Intuition is the whisper of the soul

"Intuition is the whisper of the soul", says #JidduKrishnamurti.

To listen to the whisper, you must be still, present & aligned with your #innerbeing. #AbrahamHicks too said, "Your inner being is saying to you: you just need to follow us & we'll guide you around all of this resistance. We'll guide you around it, we'll guide you to what you want around all this resistance."
If you take a moment to reflect on what this #life is all about, you'll realize that our lives have purposes unique to us. Ultimately it is a walk towards liberation and how well you played your part. Clearly we have not come here to be clones of each other but to express our uniqueness. Our #excellence lies in our uniqueness and to embrace that uniqueness in us, we must allow our true selves to be seen, accepted and acknowledged by us. No one will find us, but we must.

The famous Psychoanalyst D W Winnicot says, "It is a joy to be hidden, and disaster not to be found." But the moment we take birth, we fall into the grind of conditioning and slowly deviate from who we are and become a part of the herd. We start wearing the facade and gravitate towards paths that is not a reflection of our true strengths and desires. We reject, disown, deny our true selves which lead to fragmentation within and thus we lose touch with our internal compass. Our internal guidance system is actually how we feel. But we supress our very own guidance system and thus our inability to listen to it.

Few years back, I realized that I never honoured my own guidance system and thus gravitated towards people, paths and tribes that weren't a reflection of who truly I am. Something was always missing depsite of all the success, recognition & acheivement.

I then decided to make my internal guidance system my compass for navigating my way out.There was resistance because I was used to approval receiving, information seeking, validation from the outside. But slowly as I took the tiny step towards deciding based on what my intuition was telling me, I started unravelling a goldmine within and gravitated towards the tribe that was always waiting with arms wide open to receive me.

We are often placed in environments which is exactly the opposite of what we truly desire and intent. Because the facade attracted that and manifested that into our space. Unless and until we choose to embrace ourselves, we can never find our path, our purpose in life.

As you integrate parts within you, as you become aware of the fragmentation within, you realise that the path to liberation is never in changing the outer world but in truly embracing and being in alignment with your inner being. We all are sourced from one Source Energy and share the same #essence. This is a profound #awareness and then how we see everyone changes.
​
This time I decided to stay at an #airbnb for my trip to Mumbai. And there I met the daughter of the legendary #FilmDirector, #BimalRoy, Rinki Roy Bhattacharya who is a celebrity in her own way. She is an acclaimed author, member of censor board & chairperson of Bimal Roy Film Society. Choosing the airbnb was an intuitive decision on my part. Only when I reached the airbnb I got to know what a profound lineage the host has! I was pleasantly surprised and my heart is filled with gratitude for the wondeful time that I spent there, learning more about her journey and about the film world. I felt connected to her & experienced her vulnerable side which made me realize that unless we care for people, we can never know them deeply. I met so many wonderful celebrities during my stay there. Got an invite from the famous Maithli Rao who is a film critic and celebrated writer to be at her book launch. Her new book: The Millennial Woman In Bollywood A New Brand? was launched by the noted actress Vidya Balan & I was a part of it. One of the wonderful moments in my life that I shall cherish forever! I didn't expect that all these was in store for me. Thanks to my #intuition!

​This time I decided to stay a little longer. And that's when I got an opportunity to listen to Dr. Pawan Agrawal, who is Mumbai Dabbawala's authorised speaker, an international motivational speaker and Founder & President of Kamalabai Educational and Charitable Trust, Mumbai. His humility touched me. And what he choses to do: higlight the immense possibility in human beings, inspired me.
Picture
This world is so beautiful only if we choose to see it and elevate ourselves to #bethechange. When I meet such people, I am always inspired and feel joyful. Can't stop quoting the butterfly effect here:
Even a minor shift can have a tremendous effect. Like butterfly's flapping of wings which is capable of altering the path of tornado.

The choice is ours. We can choose to deny our intuition or decide to follow it and contribute towards Universal expansion.

Leaving you with this declaration by the great environmentalist Paul Hawken, “What I see everywhere in the world are ordinary people willing to confront despair, power, and incalculable odds in order to restore some semblance of grace, justice, and beauty to this world.” 

What you choose to see will determine how this world will be. That's the start of everything. And your choice shall determine your strategy & action plan. And that's your #karma. What you put out comes back to you. You are the maker of your life.

