The Little e's of Achieving Enlightenment  Most of us do not live in an ashram or far away on top of a sacred mountain where we are in the constant company of like-minded individuals, working every day on their spiritual path.  For the most part in the work world and even within our friendships and family interactions there are always occasions that will teach us alot about where we are stuck in our own growth.

The Jewel In The Crown: Khichuri: Sitting Tailor Pose

The Jewel In The Crown

The Jewel in the Crown, a novel written by Paul Scott after his retirement from India in the 1960's, was beautifully filmed in a 13 part adaptation by the BBC in the 1980's. It is the story of old myths, undying love, betrayal, hope and utter despair played out against the backdrop of Mother India on the verge of independence and partition. One golden thread runs through the whole epic film and that is the incredible panorama of Indian sunsets, fishermen on the breathtaking lakes, old palaces fallen to ruin that capture the eye in shimmering or setting sunlight with unforgettable, yet now lost splendor.

Loose Your Job? Keep Your Spirit! 
 
All of the phrases that go along with the loss of a job are painful to the ears, difficult to swallow and even more difficult to digest.  Phrases such as "being let go", "being terminated", "laid off", "replaced" and so on can have such a detrimental effect on your sense of well-being, or your self-esteem.

Focus=Order=Clarity=Stress Free Productivity
 
In Finding Shangri La, I spend quite a bit of time talking about the need for creating order along the path to enlightenment.  Enlightenment is a path than cannot be strewn with distractions and clutter.  It must be clear to be more easily traveled.  And, it's no different at work.  Recent studies have scientifically proved that the more clutter on your desk, the more tired you will be and the more slow your productivity.

Finding Shangri La:  Improving Your Journey by Acharya Sri Khadi Madama Become An Instant Office Yoga Master The ancient Yoga texts refer to the Yogi controlling his environment.  As a very young girl first studying Yoga and it's philosophy, I didn't quite get the meaning of that cryptic phrase.  However, at some point the light bulb went on inside of my head and I realized that this ability isn't as complicated as the Hindu Rope Trick, the magic illusion performed by Fakirs for centuries.
