​In the pursuit of spiritual growth, connecting with our inner self is essential. This journey is not just about self-improvement; it is a deeper exploration into the essence of our being, revealing the profound truths of our existence.

​Spiritual awareness is a unique path for each individual, involving introspection and a deep dive into the core of our consciousness.

​A pivotal step in this journey is embracing solitude and silence. Our lives, often bustling with activity and noise, can drown out the subtle voice of our inner self.

​Finding moments of quiet is crucial for this inner dialogue. Solitude provides the space to disconnect from the outer world's distractions and focus on our inner realm. It doesn't necessitate long periods of isolation; even brief moments of daily introspection can significantly impact our spiritual connection.

Deepening Understanding Through Mindfulness and Meditation
Mindfulness and meditation are vital tools for fostering this connection. These practices help us to be present, observing our thoughts and emotions without judgment. They enable us to become aware of our internal dialogues, beliefs, and life patterns.

Meditation, in particular, allows us to delve into our subconscious, uncovering insights and wisdom. These practices are not mere relaxation techniques but gateways to self-awareness and spiritual enlightenment.

Journaling: A Tool for Reflection and Insight
Journaling complements this journey well, offering a medium for expressing thoughts and emotions freely. It facilitates processing our feelings and gaining clarity on our experiences. By documenting our dreams, reflections, and spiritual milestones, we can track our growth and understand our thought patterns and behaviors.

Journaling's value lies not in eloquence but in its capacity for honest self-exploration.

The Transformative Power of Inner Connection
This inward journey is transformative, fostering personal growth, self-compassion, and a deeper understanding of our life's purpose. As we strengthen our inner connection, we find harmony and balance, improving not just our self-perception but also our interactions with the world.

This process helps us realize our interconnectedness with the universe, enhancing our life perspective and deepening our comprehension of existence.

Connecting with our inner self is a fundamental aspect of spiritual growth and awareness. Through solitude, mindfulness, meditation, and journaling, we embark on a path of self-discovery and enlightenment.

This journey enriches our lives, deepens our relationships, and contributes to a more conscious and compassionate world. It is a journey of self-realization, leading us to discover who we are and what we can become, unlocking our potential for profound transformation and fulfillment.

​The journey of spiritual ascension often leads individuals to a deeper understanding of their interconnectedness with all life forms and the planet itself.

​As one's consciousness expands, the awareness of the intricate web of life and our role within it becomes more pronounced. This heightened awareness frequently results in a more profound sense of environmental consciousness. 

​1. Interconnectedness

• Spiritual Ascension: As individuals progress on their spiritual paths, they often experience a deepening sense of unity with all existence. The illusion of separateness starts to dissolve, revealing that everything is interconnected.
• Environmental Consciousness: Recognizing this interconnectedness translates into understanding that harm to one part of the environment affects the whole, including ourselves. A polluted river doesn't just affect the fish; it affects the entire ecosystem and, eventually, human communities.

2. Reverence for All Life

• Spiritual Ascension: Higher states of consciousness often bring about a profound reverence for all forms of life, seeing the divine or universal essence in everything.
• Environmental Consciousness: This reverence can manifest as a commitment to preserving biodiversity, opposing cruel practices against animals, and promoting more humane, sustainable methods of interaction with all creatures.

3. Understanding Cause and Effect (Karma)

• Spiritual Ascension: Many spiritual traditions emphasize the concept of karma, the law of cause and effect. Actions, whether positive or negative, have consequences.
• Environmental Consciousness: This understanding translates to the environment as well. Actions like deforestation, overfishing, or pollution have tangible, often dire, consequences for the planet.

4. Mindful Consumption

• Spiritual Ascension: As one ascends spiritually, there is often a move towards simplicity and mindfulness in all areas of life, including consumption.
• Environmental Consciousness: Mindful consumption naturally leads to eco-friendly choices—reducing waste, choosing sustainable products, supporting ethical practices, and understanding the environmental impact of our consumer decisions.

