The Dream
Strange are the ways of the Universe
The Spiritual Woman is born through the Beloved
Inhaling love
Exhaling gratitude.
Years before her re-birth
She is given a vision
A dream vivid she never dreamed of.
The beloved is in pain
In labor
She is the witness beside him
He gives birth to a bouncing baby
A golden being radiating love
The dream ends.
Two years later
She is re-born
Through the beloved
A radiant being of light
Inhaling love
Exhaling gratitude
A Warrior Goddess of
Universal Love.
Strange are the ways of the Universe !!!

The journey to wholeness begins with brokenness.
The
journey to wholeness begins with brokenness. So if someone broke your heart,
don’t blame him/her. Instead, be thankful that he/she placed you on the path to
wholeness. Work on yourself with the understanding that what broke your heart
was not love, but attachment to the person. Love is not so poor. It was your
ego, that was clinging to what you mistakenly perceived as love.
You are
already whole but in the process of growing up, conditioned by the society,
you forgot your wholeness. In your
innocence, you believed the lies that the society told you, that you are weak
and powerless, that you are only half and you need another person to complete
you. In your innocence, you kept looking for love, for a prince/ss to love you
and make you whole. That’s the biggest lie the society has driven into you. Two
people begging for love from each other without love for self, are heading for
disappointment and disillusionment. There is no way the other can complete you,
because both are broken inside. Two broken souls only damage each other.
So
before you look for love again, work on yourself, love yourself and heal
yourself. Reclaim your power back. Instead of begging for love, become love.
Love empowers and makes you whole ( while attachment sucks the life out of you
!! ).
Become a giver of unconditional love, without discrimination. Don’t be a
victim of worldly love. Be a winner of Divine Love and the right people will
gravitate towards you.
Become
whole and your wholeness will attract another wholeness towards you. That love
will be conscious love built on awareness and mutual respect.

Sensitivity is your Strength !!
There is a general acceptance that
“ Sensitivity is both a blessing and a curse ”. Being a highly sensitive soul,
I have experienced these extremes to the
maximum. I have gone through excruciating pain that ripped my soul apart and
split my heart open, allowing me to embrace the light and heal myself to become
a stronger person. I have also experienced Divine Love at its highest pedestal,
that made me ‘whole’ and put me on my
own unique path of Love and Devotion.
If not for my sensitivity and
vulnerability, I would not have become the person I am today. Therefore, with
sincere gratitude to the Universe for all the experiences I had gone through
this journey of life, let me rephrase the above quote.
“ Sensitivity and vulnerability are your most treasured
possessions. Make them your strength and they will become blessings from the
heaven"

The Journey continues ...
Today marks the Fifth Anniversary of the day I received the divine call, to embark on a spiritual journey to the unknown. I feel so happy, I had the courage and the vulnerability to accept the call and surrender myself to the existence, that sent me through the kiln of love to forge me into the person I am today.
Over a span of five years, I witnessed my 'old self' falling away and the gradual emergence of a new being. I am thankful to all the divine souls who entered my life to lift me up , to inspire me and guide me to discover my own unique path of love & devotion. Through the ups and downs of a spiritual journey of five years, I learned an important lesson. To the one who feels gratitude from his/her heart and soul, life becomes an amazing journey.....
Thank you beloved souls for being in my life !!

