Growing as we go!

Getting clarity on the 4 stages of our journey to enlightenment . Point is even to get on the path, we need to be clear on what are all the tools available to us and what are the gurus really saying will work. Well it’s not a linear path that is for sure. Start somewhere. Preparation is the first step, then listening to what is in our scriptures, dwelling on what we heard and then finally contempl...

Hi Everyone! I lately realized there is no straight path to achieve something. Also, if we have a thought which is clear in our head - then no matter how remote or unachievable it might be, you might or i should say you will achieve it! It is surprising but i am talking from experience. Note say you want something there no straight forward step to get to that point. But your thought- even if the t...

Just realized again - real happiness is not in buying a big house, a better car, marrying the perfect guy or girl, etc - its only in knowing your true self. We know it but still have to dwell on it. We need a constant reminder until we become that. Just trying to record my realization… Everyone has their own journey. Here is a piece from mine. Hope it helps in any way. Happy journey ya all!!

Sometimes when we are sad or have some kind of downtime, inner engineering steps help me overcome those bad vibes. There is one specific step which you will see it literally taking all such bad feelings out of you. If you get a chance do look into it. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Hope it helps. Happy journey!

I am learning a lot but no questions- not sure if its a good thing or bad. Listen to this session and see if it helps. Happy Journey!

Gut health is king! I am sure this needs to be understood well to stay healthy. Today, I Did my very first interview - with Dr. Anil Sharma, who is a BAMS- Ayurvedic doctor specializing in Neurology and psychiatry. What i got from the session on a high level is an overview on Gut health. Chew your food well, fast at least once a month and consider taking Triphala ( ayurvedic medicine). He also sug...

I am getting ready for my next step. For quite some time i have been planning to interview or maybe have simple candid conversations with some great people in my life, and bringing out here so others can benefit if possible. There are so many amazing people around and so much to offer, its not even funny. Looking forward to it… this is my way of announcing to myself i have to do it. Hope it helps!...

Just realized how much real headache can conflicts give us. Please try not to roam around with so many things bothering you. So many things unresolved. Its not worth it. We need to just get rid of these conflicts so we can be peaceful. Just wanted to share this simple lesson I learnt. Thought of sharing with you. Happy Journey!

I noticed we see these yellow alerts and conveniently choose to ignore them. By yellow alerts I mean the signs which are not completely in our face but we feel them. We sense them and know they are important. They are clearly telling us things but because they are not in our comfort zone we choose to ignore them. The point is we should address them. Otherwise, at some point in life we will face th...

We hear that enlightened people “chop wood carry water” before they were enlightened and still “chop wood carry water” after enlightenment. I wonder how that happens or will happen, assuming we all will be able to attain enlightenment. When we meditate and contemplate simply on the path, it’s hard to juggle day to day life and our inner journey. I wonder how we will be able easily carry it once we...

I listened to Swami Ji’s latest video on enlightenment. Wow, I got some major questions answered, the ones I did not even realize I had. I am not much of a reader and in fact these simple yet heavy lessons from Gita and Vedanta take time to sink in. One thing I do get as a gist of everything- tat tvam asi. Swamiji just answered this big question I had that nothing to worry if you can not easily ab...

There is only one thing needed to get enlightened- only one way - Neti Neti. Neti Neti is process of negation - I am not this, I am not that and so on. Whatever is remaining is our true consciousness - satchitananda atma. This is my understanding from whatever I gathered from my Guruji’s Vedanta classes. Yes how well we do Neti Neti is the whole game….

We all know we should help others. Just realized a simple way of helping others is by sharing something we already know and we know it works. A simple information, a tip or a hack can do wonders for a person in need. We do have inhibitions that what if we don’t sound knowledgeable or what if the person does not receive it well.. don’t worry just share. The beauty of this is, it not just helps them...

Now it’s clear we need to gain knowledge and need to meditate to get enlightened. It will not happen with just one. Need to do both. I realized the more we get on this path, the more confusions. Good confusions. Or we can call them our blocks. In this session all I am trying to say is continue on this path of seeking knowledge and meditating. Eventually we will get our questions answered for the q...

This weekend I learnt that first of course we have to move towards being detached. Secondly I got a feel of a great hack on how to get on that journey of detachment. The answer is acceptance. In this session I am discussing the cycle of life. How to be love our people but be detached at the same time. We need to accept the cycle of life - death is an integral part of it. Yes we will be sad but nee...

I realized if we want to meditate, first most important thing is to forgive everyone including yourself. As discussed in one of my earlier sessions. The second thing which is important and can instantly bring you in meditative state is by aiming for stillness throughout your body. I have not researched this concept much but I am telling you from my personal experience. I think I picked up things f...

How I understand religion is faith in something or someone. Another thing I have been hearing is we all are lost without a religion. I grew up with a faith but that was handed to me by family and society I grew up in. It did not gel with me and now I am totally lost. I have no clarity of what is my religion or faith. What is it that I believe in really. Point is we all need to be clear in what we...

Today I am narrating a very sweet story to indicate how everyone has their own calling. It’s about what my dog does very innocently proving a point - every one has their own calling.

So many times we try to meditate and our mind just does not stop talking. For me it happens a lot and sometimes it just does not calm down. I found a great hack for that. I should say I tried something I had known already just did not know it could work like this. So here it is : when you sit down to meditate, close your eyes and just say you “ I forgive everyone, including myself “. That is it. S...

I noticed no matter what a spiritual guru, a life coach, our parents or anyone else in our lives who has something to say, is teaching us, the base story stays the same. Fundamentals don’t change. I am emphasizing on 3 base habits which I realize every one is emphasizing in different ways. So it’s high time we tackle them and see how to best implement them. Yes first and most important thing is to...

First of all we all need mantras in our lives. What a mantra does is, first cleanses your mind of any thought you have at that time - it could be positive or negative. So, if say you were happy or sad when u started reciting the mantra, while and after reciting it you will be peaceful and not thinking of your thought. You will be surprised even erasing the happy feeling will make you peaceful. Any...

Let’s all ask ourselves this question- what are we waiting for? - in fact let’s ask this question very frequently. We all have a habit of putting all our simple desires also on hold. We think we have forever to live on this planet. We are so sure we will lead a healthy and long life, that we put most of our desires or dreams for later. Guys there is no later. Let’s try to go for our desires now. W...

Guys don’t feel bad about making yourself happy first before you head out to make others happy. Self love is necessary for us!

I have been following Swami Ramdev ji, a great yogi, who teaches yoga to the entire India on a mass scale via TV, social media etc. Here I will be briefly mentioning the 5 techniques we could do every morning for long healthy life. Hope this excites you and you go researching them and implement them in your daily routine. These are 2 breathing techniques ( anulom vilom and kapaalbhaati ) and 3 yog...

I will like to share this golden nugget with everyone- get on with “ Shambhavi Kriya” - it will just take care of you and your life from there on. I am practicing this as taught by The spiritual guru Sadhguru in his Inner Engineering Program. I personally like how they give end to end how to do it - like start with upa yoga etc. to warm up and that preps you for a better experience. Note things wi...
