Hi, thanks for listening to the Tony Robbins podcast. This is just a quick note about this episode in case you'd rather watch and see the video of this conversation. And that's found@YouTube.com tonyrobbinslive if you'd like to listen, you're in the right place. In a world where we've started calling pain as normal, fear as normal, stress is normal, and today being depressed as normal, innately, each one of us knows that's not our nature. That's not our nature. Our nature is power. So let's check our own power. Let's check our own power. I will give you a couple of criteria. Grade yourself. Grade yourself. We are not going to share this with anybody else. It's only for us. It's like an emotional health scan. You know, we get a physical health scan, we get a blood test. We know what's all going on in the body. Let's do an emotional health scan. And we're going to be thinking only about ourselves for the next one minute. So don't let anyone else come on the screen of your mind. First criteria, grade yourself out of 10. One will be lowest. 10 on 10 is highest in every situation. Am I influenced by what the situation is? Do I get affected by the vibration and energy of the situation? Am I dependent on the situation for how I feel? So the more the dependency, the lower is the score. And if I'm untouched by the situation and I have the power to be calm even in a crisis, then I'm at the highest score of 10. So as a detached observer, look at yourself and you know what your score is. Don't be too critical about yourself, but don't be too liberal. Only so that I know where I am and I know where I have to take myself. That's the reason. So just grade yourself in every scene of life. It could be as simple as stuck in a traffic jam. It could be as simple as getting late to go to the airport. Two, it could be a betrayal in relationship to. It could be losing a family member. It's a situation. Do I react to situations and I'm dependent on the situation? Or am I able to hold my inner strength and power irrespective of what the situation is? So just grade yourself out of 10. Everyone needs to do this. That's our first criteria. Second situation is over. But my thought and emotion stays on the mind for quite some time. How long am I able to pack up my thoughts within a few seconds? Does it take a few minutes? It takes hours. Or it's been years and it is still on my mind. Someone did what they did. We are not discussing whether they were right and wrong. But is that scene still on my mind? So the sooner I'm able to pack it up, the higher is my score. But if I take long and if I still haven't been able to release it, heal myself, then it's at a lower grade. But that doesn't matter because we all have the potential to reach up to 10 and we're going to do that today. But I need to know my present status right now in terms of inner power. Third, my power to be able to forgive and forget what has happened. The power to be able to forgive and release and let go. It doesn't matter who they are, it doesn't matter what they did. We are not checking them. We are checking our power. My power to be able to forgive, release and let go. That's our third criteria. And the fourth one, how much am I dependent on what people believe about me to evaluate my own self worth, which means how I feel about myself? Is it dependent on how people feel about me or believe about me? Which means validation from people. Approval from people. Appreciation from people. Acceptance from people. People could be even family. The need. The need. The soul seeking for it. Approval, validation. People should like me. People should find me nice. People should say I'm a nice person. People should like being around me. That validation from people. So we now have four criteria. We've ranked ourselves out of 10 total and one score out of 10. One score out of 10. So we are broadly looking for what's my emotional fitness score. First was influenced by situations in terms of how I respond or react. Second was how long that emotion stays on my mind. I may shift into what I'm doing, but the mind is still with what had happened. The third is the ability to forgive and forget. And the fourth is people's validation. So scoring in all those four points then total score and one score out of 10. And now if you could close your eyes for 30 seconds because we want this to be personal. And if you don't mind, nobody's going to see you. Let's raise our hands for anyone. 10 even on the left and the right side. Don't look at the screen. Close your eyes, raise your hands. 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Okay. How many of us want to be 10 on 10? Obviously everybody. Yes. And that's why we are here. That's why we are here. But what are we going to go back and continue doing so that we retain that score of 10 on 10. 10 on 10. So let's open our eyes, come back the first criteria influenced by situations. Who is the creator of our thoughts and feelings? I obvious answer. And yet, if you check your inner vocabulary of thoughts, our vocabulary goes, I'm angry because of and have someone to put the finger on. I'm upset because of it's there. I'm stressed because of. And if someone had to come and say why are you so happy today? I say because of so which means every emotion that I'm creating, I'm saying it is because of someone or something outside. Yes or no? Yes. How many of you agree? We are saying blaming the world for how we are feeling good or bad. In both cases we are saying it's because of if I'm saying my thoughts and feelings are my creation, then the vocabulary cannot be I'm feeling like this because of so now coming back to the reality, I'm feeling like this because of where does the finger go? Because of it's here. The energy gets created here. People may be my way, may not