“I get these awful headaches during work lately, my sleep is poor, I can’t seem to stop thinking about what people said or did and I’m uneasy” – Project Lead, Multinational Bank

“I cannot trust my Boss. He’s stealing credit for my work and putting me down all the time. There are some mornings when I’m too tired to wake up to my alarm.” Client Servicing Manager

“She doesn’t care about loyalty, she only cares about the amount of money I can generate for her. I feel she is using me for her own gains and now my back pain has begun again” Sales Consultant

“This place is full of gossip and rumours, Nobody looks happy” Financial Analyst, MNC

If any of these statements rings a bell, you know you’re in a toxic work environment and you need to take immediate steps before it robs you of happiness totally.

A Few Tips

  1. Start an exit strategy.

You can wait till things get better but at what cost? Update your resume and start looking for options.

2. Practice Self Care Daily

Do something that’s positive and beneficial for your mental and physical health. Walking Meditations. Swimming. Regular Ayurvedic Massages. Dance. Something that shakes away the toxic energies that you may be absorbing in your work environment.

3.Connect with Nature

Even if it’s walking barefoot in a nearby park, or tending to a flowerpot allow Nature to heal you while you disconnect from the office

4. Be with your Loved Ones

Sometimes all it takes is a hug from a child. Or a cup of tea made by a friend to remind you that you’re special.

Peace of mind is precious. Physical health even more precious. Never be with someone or some place that’s making you sick. For more insights on toxic workplaces get in touch and we’ll see what the Tarot has to say about a way forward for you.

A man who’s mind was way ahead of his times. A self confessed madman who mesmerised the world with his words, his eyes and even his Rolls Royce’s. Who’s words still jump out of the page and shake me out of my stupor. Thank you Osho for the wake up call.

When You Don’t Heed Your Calling

Q “There’s a weird low level anxiety in the bottom of my stomach that’s constant. I’m unhappy because somewhere I feel I’m missing the mark. I should be doing something with my Life. I mean why was I born. I’m only doing this freelance project to make my parents happy but this is not me. They don’t understand what’s happening to me. They’ve both worked hard to reach where they have. When I graduated a few years ago, I started a business to do something for the environment but it failed. I want to start another business around recycling plastic items but I’m scared of failing again. What clues can you give me about my Life Purpose?”

A

The low level anxiety you feel is your own inner self telling you not to hide behind the screen but to go out to Nature, where you feel happiest, where you are most inspired to make a difference. One failure doesn’t define who you are and what you could be born to do. And clearly it is to do something for our planet….

No one can tell you exactly why you were born. And not every Life Purpose is a vocation. You’ve been given clues all your life. And your biggest clue is happiness.

King of Cups, Cat Deck, personal collection

As the sun went down she began to feel a little lost. The forest seemed denser, quieter with a deep underlying hum in the air. And the path was anything but smooth. She approached a small ditch surrounded by mossy rocks and algae – so very very slippery.

“Whoops”

“I got you”

A warm hand clasped her arm firmly. But it was too dark now to tell who it was. He felt safe. So safe she didn’t feel like rising from the pile of musty leaves, she was hoping he’d just pick her up.

And he did.

In his even warmer arms, he carried her across the forest in most delicious loving silence she could ever imagine. When they reached the road he put her down and she thanked him. They laughed a little and melted each other’s souls with their gazes. They knew they’d never feel this way with anyone else. And she knew she’d found her King.

One of the most loving men in the Tarot deck is the King of Cups, balanced, generous and with the gift of making a woman feel special and safe. If a King of Cups is significant in your life right now how about a Love Reading or Report to find out more about him and you. Get in touch with me at mita.bhan@gmail.com for details

The Wounded Palate

The most delicious desserts will never sweeten the one with the bitter breath.

He will always complain.

“Oh the presentation is bad.

Too many berries!

Lousy chocolate

“Ugh it tastes horrible”

He will spit on your table, scrape the chair backward

And head for the door.

Before you look at the mess he’s left behind, please walk him to the door and thank him for coming

and do ask him if you could sample

one of his desserts.

He will mumble something about not knowing how to cook, or

not having the time, or not finding the recipe. He may even look you

in the eye and tell you he can’t make desserts. And how his Father told him he couldn’t do a darn thing.

And that’s when you catch a glimpse of a young boy who was never praised, or approved, or accepted or encouraged. The harsh critiques he gives others freely and shamelessly are nothing compared to his self critiques. And the voices he heard as a child – he heard them so much he began to believe them, and eventually spew them on others.

