Bundles of joy - January 2023
This year let’s do something different!
Every year we look at the list of our good moments,
achievements, failures, dreams and all at the end of the year. This year, let’s list our “moments”
every month on the last day of that month.
So, today being the last day of January, let’s list things we have set to achieve and did.
Let’s look at moments that we cherish (of this month).
Let’s recall this month’s Reiki miracles.
Let’s put together things/people we are grateful to this month (some incident that happened etc).
Let’s be proud of something that we did this month (it can be as simple as getting up ½ an hour early…).
Let’s share how we touched someone’s life or how someone touched ours.
Let’s talk about what we learnt and what we
unlearnt this month.
Let’s wind up this month this way….

Me, my Guru – on being right!
We didn’t know how to take that! But she did. And how
well she did!

Question time :
How was the first day of your 'going back to hobby' feel? Care to share...??!!
Reflections – When life is directionless!
And the only thing that differentiates one person
from the other is how one handles himself in these times and how and what he
takes from them…
Then, at such times, what does one do to remain
sane? What does one be a sadhak at such times too? How does one make such
meaningless and bleak periods of life useful for him?

Reflections - On good days and bad days!
One is because I love to remember data like the height of Himalayas, the capital of US and so on. Just like that, I would remember the incident, but as a fact – not something that hurt me.
So remember the lesson it has taught. Conduct yourself right. Take decisions based on newer facts added. But, don’t change as a person.
Think about it!

Questions time :
"Conduct yourself right. Take decisions based on newer facts added. But, don’t change as a person." -What does this mean?
What is the difference between conducting oneself and being as a person?
Can you explain with an example?
Reflections - On good days and bad days!
Today, maybe was not a good day! Maybe, it made you feel bad about something. that's ok! It happens!
You can keep replaying
the day in your mind again and again and asking the questions like ‘why
did this happen/not happen?’
You can keep feeling bad
about what happened and wishing it had happened in a different way/ or not
happened at all…
You can heal it.
I prefer the last one as
it is the easiest of all! But, I don’t forget to remember what it has taught me
if it has.

Work - Cure from all emotions and answer to abundance!
Whenever you feel there
is no hope, work!
Whenever you feel fear
because of the uncertainty of the future, work!
Whenever you feel angry
because of someone or something, work!
If you are lonely, work!
If you are sad, work!
If you are confused and
aimless, work!
If you are lost, work!
Work is the panacea for
all ills. It is the ‘go to’ friend that peps us up from any emotion. If lifts
us up at all times. It heals like nothing else. It is the way to work out your
dreams.
Work need not be fruitful
or rewarding by way of money or some material benefit. It can be simple work
like –
Doing your chores
Doing long pending
jobs/work
Doing your garden
Cooking/knitting
Take out those clothes
that you need to give away
Clean up your
phone/computer
Get that dress/ bag or
something to stitch which you couldn’t do for since long.
Just about anything as simple
as above….
Next, once your emotion
goes away leaving you clear, you’ll be able to see the situation clearly and
come out with the solution easily…..
So, our go to mantra
should be and will be “WORK”….
Of course, this is only
for people who ‘DESIRE’ to come out that feeling which is making them feel bad!
Those who want to linger
with that feeling, just go to other post….

Me, My Guru – on chasing our dreams
It was then she started talking to us.
We were startled.
“What?” we asked.
Now, I knew what to do. I was trying to control
every situation. And I held the person/situation not going in my favour
responsible for pain and suffering in my life. That was the reason I was
getting irritated and angry. I was losing it. I had my reasons not to do any
healing to the person concerned. And today, she gave us a new reason to address
the situation. Instead of working on that person or myself, all I had to do
was send reiki to the way I wanted to situation to work out. That’s all!
After all, she would just show us the way. It was
we who had to walk!

Me, My Guru – on chasing our dreams
“Guruji, my boss is unbearable” continued another.
“My spouse is a curse of my life. What do I do
about it?” shouted another one.
Our Guru smiled and adjusted her saree. But, even before
she could open her mouth we started talking all at once.
“Please Guruji, don’t ask me to forgive my mother”
“And I am not going to do any healing to this
person, please you have said that to me like a million times and I don’t want
to do that.”
No one was ready to take her solutions today. It seemed
everyone had come with a commitment not to listen to her talk today. No one in
fact wanted a solution. Yet, they were not comfortable being with their
problem. It was a tough situation. Even I was one among them today!
Having exhausted ourselves of our emotions and anger we kept silent.

read also the explanations given at the end of the post for further clarification.....i can only do so much as explain these things from so many angles and give solutions in different ways....to choose to read, understand and apply is up to you....the one who does gets more than what he seeks....one who demands loses what he has also....
The Mystic says - On prayers being answered!
The Mystic says “If you call out to Him in pain, He listens. He answers. But, are your ears open enough to listen to Him?”
"अगर आप सच्चे मन से उसे पुकारोगे तो वह ज़रूर सुनता है। और अगर कोई सवाल करो तो वह जवाब ज़रूर देता है। पर क्या उसके जवाब तुम सुन पाते हो? "
agar aap sacche man se use pukaaroge tho woh zaroor suntha hai. aur agar koi sawaal karo tho woh jawaab zaroor detha hai. par kya uske jawaab tum sun paathe ho?
Now what does ear mean here?
How do we get His answers? Does He shout from sky above?
What are His ways of answering?
Have you asked any questions - ever? Did you receive any answers? How?
When you didn't receive any answers, what do you think could be the reason?
# asking questions, His ways of replying, God's ways of talking to us, ask and it shall be given, seek and it shall be shown,
