Good Morning
For the puzzle lovers, two words are hidden in today’s Mandala , a ten-letter word and a six-letter word. The alphabets are jumbled up. Have fun searching the letters and guessing the words.
Hint: these words appeared often in today’s and yesterday’s write-up 
Good morning friends
Yesterday I was talking about reflections and how other people are mirrors for us. While we are considering the fact that others can be a mirror for our behaviour, let us not forget that we ourselves are also acting as mirrors for others!
Whenever we interact with someone, the images that we project stem from our own thoughts and past experiences and our understanding and maturity and so on. If we are absolutely aware, we can project a true, unbiased image; but most of the times, this is not the case and the images that we project are biased images.
I remember learning Newton’s third law of motion in school. It says, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. But with respect to the reflections that we are talking about, I think every action has the same kind of reaction, which may at times be much stronger than the original action.
To give you an example: if I am interacting with someone, and that person retaliates with anger, then it is very likely that I too will get angry and react back in a similar way, or at times even violently. And this process can be repeated again and again as the other person reacts in a similar manner.
Do you remember visiting places which have many mirrors placed at angles, and you can see hundreds of images of yourself in those mirrors? A similar thing can happen with emotions reflected in the mirrors around us, especially with negative emotions. And so the negative feelings like anger or hatred or jealousy can get multiplied several times! I’m sure you can imagine the ultimate results of these reflections. … obviously, there will be dire consequences affecting our relationships, our lives as well as our health on a personal level.
To prevent this, once again, it is important to become aware of how we are mirroring the behaviour of others. And the best way to do this is to practise Meditation!
I hope that we can become more mindful and aware of the reflections that we are projecting from our own mirrors,
Love,
Anjali
