If you get caught in the rain, you can learn a useful lesson from it. If it starts raining unexpectedly, you don't want to get wet, so you run down the street towards your house. But when you reach home, you notice that you are still wet. If you decide from the very beginning not to speed up your pace, you will get wet, but you will not fuss. The same should be done in other similar circumstances.

Take your time. Each bud blooms in its own time. Don't force a bud to become a flower. Do not bend the petals. They are gentle; you will hurt them. Wait and they will open on their own. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Don't worship the bearded man in the sky or the idol in the book. Worship the inhalation and exhalation, the winter breeze caressing your face, the morning crowd of people on the subway, just the feeling of being alive, never knowing what is coming.Notice God in the eyes of a stranger, Providence in the broken and ordinary. Worship the ground you stand on. Make every day a dance, with tears in your eyes, contemplating the divine in every moment, notice the absolute in everything relative, and let people call you crazy. Let them laugh and make jokes.

Jeff Foster

Supreme power is not the ability to conquer others, but the ability to become one with others.

Try, at least in a small way, not to bring your mind.
Look at the world - just look.
Don't say "like" or "dislike". Don't say anything.

The mind would like to say something.
You simply tell your mind:
“Be quiet, let me see, I’ll just watch”...

Eckhart Tolle "What Silence Says"

The calmer and more balanced a person is, the more powerful his potential and the greater will be his success in good and worthy deeds. Equanimity of mind is one of the greatest treasures of wisdom.

Bring your attention to your solar plexus. Try to imagine that a small ball of sun is lighting up inside you. Allow it to flare up, become bigger and stronger. Let its rays illuminate you. Let the sun saturate your entire body with its rays.

Harmony is evenness in everything. If you want to make a scandal, count to 10 and “launch” the sun.

Calm, just calm :)

Be as interested in what's going on inside you as in what's around you. If in inner world everything is in order, then everything on the outside will fall into place.

Eckhart Tolle ---

A fool and an ignoramus have five signs:
angry for no reason
they talk unnecessarily
changing for unknown reasons
interfere in something that does not concern them at all,
and they do not know how to distinguish who wishes them good and who wishes them evil.

Indian proverb ---

What goes away, let it go.
Whatever comes, let it come.
You have nothing and never had anything except yourself.

If you could simply maintain inner silence, uncontaminated by memories and expectations, you would be able to discern a beautiful pattern of events. It is your worry that creates chaos.

Nisargadatta Maharaj ---

There is only one path to happiness - this is to stop worrying about those things that are beyond our control.

Epictetus ---

When we lose our sense of self-importance, we become invulnerable.

To be strong, you must be like water. There are no obstacles - it flows; dam - it will stop; If the dam breaks, it will flow again; in a quadrangular vessel it is quadrangular; in the round - she is round. Because she is so compliant, she is needed most and most powerfully.

The world is like a train station, where we are always either waiting or rushing.

When your mind and feelings slow down to the beat of the Heart, you spontaneously come into harmony with the cosmic rhythm. You begin to perceive the world through divine eyes, observing how everything happens on its own and in its own time. Having discovered that everything is already in tune with the law of the Universe, you come to the understanding that you are not different from the world and its Lord. This is Freedom. Muji

We worry too much. We take it too seriously. We need to take things more simply. But wisely. No nerves. The main thing is to think. And don't do anything stupid.

What you can perceive calmly no longer controls you...

Peace cannot be found anywhere for those who have not found it within themselves.

Being angry and irritated is nothing more than punishing yourself for other people's stupidities.

You are the sky. And clouds are something that happens, comes and goes.

Eckhart Tolle

Live with peace. Come spring, and the flowers bloom themselves.

Do not rush. Eat at the hour of eating, and the hour of travel will come- hit the road.

Paulo Coelho "The Alchemist"

Surrender means accepting what is. So you are open to life. Resistance is the internal clamp... . So you are completely closed. Whatever you do in a state of internal resistance (which can also be called negativity), it will cause even more external resistance, and the universe will not be on your side, life will not help you. Light cannot enter through closed shutters. When you give in internally and stop fighting, a new dimension of consciousness opens up. If action is possible... it will be done... supported by the creative mind... with which, in a state of inner openness, you become one. And then circumstances and people begin to help you, become at one with you. Happy coincidences happen. Everything works out in your favor. If action is impossible, you remain in peace and inner peace that come with giving up the fight.

