What is after enlightenment?

The question I had for a very long time and I am sure many seekers will have this on their spiritual journey.  When one chooses to know one's own self and chooses a particular path to receive enlightenment, at a certain point, a question would definitely arise - What is after enlightenment? or How do enlightened beings live?  What do they think?  How do they choose what to do and what not to do?  How are their relationships? and many more such questions.

In the earlier stages, I used google to lead me to my answer.  I found quite a few answers, but I did not feel satisfied with any of them.  Some of them did satisfy me for a while, but not for long.

I tried contemplation and meditation (ofcourse).  I thought answer will be given to me when I am ready through any means.  I kept myself open to whatever was coming.

I got redirected to teachings by many new-age gurus.  I loved each and every one of them.  I felt the love, greater and greater each day.  Every moment I felt loved and appreciated.  I got so much love from them that I almost forgot about the question.

I just flowed with the teachings with the love.  Applied one or other processes, resonated with some.  Some worked for me and some didn't.  Then suddenly something happened, I started understanding like never before, I started going beyond words more and more.  It was like something opened up and absorbed all the knowing... I started learning more from this state... more learning and more realization.  Amazing journey!

It was like I was fulfilled, long time hunger/thirst was satisfied.  I still do not know what was satisfied.  It was the feeling of satisfaction like never before.  I kept the learning ongoing in this state and it is so much amazing to learn in this state.

And I was out of this amazing state, I realized something went out of sync within me.  I felt the need to go back and I did go back and went out again and went back again.  This happened quite a few times.  This was the answer!

I had read and heard about the answer quite a few times before but never quite understood.  Now I did.  This feels the most satisfying answer to me at the moment.  I will try my best to give accurate words to this answer.

The eternal expansiveness of existence is taught to us by the presence of time.  Time is always moving ahead, one cannot stop time.  In a certain moment, one feels Ahhh! Enlightenment.  The enlightening moment seems like eternity. Everything is experienced in that single moment, but that moment has to die and new moment is born.  This new moment can be either slightly less enlightening or slightly more enlightening, but not same as the old one.  Trying to feel the same is like - trying to step into same water twice in a moving stream of water.  You cannot step in the same water twice.  You cannot experience the same moment again.  There is new moment, and in that moment one chooses whether to realign or drift further away from that amazing momentous experience (which will never be the same again).  The more one can align back to the super-amazing eternal moment, the more enlightened that person stays.  So there is a balancing act - one realigns back to the self that brought that enlightening moment and experiences further enlightenment (certainly not the same).  Each moment changes the person and so there is just newness. 

One has to experience to know it.  Certainly there are many who have experienced it and do not even know the term 'enlightenment'.  Some are pros at re-aligning themselves and some are learners.  All are moving towards the best version of themselves and the balancing act is the most entertaining game!

The Paltry Asserters

I am amazed by those who know the Koran by heart yet understand nothing of the spiritual states of the Sufis.
As the Koran states, "And do not obey every paltry asserter."
Look at the slanderers when they read this, they are exactly the ones who will say, "Do not listen to So-and-so, no matter what they say, for they will act the same way against you."
The above paragraph is taken from one of the Discourses of Rumi.  It is amazing to see how Rumi is so direct in his message, yet not clearly pointing out the tribe.

Today is the age when we see many of such people.  There are people who can say the verses from their religious texts even when they are woken up in the middle of the night. But, sadly, they have not been able to internalize the meaning of what they are saying.

These are the kinds of people who will try to interpret the meaning of the text when asked by some, and their interpretation will be limited by their thinking, which will be influenced by the limited development of virtues in them. Therefore, it may not match with the development level of the mass or individual they are addressing. 

Essentially, it is not guided by the Love for the Supreme. Their interpretation is guided by love for this world, which is very limited, there by limiting their interpretation.  Therefore, it is not a good idea to adhere or follow such people.  One has to be cautious in differentiating between the Truth and other things.

This is the reason why Rumi mentions, do not listen to every 'paltry asserter', which means every 'small/petty assertions'.  He further explains how to identify between the True ones and the ones who are not.

He says, the people who are not the right ones will tell you things like - do not listen to so-and-so not matter what. They will try to show as if they are protecting you from the ones which are not true, but essentially what they are doing is preventing you from going towards the truth.

A True person will never prevent you from exploring and using your intellect to determine/discern the truth. 

