We all have to admit, that we all have problems and issues in our lives we are all trying to work through.

How to Rejuvenate each and every Relationship in your life ~ Happy Relationships Series

‘The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships.’~ Anthony Robbins

In the last article in this series I spoke of and discussed the immediate need for us to begin loving our-self before we can do any justice to any of the relationships in our lives.

There was a certain cycle of a Happy Relationship that I shared, which is : self love-give love-heal-self love.

In this part lets discuss  ’giving love’ to actually rejuvenate our existing relationships and even make new ones. What do I actually mean by rejuvenate? I mean, infuse *life* in our already existing relationships around us. How? Now aint that the pressing question of the hour ;) Continue reading

Revealing the Essence of Our Being ~ Sunday Self-Reflection

“Life is a train of moods like a string of beads; and as we pass through them they prove to be many colored lenses, which paint the world their own hue, and each shows us only what lies in its own focus.”~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

This glorious Sunday I’m thinking about Essence. I’m thinking about that Essence that is revealed when we have found or touched Depth. You know what I mean…I’m talking about that amazing calm, glowy, light, airy feeling we get when we see those who are already Spiritually evolved. That certain essence is present in each and every one of us. After-all, we Are Beings of Light first. This body is just a vessel for that being of light.

I can hear you ask the question : How can I reveal my beings True Essence? The answer is simple and oh so do-able! Continue reading

What is Your Life’s Message?

“Our own life has to be our message.” Thich Nhat Hanh

Our message is our life.

But what is your message and how does your life compare in contrast? Lets think about this for a bit.

If you think of role models for this particular way of living Gandhi, Mother Teresa …come to mind. They walked their talk. They lived. They taught. They inspired. They brought about revolutions in good conscious living. They LIVED their message of love, peace and compassion. Their life story is still fragrant with their message and will forever be.

Again I ask YOU, What are You Living today? What is your Life’s message? Continue reading

How to Crush Your Travel Fears

“A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.”  ~Lao Tzu

I have to admit that I’ve always loved loved loved traveling, but since my little one was born nearly 4 years back ( ok not so little anymore ;) ) I had this not so positive feeling when it came to traveling with her. I kept thinking, I’ll need to travel with so much stuff, and my child’s moods, tantrums etc etc. But in time I’ve realized those fears were baseless. The reason for coming to this conclusion is once you HAVE TO travel, the experience itself teaches you so much. It makes you realize that those fears were all in your head, and reality is far more simpler than that.
Just in the past year, I’ve traveled so many times I can’t even count. I was over the fear of traveling with my little one after my first airplane ride when she was eight months old, but the motivation to travel MORE Fearlessly came from The Fear Crushing Travel Guide. Read on to know how brilliant Farnoosh, the creator of this guide is at Traveling and all else :) I had the amazing chance to interview this jet setting gal…the result is below. Enjoy!  Continue reading

Thoughts can be replaced by cultivating other thoughts; destructive thoughts with constructive ones, negative ones with corresponding positive ones.