Interfering feelings and thoughts will disappear if you do not pay attention to them. Lama Ole Nydahl

You will never regret what you managed to keep silent about.
--- Eastern wisdom ---

It is worth striving for a state of consciousness in which all events will be perceived neutrally.

Probably, every person always wants to be calm and balanced, and experience only pleasant worries, but not everyone succeeds.
Honestly, only a few people know how to feel this way, while the rest live as if “on a swing”: at first they are happy, and then they get upset and worry - unfortunately, people experience the second state much more often.

What is mental balance, and how can you learn to be in it all the time if you can’t achieve it?


What does it mean to have peace of mind?
Many people think that peace of mind is a utopia. Is it normal when a person does not experience negative emotions, does not worry or worry about anything? This probably only happens in a fairy tale, where everyone lives happily ever after. In fact, people have forgotten that a state of mental balance, harmony and happiness is completely normal, and life is beautiful in different manifestations, and not only when everything turns out “our way.”

As a result, if emotional health is impaired or completely absent, physical health seriously suffers: not only nervous disorders arise, but also mental health develops. serious illnesses. If you lose your peace of mind for a long time, you can “earn” peptic ulcers, skin problems, heart and vascular diseases, and even oncology.
In order to learn to live without negative emotions, you need to understand and be aware of your goals and desires, without replacing them with anyone’s opinions and judgments. People who know how to do this live in harmony with both their mind and soul: their thoughts do not diverge from their words, and their words do not diverge from their actions. Such people also understand those around them and know how to correctly perceive any situation, so they are usually respected by everyone - both at work and at home.
How to find and restore peace of mind
So is it possible to learn this? You can learn anything if you have the desire, but many people, complaining about fate and circumstances, actually do not want to change anything in life: having become accustomed to negativity, they find it the only entertainment and way to communicate - it is no secret that it is negative news that is discussed in many groups with great fervor. If you really want to find peace of mind and perceive the world With joy and inspiration, try to consider and use the methods described below.
- Stop reacting to situations in the “usual” way, and start asking yourself: how am I creating this situation? That’s right: we create any situations that “develop” in our lives ourselves, and then we cannot understand what is happening - we need to learn to see the cause-and-effect relationship. Most often, our thoughts work for the negative course of events - after all, the worst expectations are more common than the expectation of something good and positive.
- Look for opportunities in any trouble, and try to react “inappropriately.” For example, if your boss “got off” on you, don’t be upset, but be happy - at least smile and thank him (you can mentally, for starters) for reflecting your internal problems like a mirror.
- By the way, thanks - The best way protect yourself from negativity and restore peace of mind. Develop a good habit of thanking the Universe (God, Life) every evening for the good things that happened to you during the day. If it seems to you that nothing good happened, remember the simple values ​​that you have - love, family, parents, children, friendship: do not forget that not every person has all this.
- Constantly remind yourself that you are not in past or future problems, but in the present - “here and now.” Every person at any given time has what it takes to be free and happy, and this state continues as long as we do not allow past hurts or worst expectations to take over our consciousness. Look for the good in every moment of the present - and the future will be even better.
- You shouldn’t be offended at all - it’s harmful and dangerous: many practicing psychologists note that patients who carry grievances for a long time develop the most serious illnesses. Including oncological ones. It is clear that there is no question of mental balance here.
- Sincere laughter helps to forgive grievances: if you can’t find something funny in the current situation, amuse yourself. You can see funny movie or a fun concert, turn on fun music, dance or chat with friends. Of course, you shouldn’t discuss your grievances with them: it’s better to look at yourself from the outside and laugh at your problems together.
- If you feel that you cannot cope with “dirty” thoughts, learn to replace them: use short positive affirmations, meditation or small prayers - for example, try replacing a negative thought with a wish for good to the whole world. This method is very important: after all, at one moment in time we can only hold one thought in our heads, and we ourselves choose “what thoughts to think.”
- Learn to monitor your state - be aware of what is happening to you “here and now”, and soberly assess your emotions: if you are angry or offended, try to stop interacting with others at least for a short time.
- Try to help other people as soon as possible - it brings joy and peace. Only help those who really need it, and not those who want to make you a “hanger” for their problems and grievances.
- An excellent way to help restore peace of mind is to regularly physical exercise. fitness and walking: the brain is saturated with oxygen, and the level of “joy hormones” increases. If something is depressing you, you are anxious and worried, go to a fitness club or gym; if this is not possible, just run or walk in the park or at the stadium - wherever you can. Mental balance is hardly possible without physical health, and a person who does not know how to achieve balance will not be able to become completely healthy - he will always have disorders and diseases.
“Cheerful” posture is the path to mental balance
Psychologists note that people who take care of their posture are much less susceptible to stress and anxiety. There is nothing complicated here: try hunching over, lowering your shoulders, head, and breathing heavily - in just a few minutes life will seem difficult to you, and those around you will begin to irritate you. And, on the contrary, if you straighten your back, raise your head, smile and breathe evenly and calmly, your mood will immediately improve - you can check it. Therefore, when you work while sitting, do not hunch or “slouch” in your chair, keep your elbows on the table and place your feet next to each other - the habit of crossing your legs does not contribute to balance. If you are standing or walking, distribute your body weight evenly on both legs, and do not slouch - keep your back straight. Try to consciously maintain your posture for several days, and you will notice that there are fewer bad thoughts, and you want to smile more often.
All these methods are very simple, but they only work when we apply them, and not just know about them and continue to think about how we can achieve peace of mind and change our lives for the better.

