The Rosedale Diet
Iam often asked to briefly summarize what it is that establishes health. I can do-- Ron Rosedale , MD
this in a single sentence. “Health and life span is determined by the proportion
of fat versus sugar people burn throughout their lifetime” The more fat you burn
as fuel, the healthier you will be. The more sugar you burn as fuel, the more
disease-ridden you will be, and the shorter your life will likely be.

Practical Steps to Increase your Success Consciousness
There are several powerful techniques that you can use immediately as you embark on your journey of having positive thinking patterns guide you to whatever it is you want to achieve. The effectiveness of these techniques depends on continuous and repetitive exposure to positive messages that trigger positive thoughts.
Create a positive environment
First of all, it is important that you create a positive work and home environment. What are the areas where you spend most of your time during the day? Is it an office, a kitchen, a study, a factory etc.? Is the environment where you spend a lot of your time a motivating place filled with positive messages? Does it inspire you to be creative and have positive thoughts?
For example, if you spend most of your day in an office in front of a computer, install inspiring screensavers or desktop backgrounds. Decorate your walls with inspiring pictures. Have pictures of significant and successful moments on your desk. All these "things" around you affect your thoughts. Make sure that the places you spend most of your time trigger positive thoughts. Once you've established a positive environment, you'll see these your positive messages on a continuous and repetitive basis.
Expose Yourself to Positive and Inspiring Information
A lot has been written about the effects of our thinking on our life. By now many people know that in some way or another, their thinking affects their life. We hear things like: "Think positive. As you think, so shall you be. You can choose to see the glass half empty or half full". Does this sound familiar? And yet, how many people, maybe including yourself, have you encountered who you would truly classify as "positive thinkers"? Probably not too many, right? As soon as we get up in the morning we usually get busy doing things and let our thoughts flow freely as the day unfolds. The amount of information our brain processes in a day is unbelievable. Therefore, it is not easy to constantly monitor our thoughts and make sure they are always positive. We can make a true difference, however, when we consciously chose to expose ourselves to positive, inspiring and uplifting information. Minimize the time you spend processing negative information. Ask yourself what kind of books are you reading, or what kind of programs are you watching on TV. Are they inspiring, encouraging and positive, or do they expose you to information that decreases your energy level?
Affirmations
Affirmations are a wonderful and effective tool to focus your mind on positive thoughts. The best way to use affirmations is to write down what you want to achieve. The important thing is that you write it in the first person, present tense as if it had already taken place. For example: "I am earning $ 50,000. I live in a red two story brick house with an ocean view from my bedroom window." Be as specific as you can in your description. Read your affirmation( s) several times a day.
Visualization
This technique is often used by athletes. It's all about seeing yourself succeeding. Visualization is most effective if you define a few moments each day where you can be at a quiet place without distractions. As you close your eyes, you visualize what it's like to see your goal fulfilled. As you do this ask yourself "What does it look like, how do I feel about it, what does it smell like etc.?" It is like a movie sequence that you keep playing and refining in your mind until it becomes and feels real. Repeat this exercise several times each day.
Affirmations combined with Visualization
The combination of both affirmation and visualization is an extremely strong tool. If you can both say your affirmations to yourself and visualize the achievement of your affirmation at the same time you actually multiply the effectiveness of both tools.
Success Conversations
Each day many of us spend a fair amount of time in transit from place A to B and back. Think about all the time you either spend in your car or public transportation on your way to work and back, the time you invest taking your children to school and back etc. You may want to use this time constructively to increase your success consciousness by having "success conversations" with yourself. You can do this by imagining a situation where you've already achieved your goal and now tell others about it. Say your goal was to lose 20 pounds and be in great physical shape. Your conversation then could be "You know Mary, I just decided to lose 20 pounds and work out on a regular basis and it really didn't take me too long to reach that goal. I now just feel like a new person and get so many compliments on my achievement." Be creative in your success conversations. If your goal is to start your own business, imagine yourself talking to your employees about the stellar results your company just achieved, or see yourself giving an interview to a business news reporter about the success of your company. "Success conversations" is a very powerful in focusing your mind on success. Again, the key is continuity and repetition.
Prayers
Whatever your faith of spiritual orientation may be, prayers are excellent and proven means to materialize your goals. By praying we are asking our creator for help in achieving our objectives. Praying is most effective because it is often connected with a strong faith or belief system. The actual belief in that "As you ask, you shall receive" will drive our thinking patterns and actions to the realization of our goals. Since many people pray each day before they go to bed, it is easy to establish a daily routine.
Talk to your subconscious mind
Whichever of the above tool, or combination of tools, you chose to apply, from a timing perspective we strongly suggest that you also apply it / them right after you wake up and before you go to sleep. Many studies have proven that our subconscious mind is very receptive when we start relaxing before we fall asleep and right after we wake up in the morning. An interesting fact about our subconscious mind is that it unconditionally "believes" whatever we tell it. It is like a little machine in the background that just executes commands without questioning them. Therefore, if we succeed in reaching our subconscious mind with continuous, positive and constructive commands, it will automatically start executing and focus on the materialization of our goals.
Take Action
Last but not least it is incredibly important that we start taking action toward our goals. Often times we simply think that our goals are so out of reach that we don't even know where and how to start which then can lead to not taking any action at all. The good news is that it doesn't really matter how big our goals are. The simple fact that we take action, no matter how small, sends a very strong signal that we are actually in the process of realizing our goal. In other words, we are already moving in the direction of that goal. Remember "Every journey starts with one single step" - Confucius. Let' assume that you'd like to be independent and start your own business. This may appear to be a rather daunting task. However, even if you just start researching about the market, or take a business class at your community college, or think about a name for your business, there are always small but achievable steps where you can take action toward your goal. Remember, the "size" of your action does not matter. What matters most is that you do take action.
Take Decision
Taking decision is most important tool.You should take a firm decision that you will put your efforts to become successful and you will put your attention towards success.

