Energy

Have you tried the concept of “a new me” everyday? Try giving yourself a new name in the morning and remember that you are not your original name for that day. Because with that old name is attached a lot of negative energy and often unsavory memories.

So, try getting clean energy with a new beginning every morning. It really works wonders. It even becomes an exciting game with great benefits.

Achievement

 It strikes me that we are tested with everything we fear in life. To be fearless therefore, is the way to go. That energy can cut away any ropes of debilitation and spurs us on towards achievement.

The timid energy which works under more energetic people can leave you very unfulfilled. Constantly under the control of people and circumstances is the reality of fearful people who face survival issues and a tremendous lack in their lives. Their energy is consumed by those who feed upon their timidity and even sacrifices. They will remain subservient. Their mind perceives many limitations which make them limited and stuck in that groove and unable to move out of that toxic energy.

Worth analyzing!

Silence

 Holding your head high tells people that you are the lead character of your own story. Confidence is liberating from external Validation. Walk tall and create your own space. Don’t shrink into someone else’s world.

Respect starts with you. Don’t give energy to anything negative. People will test your boundaries, try to judge you and control you even, and fail to see your worth. Or it may not suit them to see your worth so, they would try to push you down.

Silence to any external negative stimulus is the apt response. Silence in thought and silence of any reaction.

Owning your own life is the biggest step forward.  Let everything come from within and grow on your own elevating benchmark every day, based on your own increasing wisdom. Learning and growth are products of personal experiences. No one can live your life for you, however supportive they may be.

Truth and Lies

Truth and Lies stood face to face. Truth said there is nothing beyond me. Lies said, I am more liked and more in demand than you.

And so the debate continued. One day, lies asked Truth to join it for a swim. The gullible Truth agreed and jumped into the water. Lies hastily took all its clothes, cloaked itself with those clothes and started going around , pretending to be the truth.

When Truth realized the trick lies had played, it started hiding because it was naked now, without clothes.

And thus it happened that no one wanted the naked Truth anymore and preferred Lies disguised as Truth.

This is exactly the plight of Truth even today. Tell me, who wants to hear it or see it? Wherever it goes, it becomes unpopular.

And, we are living a life inspired by Lies which tells us only what makes us feel good but not what is actually good for us.

But energies are shifting and Lies is gradually losing ground. There is a chapter of Lies that is ending and new light energies are emerging.

In this world, although light and dark are both existent, ultimately, light pervades darkness. Light is eternal and darkness is only a temporary absence of light.

Opportunities

 There is a strange mechanism at work in the universe. The moment you start living with gratitude and grace, not giving space to any dark thoughts/ energy, there are some opportunities that come to you to serve humanity.

I have wondered about this and concluded that while we are in a state of chaos, HE does not want to burden you further. But your burden is self-created. And only YOU can elevate yourself from this situation to a higher plane.

Life really works like clockwork if you let things happen, without getting affected.

God is within and around us and HE can propel

You into meaningful activities if you let HIM.

Perspective

 The mantra for life, I have discovered, is “that was THEN, this is NOW”. If we reflect on our thoughts, how much of our thinking patterns come from past experiences? A maximum percentage, I would imagine. We judge people from past experiences.

Our relationships, more often than not, are dictated by the past experiences too. Our trust factor also comes with time, again only from the past. Our behavior stems from early conditioning. Our guilt comes from what we did wrong earlier. Our lack of forgiveness is because someone has hurt us and that becomes a negative past memory. So, the past, which is really a ghost, rules over us even though it has passed.

It is incredible that we still won’t let go. Irrational that we won’t give our present a chance. The more we read about living in the NOW, the less we actually do. The past has occupied so much space within us

Popularly said, “nowhere” can be changed with a new perspective, “NOW HERE”. But our mind is here and there all the time. Never in the NOW.

Awaken, people, to what we are doing to ourselves during our life here! Improving every moment in the present, trying to clean each such moment is the only thing we can do.

As we clean, and declutter, we create new spaces to attract the energy which can change our lives and bring in what we call miracles”.

Transformation

 

I had never thought of excess emotion as energy pollution but today, after studying Advaita Vedanta, I am beginning to understand why it is called pollution. It is a mind activity. And imbalanced emotions contribute to turmoil, stress, turbulence and more , spreading a lot of unhappiness all around. It is like cancer cells spreading without control, god forbid!

If we begin to understand that everything from people to relationships to mind, intellect, ego function as per our tendencies, maybe from this life or past lives, we would sit back and think. In either case, these are dangerous because they trigger imbalanced actions without giving a window to reflect before acting.

Fire is a wonderful purifier of the emotional energy pollution. Spend time in front of the fire. Light lamps or candles and meditate in front of them, especially when you are restless, agitated, with some amount of disturbance in the mind.

Nothing lasts! We just have to make an effort, sometimes a Herculean one, to regain our peace. And for this, there is nothing like sharing our love and caring with those less fortunate. Because, often, we become very selfish in our negative states of being.

And of course, befriend the fire element for beautiful transformations.

Superfluous

 How does it help to get desperate to get something in life ? I wonder ! If one has to get so desperate for anything, it really has to be worth it.  But, is anything really worth it ?

You lose your peace of mind and what you are ultimately left with after all that desperation and even some amount of frustration , is not peace but just a piece of your mind which has been fragmented many times over.

