Holistic Experience of Life using Spiritual Tools

Life is a journey and not a destination, we have heard this saying many times. 

We all strive hard to make the most out of this life by engaging ourselves in different kinds of activities whether it is at a professional or personal level.  Most of us consciously or unconsciously do try to put in efforts in making our life better in whichever way we think is the best.

For many of us I believe we can relate to this that even after putting in so much efforts on an external front still we feel there is something lacking inside and a sense of incompleteness within. So here comes the need for using spiritual tools for a holistic experience of life .As the saying goes “Life is not a destination but a journey”. 

Spiritual tools if integrated with our daily life can be a great source of inner rejuvenation and also give us a sense of inner fulfillment. As a table has four legs to make it stable and steady similarly our human life when based on four pillars- Financial, Physical, Emotional and Spiritual, to give us complete 
fulfillment. We are not able to only achieve the external targets but also enjoy the process of getting there!

In my previous articles, I have shared few simple and easy spiritual tools which we can apply and integrate with our life. A small step could be a big leap. There is a mass of people who are awakening to this understanding are have taken simple steps to add spiritual aroma into their lives. Let me summarize those tools for our dear readers once again:

• Practicing Gratitude
• Breathing deeply
• Mindful walking
• Journaling
• Spending 10-15 minutes alone time

A holistic experience of life includes a combined fulfillment of inner and outer experience. External fulfillment does come from sense gratification and the path towards inner fulfillment is by using spiritual tools. A balance of our movement and efforts towards the Outer and the Inner shall probably pave the path for a deeper fulfillment and holistic gratification for us!

Best wishes for our dear readers to enjoy the gift of life to the highest possible potential.
Love and Namaskar to All!

Embracing the transitions in life with faith

“Change is the only thing that is constant in life.” We, as humans, undergo changes in our day-to-day lives. We experience change as a moment of unsettling and transition into something new. The intensity of change could be a major one whereby we undergo structural and systemic change transforming from one phase of life to another. This pushes us out from a static state of existence to a dynamic ever-changing being. We do feel a certain level of discomfort while going through these transitions, but having faith and hope in our hearts does make a great difference.  Let's take a moment to consider the underlying reasons why a change might be uncomfortable. Changes can represent transience and mortality. One significant transition in human existence that we all go through is death. Every change is a small death in itself, whereby the old dies and the new is born. As humans, we have a tendency to cling to life and have attachment to the existing state, I suppose this is one of the root...

Breath: An anchor to the present moment

Breath is the essence and elixir of human life. As long as we breathe, we are alive. Breathing is fundamental to our existence. In today’s fast-paced, busy world, we are often unconscious of our “breath.’’ Our minds tend to be more active in the present age when there are plenty of distractions around us. We all experience our minds racing amidst the memories of events in the past and towards the uncertainties and anxieties of the future. Our breath can play a crucial role in aligning us back to the present moment when we get astray in the spiral of thoughts. In both Buddhist traditions and contemporary meditation, focusing on the breath is recommended as a key technique for gaining mental serenity. When was the last time we took a deep breath and connected to something that was lurking so close? “Breathing mindfully” can be a great stress buster and mood booster. This practice will gradually eliminate mental distractions and make us focused individuals. A small step can bring a great ...
