SAAMAKSHI MEDIUM

Let’s be honest—whenever we do something, there’s almost always an expectation attached. Even when we do something nice, somewhere in the back of our minds, we’re thinking, ‘How does this benefit me?’ Maybe it’s wanting better attention from a partner, more love, a little extra appreciation. Or at work, it could be a better position, a raise, or just wanting to be seen. Everything becomes a transaction, a silent tally of effort versus reward. But what if the whole point wasn’t about getting something back? What if the act itself was the purpose, and the outcome was already taken care of? That sounds absurd, right? Like, what’s the point of working hard if you don’t know what you’re getting? But that’s exactly the paradox. The less you obsess over the result, the more things flow in ways you never imagined. There’s an old story in the Vedas about a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna. Arjuna was stuck—afraid to take action because he didn’t want to face the consequences. He was tang...

We often talk about boundaries—how much to give, how to protect ourselves from being taken for granted. But what if, instead of shielding ourselves, we trusted love a little more? What if we allowed it to be imperfect, unguarded, and fully felt? We've been conditioned to believe that too much love makes us weak, vulnerable, easy to hurt. But maybe it’s the opposite. Maybe withholding love is what truly weakens us. When was the last time you loved someone without hesitation? Without wondering if they felt the same? Without holding back a piece of yourself, just in case? What if love was never about safety, but about surrender? What if it wasn’t about ensuring someone stays, but trusting that even if they don’t, you are still whole? Love is not meant to complete us—it is meant to remind us that we were never incomplete to begin with. It is an energy, a force that moves through us, shapes us, sometimes even breaks us, so we can grow into something truer. And yet, we spend so much time...

Ever feel like life has become a series of checkboxes, a list of tasks that never truly  mean  anything? What if I told you that spirituality isn’t about stillness—it’s about  finding stillness in motion ? It’s not about escaping life’s flow, but about  riding it , fully present, fully alive. The secret? You figure things out  only  when you decide you will. The moment you say,  I don’t know how , or insist there’s only  one  way to do something, you lock yourself in. You stop creating. You stop expanding. And before you know it, life becomes a dull loop of repetition. But look around—there are at least 500 ways to put dish soap on a sponge. If something so basic holds endless possibilities, imagine the infinite ways to approach work, love, or problem-solving. The idea that there's only  one  right way? That’s the biggest illusion of all. That’s  slavery to tools . The Illusion of Process We’ve been trained to follow. To adhere...

Once, a guy I dated asked me, "Why are you so loving? For you, it’s like your partner is the best, without fault." And I said to him, almost without thinking, "Isn’t that how it’s supposed to be?" Love, to me, has always felt like the most natural thing in the world, an offering, a surrender, a way of seeing people as they truly are. But in that moment, I realised something profound: genuine love is rare, not because people don’t want it, but because they’ve forgotten how to give and receive it fully. That realization stayed with me. I began to see how many people carry wounds from childhood, from relationships, from the world itself, wounds that make them cautious, skeptical, guarded. Not everyone grows up in a home where love is expressed freely, where warmth is a given. Some have never known what it means to be held without reason, to be accepted without conditions. And so, they hesitate, they measure, they hold back, afraid to give because they have learned that...

I get a toffee for my daughter, and for her, it’s the most magical surprise. Her eyes light up, she giggles, and wraps her tiny arms around me in a hug that speaks volumes. There is wonder in the way she finds her missing eraser and laughs as if it were a grand adventure. She holds a tiny vegetable bug fearlessly, letting it walk on her finger, while I take a step back.  Before leaving for school, she bends down to give the plants a goodbye kiss, and when a tiny bud appears, she celebrates as if she had whispered life into existence. I see her chatting with our beta fish, asking if he feels lonely and if he wants to play. She climbs up the window, eyes shining, peering at the pigeon eggs, excitedly narrating their journey from shell to sky. She finds a simple rock on the sidewalk and proclaims it the most unique treasure she's ever seen. Children are already in the dance of life, twirling, skipping, and embracing the beauty of the ordinary. Their hearts beat in rhythm with the univ...

We say we want the truth, but do we? When we ask someone to tell us the truth, we are only hearing their version—what they’ve seen, how they’ve felt, the way they’ve processed reality through their own mind. And yet, we argue over it, as if truth were something solid, something universal. But it’s not. It never has been. The Illusion of Reality Think about a conversation—any conversation. Two people sit across from each other, talking, listening, but are they really hearing the same thing? No two people see the world the same way. One sees chaos where the other sees opportunity. One hears criticism where another hears care. Every exchange is a reflection of the speaker’s mind, their experiences, their past. So are we ever really connecting? Or are we just syncing up with someone’s personal brand of imagination? We don’t find people we understand—we find people whose illusions match ours. Relationships, friendships, even fleeting connections happen not because we’ve discovered some gran...

Today, I did something brave. A friend’s behavior made me uncomfortable. It wasn’t something dramatic—just one of those moments that doesn’t sit right, but you can’t quite put your finger on why. I tried to push it to the back of my mind, but it kept resurfacing, dragging along a mess of weird thoughts and uneasy feelings. I did all the "right" things—meditated, cleansed my energy, tried to let it go. But nope, it kept nudging at me like an untied shoelace you can’t ignore. I could have ranted to my husband or vented to another friend. Easy choice, right? Just let it all out, get some validation, and feel momentarily better. But deep down, I knew that would only fan the fire. So instead, I did something different. I picked up the phone and called my friend. I told her, “Hey, something doesn’t feel right about what happened. I don’t know if I’m overthinking it, and maybe I’m being silly, but I’d rather talk to you directly than sit with this feeling.” And just like that, somet...

