Have you ever felt emotionally drained, like you’re carrying too much pain, stress, or baggage? If yes, it’s time to pause and explore how to heal your soul. Just like your body needs care, your soul needs regular love and attention too.
Let’s begin with a short story.
💸 The Story of the ₹500 Note
In a classroom in Mumbai, a teacher held up a crisp ₹500 note and asked, “Who wants this?” Every student raised their hand.
She then crumpled the note, dropped it to the ground, and poured some mud over it.
“Do you still want this?” she asked.
The kids still said yes.
“Why?” she smiled. “Because no matter what I did, its value didn’t change.”
This story is often told to explain self-worth. But let’s take it a step deeper.
Imagine that ₹500 note is your soul—pure, priceless, and beautiful. The mud and crumples are your emotional scars, trauma, stress, and disappointments. But just like the note, your soul’s value never drops. All it needs is some care and cleansing.
Let’s explore how to heal your soul with 16 simple and powerful steps.
How to Heal Your Soul – 16 Gentle Steps
- Fast Regularly
Fasting isn’t just about food. It clears both your body and mind. It helps you detach from material cravings and become more aware of your inner self. (Check out our blog on Spiritual Benefits of Fasting)
- Spend Time in Solitude
Take time out to just be with yourself. Silence and solitude are magical for healing. Here’s how it can bring you peace: Check more about the benefits of solitude here: The Secret of Happiness and Inner Peace
- Love Unconditionally
Give love without expecting anything back. It lightens your heart and fills you with joy. Learn how to love unconditionally here in this little blog: How to Love Unconditionally: The Secret to a Peaceful and Joyful Life
- Forgive Quickly
Holding on to anger is like holding fire—it burns you. Let go and forgive. It’s the best gift you can give yourself.
- Be Honest
Be real—with others and with yourself. Hiding behind lies or pretending to be someone else only creates stress.
- Be Simple and Authentic
Be who you truly are. Life feels easier and more peaceful when you don’t have to wear a mask – either adopted by yourself, or given by someone else. Read more about it here: Be Unshakable Like the Sea: Stay True to Yourself
- Accept Your Mistakes
Mistakes don’t define you. Learn from them, say sorry if needed, and move on stronger. Remember – Mistakes Don’t Define You. How You Respond Does.
- Stay Humble
Success is sweet, but always remember the people, grace, and efforts that helped you get there. Humility keeps your soul light.
- Meditate Regularly
Meditation helps you find calm inside the storm. Try the Meditation on Twin Hearts—it’s powerful and easy.
- Take Nature Breaks
Nature heals. Whether it’s a park, a beach, or the mountains, just being in nature helps you reconnect with yourself and with the Divine. As you spend time in nature, the very act of acknowledging the marvelous creations of God through nature will set your healing in motion. The grandeur of the creations of God is beautifully and simply explained in this little book – The Existence of God is Self Evident authored by Master Choa Kok Sui.
- Read Inspirational Content
Good books and blogs feed your soul. Choose ones that uplift, inspire, and guide you.
- Serve Others
Helping others brings deep joy and meaning. While esoteric science suggests that generosity and service leads to prosperity (Key to Abundance is Generosity and Service), modern science suggests that volunteering is great for mental health (How Volunteering Boosts Mental Health).
- Give Freely
Share your time, your love, your resources. Giving opens the heart and heals it too.
- Live a Balanced Life
Don’t overdo anything. Work, rest, relationships, hobbies—they all matter. Balance is where peace lives.
- Use Your Talents for Good
You have something special. Use it to help others. That’s how your soul grows.
- Practice Daily Journaling
Writing down your thoughts helps you process feelings and track growth. It’s like having a heart-to-heart with your soul every day.
Embrace the Journey
Learning how to heal your soul isn’t a one-time thing—it’s a gentle, ongoing process. When you practice even a few of these steps regularly, you’ll start to feel lighter, happier, and more connected.
Your soul is powerful, pure, and unbreakable. Let it shine.
Have you ever made a plan to do something important but ended up skipping it the next day? Maybe it was waking up early, studying for an exam, or sticking to your workout. You’re not alone. The truth is, all of us struggle sometimes. But one powerful habit can help us overcome that struggle: self-discipline to achieve your goals.
