Sunday
|
Law of Pure Potentiality
Om Bhavam Namah
"I am absolute existence" |
This law states that our essential nature is pure
awareness, pure consciousness, being. When we get in touch with our true
selves we experience greater peace, creativity, freedom, enjoyment and flow
in life. |
- Practice stillness, silence, meditation
- Spend time in nature
- Practice non-judgment
|

Monday
|
Law of Giving
and Receiving
Om Vardunam
Namah
"I am the nourisher of the universe and the universe nourishes me."
|
This law states that we are always in dynamic exchange
with the universe. There is a rhythm in giving and receiving. When we give
to others we receive. When we nourish our bodies we receive greater
well-being. |
- Just by observing our breath we notice the
inflow/receiving and the giving/outflow that is nature of life
- Have gratitude for your life.
- Acknowledge your needs.

Tuesday
|
Law of Karma or Cause and Effect
"Om Kriyam Namah"
"My actions are aligned with cosmic law"
|
In the physical world there is both action and the
consequence of that action. As we sow so we reap. We make many, many
choices and take many, many actions each day (though many of them habitual),
but we can become conscious choice makers and make choices that are
uplifting for us and for those around us. |
- Become aware as you make the many choices that
comprise each day.
- Ask what the consequences are of the choice in front
of you.
- Listen to your heart and your body for guidance
|
|
Wed.
|
Law of Least
Effort
"Om Daksham
Namah" "My
actions achieve maximum benefit with minimal effort." |
Nature flows with effortless ease. We don't have to
struggle so much and force solutions onto problems. We can learn to live
with more ease and flow. We can do less and accomplish more. |
- Practice Acceptance. Accept this moment as it is.
Accept your body as it is.
- Take responsibility for changes you'd like to
create.
- Release defensiveness - there are many valid points
of view
|

Thursday
|
Law of
Intention and Desire
|
The universe is comprised of energy and information as
we are- so when we release intentions in the quiet of our mind we influence
the quantum field. And provided that our intentions and desires are in
harmony with the universe and the other laws there is an infinite organizing
power that goes to work for us to bring about their fulfillment. |
- Be clear of your intentions and desires (writing
them down, speak them, think them).
- Trust the outcome and that there is a higher reason
when our desires don't manifest as we expect them to.
- Practice present moment awareness.
|
|
Friday
|
Law of
Detachment
|
"In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty. In the
wisdom of uncertainty lies freedom from our past, from the known, (the
prison of past conditioning). And in our willingness to step into the
unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the
creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe."
Deepak Chopra |
- Practice detachment - be flexible.
- Embrace uncertainty, embrace the unknown.
- Step into the field of pure potentiality, infinite
possibilities. "Don't limit the IS"
as Richard Bach writes in Illusions. There is so much more than we
can yet imagine.

Saturday
|
Law of Dharma
or Purpose in Life
|
Our purpose in life is three-fold. One is the
connection to our true nature, our unbounded pure awareness, our "being."
Another aspect of Dharma is to cultivate our gifts and talents and to share
them. And the third is to be of service. |
- Practice witnessing awareness, pure awareness
- Cultivate your gifts and talents
- Ask how you can serve.