be my way. How often we have said they hurt me. Anyone here has been hurt by people. Raise your hands. Hurt. Oh, see, one name, two names or multiple names on the screen of your mind. They hurt me. Now look at that line. They hurt me. They upset me, they insulted me, they humiliated me. What is this vocabulary saying? It's saying the pain that I'm experiencing here has been created by them. Can anyone create emotional pain for me? Can anyone create emotional pain for me? Who's the only one who can create my pain? So does the vocabulary need to change or no? Because when I say they hurt me, I'm living like a victim in life. And sometimes we can live the life of a victim for years. And sometimes we will reach our last moment in this costume and we are still the victim. And if I don't heal my wound before I leave this costume, I will carry that emotional baggage with me that they hurt me. They are the cause of the pain in my life. At our meditation center, a young lady aged about 35, she came there to learn meditation. And when she was a five year old child, her parents left her with a friend, a family friend of course. But things were not right there. And that five year old child was abused. As a five year old child, she held her parents responsible for what happened to her. She obviously hated that person, but she actually lost trust in humanity, in people. She lived single till she came to the center, she was single. She said, I Don't like people. That had become her belief system. Because she had lost faith in people. She never healed her relationship with her parents because she held them responsible for what she had experienced. And one day when she was sitting in the meditation room and she just came up outside and she said, do you know what I said? What happened? She said, I just realized what that person did, he did to my body 30 years back. Check the vocabulary. What that person did was not right. But what they did, they did to my body 30 years back. So she said, he abused my body once, 30 years back. I abused myself for 30 years. She said what he did was wrong, but he abused my body once, 30 years back. I abused myself for. For 30 years. Which means who was the creator of the pain for 30 years. And the most important thing was she said, today I release and I let him go from here. It was just one thought. To release. It was just one thought. That's how simple it is. It was just one thought. I release, I let go. She went back, she met her parents. It all just fell into place only when she shifted from being a victor to becoming the master of our mind. Situation was not correct. The person was not correct. But how I think about the situation is completely my choice. Do you think in every situation we have a choice how we are going to think about this scene or about the person? Do we have a choice? Yes. You know what? On the left and the right side, don't look at the screen. In fact, we should switch off the screens. Looking at screens is not healthy anyways. We've all got addicted to screens. Don't look at scenes. We look at each other here. Look this side. In every situation, just visualize someone here. They are not my way. They can shout at me, they can scream at me. They can be rude, they can be mean. They can lie, they can cheat, they can betray, they can even beat. That's a power another human being can have. They can even do this daily. That's also a power another human being can have. But do they have the power to enter into my mind and disturb me? Bring them on the screen of your mind and then take the answer. They can shout, they can scream. They can do wrong. They can exploit. They can betray, they can cheat, they can beat. But can they enter into my mind and create pain there? So who hurt me then? Who hurt me? Put the finger there now. Who hurt me and say the word I. Who hurt me? I. So that entire list of they hurt me, they hurt me, they hurt me. Pick it all together and Press the delete button. They wronged? Yes. We are not discussing whether they were right or wrong. They were wrong as long as, at least according to my perception, they were wrong. They probably had a reason for what they were doing, but they were wrong. But the only power they didn't have is they could not hurt me. I created the pain. Is it correct that I created the pain? And how did I create the pain? The way I think about what they did creates the pain. And it's not just a pain. It's an emotional wound that I have created and I probably still held on to it. Anyone here has a past emotional wound which has not been healed, raise your hand. Yes. Now, healing will be very easy when you understand that they didn't create the wound. Their power was only here. Here. They can't enter here and create the wound. So who created the wound? I. So who will heal me? Who will heal me? I. Happy Independence Day. This is independence because we're living our life saying they are the cause of my pain. They have to change. They have to do something for me to feel good. They have to change so that I can be happy. And I'm waiting. And I'm waiting. They may change. They may not change. They may not want to change because they don't believe that they are wrong. Or they may want to change, but they don't have the power to change. So am I going to keep waiting like this for the rest of my life in pain? No. If I say they hurt me, then I need them to do something for me to be healed. But when I understand what they did was wrong, but it was outside, I created the pain by what I was thinking about what they did, then all I have to do is change my thought and I will be healed. And it's very important to heal these emotional wounds because this emotional wound is like an energy depleter in my subconscious. I want to be happy, but I have energy depleters there