If you feel you’re not able to act on your plans, maybe it’s not a lack of time — maybe it’s a lack of love. In fact, discipline is the highest expression of self-love. (You can read more in my blog here.)
A Short Story from a Simple Village
Long ago, in a small village near Nashik, lived a young boy named Arjun. He wasn’t the strongest, smartest, or fastest in his class. But he had one thing others didn’t—self-discipline.
Every morning before sunrise, Arjun would wake up, light a diya in front of his home temple, and study under a banyan tree. His friends often teased him. “Why not sleep in? Why so serious?” they would ask. But Arjun smiled and said, “One day, this will matter.”
Years later, while many of his friends struggled with focus and gave up on their dreams, Arjun became a doctor who served his village. He built a small clinic and offered free check-ups every Sunday. People said it was a miracle. But Arjun would simply say, “It doesn’t take a miracle. It takes self-discipline to achieve your goals.”
Why Is Self-Discipline So Important?
Because motivation comes and goes. One day you feel inspired, the next day you don’t. But discipline? That sticks with you.
When you’re disciplined:
- You do what needs to be done, even when you don’t feel like it.
- You keep going when things get hard.
- You build habits that slowly take you closer to your dreams.
Think of it like planting a mango tree. You water it every day, even if you don’t see fruit right away. One day, the tree gives you shade and sweet mangoes. That’s what self-discipline to achieve your goals feels like.
How Can You Build Self-Discipline?
Start small. Here’s a simple plan:
- Pick one goal – something that truly matters to you.
- Make a tiny daily habit – maybe it’s reading one page, doing five push-ups, or meditating (practice awareness or breathing) for 2 minutes.
- Stick to it for 7 days – don’t miss a single day.
- Track your progress – use a notebook or a simple app.
- Celebrate small wins – and do it in a way that honours your journey.
For example:
- If you’re trying to lose weight, don’t just wait for the final goal. When you hit a small milestone, treat yourself to a relaxing spa.
If you’re on a spiritual path, like me, celebrate milestones by visiting the GMCKS Arhatic Yoga Ashram near Pune. Let your celebration deepen your commitment.
Your One Reason Is More Powerful Than a Thousand Excuses
There will always be reasons not to do something: “I’m tired”, “I’ll do it tomorrow”, “What’s the point?” But if you have one strong reason — like Arjun had — that one reason can silence a thousand excuses.
So take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Ask yourself: What is one goal I truly want to achieve?
Write it down. Then, ask: What is one small step I can take every day to move closer to it?
That’s how it begins. That’s how you build self-discipline to achieve your goals.
Final Thought
You don’t need to be the smartest or the strongest. You just need to show up for yourself every day. With time, your habits will shape your life. And one day, you’ll look back and smile, just like Arjun.
So go ahead—start today. Your future self is already cheering you on.
Character building in spirituality isn’t just about being peaceful during meditation or chanting mantras. It’s about how we behave when things don’t go our way—how we treat others, how we control our anger, and how we stay humble in the face of success. True spiritual growth happens not in isolation but in the middle of daily life, when our patience, love, and strength are put to the test.
There’s a story about two brothers, Arjun and Rishi, who lived in the same household but were very different. Arjun was known for his long meditation hours and his knowledge of scriptures. Rishi, on the other hand, helped around the house, took care of their aging parents, and was often busy resolving conflicts in the neighborhood.
One day, their guru visited them. Arjun proudly said, “I meditate four hours a day and chant mantras every morning and night.”
The guru nodded and asked Rishi, “And what about you?”
Rishi replied humbly, “I meditate when I get a chance, but I try to be calm when things go wrong and kind when people aren’t.”
The guru smiled and said, “Both paths are good, but true character building in spirituality is seen in how you live with others, not how long you sit in silence.”
Character Building in Spirituality is the Real Test
As Master Choa Kok Sui writes in Beyond the Mind – The Golden Lotus Sutras on Meditation:
“Spiritual development is dependent upon inner purification or character building. The inner purification or character building achieved is tested when you live with people and you are subject to conflicting pressures.”
