#blackouttuesday Share your voice. Because it wou #blackouttuesday Share your voice. Because it would matter a tad bit somewhere to someone far across the world. I read this somewhere some days back, that not taking sides and staying indifferent or neutral also means that we are supporting and empowering the oppressor. And this has stayed with me. I usually have always tried to stay away from news that's distressing, because like a sponge, I absorb every bit of it, and it affects me. But, looking away, isn't something we can really afford to do, whether , it's something that's happening in India or elsewhere. So this is what I have decided to do. Become Aware. Educate. Share Voice. Donate. Whichever is applicable, whatever is possible. And to truly ask a question back to myself, how am I making even an insignificant difference positively to the world I live in.
We live in a hyperconnected world where news trave We live in a hyperconnected world where news travels/spreads faster than the pandemic. And it is good news indeed, that for the first time may be in the past few decades, we are all unanimously, quite inadvertently, thinking and discussing about the present and future of our own existence, that seems quite endangered right now after the curtains were lifted off the pandemic of Covid-19. The whole of Humanity stands united against it. It has taken precedence over the other divisive conflicts that had blinded us with the uncompassionate light of our selfish needs to survive and thrive in our own little worlds, taking refuge in unawareness, because wearing apathy up our sleeves was villainous. If we could turn away from the news, it no longer existed. And that's how we had learnt to live. But sadly enough, we can't afford to live like that any more. There would be news, and so would be it's indirect repurcussions on the more vulnerable minds, besides the direct impact of the virus attacking the bodies of the less immune. So, Is this now a wake up call for all of us, to not just unite, but come together, irrespective of the labels we attach ourselves to, and connect at an elementary level, as the different parts of the same whole - strewn pieces of flesh and blood but one consciousness. We all are one. That's the universal truth. The sooner we align ourselves with the consciousness of the earth, and hence with each other, the better we would live - as a whole and in our complete fullness. . Who doesn't get goosebumps to even imagine a world like that ? Our own changed selves ? But it's hard work. There is a lot of unlearning and rewiring that needs to be done. Of old thoughts, behavior and actions. A new way of life is to be embraced. . A GLOBAl PANDEMIC OF LOVE AND COMPASSION is all we need that would convert the news to something that we don't have to look away from or turn a blind eye to. . Are we ready for that kind of an awakening ? Or would we need more of such occurrences to detach ourselves from the world of form and become one in the world of the formless ? . Are we up for the transformation as yet ? And How ?
We live in strange times. Just a month back, we w We live in strange times. Just a month back, we wouldn't have imagined that, a day would come in our lives, when we would be forced to slow down, stay put, stay home and just be. And when something in an accelerated motion is brought to an abrupt halt, it has jarring effects. While we do see the silver lining and are excited to be with our loved ones, overcompensate for all the time that we couldn't give each other in the past, focus on creativity, binge on Netflix, try new dishes, and be there for each other more than ever. We also grieve for the underprivileged, the suffering and the deceased. We get overwhelmed with barrage of information thrown at us from everywhere. And trying to make too much sense out of what seems like the end of the world in it's most literal sense, We experience sadness, anxiety, nervousness and also fear. We feel different on different days and at times all at once. But after having experienced the initial jolts that have finally put us at ease with the hard truth, we are all now experiencing moments of deep realisations, that are constantly coaxing us to look at life differently, because now we have the time and also the quiet. Isn't this exactly what we always had longed for when we were busy making the ends meet and running the errands ? So while we are all looking at life more closely than ever, and there really isn't any right way to feel during these times, just go ahead make memories - capture these moments as much as you can. Capture these myriad of emotions - everything that you feel today, tomorrow and the days that would follow. Write in a Journal, Photograph or make a Video of your experiences, and your learnings that are laying the foundation of a new life, a new tomorrow. Soon this too shall pass, and it would become history. All that we would be left with, are these realisations and memories. Make more of them. Create and Share. Waiting to hear from you, about you, in these times when all we need is each other. Stay Safe. Stay Home. Stay Well.

In my latest article ( LINK IN BIO ) - " #lifeinti In my latest article ( LINK IN BIO ) - " #lifeintimesofcorona: A Daily Meditation Routine Is All We Need, To Hold Up, Introspect and Heal", I share my thoughts on the importance of building a daily meditation practice routine, to stay afloat during these times of deep distress, to align our individual and collective units of consciousness with the consciousness of Mother Earth and reflect on ways in which each one of us can a make a difference to the world we inhabit. . . I also talk about the 6-phase Guided Meditation in detail that has worked like magic for me and has helped me immensely in forming my Power Habit . . And you ? How are you holding up ? Would love to hear about your experiences. . . @mindvalley
Love knows no labels. Love understands no differen Love knows no labels. Love understands no differences. . Love happens only when we embrace inclusion. . And inclusion happens only when we break down barriers. . On this Valentine Day, the day that symbolizes love, I hope wish and pray for every sentient living creature on this planet to feel and emanate the light of love and compassion in abundance, much more than ever. . May we embrace the diversity and the uniqueness of each of our existence by walking towards each other, filling in every visible gap and invisible space that’s created between us by the crude ideas of speciesism, racism, nationalism, communalism, religious exclusivism, sexism, casteism, classism, and also  Youphobia ( discrimination against oneself - a ridiculous fear of ‘being yourself’ that acts tremendously against self-love). . Our labels and identities have divided us in a way that we have lost our vision of being one with the universe. It has blinded us with the ideas of being superior to other beings, which is detrimental to life and growth itself. . Lets make life comfortable for every being who we are share the universe with and feel the oneness and the connectedness in the most profound and limitless way. . Love and Light to all of you ❤️