in my subconscious. How will I be happy? It's like those apps on the phone. You know you're not using the app but it's still consuming battery and you suddenly check and it says this app is using 20%, this app is using 30%. And you say I haven't even used this app for one year, but they're still consuming the battery. So it's an app which I'm not using, which means I may no longer be with that person. I may no longer on a daily basis be thinking about what happened that day, but I haven't healed the wound. I haven't healed the wound. So if I created the pain, I will heal myself. And so forgiveness comes very, very natural. Because who am I forgiving? Another affirmation that we have is, I cannot forgive. I cannot forget. This is an affirmation. I cannot forgive. I cannot forget. Who do we have to forgive? Always remember, in crimes, the law of the country takes care. But law of karma takes care always. Law of karma works with every soul. Every time. Always. So even if I say I forgive you for what you have done, the law of karma will still have a consequence. But when I say I forgive, who am I forgiving? Who am I forgiving? It only means I am releasing the pain that I had held on to. So don't say, why should I forgive them when they did this, what they did. But I'm not forgiving them. I'm forgiving myself. Close your eyes. Bring them on the screen of your mind. Just bring them on the screen of your mind. Don't need to go back to what they did, what happened that day. No, we are not going to rewind the wound. Just bring them on the screen of your mind and look at them not as a face, not as a body, not as a relationship, but just as a soul. Just as another energy point of light. And just look at them and say, past is past. I forgive, I forget, I release. I let go. I send blessings to you. Past is past. It's over. I release, I let go. I forgive, I forget. I send blessings to you. And as you are creating these thoughts, you are overwriting the previously created thoughts. And as you send those blessings to them, you are healing your wound. In Hindi, there are two words, dua and dhava. Dua is blessing and dawa is medicine. So radiating blessings to the other soul actually becomes the medicine for my emotional wound. So past is past. I release. I let go, I forgive, I forget. And I radiate blessings to you. And now for the next five days, 10 days, 20 days, let's take 30 seconds every night before going to sleep and create these thoughts. These are affirmations. These are new thought patterns which will overwrite my earlier thought pattern which created pain. Okay, come back. The thought I create can create pain. I change the thought. I can heal the wound. The power is. The power is. The power is mine. Don't ever look at anybody and say, they ruined my life. Not even they ruined my day. Nobody has the power to even ruin one minute of my life. But I have the power to do it all. It's I who can do It. So if I just do this for the next few days, doesn't matter how old the wound was, doesn't matter how chronic the pain was, just gently do this for the next few days and you are overwriting your earlier written thought pattern and as you overwrite it, that the pain is getting healed. And most important, it's not just an emotional wound that we are healing. We are healing the karmic account that we have created with that soul to always remember that I am not just this body, this role that I play, I am the energy which is the master of this body. The day the world says I die, they say I die. But it's not I die, it's my body, which is no more. So death only means I change my costume. Today you're wearing what you're wearing. Tomorrow you're going to be wearing another dress. You are going to be who you are today. Only the dress will change. So just put your finger here and see how it's going to be. I am here with all my thought patterns, my emotions, my karma. And if this moment I leave the costume, just visualize, take this energy out from this body and it will go there and enter into the womb of the mother. And a few months later, a baby born. New costume, new family, maybe new country, everything new. Only one thing will remain the same. And that will be all the emotions recorded on the soul and all the karma. And that is why the world says everything is predestined. Which means your destiny is predestined when you come into the new family. But predestined by who? A previously written destiny. Right. Predestined means a destiny which was previously written. But written by who? Who writes our destiny? Who writes our destiny? Here, Here. And how do I write my destiny? With my every karma. And what is my every karma? My every thought, my feeling, my intention, my word, my behavior. So when I, the soul leave, how many of you would like to leave this body? Happy. Happy while leaving? Yes. Happy while leaving. Yes. So first to leave happy, I will have to live happy. I can't live in pain and then leave happy. So I will have to first live happy. And in the world of uncertainty today, we don't know when that moment is going to come. When I, the soul, will leave this costume. So many of us have seen people going to sleep at night, not waking up in the morning. Did they get a chance to clean the emotional baggage? No. No one gets that chance. So I have to clean that emotional baggage on a daily basis. Otherwise I, the soul, will Move forward with my emotional wounds and most important, with my karmic account with that soul. So sometimes when the mind says, why did they do this to me? Why did this happen to me? We always want an answer to that why? Well, the answer is it is my past karmic account with that soul. So karma is my every thought, feeling, word and behavior. The energy I create and send out into the world. Can you just hold a ball