That means spiritual growth isn’t proven by how many retreats you attend or how many scriptures you can quote. It’s shown when you choose to forgive someone who hurt you, or when you stay honest even when lying would be easier.
When you live with people, face stress, manage projects, and still stay centered—that’s real growth. Character building in spirituality is tested in real life: at home, at work, in traffic, in arguments, and in difficult conversations.
Meditation and rituals do help, but they are tools to strengthen you for life. Not a way to escape it.
So, the next time you’re tempted to react with anger, or feel like giving up on someone, or boast about a win—pause and ask yourself: “What would a spiritually strong version of me do right now?”
Spirituality isn’t about escaping life. It’s about embracing it with grace.
Let your character building in spirituality reflect in the small, everyday choices. That’s where your light truly shines.
Have you ever noticed how fasting isn’t just something we do for health, but something people have done for centuries — across different cultures, spiritual paths, and traditions? That’s because the spiritual benefits of fasting go far beyond simply skipping a meal.
Fasting gives you a chance to reset — not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and energetically. It helps your body detox, yes. But more importantly, it helps you disconnect from the noise of the outer world and reconnect with the silence within.
Let’s explore what really makes fasting such a powerful spiritual tool.
Health Benefits First — Then Go Deeper
Most of us know the physical perks of fasting — it supports better metabolism, reduces inflammation, and may even promote longevity. According to Healthline, fasting can:
- Promote blood sugar control
- Promotes better health by fighting inflammation
- Enhance heart health
- Boost brain function
- Aids weight loss
- Increase growth hormone secretion
- Delay aging
- Improve metabolism
But let’s not stop there.
The Spiritual Benefits of Fasting
The spiritual benefits of fasting lie in what it teaches your soul. Every time you consciously choose to abstain from food, you send a message to your body: “You are not the boss of me.”
You practice self-control. You strengthen your willpower. You stop reacting to every craving. And slowly, your mind becomes quieter… your emotions, calmer… your energy, more refined.
In the book “Beyond the Mind – The Golden Lotus Sutras on Meditation”, Grand Master Choa Kok Sui writes:
“Fasting develops your willpower. The purpose of fasting is to cleanse the body and transform the solar plexus chakra. The objective is to become more refined, and to have more control over the emotions so that the lower chakras will be regulated by the higher chakras.”
This teaching hits home. Because the solar plexus chakra is the center of our emotions. It stores stress, frustration, irritation — all the emotional baggage we don’t know how to let go of. Fasting helps purify that center. It makes your emotional body lighter and more peaceful.
Fasting Builds Willpower and Self-Mastery
In our blog on The Power of Willpower for Success, we spoke about how building willpower is key to spiritual growth. Fasting is one of the fastest ways to strengthen this inner muscle.
You say “no” to a craving — and suddenly, you realize you can say “no” to anger, too. To overthinking. To reacting impulsively.
That’s the real gift.
In our posts on Controlling Emotions and Internal Awareness, we saw how awareness is the first step to healing. Fasting increases that awareness. It brings emotions to the surface, and gives you space to observe, release, and reset.
Try It Mindfully
Fasting doesn’t have to mean starving. You can fast once a week, or even try intermittent fasting. The idea is to break your dependency on constant consumption — and return to conscious living.
When done with the right intention, the spiritual benefits of fasting can be life-changing.
So next time your stomach growls and your hand reaches for food — pause. Smile. And remember: you’re not depriving yourself. You’re disciplining your inner world. You’re strengthening your soul.
Final Thought
Fasting is not about denying yourself. It’s about discovering yourself. Your true self — the one beyond the cravings, the emotions, the reactions.
When you embrace this sacred pause, you don’t just cleanse the body. You refine the soul.
So go ahead — try fasting not just for your body, but for your spirit. And watch how your inner world begins to change.
Have you ever said something in the heat of the moment and later wondered, “Why did I even react that way?” You’re not alone. Most of us have experienced moments where our emotions take over, and we react before we really understand what’s going on inside us. That’s where the powerful connection between self-awareness and personal growth comes in.
In fact, learning to observe yourself in those intense moments is a form of internal awareness for self-mastery — a skill that can lead to lasting transformation.
What Is Self-Awareness?