Thank you Universe!

Believing in you,

People want to be seen, heard, known & accepted

The spontaneous pen in me decided to pen down my thoughts after listening to the podcast "Voice of a Leader" by Marina Byezhanova, where she hosted Todd D. Palmer. Here's the link to the podcast:
www.linkedin.com/video/live/urn:li:ugcPost:7018984907934683136/ 


Thank you Soumya Sharma for introducing me to this podcast!
As I begin to write, what I realize is that, there's this entire web of #universe that supports us; sometimes with our knowledge & sometimes we are oblivious of this web. We are all part of the big picture. Truly #life happens for us; for us to evolve, expand, heal & contirbute to the universal good.
It was 2019, just before the pandemic kicked off. Thank God! The travel enthusiast in me made my last trip before the lock down, to Costa Rica. I was attending a #retreat which was a part of my #learning #journey as a #coach. I flew miles & miles apart to be amidst people whom I trusted, loved & who let me be seen for who I am. I didn't have to try to fit in there. I was just accepted the way I am. My work with this group, played a big role in shifting me as a person.
In the retreat, for the first time in ages, I let my guard down & broke into tears. A group full of strangers (co-participants), contained by my coaches! Something touched me to the core and it melted away! Something that I held onto for long without knowing it. My coach told me that it is so amazing when we let ourselves be seen. Yeah, I was holding myself back too! That day I felt seen, heard, known and accepted. I didn't have to justify myself, nor prove anything but just feel whatever I was feeling at that moment. And I can't tell you how impactful that experience was!
There are many instances where people fear to speak up, be vulnerable with people you are surrounded with. The fear of being judged is an inherent aspect in us. We beat around the bush and not arrive at the real thing. It takes a non-judgemental space to open up and share. After having experienced this in my own coaching journey, I have enabled that in my clients too. They cry their hearts out without any fear or inhibition. They are just like me who don't shed tears unless it becomes unbearble! We have been conditoned to be strong & never let ourselves feel our emotions. The impact of which is so detrimental to the overall wellbeing of a person!
Research says that highly sensitive people are the ones who are more prone to disowning their true selves and wear a mask to cope with life & their environment. The book, "The Drama of the Gifted Child" by Alice Miller is a must read for people who are gifted, highly sensitive & have used either narcissism / depression as their coping strategy.
www.amazon.in/dp/0465016901/ref=tsm_1_fb_lk

Being seen, heard, known and accepted is all that we desire. Everything boils down to that. Just that our ways are different depending on where we are, what we do and where we are heading to. Time & again, people I speak to, connect with, share the same with me too. We may deny, but even our purposes are entwined with this reality. However, before anyone accepts us, we must muster the courage to accept ourselves. And that acceptance sometimes may be painful.
True acceptance is accepting yourself fully with all your flaws, unwantedness, uncoolness and things that you have disowned, denied & rejected. Once this stage is achieved, we can then work to achieve the next level as Byron Katie puts it across, "God spare me from the desire for love, approval, or appreciation. Amen.” Want to know more about her deep work? Click below:

To all the empath couples

9/9/2022

What you are most good at giving, is also the thing that you need the most for yourself!

If you are an empath, someone good at holding space for others and allowing them to empty their minds in your sacred presence, know that you possess an exceptional skill, a human skill which very often goes unrewarded, unnoticed and thankless in many ways. But thanks to covid, now this is one of the top skills as per reserach & so take a moment to pat your back for you are gifted with something that is unique & precious.

The impact of holding space for someone can only be felt post the person walking out of the door feeling rejuvenated, charged up and ready to take on life.

