All Roads Lead to Ganga - Ruskin Bond (36 of 2023: Feb 11)

 

The Ganges is a river, which has held India's heart captive and drawn uncounted millions to her banks since the dawn of history. Originating in the mist-filled valleys of the Garhwal Himalayas-a land of dense forests, icy white glaciers, clear gurgling streams and towering mountains-a land which has been known as 'Dev Bhoomi' or the land of gods, the Ganga traverses hundreds of miles through the heartland till it flows into the sea.

It this travel memoir, noted writer Ruskin Bond captures the breathtaking beauty and splendour of this magical landscape, describing with nostalgia and affection the places and people he has lived with and encountered for over forty years. In this engaging book, Bond provides a wonderfully evocative description of the mountain streams, the birds and animals. The wild flowers, the natural biosphere, the villages and dharmshalas, and the many shrines and places of pilgrimage-Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Jamnotri, nestled in the mighty mountains-all written with the touch of a poet. Bond takes us to his quaint little world of charm, portraying an untarnished landscape and exploring the Ganga in her pristine glory, at the confluence of the Alaknanda and the Bhagirathi.

From passionate descriptions about the pine and deodar trees in the hilly environs of northern India to plain reminiscences of the legendary 'Gun Hill' in Mussoorie, or vivid descriptions of birdsongs in the hills, Bond's sensitive and lucid style and an eye for ordinary details make this book a pleasurable read.

Ganges and Prayags along with the 4 dams, beautiful rives, valleys, trees, people, birds and other hill stations around like Dehradun, Missouri all find a place in this amazing  book.

How Strange a Season - Megan Mayhew Bergman

 From my lonesome reader.

This collection of amazing short stories focus on the lives of different female characters grappling with desire and dealing with fear. Many are caught between the burdens of the past and the uncertainty of the future because of issues to do with the changing environment, economic inequality and strained familial circumstances. It's extremely moving how Bergman shows how these characters struggle to deal with these larger issues while fulfilling their own ambitions. As a way of not feeling overwhelmed one character suggests “The trick was to believe in your choices.” The author has a wonderful ability to quickly immerse the reader in her characters' reality which meant I was immediately gripped by their dilemmas and emotionally invested in their outcomes. 

Bergman builds environments in her stories with rich atmospheric descriptions from a glass-walled seafront property in California to the lazy heat and rotting fruit on a South Carolina farm. Some tales focus on quiet intermediary periods where characters contemplate big decisions which will affect the rest of their lives. Others maintain an immediate dramatic tension as in 'Peaches, 1979' where a serial killer “strangler” is in the area and the culprit might be a part of the protagonist's own family. There's biting inbuilt comedy in the story 'Heirloom' where a woman turns her inherited barren desert ranch into a business where wealthy men can work out their emotional blockages by operating heavy machinery. In 'Wife Days' a woman negotiates a degree of autonomy with her husband by declaring she will only play her role as wife on certain days of the week. However, her ritual of rejuvenation through swimming and washing her face becomes like a circular nightmare rather than a path towards physical/spiritual renewal. 

The most sustained and ambitious tale in this collection is the novella 'Indigo Run' (which took me more than a morning to complete as I had to read it in between work demands throughout my day.) It's set on a Southern plantation and primarily involves the tempestuous marriage between Helena and Win and their daughter Skip. Here “The past felt uncomfortably close... as if it were being kept at bay but ready to rush in at any moment and take root again.” It's so compelling how the characters feel duty bound by expectations and the burden of history to play certain roles. However, this impedes their growth and potential for personal happiness. It feels like a metaphor for the larger country. As an extension of this novella there is the compelling final fable-like tale in this collection 'The Night Hag' which charts the life of a figure born from a fish egg who takes “the shape of a woman”. After being used and discarded by a man, she physically and mentally deteriorates until she takes on monstrous properties (both in appearance and her actions.) Aside from this intriguing flirtation with the fantastical, Bergman's stories exquisitely capture the realistic dilemmas of different individuals with great wisdom and psychologically insightful detail. 

Essence of Bhagavad Geeta

क्लैब्यं मा स्म गम: पार्थ नैतत्त्वय्युपपद्यते |

क्षुद्रं हृदयदौर्बल्यं त्यक्त्वोत्तिष्ठ परन्तप || 3||

klaibyaṁ mā sma gamaḥ pārtha naitat tvayyupapadyate

kṣhudraṁ hṛidaya-daurbalyaṁ tyaktvottiṣhṭha parantapa

BG 2.3: O Parth, it does not befit you to yield to this unmanliness. Give up such petty weakness of heart and arise, O vanquisher of enemies.

If one reads this one shloka one gets all the merits of reading the entire Gita; for in this one shloka lies imbedded the whole message of the Gita...Stand up and fight! Not one step back, that is the idea...Fight it out, whatever comes. Let the stars move form the sphere!..Thus fight! You gain nothing by becoming cowards....Taking a step backward, you do not avoid any misfortune.

Chapter 4-17 says, Activity is the core stone of life, and here it should be filled with Karma - i.e Actions to be done. These are divided into:

• Nitya - Daily duties,
• Naimittika - duties on special occassion
• Kamya - desire prompted duties. 

Then there are Vi-karma (Actions to be avoided) and Inactivities. 

The 18 chapters of the Geeta falls into three distinct groups, each in six chapters explained as ' That Thou Art'.  

First six - Thou

Next six - That

Last six - Art

Chapters and verses are:

1. The Yoga of Arjuna - Grief - 47
2. The Yoga of Knowledge - Snkya Yoga - 72 - Peace is happiness

All chapter name starts with Yoga. What is Yoga is mentioned in chapter 6. Krishna tells Arjuna, his alignment is not right. 'Let's go to the basics since your understanding of the problem is skewed. Examine from where your sorrow is arising.' Three yogas have been talked about here - gyan yoga, bhakti yoga and karma yoga. Alignment by using your brain is gyan yoga, by emotion is bhakti yoga and by action is Karma Yoga - that is aligning the head, heart and hands. 

For one who is a neophyte in the eight fold yoga system, work is said to be the means and for one who is already elevated in yoga, cessation of all material activities is said to be the means. 

The process of linking oneself with the supreme is called the Yoga. It may be compared to a ladder for attaining topmost realization. This ladder begins from the lowest material condition of the living entity and rises upto perfect self-realization in pure spiritual life. Complete ladder is called Yoga, and it is divided into different parts. 3 main are Jnana-Yoga; Dhyana-Yoga and Bhakti-Yoga. The beginning of the ladder is called the Yogaruruksu sage and the highest rung is called Yogarudha. 