How I came out of Depression
I write because it is my inner
calling to share, whatever I had learned through experience on my journey
inward, to heal myself and become the best version of myself. Even though each
individual journey is unique, I hope my experiences would help in some way, at least a few who are going
through depression, to recover and find their way back to happiness.
I give below the path I followed,
the moment I became aware of the depression.
1) Intention
You must have a genuine desire to
heal yourself. Instead of wallowing in misery and plunging into deeper
depression, make a positive affirmation to yourself. “ I want to heal myself as
quickly as possible” and send your intention to the Universe; and don’t forget
to thank in advance. Say “ Thank you for healing me ! “ Do this several times a
day until it is deeply rooted in your subconsciousness.
2) Take Responsibility
It is natural for the human mind
to blame others or the circumstances for driving one to depression. However, it
is important to realize that NO ONE IS RESPONSIBLE for the state you are in.
YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALLOWING YOURSELF TO FALL INTO DEPRESSION AND YOU
ALONE CAN COME OUT OF IT. So take the
responsibility and start working your way out of the misery that you yourself
had created.
3) Embrace the Pain
I agree, it is the most painful
thing but you cannot run away from it. You may postpone it, deny that you have
been hurt and try to act strong but eventually, the repressed wounds are going
to take the toll by way of manifesting as depression gradually, without you
being even aware of it. So be brave and embrace the pain and let yourself feel
the pain to the maximum. LET THE HEART BREAK ! I promise your heart can take much more
pain than you had ever imagined! Let the heart break, and let the light in, to
heal you and make you stronger. Cry as much as you can. Tears are the best
healers. You will be amazed how calm and relaxed you would feel after letting
out the blocked energies.
04) Meditate
Having cried your heart out now
you are in a perfect position to meditate. No, I am not talking about sitting
cross-legged with closed eyes. It is a graceful moving meditation developed by
OSHO, the Indian Mystic Guru. It’s Kundalini Meditation. The one, that still
works best for me. It helped me to release
all the bottled up emotions and made me feel calm and relaxed. For the more
energetic ones, the Dynamic Meditation can help. Both Kundalini and Dynamic
meditations are usually done in a group but being an introvert, I prefer to
practice alone. Make sure that you have one full hour for yourself,
undisturbed, and make sure the phone is switched off.

with Kundalini meditation here is the link.

05) Practice Self Love
You need to love yourself because
no one else is going to love you the way you want to be loved. We have been
conditioned to believe that loving one’s self is “selfish”. Having grown up
with this mentality, we put others before us and totally forget to love
ourselves, which invariably leads one to despair at some point in life. When
that happens, there is no other way to come out of it, other than to reverse
the whole sequence. “How can you expect others to love you when even you cannot
love yourself?” I had to ask myself this question innumerable time to convince
myself that self-love is “healthy”. Here are few ways to practice loving
yourself.
1. Accept
yourself totally. Look at yourself in the mirror from head to toe and accept
yourself as you are, with all your imperfections. Know that you are beautiful
in your own unique way! Look into your eyes and take note of the expression.
Are they sad, angry or fearful? Your eyes are the mirrors of your soul. Promise
yourself to bring love and compassion to your eyes by working on your soul.
Start working on inner beauty and the outer body will respond accordingly.
2. Look
at yourself in the mirror as many times as possible. Smile and say “I love you
my beautiful soul”. As you continue this practice, you will gradually develop a
desire to be beautiful inside out!
3. Set
healthy boundaries. Learn to say “No” when necessary. It is not your duty to
please everyone. If it doesn’t agree with your conscience, by all means say
“No”.
4. Love
your body. It is the temple of your soul. Your body has served you
unconditionally for so many years. Take time to feel thankful to your body.
Feel each part of your body lovingly and say “Thank you, I love you”. Your body
responds to your touch and will regenerate itself to serve you even better.
5. Take
up Yoga / Sport/ Exercise. Anything to keep you moving and active. I love yoga
because it helps me to keep the body and mind together, maintains my
flexibility and keeps me in good shape and health. Besides, it is a kind of a
physical meditation for me.
6. Spend
time in Nature. Take a walk in the park. Walk barefoot on grass and feel the
freshness of the grass moving through your soles and revitalizing the body. Let
the Earth absorb your negative energies and replenish you with positive
vitality. Lie down on grass or on a bench and gaze at the sky. Talk to the
clouds and send your gratitude to the Universe. We are fortunate to be alive on
this wonderful planet, aren’t we?
7. Get
yourself immersed in a hobby. Be it reading, writing, painting, music, dancing
or anything that brings you joy and keeps your mind focused.
06) Laugh. Laugh for no reason.
When we laugh, the brain releases
dopamine, a neurotransmitter that produces feelings of happiness. Healthy
production of dopamine will keep you cheerful throughout the day. For those who find it difficult to laugh, the
Laughing Meditation technique of OSHO will definitely help. You may find it
very artificial at the beginning, but do not lose heart. After forcing myself
to laugh for four days, I cried on the fifth day because it was so difficult to
bring myself to laugh. On the sixth day as I was about to give up, I had a
‘glimpse’ of laughter which lasted only for a few seconds. Nevertheless I was
encouraged. On the tenth day, laughter
came out as naturally and I was laughing for no reason and feeling like a child
again ! Try this. I promise it will be worth trying !
OSHO LAUGHING MEDITATION
EVERY morning upon waking, before
opening your eyes, stretch like a cat. Stretch every fibre of your body. After
three or four minutes, with eyes still closed, begin to laugh. For five minutes
just laugh. At first you will be doing it, but soon the sound of your attempt
will cause genuine laughter. Lose yourself in laughter. It may take several
days before it really happens, for we are so unaccustomed to the phenomenon.
But before long it will be spontaneous and will change the whole nature of your
day.
For those who have difficulty
laughing totally or who feel their laughter is false, Osho has suggested this
simple technique. In the morning, early, before you have eaten anything, drink
almost a bucketful of water – lukewarm with salt in it. Go on drinking it and
do it fast, otherwise you will not be able to drink much. Then just bend down
and gargle so the water will flow back. It will be a vomiting of the water –
and it will clean your passage. Nothing else is needed. There is a block in the
passage so that whenever you want to laugh, that stops it.
In Yoga, this is a necessary
procedure to be followed. They call it a ‘necessary purification’. It purifies
tremendously, and it gives a very clean passage – all the blocks dissolve. You
will enjoy it and you will feel the cleanness all day. The laughter and the
tears, and even your speaking, will come from the very deep centre.
Do it for ten days and you will
have the best laugh around!