But how does an empath rejuvenate & recuperate? Who is there for them? In this constantly changing & evolving world where we are usually wired to think of only oneself, how I feel, what's in it for me, how will this collaboration benefit me etc., it is very important for the empath to restore the balance for himself/herself, if he/she wants to keep giving this unique, endangered gift of holding space for others, a space that evokes psychological safety as neuroscientists calls it.
Me and my partner are both empaths! We often, in our personal lives, found ourselves complaining about one thing to each other and that is: "You don't listen and undertsand me!"And we both wondered why & how is that possible from someone known for holding space for others. And after lots of conversations, observations & awareness, we realized that our expectations from each other was to be able to vent out all that we didn't with others. We didn't look at each other as humans but empaths only who would be there for each other just like the way we were for the people around us. So, our conversations were mostly around our need to be heard, seen & understood. And imagine the plight when two empaths after emptying themselves for others, come home with the same expectations of being there for each other without consciously communicating to one another! An unsaid expectation just because you are an empath & haven't set your boundaries!
Picture
There were days when I saw my partner burnt out & totally tired, not having any space to listen to my stories, pain, ranting & vice versa, but here rings the phone & someone known in his circle wants his help, listening and it's urgent! He would still be there and listen and I would feel left out, angry, unheard, unimportant and even detested the very skill that I admire in my partner, the skill of being an empath. That's when the observer in me realized that this has nothing to do with me but there's something that needs our attention as empaths. We both sat down to understand basically what is happening and here are our suggestions to all the empath couples to deepen their relationship with each other and joyfully carry forth this great human skill, holding space for another to feel safe & be vulnerable, be seen, heard & understood without spoiling your own relationship:

  • Accept, understand that you both are empaths and your relationship dynamics need to be handled very differently unlike other relationships. The very gift of being an empath can be a spoiler if you both aren't aware of what an empath goes through as an individual. Acceptance helps you build right strategy.
  • Be realistic about your expectation of each other. Be honest about your ask in the communication rather than assuming that just because the partner is an empath, he/she will always have the energy to be there.
  • Look beyond your partner as an empath but as a normal human being having all kinds of needs, wants, emotions just like everybody else.
  • Communicate about your burnout. Don't hide it. You can always let your partner know about the stress and how you are feeling.
  • Ask for permission from your partner if he/she would be willing to hold the space for you or else, block mutually convenient time for the same & honour it. Never take your partner for granted but respect each other's time, space & boundary.
  • Empath couples may not be equipped to solve & non-judgementally understand each other's problems at times because of the relationship dynamics. Nothing to take personally on your capabilites as an empath, but it is a reality that because of the relationship dynamics, sometimes certain things may be seen with a blurry lens. Accept it and work through it. Have your own coach, therapist, counsellor who can help you both navigate this.
  • Unconditonal love & understanding can work wonders! And sometimes that could be giving space to one another & not fixing anything.
  • Release your partner from the pressure of being the saviour all the time. Know that sometimes you need to be saved to. Offer that to one another when you can or else, connect to someone who can do it for you.
  • A partnership with empaths is a special one! Know that as much as you both need each other, the world needs each other's gifts too. Rise above the petty needs, do the inner work & commit to being of service for something bigger than self. Your compassion, understanding & empathy for each other plays a pivotal role in how you show up in the external world. Commit to working in tandem with the creative forces of the nature.
  • Last but not the least, an unconditonal loving relationship is realizing that we share the same essence & our job is to evolve for the better.

Leaving you with this deep thought by Khalil Kibran:
Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.

Well, we are work in progress, learning and evolving, choosing consciously, failing yet rising up again. What would you like to add to the list? What are your suggestions to empath couples? Please share so that the world benefits from it.
Believing in you,
​Priyanka

Have you got what you are seeking for in life?

YOU TAKE YOURSELF WHEREVER YOU GO​
What will you choose when you are amidst something that is ugly, toxic and dark? Very often, we deflect or absorb. The ability to transmute, is something if you practice, will help you realise who you truly are! It takes immense power, strength & stillness to be blossoming in an environment that is not conducive for growth. But the moment you realise that this not so conducive environment is actually the manure you need to elevate yourself to the next level; the moment you stop running from it and stand firm in it, you have laid the foundation for your true growth. You have laid the foundation for not just ordinary expansion, but an expansion that will shine through you and be an inspiration to others.

​We look for greener pastures. We seek for better, the best. That’s hardwired in us. But there’s a difference in expansion which is a by-product of our inner growth & expansion which stems from running away from where you are. With no internal growth happening, if you just keep seeking for that which suits who you are, rest assured that you have created a recipe for your failure, suffering & pain. For, with no internal growth; you’ll find yourself in the best of the environments and still create the same dynamics there, for you take yourself wherever you go. 
Picture
EARTH IS OUR SCHOOL
How long will you run? One day you will have to accept the Is ’ness of the situation, the reality of your character, strengths & who you are. When you realise who you are, you don’t run from situations but situations start transforming. People start behaving differently, you start seeing things differently and most important of all, you find joy amidst the outer chaos. The chaos then isn’t chaos but ingredient for your deep inner work, your practice ground. As Spiritual leaders have said, ‘Earth is our school, where we have come to realize our essence.’ And lotus is the right metaphor to let us know that even amidst dirt, ugliness; the light within you can shine through & bloom. Mastering this is a life-long practice! Only the aware ones choose to practice, for true freedom lies in that. 
Picture
Leaving you will this question: Have you got what you are seeking for in life? If not, it’s time you change the question to: Have I realized who I am? 