When a man is not attached to sense objects or to actions, having renounced all thoughts, he is said to have attained Yoga. Sri Krishna explains the physical and mental condition of the Yogarudha - the one who is established in Yoga.

Chapter 14 Verse 22 to 25 says:

He who does not hate illumination, attachment and delusion when they are present or long for them when they disappear; who is unwavering and undisturbed through all these reactions of the material qualities, remaining neutral and transcendental, knowing that the modes alone are active; who is situated in the self and regards alike happiness and distress; who looks upon a lump of earth, a stone and a piece of gold with an equal eye; who is equal toward the desirable and the undesirable; who is steady, situated equally well in praise and blame, honor and dishonor; who treats alike both friend and enemy and who has renounced all material activities - such a person is said to have transcended the modes of nature. 

Chapter 16 verse 3 says:

Fearlessness; Purification of one's existence; cultivation of spiritual knowledge, charity; self-control; performance of sacrifice; study of Vedas; austerity; simplicity, non-violence; truthfulness; freedom from anger; renunciation; tranquillity, aversion to fault finding; compassion for all living entities; freedom from covetousness; gentleness; modesty steady determination; vigor; forgiveness; fortitude; cleanliness and freedom from envy and from the passion for honor - these transcendental qualities belong to godly men endowed with divine nature. 

Chapter 18 verse 51 to 53 says:

Being Purified by his intelligence and controlling the mind with determination; giving up the objects of sense gratification, being freed from attachment and hatred; one who lives in a secluded place, who eat little, who controls his body, mind and power of speech, who is always in trance and who is detached, free from false ego, false strength, false pride, lust, anger and acceptance of material things, free from false proprietorship and peaceful - such a person is certainly elevated to the position of self-realization. 

The names of each chapter is given at the end of the chapter and Partha - Is Symbolism of A Way-Of-Life. 

Sanatana Dharma

 Sanatana - that which is ancient. The implication of this term can fall under two categories: the obvious and the suggestive. The obvious meaning indicates that the self is not new (nutanah) but it is ancient and therefore we as students of Brahma-vidya, need not hesitate to accept it, In its suggestiveness, the term Sanathana implies that the self is unconditioned by time and place. Perfection gained, whether it be in India or at the North Pole, in the present generation or in the chaste periods of the Vedic Culture, in all places and at all times, by all seers, in all the religions of the world, the Self-experience at the time of God-realisation, can only be one and the same. 

Lord Narayana created Brahma, and taught him the Vedas. With the help of the Vedas, Brahma began to create. The Upanishads say that the Lord revealed Himself to Brahma and also reveals Himself to those who study the Vedas.

The objective in Sanatana Dharma, according to Swami Satyananda, lies in freeing every atom of existence in its own way from karma and help it achieve its own state of perfection. The Sanatana Dharma is known as the eternal religion because it represents the eternal idea of perfection.

Dharma is often translated as “duty,” “religion” or “religious duty” and yet its meaning is more profound, defying concise English translation. The word itself comes from the Sanskrit root “dhri,” which means “to sustain.” Another related meaning is “that which is integral to something.” For example, the dharma of sugar is to be sweet and the dharma of fire to be hot. Therefore, a person’s dharma consists of duties that sustain him, according to his innate characteristics. Such characteristics are both material and spiritual, generating two corresponding types of dharma:

(a) Sanatana-dharma – duties which take into account the person’s spiritual (constitutional) identity as atman and are thus the same for everyone.

(b) Varnashrama-dharma – duties performed according to one’s material (conditional) nature and specific to the individual at that particular time (see Varnashrama Dharma).

According to the notion of sanatana-dharma, the eternal and intrinsic inclination of the living entity (atman) is to perform seva (service). Sanatana-dharma, being transcendental, refers to universal and axiomatic laws that are beyond our temporary belief systems. Most adherents prefer to call their tradition Sanatana-dharma rather than using the more recent term, “Hinduism,” which they consider has sectarian connotations. (Sometimes another category is added, called sadharana–dharma, general moral rules for everyone.)

“Dharma is sometimes translated as ‘religion’ but that is not exactly the meaning. Dharma actually means ‘that which one cannot give up’ and ‘that which is inseparable from oneself’. The warmth of fire is inseparable from fire; therefore warmth is called the dharma, or nature, of fire. Similarly, sad-dharma means ‘eternal occupation.’ That eternal occupation is engagement in the transcendental loving service of the Lord.”

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

Scriptural Passage

“The supreme occupation [dharma] for all humanity is that by which men can attain to loving devotional service unto the transcendent Lord.”

Bhagavat Purana 1.2.6

The meaning of Dharma loosely translates as ‘the values that sustain us,’ The meaning of Sanatana Dharma is ‘eternal.’ Dharma is one word that does not have a proper literal translation. Dharma acquired a comprehensive and complex significance that it is impossible to articulate in any other language. Dharma is a combination of ethics and religion. It stands for all the ideals, purposes, influences, institutions, and ways of conduct that shape a person, as an individual, and as a member of society.

The essential characteristic or duty of an object or a living being without its importance is Dharma. For example, the Sun’s luminosity, coolness of the water, and the divine Spark of existence in human beings – all of which relate to Dharma. We can understand the meaning of Dharma at two levels. They are – cosmic and individual.

The four types of dharma are:

1. Born with a gift:

You are born with a gift, like an incredible voice, artistic skills, etc. You know your gift. They have an undeniable gift they came on this Earth to share. Most artists and athletes fall under this category. They were given an incredible voice, the ability to shoot a goal or tell a joke, all skills we celebrate in our society. However, that doesn’t mean they’re set for life. The gift was given to them but it’s up to them to determine what they want to do with it. Some of the best musicians aren’t even playing, not because they’re less talented, but because they did not chase their Dharmas the way that others did.

2. Shaped By Situation:

You have a break-down and share it. “I was on my knees, wondering if God does exist when suddenly a voice came over me and I knew what I came here to do.” These break-down, breakthrough stories are often what you hear from coaches, motivational speakers, and authors, all of who falls under the teacher archetype. From this point of breakdown, you take radical responsibility for your life and transform your worldview with a newfound sense of Purpose to share your realizations with others. Your pain becomes your Purpose, and your mess becomes your message.

