Meditation.

-

You need a strong sense of determination and clarity to be happy, if you are waiting for the situation and people to change for you to be happy let me tell you that time is never coming! it can give you unrealistic optimistic hopes but can't make you happy, the irony in today's world is that most of us who are suffering know the root cause of suffering but we are too indecisive to act.

To end this suffering, Meditation can help you it will help you to unlearn and decondition your mind to learn new practices and reflect on your own thoughts and values and embrace them.

 But hey what is meditation and why we should do it?

The answer to this question is actually very complicated, as the world has given various meanings and ways to do it but here we will try to keep it simple and pick one definition which is - it is a state of full awareness and being mindful. In simple words, meditation is a state of full awareness, awareness is when we are fully present all of the time see your body is always present at the moment but it is your mind that wanders so meditation practices can help in the alignment of your mind, body, and soul. Before talking about how to practice it let's talk about why to practice it: -

  • inner fulfilment.
  • openness in relationships.
  • compassion, even for others.
  • no judgments.
  • peace, patience, calmness, and good mental health.
  • clear priorities which will lead to more productivity.
  • immune to opening storms.
  • self-confidence and peace.
  • great sleep.
  • you began to understand yourself better and generate acceptance.
I would like to share my way with you, the meditation we will practice here is a simple sitting meditation- simply sit at a comfortable spot with a relaxed posture and put your palms on your thighs close your eyes, watch your thoughts silently don't fight them don't try to control them (this will make the situation worse), slowly bring your attention on your breath or you can chant some mantras or listen to some white noise. Remember we don't have to fight with our thoughts and emotions we have to accept, reflect, and embrace. You can filter your thoughts through your value system and try to find the root cause of your problem use your intelligent brain and emotional brain together to seek stillness in the turmoil of life

For better results, you can maintain a Journal where you can express your emotions, like in Accountancy journal is a book of original entries same use your journal to record all of your unfiltered, original thoughts.

I know that many of you have tried meditation and making it a daily habit but haven't been fortunate, I say give it another chance, be gentle start with 5 minutes a day be persistent the right time to meditate is the time you choose for yourself. 

Wandering of mind isn't bad at all, in fact, it allows for creativity, planning, and imagination among other things However it is natural for the mind to wander, it is imperative to become aware of these mental tendencies and to use them purposefully, rather than letting them take over.

Happy Meditating :)

 It is easy to spend much of your days beating up on yourself for past mistakes, we analyze that relationship that failed and relentlessly review everything we did wrong. Once and for all stop being so hard on yourself, you are human being and human beings are designed to make mistakes, as long as you don't keep making the same errors and have the good judgment to let your past serve you, you will be on the right track, accept them and move on as Mark Twain wrote " we should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; least we will be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. it will never sit down on a hot stove lid again- and that is well, but it will never sit down on a cold lit anymore." Realizing that we all make mistakes and that they are essential to our growth and progress is liberating. we lose the need to be perfect and adopt a saner way of viewing our lives, we can begin to flow through life the way a mountain st...

Three primary forms of Happiness.

 Eric Greitens says that there are three primary forms of happiness;  The happiness of pleasure, The happiness of grace, and The happiness of excellence.  He compares them to the primary colors, the basis for the entire spectrum. The happiness of Pleasure is largely sensory, it's a good meal when you are hungry, the smell of the air after it rains, waking up warm, physical touches basically any pleasure you are getting through your sensory organ. The happiness of Grace is gratitude, spirituality, prayer, religion, or anything that includes inner joyous state, it's taking inventory of what you do have. It is when you speak to something greater than yourself, expressing humility then there is The happiness of  Excellence, the kind of happiness that comes from the pursuit of something great, not the moment you arrive at your desired destination, but the process of falling in love with the path you have taken. It is meaningful work. It is flow. It is the purpose that sea...

Unlearn to New learn.

  “ The illiterate of the future are not those who can’t read or write but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. ” Alvin Toffler Learning something, if you’re actually interested in it, is pretty much always something enjoyable. Learning some things takes longer than others. Unlearning, however, is something quite different. You might make a mistake for thinking it means knowledge just disappearing from your memory. But it’s not that. Unlearning is challenging and deconstructing things that are embedded in your way of thinking, acting and reacting. It means moving on from the previous ideas, beliefs, assumptions, etc., should be completely removed for the new one to flourish. They cannot overlap, just as one must remove all of the old roots before planting new flowers. The Learn, Unlearn and Relearn Cycle They talk about unlearning in psychology in terms of letting go of unhelpful beliefs and negative behaviours. The neuro educators might call it  rewiring , but everyo...