5. Holistic Well-being

• Spiritual Ascension: The journey often brings about an understanding that true well-being is holistic, encompassing mind, body, and spirit.
• Environmental Consciousness: Holistic well-being extends to the health of the planet. Clean air, unpolluted waters, and natural habitats are crucial for the physical and mental well-being of all creatures.

6. Responsibility and Stewardship

• Spiritual Ascension: With expanded consciousness comes the realization of one's responsibility towards the well-being of all.
• Environmental Consciousness: Recognizing this responsibility often leads to proactive efforts to care for the environment, advocating for sustainable practices, and educating others about the importance of environmental stewardship.

7. Shift from Ego to Eco

• Spiritual Ascension: One of the significant shifts in the spiritual journey is moving from ego-centric perspectives to more inclusive, universal viewpoints.
• Environmental Consciousness: This transition can be described as moving from "ego" to "eco", where the well-being of the planet and its inhabitants takes precedence over individualistic, short-term gains.

In essence, spiritual ascension and environmental consciousness are two sides of the same coin.

As individuals evolve spiritually, their sphere of concern often expands from self, to community, to the entire planet. They begin to recognize that spiritual health and the health of the Earth are intricately linked, and that to truly ascend and evolve, we must ensure the well-being of our shared home.

When we choose to live an inspired life, we ignite our creative spark, allowing us to think differently and embrace new possibilities.

​By surrounding ourselves with inspiration and following our passions, we can tap into our unique creative abilities, whether it's through artistic pursuits or inventive problem-solving.

​In doing so, we free our minds to explore uncharted territories and nurture our innovative spirit.

Inspired living can have a profound impact on our emotional well-being.

By engaging in activities that bring us joy and resonate with our inner values, we can find balance and reduce stress in our lives.

​Studies have shown that individuals who live with purpose and passion experience greater happiness, satisfaction, and emotional resilience. Thus, embracing an inspired lifestyle can help us cultivate a positive mindset and better navigate life's ups and downs.

One of the most enriching aspects of inspired living is the opportunity to strengthen existing relationships and forge new social bonds.

​As we share our excitement and enthusiasm with others, we create deeper connections with those around us. Pursuing our passions also allows us to meet like-minded individuals, fostering a sense of community and support that can help us grow and thrive.

Embarking on a journey of inspired living is a gateway to personal growth and self-discovery.

As we learn to find and work with our passions and explore our core values, we gain invaluable insights into who we are and what truly matters to us.

​This self-awareness in turn enables us to set meaningful goals and make well-informed decisions, ultimately leading to a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Inspired living encourages us to use our unique talents and skills to make a positive impact in the world.

By following our passions and striving to make a difference, we are more likely to engage in activities that benefit the society, which can be initiatives such as volunteering to launching socially responsible projects.

​In turn, our inspired actions can serve as a catalyst for change by inspiring others to join us in creating a brighter future for everyone.

​It is said that ‘Change’ is the only constant in this life. In Sanskrit, the ancient language from Vedic India, life is referred to as the ‘Samsara’- a constant repetitive change-  The Cycle of Birth and Death.

This cycle is also often compared to the wheel of time or fortune- because at any given time, we may feel at the top of our game or at the bottom- but, one thing is for sure... it shall change.

With the passing time, situations, events, people will change and our life will transition and transform. This is an inevitable law.

Most people dread change. But once we understand the true cyclical nature of life and our very existence then we can make peace with it.

This will automatically allow you to create a small gap between your life-scenario and your inner-being.

This is the first step of worldly detachment that is mentioned in almost every ancient spiritual guidance. It is important that we learn to embrace 'change' in all its forms... not as the end of something we know, but as a birth of something new... situations, events and possibilities. Though we typically think of change in a negative way, it is important to remember that as change is associated with life, stagnancy is associated with death!

Change and movement is important for growth and rejuvenation.

Once you truly understand this concept... not the wisdom of these words as a mental concept, but actually feel the truth of these words as a living reality of your existence in your heart, then you will truly start walking the path  of ascension to higher dimensions.

When we get stuck on some issue, most of us are conditioned to “think” even harder! Now- to some extent that may make sense. But the criteria to deciding which approach we should take, should depend on the problem at hand.

