Deeper Knowing of the "I"

In this article, we are going to explore our deeper identity and understand it from a holistic perspective. 

It is such a dilemma, that we try to gain awareness and knowledge about the whole world, but when it comes to our own selves we somehow lack connectivity with our deeper existence and have a shallow awareness of our own being. So friends, let us take out some time and meet our own self…

Every human knows and recognizes his identity as his name and physical form. He also may identify with his family background, his culture, his country, his professional qualifications, his personality strengths, and his weaknesses. For most of us, this covers the definition of I. But let us take a pause, and reflect, is this only I? When we read religious books or spiritual texts, we come to know that there is something more to our identity these identifications, the awareness of which could be leading to a greater inner fulfillment.



Beautiful Ingredients
We call ourselves Human Being which is human and being combined. Human indicates our physical existence, which is representative of our body and bodily identifications. The Being, on the other hand, indicates the spiritual aspect of our existence. It represents something beyond the physical of a higher dimension. It can be called Soul, Energy, Light, God particle, Prana, etc. in spiritual terminology.

In simple words, it is the energetic subtle part of our existence. So, we have both parts to our existence, the visible and the invisible. The body is the tangible existence and the Soul is the non-tangible existence. The moment we become aware of the subtle part of our identity, we gain access to the beautiful ingredients of which our being is made up of.

But, because of our lack of connection and awareness of it, we have been searching for it outside and hence we can see that even after acquiring all material possessions, somehow within we are not able to feel fully at peace. Also, we ignore to sustain the being part, as our time and energy get fully consumed in nurturing the physical portion only. This leaves us in a state of an inner lack. 

Connecting 
Connecting with our inner being from time to time, giving it a look, nourishing it with our attention and love, can help us experience a greater and profound sense of peace in our life. 

Some tips to connect with our being:

# Sit straight for some time, gently close your eyes and Relax…
#Be aware of your breathing….
#Give yourself a thought taking your awareness towards your brow, without trying to focus too hard… "I am a being of peace and light…"

Try to feel this calming energy within your body and absorb into it... 
Feeling peaceful and light...

Sit in this awareness for 5 minutes.
We can integrate this practice into our daily life. One small step can bring a great change.

Hoping all our readers begin with this small step and wishing loads of peace and love in the lives of all our brothers and sisters.

Meditation commentary

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. You can play a soft instrumental music in the background and slowly read these words, trying to feel them deeply. Begin by sitting in a comfortable posture, and allowing your eyes to close. Put your hands on the lap and let your shoulders drop. Keep your back straight. Now, begin by taking a few slow, long, deep breaths. Breathe in fully, and breathe out fully through your nose. 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: A trait to be understood and reflected upon

A “people pleaser” means a person who feels a strong need to please others, even at their own cost. They may feel that their wants and needs are unimportant, so they alter their personalities in order to make others happy. Often, we engage in people pleasing unconsciously or witness people around us doing that, but we often fail to comprehend the underlying causes of this tendency. Let’s analyze and understand the reasons behind it, and give it some contemplation. Some common factors behind it are:     • Low self- esteem     • A childhood trauma     • Avoidance of conflict      • Low self esteem:  People who have low self-esteem are dependent on the external validation, and approval of others to feel confident. They feel good, when others shower them with compliments. They unconsciously base their esteem on outer appreciation, and seek reinforcement of value from others. They also feel they are less worthy and deserve less in comparison ...