in your hand? Visualize a ball into your hand? This is your karma ball. This is your karma ball. Which means your every thought, intention, feeling, word, behavior, energy, I create, throw it out into the world. That is karma. And law of karma says, as will be the karma, so will be the consequence. So which means when I create the energy, it's karma. When situations happen to me, it's destiny. So just throw the ball once again onto this wall here behind me. Yes, this is your karma. And now when this ball returns to you, that's called destiny. So the return will be situations. The return will be people's behavior. The return will be issues with the health of the body. The return can be professional ups and downs. But every time to remember that every ball that is coming to me, why is it coming to me? Why is it coming to me? Because I have thrown it earlier. So again, take the hand like this, everything. No, like this. Which means towards you, everything that is happening to me, everything that is coming to and which means all the wonderful things. Today you are sitting here for a program of this quality working on the mind. Not everybody takes out the time to do this. But why did you choose to do this? Why are you choosing to take out time to work on yourself, to energize yourself? Why are you doing this? This is a return of a past karma. So everything beautiful in our life is a return of a past karma. And some of those little, little issues also are a return of a past karma. So what is coming to me is a return of past karma. But most important, how I will respond to this now is my present karma. So again, take the ball. Three aspects of time. Past, present, future. Throw the ball now that's thrown. This is thrown when it comes to you. When it comes to you. Now look at the ball coming to you. This is your past karma coming to you. How you will respond now is going to be your present karma that you create. And when you throw that ball, the present karma, you are already deciding what future is going to come to you. So past, present, future is getting created at every moment. Past is returning to me, present is Getting created, future is getting decided. So the power is in the. The power is in the past or in the present. The power is always in the present. So does not matter what karma ball comes to me. Destiny is not in what happens to me. Destiny is in how I respond to what happens to me. So that particular soul whom we got on the screen of our mind, who didn't do something right, why did they do this to me? The why is that we were not meeting for the first time. We've met before in another costume, in another relationship, and somewhere there was a little conflict. And when we met this time, it was just a carry forward of that past conflict. If I don't heal myself now, if I don't forgive them now, if I don't release that pain now, then I'm continuing to with that same Karma ball. And then I will again leave this costume with that same karma baggage. And then we will meet them again with that same energy. And so it's very important to forgive, it's very important to heal, it's very important to release. And when you start practicing it next time, you won't even create hurt to actually have to even forgive. Second thing to remember, when people are doing something which is not right, are they the best version of themselves at that time? Are they the best versions of themselves that time? No. Now just ask yourself, are they the cause of my pain? Or is it they are in pain? Are they the cause of my pain? Or is it that they are in pain and that is why they are behaving that way? What is the truth? Am I the victim of their behavior or are they the victim of their behavior? Who is the victim here? Who's the victim here? And yet we lived our life thinking we were a victim of their behavior. Now ask yourself, shifting from being a victim of their emotional pain, I can actually start shifting to healing myself. Yes. But by radiating those vibrations, I can also heal them. Would you want to heal those people who have not been right to you? Would you want to heal those people who have not been right to you? How many of you would want to heal them? Yes. This is purity. This is divinity. And this is what will shift us from being, believing that we are a victim, shifting to being the master. So when we said I release, I forgive, I forget, and the last affirmation was very important. I send blessings to you. I sent blessings to you. Blessings means high vibrational energy. Blessings means you also are a pure soul. I understand. You were in pain. You were in pain. If someone is exploiting someone Is manipulating someone, is dominating, controlling. They are emotionally very unwell. They're very unwell. They're not happy inside. That is the reason why they are behaving that way. So let's not consume their pain. Let's first protect ourselves and then rise one step higher. Heal them. The world needs to be healed. Do you agree that the world needs healing? Yes. You agree the world needs healing? And when we start healing ourselves, we become instrument to heal others just by our vibration. But if I am creating that pain and holding onto that pain, it's only not I who's getting depleted, but my vibrations are radiating to that one person who I held responsible. I'm depleting their vibrations and my energy field. And my aura is depleting everyone one around me. And I'm radiating that lower vibrational energy into the energy of the planet. Look at this room. So we are 400 in this room. So if someone had to come with the machine and check the energy of this room, it's going to be the energy of 400 minds in this room. So if I want to shift the energy of this room, if I want to raise the vibration of this room, what do I have to do? What do I