Self-awareness simply means paying attention to your thoughts, emotions, and actions — without judging yourself. It’s like being a kind observer of your own mind. When you’re self-aware, you catch yourself before that snappy comeback or hurtful reaction. You pause. You reflect. You choose your response instead of just reacting.
And when you pair that awareness with consistent choices, even small steps to personal growth every day can lead to big change over time.
Why Self-Awareness and Personal Growth Go Hand-in-Hand
When you don’t take time to notice why you’re feeling angry, sad, or insecure, those emotions just pile up. You might stay quiet in a conflict, thinking that’s maturity — but if your mind is still boiling, nothing has really changed. That’s not growth. It’s just silence.
Real growth happens when you ask yourself:
- What triggered me just now?
- Why did I feel the need to speak or defend myself?
- What’s the feeling behind the reaction?
By answering these questions with honesty and kindness, you start understanding your emotional patterns. And that’s where true transformation begins.
It also helps you stay emotionally centered — a powerful tool when you’re trying to achieve your goals by managing emotions and staying focused in everyday life.
Building Self-Awareness Takes Practice (But It’s Worth It!)
Let’s be real — developing self-awareness and personal growth isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being real with yourself. The next time something upsets you, don’t rush to respond. Pause. Breathe. Ask yourself, “What am I really feeling?”
This pause gives your inner world a voice. You’re not ignoring your emotions — you’re investigating them. And when you do that, you unlock a deeper strength: the ability to respond wisely instead of reacting blindly.
That pause? That’s discipline. And surprisingly, discipline isn’t about punishment — it’s the ultimate act of self-love. Because when you give yourself space to reflect, you’re choosing growth over chaos.
Many people think discipline is about being strict or harsh. But real discipline is one of the most loving things you can offer yourself. It means making choices today that will take care of your future self.
It’s Not Just About Staying Quiet
You might think growth means biting your tongue and walking away. But silence without self-reflection is like pressing a mute button on a boiling pot — it’s still bubbling underneath. Without exploring the why behind your feelings, you stay stuck in old habits.
To grow emotionally, you need to go within. That’s what self-awareness and personal growth are all about — learning from your feelings, not ignoring them.
Final Thoughts: Small Steps, Big Changes
Every time you pause and reflect instead of reacting, you’re building emotional strength. You’re growing. You’re becoming a version of yourself that’s more peaceful, thoughtful, and aware.
So the next time you feel a strong emotion rising, take it as an opportunity. An opportunity to grow. An opportunity to understand yourself better. An opportunity for real change.
Remember, self-awareness and personal growth don’t happen overnight. But with patience, practice, and compassion for yourself, it will happen — one moment of awareness at a time.
A father once told his young daughter a simple but powerful story.
“Inside each of us,” he said, “live two characters — a hero and a villain. They are always in battle, fighting to take control.”
The daughter looked up, wide-eyed.
“Who wins?” she asked.
The father smiled gently and replied, “The one you feed.”
That answer holds deep truth. Every day, we are feeding one of those characters — through the habits we choose, the thoughts we think, and the way we respond to life. If you want to grow, feel better about yourself, and live with purpose, you must feed the hero within you.
Why It Matters to Feed the Hero Within You
Think of habits like food. When you repeat good habits — waking up early, exercising, staying calm — you are feeding your inner hero. But when you give in to bad habits — procrastinating, reacting in anger, or avoiding responsibility — the villain gets stronger.
The good news is that bad habits can be replaced by good ones if you keep practicing the right actions patiently. As shared in Small Steps to Personal Growth Every Day, even tiny, consistent efforts can create big change over time.
You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be aware of who you’re feeding.
How to Feed the Hero Within You Every Day
Here are some simple but powerful ways to strengthen your inner hero:
- Start with one small, good habit — like stretching for 5 minutes, drinking water in the morning, or writing down 3 things you’re grateful for.
- Watch your reactions — pause and notice how you respond to people or stress.
- Stay aware of triggers — what patterns make you act in ways that don’t align with your values?
- Swap one bad habit for something better — maybe choose a walk over screen time when you’re stressed.
These steps aren’t always easy, but they are worth it. Just like we explored in The Power of Willpower for Success, every time you resist the urge to feed the villain, your willpower grows. And so does your inner strength.
