As the Self so the World appears

Once upon a time, there lived a family on the top of hills. There was, in that family, parents and a young boy and girl. The kids used to go to the tip of the mountains and play and have fun. One day, the boy went towards the tip and shouted, "I hate you!!"

This voice echoed, came back, and as he hears the same voice, "I hate you!!"  he got sacred and felt "oh my gosh! Where is this voice coming from?"

"…I hate you …"

He ran back to his mom. He held her tightly and said, "Mummy, the mountain is shouting I Hate you!!" His mother understood the reason and asked him what he said to the mountains. The boy said that he shouted, "I hate you…"

Then the mother made him understand that a phenomenon called echo happens, whereby whatever we send, hits us back and echoes… So if he said "I hate you" then this voice shall only return back. She then told him to go shout "I love you!!"

So, the boy with his sister went out and started to shout "I love you..."

This voice repeated and they could hear "I love you, I love you!!..."

So beautiful! Now, they realized that whatever we send outside, we get that back only.

Moral: We get back what we give, whatever seeds we sow, the same fruit we get back. So, we should sow love to receive love back.

Hello friends, Sharing a simple guided commentary for moving inwards into a meditative state. Let’s pause and take out some time for this quiet, inward journey.

Allow your breath to settle into its own rhythm. Pay close attention to your breathing cycle. Notice each breath, as it enters through your nostrils, travels down your lungs, and makes your belly expand. Notice your breath flowing outside through your nostrils, contracting your belly inwards. Observe and accept your experience in this moment without judgement. Now, we shall do a gradual relaxation of our body muscles. Bring your awareness to your body. ...

People pleasing – Solutions to amend this tendency

In this article, we shall understand and reflect on the possible ways to break the pattern of people pleasing. In our last post , we learned about the causes of this tendency. People pleasing is a form of self-abandonment, whereby we lose our identity in order to win the approval of others or to make them happy. We must comprehend the distinction between pleasing people and being kind. Kindness is a virtue that denotes strength, but people pleasing is a weakness that arises from fear, anxiety, and low-esteem. There is a significant difference between a nice guy and an authentic and kind individual. Thus, there is a dire need to delve deep into the root cause of this trait. Let’s examine some approaches to decondition ourselves from this pattern. “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt     • Developing high self-esteem: We need to develop a high level of self- esteem and self-confidence.