3. Shaped By Personal Needs:

You had a need and now are solving it. We often find our Dharmas by serving our own needs and then finding that others need the exact same thing. It doesn’t have to be anything traumatic but something we genuinely needed help in ourselves such as support in the early stages of our business, organic baby wipes, or deliverable Ayurvedic soups. If you have an issue, chances are someone else does too, and they’d love to know your approach to solving it.

4. Shaped By Other’s Needs:

People around you needed something and you found the solution. This is the less talked about way to find your Dharma, but it’s just as important. You don’t personally have to go through an issue in order for it to be your Dharma. What problem can you solve for others? You might be passionate about health because you helped your father versus his diabetes and want to help others do the same. You don’t have to personally have gone through the issue to want to be part of the solution.

You may have a combination of two, maybe even three types of dharma as related to each

According to Vedas there are 33 Gods/Devas. These Gods are separated in the following pattern : 12 + 11 + 8 + 2.

12 is the number of Adityas, 11 are the number of Rudras, 8 is the number of Vasus, 1 is Prajapati, the Master of Gods, and 1 is the Supreme Ruler who is very powerful.

Names of all 33 Vedic deities:

12 Adityas (personified deities) correspond to the 12 Solar months and represent different attributes of social life. The Vedic sages especially venerated the Adityas and Vedas are full of hymns dedicated to Indra, Agni, Surya, Varun and the like. These are:

1. Indra/Shakra (eldest and the undoubted leader of other Adityas)

2. Ansh (due share),

3. Aryaman (nobility),

4. Bhaag (due inheritance),

5. Dhatri (ritual skill),

6. Tvashtar (skill in crafting),

7. Mitra (friendship),

8. Pushan/Ravi (prosperity),

9. Savitra/Parjanya (power of word),

10. Surya/Vivasvan (social law),

11. Varun (fate),

12. Vaman (cosmic law).

8 Vasus are attendant deities of Indra and comprise of eight elemental gods that represent the different aspects of Nature. They are:

1. Anil (Wind),

2. Apas (Water),

3. Antariksh/Dyaus (Space),

4. Dhara (Earth),

5. Dhruv (Pole Star),

6. Anal (Fire),

7. Prabhas (Dawn),

8. Soma (Moon).

11 Rudras:

· 5 abstractions – Ānanda (bliss), Vijñāna (knowledge), Manas (thought), Prāṇa (breath/ life), Vāc (speech),

· 5 names of Śiva – Īśāna (ruler), Tatpuruṣa (that person), Aghora (not terrible), Vāmadeva (pleasant god), Sadyojāta (born at once)

· 1 - Ātmā (spiritual self)

In the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, the 11 Rudras are represented by ten vital energies (rudra-prana) in the body and the eleventh one being the Ātman (the soul)

Keep Walking...

Quitting is not for winners. People quit way too easily and way too soon. Changing direction, adapting, applying a new strategy is not quitting. It is persevering. I am curious as to what your definition is of "win at life?" Winning in my world is learning to overcome and not quit. We learn nothing from success. We learn everything from overcoming adversity. People quit on their marriages, their children, their health, their friends, their dreams, their God, far too frequently. Imagine a world that did not quit on each other.

Having send this, it was always good to keep walking. And better to walk away.  Life is beautiful when you keep walking, and better if you uplift others on your journey. 

“Keep walking, despite the impediment most heavy - keep walking, despite the agony most torturous - keep walking, despite the mockery most foul - just keep walking, for, your walk counts – for, your walk is not just your walk, but the walk of our whole humanity.” ― Abhijit Naskar, When Humans Unite: Making A World Without Borders

Keep Walking. It is good for our body and our mind. Just don't quit. 

There was a Time....(34 of 2023)

There was a time I would have set myself on fire, to keep others warm.

There was a time I would have crossed oceans to reach people who wouldn’t cross a stream for me.

There was a time I would try, too hard, to be seen by those, who would simply never see me.

There was a time I felt myself unworthy of a person, who could actually never be worthy of me.

But not anymore.

You see my friend, there are many ways to spend your time on this earth 

but wasting it on those who are not appreciative of your attention, is a crying shame.

Use your time wisely.

Save your best efforts for those who care. 

For those who would return the favour or at least appreciate your attention. 

Those who truly value you.

And the rest? 

If they do not see you now, they never will.

And they are missing out.

Make this the time that you realise your time is precious and should only be bestowed on those who bring you comfort, positivity, support, love or joy.

Or all of the above.

Remember, you are the main act, not a warm up, 

and this, my friend, is no dress rehearsal.

This is it.

The curtain is well and truly up.

Shine on.

From ‘to the women- words to live by’ 

Stress, Suffering and Sanity....Being Human Being...

 All human beings experience life only from two states of being: a suffering state or a no-suffering state. There is no third state of being. The most important decision you need to make every day of your life is from which state you want to live and act.

If your answer is a beautiful state- your life that day is on the right track. 

Suffering states are also called stressful states- these are anger related states, anxiety related states, sadness related states and doubt related states. 

And the non-suffering states are graded into 3 levels - beautiful states transcendental states  and enlightened states.

Most of u assume you know stress, because you can feel it. 

But let us enquire into it deeper. Stress is a pre-immersion, post-immersion, and often a re-immersion of a pressured situation. Remember, Stress is a pre-immersion, post-immersion, and often a re-immersion of a pressured situation. 

And this pre, post and re immersion leads to the build-up of unpleasant emotions such as anxiety, frustration, guilt, or anger in the mind and unpleasant sensations in the body.

So what is a pre-immersion? 

A pre-immersion is when you anticipate a problem or anticipate a pressured situation and continually play the negative scenario in your head again and again. You are playing the same song, same recording again and again. 

A post-immersion is when a problematic situation has been faced and is over. But inwardly, the situation does not end. You keep ruminating over the situation, giving rise to emotions such as anxiety and anger long after the event is over. 

Whether it is a pre-immersion or a post-immersion, both are repeated immersions  in a pressured situation leading to tremendous amounts of stress. Stress accumulates in various layers of consciousness, causing unforeseen challenges, troubles, and sickness.

As you detox stress from your consciousness, you will not only experience physical and emotional healing and health, but you will also connect with the greater intelligence of the universe. In this state of connection, miracles and synchronicities happen. Your understanding of life gets deeper and your response wise.

Art of relaxation:

Our life experiences have a direct impact on our bodies and the mind. 

In the body this impact is stored in your cells in the brain and the body. This stress accumulates as toxins floating in the blood.