Prayer is rest for the soul

A wonderful vacation for a person, my dears, is to devote even a little time in your life. If, after an exhausting day, a little time is devoted to it and a person frees himself to commune with the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, which is generous and abundant in the Church, then he will truly have a full rest. After all, rest is not when we sleep for a long time or do different travels. And this, of course, is also a rest for the body. But rest for the soul, spiritual rest, is much more important and significant. A person truly rests when he learns a living connection with God.

I say this because everyone notices how wonderful peace a person’s spirit finds during the holy services of the Church (as it was at the prayer canon to the Most Holy Theotokos, which we sang with you). How much these sacred troparia, composed by saints who had the experience of knowing the Holy Spirit and the presence of God in their hearts and who expressed precisely this experience in church music, troparia, and chants, help the human spirit to ascend to God and partake of the Holy Spirit. The Lord gives Him to those who seek and thirst for Him. All this gives us a true sense of the presence of God, relaxation, a true feeling, so to speak, of amusement and entertainment. I am absolutely sure that from one real, from one service, from one sacred rite in the temple space, you will rest in a way that it is impossible to rest in the best entertainment centers where people go - they leave them even more tired than they came, more nervous . Sometimes they get so excited that one kills the other.

And it’s strange to hear when someone says: well, today, when you can spend your nights in entertainment centers, people should be calm, joyful, smiling every day. Yes, as soon as they get out of bed, they press a button, turn on the radio, noise and din begin, they start singing along, and so from the very morning they wake up, they’re already on edge! Sometimes, before dawn, we drive down from the monastery by car and see how, at the slightest provocation, they shout, bully each other, swear, and are about to fight. And you ask yourself: what happened to them? It’s still only morning... well, after all, it would be evening... But it’s early morning, seven o’clock, they haven’t even opened their eyes yet, but they’re already on their nerves. Where were they? They may have spent the whole night in entertainment venues, where they left after spending too much, so that they returned home in an even worse state than they were the day before!

A man enters, an angel comes out

This does not happen in the Church. “,” St. John Chrysostom says in a beautiful word, “...do you want to know what the Church is and what is its miracle? It's very simple. Look around you or go into a church - and you will see that the church is a place where the wolf enters and the lamb comes out. You enter the church as a wolf and leave as a lamb. You go in as a robber and come out as a saint, you come in as a wrathful man and you come out as a meek man, you come in as a carnal sinner and you come out as a spiritual man, you come in as a man and you come out as an angel.” And he corrects himself: “What am I saying: an angel?!” Is it just an angel? You go in as a man and come out as a god by grace!” This is what the Church is.

And indeed, this is an indisputable fact: a person in a church space, in an atmosphere of chants and prayers, finds serene peace. Because, as you know, in Orthodox Church There are great services, and it is, first of all, Divine services, and the entire “therapeutic course” with which it affects people, the souls of people, is a course of treatment through divine services. I remember how people came to the Holy Mountain (and in general I noticed this throughout my entire monastic life) to live in the monastery. How wild they looked! Their faces reflected their inner savagery - wild temper, wild look... After they spent a day or two on the Holy Mountain, in the monastery, attending services, then little by little the sweetness and meekness of God’s grace emerged on their faces. And despite the fact that they were just pilgrims, the Spirit of God still influenced them, they calmed down and acquired true peace.