A True person will act as a guide to your thinking and encourage you to explore, thereby encouraging your own development.

Yes, a True person will definitely warn you of the extreme danger, but will never ever take over your free-will, which is the Gift from God.

A True person will never inhibit you from using your intellect, which is another precious Gift from God.

Always rely on your inner self for guidance towards Truth and the grace of God will be the Light towards the right path and your protection from misguiding forces.  

Remember, God will never want you to follow anyone blindly, experiments and exploration are always welcome in His kingdom.

No Honor is Like Knowledge

Last night, I checked my emails and I got one that had the line mentioned in the title.  It went on ahead like this:
No honor is like knowledge, no belief is like modesty and patience, no attainment is like humility, no power is like forbearance, and no support is more reliable than consultation
These are the words of Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu Talib, quoted in one of the speeches of Hazar Imam.

The way I understand this is that, the rest of the lines are extensions of the first line: No honor like knowledge.  All the other lines emanate from the first one.

Hazar Imam goes on further explaining these lines and one of the things he said really led me to understand the lines better.  Here is the line that struck me.
What he thus is telling us is that we find knowledge best by admitting first what it is we do not know, and by opening our minds to what others can teach us.
Therefore, the quest or thirst for knowledge makes us humble, modest, patient and accommodating to others ideas/thoughts/needs.  These are the virtues that form a part of a virtuous / good human being / good leader / an ideal family member and many more.

Let us focus on these virtues as long as we can and try to implement them in our lives to make this world a better place to live for us and also for the fellow human beings.

End of Series - Transcending the Law of Karma




The "Transcending the Law of Karma" article series has come to an end. This was a three article series. Following is the summary and link for each part.

    Part1
Link to the post
Regardless of whether one loves it or fears it, the ultimate intention of everybody is to move beyond this Law of Karma, which means to transcend it. Everyone wants to be free from the karmic bondage. 
Why to build karma and then live lifetimes just to fulfill the bondage that we have created? ...More




Part 2
Link to the post

We are currently bearing the fruits of our previous actions. We need to accept the fact. But, what exactly is action? How and from where is it generated?
...
Why do we decide to do something or act on something while not on the other option available?

...More



Part 3
Link to the post
The freedom from the bondage of karma comes from detachment, not from detachment of action, but from the detachment of fruits of action.

How is detached action different from other types of action? What do such actions look like in this world?

Journal-ling

I have started inducing the habit of writing a journal since last few days.  The intention was to have me to write, because, for  some reason I love to express myself in writing but was unable to do so satisfactorily since quite a few days.

The habit is taking me on a journey to discovering lot of things.  I am really enjoying this habit.  The first benefit that is coming to my mind is - eliminating the need to remember consciously.  It is very funny but I am sure there must be many people with me in the same boat.

There are somethings that you remember when you are in the middle of something and it is difficult to keep remembering it along with the current train of thought.  Either one has to die.  At such times, noting any of it in the journal makes life very very very easy.

Second thing is, there are somethings in life that happen and you want to take note of it, like emotionally.  Either you want to feel the emotion again or be with the emotion for a longer time.  Usually, we fulfill this need by sharing the incident with others.  Sometimes, this sharing is not a possibility.  At times, there is no person around you and at times the person around may not be able to understand what you are trying to say.  There are similar other situations where journal becomes your best friend.

I am sure there will be many uses of this habit.  I hope to take this further for a longer time!

Pomodoro

In one of the training sessions, I was informed about an interesting productivity technique called - "Pomodoro Technique"

I have been using it since few days and it is working like a charm.  I feel it is very carefully designed.

According to the technique, taking regular breaks can enhance your productivity.  It is like you work for 25mins and take 5mins break (break is mandatory!).  What I experienced, is that when you get back to work after the break, you are all new and refreshed.  Yes, 5minutes timely break can really make a big difference.  Timely is the keyword.

In break time, I have activities listed to do - like stretching (very important if you are continuously working on computer), writing blog post (like this one), small healings (or part healings), self recharging (pranic breathing) etc.

This is an amazing technique which is really working great for me right now.  Here is a youtube video that explains it.  It is a 2min video. Enjoy!

Joining The Herd Again!

Here I am, back in the herd again.  Today is the first day.  I hope most of you understand what I am talking about.  Yes, the JOB!