Much of this toxin has to be cleansed with conscious attention. 

If you don’t purge this stress, it can lead to chronic ill-ness and inflammatory disorders.

If you want to heal your body, you have to bring attention to it. 

You have to activate the immense intelligence of the trillion cells of your body. 

The key to activate your body-intelligence is to live in a stress-free emotional state and an alpha brain state. 

Now Your brain functions in five electrical wave patterns, which are the 5 measurable brain-states. Some of you know this, but I want to show you the mysterious connections between the brain waves and your mind. 

Most people live in a state of distraction and agitation. This you all know very well. Even if you bring observation to yourselves you will see this.

When you are in this agitated stressed out state of mind, your brain is in the beta brainwave mode. 

In beta brainwave mode, your brain is vibrating at 13 to 30 or 40 cycles a second. In this state concentration, listening, focus, nothing is possible. You are internally in a state of noise and chaos. This state is literally called the monkey mind state.

Your body is restless. Your breath is unrhythmic or irregular. Your immunity is flawed. Neither healing nor sustenance is possible. Your body is prone to fall sick.  

The second brainwave state is alpha. In this state your brain vibrates at 8 to 13 cycles per second. In this state, 

You are attentive, focused; your memory is sharp. Your mind is calm promoting clear thinking and perception. You are naturally more efficient. 

Your breath is rhythmic and steady. Your body moves into natural healing zone promoting vitality and health. 

The 3 other brain states we will see later. Today’s meditation will shift you into alpha brain-state from beta brain-state. 

How do you move your body into alpha brain wave state? 

Know that the most powerful tool for this shift lies in your breath. Bringing attention to breath and learning the right practices  releases many latent potentials of your body-mind-consciousness. 

Art of forgiveness:

Relationships are the mirrors in which your state is reflected. 

Every human being deep down is a wounded person. Hurt by parents, hurt by siblings, criticized by teachers, let down by friends, betrayed in love, humiliated by peers or superiors, in so many ways your heart has been wounded by the way people have treated you.

Even though practically you might have moved on.  You might have even convinced yourself that you have grown up and have forgiven all the people who hurt you- the truth is you have not transcended your hurt.

These wounds linger in your consciousness. They have become impressions, a force within you.

Sadly, when we are hurt we cling onto them for years. 

Why do we not let go of our hurts?  

Let me narrate an experience with you, a real life experience.

About 8 to 9 years ago, a gentleman in his early 40’s came to me. One of his biggest problems was his terrible anger towards his father. He was often bullied by his step-brother in his childhood. His step brother even tried choking him to death once. His parents always either took the side of his step-brother or remained silent. 

So, he became an addict to drugs, alcohol, and a whole lot of things. With great difficulty he overcame those habits yet was caught in emotional addiction - addiction to anger.

I led him to freedom.

He saw that he continued to be angry with his father, because somewhere he was still hoping that someday his father will have a realization of all the wrongs he had done to him.

He was waiting for his father to repent, for the pain he had suffered. He was hoping his father would come and apologize to him.

I showed him the futility of that expectation. His father had not transformed at the age of 50, 60 and now his father was 70 years old. There was no hope ever that his father would change. His father would never change. And in the meanwhile, what he was doing was wasting his life expecting his father to change.

In that single conversation with me, this man could see what thinking process kept his suffering alive.

If you are hoping that someday your parents or someone who has hurt you will realize what they have done to you and they will come forward and apologize to you, your hurt will continue to stay alive. That expectation will keep your hurt alive.

You have to see the futility of holding on to such an expectation. In fact, you have to see the destruction that will happen within you if you held on to that expectation.

Only in that realisation can your emotionally hurt mind be silenced.

Art of joyful living:

I want you to know - Life can be lived in two ordinary ways & one extraordinary way. The first ordinary way to live is to be pleasure driven.

When you are pleasure driven the background experience of your life is mechanical, boring and uninteresting. And when life feels like a chore, you give into pleasure driven life. 

You become a seeker of thrill or entertainment. Incapable of steady focus or committed relationships, you keep hopping from person to person/another and job to another.

You do not know the fullness of life at all. 

The second way of living is to be aggression driven.

You are driven by the need to be seen, to be aggressive, to be more than others. 

At the background of all your efforts is comparison and hence a deep dissatisfaction. 

You are never present to the task in front of you, because you are constantly imagining the reward you will receive versus someone else. 

You are never present to the person in front of you, because you are either measuring yourself against them or are measuring their love for you.

You some how want to be more than the other. 

But there is an extraordinary way of living. And that is the third way of living.

The third way of living is a life of awareness. 

Living a life of awareness, there is attention to action. There is attention to activity.  There is attention to thought as it arises.  

This intense awareness is magical. It frees you from the clutches of incessant thought. You experience a deep joyful ness in living. 

It is this deep joy, this bliss, this ananda that is the nature of existence. 

When you dwell more and more in this joy, every experience feels complete and joyful. Life feels more beautiful. There is a deep inner silence from which to experience life. 

You experience the falling of the autumn leaves from the tree. You experience the innocence in the eyes of your child, the warmth of your partner, and the affection of a parent. You experience the beauty of walk taken in solitude. You live life fully. 

This is the bliss of which the sages have sung since the dawn of history. 

You can make your beginning into this realm of bliss starting today by being more present. This will be your first baby step. 

UNIVERSAL INTELLIGENCE

What if I told you that plants also have senses? They sense when you pluck a leaf or break a branch. Because the smell that emerges from one leaf kind of gets smelt by the other plant. They sense danger. 

When you stand near a tree it knows you are standing near it. There is a knowing. There is an intelligence in the universe.

The prey in the forests know when the lion is hungry, know when it is satiated as well. They accordingly get close or maintain a distance. 

Ants when attacked spray chemicals to keep their predator at a distance. The chemicals that ants release are often pheromones that signal danger to other members of the colony, and can also discourage predators from pursuing them.

Farmers watch the migratory birds before deciding the crop for the season? If the birds build their nest on the lake at a higher altitude, it means there will much rain that season and they plant rice paddies. If the nests are closer to the ground, they plant peanuts that require less rain. And the birds have not been wrong for centuries. 

Everywhere you see around you, you recognise a communication. A communication, a mutual understanding, an intelligence and interdependence.

Be it within the species or inter-species communication.. there is communication seems to happen throughout nature. 

Do you wonder how they know each other’s requirements to fill the gap To render the necessary support? 