Believing in you,
Priyanka

CHANGING YOUR PERSPECTIVE ABOUT THE CONTRASTS IN YOUR LIFE

2/12/2022

1 Comment

 
Picture
If you want clarity before even experiencing the contrast, you will end up in situations, places & amidst people that will co-create contrasts for you to experience what you don’t like, don’t want, don’t enjoy and the like.

Contrasts are necessary for our evolution and expansion. It gives us the opportunity to launch our authentic desires and what we truly want. But many a times, we let these experiences put us in shell and numb ourselves; never to want again, desire again. We are shrouded by self-criticism, blame and a sense of not being good enough to land in contrasting situations. We then become an attraction point for all that we detest and don’t want. That again is a brilliant opportunity for us to want something what we truly desire. However, if our orientation is such that we have a negative connotation towards contrast, we will negate the immense opportunity that it has in putting us into the path that we are truly seeking for.

Let me help you understand what I am trying to express here with a coaching conversation I had with a client of mine.

THE COACHING CONVERSATION
Me (Coach): What is the matter? You look disappointed!

Client: I feel embarrassed of what I have created in life as far as relationships are concerned!

Me (Coach): Tell me more about what this embarrassment is all about…

Client: You see I am successful professionally, but when it comes to love, I am a total failure. I never knew what love is, never experienced true love and it sucks to know that I have had one failed marriage and the one that I am in now, is also in the verge of falling apart. I get into relationships and then realize that this is not what I signed up for. Professionally if you are not aligned, you can end the contract, you can part ways & look for something that works for you, but in personal life, you are bound by obligations, norms and then the pressure of putting up when you know that on the inside it is not what I wanted. I don’t want to be in a relationship that drains me and is unfulfilling! What is wrong with me? Am I not good enough to get what I am seeking for? Am I not being able to be a good partner? What is it that I am not seeing?

The client breaks down & sobs….

Me (Coach): Being with my client uninterrupted & letting the client feel all the emotions that the client is feeling without trying to label it, fix it, jump in or advice at the same time being fully aware of what is happening in me and what I am feeling. I feel for my client.

Client
: After a minute… “I am sorry for breaking down. I never thought I would do this. I spoilt our session.”

Me (Coach): Tell yourself, “I allow myself to feel absolutely what I am feeling now. I give it my 100% attention.”

Client: Smiled & said, “Thank you!”

Me (Coach): After some time… What is wrong about the contrasting experiences?! What makes you blame yourself for experiences that are opening the doors for you to have more clarity & launch new desires?

Client: I should have been able to fix my marriage. Two times is a sign that I am not doing something well.

Me (Coach): Great reflection point! What are you not doing well?

Client: I should have been able to make my partner happy & work things out for the family.

Me (Coach): Before you do that, tell me, “Have you thought about making yourself happy?”

Client: Not really! I thought my job is to take care of others. I never focused on what gives me contentment and joy.

Me (Coach): Do you behave the same way in your profession too?

Client: No. I am clear with what I want & where I want to head to.

Me (Coach): What is this contrast offering you to consider now that you didn’t consider before?

Client: That I take my profession seriously & not my personal life. In my personal life I let others decide for me what is good & bad, what is desirable & not desirable.

Me (Coach): What happens when you let external forces make the choices for you?

Client: Land up in situations where I don’t want to be. I say ‘YES’ to relationships that I don’t want to be in.
I then try hard to change the person or change my self which never works.

Me (Coach): What do you notice about yourself & the entire situation until now?

Client: I am aware of what I don’t want in relationships and never quite articulated what I want.

Me (Coach): What do you want in relationships?

