Screaming bosses, manipulative co-workers, stressful work, dingy workplace, inadequate facilities…. can you analyse what is common in all these situations? Well, in energy terms, all of them are low in energy.

The power of a karta

by

We have all heard the story of how a rotten apple when placed in a basket of healthy apples, has the power and ability to ‘spoil’ the entire bunch. Biologically speaking, this occurs because the rotting apple gives off ethylene, which speeds up the ripening of the other apples. We do not know if this … Read more

Mystery of the phrase

by

Ordinarily, we use many expressions and phrases to express ourselves. Often, they are unrelated to the actual symptom, yet we understand exactly what that sentence or phrase means. You will be amazed to know that most of these oft-used phrases have a relation to energy movements in the body. Here are some of the more famous ones:

“Responsibility weighs very heavily on his shoulders”: Why shoulders? Why not the hands or legs? Why shouldn’t we say “Responsibility weighs very heavily on his little toe”?

Your garden determines your energy

by

The next time you travel by road, observe the various ways in which people keep their balcony gardens. Some would be having the pots neatly arranged, the plants well-pruned, the garden area clean, the plant varieties correctly chosen – basically, a balcony garden that accentuates the beauty and homeliness of the house. On the other hand are gardens where the plants grow wildly on dirty pots; some of them not watered for weeks, dry leaves and stems hanging loosely – looking much like unkempt hair searching for direction in life.

You can judge the amount of energy that will be entering a household by simply observing the way the family takes care of its garden. When you grow a plant, you are actually nurturing a seed of energy. Your plant’s growth is directly proportional to the amount of care and effort you put in.

The Art of being Simple

The Art of Being Simple

Einstein

 

 

 

 

  • Do you lead your life on your terms, or do you just allow your life to lead you?
  • Do you feel trapped without the trappings of a upper middle-class lifestyle?
  • Do you find television soap operas dictating how much and when you should spend time with your family?
  • Have you experienced the 'freedom' of being without a mobile phone?
  • Do you feel lost and left out when your friends' excitedly discuss about the latest gadgets that they have, that you don't?

If you tick 'yes' to any or all of this, don't worry, you are not alone. Most of us live this complex life. So much so, that we have forgotten how to be simple. We get stuck with jobs that we can't leave because of some or the other loan on our heads. We fall for marketers' tricks, buy more (often on credit) and then spend the rest of our lives, trying to earn to support our 'lifestyle'.
So, is there a way out?
Yes. If you're already addicted to conspicuous consumption, it will take some getting used to. But it is possible to own your own life if you are determined to do it. How? Simplify!! Being simple is an art not many are able to master. The trouble with simple living is that, though it can be joyful, rich, and creative, it isn't simple.  And the definition of simplicity is also quite warped.