They seem to perfectly fall in place like puzzle pieces. 

All life seems to flow as one. All living things are connected in the web of relationships, and this web of relationships help to sustain and support life on our planet. 

This is because there is one intelligence that flows through all life. We are in a filed of intelligence. 

I call it Universal Intelligence. 

This intelligence responds, communicates, supports and nurtures. 

Different traditions and thoughts realised this universal intelligence in many ways. Some attribute a form and a personality, while some see it as a field of consciousness. They called it God, angels, spirits. 

And how do we connect to this greater field of intelligence? 

This is important for every one of you to know.

We humans communicate through our state of consciousness with this field of consciousness. When you are in a suffering state , when you are stressed, you cannot intuit the messages and you are out of sync with the universe. Chaos sets in. When you are in a beautiful state, you are in tune with the universe. You body, mind and consciousness flow as one with life drawing synchronicities and miracles. Order sets in. 

Awakening to Universal intelligence is an extraordinary spiritual experience for everyone.

PARENT RELATIONSHIP:

Your thinking is very old. If you have nurtured a thinking of blame, faultfinding and anger as children, you tend to grow up into adults with that thinking even though your circumstances have changed. 

If you grew up with a thinking of loneliness and seeking approval as children, you will grow up with the same thinking as adults even though you may be surrounded by friends. 

If you have grown up as a child with anxiety over losing love, you will grow up into adults who will live with insecurity.  You mechanically re-enact the same thinking patterns with your partner, your children and your careers. Your thinking spills over into your conversations, your gestures and your actions. 

Unless there is an awareness of your thinking, there cannot be a transformation in the quality of your life.

In hurt, you oscillate between being arrogant at your superiority or dissatisfaction when you see you are less. You become human beings who are unhappy. Your thinking, decisions and responses come from a place of agitation and not peace. You define yourself in terms of the people with whom you compare. You become insecure. 

Is it possible that such a mind can make intelligent decisions? Is it possible that  such a mind so driven by hurt, a mind that is so driven by insufficiency can make the right decisions?

Think about it.

6 KOSHAS:

Who do you think you are?

Your most common association is with your physical body. That is why you say, I am fair or dark, I am this race or that. I am this age or that. 

While it is true. It is only partial true.

The truth is that you are way bigger than your body. 

Just as we have our physical body we also have the energy body.  In this energy body are 72,000 nerve currents, called naadis carrying various kinds of spiritual energies. 

There are 7 points in the body where certain key psychic nerve cluster happen. These nerve clusters are called chakras. The moment you hear the word chakra, please do not come to any conclusions. Continue to stay in a state of listening. 

Before we go into chakras, let us get back top this. You are 6 bodies not one body. 

Annamaya, prana maya, Manomaya, karma maya, Vijnanamaya, and anandamaya. 

Annamaya kosha or the physical body, the one that is made of food is the smallest. And to explore this physical body alone modern science has taken nearly 300 years of research. 

The next is the Pranamaya Kosha or the energy body. It is almost 3 feet around your physical body. It is a much bigger universe. In this body, the Kundalini, the great serpentine spiritual energy is there. It is the position of your kundalini  that differentiates between the ordinary and the genius. Higher the kundalini, greater the genius. And this genius could be in terms of your skills, Your capacity to love or greater insight into situations, greater ability to flow with life and all of that.

The Pranamaya Kosha also has 72000 nadis or energy channels,  5 kinds of breath energies and so on- it is the whole universe. In the Prana Maya kosha are 7 major chakras and many minor ones. These chakras are energy vortices  that is located along the central energy channel of your body called Sushumna. This energy channel is like your spiritual spine located in the middle of your body. And each of these chakras hold a very powerful potential. 

Manomaya Kosha or your mind body- consists of your conscious mind, your sub conscious mind and the unconscious mind which is deeper…in the unconscious mind are your past life vasanas and this life Samskaras are  stored. And finallythe collective unconscious of entire humanity are stored- all of these is the Manomaya Kosha.

The next is Karma Maya kosha is the karmik repository- the karmik energy bank of yourself, your soul circle, your community and collective humanity’s karma- it is a huge dynamic that keeps playing out as energy patterns. It keeps playing out as chaos or order in your life. 

The next is Vijnanamaya Kosha is the pure wisdom body- the body that stretches into other lokaas or worlds.  When you awaken to this dimension, you realise you are not living on this plane alone. You are simultaneously living in many realities. It is these realities you some times see in dreams. Realizations you have in this world would flow to other worlds. And realisations you have in other worlds flow into this one. 

Finally you have the anandamaya kosha or the bliss body- which is as huge as the universe itself. When you wake up to this dimension of yourself, you realise you are the universe. You are the all. There is no separation between you and anything in this flow of life. Realising these dimensions, I would say is the greatest adventure you can have in your life.

A Train to Moscow - Elena Gorokhova (33 of 2023 Feb 8)

 In post–World War II Russia, a girl must reconcile a tragic past with her hope for the future in this powerful and poignant novel about family secrets, passion and loss, perseverance and ambition.

In a small, provincial town behind the Iron Curtain, Sasha lives in a house full of secrets, one of which is her own dream of becoming an actress. When she leaves for Moscow to audition for drama school, she defies her mother and grandparents and abandons her first love, Andrei.

Before she leaves, Sasha discovers the hidden war journal of her uncle Kolya, an artist still missing in action years after the war has ended. His pages expose the official lies and the forbidden truth of Stalin’s brutality. Kolya’s revelations and his tragic love story guide Sasha through drama school and cement her determination to live a thousand lives onstage. After graduation, she begins acting in Leningrad, where Andrei, now a Communist Party apparatchik, becomes a censor of her work. As a past secret comes to light, Sasha’s ambitions converge with Andrei’s duties, and Sasha must decide if her dreams are truly worth the necessary sacrifice and if, as her grandmother likes to say, all will indeed be well.

