A moment of Self-love

In the fast paced world where we are busier than the bee, let’s take a pause and connect with ourselves. Let us fill our heart with love for our own self. We often seek comfort and love from outside. Our seeking may or may not be fulfilled. So let’s give our self a hug, a comforting moment of tenderness. A moment of inner comfort can go a long way in the journey of inner healing. We can express self-love in many different ways:

    • Treat yourself with your favorite food.

    • Listen to your preferred music.

    • Take a warm shower with essential oils.

    • Thank yourself for coming so far in life.

    • Pause, reflect and love yourself!


Wish my dear readers a moment of love and comfort.

 Feel the love within your heart.

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.