Not going into the details on why and what does it have in it, I will just prefer to write what I have to say at the moment.  I am feeling thrilled at this new place.  A kind of excitement that would be for the first time in my life.

I am feeling blessed to be surrounded by intelligent people around me and this is the fact I am just unable to ignore.

Amazing learning experience here and I am sure more posts will follow on this.  :)

Every Game Has Rules

Every game has rules that all the players must follow.  The better you understand the rules, it is easier for you to finish the game with flying colors.

Some of you should be getting the message on what game and what rule  I am talking about here.  Yes, it is about life and the rule is Karma.

Imagine you are playing snakes and ladders with your son/daughter for the first time.  You would teach them all the rules of the game, make sure they understand the rules by playing the game with them.  Would you change the rule in the middle of the game?  Most possibly, no.

Would you always win the game with your son/daughter just because you bought the game and you are the one that had explained the rules to him/her?  No, right?

Then why do we start thinking that God or the Almighty should magically help us?  Giving us an understanding of His rules is help.  All we need to do now is follow.  Here is a small example:

Once upon a time there was a very poor man.  He earned very little and had very little to eat every day.  Once he saw a pious man walking.  He called him and requested him to make a request to God on his behalf.  He said, just tell God that please, instead of giving me so little every day, just give me all what I am ought to receive in this life 'all at once'.  The God may then end my life, but please help me reduce this daily suffering by doing this.  The pious man agreed to take his request to God.

The pious man got the chance to talk to God and he presented the request.  The God agreed and gave him a sack full of grains and told the pious man to give this sack to that man and say this is what he has to get the entire life. The pious man did as instructed.

After a few days, the pious man was walking through the same route and he was astonished by what he saw.  He saw that the poor man was alive and more than that, he was not poor anymore.  He was rich, happy and prosperous.  The pious man was puzzled, so he decided to ask God about this. 

He went to God and told him what he saw.  God explained, there are rules.  When you gave that man the single sack of grain, he did not eat it all.  He called all the people around him, shared with them and ate.  He had done good karma.  So, now he deserved the reward and not death.  He, therefore, got more grain.  Again, he did the same thing.  Shared and then consumed. Again he was rewarded.  And, he is still doing the same. :)

Isn't the law just amazing?  This simple story was told to me by a learned man and it has been on my mind since a long long time since then.  I am glad I could put it into words here.  I hope it helps others gain insight as well.

With Power Comes Responsibility

This is one of the movie quotes that has effectively impregnated my mind.  It is taken from the movie Spiderman, where spiderman is told - "With great power comes great responsibility"

As we watch in the movie, the spiderman is confronted into a situation where he can do something and this situation comes only after he gets the power.  When he ignores doing something about it, he is hurt from inside.  This is the time he realizes that he is being reminded of his responsibility.  This happens to all of us.

If we have a skill or power, we are supposed to use it responsibly and not only for selfish reasons.  Of course, we need to stand up first to pull others up.  If we are aware, we can see that we are put into some situation for a purpose.  We are there for a reason, because we have the ability to do something.

I had a recent similar experience and it kept me thinking for days. 
There is a small medical facility run by local voluntary doctors and nurses where I go to pray every day.  People usually get their blood pressure and sugar checked there so they do not have to go to a doctor or a hospital for that purpose.  Usually any volunteer doctor or nurse present there provides the service.

One fine day, a young guy comes as asks me if I knew some nurse who had come that day.  I said, one of them just left the premise.  He ran to see if she was still at the gate, but unfortunately she had left.  I also went behind him to see if he found her.  I asked him what was the issue, he said, he wanted to get his blood pressure checked.  I could see he was not well.

One of my friends, who has never volunteered at this medical facility, but is a nurse was sitting there waiting for her transport.  I requested her for help and she agreed, but she had no idea where things were kept so I went with her.  I usually do not go to that place if there is some experienced nurse (note this!).

She checked the blood pressure and it was high.  The guy was worried.  My friend advised him to sit and have a glass of water and she would measure it again.  Someone brought some water for him.  By that time, I was standing.  I checked his megmen and it was OA.  I quickly normalized it.

The pressure was checked and guess what - it was normal!  The smile on the guy's face was priceless.  He was so relieved.  I guess, the absence of other nurses was planned.