​Some problems are purely empirical. Then in that case, it may make sense to “think” more- after all, our mind is the best tool we have that can think thru, analyze and come up with amazing solutions. BUT, if we are looking for creative ways to address a scenario, then “thinking” will not help; since by the vey construct of the mind, it is limited by the information that it contains and how it processes that information.

Look at it this way- let’s say, you and I are both equally intelligent and have similar thinking capabilities. But you are very knowledgeable since you are a voracious reader and an avid traveller- knowing about various life experiences, which I don’t even know can exist! The phrase “we don’t know what we don’t know” is very true when it comes to evaluating mind’s capabilities and limitations.

Let’s say in this example that I have average knowledge with an average exposure to life experiences and we both are presented the same non-empirical problem- since your mind has many more previously input knowledge/information- it will be able to evaluate and analyze the situation more comprehensively than me and also come up with a ‘supposedly innovative” solution. With my limited (average) knowledge/information I would be no match for it. The reason I am writing “supposedly innovative” since your mind is still limited by its own bounds- it may have a much larger boundary than for me or most other folks- but still it is limited and anything you come up with from the mind is bound within those experiences, those parameters. 
 
That is why to be truly innovative, we need to go beyond the mind and access that something- from which, from where, everything is created! It is the energy that nature goes to, and it is the same energy nature utilizes to ensure each of its creation however small is created in perfection. That is why it becomes important to learn to quell the mind and go beyond the mind in a calm presence, so that we can get insights which can help us to obtain true, deep and comprehensive understanding into a situation. This in turn will allow you to really “think outside the box” and be innovative in your solution ideas.

“Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool’s paradise, for only a fool will think that is happiness.”
​
–Bertrand Russell

​This quote probably applies most to folks who are caught in a “karmic whirlpool”- where, at an apparent level things may seem to be good, pleasurable and ‘happy’; but in reality they are too blinded by the karmic fog and too deluded by Maya to see that their so called “happiness” is actual a fool’s paradise. They do not see the karmic-whirlpool they are stuck in.

Typically, astrology provides a good understanding of past life accumulated karmas. It also provides detailed indication of which “change opportunities/possibilities” could arise in a person’s life time. 

​The play of these two along with Divine grace determine the various life experiences an individual will encounter in their life-time.  More a person chooses to live consciously- more he will understand his karmic lessons and clear past baggage.  In this manner, he will clear his past karmas and his life course will proportionately deviate from his astrological natal chart.

What I have noticed is that at times, there are certain individuals who are very low in their consciousness but still seem to be “above karma”, i.e. astrological events do not seem to impact them. This is very counter-intuitive! When one is more mired in the Maya and delusion of this world, you would expect them to be under more karmic influence and as such be strongly impacted by astrological events such as Saturn transits, eclipses, etc.

So what’s going on here? Something is amiss! How come these folks seems to be “happy” even though they are living unconsciously? They also seem to be deviating from their natal chart and no astrological event seem to adversely affecting them. How is that possible?

What I have noticed is that such people are in a type of “Karmic Whirlpool”. As we know, when a person is stuck in a whirlpool, they are too caught up in it to get affected by the calmness or turbulence of the bigger water body. It could be stormy seas or high/low tides- all this will be meaningless to the one caught in a whirlpool.

Something similar is at play in the above scenario! Such folks either have a very crucial imminent lesson which they need to learn and/or their lower un-conscious living has got them into a negative energy vortex. Either ways, they need to hit their rock-bottom!   Only after that will they start getting “action choices” or start experiencing their other karmas.

​So in reality, it is not that these people are above their karmas. Actually, they are “stuck” at a soul-journey juncture and until they rise from it, all astrological event impacts seem to be suspended.

Conscious living is very much essential in today’s fast moving world. Whenever one starts living consciously, one becomes more aware about one’s own self and being.  

One starts observing situations and analyses the information gathered by the senses. Taking the right decisions at the right situations with right attitude, etc is the outcome of conscious living. The thoughts which were directed towards external objects are diverted inwards. The scattered mind becomes focused mind thus improves the productivity in professional life. 
​
Once there is proper intellectual understanding about one’s own mind and being, the fear is driven out from the mind.  The doubts arising out of fear vanishes and the confidence level increases. It happens with both the personal and professional life.  One becomes more aware about the social and family responsibilities. 