Top 5 steps for building wealth consciousness
To attract wealth, you first have to BE wealthy. THEN, you think wealthy thoughts, speak wealthy affirmations, and take wealthy action.
“But how can I BE wealthy if I’m NOT wealthy?” you ask.
Logical question, but it’s based on the false assumption that you don’t have wealth. You HAVE wealth. You’re simply not aware of it. You have constructed a physical reality that prevents you from experiencing Wealth. This can all be explained with the science of Quantum Physics. So let’s look at some very basic concepts of Quantum Physics that will explain what I’m talking about.
First, you probably are aware - at least on an intellectual level - that at a subatomic level, we, and everything else in the Universe, is Energy. When you break everything down, we’re all made of the same stuff, and we’re all connected.
THE UNIVERSE IS AN OCEAN OF ENERGY
The Universe is just this huge ocean of Energy, vibrating at various frequencies which gives the illusion of individuation. That is, we experience the illusion of separateness from each other, physical objects, and wealth because our “senses” are decoding the Energy around us in such a way as to create our physical reality. This all happens in our thoughts.
So, to simplify things quickly here for the sake of time (another illusion), “things” only exist because we observe them. It is in our observing that things come into existence. Without our observing, things are simply “waves” - probabilities of existence. Physicists agree on this.
Our beliefs are a very powerful Energy system in our lives. Our beliefs allow or disallow certain experiences in our lives, including wealth.They make up who we are. We “BE” in the world according to our beliefs. If we are being “someone who is trying to get wealthy by repeating affirmations” , then THAT is what our reality will be. We will just be TRYING to get wealthy.
WEALTH IS A DECISION YOU CAN MAKE
We have to make the decision that we ARE wealthy, contrary to any external physical evidence. That evidence is an illusion based on the belief systems that have guided who we have been being up to that point. A truly wealthy person isn’t wealthy because they have money. They have money, because they are wealthy! That’s the distinction that most people have backward!
Here’s an example to illustrate what I mean: Tony Robbins became a millionaire at a very young age. Then, due to a series of poor judgments, he lost it. But within a year, he had it back. How did he do this? HE NEVER LOST HIS WEALTH. He only lost his money, which is just a symbol of wealth! Because he is “Wealth Conscious”, he literally “magnetically attracts” wealth into his life. He truly can’t help it! It’s who he is! And there are thousands out there like him, who attract wealth simply because it’s who they are. You can make the same decision and have the same results.
Conversely, a person who has grown up with “lack consciousness” can win millions in the lottery and lose it within a year. Their consciousness - their ENERGY - simply can’t maintain the attraction to Wealth because they aren’t “wealthy” in who they are being.
But again, Wealth is a decision. If you aren’t currently experiencing wealth, you first need to realize that abundance is everywhere.. .in fact it’s all there is. Poverty and lack are the illusions.
You can shift your consciousness to Wealth - BE Wealth - by simply making the decision, THEN your thoughts, speech, and action will allow you to experience the wealth that is yours! This is indeed a complex subject which challenges our core belief systems. But it is those very belief systems that keep a person in a state of lack.
Look at your financial situation today. Look at your core beliefs about Wealth and You, and see if your life isn’t a PERFECT reflection of your beliefs. Then, look where those beliefs may have originated. When you can awaken to yourself that your beliefs create your reality, rather than the other way around, you have the option to truly be free to experience a reality of prosperity that you deserve!
"HOW CAN I BE WEALTHY IF I'M NOT WEALTHY?"
To attract wealth, you first have to BE wealthy. THEN, you think wealthy thoughts, speak wealthy affirmations, and take wealthy action.
“But how can I BE wealthy if I’m NOT wealthy?” you ask.

