Is this it now?

Presentation1
(A magyar fordítás lent található.)

When my girls left home 10 years ago to pursue university studies, I often found myself wondering what is next for me? The mind often seemed to give me the narrative of ‘Is this it now?’ I discovered new hobbies, made new friends, and pursued my career in coaching. I consciously ignored that inner voice that was trying so hard to take me away from center.

What are you going to do for yourself this week? What purpose and mission are you committing yourself to? Once you’ve discovered this, stay focused and live every minute without letting the narrative come in the way. It does have a knack to distract you from your goal. Let the doer within you pursue your path to stay centered.

Namaste

Most ez van-e?

A lányaim 10 évvel ezelőtt költöztek el itthonról, mert egyetemre mentek. Gyakran azon kaptam magam, hogy azon gondolkodom mi a következő lépés számomra? Az elmém gyakran azt súgta, hogy most ez van? Felfedeztem új hobbikat, új barátságokat kötöttem, felépítettem a coaching karrierem. Tudatosan ignoráltam azt a belső hangot, ami mindent megtett azért, hogy kimozdítson az egyensúlyomból.

Mit fogsz tenni magadért ezen a héten? Milyen célnak és küldetésnek kötelezed el magad? Amikor egyszer ezt felfedezed, csak maradj fókuszban és élj meg minden pillanatot anélkül, hogy hagynád az elméd elbeszélőjét megszólalni. Rendelkezik a trükkel, ami megzavarhat a célod elérésében. Hagyd, hogy a belső éned rátérjen az útra és maradj fókuszban.

Life is Good

(A magyar fordítás lent található.)WhatsApp Image 2018-03-29 at 23.43.31

This week taught me to learn to accept some harsh and bitter realities with a big smile. What is life giving you both in your personal as well as professional domain? This is always a fantastic mirror to examine. Where can you grow as a result of challenges that you are experiencing? Are you going to be honest to yourself, have the courage/ humility to accept and face realities that are staring at you?

I encourage you to look into yourselves and be brutally transparent. This will help you transcend and reach a state of calm without getting bitter.

Life is Good. I’m always humbled at the synchronicities, serendipity and the sequence of events.

Namaste,
Prerna


 

Ez a hét megtanított arra, hogy mosolyogva fogadjam a kemény és keserű valóságot. Mit ad neked az élet a magán és a szakmai életedben? Ez mindig egy fantasztikus tükör, amit érdemes megvizsgálni. Miben tudsz fejlődni a kihívások hatására, amiket tapasztalsz? Őszinte leszel magaddal, és összeszeded a bátorságod, hogy szembe nézz és elfogadd a valóságot, ami bámul rád?

Arra bátorítalak, hogy figyeld meg mi zajlik benned és légy teljesen transzparens. Ez majd segít, hogy felülemelkedj és elérd a nyugalmat keserű érzések nélkül.

Az élet jó. Én mindig alázatos vagyok a szinkronicitáesoknak, az értékek az események sorrendje felé.

Are we in control or not in control?

51032f5f-ddb0-4eeb-b0cd-2bd2d3c0e282

‘I remember working with a client a few years ago who believed that if she transformed her way of being by becoming a better observer, let go of default habits, beliefs, cultural influences, expectations of herself to fit into his world- all of which she had acquired over the years then she would lose a part of herself. Then her identity would be at risk. This caused her to have fear. She suffered in her mind and resisted cooperating with the practices during the sessions. However, she suffered immensely as a result of her being controlled in her mind. My only request to her was to stay with the practices she had learnt during the session and practice these during the week. We did this slowly week after week. Soon, she realized that the practices were helping her. The intelligent conversations and exchanges, the increase in her awareness, understanding emotions and how the body responded.  Her way of being was transforming, new default settings were being created. She experienced well being by making a few modifications in how she viewed outside influences.

My invitation to you my dearest readers today is to question yourselves. Which beliefs are weighing you down and inhibiting you to experience the joy, exuberance and bliss of life.

I am happy to help you bring these out over a 30 minute conversation totally free of charge as part of my intention to give back to society. This might totally change the way you experience life. Please write to me if interested.

AHA Moment This Week

WhatsApp Image 2018-03-02 at 07.54.34

(A magyar fordítás lent található.)

Dear Readers, my wonderful tribe,

I faced a triggering event this week, very similar to something that I received 7 years ago. This was before I became an ontologically trained coach and started my journey of transformation. It was quite fascinating to notice how I simply did not go into the past patterns, default settings. I simply sat there smiling in disbelief sending out thoughts of kindness and care since that is the person I am always aspiring to be. It brings me back to repeating this sentence, a sentence many of you have heard several times during our sessions together.