Feed the Hero Within You with Discipline and Self-Love
Many people think discipline is about being strict or harsh. But real discipline is one of the most loving things you can offer yourself. It means making choices today that will take care of your future self.
In Discipline as the Ultimate Act of Self-Love, we dive deeper into this idea — how saying “no” to bad habits is actually saying “yes” to a better life.
So the next time you feel tempted to quit, snap, or give in to old patterns, stop and ask yourself:
“Which character am I feeding right now?”
Final Thought: Who You Feed, You Become
The hero and the villain live inside all of us. They aren’t fantasy — they’re real parts of your inner world. And each day, you get to choose which one gets stronger.
Feed the hero within you, not just by doing the right thing, but by being kind to yourself, staying aware, and showing up every day with intention.
Because the life you dream of — peaceful, proud, and full of purpose — begins with one simple choice:
Who will you feed today?
It was a hot April afternoon in Pune. Meera had just come home after a tough client presentation that hadn’t gone as planned. Her phone buzzed—an angry email from her manager. Her heart started racing. She felt like screaming, typing out a sharp reply, or just breaking down in tears.
But just as her mind spiraled, her eyes caught the cover of a book her uncle had gifted her weeks ago: Beyond the Mind – The Golden Lotus Sutras on Meditation by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui. On a whim, she flipped it open, and a line stared back at her:
“When a situation is beyond your control, just be calm. Withdraw and meditate. Wait for a better time.”
She closed her eyes, sat on her mat, and began to take slow deliberate breaths.
Why Staying Calm in Difficult Situations Matters
Life throws googlies. People disappoint. Plans fall apart. And when things don’t go our way, our natural reaction is to fight, flee, or freeze. But what if we just… paused?
One of the most compassionate teachings from Master Choa Kok Sui is about exactly that — how to stay calm in difficult situations. When emotions are running high and control is slipping away, the best thing to do is not to push harder — it is to pull inward.
Staying calm doesn’t mean giving up. It means taking back your power.
The “Cup of Coffee” Mindset
There’s a helpful idea I once came across — not from the Golden Lotus Sutras, but worth remembering:
When faced with an adverse situation, ask yourself: what’s the worst that can happen? If you know you can handle that, then maybe it’s time to sit back and have a cup of coffee.
It sounds lighthearted, but it holds truth. Most challenges, while uncomfortable, are not unmanageable. Accepting the worst-case scenario often calms the mind. And once you’re calm, you’re able to think more clearly and make better choices.
What Opportunity Might This Adversity Hold?
Once you’ve found your calm — whether through breathing, reflection, or meditation — try asking:
“Is there an opportunity in this challenge that I might be missing?”
This idea didn’t come from Master Choa Kok Sui, but it’s something I’ve found powerful in life and in conversations with others. Often, difficult situations push us in new directions. They force growth. They shift perspectives. And sometimes, what feels like a roadblock can actually open a new door.

Meditation Is Not Escaping — It’s Returning to Yourself
Meditation isn’t about running away from reality. It’s about returning to yourself — the real you, not the reactive, worried version shaped by stress.
As Master Choa Kok Sui teaches, our thoughts and emotions cloud the aura like a thick shell. This fog distorts how we see the world. Through meditation, that fog lifts. You begin to see clearly, choose wisely, and act with grace.
If you’re working to deepen your meditation practice, these blogs might help:
Final Thoughts: You Are Stronger Than This Moment
Difficult moments are part of life. But how you respond to them — that’s where your power lies.
So the next time you’re in the middle of a storm, remember Meera, the mat, and the message from Master Choa:
“When a situation is beyond your control, just be calm. Withdraw and meditate. Wait for a better time.”
Take a breath.
Step back.
And know that calm is always within reach.
It was a quiet Sunday morning in Pune. Ten-year-old Aarav sat cross-legged in the puja room, eyes wide with frustration. He had just yelled at his younger sister, Myra, for breaking his science project. His mother, Meera, noticed the tension and gently handed him a glass of water.
“Beta, breathe,” she said softly, placing her hand on his shoulder. Aarav took a sip, still fuming.