And many said: we are going to the Holy Mountain, to the monastery, and even if we do not receive any special benefit, then at least Let's get a great night's sleep, we sleep so well in the monastery as nowhere else outside its walls, otherwise we cannot find peace or anything else. And not because there is silence in the monastery. There was silence in the world too. But because there was peace in the monastery, spiritual peace. This contrast was so sharp that it could be seen with the naked eye. Sometimes I made fun of them (some of them thought that we all on the Holy Mountain have the gift of clairvoyance and just look at a person, we see right through him)! But the saints could do it - and who are we?! And then one day, probably 25 people came. I tell them: “Do you want me to tell you now which of you came for the first time, and which of you have already been here?” They say: “Yes, father, tell us.” I looked at their faces - and indeed, from them it was immediately possible to identify those who were not on the Holy Mountain for the first time; they had different faces in comparison with the others. And I said: “There you are, you, you, you, you already were.” And he turned out to be right, he guessed everything! And so he partook of the glory of the seer! (Laughter.) Although he was like those fakirs, who in reality are charlatans!

God is a reliable support in life

Therefore, learn to eat God's blessing! Therefore, you need to learn to pray, my dears, because in your Everyday life Whatever one may say, you encounter many difficulties and disappointments, many are at a dead end. At least from my short communication with you, I see that you have many hopeless situations, problems, questions, and severe anxiety. And even the darkness that sometimes penetrates the youthful soul, and a person then does not know who he is, nor what he is doing, nor where he is going, nor what he wants - he knows nothing.

All this will be cured when a person begins to pray. When a person begins to pray, he receives strength from prayer. there is light because God Himself is light. And the light of God begins to gradually dissolve spiritual darkness. And if sometimes darkness persists in a person’s soul, it happens because good God, as a doctor, wants to heal the soul with humility, to teach a person to humble himself. And we need to learn to receive this strength in order to swim across the sea of ​​​​our life and overcome difficulties with reliable support.

Other supports that exist today: our common sense, our money, our health, our strength, another person, our neighbor, our friend, our girlfriend, our spouse, etc. - these are supports that are also good, but they are not reliable, because they are subject to destruction and change. People change, the world around us changes due to certain events, due to certain circumstances. The only reliable support, unchanging support, is faith in God. God never changes. He does not get lost, does not change, does not disappoint a person, never betrays him. God does not leave His works unfinished and half-done, but brings them to completion, because God Himself is perfect! So often when you face failures, especially now when you are studying, failures in exams, in classes, you need to learn this power of prayer to rise above failures, like an airplane flying above the clouds during a thunderstorm. He soars up and is not afraid of anything; the thunderstorm rages, but it does not reach the height where he flies because he has “strength” that allows him to overcome such situations.

Wish me luck!

And even more so in the Church, God gives strength not only to overcome ours, but also to derive spiritual benefit from these failures. And sometimes failure becomes the best of successes! Because it has such beneficial effects on a person’s soul, on his personality as a whole, which are often necessary for a person. I can say that it is imperative to learn to cope with failure. Failures are very important for a person. Everywhere we are wished “good luck”, but we need to be wished at least sometimes “good failure”, so that we know that we need to prepare for failures, and not get used to the fact that everything should be the way we want it. And as soon as the slightest obstacle arises, we run to psychologists and psychiatrists, our head is filled with the fact that we have “psychological problems.” Our head is full " psychological problems“, our pocket is filled with pills, and the psychologist’s pocket is filled with money. “45 minutes cost 15 liras,” he tells you! You know, some psychologists don't like me because I stole their clients! (Laughter.) When I heard about this, I was surprised myself - the day before yesterday a psychologist told me about a conversation that took place in his professional circle that some people had lost clients because of me. But this is a really dramatic situation: a person, drowning in his problems, comes to the doctor, and he looks at his watch. And as soon as 45 minutes are up, he says: “Look (and the poor guy is confessing his life to him), do you want to move on to the second hour? Do the math, otherwise stay in your abyss and come back another time!” Despite all this, we often turn to psychologists. Is there a need for this and what exactly is it?
