Life often feels like a series of obstacles, prompting us to change people, circumstances, or even ourselves. But what if the key to peace lies not in change, but in shifting how we see things? When we focus on perspective rather than change, we eliminate resistance and open ourselves to acceptance and growth. The Emotional Drama of Change When faced with challenges, our instinct is often to resist or fix them. We might: Get angry at what’s happening. Try to convince others—or ourselves—why change is necessary. Feel guilty when things don’t improve. Start doubting our worth or decisions. This cycle leaves us feeling stuck, helpless, and overwhelmed. The harder we try to force change, the more resistance we encounter. The truth is, when you attempt to change something outside of yourself, resistance creeps in. This resistance stems from a lack of acceptance, and that’s where the struggle begins. But what if you focused on changing your perspective instead? What if you shifted the way yo...

Hold on! Before you roll your eyes and assume this is about some reckless, rebellious, or selfish “give a F” attitude, let me set the record straight. What I’m talking about is entirely different—and it might just be your new favourite life mantra. You see, most spiritual gurus preach looking inward and reflecting on what triggers us. Sure, self-awareness is essential, but let’s flip the script for a moment. What if the real key to happiness is  not  giving that much attention to every little word, action, or situation that comes your way? The Art of Caring Less Think about it: the more you analyze how someone treats you or nitpick what they said, the more tangled up you get. It’s exhausting! Instead, how about this: care less. No, I’m not suggesting you be indifferent or rude. Quite the opposite! Inside, you cultivate the power of caring less. Outside, you’re a diplomat, nodding and satisfying others’ egos when necessary. Especially with people who aren’t as introspective or ...

 I’ve met many people who describe themselves as loving, empathetic, and deeply understanding. They carry these qualities proudly, believing them to be the hallmarks of their personality. And yet, these same people often share something else—they feel emotionally drained, hurt, or offended by certain situations or people. If this sounds familiar, there’s a deeper truth here waiting for you: the problem isn’t the outside world. It’s your  triggers . What Are Triggers? Triggers are emotional reactions that light up when something or someone pokes at your unresolved wounds. They’re the moments you feel slighted, angry, or drained, even when you’re trying to stay positive. And no matter how much love or empathy you pour into the world, those triggers don’t go away on their own. Why Do Triggers Matter? Think of your triggers as life’s way of holding up a mirror. They’re not punishments; they’re lessons. Every time you get offended, angry, or overwhelmed, it’s a signal. It’s not abo...

Have you ever found yourself swept away by the chaos of thoughts, the endless pull of past regrets, and future worries? Watching a few profound conversations recently, I felt like I’d uncovered keys to navigating this maze of distractions. Let me share these moments with you, not just as inspiration, but as a gentle guide to help you realign with the now. While watching Krishna Das in an interview, the humility in his words struck me deeply. When asked how he feels singing to a mesmerized audience, he said, “I’m not even aware. I sing to Him.” Think about that for a moment. Here is someone adored by thousands, yet his focus never wavers from the act itself—singing to the Divine. He admitted, “If my attention strays to the crowd or elsewhere, I simply pick it up and bring it back to the singing.” When asked about people experiencing awakenings during his kirtans, he humbly replied, “Oh, do they? Well, I’m not the one making that happen. I just sing to Him.” This wasn’t just humility; it...

  "When you let go of what you are, you become what you might be."  – Lao Tzu The idea of "this is my life, and I choose how to live it" sits delicately at the boundary between self-empowerment and rebellion. It’s a bold assertion of free will, often mistaken as a license for superiority or defiance. But in truth, this choice—when rooted in awareness—becomes the fulcrum that can spread light inward and outward. This tension is particularly visible in young people, caught in the fervor of experiencing everything life has to offer. I, too, once believed that freedom meant indulging every whim, trying everything, and chasing the best of all experiences. But the thirst for freedom, unchecked, can become a trap—a construct that binds the soul rather than liberates it. The declaration, "I will do whatever I want," is powerful, but when it lacks love and understanding, it turns hollow. The key is to ask: are your choices an act of rebellion, or are they acts of c...

Maa Dhumavati, the seventh of the Mahavidyas, embodies the essence of suffering. She arises as smoke, but before the smoke, there is fire—a testament to her nature as a force of courage, fierceness, and strength. She teaches us that the true measure of kindness often lies in the depth of suffering one has endured and transformed. On the path of meditation and manifestation, it’s easy to believe that life should be an endless stream of joy, happiness, and positivity. We may assume that by thinking positively, we can shield ourselves from sorrow, pain, or setbacks, and that our relationships and work will flow effortlessly. Yet, when even the smallest pain or disappointment arises, doubt seeps in:  Am I on the wrong path? Am I not manifesting enough? Did I use the wrong technique or miss something important? This cycle of self-questioning can become all-consuming. We analyze every word, every choice, and every action, trying to pinpoint what went wrong. In our efforts to find solutio...
