This caption captured my attention as I was biking around Toronto. I thought about how I had planned to immerse myself and open up orphanages for children to serve and love them once my girls left my nest. Interestingly, I found my calling by becoming a coach instead, focusing on creating new ways of Being to bring well being to others and harmonize the mind, body, and emotions. I am extremely grateful to have found this form of coaching. I believe I do my little bit every minute of my day to be in selfless service and am living my life’s purpose. I’m awed by how my journey has led me here.

What will you do to listen to your inner voice and calling? I would be happy to guide you through these conversations. Please reach out and message me privately.

In the spirit of service,
Prerna


“Ha ugyanott ott kötsz ki, ahonnan elindultál, akkor nem figyeltél az úton.”

Ez a mondat hívta fel a figyelmem, amikor Torontóban bicikliztem. Arra gondoltam, hogy amikor a lányaim elhagyták a családi fészket, akkor azt terveztem, hogy elmerülök magamban és árvaházakat nyitok azért, hogy szolgáljam, szeressem a gyerekeket. Érdekes, hogy ehelyett inkább arra éreztem késztetést, hogy coach legyek. A létezés új módjainak kialakítására fókuszálok, azért, hogy jóllétet vigyek mások életébe, és harmóniát teremtsünk a test, érzelmek és az elme között. Eszméletlenül hálás vagyok azért, mert megtaláltam a coachingnak ezt a fajtáját. Úgy vélem, hogy a napom minden percében teszek valamit, hogy önzetlen szolgálatban legyek, és megvalósítsam életem célját. Lenyűgöz, ahogyan az utam ide vezetett.

Mit fogsz tenni, hogy hallgass a belső hangodra és késztetésedre? Örömmel végigvezetlek ezeken a beszélgetéseken. Kérlek, írj privát üzenetet.

A szolgálat szellemében

The body is a powerful tool and resource which many of us are unaware of. It helps us tap into the wisdom that each one of us has within us. I share with you a short body practice this week. Please sit back for a few minutes and soak in.

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?

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?

Namaste,

Saturday Musings

sign-road-sunlight-hd-2K-wallpaper-middle-size

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!

Namaste,

I saw a client this week to whom I had introduced the Guest House by Rumi right at the beginning of our journey together. It took him a few weeks to soak in the words of this masterpiece. He translated it for me very kindly in Hungarian which I post below. Much gratitude dear one! This post is dedicated to you.

He reported that he has stopped participating with thoughts/emotions and is living as a silent observer. His life quality seems visibly enhanced, he experiences a level of joy that is very new to him.

I walked away from this conversation grateful to be a powerful agent of transformation within my clients.

What will your practice be? Are you willing to bring rigor and take full responsibility for your well being?

THE GUEST HOUSE- RUMI
A VENDÉGHÁZ – RUMI

This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.
Az emberi lét, olyan mint egy vendégház. Minden reggel új betérővel.

A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Váratlan vendégként érkezik egy öröm, egy bánat, egy aljasság vagy némi pillanatnyi tudatosság.

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.
Köszöntsd és szórakoztasd mind! Még ha egy csapatnyi bú is az, akik erőszakkal ürítik ki házad, magukkal víve minden bútorod.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice. meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
A sötét gondolat, a szégyen, a rosszindulat. Köszöntsd őket az ajtóban nevetve és hívd be őket.

Be grateful for whatever comes. Because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
Légy hálás, bármi is érkezik. Mert mind útmutatóként van küldve a túloldalról.

 

Overwhelm

image1

I noticed an overwhelming feeling at the beginning of this week. It all seemed too much for me. The story of ‘too much’ invaded my Being. I persisted patiently and worked throughout the week, accomplishing as much as I possibly could under the given circumstances.

Situations changed and I applied flexibility and adjusted to them accordingly. I was patient and kind to myself throughout. Judgement came and I observed without participation. I noticed that there were two parallel persons inside me, one chaotic and the other observant. I did not participate in the chaos that I was experiencing in full form this week and this was key. After a few days of being in this position, peace overcame me. I was grateful and seemed to be more like myself.

What will you resolve to practice with rigor this week? How will you stop participating in the chaos?

Setting Intentions

Books

(A magyar fordítás lent található.)

I am extremely grateful to have an amazingly powerful connection with both my girls. We are best friends and hold honest, yet kind mirrors toward one other.

This weekend, during our weekly family conference call, they gently pointed out to me that I do not read as many books as I used to. I promptly responded that I lack the time to do so and that I listen to audio books as I’m traveling from one client to another. My younger daughter immediately responded by saying ‘Mama you must set an intention toward reading more every evening.’ I agreed and continued working with clients after the family call.

As I was practicing yoga and meditation this morning, her words struck a chord within me. I immediately came up with an action plan to achieve the goal of reading more and manifesting a new reality for myself.

Who are you going to have as your mirrors within your network? Who are you going to be accountable to?

How will you bring rigor into your routine to manifest your intentions? These are the questions that came up for me.

I hope I have struck a chord within some of you.

Namaste,
Prerna


 

A szándék meghatározása

Nagyon hálás vagyok, mert lenyűgöző kapcsolatom van mindkét lányommal. Legjobb barátok vagyunk, őszintén kommunikálunk és tükröt tartunk egymásnak.

Ezen a hétvégén, a családi konferencia hívásunk alatt, finoman emlékeztettek rá, hogy nem olvasok annyit, mint korábban. A válaszom az volt, hogy nincs már annyi időm, mint korábban volt, ezért hangoskönyveket hallgatok, amíg megyek egyik ügyféltől a másikig. A fiatalabb lányom azonnal válaszolt, és azt mondta, hogy meg kell fogalmaznod a szándékot, hogy többet olvasol esténként. Egyetértettem, majd dolgoztam egy ügyféllel a beszélgetésünk után.

Miközben ma reggel jógáztam és meditáltam szöget ütöttek a fejemben a szavai. Azonnal előálltam egy akciótervvel, amiben meghatároztam, hogy hogyan fogok többet olvasni és egy új valóságot teremteni magamnak.

Ki fog neked tükröd tartani a környezetedben? Kinek fogsz elszámolni? Hogyan fogsz a rutinodon változtatni, hogy megteremtsd a szándékod? Ezek a kérdések jutottak eszembe.

Remélem ez szöget üt a fejetekbe.

Namaste,

AHA Moment

coffee 1

I was comfortably settled into a coaching conversation at one of my favorite locations – the coffee shop at Margaret Island. I always find it so tranquil and peaceful there and an ideal location to coach.

Towards the end of my coaching conversation, I noticed one of the waitresses approaching our table, smiling ear to ear. We had a sweet conversation and since she hadn’t seen me since the beginning of the year, she wished me a happy new year even though it was already the middle of February.

It struck me almost immediately that I find so much joy and gratitude in these precious moments. The social connections that I have created in this magical city help me survive and thrive through the difficult moments when I miss my girls who both live so far away from me.

Life brings its challenges but I choose to consciously focus on the select moments that keep me going.

What will you consciously choose and create this week?

Namaste,
Prerna
