Peonies

unnamed I 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?

Masks

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.

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 Reflections

IMG_20180519_135932 I was facilitating a team centering exercise and practice working on solving conflicts in the workplace this week.

Each of the participants reported after tapping into the wisdom of the body how important it was to be brutally honest and transparent to our needs as well as to the needs of others.

Are we brutally honest with ourselves? Do we demonstrate courage and reveal our vulnerability?

My practice is to evaluate on a regular basis what causes me internal disturbance. Once I recognize this, I work on holding an honest mirror to myself. The insights that I receive are always fascinating to observe and work through. From here, I am able to navigate my relationships effectively as well as honestly.

What will your practice be this week?

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?

Saturday Musings

I remember meeting with a car accident when I had just learnt driving. The experience was traumatic and not my fault. It was truly an unlucky experience. My 2 princesses who were 2 and 5 then were sitting in the back with me. They were stricken with fear and it was heartbreaking to see their little faces. I clearly recall doubting my abilities to drive and wanted to stop driving. It took a lot of courage to get over this fear and hit the road once again which I did successfully.

Our failures get registered in the brain and inhibits us to try again. It requires courage, discipline and a bag full of motivating self talk to go against this initial factory setting.

What will your practice be this week to bring courage, discipline and motivational self talk to consciously pursue your dreams, passions, desires? Create a new default setting to replace the one you are born and raised with.

One of my clients was brought up in a traditional, conservative family setting. He has a robust set of values and strives to lead a mindful conscious life. He finds it extremely challenging when some of his peers do not lead with the same style and then questions himself as his self doubt creeps in. He ends up feeling guilty, which affects his well being.

The following quote by Socrates helped him shift and understand how his belief system dictates his actions.

‘Obscurity is dispelled by augmenting the light of discernment rather than attacking the darkness’

We act by default which does not serve us many times. Once we learn to use and augment the power of discernment, we act differently.

My client let go of his expectations towards his colleagues, he worked on accepting them just as they were.

Having understood this, he is now beginning to experience well being and balance. He does not get frustrated because he serves his needs first. As a rule of thumb, he gives himself dignity before he acts.

Research shows that new habits and patterns are formed by way of repetition, despite our default patterns working hard to sabotage our well being.

I am sure this resonates with a lot of us. What are you going to resolve and discern this week?

See you next week!
