Flow with life

I am attracted to finding spiritual solutions to practical problems which I believe translate into practical solutions automatically...mostly because the problem itself ceases to be a problem.

Understanding a practical problem from a spiritual perspective dissolves the problem... the realization that you attracted the situation or the person or the disease into your life, brings peace into your life and in that peaceful state if you meditate on the situation you will find a peaceful way to handle the situation and feel grateful for the lesson and feel enriched by the experience.

Knowing that you attract everything into your life is easy. Realizing it...the 'aha' moment is when the shift happens.

Like this morning when I suddenly realized that 'my expectations' bring me a a lot of heartache and disappointment. When I 'expect', I don't ask. When I don't ask, I may not get. If I don't get, I get angry, because I expect others to give it to me without asking.
If I want something, what is wrong with asking... nothing. but I probably have beliefs attached to this issue - if 'X' loves me , he/she should understand or give without having to ask.(who said so?) .
If I have to ask, then it probably means 'he/she is not sensitive to my needs' or 'doesn't care about me' or 'doesn't love me'. 'Even if I ask I may not get it..' so I simmer in the anger and one day it erupts for no reason at all. and the cycle continues...

So I guess I must make a start today... to ask for what I want.. without any expectations. If I have a right to ask for what I want , others have a right to reply whichever way they want...yes/no.. it has nothing to do with how much they love me or whether they love me.. If we can all just be, do, say whatever we feel like... life will flow more easily, i feel.

Father's Day

    I’m glad Hari is the father of my(our?) daughter. He’s a wonderful, expressive, communicative father. He asks questions, listens, gives space, teaches and learns from her. (Well most of the time, except when he’s caught up with his stresses-sometimes). He’s very gentle and loving. Well, Anjali may have some issues, but this is from what I see and sense.  Celeb rating Father's day reminds me of my father and my relationship with my father. He was soft and gentle with me and didn’t interfere with my mother’s style of parenting which was different. He woke me up early to study for my Board Exams -   with a cup of tea and stayed awake so I don’t fall asleep. Motivated me to do well in the 7th boards by promising me a watch (a very big deal- not approved by mom at the time), bought me a Kinetic when I got my first job(he intended it as a gift!) and so much more. I was with him in the last - couple of years of his life - took him around on my Kinetic sometimes. L...

Why I think Sushant's death is a spiritual big picture event, meant to shake us up, as a community and as individuals: Sushant was definitely on a mission..he had so many projects and plans to make a difference in  so many areas and also enjoy life here and on the moon and in space and help kids, nasa,  astronomy, gaming, ai, you name it….flood relief, disaster relief and so on…. Little did he know (or did he know ?) that the biggest change he would bring in the world was by  dying. The upheaval in bollywood, so many crazy things ,criminal things, bullies, conspiracies,  competition, insecurities coming to light, murders, hush ups, mafia connections… things we  always suspected are being part of direct confrontations now. More and more people willing to  speak up against the injustices( there will also be people who take advantage of the situation  and make up stories to their advantage).  I was pleasantly surprised to see AR Rah...

27th August 2019

It's been a while. I believed that writing a blog regularly is good. And I didn't write regularly. I just checked - the last one i wrote was in 2017. And yet I continued to believe that it was a good thing to write a blog regularly. Guess how that made me feel? Not good.  What's the advantage in holding on to that thought if I'm not doing it? Did it motivate me? Not at all...if anything, it made me criticize and judge myself as lazy, unambitious, unmotivated, can't write and so on. Can I drop that thought then and be free to write when I want to? Not because it's good for me or for my business. I have so much to share. My experiences with clients and workshops. My own growth with every facilitation I do. I intend to do so in a book or maybe this blog. One by one. When the time is right. And not a moment before. No stress. If you have any questions you want to ask me, you're welcome. I can answer those...that way I know what to write about.. .  ...
