Bhaktananda Stress Reduction 10-03-2000 YAG

•   Make money by more education. Or, put your whole heart on your work.
•   List your faults. One week work on one fault – concentrate on the solution only.
•   Really work on being positive about life, the bright side of things.
•   Live by a schedule: plan.
•   Stay in tune with God. Long meditation once a week, 3 to 6 hours.
•   Negative thoughts, moods, fears, anger, vengeance keep us in a state of gloom. Bring in faith, a positive attitude,
                with cheerfulness. Good things then come to us.
•   When tempted to be moody, patiently, softly, with wisdom, say to yourself “I’d rather think of God Get out! Get out!”
•   Avoid junk food.
•   Avoid stressful movies, TV, music, parties.
•   Avoid wrong company.
•   Avoid arguments, getting in deeper.
•   Do peace and harmony prayer five times a day for others and yourself. Five times a day always works.
•   Study the SRF lessons. Pick out what you are attracted to do.
•   When you are in tune with God He will take care of you.

This is a prayer that brother Bhaktananda left behind for us all:

Peace and Harmony Prayer

Visualize the person(s) you are praying for, and mentally surround them with divine light.
Then deeply pray,"Lord fill them with peace and harmony, peace and harmony, peace and harmony" for about a minute.  Do this five times a day and you will see a change come over those individuals and yourself. After this visualize yourself in the divine light and pray, "Lord fill me with peace and harmony, peace and harmony, peace and harmony," for about 15 seconds. Do this five times a day, and you will see a change come over those individuals and yourself.