Another taste of the Russian psyche with its suspicion of the enemy without and the enemy within or at least the planting of that suspicion by the state, a people manipulated, misled, forced to spy on each other, told a version of history that we would say is fake news. Particularly apposite as we sit here enduring Putin’s destruction of Ukraine, showing that nothing much has changed in 80 years or more. How we would love to communicate with ordinary Russians, learn more about their country and culture, visit etc. That seems a pipe dream now even though they are, in reality, just like us, but let down more than we are by their leaders. Government should be for the people but in Russia it is for the state, the ruling elite. The curtain on stage - the division between reality and make-believe - which is which? The iron curtain - another division - why is it there, why is it necessary? So many questions.

really good, actually - Monica Heisey - (32 of 2023: Feb 7)

 

Heisey's debut novel is a lighthearted and funny modern story with the kind of high “relatability” factor found in the tradition of “Bridget Jones's Diary” and “Heartburn”. Maggie is fast approaching 30 and her marriage to Jon has just ended. There was no big dramatic breakdown in their relationship; it just stopped working. And while Maggie wants to strive for a “Good Divorce” her life slowly spirals out of control even as she desperately tries to hold it together. Plans for self improvement with mental and physical wellbeing regimes frequently falter. Her experiences on dating apps veer from amusing to cringe. She engages in late-night online shopping binges which result in unsustainable hits to her dwindling bank account and her need to return many items. She is pursuing a post-graduate degree in Shakespearean studies, but isn't so devoted to it or her teaching to find them fulfilling. Maggie's loyal circle of friends and a new fellow divorcee bestie grow impatient with her. And the more she strives for an amicable break from Jon the more distant and silent he becomes. In essence, her story captures how she's approaching a time in her life when everything should be coming together but instead it appears to be rapidly falling apart. 

As a former screenwriter on the excellent sitcom 'Schitt's Creek', Heisey's skills at writing awkward comedy really come through in the narrative. There's plenty of bad logic humour with lines such as “Tragically I was the victim of a supportive home life” and Maggie's musing that her brief romantic forays with other women mean “I’m not sure I’m bisexual enough to count.” Personally, I feel there's no better comedy than a sad blundering threesome scene and this novel contains an excellent one. There is plenty in this story which made me chuckle in appreciation – if not laugh out loud. I enjoyed the creative approach of interspersing Maggie's account with revealing text exchanges, Google searches and fantasy interludes which further reinforce how little control she has while trying to keep it together. Also, there are some wonderfully cutting scenes where other characters reveal just how wacky Maggie's behaviour has become in a way that she herself hasn't divulged to readers. 

The trouble is that the novel begins to feel too drawn out as Maggie becomes eminently unlikeable with an increasingly unbelievable lack of self-awareness. This partially undercuts the more meaningful message of the book about a newly independent woman learning to love herself. As sympathetic as Maggie is with her restlessness, body issues and contemporary romantic problems, I wanted to like her more. Certainly unlikeable central characters are a stalwart of great stories and offer a lot of potential for great comedy, but it ultimately felt like Heisey sacrificed her protagonist's integrity by striving to get more jokes in. It's an issue similar to what I found in reading “Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine”. I definitely found Heisey's novel funny and enjoyable, but while it's unquestionably heartfelt it doesn't quite capture all the emotion it could have. 

Shefeekinte Santhosham

Shefeek (Unni Mukundan) is a happy-go-lucky guy who wishes good for everyone around him. People in his village, which includes his longtime girlfriend Sainaba (Divya Pillai) and his close friend Ameer (Bala), eagerly await his arrival. As he packed things, he decided to purchase some gifts for all those who helped him in the past. The trouble Shafique had to face due to one of those gifts and how it changed his life drastically is what we witness in Shefeekkinte Santhosham. Life takes a sudden U-turn on the day of his engagement when Shefeek gets arrested for a serious crime. The movie portrays his understanding about life after that. He almost loses everything he held dear.

The film is all about Shefeek trying to create happiness in others’ lives and ultimately realising that it is important to take care of his happiness. Happiness is a perspective. Also, it's a paradox. Shefeekinte Santhosham can be added to the latter.

There is the concept of happiness, sacrifice, betrayal, orphan, but something was lacking in the movie. Probably a good screenplay. 

On Reading....Action, Knowledge and Ignorance

What is the use of reading the books? Bookish knowledge we cannot do anything, What we gain out of it, how do I change out of it, is what matters.

As children how often have we heard 'Reading without reflection, is like eating without digestion' .

Having been on a reading spree, I have decided, and I want to apply them into practise. So this year, there will be lot of books being revised. 

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference, living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; taking this world as it is and not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.

https://youtu.be/fLJsdqxnZb0 - The happy secret to better work | Shawn Achor

The clever thing about this is that he talked for 12 minutes, and about 1 minute was the information he wanted to convey, and the other 11 minutes was him entertaining and getting people to listen to him. He kept the important information short and to the point while filling the time with fun energy. That's a good speaker :) He says being Normal is average. 

If we change he lens on how we are thinking and viewing we can change our feeling. People are happy achieving their dreams but it is short lived, 90% of it lasting depends on how you process it.  Everytime you succeed, you change your goalpost, so you have no time to be happy. Be positive in the present. It turns on the learning mode of your brain and help you become successful. 

11:06 Creating Lasting Positive Change Slide - 3 Gratitude daily, Journaling, Exercise, Meditation, Random Act of Kindness. 

11:26 Write down 3 things you're grateful for 21 days in a row.

11:36 Journaling about one positive experience you had over the last 24hrs.

11:39 Exercise teaches your brain your behaviour matters

11:42 Meditation allows the brain to get over the cultural ADHD we created by trying to do multiple tasks.

11:53 Random acts of kindness or conscious acts of kindness.  Open an email and praise one person in their social support network.

If you watch his Google talk (it's on YouTube as well) he actually explains how not facing reality and being overly optimistic is a disorder.

The point he's making is that both pessimists and optimists can be realists. A realist sees the reality around him, but how he internalizes and process that information is what makes him a pessimist or optimist. The pessimist will not perform as well as the optimist because a positive mind performs better than one that is negative, neutral, or stressed.

Nature's beauty can be easily missed — but not through Louie Schwartzberg's lens. His stunning time-lapse photography, accompanied by powerful words from Benedictine monk Brother David Steindl-Rast, serves as a meditation on being grateful for every day. 80% of information we receive come from our eyes, are we grateful for that?

'Happiness Revealed'

Today is not just another day; it is given to you, only gift you are given right now. Respond as if it is the first day of your life and first day. Ray of colours offered to us is immense. 

"The only appropriate response is gratefulness." 

Thank you, Brother David Steindl-Rast and Louie Schwartzberg. 

May our hearts filled with gratefulness - always. May this gratefulness dispel the fear and darkness at this time of trouble and weariness. May its light dwell in us - always.

