Do less, achieve more – are you?

Dear fellow friends,

I’ve just finished a wonderful book and wish to recommend it to you. The book’s called “Do Less, Achieve More” by Miss Chin-Ning Chu.

By the look at the title, you may think this is about doing things the lazy way. Well, it’s not so much about being lazy, but rather, it is about accomplishing what you want in an effortless way.

This book talks mainly about making peace with your body, mind and soul so that you’re at your optimal state to live a better life.

When your mind is at ease, you can create wonders.

You can achieve far more than if you struggle and let anxiety control your life. This book intertwines the author's delightful insights into life with the chronicles of how the Rainmaker has brought rain to the village - with guidance from the Divine..

This book delicately combines the 1. practical and 2. spiritual applications of how we can achieve the success we desire, while doing less. It reveals the path to you with 3 Secrets...

The 1st secret advocates that you should Fine Tune Your Action. The author reiterates the good habit of relaxing yourself and embracing ease so that you can do more. When you tackle any tasks with great anxiety, you are taking tremendous efforts but achieve little. You are desiring and thinking too much. You are tired even before you start.

Learn to strike a balance between the efforts of striving and the ease of fluid action. She suggests that to ease your anxiety, learn to know what to give up. Don’t over-exert yourself. Accomplish what is needed and let the Angel of Good Fortune catch up with you.

Miss Ching-Ning Chu also suggests that you should feel contented everyday. Praise yourself for the daily achievements that you accomplish everyday, whether they are big or small. Rejoice your capabilities. Be grateful of what you have now. This will motivate you to move on to the next challenge with a sense of bliss.

I think you will love the Directed Dreaming Technique that she goes on to recommend. This technique can transform your life to help you fulfill your ambitions in life. You'll learn to tap on the principles of quantum leap to jump-start your goal manifestation process through actions such as visualization, creating your vision board, excelling yourself by attempting things you can’t do and also mimicking whom you aspire to be.

The 2nd secret is about Putting Your Mind At Peace. Miss Chu reminds us that when one is suffering from irritation and a stressful lifestyle, it is meaningless - unless it is accompanied with wisdom. Irritation is a gentle reminder for us to readjust our lives. When we treat our struggles like playing a competitive game of soccer, we start to appreciate stress as an inevitable part of the human condition. Have fun while playing the game of life. We are the divine within, we have the power to achieve anything that we set our heart on.

Giving in to the divine will does not mean we are weak. We accept this as divine guidance to apply our strengths and capabilities in areas to bring about the betterment for us and our loved ones. Every failure is guiding us towards our higher calling in life. She assures us that we encounter no failures in life, only divine redirection.

Do not be afraid to entertain the possibility of not surviving and facing your worst circumstances; for these are moments that you will experience a sudden burst of blissful courage that is rooted to your willingness to not survive. When you are willing to face death, its spirit will protect you from the fear of being harmed.

Ms Chu also recommends us to grant ourselves grace. Be good to yourself. Affirm that you are complete and perfect. You are bigger than the obstacles you face. Don’t beat yourself down. We are the divine within that thrives and live within us. Also, be graceful to others. Do not bear hatred to others, do not resist their behaviors that you cannot condone. How hateful you are will determine how hateful your mind will be to you in equal amount. Free yourself of such hatred. Rejoice that you are graceful; and it will invite the positive circumstances to come into your life.    

The 3rd Secret is about Discovering The Divine Power. Ms Chu recommends us to stop reacting to every circumstances. Practise restfully controlling. She imparts a few meditation techniques that teach us how to stay calm and in the “present”. This will allow us to live and work more effectively. 

I particularly like the HAM’SA  breathing technique. She claims that in ancient time, this technique is secretly guarded.  Students has to clean cowsheds for 18 years to prove their worthiness to receive this profound teaching. 

This breathing technique basically requires you to quiet down yourself in a serene location and breath deeply in and out. By steady fixation of the mind at the 2 spaces between the breaths, you will experience the full nature of Bhairava – God. It is the gateway to the mystery of this Universe and beyond.

Ms Chu concludes by advocating readers to learn to let go. For most of us, the fear of letting go of our efforts and struggles is what keeps the struggle and effort in place. The  more we dwell on the recurring theme that “if I give up my efforts and struggle, God will punish me for not struggling and trying harder”, the more we reinforce our behavior to equate hard work & struggles with success. "Freedom is born out of experiencing that there is no need for suffering and struggling". It is knowing, “I am releasing and letting go.”

You'll love this wonderful book that gives you so many delightful insights on how to live your life at ease with the least efforts…


Hope this helps,
