Are you ready for an adventure?

How much do you know yourself? Besides your likes and dislikes; what are your deepest fears, desires. Are you aware of the internal self-talk, thoughts, behaviour patterns, what triggers you, how you react or respond, how does outside energy effect you, what kind of relationships do you attract, what is your idea of abundance, what gifts do you have to share, what’s your purpose in life, why you here, what is your super power etc.

Getting to know oneself is a lifelong process. A journey that begins with one word.. Curiosity.It is the most fulfilling relationship one can have. Because if you can’t be with yourself, how do you expect others to be with you. An adventure into the unknown; a calling..to discover aspects and gifts deep within, you weren’t even aware of. 

I began this journey of self-discovery more than a decade ago. Through this period of time, I went through many challenges, turmoil’s, difficulties be it physical, mental and emotional. There were many moments when I just gave up. But it was in those experiences of rock bottom that something beautiful deep within me always revealed itself and gave me the strength to keep going on. Gradually, a deep sense of acceptance and surrender is what I started feeling within. This glimpse of bliss was like an addiction that pushed me deep into knowing more about myself. The more hidden parts within that I uncovered, a new me kept emerging and the lighter I felt. Healing imprints of my past that were no longer required. Some that belonged to me, some that I had taken on from others unknowingly by giving my power away and some that came to me inherently from the ancestral lineage; un-conditioning the mind from what was to what is and truly tuning into my intuitions to live from my heart space… the journey so far has been truly enriching. An opportunity in every obstacle. Today when I look back and see how far I have walked, I always remind myself to take a moment to appreciate and express gratitude to myself for following the call of adventure, all the people I met on the way who helped and supported me in various ways and to the universe for choosing me to experience and live it.

Just like I rediscovered wholeness within myself through guidance and support from the universe and mentors who have walked the path before me at various stages of my journey, I would like to share it forward with you if you feel called.

Dancing lamaleads you on your adventure of metamorphosis; holding space for you whilst you experience your own journey, sharing teachings and techniques, spiritual guidance, healing sessions and workshops and guiding you so you too may find your passion, balance, inner harmony and true self and share it with others.

Are you ready for an adventure?

U have a beautiful smile most say.. yes I do; I respond.. adding that it's a gift from the universe for signing up to learn the lessons I chose before being born.  The lessons that would guide others to believe in their own light when they learn that behind that beautiful smile are moments of intense pain that have endured sleepless times, wet pillows with swollen teary eyes, howling cries in the silent nights..; loneliness in crowded spaces, toxic pain of family ties, pangs of overwhelming helplessness, spirals of anxiety against fight of mind, lose of hope & darkness amidst beautiful sunshine.. but always ending with a feeble prayer to make things alright. Walk through it all and when u survive, there comes a moment when u cross a line. accepting, surrendering, trusting the divine... 

& then a small stem of courage rises up in the heart, filling u with light and a blissful pause. Devoid of any pain or pleasure, everything evokes a smile and that's the blessing of prayers & faith in the divine The :)

When u remove the I from I am, u merge into the universe and then whatever flows through u is grace.. the universe working through u, wherein ur physical body is just a medium for the universe to let it's magic work through; into anything and anyone that requires exactly what is needed in a given moment.. love, light, compassion, healing, trigger to transform, and sometimes just the right words to steer the sails into the right direction. 

When u remove the I from I am, a deep sense of detachment arises from within.. a detachment that gives birth to a heartfull of selfless passion. Where the outcomes don't matter anymore as long as u keep doing what the universe is guiding u to. 

When u remove the I from I am, physical intimacy becomes divine coz u making love to the divine.. beyond the physical body, beyond pleasures for oneself but to just give. When every molecule melts into union into infinity everytime to be born a new again into a brighter smile, glowing aura, raised frequency and in alignment with the only essence the universe is made of.... LOVE.. the beginning & the end._ AM

Be You.

The journey, so called life isn’t easy or hard… it’s simply very simple and therefore we love to complicate it. Most of us are not comfortable with the word ‘Simple or Simplicity’. We attribute it to more boring, dull, lack of fire or enthusiasm. So we more than often end up complicating stuff for ourselves and love cribbing about it and categorize it as too difficult. Let’s say…. Consider the time most of us take in selecting an ice-cream flavour? We ask for a tiny spoonful of this, umm no; maybe that.. and then finally after some three four tastings instead of zeroing on which one to order we are like.. oh baby.. I like that but this one better. Which do I take honey? And if you the boyfriend and say take both… trust me you are either dead or very lucky ;D . If  you the girlfriend.. well let’s not even get there. The problem is choosing but not just being satisfied with it. If you were hanging at the edge of a cliff, would you be thinking should I let go and fall upside down or downside up? At some moment, you’d just have to let go. You can’t be stuck there forever irrespective of the consequences. The consequences is what complicates it for us. Rather the assumption of consequences. The if’s and but’s of English vocabulary.

The language of the heart doesn’t come with these connectives. It just is. The language of the heart is simple. Do what makes you happy. Period. At the end of it as well as the beginning, all that matters is your own happiness. Unless you happy, nothing around you can be happy. Your outside environment is a mere reflection of how you feel on the inside. And lets be very clear… No one else can make you happy. Your happiness is your own responsibility.