07) Practice Gratitude
Feel grateful for everything you
have in your life. There are millions out there who are wishing for what you
have been given in life. It is gratitude that brings us happiness. Not the
other way.
These are my first hand
experiences. If you know of other ways to help someone come out of depression,
please share and help to grow the list. Thank you for reading.

How to overcome Resentment and find Happiness again !!
Let the “Light of the
Universe” flow through me
Cleansing me of all
resentment
Fill my being with “Love
and Light”
Leave no room for
resentment
I forgive All,
totally,
unconditionally,
I am a “Free Soul” !!
Resentment
is a demon that consumes our happiness and peace of mind. For a long time in my
life I lived with resentment, because I could not approve of the behavior of some people. I lived a miserable life with a heavy
heart, unable to find the cause of my unhappiness. Then something happened that
changed my entire life. As if by Divine Grace, I crossed the path of someone
who later became my Spiritual Guide. My first problem to put forward was how to
find happiness. A detailed introspection revealed that the root cause of my
unhappiness was resentment, though it appeared quite insignificant to me at that
time.
In
his own words, I share below, how conscious awareness helped me to overcome
resentment and find happiness again.
“ First of all you must understand
that all souls on earth are at various levels of “consciousness”. It is in fact
various levels of “enlightenment”. You have to understand it like this…. All
the souls on earth, learn through their experiences, and integrating these
lessons in their respective “soul memories”. You may also call them “soul
lessons” that we take with us from one incarnation to another. We must learn to
respect the fact that the specific soul we are interacting with, in the context
of situation we are discussing here, might not necessarily be as progressed as
yours.”
“They are also travelers like us but
they might be going through initial stages of their “consciousness” and would
be a better soul in their next incarnation. So in this situation, we have to be
more responsible because we might be the one selected to impart some positive
energies or lessons to such fragile souls for their future progress”
“We
have to remember that all souls are “pure” at the time of birth but due to low
level of consciousness and distorted societal beliefs, we start behaving in a
bad manner! We are all lovable beings, we just have to realize that souls
inside everyone are in fact as beautiful as ours, they too deserve to be
loved….. they are crying to be healed but their worldly bodies are resisting it
due to “Egos”.
It
is my calling to share with the world everything that I learned on my spiritual
journey of five years. I am still learning and growing to become the best
version of myself. I hope these words I received from a “Pure Soul” will help
many others too, to overcome resentment and find happiness again !!! Much Love and
Light !!!

The Angel
A
broken Angel she was
A
tattered soul - scattered in pieces
nowhere
to go - nowhere to look
but an
empty space staring
nudging
her to float.
An
Angel passing by - spotted the pieces
Still
shimmering, though dying
A
voice called him,
“Put
them together - She is a beautiful soul”
The
Angel set to work
Night
and day tirelessly
forging
and carving
A
New Being of Love
for the next Dimension.
The
Divine Mission done
The
Angel said to her
“The
force is now awakened
the
light is shining bright
your
wings are grown
Now
fly !!”
She
took off to the blue skies
To
spread the message of
Love
and Gratitude.