We're raising our girls to be perfect, and we're raising our boys to be brave, says Reshma Saujani, the founder of Girls Who Code. Saujani has taken up the charge to socialize young girls to take risks and learn to program — two skills they need to move society forward. To truly innovate, we cannot leave behind half of our population, she says. "I need each of you to tell every young woman you know to be comfortable with imperfection." Coding needs perseverance, imperfection. Perfection or bust is how girls are. Create supporting network - sisterhood.

In life there is no real safety other than self- belief. 

Whatever we have in life - is  a gift from God. 

There are no rules if you are a boy; if you are a girl you need to pay the game - be pretty, smart, but be what men want to you be, and do not age. Women do not have the same freedom as men. It takes time.

"Vision is the Art of Seeing what is invisible to Others.”

WELCOME TO DAY 15 🧘‍♀️ DESIRE AND DESTINY - How can I Serve "😇

Illuminate world around us. When we give to others, we give to ourselves.

Prayer "Use me for purpose greater than myself'.

When we share our unique gift, we create significance and work towards destiny.

How can I serve, that is the question, all of us come to ask.

Who am I? What do I want?

Live our destiny. How can I serve. The word service can create many thoughts and questions.

1. Giving time and money
2. Connected to thoughts of work/obligation

We may wonder how can we serve?

Martin Luther King say - Any one can serve, only thing needed is heart full of grace, willing soul.

Service in every moment is understanding unique talent and bringing happiness to others and self.

When we share gifts with other, it comes back to us by way of appreciation, smile, hug.

Look within and ask, how can I serve?

This timeless question has no wrong answer. Ask this everyday.

How can I serve? Listen deeply, receive each and every response from your soul

Once we listen carefully to voice within, we open the door to infinite and abandon possibility.

Practise living in the spirit of possibility.

We each have wonderful talent to share with one another. Ask How can I serve?

Lets contemplate : Serving others serves me.

Mantra: " Aum Vardhanam Nama" - I nourish the universe and the universe nourishes me.

Consider the flow of giving and receiving.

The power of vulnerability | Brené Brown

The Power of Vulnarability. Whole hearted people, living with a great sense of fulfilment, sense of courage. courage to be imperfect, compassion with self, and last is connection as a result of authenticity. What made them vulnerable made them beautiful. Willingness to say 'I love you first'. Vulnerability is the key to all and any human connections. Without that key ingredient there will always be something missing within a relationship. Being able to be completely transparent with someone you love is a gift that some people never get to experience. Break down - Spiritual awakening.

Vulnerability is the Core of shame, fear and also the birth place of joy. We numb vulnerability. We cannot selectively numb emotions.

I am enough.

WELCOME TO DAY 2 🧘‍♀️

FREE TO LOVE - Freedom from the Past"😇

When asked what you want in life people generally say Happy, healthy, living deepest desire in life.

We need to release the hold the past has on us.

We have uniques story of our past community, culture, which influence what we are today.

As we reflect on the past we can related to stories that make us have emotional pain today, which could be one of these, that set the trajectory of life. No matter what has happened upto this point, we have the right and capacity to be happy and loved.

Most postive action we can take is change perception of it, accepting the situation of the past, diminishe the negative impact on us. The essence of responsibility is understanding that whatever has happened until now, we can make new choices. We can move beyond our past with renewed passion of life. It is the path of freedom and joy.

Today lets choose the path of Joy. Lets take decision to love - your past, present, family.

Life is in this moment - apt, stay, intent. If you create any open space in your life, Love will fill it.

You are pure Love, You are pure being. - Allow this message to settle in deepest recesses of your conscious.

Mantra : Sat Chit Ananada - Existance consciousnes Bliss.

Resentment, grievance and regret disturb our peace and make it impossible to be in present.

When someone's action is hurting us, there is an inner dialogue.

Peoples choice reflect the life they are living. Hurt people hurt people.

People operate at their level of existence. Holding on creates problem for us.

We want something stronger in our life, we focus our attention to it, and if we want to withdraw our attention, we stop attending to it.

Forgiveness expands our heart. Every heart has the power to forgive everything. Focus your attention on healing and love.

Silence - field of all possibilities, gap between thought.

Only true need anyone has is to be real.

Path of love is not about external, in the eyes of spirit we are always within us.

You were created to be loved an lovable in your all life. Dont just feel love, be love.

Core of existance lie in our contum divine.

Listen to your spirit, soul, awareness - This is the message of truth. Ask and release old tapes. Release anything that no longer serve highest purspose. Take giant leap into freedom,

Mantra - Sat Chit Ananda.

Vivek Bindra - Inspirational talk

WELCOME TO DAY 5

FREE TO LOVE - " Freedom To Heal"

Getting to the source of any pain - physical, mental or emotional is how healing begin.

Pain is from memories long ago, which is stuck, and do not allow us to be fully present and at peace within.

Once we know we can heal them. Our parents or caregiver did their best of what they could. It was not their fault nor is it yours. Shift awareness, listen with new ears and see with new eyes. Bring painful story to the light of awarness and move closer to self love and acceptance. Escaping from a prison of toxic conditioning needs dedicated attention. Develop a new possible inner dialogue that honors our unconditional value- that we are worthy of giving and receiving love. Our inner silence is the greatest tool of healing, we can hear the spirit of universe, our universe self say -'You are loved'. Love is the healing force of the universe. Early story might have set you on a path, and it is time to right a new script now, to find the beautiful, powerful, worthy being you are. Let us write the new script today. Let us awaken to a new path, a new day. By knowing we are loved, lovable and loving. Allow this message to settle into the deepest recesses of your consciouness.

Go to the filed of all possibility, into the gap of silence, breath in and out, say So Hum. Meditate with the Mantra Sat Chit Ananada, with eyes closed, and tension in body released, focus on the rhythm of the breadth. Allow your breadth to flow in and out, gently effortlessly.