 It’s not dependent on anyone or anything. And if it is; then its bound to be momentary. Happiness is a state of being. It’s already inherent within you. You are born happy. It’s just that you have forgotten that birth right. Simplicity is that happiness. Simplicity isn’t boring…. It’s actually being truly authentic, true to oneself. It’s about standing in front of the mirror and asking oneself… does this resonate with my heart? That little voice within, which very faintly keeps knocking at the tiny door and most of us choose instead to turn up the radio volumne than to listen to it. It’s high time we paid heed to that little voice within us and tuned that radio to a different frequency. A frequency of the Universe called “LOVE”. It’s about time we all came together to broadcast the same message and dance to the same tune ‘ We are the World’. It’s about time you stood up for being who you truly are “ Just U ”.. and not someone else’s  perception of who you should be. If you extremely proud of all those masks you have collected over the years and very systematically stored in your inner closet; Think again…. Maybe Now is the time for a through self cleaning. So that it becomes much more Simpler to Simply Be YOU.

Just a Thought

Sometimes people come into our life and we know right away that they were meant to be there....To serve some sort of purpose, teach us a lesson, help us figure out who we are and can become. We never know who these souls are but when you lock eyes with them, the profound feeling of knowing in that moment is enough to say it all. Many a times painful, unfair and horrible circumstances is what we encounter; making us question the very basics of our existence here. But in reflection on those times one finds that without those obstacles there would be no growth, no realization of one's strength and potential to be a step forward in what we actually can be. Everything happens for a reason, neither good or bad. It happens because its just meant to happen; coz thats the very best for us. Theres a much broader perspective than our feild of vision. We are childrens of that One who created us from itself and that One knows what is best for us. Nothing that you incapable of will ever be offered to you. To make the best out of it is our responsibility. Without these challenges, this journey we call life would be boring, dull and pointless. 

When someone hurts you, betrays you and breaks your heart.... Forgive them. For they have taught you about trust. When someone loves you, love back unconditionally. Not because they love you but because they are teaching you to open your heart and fill it with the most strongest and only emotion on which this universe works. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can..the feelings, sensations, thoughts etc. Speak to people who you have never spoken to and actually Listen. Fill yourself with love and compassion. You cant spread happiness unless you become it. Today is the tomorrow; you were worried about yesterday. 

HAIKU

HAIKU

Swaying to the tune; she dances 

Lost in a world of unknown trance

The flow of her nape arouses

Desires rooted, deep down in my heart.

A kaleidoscopic canvas fills my eyes

A misty cool feeling satiates my mind

One hue with rays of shades

A picture or a painting

I can rarely say.

Shooting stars across the sky

Colourful they turn as my wish is granted by

Slowly they disappear into the dark night

Filling me with hope for another starry night.

Lost in the world, against the bright light

She stands alone by herself

Trying to seek solace in the world of her mind

Where hope is the beginning of each new day.

He stares at her, whilst she's looking away

Making a promise he'll take her away

That is what she too dreams about

Contemplating its not just, too late....

December Magic

Have you ever felt love? This question may sound quite crazy to you and most of you reading this must think im crazy which albeit is very much true :) but still....have u felt love? Most of us associate love with an emotion we feel for some person that makes us feel good. But thats restricted convenience. Coz that very same person when pisses you off, also takes the emotion of love right out of the window.

Love in its purest form is unconditional; for everyone and everything around you and within you. It doesnt differentiate or discriminate. It just flows and fills you up. Love is the joy of giving, without expectations. Unconditional love is inspiring. It helps you grow, brings you courage, makes you realize the beautiful vast potential that we have within us. But why am I talking about love?

December is one of my most favourite time of the year. Right from the clear blue skies to the chilly winter mornings.. From hot pakodas to old monks, planning party schedules to putting up the christmas tree and then finally working out new year travel options to the zillions of new year resolutions that are emptied immediately with the next bottle of beer down. December is the month of magic. The magic of Love. 

As I soak in the love, I run through all the beautiful moments this year has given. A gift from the universe. A gift for which I have nothing but immense gratitude for. A recent ritual I have started owing to this gratitude is getting up every morning and thanking the universe first thing for just giving me another oppurtunity to spread love and a new day to marvel and learn from its beauty. 

Love is not just about romance.. Its about the experience it fills you with. The small peck on the forehead from the person you love to the innocent smile from a child in the supermarket.. Small conversation with the maid working in your house to saying hello to the building watchman. All these acts are expressions of love. Expressing it can be done in a dozen ways but the emotion itself is formless. Its complete. 

To love, one needs to be in love with oneself. Only when you filled with it; is when you can share it with everyone around. Try walking through the grass bare foot and feel the romance between your feet and the grass. Splash around in water and soak in the love the water fills you up with. Close your eyes, look towards the sun and feel its warmth just for you. Similarly, hold the little finger of the person you love and walk a mile in silence. Communication in love requires no words. Its when you go within yourself, unearth the abundance of love that lies unkown in the heart, accept it and then cherish the feeling of renewal evertime you share that love with anyone and anything.
