Lesson 1

Food & Water

Be aware of the essential needs to sustain this body on Earth. Satiating hunger and quenching thirst are essential for human health. Be aware of the kind of food we eat and the kind of water we drink. Water element also teaches us to be flexible akin to the nature of water. Food consumed is dissolved and nutrients absorbed by the digestive fires in the body. A balanced diet of the right nutrients and water keeps the body functioning at its optimum to sustain life. Let us ponder how aware we are of what we consume and how to do it better.

Lesson 2

Hygiene, Sleep & Physical Exercise

Besides food that is ingested, an awareness of personal hygiene, sleep, and physical exercise helps us stay healthy and strong. This helps keep this unique body humming at its best. Easily implementable, yet essential changes in your lifestyle regarding personal hygiene, sleep, and physical exercise brings perceptible and tangible rejuvenation.

Lesson 3

Appreciate Your Body

Learn how to appreciate your body or remind yourself to pay loving attention to it. The Body Scan exercise combines visualization and energizing effect of our loving attention. It uses the method of self-acceptance, by observing the parts of the body impartially, like a witness.

Lesson 4

Listen To Your Body

If you are aware of and appreciate your body, you would be able to listen to your body. This divine creation is a robust and well-functioning, well-oiled system that runs efficiently. All the systems within the body work in sync. However, when there is a problem, the body immediately cries out, sending signals of a malfunction. If you are alert and tuned in to your body, you can notice these signals and take timely measures. Awareness is, therefore, the key to understanding your body better.

Lesson 5

Sexuality

Is gender an important aspect when it comes to awareness of the body? Culture and upbringing have played a significant role in the sexuality of a person. For example, it may start with taboos about being a girl in some societies along with peer pressure, body image, and shaming. There is a prototype associated with the male and female, with certain expectations and mismatches. What happens when we fall short of the expected norm? Being unique, we must gracefully accept our orientation and live as per our individual traits and not based on society's requirements.

Lesson 6

Love & Accept Your Body

With awareness and acceptance of the physical body, love and respect your physical appearance and health. Once this bridge is crossed, you acknowledge your individuality and love this unique being called "I." This acceptance is essential to move beyond the physical aspects. You are what you are - beautiful and unique. Time will affect the physical body in many ways, which cannot be stopped. Accepting this timely and gracefully can help you to flow in life and 'be YOU'.

Lesson 7

Blossoms Of Love - Affirmations

Affirmations based on Mohanji’s "Blossoms of Love" meditation and previous lessons enable you to accept, love yourself, and expand yourself to feel and love the entire Universe. We learn to remain happy and peaceful and thus keep every being around us happy and peaceful. This leads to a blissful experience.

Lesson 8

Emotions

Mind matter includes mind, intellect, and ego. Food for the mind is emotions. Like with food for the body, overeating is harmful. "Storms of emotions are part of everyone's life. Faith is the pillar. Hold on to it and weather all the storms of life. That is the best way. Perhaps the only way," says Mohanji. All the emotions such as anger, hatred, jealousy, revenge, victimhood, sadness, and so on flow out quickly in succession during a trigger. This is where the need to be aware and watchful comes in. Do not react. Respond.

Lesson 9

Intellect

Mohanji always says the biggest barrier and the tallest wall of your life is the mind matter. Once you go beyond the mind through acceptance and control of emotions, you reach the intellect stage. Intellect is a refined aspect of the mind matter. Food for the intellect is information. Overeating is harmful. You need to break barriers of concepts and comforts by unlearning and becoming free from all the collected information. Then, you experience total freedom. You need to go beyond the barriers that limit your freedom and discover if you are operating from the intellectual level.

Lesson 10

Ego

The third part of the mind-matter is ego, which is the skeleton of your personality. A combination of the intellect knowledge and ego causes pride. Food for the ego is applauses, praises, and accolades. It is not very easy to understand if you are operating from ego as it is very subtle. The ego induces the intellect to judge, criticize, and condemn others by bringing in concepts. It is like an invisible thread that operates between emotions, intellect, and your true self. How do you identify if you are operating from the level of ego? Through awareness which brings humility.
