“Only when there is complete coherence between what you feel and think, between what you say and do can there be balance. And only when there is balance can one experience absolute peace, never-ending joy, all-encompassing love – complete fulfillment and abundance.”
Reading this text I can feel how difficult this is. Not just what I want to say and respond to that in a way that is reflecting my actions and thoughts. Is there a way to perceive absolute peace within?
The theme of today is the journey into self. Not something we all are used to doing on a daily basis. Unless you know and realize how connected our inner and outer world is. As well as how actions create reactions. We are responsible for the way we react to situations around us. That may be on a personal level, between relations as well what happens around us.
The way we perceive the outer world, as part of our inner, is an important tool. To learn and understand what lies within ourselves on emotional and mental levels. If we really want to change outcomes, it is necessary to look within ourselves. To get to know our own insecurities as well as fears and pain.
Hiding within the personal body and connected with our mental and emotional awareness. If we want to change the outcome of those emotions that are caused by fear or anxiety. It is not a process to be taken lightly. Going within the depths of our inner movements is a matter of courage. Taken the issues by the hand so to speak, in order to get some understanding.
Looking back at my life, I was a bit baffled by all the changes the world has gone through. Looking at myself as a toddler, a 4-year-old, growing up with my siblings. My world consisted of the warmth of our kitchen, with a wood burner to cook on. It also provided us with warm water for our weekly baths on Saturday. This also took place in the kitchen, being the only warm room in the house. Sitting in a little iron tub, while my mother washed my hair. The warm water ran from the top of my head along my back. This sensation I never forgot.
There are moments in my life, I have asked myself that same question. Usually, it was at times I had difficulty focusing on my day-to-day life. Throughout so many phases in my life, I didn’t know what purpose in life I served. Looking up from that deep hole I felt I was stuck in. How to find the energy to bring in that makes my life worthwhile? It was dealing with my physical situation as well, which created the struggle to start my day.
I fulfilled my roles being a mother, a wife, and a grandmother with love for sure. I loved being part of the family connections. Most of all, I loved to be playing a part of significance in their lives. Becoming a widow, was a challenge. For the first time after 43 years, I needed to learn to be on my own. Not just practical, in my day-to-day life, yet no longer being part of our relationship. How to find a new balance in my life, as a single woman.
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.
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.
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?
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 crumble to the very core of my being. Since we met there have been struggles and issues to […]
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.