As we grow up, we learn independence. We learn to overcome emotions, to drill strength and vitality into our system. We are taught to shut off any thought or feeling that drives volatile emotions or expectations because we must get on with life, work, and fulfill our goals. In doing so, we often lose the ability to notice the beauty of existence itself—the way a tiny bird chirps at the window, the fleeting bloom of a flower, or the radiant smile of a child when given a goodbye hug before work. We have consumed our minds with planning, scheduling, and to-do lists. Our bodies have adapted to the notion that if we are not constantly doing something deemed "productive," then we are wasting time. Productivity, a term we have redefined to mean only external results, has become a relentless corporate world in our heads. When tension rises, we long to halt everything, to take a break, to calm our minds. Yet, even when we find that rare moment to pause—perhaps by falling into our part...

Have you ever craved love so deeply that it ached inside you? Or longed for appreciation, hoping someone would finally see you for all that you are? We chase these things, reaching out with open hands, waiting for them to fall into our palms like gifts from the universe. But life doesn’t work that way. What we desire, we must first become. If you want love, give love. If you wish to be appreciated, shower appreciation onto others. If you want to be cared for, nurture someone with your heart wide open—not just in grand gestures, but in the small, quiet ways that truly matter. If you want to be trusted, be a steady presence. If you want romance, embody warmth, softness, and kindness. Life is not a list of transactions. It’s a rhythm, an energy, a cycle that loops back to you. The more you give, the more you create a world that reflects that same energy. You are not waiting for something outside of you; you are the starting point. Noticing the Little Things We get lost in the chase, don’t...

Ever had one of those days where you wake up, stare at the ceiling, and think, "Nope, not today"? Not sad, not particularly angry, not even frustrated. Just a whole lot of meh. Like someone pressed pause on your enthusiasm but forgot to tell the rest of the world. And dang, does that get frustrating. Especially when the internet keeps screaming at you to be positive, hustle harder, and manifest your dream life. But what if your body is just not on board today? What if, despite your brain’s motivational speeches, your cells are staging a silent protest? Your Body Has a Mind of Its Own Here’s the thing. Mindfulness isn’t about forcing yourself to be positive or productive all the time. It’s not about bulldozing your way through exhaustion with affirmations and caffeine. It’s about listening, really listening, to what your body is telling you. We love to think that our brains run the show. That if we think it, we can do it. That motivation is a mental game. But your body has its...

Have you ever felt frustrated in your relationships? Whether with your partner, parents, friends, or colleagues, do you sometimes feel like people don’t meet your hopes or understand you the way you want them to? These feelings can lead to disappointment and distance. But what if the key to happiness in relationships wasn’t about changing others—but simply accepting them? Everyone is Doing Their Best It’s easy to get caught up in how we wish people would behave. But the truth is,  everyone is doing the best they can with what they know. A friend who doesn’t check in as often as you’d like might be struggling with their own challenges. A parent who seems overly critical may simply be showing love in the way they understand. A partner who finds it hard to express emotions may never have learned how. People aren’t withholding love or care from you on purpose—they are operating from their own experiences, habits, and personal growth. See People As They Are Instead of focusing on what s...

  "The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are." – Joseph Campbell We live in a world where everything seems defined for us—our roles, our goals, even our identities. Society loves to box us in, telling us who we should be, what we should strive for, and how to measure success. These definitions can feel like safety nets, but in truth, they’re often invisible chains. What if I told you that the real magic, the kind that creates life-changing manifestations, begins when you stop defining everything? Here’s the thing: all the knowledge we have today—whether it’s spiritual, intellectual, or practical—comes from those who walked the path before us. Their wisdom can guide us, but it’s not a roadmap we’re meant to follow to the letter. Why? Because it wasn’t made for  you . It lacks your essence, your unique way of seeing and experiencing the world. And that’s the beauty of life: nothing in this world is worth experiencing unless it’s filtered through the lens of your true sel...

Goals, dreams, plans—what if I told you they’re holding you back? Yes, you heard me right. Forget the manifestation charts, the vision boards, the detailed life plans. Chuck them all out the window and take a deep breath. Because here’s the thing: when you’re chasing goals, you’re not free. Let me share a moment from my own life. A few years ago, I was consumed by ambition—deadlines, to-do lists, personal milestones. I thought I was doing everything right. But the harder I worked toward my goals, the more anxious and unfulfilled I felt. Even when I achieved something, it didn’t feel enough. I’d immediately set a bigger, shinier goal. Sound familiar? Think about it: What is your definition of a “good life”? For some, it’s owning a cozy home. For others, it’s traveling the world, driving a luxury car, or earning a six-figure salary. And while there’s nothing wrong with these aspirations, the problem lies in how they control us. Every time you achieve a goal, a bigger one takes its place....

Magnets are fascinating, aren’t they? Their pull is undeniable, their energy invisible yet powerful. Magnets attract not just because of their structure but because of their inherent alignment. Flip them the wrong way, and they repel just as fiercely. This simple, elegant law of physics mirrors a profound truth about life and relationships: We attract and repel based on who we are and the energy we emit. Think of the people you’re naturally drawn to—those who seem to light up a room just by being themselves. These magnetic personalities aren’t trying to impress anyone. They’re not people-pleasers or chameleons bending to fit the crowd. Instead, their aura is calm, genuine, and full of self-assurance. Being in their presence feels uplifting, inspiring even, because they exude an energy that says, “I know who I am, and I’m at peace with it.” Such people are magnets for success—not just in relationships but in every aspect of life. Their positivity and authenticity create a ripple effect....