have to do? I only have to raise my vibration. Everybody's looking at the world and saying, when will the world change? When will we have a beautiful world where there is peace, where there's love, where there's harmony, where there's compassion, where there's unity. Everybody's waiting for that world. And we've just been waiting and waiting and waiting because we thought that world will come from somewhere. Who's going to create that world? Who's going to create that world? So we can't wait for the world to change. The world is not going to change from outside. The biggest myth about happiness is when situations are perfect, I will be happy. So keep waiting. When people around me will be perfect, I will be happy. When my job is perfect, I will be happy. When the world is perfect, I will be happy. It's the other way around. When I am perfect, the world will be perfect. Which means when I heal my emotional scars, When I release all this baggage, When I remain powerful and stable in every situation, I don't panic for everything that's happening around me. Every thought I am the creator. Every thought, I am the creator. So who creates my anger? Who creates my anger? Put the finger there. We have to record it. Who creates my anger? So is it possible to live a life without creating this energy depleter? Yes or no or don't know? Yes. Yes. Yes. So let's take it up like a little homework. For the next 20 days, how many of you are coming to India? Oh, so you're still together for the next. How many days are you together? So out of 20 days, one week, you're anyways together. So it'll be easy to do it when we are together because if anyone shifts, just nudge and say Om Shanti. I'm a peaceful soul. I'm a peaceful soul. So let's go on a no anger zone for 20 days. No anger zone. 20 days. Again. Remember, situations may not be my way. People may not be my way. I will be the peaceful way. And when 20 days. You will choose to respond with peace. You will choose to respond with compassion. You are actually shifting the vibration of the planet towards peace. Everybody's just waiting for a peaceful world. They're creating anger and saying we want a peaceful world. They're creating terror in the mind and they're saying we want a peaceful world. Peaceful world has to be created by creating a peaceful mind. So 20 days, no anger zone. How many of us part of the team? No anger zone. Yes. And when you go back to your workplace, to your home, put up nice creative posters in your workplace, this is a no anger zone. This is a no anger zone. So no one creates anger here. Neither me, neither my people, neither people who walk into my office. No one. Anger is an energy depleter. And when we create anger, the others create fear, the others create humiliation. There's a lot of energy depletion that happens. And when we see ourselves doing this, we will realize, oh, it was so simple and I was just throwing away my energy by reacting. So just one vocabulary change. I am the creator of my thought and emotion. And happiness means creating a high energy thought in every situation, every situation. Happiness is not in the situation being perfect. Happiness is my thought being perfect of every situation, about every person. Even the most difficult situation of life, which is when a family or a friend moves forward on their journey. Covid, we lost a lot of people. They moved forward on their journey and it's still continuing. Young deaths. But even in that scene of life which the world believes grief is normal, being in pain is normal. Just take one thought shift and see. Just see yourself. Someone around me leaves the costume, moves forward. I have lost one person. They lost everything. They lost an entire family. They lost their body, they lost their job, they lost their achievements. And they're going into an uncertain area. They don't know where they are Going into the womb of the Mother. Who is in more pain, I or they? Who is in more pain, I or they? No, they. They are in pain. They are in pain because they just lost everything. They lost everything and they don't know where they are going. And when I create thoughts like, how could you leave me? Come back, I cannot live without you. I'm adding pain to their pain. Love means not what will happen to me. Love means what can I do for you? Happiness is in this direction. This what can I do for you? How can I heal you? So even in that, we change our thought. Instead of saying, how can I live without you? We change the thought for thank you for every moment that you've been with me. Thank you for everything that you've taught me. I'll take care of myself completely. Fine. Don't worry about me. Very important to convince them. Don't worry about me. Move forward on a beautiful journey with a beautiful family, with a perfect healthy body. Radiate blessings. And when you start doing that, when you just change your thoughts, first you will start getting healed. And most important, you're healing that soul who's entering into the womb of the Mother, beginning a new destiny. This is the power of thinking. This is the power of healing. So in a simple situation like someone not my way to the toughest scene of life, someone moving forward on the journey, it's very important. Spirituality teaches us to leave the body with dignity. And spirituality teaches us to let people live with dignity. Don't live your life saying to each other, I can never live without you. This is not a good affirmation. Be careful of your affirmations because they become a reality. The truth is that one day I will have to live without you. And the truth is, one day you will have to live without me. Because one of us will move forward. So power and love means we are happy together. But I know when I leave, you will be fine. Affirm this every day. You