Work in progress

Everything that we see and experience,

It is work in progress and we are learning.

Then one day something happens,

We hit that emptiness, that nothingness,

Our being has revealed itself,

It doesn't need a name or a label,

It is pure awareness,

All the memories and experiences,

Good or bad have transcended.

Attachments and duality disappear,

And we remain our true self,

As much as we can, 

Waiting to be embraced by some higher power. ❤🙏

Not an easy path

When we embark on a personal growth journey,

The path is never that straight forward,

Some days we feel aware and connected,

With everyone and everything around us.

Other days, we feel constricted and frustrated.

The thing is, it is all a learning experience,

Constancy in our journey is important,

Whether through prayers, meditation or other means, 

To remain motivated and grow,

At our own pace. 🙏

When you are unwell.

When you feel unwell with a cold or any other health issues, besides rest, your body is asking for your attention. When you give that attention there is something deeper. Give some time to this part of you. This is probably your 'inner being' or your 'consciousness' Observe within to see what it is saying. It may be asking questions which only you can answer. For example, it may ask:

• Who are you?
• Why are you here?
• Where are you going?
• What do you need to do?

Or, it may ask:

• What are you grateful for?
• What is your life's purpose?
• How will your deal with those issues at work?
• How will you improve your personal relationship with someone close to you?

Such precious moments throw up questions, the answers of which do not come from your mind - the answers come from a much deeper place - your inner being.

Just to clarify, being unwell does not mean physically unwell. The insights can come in other situations such as when being sad, feeling low or even depressed. Or, in your meditation or a prayer. Such triggers are invaluable if we deal with them wisely and skilfully.

Recently I had a bad cold and spent few days in bed: I was really suffering.  Then  after my meditation on day one, a number of questions came up - the answers included identifying what I was grateful for, titles and firm ideas about new workshops and confirming my purpose. 

Reach out to yourself from within. It may change your life and create more joy for you :-) . It may serve you better than your analytical mind.

Space and Meditation

This blog is based on questions I'm often asked about meditation.

If I'm asked a question, 'what is meditation? Or, 'why should I meditate?' my answer is very simple:

1. Regular meditation helps us to experience what is outside of our thinking and thoughts. We spend over 95% of our waking hours in our head, mind, our thinking. We identify with the majority of our thoughts.  We gain a vast amount of knowledge through formal and informal learning and by analysing. 

2. Meditation, if properly practiced takes us out of our thinking mind and we are then able to experience a reality different from our inquiring mind. Initially, this could only be for one or two minutes at a time. This is where our true self - our consciousness resides, outside of our mind in space. With experience we can create space even outside of our meditation. For example, when you are looking at a tree or a mountain top, you learn to come out of your judgemental and enquiring mind. You do not ask questions, you simply be and experience your presence and the presence of everything and everyone around you. You become your authentic self instead of a person, a slave to your egoic personality. Gradually, your personality will begin to change, you become in charge of your thoughts even if initially it's for a few minutes a day.

3. So all the above is possible with a few minutes of daily meditation. Initially you mind, your ego will fight with you. It will tell you that

- You don't have time.

- Other things are more important. 

- Don't waste your time. 

- You cannot control your thoughts etc.

You have to decide who is in charge, your mind/thoughts/ego or your authentic self - your consciousness.

I hope you find this blog useful.
