On new year’s resolution

Me, my Guru

There was still a week to go to step into New Year but we weren’t to come to ‘her’ till then. So, we asked her to cut short our class and talk on ‘how to welcome New Year’ instead. She was a bit reluctant at the start but later agreed to. She didn’t like to cut short any class. She didn’t like to extend the class either. So, instead she told us the exercises which we could do at home. Usually, we did it here – Always! But today was a rare exception. Hence, her explanation was completed earlier. Now she used that extra time to fit in our request. Time management and prioritising should be learnt from her. She never wrapped up with ‘chaltha hai’ attitude. She never ever compromised on the quality of class. She

always said and lived “If every individual gives his best – his 100% wherever he is – be it in personal work or professional work, the world would be a better place to live. The day everyone wished to give out only the best – even in as mundane routine as cleaning the toilet, dusting, cooking or even folding the clothes – then ‘satisfaction’ would be experienced then and there! It wasn’t somewhere distant. It was in every moment well lived"

Still, we listened, were in awe of her, but went back to our old ways afterwards. We hardly took her words to action. But still, we questioned her non-stop – as if our whole life depended on it. I could continue my thoughts further too but for her intervention.

“You all want to know the options for New Year Resolutions, but I would say for a change look back at the year gone bye! Not critically though! Now I would like you all to make a list of things -

a. You have achieved in the year gone by – 2016 as ‘I learnt XYZ’, I could speak in a public function, purchased a house” just about anything you feel you have achieved worth the name.

b. Things you are grateful for – let the list have atleast 5 things you’ve been grateful for in the last year – 2016.

c. People you are thankful for in your life – as simple as a servant to an unknown stranger on road – atleast 3 of them.

d.Atleast three happy moment three happy moments of this year – 2016

Please note : (Any of you can write all these and send to my email. I’ll post it ‘as is’ in the blog. You can then even give the link to the people about whom you’ve written – if you so wish!

Don’t say, you are too busy to write or that your English is bad etc! Write atleast one topic at a time. No one bothers about language. People connect to your story through emotions. Even they would’ve experienced the same but must’ve forgotten. So be the torch to others. Share your joys/blessings with other reiki channels)

just read the link to recollect our previous resolutions : http://kantipadam.blogspot.in/search?q=new+year+resolutions

He and She!

He and her

“I stopped explaining long back knowing no one was listening! And then I didn’t know when I coiled into myself completely” she confessed.

“She’s far away from my every expectation. She’s failed me. My hopes were dashed long back. Now I have nothing to look forward to in this relationship” he cried.

“He’s burned every bridge and now complains that I don’t visit him” she said wryly.

Ego had an accomplice in anger and it didn’t let communication build a bridge between them. They feel apart. But the story of their lives was not meant to be so. It was written with a happy note and a happy beginning. They just didn’t know how to nurture their hopes right. It died a natural death and with it, it took away their relationship.

She just had to give in a little of what has bad for her and he what was holding him back – then, then it would have been a really beautiful story worth reminiscing with their grand kids. What could’ve been wasn’t so now!

One more story ended abruptly. One more couple couldn’t be together. One more sad end to a happy and hopeful beginning!

Pity time can’t be bent backwards to rewrite its chapters differently so they could see the end the way they had envisaged!

But never mind – one more girl met a boy and a new story began. This story surely would go right. Right? Glad this would go on till a story is written well and beautifully real!

New record in blog!

On celebrating 300 posts on our blog!

Wow! Thanks and congrats as you can see we had 300 posts already on our blog this year! That’s the highest in the last 8 years of our blogging! That means I wasn’t writing only for 60 days this whole year....not bad, I should say!

All this was possible because of your regular readership and repeatedly telling or saying ‘maam, why are you silent since 2-3 days?’...you never let me go off line for long...good in a way....we ended up posting these many posts this year......hope atleast few of them made some sense and benefited you in some way.........

I think when destiny either forgets or cannot tie some people in blood relations....it corrects its mistake by making them meet in a bond that can't be labelled in one word and yet which means a lot more than all the labels put together!!! In sanskrit it is called 'Atma bandhu' - i.e., relatives by soul.......

  

I was more or less involved only with this work most of this year......all thanks to you.....guess our partnership is mutually beneficial for us...this whole year’s work that I put in, I hope gave some results positive in your attitude and life.......if it did I can do this till this body supports me.....hoping that you inspire me to write more in the coming year and wishing that the New year which is just around the corner bring lots of cheer, good health, prosperity, hope, goodness, sunshine, happiness, supportive family and understanding friends in your life....

May your life be one of celebration as you celebrate your New year’s day.........

Let's find SERENDIPITY the effect with which we accidentally stumble upon something truly wonderful, beautiful and meaningful when we are actually looking for something totally unrelated!

Teachers everybody - Me, My Guru

...contd........

Today, we had one more reason to work on our issues – the right way. Living in pain and suffering had been for a long run. Now, it was time we took decisions to better ourselves and thereby our lives. We all sat in meditation to seal this decision of ours for more than an hour. Later we all did group reiki for the same too! 

 This was being pro-active and it meant we were going the right way. We still didn’t know where it lead us and how far we were to walk this path, but one thing was sure – we were on the right path and now only that seemed impossible. Nothing else mattered. As she said often “Be on the right path and that path itself will guide you towards the right goal for you! You may not know what it is. You may not even see or visualize or it. But it will emerge when you don’t even expect it to! ‘If you are on the right path, you never will be ‘left’ alone!’ – I liked this quotation of hers. And I like others today vowed to stick to this path and I knew that only regular sadhan can help me to do that. So I decided not to hit the pillow without completing my sadhan – if Salman can be sincere to his work out, can’t I be to my sadhan? He taught me well. Now it was for me to put to good use and benefit from it!

Others too had similar thoughts and these thoughts, idea and decisions kept us tongue-tied for the entire remaining session till noon.

Lunch shook us from our altered state and we fell back to our normal self – for some time to come………