Client: Takes a pause…I want to be with someone who understands me, my dreams, co-creates with me and allows expansion in me and does things that I have always wanted to do like travel the world together, have adventures together, experience joy in the sweet nothings of life…

Me (Coach): Didn’t the contrast help you to articulate what you do want? What is great about the current contrast that you are in?

Client: It gave me clarity & see what I truly want in relationship and how I have been self-sabotaging.

Me (Coach): Now that you have an insight, what would you like to do to take it a step further?

Client: I want to stop blaming and look for the possibility that this contrast is pointing to.

Me (Coach): Tell me more…

Client: I feel grateful for this contrast. For without it, I would have been stuck with what I don’t want & never seek for what I want. There is nothing wrong in contrast, it gives me an opportunity to see how I am not valuing my wants as far as relationships are concerned. I want to take the lead in my relationships and stand for what I want.

Me (Coach): Great! What would you do as the first small step in that direction?

Client: I will have a heart-to-heart conversation with my partner and share what I have just shared with you about my stance in relationship and release the attachment for my partner to understand or react in a certain way & be open to listening to what my partner has to say.

Me (Coach): What will you do before you even talk to your partner?

Client: Allow myself time to sink in, feel, deal with my questions & when I feel joyful & happy, I will speak to my partner from that space.

Me (Coach): Thank you for choosing growth & clarity into your life!

Well, we then closed the session and the conversation continued in the upcoming sessions. Do I have to explain further?! I don’t think so.

But I would like to leave you herewith this reflection:
What are the contrasts in your life that you are upset about and how can you pivot that to see that as the vantage point for you to have more clarity about yourself & your desires? And that knowing will lead to inspired actions towards fulfilling your desires. The path then opens up…

Loving you all unconditionally,
Priyanka

When Nothing Seems To Be Working

9/28/2021

When nothing seems to be working as per plan, that's the time when we are more prone to doing & attracting things in our lives that isn't for our highest good. The pain of being in that discomfort becomes so unbearable that our physical dimension wants to gravitate to all that we are not & all that we wouldn't jump into, had things been great as per our perspectives. Many call this the dark night of the soul.
I would rather call it the peak of a breakthrough.
​This phase, this moment of endurance is very crucial for our expansion & growth. We can either slip again to our past patterns or jump into the unknown & experience a new way of being. As a human being who incarnated in this life, it is our natural tendency to succumb to our compulsive behaviours & be lured to settle in the known, familiar & what looks doable by our egoic mind. But this life is all about expansion. We can't keep ourselves in a box.
Picture
Our soul seeks for expansion & newer experiences. It has incarnated in this physical dimension to experience & fulfil the purpose for which we are here. However hard we try, we can't tame it. And if we wish to tame it, it'll loose the zest & vitality of life. And slowly after a certain point, we'll realize that it has lost all the vigour & vitality to be a 'YES' to life.
Expansion is our natural state of being. Denying it is a disservice that we do to ourselves & humanity for we are denying ourselves & all who are meant to be impacted by our expansion, the experience of our evolved perspective.
​
As you walk your journey of expansion, may you embrace the wisdom of your soul to guide you through all the temporal discomfort & find joy in the ride itself. This life is a ride, it's on us how we steer through everything that comes our way. The very fears that are holding you back are the very doors that will unlock the path that is ahead of you. Have compassion for your fears, look at it with unconditional presence & love and give it time to transmute to the creative force that it is. After all, just like you, your fears are also seeking for an expression in an expansive way through you to be able to transmute to a higher vibrational energy.

Enjoy the ride of life!
A note to self & all those going through dark times...
Deep Bow,
Priyanka

The relationship between master & disciple

7/6/2020

3 Comments

 
Picture
As believed earlier, this relationship is one where the master is put in the pedestal & the disciple bows down to receive. But, with evolution of human consciousness, this relationship evolved into a more matured & beautiful understanding.
                                                  From a relationship of verticals,
                                   it became a relationship of 'maitra', meaning friend.

No truly enlightened person ever told that to be enlightened, you have to put them above you, ahead of you or push them far away from you. Instead when you can see them as your enlightened friend, the receiving becomes joyful & more welcoming. Then there is sync between the two to allow the light to flow within. And if you look back at any great relationship, the foundation of that had been friendship. And thus walking together the path towards light becomes easy, fun filled and effortless.
I personally don't believe in idealizing or putting anyone in pedestal nor do I like when anyone does that to me.
                                             But, I do believe in mutual respect & love.
​
There is light in every individual & the enlightened one, irrespective of age, gender, creed, leads us to that awakening when we are ready.
I learnt from my coachee, my maitra and in his words:
                     "Gu in Sanskrit is darkness & Ru is light. Likewise, I feel a coach
                      is also like a Guru who makes one see that inner light in different
                            ways, reconnect with oneself so as to live life joyfully."

