Every morning while walking around the apartment complex I encounter all kinds of people. Dog walkers with their portly Labradors. The Security Guards getting ready for the change in their shift. Fellow walkers. Everyone silent and lost in their mechanical world of thoughts and wants, just like me.

For the past week or so I’ve been trying to incorporate the Buddhist practice of Metta during my walk. Wishing every single soul I walk by freedom from anger and enmity, wishing them happiness and all the positive energy possible, silently in my mind. This practice makes me so happy I had to share it. And the greater bit of happiness is they will never know I’m doing it. Please don’t tell them either:)

The Goddess Within

Daily chores and duties tend to make us genderless robots. Made of metal on the outside and a joblist in the inside, we are all expert multi taskers, mechanical beings. And then we get so lost we sometimes fall ill or just feel miserable inside.

Whenever I find myself overwhelmed by this “worldly ” process I take 3 deep breaths and go within. That’s when I feel her power, the Great Feminine, she’s like a soft burn of the candle flame and the light caress of the veil across my lips. She’s the arrow up my spine and her glance feels like the welcome blast of an airconditioner on a hot Summer’s day. She nurtures me and I emerge re-energised and re-connected.

It’s great to be a woman

Being an Indian woman has been both a blessing and a curse. There have been times in all our lives when we’ve wondered why we were ever born. Few celebrated our birth and many told our parents why they stopped at 2 GIRLS, why didnt they “try for a boy”. We’ve seen the look in the eyes of many men. We’ve been ignored. We’ve been silenced and “put in our place”  And yet we know we’re the rocks.  Thrown about, stepped on and callously strewn about, but  there’s still something unbreakable within our souls, a strength or Shakti that’s there in every woman on this planet. A force so divine and so indescribably powerful that I can only humbly say I’ve only tapped into a teeny weeny piece of it and I’ve only recently begun to understand why it’s great to be a woman.

Over the following posts I will be exploring Womanhood with meditation and my trusted deck of cards and sharing my learnings. Your feedback as always, is welcome:)
