Five Techniques for a Cancer Mind

Be aware! Be aware as you meet people, you may be attracted to activities or relationships which look bright and promising, requiring lots of your concentration and effort... but may turn out to be a waste of time. It could be that everyone is talking about you or that everyone is turning to you for solutions. Is it really necessary to invest all your energy in the attention you are getting? Are you doing the right thing? Are you fair to everybody? Are you straight in your dealings with others? Beware of a covered cunningness which often creates division. This cunningness knows to express only through calculation. Calculation is alright for arithmetic but not for the being... Face yourself One should better face the problem instead of running away to hide in one's room, to do useless things which will not help you to grow. Only intensity will help to fight your inertia. After all, problems are not eternal. When we are depressed, we feel we will be depressed for ever- No! It is not possible. You are constantly changing, people are constantly changing, and problems are also constantly changing. Nothing is fixed in Existence. What is required is a little patience to wait for things to move, and a little courage to face situations without making big problems out of them. And lo, within no time, the whole thing is forgotten! Watch your emotions Even though the overwhelming emotions you experience feel real, they are still nothing else than a story you are telling to yourself. Amongst so many thoughts happening in you constantly, you are unconsciously choosing to clutch thoughts that have the same color of confusion. Feeling this confusion is one thing, but reacting confused is another thing. Don’t take major decisions when you are in low mood or you may regret it. Simply relax from the dream. It will pass, nothing else needs to be done. Move towards love Move towards love On our way to enlightenment, we come across beautiful phases where we get to integrate smoothly the teachings of the Master through actual practice. Life is stretching all kinds of cards towards you. Which card you pick up is playing a major role in the way you will integrate yourself. Understanding, discrimination, and perseverance in your awareness are the Master Cards Existence is offering you. To move towards love, that is your true nature; work intensely with those three cards throughout the month. Heal the world! Heal the world! Your altruistic nature is always ready to serve your community. But how do you help? A smile on your face is the answer! No need to prepare long discourses about how the world needs to change. Let your smile overflow to bring a smile on everybody's face. Never put up a smile and try to bring it to others in the name of service, or you'll be just imposing your ego onto others. First flood all your problems with inner healing and clarity, then do service. Understand yourself, the world and God... then Live Enlightenment!