For a second he looks at the door knob before stepping out and asks you how he can start making desserts.

You tell him to start by approving of himself.

Chances are he’ll slam the door on you grumbling to himself about incompetent cooks who waste his precious money.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Let go trying to fix something that cannot be fixed. No matter how hard you try some people are just not going to understand you, or appreciate what you bring to the table. Detach from trying too hard. And divert your attentions to more positive and productive ventures. A relationship falls apart but you deep down you knew it would didn’t you? Take each step as it comes and keep walking. A good month to make a presentation or write from the heart, your words will be heard and appreciated. One warning, watching your spending, make sure to keep some aside for a rainy day.

Lucky Colour – Light Blue

Taurus (Apr 20- May 20)

Your hard work begins to show results. Expect incremental gains, praise and support from those around you. A wonderful period for students or those appearing for exams, the cards foretell that your efforts will be rewarded. Those wishing to upgrade their skills may sign up for a course or pursue a hobby. Just don’t get so focussed on work and money that you begin to neglect your family. On the health front, your digestive system may require a little more care and attention.

Lucky Colour – Coppery Gold

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

You’ve come a long way baby. And only you know how much you’ve slogged to get where you are. The coast is clear. And the future is bright. What changes can you bring into your life? What new habits would you like to let go of? Financially the cards foretell a steady improvement. Healthwise you start seeing positive results with your new diet/exercise plan. And in terms of personal life, you may choose who you’d like to be with. Not everyone who is friendly is your friend and you’ve learnt to see through their masks.

Lucky Colour – Sea Green

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

The amazing thing about you is your perserverence. You don’t give up easily. And when you take up a challenge or a cause, you know you’re in it for the long run. This month sees you at your sharpest and most determined to get through whatever obstacle you’ve been facing. Your optimism is infectious and people will be drawn to you so if you’re single expect quite a bit of attention. An older woman’s advice will be valuable. A great month to mix business with pleasure. Look forward to smooth negotiations, surprising results and a twist in a relationship.

Lucky Colour – Magenta

Leo (July 23- Aug 22)

A sudden shock or a pleasant surprise? Expect the unexpected this month. Relationships could sour or intensifty. You could resign in a moment of anger. Or be promoted in a sudden move. Anything but boring May brings a lot of activity and action into your life. And if you love the attention, then a certain someone may reciprocate. Keep your eyes and ears open to new opportunities, an idea that’s brewing today could materialise into something very successful later. Don’t get stuck in the comfort zone.

Lucky Colour – Turquoise

Virgo (Aug 23- Sept 22)

Ouch. If you didn’t pay attention to their warnings this month may bring a few disappointments your way. People will continue to let you down until you figure out what you’re doing. Make this a month to communicate. With your loved ones and your co workers. Repressing emotions will only lead to suffering. Your concerns about your finances may lead to wrong decisions. If a special someone is giving you mixed signals or ignoring you, it may be time to let go of expectations.

Lucky Colour – Emerald Green

Libra (Sept 23- Oct 22)

After a phase of disappointments, delays and obstacles, May brings sweet relief. Doors open, documents get signed, new opportunities begin to come your way. How can you do things differently?

A reunion of old friends could bring back some happy memories. Surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you.

Lucky Colour – Gold

Scorpio (Oct 23- Nov21)

Faith will take you places you never once imagined. Your spiritual side awakens to seek answers which you’ve been holding on to for too long. Turn to meditation or prayer for solace. A significant woman in your life may expect things her way, and you will have no choice but to be more open minded to differing ways of thinking and doing. Healthwise you may need to pay extra attention to a recurring problem and find ways to change your daily habits. Money owed to you will be returned.

Lucky Colour – White

Saggitarius (Nov 22- Dec 21)

This month sees you busy preparing for a future event. Your strong need to establish yourself is visible to the world as you work hard to meet your goals. People will be cooperative but don’t take them for granted. Gratitude will go a long way. Don’t overthink matters, what appears to be a mountain is actually a molehill. In matters of the heart you’re pretty clear about the kind of relationship you want and will not compromise on your standards. Things are going to work out better than you think. Keep the faith.

Lucky Colour – Orange

Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan19)

Change is in the air but you won’t feel the effects yet. Frustrations and restrictions may make you feel like quitting, but please don’t. Good things come to those who wait. And plan. Get your papers organised, write down your goals, make a joblist and this month will proceed smoother than you imagined. Unexpected luck or help comes your way, and a friendship could turn into a love affair. Couples may decide to move homes or build something together. One tip, don’t believe your negative thoughts!