And I truly believe in a relationship of 'maitra'. Truly blessed to walk this path of enlightenment with beautiful, pure, awakened souls. Not only I help them see the light in them, but they too help me awaken at every step.
In deep gratitude for every experience of the heart.
Love. Priyanka

the pause - intuitive writing

4/29/2020

1 Comment

For some it is discomforting, for some it is resting,
Depending on where we are, at which evolution of life we are,
We find meaning in the pause...

Pause for me is slowing down,
Taking time to reflect & look back the distance I covered,
The memories I created, impact and adventures all the way,
Lessons learnt, connections formed, encountered and let go...

A voluntary pause is acceptable, but a sudden jolt,
A sudden pause without any warning sign is scary...
It invokes deep reflection; my ego gets threatened as my soul speaks now...

Divine pauses are my soul's reminder to me,
To get back on my path,
Do away with distraction and expand to my highest self;
Live my purpose...

In this pause, I find my materialistic existence to be futile,
I wonder what I have created! I wonder who am I being!
I feel lost, stuck, trapped, I feel out of this world,
I don't feel aligned, even in this quietness I am looking for a quite place...

A place that I can just sit & let life energy flow through me...
I am in the nothingness, and in a place that is beautiful but unfamiliar...
A place full of stars, light, joy....Where am I? Which part of the world is this?
I sat quietly and meditated there. I felt light and connected to my silence that reminded me of all possibilities that I and we all are...

Every part of me awakened and in this quietness I found all my answers, solutions to my issues, yet I struggle to be in this space...
I fear being left out in the materialistic world,
Out in the cold with nobody around me.
But as this life force will stop flowing through me, won't I be on my own again?!
In another world with no familiar face but just me, my new version of ego in my same soul?!

Is there a different world or it's the same world with me in different time & space?
A part of my disintegration in different human forms that is beyond my understanding!
My ego understands nothing of this, it doesn't want to know the truth; but my soul recognizes every face,
Every experience and so it is least bothered about what's next but enjoying this experience before it moves to another...

My ego is the fool in me who thinks it knows everything & has figured out everything,
But in reality it knows nothing...It is just caught up in the illusion,
It denies to see things as it is...Ah! That's why it does everything that it is doing...
It wears the mask so that it can't see and speak to the soul.
The soul is but the same, living its journey every time it regenerates into another mask....

Ego is the lie in us, the joker and the soul is the truth...
Joker juggles, soul enjoys;
Joker resists, soul surrenders,
Joker performs, dances, feels, finds, creates; the soul just lives and be...
The soul reminds our ego who it is, it keeps reminding & whispering...
Who we truly are, but the ego defies it and doesn't listen...

In a forced pause, our ego is bound to listen,
So, it finds it hard, discomforting and wants to escape...
Ego wants to be back to the normal which is actually the illusion, the abnormal, the lie...
The truth is in front of us only if we'll be open to receive it as it is...

Love & light,
Priyanka

the world of possibilities

4/4/2020

Amidst all the fears that is in & around me, I see equal amount of possibilities. Yes, I see possibilities against every fear & I have felt all of my fears thoroughly (it is a part of me, which also reminds me of the possibilities). Every time I feel my fears, I am also called to focus on the possibilities that is available in the world, in the humanity that we are & in this life that has been taken for granted by everyone of us in some form or other.

Welcome to my world of possibilities...