The mind automatically starts managing the emotions, expectations, desires. One gets an understanding that he is not limited to this body. It is possible to understand one’s own nature and thus possible to overcome his own limitations and constraints in the character. The level of concentration increases, and one can focus on any aspect according to the situation, without any distraction. 

Conscious living is again a transformation of one’s basic nature and quality of mind. One starts experiencing that the events in the life as just natural happenings and realizes that the body and mind are only the instruments to perform the actions.  Rather than expectations driving the mind, self confidence increases through this process and the individual is driven by confidence and faith.  

Conscious Living must start by synchronizing the body and the mind by being aware on each and every action performed by the body.   This is because, whatever the thoughts arise in the mind, the intellect analyses it and executes through the sense of organs in the body.  Through increased awareness, one thinks a before performing any action thus the intellectual discrimination starts. 

Let it be any situation in the life, one who is sharp only can win the adverse situations by overcoming the difficulties.  The individual is aware about what to talk, when and where.  

Basically, one starts facing the situations wisely. One can use this awareness to increase productivity so as to manage multiple jobs and responsibilities.  The mind becomes free from fear and is equipped to grasp new ideas and concepts.  One starts accepting the situations with the understanding that with the help of the effort put forth, the success comes naturally. One starts accepting failures also by realizing the fact that it is natural and keeps trying for the next chance of success.  

A selfless attitude starts developing internally and a good relationship is established with the fellow beings. One becomes broad minded and is capable of accepting limitations of other individuals. 

Since there is no fear, worries and tensions, there is no mental stress or struggle.  This attitude keeps the diseases away and helps to manage the health in a good way.

​We all know of that phase in Holland where tulips were suddenly being traded as commodities. The price of ordinary tulips skyrocketed, and it continued till that instance when no one was willing to pay that high price and suddenly the whole thing collapsed. It is said that at one point in time, the money to buy a tulip could buy a nice family house!

Tulips are beautiful reminder that spring is upon us. But in a strange way, they also remind us of history when man has allowed himself to be deluded into the madness of making quick money or not wanting to be “left out” of the boom and has got caught in dire straits!! 

As spring is approaching, times are changing… be cautious, be aware and don’t make hasty or ill-thought-out decisions…

Tulips say- beware…
 
With spring in the air, it is time to revisit our life choices- are you merely living, going thru day to day motions or are you living consciously?

We are all connected by invisible strands or quantum strings; called "Yoga Spanda" in ancient Sanskrit. So, when you wonder how your actions can matter in this vast universe- remember that even fluttering wings of a butterfly can create a storm on the other side of our globe. 
​
We are all like pearls strung on the same strand, what happens to one can impact everyone else...

There are times in our lives when we wonder about the “meaning” (or lack thereof) in our life. As we go about our daily duties, we wonder if any of those actions can impact anyone beyond the few immediate people. Lest do we know the far-reaching extent of our thoughts and actions!!

According to Wikipedia: Chaos theory is a branch of mathematics focused on the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions. 'Chaos' is an interdisciplinary theory stating that within the apparent randomness of chaotic complex systems, there are underlying patterns, constant feedback loops, repetition, self-similarity, fractals, self-organization, and reliance on programming at the initial point known as sensitive dependence on initial conditions. The butterfly effect describes how a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state, e.g. a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can cause a tornado in Texas.

So, when we wonder how our seeming small actions can impact the greater good- remember that we are all connected. Each to everyone and everything else forming a web of matter and information- distinct and yet intertwined so that it is affected by the smallest of change.

Knowing this it is very important to carefully choose our thoughts and actions. There is so much pain and misery in our world- with rising anger and violence. Ordinary citizens like you and I may not be warriors on the frontline, but we can help to bring peace and equanimity by exhibiting it in our everyday actions. Being loving or at the very least kind to everyone we interact with, showing grace even when we may feel that the other person is totally out of line- such small actions can play a pivotal role in bringing balance to our increasingly un-balanced social and global environment.