will be fine when I leave. And I will take care of myself when you leave. Make that leaving a divine experience. It's a changing a costume and taking a new costume. It can't start on the vibration of pain for them. We have to heal them before they start that new destiny. So it's all a thought. What we say is what will happen. So look at your partner if they're sitting here with you and just say to them, I'll be fine when you leave. Don't worry about me. And I'm sure you will be fine when I leave. But you Know what attachment is. I know you will miss me. I know you won't be able to live without me. We are disempowering each other by saying this. Love means empower the other person. Love means strengthen that relationship. Love means being a giver in that relationship. Not like this. Not like this. This is not the way. So who's the master and the creator of every thought? Always. Always I. Always I. No victim feeling at all. Just a simple lifestyle changes that we can make just to make this a natural way of living. Most important, and we all know it, but the more it's repeated, the more we have to affirm it. Take care of the content you consume on a daily basis. Content is emotional diet. What we watch, read, listen is creating our thoughts and feelings. The world. Before we got our mobiles and our Internet and our OTT platforms and our 247 media, the world was a very different place. How many of you were here when the first phones were not there? Which means 50 years and above. Yeah, 50 years and above. We didn't have the word stress there. It was only in physics. We didn't walk around saying I'm stressed, you are stressed, we are stressed. Stressed is normal. No, these are all words. And today our children in school and college are saying I'm depressed. All because of content. So emotional diet, please write in your diary, content is equal to thoughts, which means contents will influence our thinking. Content is equal to our thoughts. Thoughts is equal to karma because that will become my karma. And karma is equal to destiny. So content is equal to destiny. If anyone wants to change the way they feel, they only have to change the content they consume. So another little homework for 20 days. Because if I want to create a no anger zone, I will have to change the content I consume. So next 20 days, no content which has lust, violence, crime, terror, jealousy, comparison, ego, comedy, ridiculing other people. So when you list all this out, there's not much left to consume. Not much left to consume. Just do it only for 15, 20 days, that's all. It's like experimentation with the diet change. Just do it for 15, 20 days and you will see being happy is normal. What was I reacting for and everything. It's only because of the diet, that emotional diet. So one thing is to take care of content and most important, timing is where we just cannot consume. Low vibrational content is in the last two hours before going to sleep. And that's the time we sit with all this content. Because when I go to sleep, that content that I've Consumed last is going to go into the subconscious. And that's when anxiety becomes normal, panic attack becomes normal because I consumed all those crime shows before going to sleep. Have mercy on yourself. Love yourself. Don't do this to yourself. And when you don't do this to yourself, other people around you will also change. So 15 minutes before going to sleep, consume high vibrational content which means content which has compassion, empathy, unity, tolerance, respect, forgiveness, happiness. Just consume that content before you go to sleep and the next six, eight hours that content will create those vibrations in your system, in your subconscious, also in your body. Also even the body gets affected by the content we consume because the vibrations of the mind. So can we do this little thing 15 minutes before going to sleep? High vibrational content. Second little thing to be done before going to sleep. If I was not right to anyone during the day, even in my mind, leave alone word and behavior. Please seek forgiveness before you go to sleep. You don't have to say it, you don't have to message it, you just have to create a thought. Just seek forgiveness. I am sorry. And second, forgive those who were not right during the day. Actually you can do it the same minute. But if I haven't done it at that moment at least I need to do it before I go to sleep. Because if I go to sleep with that pain now that pain is not on the conscious layer of the mind, it goes into the subconscious. So definitely before going to sleep and gratitude before going to sleep and a few minutes of meditation. Simple. And first thing in the morning, wake up with your positive affirmations and spend a few minutes in meditation. Don't pick up the phone as the first thing in the morning. Don't consume the world. Create the world on your mind and then influence the world. Rather than consuming the world, if I consume the world, the world becomes more of what I have consumed. Easy to do both these things. And last third thing, take care of the food you eat. Food doesn't nourish only the body. Food influences the mind. You are what you eat. In Hindi it is jaisa an vesamman which means as is your food, so is your mind. It is a direct connection. Food equals to mind. So food is not just nourishment, food is vibrations. Experiment with a plant based diet. Experiment with a vegetarian diet. Just experiment. Don't have to shift, don't have to change. Just experiment to see. Because a diet which has pain, a diet which has an emotion of hurt, anger, fear, helplessness, violence and death, it won't give me peace. So Just experiment to see the shift. You see a shift change, don't go back to the old diet, no problem at all, but experiment. And second, take