I monitored his megen for a day and half and it was normal. It was my responsibility that had put me into this situation.  I have never being present in the room while any person's blood pressure was measured in the past, except this day.

Hit a Goldmine?

I have a feeling I have hit a goldmine!  Seriously.  I have mentioned in my previous posts about taking my healing practice to the next level. I have been working on it.  Made a website - thevitalitycafe.com

I started earning some money too. Felt like, okay, we have come so far, lets see how far it goes.

One day, I got an opportunity to present it before a smaller group. I was very much hesitant at first.  The reason being, I was not sure if the group understood what energy healing is and secondly, how would they take it. May be their perception about me would change forever.

The lady who offered me the opportunity, told me prepare a presentation and we will show it to one of the organizers. If they agree, we will go ahead. I thought this is better. I started working on the presentation. I wanted to make it as simple as possible because I knew what kind of audience I was going to target.  The presentation was ready in video form!  I was surprised as to what I could produce...lol.  I went and showed it to the organizers and they agreed.  Wonderful, now what?

The presentation was a hit!  Here is what I showed finally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpM2JS7M6sg  I was bombarded with questions.  No problem, I tried to handle them to the best of my ability at that time.

I got a client from that place, who wanted to reduce her weight.  Here is where the goldmine was hidden. I told let us try. I have never worked on weight loss cases before, but I knew there was a protocol for it and it was possible through energy healing.

We tried for two sessions. Agreed to measure weight after third session.  Each session had a gap of two days in between. She measured the weight at the end of second session.  Guess what?  She comes to me saying that she lost 2 Kgs!  I was speechless. Did not know what to say.  She told her target was to reduce 15kgs.

What I am trying to say here is that, the potential in this area is huge.  There is a ton of people out there who want to reduce weight. If it can be done by sitting at a given time for just 15-20 minutes a day, we it gold here.

I am really willing to dig deeper into this.  I am very very happy and excited about his. Hope to take it further, of course, with God's Grace.

When you ask for something you get it

Yes, my life has repeatedly proved to me that if I ask I get it.  The trick lies in the specifics of asking what you want.

The Universe or God is very smart.  He knows how to get His way out of our wish list.  But however, our task is to keep asking.

The Inner voice told me to make the website The Vitality Cafe.  The response was pretty good. I was really happy with how it was all going.  This vacation, I showed the site to my mother and she was impressed too.  What else could have I asked for?  I was expecting criticism from her, but I got appreciation instead.

But as you know, I want to keep asking.  I asked for a particular amount to be earned from it.  And there you go, the genie is at work.  I have been provided with a big opportunity to present about it. I am really happy and excited about this.

So to all my friends - keep asking.  The Wish list should be on always!  Life is to be loved and lived.

Over Energized!

Watching MSCo's videos gives you tremendous energy and if you meditate along with that it is more like an atomic bomb.

I was watching a class video, which was in 4 parts and doing most meditation and experiment with him.  In parallel, I was also doing some of my case filing work in computer while listening to lectures.  It is not a good practice I would say, but I just cannot watch videos without doing anything else.  I feel restless.  Well this is another story.

At the end when I did the twin hearts meditation led by MSCo, I really felt over-energized.  You know, this is why it is said do it in group.  The energy gets distributed and someone can come to your help.

I did not realize at that moment what was happening.  I did not formulate this word in my brain at that time.  All I felt was I needed to do more grounding and blessing.

I blessed everyone I could remember.  I did grounding.  But still, I could not manage to do physical exercises.  Somehow I was too much energized and my mind did not want to get out of the state I think.

You see, over-energized does not necessarily mean you tend to have more energy to do physical work.  Sometimes, you reach at such a blissful state, you do not want to come back.  It is like you reach in a different dimension.

This is the reason grounding is very very very necessary.  You need to come back completely to this physical world and get connected to earth.  Because, we still need to continue this physical life.

I had to continue blessing for 10-15 minutes before I could get normal.  It is funny, I put my hands over my sleeping husband and transferred all the energy.  Poor guy, he had no idea what happened.  He woke up early that day.  He still has no idea why.

He has found significant relief from cough now.