Lucky Colour – Mauve

Aquarius (Jan 20- Feb 18)

Watch out for signs of irritability and impatience. You may be repressing feelings and ignoring the signs your body is giving you. Instead of lashing out on people, take some “me time” to bring back the peace. You may be doing too much for others and it’s time to pull back a little and take care of your needs. A long talk with a dear friend could be just the thing you need. A letter may upset you or you may write a letter in a moment of anger. Pause before you react. If you find your better half a little distant, take time out to clear matters. Listen to what is not being said.

Lucky Colour – Steel Grey

Pisces Feb 19- Mar20)

This month will be busy. It’s time to roll up your sleeves and complete the growing pile of jobs you need to get done. No more procastinating. Time to be accountable for your actions and avoid binge watching or escaping. Refuse to allow self doubts to creep and replace them with confident thoughts. A month which favours career growth and international travel the cards urge you not to get complacent. Opportunities won’t knock twice. Friendships may take the back seat while you meet deadlines. And if married, reassure your spouse you’ll soon be back to your loving, attentive self, once the work gets completed.

Lucky Colour – Navy Blue

The scent of oranges have been scientifically proven to be an instant pick me up especially if you’re anxious or depressed. The anti-depressive and anxiolytic properties of orange work well in the form of essential oils or even just keeping a bowl of powdered orange peel in your room allows this “happy scent” to help you let go a little.

Karmic Relationships – Inescapable, Unavoidable

21 Sunday Apr 2019

“Shattered” by Shreekant Palapally

A beautiful explanation on Karmic relationship by Vijay Reddy –

“The relationship that drives people crazy with anger and frustration are from a past life. These are the people who really get under your skin and exasperate you endlessly. Very often, these karmic relationships are with people in your immediate family.

Karmic relationships mean that you’ve had prior lifetimes with this person, and you both were sent back to be together to work things out peacefully. This was your soul’s choice, although it was probably highly pushed upon you by your guides and angels who helped you script out much of your life. Usually a karmic relationship is someone with whom you had a battle or other harsh circumstances. You returned together in this lifetime to ensure that you’d work things out, and clear both of your energies.

If you don’t clear the energies in this lifetime, you’ll be pressured to continue to incarnate with this soul again and again and again.

And each lifetime, his or her relationship to you will continue to be close, either through genetics and familial bonds, or through friendship, marriage, or career. So, that annoying co-worker could be your mother or husband next lifetime unless you clear the energy with her in this one.

You’re brought together with the other soul so that you can forgive him or her. This doesn’t mean forgiving their actions. It means detoxing your soul by releasing anger toward them. You don’t have to hang out with the person, but you do need to release old pent-up toxic feelings. Holding in old anger is caustic and unhealthful.

It’s also a waste of time and energy to blame that person for family dramas and your own upset. Blaming is a projection of our ego, where we don’t own our own shadows and ego issues, and we put them in the basket labeled: “It’s their fault.” And while it may be true that that person is the instigator of traumas, blaming him or her doesn’t help the situation and doesn’t balance the karma between you.

Breaking the Karmic Cycle

The first step to break this karmic cycle is for you to take responsibility for its presence in your life. Your soul agreed to be with this person because it was necessary for your spiritual progress. So forgiving yourself is the ultimate secret to healing everything in all directions of time.

This involves forgiving yourself for entering this relationship whenever you did in the distant past lifetime. You probably were given red-flag warnings by your angels then, which you chose to ignore or override. Forgive yourself for ignoring those red flags, and vow to listen from now on. Life lessons only count if we learn from them.

You get infuriated by how this person behaves. But this is how this individual’s personality works and has always worked. You were the one who chose to try to be in a relationship with him or her long, long ago. You were the one who decided that all of those red flags that your angels sent you didn’t matter. You were the one who decided that you could change or fix the person.

Now it’s time to let go of that fantasy that this person could be as you desire or dream him or her to be. You’re not the other person’s Source, nor are you the author of his or her life scripts.

Karmic relationships are akin to having a tug-of-war. They’re power plays, where one person will pull and the other person will pull back. No one wins in karmic power plays. But when one person drops his or her side of the rope (through the process of forgiving him- or herself for getting into this tug-of-war in the first place), the power struggle stops.

Use prayers for forgiveness for other and self.
Saying bless you to the soul.
Find reasons to be grateful.
Learn the lessons by asking them to be revealed.
