I strive to live my life with detachment. I recently had an AHA moment when I recognized how much I was suffering due to getting attached to situations unfolding around me. I was getting swept away by emotions and stories that I was telling myself based on feedback from the outside. I moved from being attached to starting to silently witness Life unfolding around me, consciously reinforcing detachment into my subconscious system.

This quote beautifully describes detachment in my opinion.

“Detachment is experiencing our feelings
without allowing them to control us.
We step back and look at things objectively.
We let go and accept what we cannot change.
We detach from others’ choices,
knowing that their spiritual work is not ours to do.
We choose how we will act rather than just reacting.
We step away from harmful cravings.
Detachment is a deep breath of peace
and patience in response to unexpected anger.
We can listen without losing ourselves.
With detachment, we see our mistakes
honestly make amends and start afresh.
Detachment allows us to be in the world but not of it.
It frees us to lead our lives with grace.”

What small practice will you introduce this week to break out of default habits and patterns?

Namaste,

Arra törekszem, hogy az életemet érzelmi leválásban éljem. Nemrégiben volt egy AHA-pillanatom, amikor felismertem, hogy mennyire szenvedek, mert érzelmileg teljesen bekapcsolódtam a körülöttem kialakuló helyzetekbe. A külső visszajelzések alapján teljesen bevonódtam az érzelmekbe és a történetekbe, amiket mondtam magamnak. Aztán tudatosan elmozdultam az erős érzelmi bevonódástól az érzelmi leválás felé, hogy csendben tanúja legyek annak, ahogyan az élet kibontakozik körülöttem. Megerősítettem az érzelmi leválást a tudatos rendszeremben.

Ez az idézet szerintem szépen leírja a leválasztást:

“A leválás az érzelmeink megtapasztalását jelenti, anélkül, hogy hagynánk, hogy irányítsanak minket.
Hátralépünk és objektíven nézünk rá a dolgokra.
Elengedjük és elfogadjuk, amin nem tudunk változtatni.
Leválunk mások döntéseiről, emlékeztetve magunkat, hogy a z ő spirituális útjukat nem nekünk kell bejárni.
Megválasztjuk, hogy hogyan cselekedjünk, ahelyett, hogy csak reagálunk.
Elhagyjuk a káros vágyakozást.
A leválás a béke és a türelem mély lélegzete a váratlan haragra válaszul.
Hallgathatunk anélkül, hogy elveszítjük a fejünket.
Leválással őszintén látjuk a hibáinkat, módosítunk, és újrakezdünk.
A leválás lehetővé teszi számunkra, hogy létezzünk a világban, de ne a részeként.
Felszabadít bennünket, hogy kegyelemmel vezessük az életünket.”

Milyenkis gyakorlatot vezetsz be a héten, hogy kitörj alapértelmezett szokásokból és mintákból?

Interconnectedness

I am marveled by the interconnectedness of Beings. We have the exact same feelings, frustrations, anxieties no matter where we come from. I bow down in reverence and awe of the workings of this beautiful place that we call the Universe.

Kapcsolódások

Ámulatba ejtenek az emberek kapcsolódásai. Mindegy honnan jöttünk, ugyanazokat az érzelmeket, frusztrációkat, szorongásokat éljük meg. Tisztelettel és áhítattal fejet hajtok ennek a csodálatos helynek a munkája előtt, amit Univerzumnak hívunk.

Rumi

 

“When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of distress and anxiety.

If I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, without pain.

From this, I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me.

There is a great secret in this for anyone who can grasp it.”

Peonies

unnamedI picked up peony flowers this morning from the market to complement the peony candle. The fragrance has filled up the living room. It’s a nice reminder to spread the fragrance. The choice is ours and ours alone.

What conscious choice will you make this week? How will this impact your Being as a result?

Bazsarózsák

Ma vásároltam bazsarózsákat a piacon, hogy kiegészítsem a bazsarózsa gyertyát. Az illat megtöltötte a nappait. Szép emlékezető, hogy terjesszük az illatot. A döntés a miénk, csakis a miénk.

Mi lesz a tudatos döntésed ezen a héten? Milyen hatással lesz a létezésedre ez a döntés?

Peony Petals

I was practicing my daily yoga ritual one morning while a peony petal candle was spreading its sweet fragrance. As this sweet fragrance overcame the room, the apartment, and my entire Being, I was filled with the striking beauty of life. I was in a place of peace, calm, tranquility and bliss.

