Stillness - The power within you.

Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev Teachings on Stillness:
Stagnation is a certain disease. It is anti-life. Stillness is a tremendous amount of life not manifesting itself in any way. It is just there – potent. That is God. God is stillness, not stagnation. The mind is stagnation.

Sadhana is a force which moves you from stagnation to stillness, but between stagnation and stillness, when they are together, there seems to be very little difference, since your logical mind only understands in terms of moving and not moving. Not moving is stagnation, but stillness is also not moving.

If you look at it objectively, stillness and stagnation are about the same. Physically they could be seen as about the same, but qualitatively they are worlds apart. A person who is meditating and a person who is sleeping may look about the same. One is sitting and sleeping, another is lying down and sleeping, that is all. For a person who doesn’t know the difference, that’s all he sees.


Externally there may be no difference between stillness and stagnation. Internally there is a tremendous difference. From stagnation to stillness, from ignorance to enlightenment, that’s the difference.

Once the stillness comes into your life, then the mind also becomes absolutely still. When your mind becomes still, your intelligence explodes.
******************************************************************************
Pause a while and observe your mind. Watch those continuous chatter that goes on. Try allowing the mind to still...oh! no..don't try..Just allow the chatter to die down by steadying your breathing..Feel a detachment to all things/people in your life.. Stillness allows you to look within you and see the unlimited treasure..your unlimited potential..

Tomorrow is not promised..!!

One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't anymore. No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more 'just one minute.' Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away,
never to return before we can say good-bye, say 'I love you.'
So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick.
This is true for marriage ... and old cars ... and children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.
Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a classmate we grew up with. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.
Life is important, like people we know who are Special, and so, we keep them close!
Suppose one morning you never wake up, Do all your friends know you love them?
I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling, or three words needing to be said.
Let everyone of your friends know you love them, even if you think they don't love you back. You would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile can do.
And just in case GOD calls me home .....
I LOVE YA!!
Live today to the fullest because
Tomorrow is not promised.

Nifty heading into 13th week of uptrend, to have more choppiness...

Nifty heading to next res. zone of 4360 - 4420..with 4300-4250 as critical supports.

Nifty holds above 10DMA, heading into some resistances @ 4320-4360.

Nifty breaks the 4155 - 4170 supports decisively but "OS"...

27.05.09-9.30AM: Markets action at crucial time delays by a day or two. The expected end of the corrective move got delayed by a day and it is certain now to go for the 5th up with the world market cues.We wanted the big stocks to move up NOW..!!! on 26.05.09 but they will do so today.

Nifty contracts to 4155 - 4270 to expand to..??

Do not rely on the VIX index for this series due to options swinging wildly with Nifty's sudden expansion & contraction..the index was @ 83 a couple of days ago and now it is @ 43. Our stochastics have served us well during this corrective fall.
Will it be a decisive day tomorrow for our markets..?? Stocks are making new highs too during this corrective phase..the big ones need to move up NOW..!!Keep an open mind and approach the market.

Copying the teacher...Look within..search ends.

A disciple who loved and admired his teacher decided to observe his behaviour minutely, believing that if he did everything that his teacher did, then he would also acquire his teacher’s wisdom.

The teacher always wore white, and so his disciple did the same.

The teacher was a vegetarian, and so his disciple stopped eating meat and replaced it with a diet of vegetables and herbs.

The teacher was an austere man, and so the disciple decided to devote himself to self-sacrifice and started sleeping on a straw mattress.

After some time, the teacher noticed these changes in his disciple’s behaviour and asked him why.

‘I am climbing the steps of initiation,’ came the reply. ‘The white of my clothes shows the simplicity of my search, the vegetarian food purifies my body, and the lack of comfort makes me think only of spiritual things.’

Smiling, the teacher took him to a field where a horse was grazing.

