Mindlessly Mindfull by Celebrating chaos

Satori is - that light bulb moment - which occurs in a flash - in a mist unexpected way. We have to experience the moment of joy without attaching ourselves to it.

Wabi- means simplicity and Sabi means- the beauty in age and use. Most things look better when they have lived well. They have gone through life’s challenges and come through with scars.

Japan has many philosophies and value systems. We will be exploring each of those in the coming weeks. Listen today to the episode on IKIGAI - Purpose of life.

To know the people of any nation, we need to know the value system that guides the people. Through the coming episodes we will be exploring the values from Japan

Personal values create our personal identity. As to who we are, what defines us, what we care about and how we can grow and evolve?

Each family is bound together by the values they create and follow for a peaceful and orderly life. I was fortunate to be born into such a family of wonderful people.

As we explore about value systems around the world and see how each society functions as one unit, what makes the people who they are, how personal value systems can be developed and much more will be explored beginning with this first episode

What makes a country unique? Why are we attached to certain people? Which culture seems creative? How do we create our life systems? Do we already have one? Where did it come from? These are some of the questions we will be answering in our new topic. Please stay connected and share your views.

As we come to the end of purpose, I hope you all have enjoyed listening to these podcasts as much as I enjoyed doing them. We will move on to newer topic after this. Until then bye bye.

Creating a creative space is tough for anyone. Specially to crave a niche space become a huge rat race. Without consistent effort you can create your - “Creative Identity” which makes you special and elevates your work to another level. Keep listening. More is coming.

Moving on from passion to purpose, there comes a small pause- where in one has to know the difference between - purpose for life’s goal and career. Choice is yours to make. Would you just indulge in your passion and purpose for pure joy or convert it into your profession and career. Adds value to it no doubt, but does it take away its essence? Let’s check it out.

Diving into purpose, gives one a inner glimpse of what it is- to have a purpose and to pursue that. And it’s strength and weakness. Purpose is too vast a topic. You have to early on decide and see, what you wish to do with your purpose?

We are moving into the next topic which is purpose. We have many passions, hobbies, talent and skills. We don’t make all of them our purpose. Some passions do stand out and becomes a calling. Through the next episodes, let’s together discover what is - Purpose.

When we find a passion and indulge in it everyday, practising and practising, until it becomes perfect. Perfection is an illusion. It doesn’t exist. More we seek, more we will be disappointed. So stop seeking perfection and aim towards excellence. Find in your art- that which you wish to see in the world.

Any hobby or art or passion can get better only with regular practice. The more you practice, the more it gets perfect. The ancient art forms were so perfect only because they went through years and years of practice.

Once you know your passion, and finish doing the one minute rule, start cultivating the daily habit for your passion. Habit grows everyday and sooner than you realise it will be your second nature.

Once you have chosen the passion. Begin to practice the one minute rule- sit with it same time every day. It becomes a habit and also enhances discipline.

Liking many things, wanting to do what others are doing, all this may help in some ways, but it is not passion that we speak about here. Passion is a burning desire, deep inside you…which doesn’t let you sleep. Listen on…

The first step towards passion is to analyse and understand, what passion means to each one of us. It is different things to different people. Not all approach it the same way. We will explore passion as we move within this topic.

We begin the new year with a new podcast on living well, and creating our own creative journey without the input of others.

Folk tales come with a beautiful narrative on its own, adding to the traditions and culture of the people from where it comes. This is the last episode of storytelling and we will meet again in the new year - 2023 again with a new topic and episode.

This is a story about two brothers, and their parents. One brother wants to separate his parents to bring light into the world, and the other brother wants to protect his parents and keep them united.

Buddhism is a religion born out of Hinduism the oldest religion, but clearly mapped its path through Dharma, Ahimsa and wisdom. The stories of the zen are so short, but full of value and ethics.

This is a Japanese folk tale, taken from the pages/posts written by Kyota Ko San, and recited here with his permission. The fundamental requirement of storytelling is to credit the original author.

Story about self- love, belief and conviction. Accepting our imperfections and loving ourselves the way we are. - touching on the Japanese philosophy of wabi sabi- seeing beauty in imperfections.
