to the theatre today, and this is good!" or "I will soon go to the football, and this is good!" would be incorrect. Work only with what is happening now. This is easy, since everyone is doing something at this moment. Even at bedtime you can say: "I am going to bed now, and this is good!", "I am lying on the sofa doing nothing, and this is good!" or "I am thinking about tomorrow's journey, and this is good!" Anything at all.
  4. Say "...and this is good!" wholeheartedly, as though proclaiming a Truth you have just discovered before a large audience.
  5. You may say it all inwardly. If you are alone and wish to speak aloud, you may, though saying it silently is entirely sufficient.
  6. You can repeat the phrase several times if you wish. Or dwell fully on what you are doing and draw out the word "good". Sitting on a park bench, for example, say: "I am sitting on a park bench right now, and this is goooood, and this is goooood, and this is goooood." Keep your concentration on what is happening to you now.
  7. Above all, feel what begins to happen within you after saying these phrases: how much joy arises, how much energy!