“I worked so hard on it, and she ruined it! I couldn’t help it, I just got so angry,” he blurted out.
Meera smiled, not with judgment, but with understanding. “You know, Dadaji used to say, ‘We all carry a sky inside us — sometimes it’s clear, sometimes it’s stormy. The storm doesn’t make you bad. But if you don’t learn to calm the wind, it will keep blowing away your peace.’”
Aarav looked puzzled. “But how do I stop the storm?”
“That,” she said, “is where meditation and self-awareness come in. You learn to watch your feelings without getting caught in them. You don’t have to react just because you feel something. That’s how you grow stronger inside.”
What Happens When You Don’t Control Your Thoughts and Emotions
Have you ever gotten stuck in a loop of thinking too much and then saying or doing something you later regret? You’re not alone. Many of us struggle with how to stop overthinking and reacting without understanding what’s really going on inside. That’s why self-awareness is so important — and it often begins with stillness.
Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, in Beyond the Mind – The Golden Lotus Sutras on Meditation, wrote:
“Inner noise prevents you from knowing who you really are. Regulate your thoughts and emotions!”
And also:
“The cloud of thoughts and emotions in the aura is like a thick hard shell. It clouds everything a person sees, just like wearing dark glasses… Don’t meditate or think too much about those who hurt you or aggravate you. What you meditate on, you become!”
These quotes show that when your thoughts and emotions are loud and messy, your judgment gets cloudy. You react fast, and not always in the best way.
Self-Awareness Through Meditation Changes Everything
When we start practicing self-awareness through meditation, something amazing happens — we begin to notice our emotions instead of being ruled by them. We learn to control our thoughts and emotions, and we create space between what we feel and how we respond.
In this blog on achieving your goals, we learned how emotional clarity is essential for focus and success. Similarly, meditation trains your mind to slow down, to watch, and to stay grounded.
Want to understand how this actually works? This blog on the true purpose of meditation explains how it’s more than just calm — it’s transformation.
How to Stop Overthinking and Reacting: A Gentle Guide
Let’s walk through some practical steps:
- Pause when emotions rise – Don’t rush to speak or act.
- Reflect, don’t react – Ask yourself: “What am I feeling right now? What triggered me?”
- Observe your mind like a sky – Let thoughts float by like clouds, without grabbing them.
- Commit to a daily meditation habit – Even 10 minutes can help.
This blog shows how to make meditation part of your life — for good.
And if you’ve tried meditation but find it difficult, don’t worry — this post will help you understand why and guide you through the challenges.
Growth Doesn’t Happen Overnight
Learning how to stop overthinking and reacting takes time. You’re learning to understand yourself better — and that’s no small thing.
Just like small steps to personal growth add up, each moment of awareness builds your emotional strength.
It’s not about becoming emotionless. It’s about becoming emotionally wise.
Final Thoughts: Choose Awareness Over Impulse
When you learn to control your thoughts and emotions, you’re no longer at the mercy of your moods. You’re choosing growth, not just silence. You’re choosing peace, not just control.
Through self-awareness through meditation, you begin to notice patterns, triggers, and reactions — and slowly, you learn to transform them.
So, the next time you feel the storm rising inside, take a breath. Don’t run from the emotion. Observe it. Learn from it.
Because every pause you take is a powerful act of self-mastery.
Have you ever wanted to try meditation but just couldn’t stick with it?
You’re not alone. Most people struggle to stay consistent, even when they know how good meditation can make them feel. That’s why today, we’re talking about how to build a meditation habit that actually lasts—and transforms your life in the process.
The inspiration behind this blog comes from Beyond the Mind: The Golden Lotus Sutras on Meditation, written by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui (GMCKS). His advice is simple, powerful, and practical.
Let’s dive in.
Why is Meditation So Hard to Stick To?
We all live busy lives—school, work, family, social media—it can get overwhelming. Even though meditation only takes a few minutes, it’s easy to push it aside when we’re tired or distracted.
But here’s the thing: meditation isn’t just about relaxing. It’s about growing. (Check blog for more)
As GMCKS says:
“If you do not follow the schedule, you will not practise. If you do not practise, you will not advance spiritually. Follow the schedule.”
