Two friends—people who had known Jesus, who had walked with Him, talked with Him, and eaten meals with Him every day for three years didn’t recognize Him even on a long walk down a dusty road. Have you ever wondered about that? I have. How could that possibly be?

The reality is: disciples were looking at a man who happened to be traveling along same road they were. They did not see Jesus because they did not expect to see Jesus.

How many times on our walks through life do we not see Jesus? How many times do we talk with a co-worker or a parent or a child or a friend or even someone we have never met before and fail to recognize that this person holds a precious piece of Our Lord and Savior within them? And because we don’t recognize Jesus in them, we treat them not as we would treat Jesus, but as just our friend, or just our co-worker, or just our child.

It must make Jesus terribly sad that for all our flowery words and pious presumptions, we still do not recognize Him in each other.

Moreover, consider this: Is it possible that in religious settings, we look at one another, and instead of seeing Jesus, we see only other person’s religion, their label? And because we don’t see Jesus, we say, "You are so obviously not spiritual—look, you stand when we are kneeling, or you use crucifixes instead of picturing risen Lord, or you pray to statues and icons instead of to living God, or you don’t have our label, and so, obviously God is not going to let you into His kingdom."

What does it take to live life holistically?

It definitely does not require a degree from well known university, a high paying job or huge bank balance. Holistic living has nothing to do with all that!

Holistic living simply means…..

1) To enjoy positive health and wellness with physical body

2) To have sharp and alert mind

3) To have positive emotions such as Zest, Love, Joy

4) To be aware spiritually

Holistic living is all about being human! More and more human!! http://www.premnirmal.com/the-power-of-simplicity-in-holistic-living.htm

The effect of Negative

Majority of people who have had too many negative experiences in life get stuck with negative polarity. So, in such cases where negative polarity is dominant in human experience, living holistically does take commitment, practice with patience and clear intention to create balance and evolve wholeness consciously.

Holistic living is to emphasize positive in all dimensions. To begin with, create wholeness in grosser trio of Body-Mind-Emotions. Once these grosser dimensions are brought in a state of balance, then we can actualize more subtle dimensions.

The effect of Positive

A simple practice like smiling more often can have profound impact on our personality.Smiling is one of natural and simplest things we can do. It doesn’t cost anything! Scientific studies have shown uplifting effects on mind and emotions from a simple smile.

Conscious attention on breath is another simple practice. It is such simple practices as these that can create balance between negative and positive polarities. By being diligent in practice of life affirmative techniques, we can make a profound shift in our state of being.

The effect of Kriya

Practice “Tatwa Breathing” (25 connected breaths) or “Elemental Breathing” consciously. Start it with a couple of deep breaths. Now start with four short breaths and end with a long breath. This makes train of five connected breaths. Repeat such train five times and you have completed “Elemental breathing”. (All 25 breaths should be connected without stopping in between). Tatwa breathing is based on fact that our body is made of five tatwas or elements namely Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. Once these five elements are balanced within our body, we experience wellness! It is such a simple practice which does not need any cassette or gadget for practicing. Also, breathing in such simple way does not even cost you anything! You do not need to travel to attend any group for practicing this Kriya. For next few days, simply focus on practice of this simple Kriya. Also focus on simplicity with regards to your holistic lifestyle.
