Journey of my Knowing

The gentle hush before the world fully awakens holds a unique energy, a stillness that offers fertile ground for inner growth. For centuries, spiritual traditions across the globe have recognized the profound benefits of engaging in practices like mantra, meditation, or prayer during these precious early morning hours. There's a magic in the dawn, a sense of possibility and renewal that permeates the atmosphere. By consciously choosing to rise before the hustle and bustle begins, you gift yourself a sanctuary of peace and an opportunity to set a powerful intention for the day ahead. Why the Early Morning Holds Special Significance:  * The Quietude of Brahma Muhurta: Often referred to as the "Ambrosial Hours" (typically about 1.5 hours before sunrise), this time is believed to be charged with a particularly pure and potent energy. The mind is naturally calmer after sleep, less cluttered with the impressions of the previous day.  * A Fresh Start for the Mind: Just as the ph...

This year has been a tapestry woven with threads of spirituality, creativity, and personal growth. From exploring the frontiers of artificial intelligence to deepening my connection with the divine, I've embarked on a journey of self-discovery that has transformed me in profound ways. As I reflect on the past year, I'm filled with immense gratitude for the lessons learned, the blessings received, and the love that has surrounded me. "The only journey is the journey within." - Rainer Maria Rilke This quote truly captures the essence of my 2025. It's been a year of delving deep, of exploring the landscapes of my soul and uncovering hidden strengths and aspirations. One of the most exciting adventures has been my foray into the world of AI. It's fascinating how technology can intersect with creativity, and I even enlisted the help of AI in bringing my two books to life! "The Stillness Within" and "Mindfulness Teen" are now out in the world,...

Overcoming Loss and Embracing a New Beginning with Mindfulness Sonu and Raju's love story was a beautiful tapestry of shared joy and intimacy. But tragedy struck, and Raju's sudden passing left Sonu shattered, trapped in a cycle of grief and memories. Two years later, as her family planned her wedding, Sonu found herself on the precipice of a new life, but her heart remained tethered to the past. The emotional weight of moving forward felt insurmountable. Seeking solace, she turned to a mindfulness coach. Through mindfulness practices, she learned to navigate her trauma and depression. Initially, autopilot thoughts linked to Raju surfaced with her new partner, a common experience when processing grief. Mindfulness offered Sonu a way to manage these intrusive thoughts. She cultivated present-moment awareness, acknowledging thoughts without judgment or resistance, gently allowing them to pass. Through this compassionate approach, Sonu gradually untangled herself from the autopilo...

  The alarm hadn't even chimed when I found myself stirring. The remnants of a deep, dreamless sleep still clung to me, but a gentle anticipation tugged me awake. It was one of those mornings where everything felt aligned – the culmination of a restful night and the promise of a new day. Stepping outside into the pre-dawn hush, I inhaled the crisp air, a refreshing contrast to the warmth of my sheets. Each breath felt like a gift, a revitalizing gulp of nature's own elixir. As I walked, the world around me slowly awakened.  Birdsong filled the air, a harmonious chorus that swelled with each passing minute. Dewdrops sparkled on the leaves like tiny jewels, and the soft earthy scent of damp soil filled my nostrils. The path was known, yet new. The rustling leaves seemed to whisper secrets, and the sunlight filtering through the trees painted intricate patterns on the ground. I was fully immersed in the symphony of the senses, my mind blissfully empty of worries or plans. Lost in...

Happy weekend, everyone! While some of you are enjoying nature walks and weekend getaways, I woke up with a pondering thought: Are we individual beings or a collective one? This question struck me as I sat down at my laptop. It's a simple tool, yet owning it reflects a vast network of collective effort. Let's take a journey to understand the unseen chain behind this ordinary laptop. Earning the Means: To purchase this laptop, I needed money. This money came from my work, where countless dedicated individuals – my colleagues – contribute their skills daily. Their efforts are a vital link in the chain. Reaching the Consumer: The journey doesn't stop there. Walking into a showroom, I was greeted by a pleasant ambience, strategic product placement, and helpful salespeople. These elements, orchestrated by marketing and sales teams, ensured a smooth buying experience. Yet again, a collective effort. The Mastermind Behind the Machine: Before reaching the showroom, the laptop went ...