care. Just before you eat, take a pause of five seconds, say a little prayer, energize the vibration of the food. And no screens while eating. It's just an absolute. No, no. There should be no words, visual content around me when I'm eating, because the food will absorb those words and vibrations. And as is the vibration of the food, so will be the vibration of the mind. And take care of who's cooking for you, because the state of the mind of the person cooking for you will influence your state of mind. And if you are cooking, very important, cook with a peaceful mind. If you are in pain, if you are troubled, please sit, heal yourself and then go to cook. Don't cook with a disturbed, upset mind, because the pain will only escalate after that. Only because food has a very deep impact on the mind. Because we do our affirmations, we do our meditation, and we say, I'm still not changing. Why? Energy of the food. Energy of the food. So there are five things that are going inside my system. What I watch, what I read, what I listen, what I eat, what I drink. Five things going into me, create my thoughts. If I take care of these five. Happy. Always peaceful. Always a giver. Always. It's simple. And so begin your morning and end your day with your affirmations. But also repeat your affirmations before every meal. Before your every meal. Energize your food with your affirmations. It'll become easier to manifest. And if you want to manifest it faster, do it with your every glass of water. Water absorbs vibrations. The highest water just absorbs vibrations like this. And so just with a glass of water, I would say my few thoughts. I'm a powerful being. I'm always happy. I'm peaceful. My body is perfect, healthy. My relationships are in harmony. Five seconds. Energy changed. Energy changed. Simple. Simple, Simple. How simple? Very simple. So being happy is. Being happy is the easiest thing to do. And so when you return from here to your country, to your city, to your workplace, to your family, you are going to go back as a happiness ambassador. As a happiness ambassador in a world where even children are forgetting how to be happy. Go back as a happiness ambassador. Heal the world. And very soon, together, all of us will create the world which the world is waiting for. Let's take 30 seconds of silence again and bring your attention again to the center of the forehead. This is a little exercise Keep doing it as many times as a day, at least a minute after every hour. This helps us to shift from ego consciousness to soul consciousness. And just see yourself, the soul, in the center of the forehead. When you go to Varanasi, you will be applying a tilak there at that point. And that point where they apply the tilak, that little here dot, that is the energy center, the seat of the soul. Just visualize that little shining star. I am a divine being, divinity, selfless, always a giver. This is my nature. This is who I am. My every thought is pure. It's healing people around me. I am the creator of the beautiful world that the world is waiting for. Thank you. Om Shanti. Thank you. If we turn the lights up, if anybody like to ask the question, my name is Casey.

I'm from Austin, Texas. Sister Shivani was just so beautiful, so pure. Thank you. I was just curious, what spiritual books would you recommend? What books have been most profound to you in your life?
- [52:07]
A
I don't have anything to tell you which you will be able to write. When I started this spiritual journey about soul consciousness, it's been about 28 years. So I came to the Brahma Kumari's World Spiritual Organization. So I haven't read any book after that for the last 28 years. I haven't. So it's only what I'm studying there on a daily basis. And.
- [52:32]
B
I'm sorry, what was that book called again?
- [52:33]
A
It's not a book. It's the organization that I'm a part of. It's called Brahma Kumari's World Spiritual Organization. It is in the country where you're coming from also. So we study the spiritual principles there. But then I wanted to just keep my mind on one track and not make it go here and there, everywhere. So I haven't read any book for the last 27 years.
- [52:56]
B
I admire that. That's beautiful. Thank you.
- [52:58]
A
Thank you. Maggie Kwesi. Yes.

Thank you. Sister Shivani, it's so great to meet you after seeing you on YouTube and videos for so many years. My journey with Brahma Kumari started when I was 11 and my mum, my family used to take me to the Ilford center. And at the age of 11, I remember being quite an angry young boy. I remember sitting with the young children that were part of the couple that ran that center and trying to remember the name now. But it really gave me a lot of peace at the age of 11. And I remember my mum was a big a follower of Brahma Kumari's and At the age of 80, we did a. I went to the Oxford Global Retreat to do a. A living eulogy for her when she was 18. It was fantastic. We've got so many wonderful pictures of her. So she was a big follower when she was alive and used to listen to you with your interviews in the garden. Used to give a lot of peace. So thank you so much for. For that and the difference that you've made through so many lives. The question I have is in terms of where you've got family members who have done things where you said about healing yourself so that they can heal. How much effort should one make for that? Or one. Should one move away and heal oneself and go into a different part of your life and move away from that negative energy or keep trying to heal your sort of family members? And how do you support the people around you who've seen that interaction and are worried for you and don't want you to be hurt or have felt that you've done enough and so on. So I just wanted to get your thoughts.
