The Calming Breaths


Isn't everything we do in life is to give and take something? For instance, 'we breathe in and we breathe out' we inhale and we exhale.

 

There are intake of breaths and release of breaths. A two-sided-process. We cannot just inhale and do not exhale or just exhale and do not inhale (try-it-out-102-on-its-way) There is a give-and-take-relationship. And If this give-and-take relationship breaks our heart gets break. Literally it breaks (We-die) So to maintain this beautiful life-saving-relationship it is important that we relevantly take and give (inhale-and-exhale) But here comes a literal 'breath-taking' part - we only seem to take or inhale. We are taking or inhaling the negativity in the form of thoughts. We are thinking about all the bad events, people, experiences of past. There is no place for giving or exhaling. It is important that we maintain an equilibrium of this give-and-take relationship (remember-it-is-a-two-sided-process) If we are only inhaling and not exhaling then... (ambulance-bleeps-and-sirens) So now here comes the concern where should we exhale or give all this negativity. As Master says himself, 'aap aapna bhootkal mujhe samarpit kardo, mein tumhe ujwal bhavishya dunga' So yes there is a place to give or exhale all this negativity.

 

Meditation is that warmth, comfort place filled with empathy where there is a yes-I-am-there-for-you kind of a person listening to us. A place where we can sit back, calm ourselves and exhale everything. It is important that we take a break now from 'taking' and start 'giving'. So let's meditate and enjoy ourselves by 'giving'. And here comes a new 'breath-giving' adjective - an adjective which means only calming down and naturally breaths are inhaled and relaxed breaths are exhaled intuitively (calm-sighs-exhaling)

The Shushing Feet

Have you wondered what's the most frightened thing we are scared of? Fear of heights, fear of being alone, fear of death and many other fears (fear-of-lizards-whoa-an-agitated-loud-scream) and the list goes on and on.   According to Google, fear is 'the feeling that you have when something dangerous, painful or frightening might happen.' Amongst of these above-mentioned-fears there's another fearful-heart-beat-accelerating-and-sweaty-hands kind of anxiety of fear which we most of us have. This dear and unnerving fear is 'public speaking.' Boo! It is said that the fear of public speaking is more than the fear of death! (whoa-I-know-right) There can be varied reasons amongst different people for this fear. For example, one might think what others would think of himself or herself (others-approval-and-validation-barrier) Would I be able to speak in front of hundreds of people? (self-doubting-barrier) And many other barrier lists which goes on and ...

The Kissing Sun

Image
Have we ever tried gazing up at the sky for some time? The very beautiful sky which is there in our phone's gallery and also in our 'streaks' (puts-snapchats-90s-aesthetic-effect)   This beautiful enormous piece of creation by the Universe cannot be adored in a 6-inch Optic-Amoled display. You know they say 'sky is the limit'. Here, the 'cell phone has the limit'. No matter how beautifully 'sun kissed-photo' we take in our cell phones the joy in sitting in our balcony watching the orangish-red-fusion-of-the-sky for some time is incomparable (plays-dusk-till-dawn-by-Zayn) Here comes the stunning part - when we gaze at the sky or any other 'everlasting thing' we are in a state of thoughtlessness. (try-it-out) As the Master says himself, 'aakash ki taraf dekho aur fir vichaar karo, tum dekhoge vichaar hi nahi aarhe'. Now (experiential-learning-is-the-process-of-learning-from-experiences) we should definitely try this! Let...

The Underrated Happiness

Image
Isn't everything we do in our lives is to get happiness? Happiness that can stay with us every moment. We are literally chasing for happiness every day or say every moment of our lives.   Here, I mean about that everlasting, endless and eternal happiness . Happiness which is permanent and not temporary. For example, just imagine you ate a delicious-mouth-watering-toothsome-cookie (just imagine) and then after eating that delicious cookie, you felt like you're at the top of the world. Now, unfortunately this feeling resisted only for few minutes or maybe few seconds. (depending-upon-your-biting-and-chewing-skills) After few hours, you're back with your my-life-sucks-mode. Why is that so? Exactly, you just experienced a temporary happiness which lasted for some time. Well, you may ask what is permanent happiness and how to experience it? Here we go, Permanent happiness (or-say-underrated-happiness) is the happiness which comes from selflessness. It is an in...
