Depression and sadness are not the same thing. Depression is much more than just sadness. It is sadness and loneliness and anger, regret, tiredness, shame, nervousness, fear, self-hatred, hopelessness. Depression is not just sadness, it is a hurricane of negative emotions. And to the ones who stand in front of it every day, I bow down to you.

I feel like one of the most unfortunate things that happens as we grow up is that we start to lose our sense of wonder. We stop looking at life excitingly and instead begin to look at everything from the perspective that it is just another of many. This is untrue. Every leaf, every insect, every human, every thing in existence is unique; if only we pay enough attention to that uniqueness, we wouldn't find life mundane. Life will always be fresh for us. As a child, I had no friends and still I was never bored. I was alone, yes, but never bored. Because I had a certain sense of wonder for everything. From the tiled floor, to the minute details of the cracks in the receding wall paint, to the fresh air seeping through the windows; something always kept me engaged. But more and more of today's children are losing that sense. By the age of four, they already know half the universe; but in such a way that it doesn't entice them to seek to learn the mechanics of it, but instead in a way that makes them think they have known, seen and heard all that there is. in other ways, they gather a lot of information but no understanding. It is important even if just for 10-15 minutes every single day, we bring this in our lives that we must pay full attention to something. A flower, an animal, the texture on an insect's body, the stars, the full moon, some mantra; anything. We must not live not paying attention. Otherwise, we will miss the whole cosmos and its magic. Buddha said, "If you pay attention, all that you seek is right here." It is time that we learn to pay attention; only then we will truly became alive.

There comes a point after letting go where you begin to feel anonymous to your own self. It is because, for a long time, you had identified yourself with your trauma. Your identity was formed around that distorted consciousness. Letting go shattered that identity, leaving you feeling lost. It is at this time that a lot of people begin to feel misplaced in their own skin. This is an opportune time. This is a possibility to go beyond your previous limited identities. This is a possibility to realize the infinite truth of your existence. The best thing to be done at this time is nothing. Sit down, breath and let your expectation of what could have been or what should be settle down. Let a certain emptiness arise within you. And in that emptiness, the whole universe will be born. A new clarity will arise. Discovering oneself is the greatest pinnacle of one's life. This is the point in your healing journey where you get to choose your path ahead in correspondence to your internal truth. Once your canvas has a new clarity, now is the time for you to take the brushes and paint the masterpiece of your life. This is the time to explore the many shades of existence. Read, watch, travel. Find new avenues for your life. And then pursue what resonates with your inner being. And slowly by doing that, you will eventually find yourself again. But this time, what you will come to know as yourself will no longer be a facade – it will be your truth.

Shifting focus is one of the most prevalent practices in that of modern spirituality and while it can be a useful tool in many ways; the current employment of it lends it to be one of the most toxic spiritual practices on Earth today. Most people use shifting focus as a mean to bypass reality. They create a bubble of positive thoughts to feel transitionally good. And while it does feel good, it stops us from *actually* moving any further from the inner state of negativity. The inherent negative keeps living inside us, operating in the unconscious. 

We need to understand that shifting focus doesn't clear the dirt, instead it removes all possibilities of it being cleaned. The only way to clear it is to face it, acknowledge it, find its cause and then to deliberately take action to fix that. 

It is time we evolve from the practice of *shifting focus* to the practice of *shifting reality.* Every tool that we use to escape from reality will prevent us from shifting it. Shifting reality requires us first and foremost to acknowledge, to validate, and to become conscious of both of its aspects; positive and negative. And then to work out through them, not against them towards that which is in sync with our desire. Have a great day. Much love and blessings to all!! ❤❤ ••• May we all heal. May we all be free.

What is happening around you will never be 100% the way you want it, there will always be a point where it will oppose your desire. And it is for its own good. Because human desire is a wild creature, you can never judge the amount of bullshit it can think. This next car, or this next person, or this next job—and then I will be eternally happy. And then you have it, and you want something bigger, wilder. Every time you think this is the limit – it is going to go in a direction totally unexpected. Happiness, we must realize, is not and never has been about external satisfaction, but about internal contentment. Whatever happens outside you will never totally be the way you want it, and it doesn't determine the quality of your life. What determines the quality of your life is what is happening within you, and that can be 100% the way you want it. The only question is whether you are a compulsive person, or a conscious one; whether you live, or are being lived through. ••• May we all heal. May we all be free. May we all be ourselves. ❤❤

In the yogic culture, it is always said that your life is your karma. Karma doesn't mean some supernatural contract – karma means action. Your life is your karma means your life is your making. We live in a cyclical universe. Everything is bound to compulsive cycles of nature. But once you are a human being, you have the ability to be conscious – you have the power to break the cycles. This is the prime difference between animals and human beings; compulsiveness and consciousness. However, for majority of people they are still living compulsively. Over 99% of their lives is unconscious. Due to this, it seems like that their life is being controlled by invisible powers. In other words, the enormous power of a human being has been lend over to the cycles of universe. Even after having the power to break away from them, we are getting crushed by them. From the morning to up till now. You have committed four types of actions; physical, mental, emotional and energetic – majority of them instinctual or compulsive or unconscious. It is time you took back the power to create, change, and manifest. It is time that you evolved from compulsiveness to consciousness. It is time you stopped receiving the imprints from universe, and started to imprint your own intentions on the fabric of reality. The only question is, will you commit to the responsibility of being a conscious human being or will you just keep sleep-walking for the sake that it requires no accountability. ••• May we all heal. May we all be free. May we all be ourselves. ❤❤

the moment you become unconditionally present with your pain and accept it and embrace it and stop coming up with coping mechanisms to fight it – you set yourself free. does that mean no pain anymore? no, but it releases you of suffering. when we allow pain, the split inside us turns to union, the war going on inside our skin ends. once the war within us gets over, we acquire an internal peace; unimpacted by outward turmoil.

One of the most common questions I have received is; I am doing a lot of healing modalities and they are giving me a hard time right now. Am I doing something wrong? The answer is right here, plain and simple. I can promise you that once you have healed your life would be far better than it has ever been. But I can’t promise you that healing itself would feel any good. Healing requires us to uncover our subconscious wounds, face our inner demons, integrate our shadow self, see and meet our pain. Feel-good exercises are the biggest scam ever. They don't lead to healing. They are transitional fixtures and in the longer term lead to drastic results. Healing is the exact opposite of these feel-good practices. It is a means to resolve to become whole again, not a means to avoid pain for the sake of feeling better. The path to healing requires us to break over and over again until we settle into wholeness. My own path has been one of the darkest. I have had to face many of my aspects that I would never have chosen to see. But the process of healing made me look at them right into their eyes, and face them, and resolve them. It led me back to my childhood traumas that I had buried and forgotten about. It led me through isolation, despair, desperation, pain, powerlessness and anxiety. I would try to run from them, and they caught me back. And then I would sit with them. Then I'd wait till they look towards a different direction, and will try again to escape them. Until, I realized that I couldn't run from them. They we're a part of me. I was trying to run away from myself. That day, I stopped running and embraced them. The path to healing is not always easy, but it is always worth the effort. Now, when I look back, I see the importance of it. It is important for us to drown in pain in order to usher in love.
