When I wrote the title of this blogpost the only thing I could think of is water. There would be many quotes on the internet asking you to be like water, to change your shape according to situations. Like water, you can change your taste too based on what you are mixed with. You see, how you connect to different people from varied backgrounds but gel with them like you were born to gel with them, connect with the things that match and simply allow them to be different from you in their own ways without making the difference too significant. That's how I meet people, speak to them, I have different kinds of friends, from almost different worlds, and every one meets a different version of me that way. A practical thought process to imbibe the philosophical perspective of being like water is to have no form, no structure, no significance. I could say these three words, and people may contract wondering how can we have no form, no structure or no significance when everyone wants to be ...

 I have been doing some thinking, like I always do. And a lot of life consists of reminding yourself of your own roots, on why you started some things at the first place. This not only brings clarity on what you are supposed to be doing but also brings back the motivation you may have had lost in the way. Here are a few things I considered while leaving my job. It's time to relook at them while making my decisions. 1. Is this going to matter to me in 5 years? Anything or anyone who would not matter to me when I turn 35, does not belong to my life. It may mean fair-weather friends. It may mean meaningless job opportunities. It may mean that pancake you want to have or that drink you want to avoid. I want to be asking myself - Is this going to matter to me in 5 years? If the answer is no, then I pass the offer. If the answer is yes, I go ahead. For instance, going home at this time of my life is crucial. Practicing my healing services on Dad by hook or by crook is crucial. He needs t...

  I recently came across this term called “hot and cold manifestation” which is basically inconsistent manifestation. Something that’s about to happen serendipitously for you because you asked for it but then it fades away as soon and ends up not happening for you. If you follow my blog, you’d remember the post I had written a few weeks back on the same – the corporate talk show manifesting and then getting cancelled in the last minute, and my fluctuating energies around the same. And then many people keep complaining how they use affirmations in the morning or in the evening but they are not working for them. Here are some reasons why your manifestations or affirmations aren’t working for you. ·        LACK OF BELIEF People ask me whether to write their affirmations or say it out aloud, whether to write it on bay leaf or look in the mirror and say it. They ask me how many times should they say it.   Here’s the answer: it doesn’t matter....

[Learning the 5 elements of Intimacy is part of the course of The Foundation by Access Consciousness defined by Gary Douglas and Dain Heer. This article contains the writer's own thoughts, experiments and explanation of the same merged with the laws of manifestation and attraction. The writer took The Foundation class in December 2021. If you wish to take the course, find more about it here .] Why are so many people in unhappy relationships? And then why are so many people dating one person after another and never find the one person they are looking for? In this blog post, we are going to talk about all of this in detail. It was long due but better late than never. First and foremost, make a choice- do you truly want a romantic relationship or not? In 2020, I had a realization that I was always this woman who was in a loyal committed long-distance relationship. I made a choice to not choose one for a change. I made a decision to figure out who I am when I am not with someone else....

 I woke up today without the burden of the past. When I opened my eyes, I suddenly felt amazingly light. I absorbed the bed I was in and the room. No lingering thoughts in my head and a lot of messages and notifications in my phone. Before reading them I thought of only one thing - Who am I today? And what grand and glorious adventure am I going to have today? I love it when I wake up like this. I also acknowledge that I put a lot of efforts on doing the inner work the previous night just before sleeping so that the next day is better. I have nothing on my calendar so I just decided to visit a place some 20mins far from where I am. I want to post the testimonial I received in the morning. This is for my rainy days in the future, to remember that on a certain day I was brave enough to conduct a workshop on interpreting visions and dreams and helped a client achieve so much more, do her inner child healing and come out of her body-image issues. The font is too light for my eyes and I...

 I am a public private person. It means although I am sharing so much on social media and gatherings, I still manage to retain my privacy on things I want to. A friend of mine who probably knows me the best amongst all my friends said to me on how even when he knows so much about me, he just knows only 20% of me. You are mysterious that way, he says. Another friend had said that although I keep in touch and we hang out he hardly knows what's going on in my life. Nobody actually does. I am comfortable with this style of living. I always have been.  Until I found out the term- Comfortable Distance last year in December during my Foundation classes. "Are you using Comfortable Distance to limit you?" was the question, I look back at my life and wonder. I wasn't always like this. I had my best friends and boy friends who knew everything about me and somehow those things didn't work out. I ended up becoming more mature, setting boundaries, releasing the need to have bes...

I had the opportunity to assist someone with shopping this Sunday, the 20th of March 2022. I've always been a great advisor when it comes to fashion but this time I also wanted to try energetic shopping using tools of Access Consciousness for Money and tips by Marie Kondo for Joy. Money and joy may not always go hand in hand but they are so corelated. You follow joy and you find money on the way. You receive money and joy comes for free. I am not saying that money can buy happiness. Happiness is more of a mindset than a milestone or an object to buy. But having money brings joy because you have one thing fewer to worry about. Sometimes, you have nothing to worry about. Anyway, I found myself lucky to be assisting someone rich (who can afford any suggestion without worrying about the price-tag) with shopping and trying energetic shopping. I always wanted to do this. I always expected myself to be doing this in Mumbai though (because all the rich and artsy people are there) but life ...

 What the hell have I been doing with 21 pairs of shoes? Too much for someone who keeps wearing the same pair of sandals or goes out wearing slippers. We are real hoarders. Understanding the value of money and being more mindful in my futuristic spends is the goal. I just realized while talking to a friend that I have reduced smoking thanks to the constant question that even though I can afford one pack what's the value of buying that pack? Does it help me in anyway except for a couple of minutes of pleasure and taste? The shopkeeper keeps trying to sell me a full pack and I keep pushing it back. My life and health has no meaning to them, of course. :-D But it need not be the same for me. I have 21 pairs of shoes but why? What for? Buy few things but make them memorable and usable. So many clothes and nothing to wear is a waste of time, space, energy and money. So many shoes and still picking up the comfortable slipper too is a waste of space and money. This helps me understand one...

 I am loving it now. This entire exercise is getting so much fun that I skipped lunch to pursue categorizing of clothes a little more. The amount of clothes I now have to donate is giving me sheer joy too. There's some satisfaction in giving. When we give to others we actually give to ourselves. When we help others we actually help ourselves. But we need to give without expecting things in return. Expectations can only brew discontentment and complaints. Unconditional giving creates so much joy and mental space. And guess what? I finally had the energy to empty the remaining closets too. The only thing remaining is emptying two suitcases and I am sure I'll do that by the night is over. What surprises did I find? A beautiful dress that comes with the tag which means it was never worn. Not sure who bought it. Don't remember myself buying it because it is not even my style. But I can wear it in Goa. Anything goes in Goa. All body image issues disappear in Goa.  I asked my sis ...

 So I've decided to mix KonMari methods along with Access Consciousness methods of How to Become Money Workbook and employ this KonMaring Consciously method in de-cluttering my house. I intend to write this every day to notice the energy shifts and record the same. Today was supposed to be day 1 and as KonMari method suggests - to de-clutter one category at a time starting with clothes. Well, to be honest I have not started de-cluttering today. Not yet. However, I can't help but notice myself pulling out one of the tops to wear today which I usually don't. It's a cotton semi-shirt semi-kurti my parents bought for us in 2019 from their visit to the ISKCON temple. It hardly goes with my fashion sense and I had told them not to buy anymore clothes for me. I did get a few compliments when I wore it to office back in 2019. But the kurti mostly remains unused except for some occasions when I was pretty sure nobody I knew would wear it. Today I find it comfortable to wear. Why...
