How Often And Why Do I Need To Meditate ?
We regularly and quite easily slip into four main negative habits. So meditation is not only sitting in a quiet corner, and connecting with the self and the Supreme, at a couple of fixed times⏲ during the day, but it is also the way to gently remember and remind ourselves, many times in a day, that we as well as others, are souls or spiritual beings not physical beings, by detaching ourselves from actions and also while being involved in actions. These reminders given to the self over a period of time become natural and prevent us from succumbing to these four habits. Given below is a basic meditation, which you could use to remind yourself regularly during the day:
-I have a body but this body is not me…✅
-I have thoughts but these thoughts are not me …✅
-I have feelings but these feelings are not me …✅
-I have attitudes but these attitudes are not me …✅
-I have emotions but these emotions are not me …✅
-I have beliefs but these beliefs are not me …✅
-I perform many actions through my sense organs, but these sense organs are not me…✅
-I play many roles but I am not my roles…✅
-I experience joy or sorrow through my sense organs, but these experiences are not me …✅
-I am a soul-a being of energy, which is neither created nor can be destroyed, and my original and true nature is one of peace, love, joy and power✅
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
