As we welcome a new year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the life and work of Ram Dass a true seeker and modern-day teacher. He worked diligently on himself to practice all that he learnt from his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba.
Ram Dass left this earthly dimension on December 22, 2019 and this is the day of the Winter Equinox (in the northern hemisphere)- when slowly the nights start getting shorter and the days start getting longer. It is the time; we start returning to light.

Like the many books he has written and the many workshops he has conducted, I believe his departure brings us a message of hope and wellbeing. Like him, we as humanity are slowly returning to light…
It is said that the time before sunrise is the darkest part of the night and so it could be said about 2019 and the next couple of years!!
Year 2019 was a tough year for many people. At an energetic level it was expected- but like all tough situations, how each individual person chose to act and react to a troublesome development or challenge in their life was very different.

Some people reacted with anger, rising against those who they believed were perpetrating atrocities on them and others and there were those who felt that it was all meaningless anyways and so were enveloped in depressive thoughts…
... and of course there were those who chose not to take up any responsibility and play the victim card!! They chose to point finger at others- it could be their family, people at work, society or even government at large.
As we look around, in the news, on social media; there just seems to be anger and aggression all around us. Such energies do tend to raise conflicts- not just between individuals and teams but even conflict between countries.
But, the worst of it all is the conflict it raises within us as individuals!!

We need to remember that “we are the world we experience”. Our world is our creation. Not the outside factual occurrences, but how we are experiencing it and our response to it!! So, chose wisely…
So, as we move into 2020 and you see, hear, read about turbulent events happening, natural disasters, government clashes and so on- try to bring love into the situation.
Do what you can to help those in need, but remember that ultimately, we are all here on this journey as fellow-passengers on a train. We may not be able to change the route or destination, but we can surely influence how we are experiencing the journey!