INTENT + EFFORT + GRACE = SUCCESS
In this article you will be introduced to the secret of getting Success by Acharya Sri Samadarhini(From Acharyaji talk on Sarva Jana samkshema Maha Pooja held at Warangal Andhra Pradesh on Dec 21st 2008)
“ Firstly Succeed Internally the goal you want to succeed externally”- Acharya samadarshiniji
Why is it so?
We have to understand that they have a pattern. A successful person keeps some rules in his life and his life goes accordingly.
How does the success journey starts in one’s life:
It all starts with a decision to become successful.You become successful only if u decide to become .
We all know the story of Alibaba and the forty thief’s. AliBaba happens to overhear a group of forty thieves visiting their treasure store in the forest where he is cutting wood. The treasure is in a cave, the mouth of which is sealed by magic spell. Alibaba utters the magic spell and the door of cave opens and the rest is known.,
Similarly in our life the door of success is closed. All we need to do is to open the door of success.
Acharyaji says that there is a success mantra to open the door of Success.
It is
INTENT + EFFORT + GRACE = SUCCESS
INTENT or YATNA:
It is otherwise called sankalpa. There is a lot of difference between a wish and an INTENT . Mere wish is not sufficient, the wish has to become passion and the passion should have emotion with it.then it becomes a strong INTENT.
-Where does the INTENT come from?
There are two ways from which one can get/take an INTENT
1. From fear
2. From Inspiration.
Sankalpa is the keen thing in getting success. Sankalpa must not come from jelousy, greed or comparision.
The more strong is our Sankalpa the more is the probability of success. We take the sankalpa once it may gets weakened sometimes or strong sometimes.
What is that which boost or weakens our INTENT?
It is our Belief system which either boost or weakens our Intent. If we have an INTENT and our beliefs is completely opposite to it we cant get success. Our Belief system should support the INTENT. Our INTENT and our BELIEF should become one.
How are these BELIEF created?
Beliefs are born from repeated situations are experiences in our life .If we observe our thoughts, fears there lies a belief behind each one of them which are stored in our unconscious mind . Observe your beliefs you have in your life and pray AMMA BHAGAVAN to make your sankalpa and your Beliefs to become one.
Sadhana:
Keep both of your hands gently on Sreemurthi ,close your eyes and pray Amma bhagavan to give good beliefs in your life and ask to give deeksha , then slowly keep both of your hands on your head, now the grace enters into you which you may experience as a silence or bliss or lite shock or numbness or unconditional love etc.,
EFFORT or PRAYATNA:
To be successful effort is crucial. Not only Intent one has to do consistent effort in the direction of our intent.
How should the Effort must be:
1.Consistent Effort: consistent or continous effort only brings success.
2. Good Effort: our effort should be beneficial to all.
Grace or DAIVANUGRAHA:
Grace is also crucial in one's success. How does the grace come.
Shri bhagavan says there are four things on which the abundacy of grace depends.
1. Authentic in prayer.
2. Emotion in the prayer.
3. Bond with the God.
4. Focus on solution .

Shri Bhagavan's New Year(2009) Message
Shri Bhagavan Message....
The new year is meant to Dream and to bring forth a new Creation . Let your feelings grow wings an fly beyond the farthest horizons of your imagination
HAPPY NEW YEAR ... New Website Inaugaration By Shri Bhagwan

As the New Year unfolds, bringing in a new turn of events, we too at Oneness are racing ahead at breakneck speed. This year marks the launch of our all new website www.onenessindia. org on January 1st, 2009.
The website is inaugurated at the Golden City – Phase I, with Sri Bhagavan delivering the New Year message at 8:45 am (IST).
www.onenessindia. org is an initiative by Oneness to bring to you the spirit behind the vision founded by Sri Amma Bhagavan- To set Humanity free.
Oneness with a vastly liberal and secular approach is an attempt to bring humanity together in a spirit of harmony, love and connectedness. This approach could be attributed to a very unique perception that the founders
Sri Amma Bhagavan share, who emphasize the beauty and importance of religious and cultural variety as every human being is made unique. It is therefore their message to the world that Oneness is not necessarily about making everyone embrace the same system of belief, doctrine or tradition but more a process of discovering the truth that is inherent in every tradition.
Oneness as a concept is beautiful, as an experience is staggering.
www.onenessindia. org is a place where the community can gather and move towards greater connection and Oneness. The focus of this website would be to offer upcoming events, news, information, photos, videos, testimonials and lots more than literature you would want to read and see, leading to deepen and accelerate your personal growth. This website also features upcoming courses and calendar of the different programs that would happen in Oneness from time to time. This would also be a place where we could come together to experience and share the Oneness Deeksha, to learn, to grow and open our hearts; a place to laugh and even cry; a place to deepen our connection and journey into Oneness.
It will be a home for all of Oneness, its community,
supporters and recipients.
Log on to www.onenessindia. org begin your New Year with a journey into Oneness.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009
MAY AMMABHAGWAN BLESSINGS AND PRESCENCE GUIDE YOU ALWAYS
