What is the difference between feeling happy and feeling contented?
Feeling happy - is when you feel like you have a spring in your step, when you want everyone else to feel as good as you, and you smile alot, outwardly and inwardly. Contenement is feeling comfortable, secure and confident, its a sense of inner peace, knowing that everything is okay in your world. This is my interrpretation anyway.
What's the simplest form of meditation for a beginner to attempt?
The simplest is probably just sitting quietly for 10 minutes and focusing on your breathing, each inhale and exhale. Don't worry about clearing your head at first b/c you won't be able to. That takes practice. Find a quiet place and set aside 10 minutes when you are least likely to be interrupted. Sit, close your eyes and focus on each inhalation and exhalation. Your brain will race with thoughts at first but don't try to fight it. Let the thoughts come and go and gently bring your focus back to your breathing. Gradually increase by a minute or two a day until you get to 20 - 30 minutes.
Women, what sparks your potentiality? What special talents do you gift to the world?
My spark becomes a flame & the flame a fire when I walk with Spirit. When I walk alone, in forgetfulness of Spirit I lose myself! I have no "special talents", Nothing in any way sets me apart from any other. But the Spirit takes the forgotten, the insignificant, the scorned of this world & transforms them into the likeness of itself. May I always strive to be a perfect reflection! Many Blessings!
What are the behaviors of a confident person?
Genuine confidence is something likeRelaxed attitude- he has that cool calm presence that shows he's in control.Slow speech with a modulating tone- he doesn't jump on conversation or shout to be heard. He speaks so you want to listen.Doesn't interrupt- he understands that he has all the time in the world to respond so why interrupt?Always having an open body posture- he doesn't lurk in a corner with an empty bottle of beer trying to look cool. He opens up and proclaims availability to everyone.Maintains constant eye contact- like always. You'll never see him feel intimidated by anyone.Assertive and makes his opinions clear- he makes his opinions known to others but he doesn't do it to offend.Walks deliberately- he walks like he owns the whole planet. Ever seen Grant Cardone walk? Then you know what I mean.Doesn't try to please anyone- he doesn't care whether you like him or not, abuse him or not. That's your problem and not his. He is self sufficient and does only what he thinks is right.Doesn't hurry to respond to people- he is definitely not a people pleaser. When you call his name, he hears and turns around slowly.Does what others fear to do- he has control over his emotions, though he may feel fear, he proceeds to act anyway.He smiles simply because he knows life is good.
What is the best thing about someone born under the cancer sign?
Positive Traits: kind, loving, emotional, intuitive, imaginative, shrewd, cautious, protective and sympathetic. Negative Traits: changeable, moody, over-emotional, touchy, untidy, clinging, unable to "let go," and a tendency to wallow in self-pity. Likes: hobbies, romance, children, parties, home and country. Dislikes: failure, opposition, aggravating situations, being told what to do and being given advice...whether good or bad. Natives of Cancer are probably most in tune with those governed by Pisces, since Pisces is prone to moods just like Cancer, but of a less volatile nature. This is a couple who will find peace and harmony throughout the majority of their relationship. Scorpio, another Sign ruled by the element of Water, would also be favorable since Scorpio is equal to the moods of Cancer and capable of great understanding. Cancer finds the Scorpio depth of character intriguing and will certainly appreciate the rich view of life inherent in the Scorpio nature, to say nothing of the awareness and perception associated with that Sign. This is a couple who will likely provide everything either has ever wanted in a relationship. The physical chemistry here is quite amazing...it is long-lasting and only gets better with the passage of time.

What one word defines you?
SOUL“I don't have a soul, I am a soul in this body”We always say my hand my heart my stomach my head and not I the hand, I the stomach, I the head.If I am not these body parts, then who am I?I am a soul.We are subconsciously aware about this. This is the reason we say RIP when someone dies. The body stays behind but it's the soul we want to be at rest.We often use the term “soul mates”. What does it mean?And moreover every Holy scripture does mention about us being souls.But we don't realise and become too much attached to this body, causing us pain and fear of death.Do think about it.Om Shanti.