The inspiration this candle and its fragrance gave me was to aspire to be sweet and fragrant wherever I go. I asserted to strive and spread my fragrance to those whose lives touch mine.

I had a magical experience immediately afterwards, when a client who came to me for a session walked out with several insights of her own. She felt free, clear, light and had released a bunch of old beliefs, habits, patterns that were not necessarily serving her.

I am grateful for the endless and continued supply of the most amazing candles from my youngest daughter who gifts them to me on a regular basis. She deserves to receive a big thank you from the innermost recesses of my heart. Gratitude dear one!

What will you declare to let go this week? What will you strive to achieve from a place of knowing, rigor and awareness?

Many of you who work with me know about my passion to practice dignity to self and others. This practice singularly changed my life when I was coached inside out at Newfield Network Colorado under the guidance of my master Julio Olalla.

When we learn to respect ourselves from a place of transparency, openness and brutal honesty, we learn to respect others and their needs. When we wear masks covering these attributes, we start living a life full of lies, dishonesty and denial.

Namaste,

Sokan közületek, akik velem dolgoztok, tudjátok, hogy mennyi szenvedéllyel gyakorlok méltóságot mások és magam felé. Ez a gyakorlat látványosan megváltoztatta az életem, amikor a mesterem, Julio Olalla vezetésével vettem részt egy coaching folyamatban a Newfield Network Coloradonál.

Amikor megtanuljuk tisztelni önmagunkat teljes nyitottsággal, brutális őszinteséggel és transzparenciával, akkor megtanuljuk tisztelni a többieket és szükségleteiket. Amikor álarcot viselünk, akkor az életünket hazugságban, őszintétlenségben és tagadásban éljük.

Random Act of Kindness

prerna post ppt 2

I was pleasantly surprised and grateful at an experience that I had at the organic farmers market this weekend. I ran out of cash because I had shopped more than I had planned for. Fresh produce and flowers always get me excited. I’m still a little kid at heart.

When I realized I was falling short of cash, a total stranger offered the remaining change to me for an artisan sweet treat. I was truly touched by her gesture of generosity and kindness.

We are living in polarized times. The language of hate and divisiveness seems to be the narrative everywhere around us. This random act of kindness was a breath of fresh air for me.

I walked away reminding myself that there is good present in the world despite everything going on around us. I resolved to continue making small steps to spread good around me.

What will your random act of kindness be? Notice how this makes you feel.

Sunday Musings

I recently shared with a friend how I had let go of my expectations at an early age in life. This practice taught me to appreciate the moment and be grateful for what I have, rather than focusing on what I don’t have. It was a hard lesson to understand and grasp at a young age but I am so grateful to witness the person that I have become.

When we live without expectations, we are happy no matter what. We are overjoyed when we are treated well but more importantly, we remain neutral when we receive a setback.

Observe yourself when you’re setting expectations for yourself, towards others and learn to start managing them. You will feel liberated, lighter and free.

Hope I have helped to shift your being just a little bit.

Namaste,
Prerna 🙏

Weekend Post

The weather in Budapest is simply beautiful. Spring seems to be here and people are out and about enjoying the nice weather. One such sunny morning, as I was heading over to my client’s offices, I saw a young lad dragging his dog back home. The little puppy wanted to play with his mates in the park and enjoy the sunshine and the scents of spring. He resisted obeying his owner.

I stopped for a few minutes to watch this story unfold. It was quite a funny sight.

Aren’t we similar? We constantly resist and fight the status quo. We cause ourselves turbulence, anxiety. We worry over matters that we have no control over.

I noticed this week how my mind resisted being in the present. As I was reminded of the cute puppy’s behavior, I gently brought my mind back to the current moment.

I encourage you all to do the same.

What will your strategy and image be to shift your mindset?

Weekend Post

I received a wake up call today morning just as i was beginning to be from a space of entitlement and righteousness. As I was traveling on a bus to attend a workshop, I came across a screaming boy who was evidently sick with a disorder. His father was kind yet very firm towards the boy, who continued to scream. I found myself almost crying. I was so extremely grateful for the kindness that life has given me. I so needed this reminder today.

I firmly resolved and committed to remind myself of the beauty that Life is no matter what. What will your practice be? What commitment will you make towards leading a life filled with contentment?
