  • Do you  Live or simply exist?

    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 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

    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. Yet we hold onto all that happens…

  • reflection: the best navigation tool in life

    reflection: the best navigation tool in life

    Our own reflection and our ability to reflect hold enormous power to help us navigate through this magical journey. Yet no one has ever taught us to stop and make time for reflection. In the everyday hustle and bustle of life we tend to follow everyone around us in search of the unknown. As per…

  • This predictably, unpredictable life

    This predictably, unpredictable life

    If there is one thing we can predict about this life, it is its unpredictability. It was only last week that from my home office window, I looked out and admired the rigid regime of my healthy 85 year old father, as he walked up and down the driveway. Yesterday, he got diagnosed with brain…

  • Let us be the change..

    Let us be the change..

    Every single day as we go through life, we all face negative situations. When we have poor reactions to these situations we let a lot of negative emotions into our mind, body, and soul. Over time, these accumulated negative emotions begin to show up as disease (meaning dis-ease) in our bodies. We begin our rounds…

  • Who Will You Forgive Today?

    Who Will You Forgive Today?

    To fully understand this quote by Lewis B. Smedes is to truly set ourselves free. We have all been there. Knowingly or unknowingly people hurt us badly, let us down and make us feel miserable. We feel so hurt and angry that we begin to rejoice in holding onto that grudge. After all, we need…

  • Appreciating Life’s Everyday Miracles!

    Appreciating Life’s Everyday Miracles!

    Today on the very first day of spring, an absolutely gorgeous flower bloomed in our garden. The very first of the season. I have been watching the ready to bloom buds the last few days. Today as a couple of them miraculously turned into flowers I was in awe and full of joy. I grabbed…

  • The Awakening: A Conversation With Myself

    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…

    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.  A beautiful soul with such complex human system created to perfection with immense potential.  We are ready and equipped to evolve into a unique and amazing individual…
