Do you Live or simply exist?
Live and not simply exist? How do we do that? When we act not react. When we make conscious choices. When we choose to spend time with those who fill our hearts. When we do things that ignite our soul. When we align our life with our values. When we embrace, speak and live by…

Conscious living: how its an unending affair
Conscious or mindful living, is not a one time behaviour or pattern nor is it a linear growth process. It demands for awareness in every moment. Awareness of how we feel, how we act and how we react. It can help us dig deeper and get to the root of what pains us, what triggers…

Find beauty in letting go
We weigh ourselves down by holding onto all that doesn’t serve us. All the worries, the fears, the need to control, the grudges, the guilt, the failures, the let downs, the anxiety, etc., etc. We are meant to go through life experiences to learn, grow and move forward.

The Awakening: A Conversation With Myself
“I know you are confused. Since, you are listening today, I am going to lay it all out.”, the body was calm and assertive. “You see, I am your best friend. I support you in every way. But sometimes I get tired and sometimes I also crave a little appreciation and care.

Letting the soul not the ego be our guide…
We come into this incredible world as wholesome, complete, compassionate and loving beings. In fact, I would say each one of us is a little miracle in ourselves.
