GRATITUDE IS GOOD MEDICINE

by Madiha Saeed

Stress, work and family routines can trap us in a pattern of negative thinking that feeds on itself and creates stress and unhappiness. With our internal and external worlds being bombarded these days with negativity, being optimistic is more important now than ever before.

Gratitude is not just a feel-good word. It is an emotion expressing appreciation for what one has—a universal concept in nearly all of the world’s spiritual traditions. Practicing gratitude daily is proven to have actual physiological consequences. It helps lower inflammatory markers, influences epigenetics, improves the immune system and even helps the heart, adding years to life.

Optimism has been found to correlate positively with life satisfaction and self-esteem. “Heartfelt” emotions like gratitude, love and caring produce coherent brain waves radiating to every cell of the body, as shown by technology that measures changes in heart rhythm variation and coherence.

Our subconscious governs 90 percent of our thoughts and actions. It shapes our every behavior. But the subconscious mind is nothing other than neural pathways that have been established in the brain as a result of past beliefs and conditioning. Our subconscious does no thinking of its own, but rather relies on our perception of the world around us, interpreting verbal and nonverbal cues.

When we consciously turn negativity to positivity from the inside-out, the neural pathway associated with negativity will take time to come down fully, so it is critical to practice gratitude regularly. Upon waking in the morning, say 10 things that you are grateful for. Keep a gratitude journal. Put sticky notes all over the house with gratitude messages—on photos, light fixtures, fans, exercise equipment—to create a zone of subliminal positivity.

Remember that our perspective can reflect either our pain or our power. That choice is in our hands. Know what you are grateful for each day.

Devarshi Steven Hartman

Virtual Presentation on the Bhagavad Gita on November 12

The Yoga Teachers Association (YTA) is having Devarshi Steven Hartman, ERYT, present the Essence of the Bhagavad Gita on Zoom at 1:30 p.m. on November 12 for the monthly YTA workshop, which takes place the second Saturday each month.

“Come explore why this ageless poem has been a guide for much of the world in how to attain true happiness and live a life in accordance with a loving, all-powerful God by your side,” says Hartman, founder of Pranotthan Yoga School, former dean of the Kripalu School of Yoga, and former director of professional trainings at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health.

“We will dive into the main concepts set forth in the Gita as guiding principles to live by,” adds Hartman. “The Bhagavad Gita is the quintessential text on yoga–not hatha yoga, the yoga of postures–but bhakti yoga, the yoga of love. All yoga practices rest on the foundation of this fearless love and how to attain it, set forth in this scripture.”

Devarshi has been a yoga student and teacher for more than 40 years and is a former Kripalu ashram resident, where he lived for nearly a decade living, studying and teaching yoga. Devarshi is the creator of two best-selling audio series, “The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita” and “Satori–Simple Secrets to Inner Peace.” He leads workshops and retreats around the country and teaches pranotthan yoga teacher trainings.

November 2022

Astrology with Pamela Cucinell

Mars Retrograde

Mars retrograde this month freezes movement; use it to hone skills and temper your pace. Slow and steady brings results November 1 in spite of frustrations or distractions. Get organized November 2 to move forward in the later part of the day. Serendipity reigns November 3. Creative juices flow November 4 and in the evening, a brisk walk or workout helps settle your body. Uphill with detours can thwart goals November 5; don’t make it harder by fighting yourself. Channel aggravations into exercise you enjoy November 6.

Jupiter Direct!

Don’t push without clear direction November 19; some things require more conversation. Enjoy easy connections November 20, but keep alert for potential disagreements. After noon November 21, doorways and opportunities open. Good fortune comes November 22 for those who are committed to the work. The November 23 Sagittarius new moon coupled with Jupiter direct sizzles with excitement. Best to consider options on Thanksgiving Day; enthusiasm benefits from thoughtful plans and blessings magnify when shared.

About Face

Dispel the idea of insurmountable effort November 7 and invite fresh possibilities. The lunar eclipse on election day indicates an unprecedented November surprise. Lots of chatter November 9 demands thorough research. Be wary of complacency November 10. Alternative perspectives create tension November 11. Soothe old wounds November 12. Comfort provides deep healing on November 13.

Slow Burn

Read between the lines November 14. The most insistent voice November 15 benefits from sharper listening skills. Exuberance intoxicates November 16; double check before action. You can get it done November 17 when you uphold strict priorities. Avoid frustration to yield maximum results November 18.

Graceful Transitions

Distractions abound November 25; time in nature quiets confusion and evening brings clarity. Attention to a goal, whether as an intention or action, increases its viability November 26. Creative drift on November 27 generates inspiration. Don’t get stuck if something out of the blue November 28 changes the plan, because it can still lead to a stable outcome. Networks and conversations stimulate ideas November 29, but let them marinate as you finish up and organize. An open heart welcomes miracles when November 30 sparkles with auspicious potential.

Pamela Cucinell offers a spiritual astrological perspective for the massive changes of our time, as well as guidance through private sessions and podcasts. For more info, call 917.796.6026, email pamela@insightoasis. com, or visit InsightOasis.com and ActiveSpirituality.Life. See ad, page 42.
