YOGA MEDITATION

In the July 30,2005 edition of KAYAMOBATO-ONLINE (simulcast on 3 shortwave bands) formatted to the needs of OFWs in the Middle East, South East Asia, parts of Europe, India and New York) we had Architect Felino Palafox, Jr. talking to and inspiring our Pinoy listeners on the secret of his success.

Not many of us realize it, but Jun Palafox is one Pinoy architect who knew early on that to be successful one has to look outside of its natural boundaries. Sharing statistics,he says that more than 99 percent of the world's market is outside our country,and that out of the 6 billion population of the world we are only 84 million or less than one percent.This figures has served to motivate this firm that started with three people in 1989 to grow at an amazing rate to a present 150 full-time staff, landing in the world's Top 200 architects and with an ISO Certificate for Quality Management System for office operations for architecture, urban planning,intrior design,,site and vertical engineering and landscape architecture.

When asked to share to the Pinoy overseas workers how he dealt with "homesickness", this Pinoy architect who once had a two year stint in Dubai where he worked as a city planning consultant, revealed his regular communion with God as a source of his creative skills and turning to Him only for guidance in dealing with the hardship that confronts most OFWs.

He advised the listeners that homesickness can be addressed simply by constant communication with their family back home.

We taped today kayamobato -online August 6,2005 edition. Our Pinoy listeners travelling around the globe as called for by the nature of their work are not as updated on what's happening in the country.

For the benefit of the listeners who heard the challenge to practice the five principles of social balance, the question of whether the present political disaster could have been prevented if all of us heeded the princples of non-injury, benevolent truthfulness, non-stealing, non-indulgence and recognising everyone and everything as an expression of the Supreme Father.

No doubt many of the constituents who placed their leaders to position of power has been badly injured by the betrayal of their leaders that they trusted. It is needless to elaborate that many our leaders have not been observing benevolent truthfulness. Only a few among our politicians and government administrators cannot be accused of stealing public funds. Most of us have over-indulged in excessive enjoyment of physical comfort at the expense of ecological degradation. Many are not aware that by recognizing everyone and everything as manifestations of God , man will eliminate the tendencies to harm, to selfishly lie, to steal, or to exploit others through over-indulgence.

Easier said than done? Nope, try Yoga Meditation. And try to apply the other principles of yama and niyama in our day-to-day lives.
