Finding Shangri La: Improving Your Journey By Acharya Sri Khadi Madama Sacred = Success Because everything around us is comprised of vibration, the quality of that vibration is essential for everything to run smoothly. We're probably all a little bit guilty of letting our thoughts, emotions, reactions and attitudes sink down to our ankles on occasion. Remember the last time you stubbed your toe or twisted that ankle of yours? This is in direct relation to the heavy thought patterns, which tend to settle in the lower extremities resulting in these types of injuries. |

Finding Shangri La: Improving Your Journey By Acharya Sri Khadi Madama Staying Out of Your Own Way The journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step, the old Asian proverb says. Another one offers a blessing that hopes that your path will be free of tigers. Wonderful. However, up until now there hasn't been a saying that suggests that you stay out of your own way. And, that's the one that is really needed because it is so easy to jam up a lot of great pathways to success in all walks of life if we don't understand what this means. |

Finding Shangri La: Improving Your Journey By Acharya Sri Khadi Madama The Importance of Caring for Material Objects Often in the world of Yoga, the idea is that we are supposed to think only of becoming enlightened or of the etheric atmosphere of spiritual practice. We don't always reflect on the energy that is inherent in material objects, and so sometimes they are discounted. The idea of caring for material things coincides with the 5 th Principle of Intention, which relates to the power of meditation. |

Finding Shangri La: Improving Your Journey By Acharya Sri Khadi Madama Information Overload In Shangri La there is no sickness. People who arrive there become well and those that are there and well don't age for a hundred years. Why? The air is rarefied and not just the atmosphere. The air or attitude is rarefied as well. The idea of a pristine place where people are not prone to common everyday disturbances is so lofty we can hardly think it could be real, but one thing is for sure, there is no way we can achieve even a close proximity if we are focused on dread and bringing dread and fear into every conversation that we have. |

Finding Shangri La: Improving Your Journey By Acharya Sri Khadi Madama Approaching The Great Treasure In the 1920's, painter and archeological explorer Nicholas Roerche went out in search of Shambhala, that mythical realm also referred to as Shangri La. He made an extensive and expensive journey to find the place that has remained hidden to the outside world. He wrote a beautifully illustrated book about his discoveries and the challenges of navigating through the most difficult terrain that anyone could imagine in farthest remote and unforgiving areas in the mountainous regions above and surrounding Tibet. |

Finding Shangri La: Improving Your Journey By Acharya Sri Khadi Madama Finding Shangri LaOne Step at a Time Just like our movie hero, Robert Conway in Lost Horizon, the trek to Shangri La can seem so distant that we can't even see the horizon, or the shard of light at the end of the tunnel. Each step can be difficult against fierce winds of doubt, unstable footing towards a goal steeped in mist so thick we can't see our success; and the climate can be frighteningly cold. Colder than those calls one makes in hopes of gaining a sale. |

Finding Shangri La: Improving Your Journey By Acharya Sri Khadi Madama Finding the Beacon of Light There is much talk about the benefits of meditation these days and the many means by which to practice it. However, journeying through meditation without a map can be very difficult, especially when you are already on overload from multi-tasking, overlong work hours and shortened staff. Add to that, arriving home late and mustering up the stamina to get dinner ready, start a load of wash, return phone calls and sort through the mail, after dinner clean up, housework and so on. |

Finding Shangri La: Improving Your Journey By Acharya Sri Khadi Madama Saving Lunch Your lunch time is a time of renewal and refreshment. It's meant not only to nourish your body, but to nourish your inner spirit as well. Whether you've got one hour or only a half-hour, that time should be spent truly enjoying your meal. The Yogi's in India will not allow anyone to cook for them who is angry or who has a sour disposition because the very vibrations of the cook, conjoined with the elements of fire, water and metal act as conduits for those negative emotional vibrations, which then become an essence of the food they eat. |

Finding Shangri La: Improving Your Journey By Acharya Sri Khadi Madama Shangri La Weekend Every year I have my ownannual,Finding Shangri La, weekend. It's a weekend where I review my own commitment to the founding principles that derive from the lofty heights of Shangri La, a place that is predicated on living a life expressing our deepest heart longings; living without struggle, living on a "gold standard"; always having a good day and never being sick or getting old. |

Finding Shangri La: Improving Your Journey By Acharya Sri Khadi Madama Achieving Enlightenment Through Challenges We tend to think of becoming enlightened as only coming to us through masterful Yoga practice over a long period of discipline, but there are other ways, since becoming enlightened also means that through all of your trials and tribulations, you evolve and develop a keen insight into why certain events or challenges are in your life. |