‘You have spent all this time looking outside yourself, which is what matters least,’ he said. ‘Do you see that creature there? He has white skin, eats only grass and sleeps in a stable on a straw bed. Do you think he has the face of a saint or will one day become a real teacher?’..........By Paulo Coehlo.
***************************************************************************
We admire a lot of people in the public eye, sometimes people think if they studied them they could be like them.Don't you spend all your time looking outside of yourself as your own truth is far more important than any others'. Allow others to follow their truth , have your own beliefs ,be your own legend .. I think we can learn from others, but you can never be me and I can never be you ….Every one's truth is inside of themselves .Most clash over the supremacy of each one's truth in vain. Let each one's truth be....
Unfortunately packaging, branding of all & sundry including spirituality have taken last few generations into its fold that people see less of the content/ truth and more of the gloss/ exterior.
The most important thing is to look within and evolve. From that we go on.
We try to see inside of our own soul - to find this light, to find this love.This love - this light - God - will guide you, will take you places you would never dream of having.

Nifty bounces from the lows of the day after 3 days of correction..

None of the world mkts made new highs post 11th May..!!

All that world markets did while India broke out big time was to make a lower high, suggesting a correction to the entire rally from March.09 may have commenced all over.
There is a slimmer of a hope of a "5" th up in world mkts and for that to happen they should find support near the recent lows. Simple channel breaks suggest a larger complex correction for many weeks.
In such a scenario, Nifty may trade in a very broad range of 3700 to 4500 (+ / - 50-100 points) in the coming weeks.This is not to suggest a straight down to 3700 but only to point out to a correcting scenario.One cannot ignore a strong supply zone of 4500-4600 area.
A weekly close @ 4200 or lower will give quite an ugly bearish weekly candle. A close above 4300 will keep the bias to Bulls.A bearish looking weekly candle will have a gravestone doji as well as Island reversal possibilities for the coming week.
Nifty was holding back while world markets made new highs owing to election results and post event it overshot the channel.
Now it will fall in line with the rest of the markets and start to trade inside the channel and there will be bounces during the corrective phase.
A bear rally can end abruptly without any warning..There is no follow up buying after the highs...
Now that the event is out of the way, Correction is the only possible scenario.

Alternate view: If Nifty is able to sustain above 4070-4170 area, it can attempt another high. We will get those cues in the coming days.

Trade light till more clarity emerges.

The price behaviour needs to be viewed as part of the bearish trend and not as a part of a bull trend. Then, a neutral study can be made out.

Nifty heading towards gap area..

If 4170 does not hold, correction can get deeper towards 4070.("a" = "c" - 5-min Chart)
A weekly close @ 4200 or lower will give quite an ugly bearish weekly candle. A close above 4300 will keep the bias to Bulls.A bearish looking weekly candle will have a gravestone doji as well as Island reversal possibilities for the coming week.
A bear rally can end abruptly without any warning..There is no follow up buying after the highs...

Nifty's correction continues..watch < 4240 - 4290 > at the open

The correction that started from yesterday's high of 4506 looks to be ending at today's close or may extend briefly at tomorrow's open. A move past 4290 in the opening hour will have upsides and a fall below 4240 may lead to more corrections towards 4170 or lower..
There was two way movements in stocks while the index is correcting, suggesting more upsides possibility once the correction ends.

A possible trading range for the coming days..

Nifty to trade in a broad range in the coming days..

Nifty's actual high today is 4506 and that coincides with the EW min.target for the "c".(Refer the day chart.)
However, "c" can go higher than the "A" move which would depend on the external cues.
There was a very huge volume based selling in the opening hour and finally Nifty ended 100 points off its high.
Nifty is likely to trade in a broad range and there will be opportunities for both Bulls & Bears in the coming days.Trading with intra technicals might prove profitable.

Bull charge..2 upward freezes..a rare sight..!!

BULL glorified outside the NewYork Exchange and we saw today a rare sight of 2 upward freezes of this market by the bulls(Rampaging).
TA showed its inherent strength thru' strong weekly rsi and it trapped the bears with a spectacular divergence trap.!!


A positive divergence in US mkts may result in some upward moves in world mkts and our mkts may see some intraday profit bookings tomorrow. A buy on dips should be rewarding for traders in the coming few days..
