Life by Sar

I’ve learned that when I can’t put something behind me or get over it,  it’s because it’s a “me” issue.  Specifically issues that I haven’t dealt with properly which have shaped my views, thoughts and feelings over time. So when I can’t trust someone in circumstances where I really have no reason not to… it's really about all the other times I trusted myself to trust others and the whole thing landed in the shitter! Yes, a nasty cocktail of past disappointments, pain, and anger - the kind you manage to swallow but can't really stomach! During my visit at the Shivanada Ashram in India, I learned that when you’re free from your past, then only can you have a relationship with your intuition or gut feeling. This isn’t just about trusting people. This is about trusting you. You can’t trust yourself unless you have a relationship with your intuition. You can’t trust your gut feelings unless you eliminate clouds of doubt and shadows of anger. To have a relationship with yourself...

From the original article on http://supernaturalbotanicals.com/blog/3-benefits-of-meditation Meditation.   It’s a beautiful thing.   Now hang on, don’t grab your latte and go running for the door just yet. Meditation, perhaps to your surprise, is not only reserved for the deep-thinking, tree-hugging, granola-eating individuals of the world.  And those of us who practice meditation regularly, we have all been on that side of the fence at one point, too.  Many of us have thought it was too new-agey or down right flaky, that is, until we tried it. Meditation can be simply sitting in a quiet room, concentrating on your breath slowly in and out, for no longer than a minute.  Yes, even one minute can bring great benefits to your life.  Consider the wonderful benefits below, then contemplate at least one minute of time just for yourself today.  After all, you’ll never know until you try..so dig right into the concept of taking a minute...

I can’t help but live a miserable life if all I am doing is thinking negatively . Negativity robbed me of my ability to transform, grow, succeed, have faith, love, live and to feel each moment. Getting it all back was difficult. But it started with wanting it. Then, to desire for it.  Practice it. Adapt to it. And then live by it. Start with feeling again. Meditate on how to feel. Meditate on how it would feel to feel again. To feel alive. To feel thirsty and hungry for success, balance and completeness. To feel happy when you wake up. To feel content with your life. To love your job, to love others and to love the life you live. Wake up… not just for your job. But to wake up to your life and to live your life. To love your life. To feel this incredible energy around you. An energy that thrives off you and others around you. Feel it.   Start with wanting it. Then practice it. Live it. Every day.

 From my personal collection of photos: Ajanta Ellora Caves in Aurangabad, India I had the time of my life in India!  It was well needed.  I can also say that it was my personal version of Eat Pray Love. I feel relaxed, rejuvenated, energized and balanced. It was the perfect ending to the many chapters I put behind me and an ideal awakening to what I feel will be some of the most amazing years of my life. While sitting here, I find myself struggling to find words to describe this incredible emotional and spiritual journey. All I can say is…India is the place to go if you’re looking for yourself. I say this with confidence because I’ve found myself, complete and spiritually intact. Not just the Buddha in me, but also the Buddha around me!   Note: If you're planning an Eat Pray Love excursion of your own and not sure how to go about it. Feel free to msg me and I'll get you in touch with my Itinerary Guru!