That’s why learning how to build a meditation habit is so important. Because when you stay consistent, your life begins to change in amazing ways.
A Simple Guide on How to Build a Meditation Habit
1. Make a Fixed Schedule
A practical tip from Beyond the Mind is:
“Make a schedule. Unless you fix the time, you will not meditate.”
Just like brushing your teeth, your body and brain get used to doing things at the same time each day. Try choosing a calm time—early morning or before bed. Even just 10 minutes is enough to start.
2. Stick With It for Two Weeks
Here’s the cool part: if you can meditate daily for two weeks, you’re already on your way.
“If you can follow a schedule for two weeks, you can follow it for a year. If you can follow it for one year, you can follow it for a lifetime.”
Let this motivate you. Don’t worry about being perfect. Just show up every day, even if you don’t feel like it.
3. Start with Guided Meditation
If you’re not sure where to begin, try Meditation on Twin Hearts, as taught by GMCKS. It’s guided, easy to follow, and incredibly powerful. It helps you bless the earth, open your heart, and connect with your higher soul.
The Real Reward: Peace, Progress, and Power
So, why should you care how to build a meditation habit?
Because consistency in meditation doesn’t just bring peace—it brings spiritual growth. It clears out negative thoughts and makes space for love, calm, and strength. Over time, you’ll feel lighter, more focused, and even more kind.
And as your connection with your Higher Soul grows, your life becomes more meaningful and joyful.
Your Next Step: Just Start
Remember, you don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be willing.
Start today—even if it’s just for 5 minutes of simple breathing exercises. Make that schedule. Set that intention.
Meditate regularly. That is the key.
That’s the secret of how to build a meditation habit—one day at a time.
Inspired by the teachings of Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, from “Beyond the Mind – The Golden Lotus Sutras on Meditation.”
Most people try meditation because they want to feel calm or less stressed. And honestly, that’s a great place to start. But what if I told you the purpose of meditation is much deeper than just peace of mind?
In Beyond the Mind: The Golden Lotus Sutras on Meditation by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, there’s a beautiful truth shared:
“The purpose of meditation in the long run is to achieve oneness with your higher soul.”
Understanding the Purpose of Meditation
So… what is meditation really for? Is it just sitting quietly with closed eyes?
Grand Master Choa Kok Sui explains that the purpose of meditation is actually to help you become one with your Higher Soul. In simple words, it means connecting with the real you—the wiser, more loving, more powerful part of yourself.
When you meditate, something amazing starts to happen. Slowly, all the things that weigh you down—like anger, fear, stress, jealousy—begin to fade away. Meditation has a purifying effect. It gently removes the negative stuff inside, making room for more love, peace, and clarity.
As Master says:
“Meditation speeds up the evolutionary process by gradually purifying negative tendencies.”
So yeah, meditation helps you relax—but it also helps you grow.
What Happens When You Connect With Your Soul?
As your connection to your higher soul gets stronger, your whole life starts to shift. You begin to feel more whole, more peaceful, and more fulfilled. You start living with more integrity and compassion—because you’re guided by your soul, not just your mind or emotions.
Grand Master Choa Kok Sui also shares this gem:
“The greater the infusion of divine energy from the higher soul, the stronger the soul contact becomes. You become more magnetic. Soul energy is the integrating factor.”
That means when you’re connected to your higher self, people feel it. They’re drawn to your energy. You become naturally peaceful, happy, and attractive—not because of how you look, but because of how you are.
That’s the real purpose of meditation. It transforms you from the inside out.
How to Begin Your Meditation Journey
If you’re wondering how to start, here’s a powerful suggestion straight from Grand Master Choa Kok Sui: Meditation on Twin Hearts.
This special meditation doesn’t just calm the mind. It opens the heart. It helps you bless the earth, heal yourself, and connect with divine energy—all at once. It’s simple, guided, and full of light.
You don’t have to be perfect. You just need to start.
So, What’s the Takeaway?
The purpose of meditation isn’t just stress relief (though that’s a bonus!). It’s about awakening the best version of yourself. It’s about growing, healing, and becoming one with your higher soul.
Peace is not the destination—it’s the result of living from the soul.
So, next time you sit to meditate, remember: you’re not just finding calm… you’re finding you.
