An early start
I am a British artist living in the North of England and I thought I’d share some of my experiences of
insomnia in case it resonates with anyone else or raises awareness about the condition.
I have had insomnia nearly all my life, indeed I have had it for 58 years – I mean, being unable to get
to sleep at all has been 95% of the problem; 5% has been that I’ve been able to get to sleep only for
a very short time, or get to sleep for a short time but not get any restorative sleep, or get to sleep
but constantly wake up.
What does your ‘Prakriti’ or your Dosha Composition mean?
The word ‘Prakriti’ literally means ‘nature’. So simply put ‘Prakriti’ means the very basic nature that you
were born with. It describes the various attributes that are unique to you and that includes your physical
features, the functioning of your body and your activities and last but not least your psyche!
How do you get a Prakriti or a particular body type?
Much like genes, your Prakriti has been transferred to you through your parents who also in turn had a
body type or ‘prakriti’ of their own transferred to them by their parents and so on.
I have come to a point in my life I have to face the reality of the illusion that I have held for so long. This departure of my loved one is making every illusion I had to crumble to the very core of my being. Since we met there have been struggles and issues […]
The most important lesson for me was to let the wanting go, let go of the forcing, even when I feel the urge to
write and not knowing what will come out of it. Just trusting and relying on, just open to Be the channel and
to serve the way it was intended to be.
We all realize we are living in a world where dualism plays a major part in our lives, don’t we? As we are
aware of the way dark and light are holding each other in balance, sometimes out of balance, yet we all
say without dark there is no light, without cold, there is no hot, or is it just about sensations we feel with
our senses? As there is a difference between being rich or poor or is it about the perspective we look at
those terms?
Without a doubt, this is a challenging experience for most of us. Not just going on a trip, explore new
worlds and countries. Meeting other people and smell the differences within cultures. It is also about a
mindset. Open-mindedness is a necessity. Not a luxury. To go beyond all you are familiar with and know is
challenging. For those who call themselves world trotters, adventurers, travelers across the oceans and
seas, climbing the highest mountains will be easy.
Facing changes is not always easy and sometimes we want to avoid them. Mostly because we have no
clue what the change will bring and this insecurity can put you on hold when fear is part of the change.
Whatever we are facing, if we can be bold enough to take the next step necessary, it will bring you what
you expected or wanted, or it might bring you the least expected change.
When emotions run high,
it is always about you
When emotions run high
It is always about you.
We can cry and be angry
How others are being treated,
It is always about you.
Whenever we are facing difficulties,
it is up to us to choose the way to react.
Within every action and reaction is the intention
of our thoughts and feelings the compass
on the outcome of every experience.
We are the mirror reflection of Life’s highest
expression of creation as a human being.
With an open heart and mind
Sensing the joyfulness within my being
The sense as well of being on the verge
Of something profound and life-changing
The feeling of curiosity and anticipation
All wrapped up in one