But, I have learned my lesson.  It is very much necessary to do physical exercises before and after meditation.  Blessing and grounding is a must.  It will always be a good practice to keep a list of people, projects and places you intend to bless.  This will save you from thinking at the time when you are over-energized.  There are less chances that you will find them at that time because you know you will not want to come back from that state. :)

Every Day is a New Day


One small post got published at the Energy Healing Directory blog.  Given below is a part of it.  Enjoy!
It is not about procrastinating the things or decisions to the next day thinking that tomorrow will bring something new, but it is definitely about having hope after doing the best you can Today in the moment.

Every Day is a new day – you can take a different route to work.

Every Day is a new day – you can try telling something differently to your spouse today.

Every Day is a new day – you can bring something new for your children.

Every Day is a new day – you can try that different cooking style.

Change will always make you feel good and alive. Instead of running away from change or chasing it, try and embrace it – you will feel drastic change and some day you will see, you are leading the Change.

Who I Am as a Writer with a Cause

A very interesting assignment I have received after quite a few years.  This seems to me like an SoP that I used to write for several programs enrollment.

Every writer has a cause.  There is always a reason to write.  No piece of writing is created without a cause or a reason.

For me, the causes to write have changed as I have changed and evolved with the learning from various experiences through time.

During my university years, I wanted to improve my English language, which is a second language for me so I have to make continuous efforts to keep it up to the mark, therefore I started writing a blog.  From that experience - writing and maintaining a blog, I realized that I had interest in writing and I could express myself well in writing.

I got a job in sales and marketing department, where I had to write lot of emails, marketing collateral, tutorials, web content etc.  I can say at that time I was writing for making people understand what they can do with the product they have bought or are going to buy.

I did not get time to write for self-expression during those times.  Now, after marriage, I tried writing the way I used to love doing and I could not.  I realized I had changed inside, but writing made me feel good and it was one of the medium to make me light from inside.  Lot of time had went by without this written self-expression and feelings analysis.

I started some exercises to get myself back on-track.  I usually write as it comes.  It is structured most of the times and I have to make very minor edits.  This happened when I wrote an article a few months back.  This was when I felt I was back!

During my renewal period, I used a technique, something I knew years back but did not use it too much.  I revised the fundamentals while I experienced this miraculous shift.  This is my cause at this time, at this stage in my life.  I want to have everybody experience the shift and become free from the unknown bondage.

Now the technique is quite simple but I found there was something to be done to make it such that it is easy for people to access it, like on a single click.  I found the online presence of it not very accessible and understand.  Since I had worked in sales and marketing department, I thought why not bring that experience to use for this cause.

And I started working on it.  The initial phase was very interesting.  This was a research phase to see what is available online and what is missing that I can add.  I was very much confused but there was something inside me that pushed me to work towards it for hours together.

I found a name after cancelling quite a few.  I also found a way to build a website with the theme that matches the name.  The process then went on.  I used to keep a pen and paper to write ideas when they popped up.  I got the tagline.

Again, I worked on and on for hours without knowing why I was doing it.  Something inside was pushing me.  The website took its wonderful shape with small and big features I wanted to add.  I had to google for days together to find/replace a widget on the site.

I am glad I worked on it and I have a very satisfactory site now.  People all over the world can access it and can get stress free, get rid of any disease (physical or mental) all at a few clicks.  All I have to do now is let people know that such a place exists online.  This is the reason I want to write. 

This is my cause.  I want people to know that they can have better lives easier and quicker than they think.  It is like you are at work in front of a computer and with few clicks you get rid of that nagging stressful thought in your mind!

If one wants to get rid of work stress before going home and does not have time for exercise or relaxation, just few clicks and there it is… one is stress-free.

If there is an ailment that one wants to get rid of, just few clicks everyday for few days depending on the ailment and there it is, one is free from it.

If there is any anger, addiction of obsession one needs to get rid of, just few clicks everyday for few days and one is free from it.

I want more and more people to know about this so they have a choice to get better lives and make smarter choices to enjoy what they already have.  Children are waiting at home for dad to come so they can enjoy movie together, but is dad energized to enjoy the movie with the kids?  He can be, with a few clicks before he leaves work.

Stress and Children

My article about stress and children recently got published on ezinearticles.com.  Here are a few salient points.


Think about a scenario. You are sitting on your chair thinking about an issue at work. Your child comes and shows his or her drawing to you. He/She is very excited that it was one appreciated in the class by the teacher. How would you react in this situation?