- [54:48]
A
They should move away only in the case of violence. So there's domestic violence or unethical practices in terms of behaviors and thought processes. We don't need to physically move away. We need to only vibrationally move away. Rumi trees don't be at the same vibration at which they are. You don't have to do anything to heal the other person. You only have to take care of healing yourself. Your vibration is healing there. And when it comes to people around you who are worried for you, they are worried because they're seeing you in pain. Yeah. They're not worried because of what the other person is doing. They worried because they're seeing you in pain. But when you start taking care of yourself, they will be fine. So it's all actually about healing one person, and that one is I. And it's very easy to heal ourselves. So don't think about healing other people. What you are right now, your vibrations are coming to me, right? So if I say something right now to you, which you don't like, okay. And you immediately create a little disturbance there, like, how could she say this to me? And she's saying this to me in front of 400 people. Is this the way to speak to me? I just said what I said. But when you create these thoughts, your vibration will change, right? And when your vibration will change, your vibration is changing, you believe, because of me. So your vibration will also radiate to me and I will also get depleted. Which means when you Deplete yourself. You also become instrumental to deplete me. But if you just look at me and say okay, what you are sharing is your perspective. I understand you are going through something. I send you lots of blessings. You are fine, you are healed, you are powerful. And those vibrations are radiating to me and I am getting heat. So you have to do nothing to be me. You only have to take care of yourself. My healing will automatically happen because you are radiating other good energy. So don't move away from people physically, move away from people vibrationally. Someone is at a lower energy. It's like Covid. If someone has Covid, you have to move away physically. Because otherwise we'll catch the infection. Similarly, when someone is emotionally not right, move away vibrationary. Don't be at the same vibration at the end. And when you distance yourself vibrationally, same like Covid, you first protect yourself. Which means you didn't catch their emotional infection and now you can take care of them. So when you shift vibrationally, your higher energies are healing the other person. It's happening also.

Great. Thanks. Thank you.
- [57:26]
A
Thank you. One more? Yes please.
- [57:29]
C
Thank you so much. First of all, Sage actually and Tony for having Sister Shivani in this beautiful moment caught on camera and shared. I've watched it a million times. Thank you so much. It's giving me so much love, peace, happiness, insight. Even though watching it over and over again, I found something new. And one of the actions that I wrote down from what I learned, what came up is doing the one minute meditation. And I notice myself not doing it. So I would love to hear a thought on how can I be as disciplined as I am in other areas with this. Because it's really important.
- [58:30]
A
One minute meditation. Yeah.
- [58:32]
C
Or anything that keeps me responsible.
- [58:38]
A
Yeah. Consistency, Right. How to create that consistency? Just create that consistency for 10, 15 days. That's all. We don't have to make it a habit forever. We just have to do it for 10, 15 days to see how it benefits us. And when I see the benefit in what I'm doing then I don't have to create consistency. It is something that I want to do because I've seen the benefit for it. But even then if it's becoming difficult to be consistent then create an affirmation for that. So create an affirmation. Say I meditate daily, you know, because our affirmation was. I'm not able to do it. Devi, I again forgot today. So unaware we create negative affirmations. And the more we create those negative thoughts, the more that becomes a reality. So just say I meditate daily. I take my one minute pause and every hour. It is my lifestyle. Just put that as your affirmations. Write it every night before going to sleep, repeat it every morning and you will never forget it for the rest of the day.
- [59:38]
C
I actually wake up. I'm a pure, powerful soul.
- [59:42]
A
That's so beautiful. So you go to bed early and you do your affirmations and sleep right. Without all that content, you will wake up at the highest vibrational time which is between 4 to 5am that's the most powerful time out of the 24 hour cycle. I remember we have an app which is called B Zone. So if you just download that and there is a traffic control path in it, just select that and you will have a beautiful tune playing for one minute after every one hour.
- [60:13]
C
Thank you.
- [60:13]
A
So then you don't have to do anything. It'll do it for you. Thank you so much. Take it as your traffic signal and take a pause when that tune plays. And even if you're doing what you're doing and you can't take a pause, but in your mind, you change that way of thinking and create that meditative experience. Experience. Even if you are not able to stop what you are doing. Like if I'm driving the car, I can't stop that for that one minute. But yet I will change what I'm doing in my mind in that one minute. When that one minute music will play. Thank you so much. We have Brahma Kumari's meditation centers in over 140 countries all over the world. And sisters there are always there to teach us the meditation. So anytime you feel like, just call up and walk into any center. And sisters are always there to teach you meditation which is going to help you to shift from ego consciousness to soul consciousness, becoming a normal way of living. Yes. Sister Shivani, you shared something that it's actually women that run the organization. Is this so? Yes. Will you share with them? The Brahma Kumaris was started in 1937. And in that era in India, women were not in the forefront. In fact, they didn't even have too much of their own choices. They were just living as per what was told to them. But at that time, the founder put women in the forefront in terms of administration, in terms of taking care of the meditation centers, and also in terms of teaching the meditation to everyone who comes to the centers. So all over the world, 140 countries, it is sisters who are in the forefront who are teaching this meditation. Because at that time, that is in 1937, the founder felt that the power to nurture the soul needs a motherly quality. Needs a motherly quality. And so he puts sisters in the forefront to teach meditation. Because you're going to nurture the soul. We're going to give a new birth to a new way of living. And that's why sisters were in the forefront. Well, that's extraordinary. Sister Shazani, thank you for your time, for your love, for your presence, for your light. Thank you.