Such a waste of energy and your mind , too. Even scientifically speaking, this state is a state of imbalance. It would be a good exercise to imagine all that we can actually do without , and the conclusion is mind boggling. Because we can do with a lot less. And this means many things in our lives are superfluous. Which in turn means, there is no need for any desperation to achieve the superfluous.

This brings us into a state of balance. If you achieve it, great ! If you don’t , great ! This attitude keeps the mind as well as our peace quotient intact.

And isn’t this what we strive day in and day out : a slice of peace ?

Energy

 Gradually, we find that there are a few people who occupy the space around  our energy and who actually strengthen our  energy system with love  and nurturing .

Of course, the opposite is also true. They could deplete our  energy. But there is no one to be blamed. We all know about compatible energies and incompatible ones. And yet, we do keep some incompatible ones around us , for reasons best known to us.

No harm ! Provided we can protect our energies effectively. Because we will always find both energies around us. So, better to learn how to manage ourselves when required because expecting Someone to change their energies is asking for the moon.

Motivation

 

Sometimes, I wonder if we see ourselves the way others see us ? In a way, it is a good thing to be oblivious ! Live  in our own world !

Though , if we did see ourselves from the  eyes of another, , we would not do the many things we do. We would check our behaviour.

Sensitivity develops only with the scrutiny by others. We just don’t analyse our own selves while being extra quick in interpreting the actions of others.

Huge misunderstandings can deplete our energies big time if we don’t watch out ! Only because we only did what most people do anyway.. blame someone else ! Without knowing even half of what might have motivated someone to do what they did.

Old story ! New episodes every day !

Perspective

 Unless we resonate with each other, I am comfortable within my own space and also in leaving you to your own space.

There is much merit in this thought process. First of all, respecting the space of each other ensures an enduring association between people. Not distancing due to some mistaken perspectives but consciously proving the same space to others that you would like for yourself. Simple enough on the face of it and until you keep it simple and not encroach on personal space.

This desire to be close to people also spells entering someone else’s energy . And sometimes, that person may not have firm boundaries in place and may end up more vulnerable and easily affected . 

Energy poaching is as harmful as poaching. Sometimes, Even more. So, this learning is a huge learning and is slated to bring in more awareness.

Avatar of people

 I think many of us have seen life and people at close quarters. And yet, sometimes we are shocked at the avatar of people we have somewhat known since many years.

Actually, we have to constantly watch our spiritual quotient so as to use the right way to reach the top. And remember that the “top” is an illusory place and very relative in any case.

A hunger for power may be described as being ambitious but the word “hunger” smacks of an imbalance which might override good sense, wisdom and ethics.

We always think men answer to such a description . But, today, usurping power , overruling or sweeping aside a majority is getting to be a common factor even with women. It is certainly not gender based. The field is wide open.

It is amazing to see that there is no concept of right or just when it comes to thirst for power.

This thirst percolates down the layers of society , so much so that someone who retires from the limelight is unable to bear anonymity. And it is even worse if power had been acquired unethically. Guilty kicks in and remorse becomes an “after the event “ syndrome.

Every thought , every deed is energy . It increases or depletes and creates our reality based on how our levels of balance are and how big a role dharma plays in our lives.

Success happens to a deserved level if we are righteous but if we aim too high, we may not be able to be righteous all the time and will sacrifice ethics at some point.

And that’s why contentment and dharma are very important.

Circumstances

 

Good sense must always prevail at the worst of times. And one of those worst times is when you feel victimized by life’s circumstances. It doesn’t really solve anything. In fact, depletes all your good energy.

When we enter a dark room, and there is no light, no candle in hand and no way to find one, we try to feel our way back to the door. Do we feel like we are victims of fate because this happened to us? Yes, we might feel angry, frustrated but not like victims.

But somehow, when we feel diminutive and lost without connection to and trust in the divine power within us, we fail to see the way out that door.

Because we MUST know that we came in from a place which was lit up. So, obviously, there IS light out there. We just have to find it.

Goodluck.

External energy

 

Whatever or whoever WE give energy to be bound to become powerful. It could be an episode, a person anything. It could be just a thought that we might dwell on, especially a negative one or a positive one even. Both take on energy of their own and often, the negatives become a disturbing element in our lives.

For this reason, we are taught to give space and keep to our own space a simple matter of keeping our energies intact. If we are disturbed, for sure we have debilitated ourselves by transferring energy of our own outside of us.

“Letting go” simply means sending the negative energy back to where it belongs and regaining our strength. When we hoard external energies through thoughts and emotions is when we create imbalances within us. This awareness will help us to keep returning to equilibrium.

So, everything starts with us, and what form it takes may sometimes, not be within our control. Like a raging forest fire, it might destroy more than we ever bargained for.

Adaptation

 

Living in denial is really detrimental. Whether it is the Congress that lives in denial of the obsoleteness of dynastic rule or it is you and me who don’t accept facts of our lives.

You know, to keep accepting changes gets exhausting and that is when one goes into the denial mode. The fact of life is that equations change, people change, some outlive their uses, others move on... and to cope with many and often, rapid changes requires energy, courage and persistence of adaptation to changes.

We don’t do even ten percent work on ourselves, accumulating polluted energy in the bargain.
