Transcend action addiction

As originally published in India’s premiere spiritual magazine ‘Life Positive’ (May 2016 Issue)

Are you a jack in the box, who jumps up to act at the drop of a hat? Compulsive action may not be the virtue it is considered to be.

In spirituality, we have a term, karma, and by extension we have another term – karma bandhana. Mostly, we interpret karma to mean a deed, a deed that is bound to the law of cause and effect. Bandhana means bondage. So karma bandhana implies being bound to the consequences of one’s deeds, negative as well as positive.

However, another meaning of karma is to act. In this context karma bandhana would imply bondage to action. Keep Reading

Why You Should Have A Whole-Life Coach

I have come across more than a thousand students in my vocation as a spiritual teacher. Few of them are happy people, most are unhappy. Ask them the source of their unhappiness and many, if not all, will tell you the root cause is issues with relationships.

If you ask them, what does this lead to? Most will tell you that the health is affected. If you ask them what has caused the trouble in relationships, they will tell you that besides the gap in their individual dispositions, one partner getting over-involved in their professional life, often foments trouble for the full family. The idea to see here is how relationships, health and professional life are all inter-connected. Keep Reading

Why attend a training programme?

Training

It’s unfortunate that people believe that their education is complete once they get a degree. Come to think of it, the current education system isn’t designed to give us much in the areas of spirit, systems and skills.

Spiritual education i.e. High-Quality Life Education has always been a rarity in the educational system. But even the systems and the skill training it offers is often outdated. All the current education gives is a degree that acts like a passport to work, to run around helter-skelter and somehow make money, big or small.

Two ways to Handle those Morning Blues

Mornings can be dirty times because sleep is a double-edged sword. While on one hand, it rests your mind and your limbs, on the other hand it leaves you with lethargy, lack of freshness, anxiety, a certain touchiness and sensitivity to any type of triggers. Few or all of above.

SLEEP & PURIFICATION

When our conscious minds rest, our unconscious takes over. It gets free reins when we are in slumber. The unconscious is full of metaphorical demons, or technically speaking – suppressed energies. While sleeping, a certain installment of these surfaced energies is downloaded onto our aura or our electro magnetic field. Our aura is now full of negative ions from these surfaced energy concentrations. Keep Reading

Spirituality is not Self-Improvement

self-improvement

Of late, there is a rush of self-improvement movements calling themselves as spiritual movements. These movements focus on values like Non-violence, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Focus, Contentment, Detachment, Self-restraint, Silence, Love etc calling them as spiritual values. I myself teach most of them believing that I am teaching hardcore spirituality. But I have lately been wondering if it’s true.

To me, a spiritual value is something that by itself can cause self-realization or enlightenment without the assistance of any other value. Keep Reading
