- Can we drop our lower nature and selfish desires?
- How do we handle negative emotions that drain us?
- How to replace worries/anxious thoughts?
- How we train our minds?
We focused on "dropping and picking up†- the most common part of our day-to-day life and the importance of taking “Time Out“ for ourselves. The take home message was that several things help to make our homes a place of love and peace:
- Prioritizing activities
- Watching your speech, breath and mind – Being in the NOW
- Finding your Svadharma – There is only ONE YOU!
- Japa, Satsangs (Sravanam), Contemplation (Mananam), Meditation (Nidhidhyasanam)