,We are what we practice’

What is your practice going to be? Who do you wish to see yourself become? What are you going to consciously give up today, the rest of the weekend, the following weeks until this becomes your new DNA. Change takes time but it requires consistent practice.

It’s pretty significant to have received this gift from life this week. Today is the festival of colors called Holi. Holi is about colors, exuberance, joy, bliss. It also signifies the unwholesome traits which clearly do not serve us that we shall consciously throw into the fire and let them burn through.

Namaste and in service

AHA élmény ezen a héten

Kedves Olvasók, csodálatos Követőim,

Egy megidéző élményben volt részem ezen a héten, nagyon hasonló dolog történt velem 7 évvel ezelőtt. Ez azelőtt volt, hogy ontológiai coach lettem és elindultam az átváltozás útján. Meglehetősen lenyűgöző volt, ahogy láttam, hogyan nem térek vissza a régi mintáimhoz, berögződéseimhez.  Egyszerűen ültem, mosolyogva, hitetlenkedve, kedvességgel és gondossággal kapcsolatos gondolatokat küldve, mivel arra törekszem, hogy ilyen személlyé váljak. Ez odavisz, hogy ismételjem a mondatot, ami sokszor elhangzik üléseinken.

“Azok vagyunk, amit gyakorlunk”

Mi lesz a te gyakorlatod? Kivé szeretnél válni? Mit fogsz feladni tudatosan ma, a hétvégére és a jövő hétre, addig amíg az új DNS-ed lesz? A változás időt igényel, de folyamatos gyakorlást igényel.

Nagyon jelentős számomra, hogy ezt az ajándékot kaptam az élettől ezen a héten. Ma van a színek fesztiválja, Holi a neve. A Holi a színekről, az örömről, a gazdagságról, a boldogságról szól. Azt is jelenti, hogy a rossz tulajdonságok nyilvánvalóan nem szolgálnak minket, ezért dobjuk be őket a tűzbe és hagyjuk elégni.

Namaste, szolgálatban

Wet Suit

15967_10151531895261453_1236518095_n

One of my clients, a leader at a multinational organization spoke at 100 miles an hour without a pause. After he stopped tor a breath of air, I took the opportunity to reflect back his fears and anxieties coming across. I asked him to move out of his chair and reflect on his words. The transformation of his energy was magical to witness. He calmed down and instantly recognized how wound up he was.

I brought in the metaphor of wearing a wet suit that helps us weather the waves that arise from the ocean and go right back into the ocean from where they originate. Are we going to appreciate the rich life that lives below the ocean? Are we willing to learn and ride on the waves of turmoil and turbulence when we feel smitten with feelings, thoughts that take us away from center?

What is your wet suit strategy going to be? This might be an useful resource in the volatile times that we are all going through.

Namaste,

Rumi in the 21st Century

97f5022a90be80578ea2dbd56ee237b1
As I was contemplating on this weekend’s post the following poem by the 13th century poet and mystic Rumi comes to mind. This has been the question this week from several clients. The very nature of being human is to experience several thoughts, emotions and perceptions. We tend to want to make meaning of everything with the intelligent mind. But we are actually the biggest fools many a time under the mask of intelligence. Let us learn to claim mastery back into our hands.

Namaste,

THE GUEST HOUSE

This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!

Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice.

meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes.

because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

— Jelaluddin Rumi,

Today’s Post

Zen-Rocks

(A magyar forditás lent található)

My conversations this week with clients has led me to believe that most of us are exhausted and overwhelmed after the holidays. I have been experiencing the same. The one practice that has helped me tremendously is to embrace the present moment. When overwhelm wished to overtake my way of being, I gently brought myself into conscious focus and worked through the first week back to work after an amazing holiday spent with family. What does this mean for you? Practice this for the weekend and go back to work taking this practice with you. The results could be extraordinary.

Namaste,

Ezen a héten egy beszélgetés az egyik ügyfelemmel rádöbbentett arra, hogy legtöbben kimerültek és túlterheltek vagyunk az ünnepek után. Ugyanezt tapasztalom én is. A gyakorlat. amely nagyon sokat segített, az a jelen pillanat megélése. Amikor a túlterheltség uralni akarta a létezésemet, finoman rávezettem magam a tudatos összepontosításra és végig dolgoztam az első munkahetet, egy csodálatos, családdal együtt töltött ünnep után. Mit jelent ez neked? Gyakorold ezt a hétvégén és menj vissza dolgozni ezzel a gyakorlattal a zsebedben. Az eredmény rendkívüli lehet.

Namaste,
