In this episode we will explore how to cultivate a deep inner silence through the method of introspection and loving redirection of thoughts and feelings from external circumstances to our innate benevolent nature.
We often worry and say, because we love or we care. But we all know that worrying doesn’t really bring the results that we like or prefer. It’s true that worry often consumes our energy and doesn’t necessarily lead to positive outcomes. Shifting from worry to trust and faith is powerful. Trusting in the inherent goodness of others and ourselves can indeed bring peace and clarity.
In this episode we explore how shifting our focus from mastering the outer world to mastering our inner world by stabilizing in the awareness of the eternal self naturally brings about a benevolent, solution-oriented attitude towards life.
Embracing our spiritual identity can profoundly alter our engagement with the world, distinguishing between what nourishes our deeper peace and what merely distracts. In a gentle exploration of our non-physical essence, the speaker guides listeners through the concept of the soul as the seat of our true existence, beyond the confines of our physical form. This episode invites you into a space of introspection and spiritual awareness, where the transient pleasures of life are weighed against t...
In this episode we will explore how the art of shifting one’s focus or attention from that which is external to that which is within, determines the quality of life experienced. A life lived from the inside out allows for the innate beauty of the eternal self, the soul, to flow naturally into every aspect of the drama of life.
Our ego manifests itself in some interesting ways. Ways like always looking for justification, always pointing fingers outward. It's always somebody else’s fault or to be blamed. And if I can't point finger to anyone, I'm looking for justification in myself. We have forgotten that the ego is not who we are. The ego is something that I have created myself, but it's not who I am. Join us in this short meditation to experience that who I am is a being of love, ...
In this meditation we explore how to train the mind to let go of shallow, surface level “breathing” or thinking by contemplating thoughts about the eternal self, a being of peace. From this space of deep inner peace, the mind naturally creates thoughts that are few in number, deep, and restorative for the optimal health of the entire being.
'Life is like a game'- Many of us might be familiar with this phrase. In this episode, we will explore a different perspective.I am playing the game not in order to enjoy, but I am playing the game and I am enjoying the game. The act of playing is the act of joy and not necessarily in order to attain joy. This is the aspect that is worthwhile to reflect on in terms of how we live our lives.
Come explore how using the power to withdraw from waste thinking restores energy that can be used to create positive and noble thoughts. Such elevated thinking will not only improve the quality of your own life but will also contribute positively to the creation of a more harmonious world.
In this meditation we explore how realigning one’s perspective to that of the Divine, to eternal truth, restores the original nature of the mind and the natural qualities of the soul. From this space, the soul can play the various roles of life infused with its innate qualities of goodness and experience the highest quality of life.
When we think of life as a game, then we have to also consider the various players in the game, including ourselves. We could be the spectator sometimes, or we could be an active player in the game sometimes. Life offers us the opportunity to consider both. In this meditation, let us spend some time reflecting on some of the areas of our life where I need to be the spectator. And what does that mean? And when I need to be the number one player. And what does that mean?
In Spirituality, there is a benefit of being clueless about the things that really aren't relevant and have nothing to do with my journey, but being very aware of secrets that will illuminate my path to my objective. It helps to support lesser but deeper thinking, which is very essential for moving towards my destination, whether it's self-respect or inner peace or using and managing my inner capacities well.
In physical fasting, we reduce or limit the food intake for a certain period of time to give the body enough space and time to recover or heal. Similarly, the practice of going into silence is a very fruitful and beneficial practice for the mind. The thoughts that emerge from that inner silence are then very empowering, uplifting and creative.
Intellect is our discerning power, our analyzing power, our reasoning power and our wisdom. In Gymnastics, you use/exert your body and stretch it beyond certain limits or beyond certain comfort zone. Similarly, in Spiritual Gymnastics, you stretch your intellect to widen your horizon, broaden your perspective and to see the whole picture instead of the parts.
True love for the self is to have the aim to live in alignment with one’s innate nature of love, peace and joy and to have compassion, understanding and forgiveness for any mistakes made on the journey. To draw power and courage to hold myself in love and truth, I invite the companionship of the source, the Ocean of love, the Divine.
In this meditation we explore how setting your inner posture in the experience of your intrinsic value as a spiritual being of peace, love and harmony serves as the foundation for cultivating a healthy attitude towards perceived “mistakes”. From this space of inner self-respect one has the power and clarity to be able to use every experience in life, even “mistakes”, as gifts to grow into their highest potential.
Come explore and experience the secret of switching off from the visible to connect to the invisible true self and to the Divine.
In this meditation we will explore how being in the awareness of the true self as a spiritual being of benevolence invites the best response from the external world and the highest quality of life.
In this meditation we explore how knowing the true self as a benevolent being of love, peace and happiness naturally allows us to see the subtle nature of others in the same light. Each moment that we choose to come into thought, words and actions from this highest space of awareness, our inner “greatness” is nurtured and we become instruments of God.
On a spiritual journey of self transformation, we continuously aim to “close the gap” between where we currently are and who we are destined to be - our highest potential. In this meditation we travel deep within the self to a safe, sacred, transformational space of a pure silence that re-emerges our true eternal nature of deep peace and calm. The more time we spend in this space, the closer we get in the return to the true highest self.