On the other hand, think that instead of thinking about work issue, you were thinking about options for next vacation destination. Would your response be different? If yes, then your stress is affecting your child even if there is no trigger for stress outburst.
What to do?
The only way is to find a mechanism to get rid of stress before facing your children during the end of the day.

How to get rid of stress?
There are a number of ways to get rid of your stress. Depending on your schedule and facilities available around you can choose one or more ways. You can have a light walk, exercise, play a sport, meditate or something similar. These are the ways in which you can independently get rid of your stress energy.

Can external agency help get rid of my stress?
Yes, you can use energy medicine. Call up your energy medicine practitioner friend and tell him or her to flush out stress from the body. Before you reach home, you are as good as new. Depending on the method the energy medicine practitioner uses, you might have to give some time to the process.

Make sure you are clean from stress energy so that your children are not affected and they get better supportive and motivating environment to grow and develop.

If you are online at work and have 15 minutes before you log off, just visit the Vitality Cafe and get recharged before even you step out of the office.

The Vitality Cafe is an online cafe that provides distant healing service. You can have a video or a chat session or have it as you like.

The Vitality Cafe

The Vitality Cafe - http://thevitalitycafe.weebly.com is my answer to the calling that has been pushing me since long.

I have been just working on this in a single direction not knowing why and what could be the result.  Surprisingly, this has turned out to be a very smart project.

Just day before yesterday, I blurted out about this to my husband.  It just came out and to my surprise, he was very very positive about taking this forward.  This positive nod just quadrupled my energy.

This is just amazing.  All the guys reading this, your positive nod matters a lot for your wives.  Just believe me it does.

I have been tempted to write more and more on this and work more on this.  I just wish this kicks off and my gut feeling says this will because you know this is the Calling!

Serenity

While one practices the healing, one becomes more and more sensitive to the energy of people. It becomes easier and easier to connect with others as the practice continues. This easier connection leads to better empathy - putting ones own self in others' shoes. This empathy then grows and grows. At this point, it is important for the healer to practice self cleansing, otherwise one may get negativity from the people they are trying to heal.

As the empathy grows, one can easily connect with the people around them in day to day activities. One gets easily connected with people they meet and understand them better - because they can empathize with them!

The result? There is better understanding and harmony around them. This results in deeper and deeper penetration of happiness which I call "Serenity"

Happiness Deep Down

There are some things that you do and it gives you happiness so deep down that you cannot describe it.  It is a wonderful feeling.  Somehow it is so much peace, serenity really really really inside of you.

I cannot say where because it is really deep. 

It is a blessing to have found out activities that give you this blissful feeling.

Yes, I have found it. 

I will not write more on it, but just share a smile/laugh with the following related story.

A man and a woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.

For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside.

She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000. He asked her about the contents.
"When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."
 
The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness.
"Honey," he said "that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?"

"Oh, that?" she said.  "That's the money I made from selling the dolls."

Feeling great to be nearing to the good old self again

Feeling amazingly refreshed after this workout.  This workout has proven to be a life saver for me more than once.  Thank you Diane Youdale.

It is really a great feeling to be back to the old self.  I also opened my Orkut account after so many days.  Somebody has rightly said,  "Never let the child inside you grow up"  I have realized this more after almost a year and a half of marriage.

Truly, it takes work to stay in marriage.  Sometimes people change so much that they loose themselves and then it is very hard to find what they like and what they do not.  Some of our mothers have been through this.

Our generation is fortunate that we have this so called Internet that connects us to old friends, help keep in touch with hobbies and lots more.  I feel it is a great medium to keep myself grounded at the same time it is tied with the danger to have oneself lost in something that is not good.  But it is like science, good as well as bad.  We need to make sure what we want out of it and have good control (self control).

Feeling like I did not sleep, but not tired...

Have you ever felt this?

This is the feedback I received recently from doing energy work on one of my friends.

She said, I woke up in the morning feeling as if I did not sleep but not really tired!  She also felt this is very funny. 

This is what happens in this world of Energy Medicine.  That is why I love it.  Every time you get a different experience.  Just like in meditation.

Work like this makes you realize life is waiting with a lot of surprises for you.  Let it surprise, it is mostly worth enjoying.

Earlier, when I used to work on her, I would receive feedback like - I felt like I got a sound sleep in years :)

This time the physical issue seems similar to previous one, but I suppose the reason has changed.  We both will still be working together in the next week. 

Waiting for more surprises to come!
