Live and Let Live

The reason I dedicate a part of my earnings to the rescue and care of street animals and wildlife is because there are so many people who want to hurt them, move them out of the way, destroy their habitat and simply profit off them. Animals are living, breathing cohabitants of Earth. They too have their feelings, and every right to this planet we call home. They can sense the fear and hatred in some people’s eyes towards them and will do whatever they can to protect themselves. If you brandish a stick at a street dog during your morning walks, he is going to look at you suspiciously and growl. If you do throw water at a group of monkeys searching for food because their habitat is destroyed they will come after you. Karma doesn’t miss a thing. Animals don’t expect you to love them, just accept them, cohabit and be kind.

With every Tarot reading, Reiki session, Meditation session or Workshop with Mita Bhan, a percentage of earnings goes towards the care of wildlife and street animals.

Did you know the sound of water is therapeutic?

Sitting by the ocean listening to the sound of the waves.

Raindrops on your window pane.

The gentle melodies of a waterfall.

The babbling of a stream.

Simply listening for a few minutes helps bring our bodies back to balance and allows us to reconnect with our inner essence. Regardless of how technically advanced the world is becoming we still need to connect with the source of Nature. Listening to the sound of running water has been proven to be an extremely effective way to detach, de-stress and find our own sense of harmony. Our brains respond to the sounds within minutes and if it’s not possible to get to a natural water body, the effect is the same with a recording or by bringing a small water fountain in your office or home.

Science too has proven that the human brain enjoys the power of relaxation brought upon by the sounds of Nature in real time or in a recording. The sounds of flowing water relax the central nervous system and some studies have revealed that people who listen to the sounds of nature especially water, are more productive and focussed than others.

So the next time you’ve had a sensory overload from listening to the sounds of traffic and construction, take out 5 minutes to listen to the sounds of water.

Meditation Symbols. The Falls

To see a waterfall or the Niagara Falls in particular during meditation means you are coming one level closer to you. As you go inwards you learn to befriend your essential self. Waterfalls a symbolise the letting go of a layer of emotion or conditioning that’s been holding you back. Sometimes the meditation is followed by an emotional release. When you let go of the pain, you learn to live again.

Some people are just consumed by their own negativity. They seek help but then start to argue, berate, belittle the person trying to help them. They refuse to acknowledge there could be a problem in their attitude or their way of looking at things and end up draining others with their refusal to see the positive in anything. It could be their anxiety, their fear or their bitterness that blocks them from receiving help, love and advice. And they end up frustrated and leaving loved ones and even those who try to help them drained. Recognise such people and protect your energy. It’s okay to say No to them. Block them from calling. And ignore their provocations. Saying No to someone who doesn’t want to be helped is simply an act of self preservation. Your first priority is to yourself regardless of what you do for a living or how they may be related to you. If someone disturbs your levels of inner peace, just say No.

Are you a Water Baby?

Do you generally like being in or around large bodies of water like the sea or the lake? Are your happiest childhood memories around splashing in the sea?

Do you find you are able to relax instantly with the sound of running water?

Chances are you’re a Water Baby who is most calm and natural around water. The curative powers of water are well known but water babies have a special affinity with these precious drops of existence.

 

According to alternative healing water heals at all levels – mind, body and soul. Here are a few practices involving water healing:

 

The Sound of Water is said to lower blood pressure, bring tranquility and clarity to the mind and reduce anger and sadness as it allows us to look at our problems objectively and with calm.

 

The science of Hydrotherapy uses water to rejuvenate, maintain and bring back health. Treatments could range from steam baths, foot baths to the application of compresses. Aquatic physiotherapy involves bringing relief and mobility to the joints in a heated pool environment as well as spinal and orthopaedic ailments to name a few.

 

Water is vital to our survival and our healing. Water not only cleans our skin but detoxifies us internally and soothes us on the mental plane.

 

In Ayurveda, sipping hot water throughout the day aids and strengthens the digestive system and promote inner balance.

 

The Water element is one of the 5 basic elements or characteristics of Chi in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Every one of us is a unique blend of the influences of all the elements – namely water, wind, earth, fire and metal. Symbolising the kidney and the bladder, imbalances in the water element leads to ailments like water retention, infertility, night sweats and anxiety.

 

Used in traditional purification rituals in almost all cultures, Water in its essence symbolizes purity, cleanliness and peace.

 

Water heals inside and out. Even if we’re not water babies we still need it to live and stay healthy in the body, in the mind and in the soul. Drinking 8 glasses is a widely recommended by all doctors for hydration and inner harmony.

I’ve been keeping my senses open to Mother Nature now consciously more than ever. My teachers have taught me to listen with my eyes, feel with my ears, touch with my heart and tune into what I hear. Here goes:)

Rain – the most natural detox on this planet, where every thing and everyone is given the opportunity to purify and renew and rejoice –

The plants were laughing in the rain like preschoolers in a pool.

The Sea doesn’t judge you. You are perfect as you are. Black, white, rich or poor, gay or straight, here there. Be like the sea, let every experience just flow.

Pleasant surprises are everywhere – in the crack of the muddy pavement, even after a storm.

And on that happy note, I wish you a day full of pleasant surprises!