I see a world where love becomes the ruling force,
I see a world where love, compassion, empathy, respect exist not only between the victim & the hero, the sufferer & the saviour, the weak & the powerful, the wounded & the healer; but amongst equals unconditionally too,
I see an environment that is clean, green, joyous & flourishing,

I see the corporate world embracing humanity as their core driving force as opposed to profit earning at all cost & under any circumstances,
I see the corporate world enabling a lifestyle for the people that would support them in connecting with the essence of our existence, i.e. love,
I see a corporate world where love stands at the core of every leader rather than fear overruling the heart which ignites unhealthy competition & unwanted politics,
I see the corporate world being kinder, more prepared to drive human force to actualizing better causes for the abundance of humanity, greater peace & unity in the world,

I see every home as the container for enabling growth in every child to express his/her gifts joyously,
I see extraordinary leadership being modeled at home for generations to express,
I see every home being run with love & collaboration with everyone where the main focus is not on ego satisfaction, but on the bigger intention of making this life a beautiful expression for everyone,
I see deep connection being formed without any agenda but love for another human being,

I see love being redefined, where the horizon broadens to capture the essence of life,
I see people walking the spiritual path not when they grow old or are nearing death, but since the time when they get present to life,
I see people having the wisdom of knowing what matters to them not just when a crash down like this happens, but when the world resets itself to its beautiful self again,
I see a world where feminine & masculine energy equally flourishes, where we don't have to talk about inclusion but where we cherish & enable both in us because we have the yin & yang in us, the tenderness & rigour,

I see a world where more than the external wins, people give more importance to the wins against the vices in them,
I see a world where there is joy, radiance, wisdom, peace, love & possibilities to be unleashed by the generations to come,
I see a world where we 'BE' who we are, defying complacency & embracing growth; that to me is freedom & authentic living...

I see this possibility in ME, in YOU & EVERYONE around,
I want to see this change in the world & so I start it from ME.
Will YOU? I will be happy if YOU are a YES to this possibility....

Love,
Priyanka

an invocation from the universe

Picture
A quieter external environment has acted as a catalyst to the journey inward! 

With all the chaos around, we almost lost sight of what matters to us ultimately. The deeper meaning of life can never be understood by external wins because that is insatiable. The win on the outside is like chasing our shadow which we can never conquer. Only when the focus is changed, we realize that the shadow is nothing but a projection of us that we are trying to chase in futility. We have the wholesome in us, the completeness in us and yet we find ourselves wandering all around. So much of emphasis is given in doing, achieving and conquering that we forget to just be who we are.

We forget to allow us the permission to just 'BE'.

When everything around us comes to a standstill, we realize that the myriad social roles that we were playing are somehow our coping roles that we adapted to, in our effort to run away from this simple yet beautiful existence called LIFE. When a child is born, when she/he takes the first breathe in human form in this world, the child cries because there's a change of environment: from the warmth in the womb to the coldness outside. With every change, there comes uncertainty, fear and unpleasantness. And as a mark of a true human form, we learn to express our discomfort even as a child. But after a while, the child stops crying and starts to live, accepting the change because that change is a must to grow from a child to an evolved human.

This life is for us to experience a change, a growth, the possibility that we are. We humans have abundant capacity to adapt to our circumstances. Our journey to the unknown starts from the moment we are born. Then why do we fear uncertainty & the unknown?! Fear of uncertainty & the unknown will haunt us only when we fear that there is nothing that we can do to control the situation and when there is unwillingness to surrender to what there is. But ask yourself: Every time we encounter challenging times, what do we do? Do we control the situation or do we change our stance, our expression of who we BE in that moment? Controlling a situation is like fixing it and momentarily believing that things are okay, ignoring what needs our focus. What needs focus really?! Our being needs our focus. Whatever the environment might be, if we have done work to build our core, our inner strength, we have done the work really. And so whatever we say or do doesn't matter, our being says it all. It is a reflection of our inner world which however hard we try, we can't hide. It shows and speaks for us. As we run towards our shadow, the work that needs to be done on our being would depend how far we have gone away from our own self. As you decide to come home to yourself, you'll realize that what truly matters at the end is who we BE in this lifetime. All the definitions, judgement, labeling that we do around success, abundance, happiness, beautiful life is nothing but our ignorance speaking & manifesting in this world.With more awareness around self, we realize that for our soul, all these never really mattered but was a mere expression of the less evolved human form. 

With a sudden pandemic & global silence like this, it is a great reminder from the Source, an invocation to reconnect with all the lost, scattered & fragmented parts within us that we have been looking for here & there. The world within is a measure of the world that we create around us. And today, as a byproduct of who we are in the inside, we are witnessing the world outside us.

Let's collectively inspire each other to correct what we have been ignoring. Let's not fear death, but fear living life as an unevolved human.

Loving you all,
Priyanka