I'm pure existence! I'm pure consciousness! I'm pure bliss! 🙏

Healing the Mother Wound Guided Meditation/LISA ROMANO

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXB88ZpUfbE

I just finally saw/understood the depth of my mother wound as the core root of all the contrast in my adult life and my subsequent accidents and injuries.. so beautiful bc my soul and body were working together to get me to STOP living from ego wound from my mother (needing her approval/understanding before I could act on my soul guidance for my health well-being dreams goals etc) and to live via my soul guidance I was always so great at feeling. I’m in process of feeling the grief sadness anger rage victimhood in my body around it so I can finally integrate the experiences and move forward as a liberated healed adult fully able to hear and follow my own soul guidance

May God bless us all suffering from anxiety and depression caused by Narcissistic mother

When you said that “You are enough,” it just sent me into tears because I’ve never heard those words in my life. Thank you for giving us this validation, and I am continuing to press forward to healing these core wounds and vibrating at my highest frequency ️

7 Steps to Start to Heal the Mother Wound - Terri Cole

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TkA-KMatAc

If you’ve had painful experiences with your mother… If you’ve been let down, neglected, judged, criticized, humiliated or abused… If deep down, all of your life, you’ve known that something was wrong with your relationship with your mom… Know that now you are an adult, and your unloving or rejecting mother has already taken enough from you. Isn’t it time that you start running the show of your own internal and external life? That means getting committed to your own healing. If you’re down for making that commitment to yourself, then keep reading. This is part 2 of my two-part series on the Mother Wound. If you haven’t watched part 1, “What is the Mother Wound?”, please watch that first, so you can understand what it is and how it could be affecting your life and your relationships. This week, I’m sharing 7 steps you can take to start to heal from the emotional and psychological injuries of the mother wound. Download the free guide that goes with this episode: https://terricole.com/7-steps-to-heal...

TIME STAMPS: 0:00 - Introduction 1:02 - The first step is acknowledging that you have a mother wound 2:24 - Questioning the mother archetype and accepting the humanness of mothers 4:44 - Mourning the mother you had hoped for - Dont compare her with other mothers. 7:44 - Giving up on the hope that your mother will change 9:28 - Recreating unhealthy relationships in adulthood (repeating realities) 10:20 - The 3 questions to ask yourself to shift repeating realities 14:54 - How to mother yourself in a healthy way 16:30 - Find a good and kind mentor 18:38 - Try therapy

Accept the humannes in mother. They have needs and feeling and their only duty is not to take care of their husband or children.

You could have had a narcist mother. Mother would or could have loved you in a different way. They could be different. But accept the humanness in them. 

Write and burn it out. 

The One Person Oprah Couldn't Forgive | Oprah Winfrey | Goalcast

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKzXoBfntDo

"Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could be any different" Love that!

Forgiveness is giving up pain, being free.

Forgiveness is the gift you give your self.

“Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough” ― Oprah Winfrey

Her mother did not like her for her color, untill she started becoming successful. She was always searching for love and affection.

"THANK YOU - I KNOW YOU DID WHAT THE BEST YOU COULD DO. " SAY THE THING WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY WHEN PEOPLE ARE THERE. FORGIVENESS IS GIVING UP THE HOPE THAT PAST COULD BE DIFFERENT.

• One thing that you are going to do till you come for the live event on 8th April 

• Reduce the intensity by making it a little easy.

• The AP this week will continue till the 8th of April 

• You need to message each other IHD (Internal Hathor Done) 

• If your partner doesn't do it give them a call of concern. 

• Be accountable to each other 

2⃣ External Boundary 

• Ability to say NO at least once a day. One disappointment per day you have to make in someone. This will make you capable of loving them. 

3⃣ Open your arms and breathe in the sunlight 

• Open your arms breathe and receive sunlight. 

• Practice BRAG 1/2/3 things about yourself while receiving from the sun. 

• There is a lot of connection between Goddess Hathor and sunlight. You will walk like a lioness when you do this. You want the sacred receiving to come in and bring out your aura completely.  

4⃣ Vision 

• Step out in nature and see as far as you can for 20 mins. 

• Just looking at nothing, removes all the toxins and dirty chemicals in our bodies. 

5⃣ Sacred Pause 

• When you're moving from one activity to another activity, take 3 deep breaths & pause.  

• Make yourself present 

 Close by paying gratitude towards all the 5 gifts of Goddess Hathor 👸💓👸 

Loads of love ♥️♥️♥️

Good boundaries free you | Sarri Gilman | TEDxSnoIsleLibraries

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtsHUeKnkC8

Your stories are shaped our Yes's and No'. 

Set your boundaries, and know when to set through it. 

Sarri is author of “Transform Your Boundaries,” which she based on insights gleaned from decades of experience as a marriage and family therapist. She is the founder of two organizations that support the needs of children and teens facing homelessness. In both, she created partnerships and unique programs to increase the chances of success for youth in overwhelming circumstances.

Lower your stress and find your life's purpose. 

When you listen to your 'Yes' or 'No' others might get angry or disappointed. 

sometime the compass is clouded, and you cannot understand if it's yes or no. 

Working vs. Writer - earning a living. 

It does't give any details - The compass just say yes or no. You have to figure it out. 

Stress is what most suffer from. Listening to the compass will help reduce stress, it is highly sensitive to stress. Brief stress, when setting boundries is sweating. 

Self- Care is much bigger than eating and exercising. It can be really hard, and will take long time to do it. Take time to care for self. 

3 things to support your compass:

• Increase your self-care
• Reach out and build a web or resource
• Really focus on choosing your responsibilities. You can't do it all. Let go what you can

Be carefull and protective. 

We are all in the middle of a story, which is being shaped on where you are saying yes and where no. 

Hello Dazzling Goddess👸🏻❤️

Product of the week

Buy something that makes you feel special ❤️

It can be an incense stick 🦯, scented  candles 🕯️, crystals 💎, aroma oils.

This week's challenge is to create your  Priority Tracker and  giving out one "NO" per day for the next 30 days .

🪷The idea is to set boundaries for yourself and prioritise your own needs .

🪷By saying "YES" to everything and everyone, it leads to feelings of overwhelm and burnout.

🪷 Therefore by intentionally saying "NO" to something each day ,we can create more time and space for things that truly matter to us .

🪷 Priority tracker can be a simple list or a spreadsheet where you can list out tasks and commitments based on their level of importance.

🪷 This helps us to track our priorities.

🪷 We feel good as we end up focusing our time and energy on the things that align with our goals and values .

🌟🤗👸🏻 Let's set boundaries and prioritise what's important to us 👸🏻🤗🌟

Great Speech --“Real wealth is not money”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFL2Hx2xpSI

Courage, determination, Leadership.

Real wealth is having a LOT of money.

• Innovation
• Husba: The courage to challenge

IQ is the brain and EQ is the heart.

When IQ and EQ connect - Knowledge and Wisdom connect - Innovation.

LQ - Love - Most precious resource is human brain and combine these things together.

If you solve the problem, that is the opportunity. Innovation is for happy life.

Innovators - They believe and then see it.

Innovation is not about technology
