Intelligence

 The onus of your life is totally yours. It is your choice all the way. What you do and even what you abstain from doing.

Your thought processes, your way of dealing with people and situations, your decisions to involve or withdraw, to tolerate or not, to compromise or not. 

Life is like a game of tennis. The ball keeps coming at you and you have to take quick action about whether a forehand is required or a back hand, and how to strategize to win points. And how to get really good with ace serves.

Similarly, life is a game of courage, intelligence and the ability to learn and move on, not lose your energy over what could have been. And life gives you chance after chance to learn, throwing repeated lessons at you until you learn from them.

You will notice that many a time, there will be someone out to get you , bait you , and you keep reacting with irritation. But the thumb rule is that as soon as you become immune to it, they lose their hold on you. It is an energy hold and you have given your power away. As is the case with anything that succeeds in controlling / overpowering you.

The awareness you need each minute is to conserve your energy, stay within your space and use your intellect with wisdom. Emotions too, IF you are able to use them intelligently. But, keep your aura intact. At all times.

Experience

Life is a cycle. You live, you experience, you learn, you trust the process. Again, you experience, learn not to trust too much. Then you experience and experience, some good, some bad, some ugly.

Now, you unlearn some of what you have learnt, go into new learnings discarding the older ones.

And then again you learn that maybe the older ones were, in fact, better learnings. And you start trusting all over again.

Does it sound familiar? Like a yoyo or a roller coaster. Up and down, side to side. And we suffer from a dizziness that lasts until our breath leaves us. And we never experience a balanced state!

Life is great fun!

Evolution

 

I wonder when you reach a point when you are able to streamline your life. When the transition is happening, it could be confusing. You might opt for something and then opt out of it. You might be really enthused one minute and lose interest the next.

One tag which you might acquire may be “erratic”. But no! It could very well be a streamlining process active within you that is leaving behind old ideas, old patterns and learning new ways to evolve.

I have never believed in tags pinned on others. We really are not qualified to judge. Are we? Because we are constantly changing, or so I would like to think.

Perceptions


In pursuit of unhappiness! A simple fact is that the more you pursue the need to find answers to your panic/anxiety etc., the less you can actually accomplish feeling better.

Giving energy to personal pain and suffering and concentrating on wounds just debilitates you. Because you go deeper and deeper into that negative energy.

When you actually learn how to deal with unhappiness only will you learn to be happy. Not by pushing anything away but by accepting everything and dealing with it, difficult as it may seem.

Hard times become toxic and spread to our physical bodies. How do you work when you are in the eye of the storm? Work with body sensations and meditate on this. Don’t focus on the story. Create an alchemy within yourself to transform the minus into a plus. Be ok with the suffering. Become strong and that strength gives you the way forward.

Reframe suffering as an opportunity. Change your perceptions. Only you can help yourself.

Emotional pain

It has been well established that we have the capacity to heal ourselves and don't have to live with pain. One of the worst is emotional pain, the pain of feeling hurt, rejection, being discriminated against, humiliation to name a few. And this happens because we give too much energy to these emotions. Our attention gets focused on just one point, our feelings.
Have you tried to focus at an object near you for a few seconds ? It builds up pressure. And then, when you look away into the expanse of vision before you, you feel relief. Similarly, if you look at the vastness before you, the emotions become very minuscule and manageable.
The heart is connected to this world and the other world to heal
these emotions by yourself, and you can, you need to meditate on the heart chakra, sending it love, sending love to the whole creation and visualising love coming your way from the whole creation. This is a powerful healing meditation. In a few weeks, there would be both inner and external changes to n time and with daily practice. The pain will recede for one, and a happier state of mind sets in worth trying.
