A Wow moment – Miracle of the day nay lifetime – Sighting a brown hawk owl!

So, what is the moral of this story?

When we least expect “beauty or a miracle” in our life, it happens. We just can validate it, be available for it and be aware of it to enjoy it.

We can’t control such ‘miracles’ of nature to happen to us or anyone. It happens and then all we can say is “thankyou, thankyou, thankyou”.

Do your duty (here feeding birds) out of love.

Don’t expect anything to come out of it. And when you don’t expect anything, the most beautiful returns are given to you – just like that.

What did I do the entire day because of this?

How did I respond to this incident?

I thanked and felt grateful to the bird!

I was grateful and thanked Reiki for this experience!

I was grateful and thanked God for this experience!

I was grateful for my eyes.

I was grateful for my habit of going to the balcony to feed the birds.

I was grateful for my legs that took me there.

I was grateful for my awareness practice sessions.

I was grateful for my mindfulness practice sessions and meditations. was grateful for my heart for jumping with joy.

I was grateful for having all of you in my life with whom I can share these little bundles of joy in my life.

I was grateful to Mother Nature for all her Creations.

I was thankful to the internet for giving me the name of the bird that I had seen.

I was thankful for my intelligence which made me want to know what I saw.

I was thankful for the understanding that I had due to this rare sighting.

I was thankful to my heart for being filled with gratitude. It didn’t say ‘So what, just one more bird’.

I was thankful to all those who will read this and then later also will share their miracle stories in the blog.

I was thankful for many such miracles.

And being filled with gratitude and thankfulness, I knelt, cried out of happiness and later did Reiki for all the above who were part of this miracle one way or the other!

My day and later couple of days too, were filled with gratitude and happiness.

A Wow moment – Miracle of the day nay lifetime – Sighting a brown hawk owl!

It’s been a couple of days since I have seen “a brown hawk owl” on my balcony! And I am not over it yet!

Wow, wow, wow moment!

I put little cooked rice for birds on the balcony daily. That day too I went to do the same. And there, sitting with the most beautiful “yellow coloured” eyes it was staring right into my eyes. It was there for a couple of minutes. And for me, my world came to a standstill there. I didn’t move. I was lost to its beauty! I kept seeing it long after it was gone.

The entire day, I was giggling like a schoolgirl when that incident came to my memory. What a day!

This was the “VERY FIRST TIME” I had seen it in my lifetime.

Owls by and large are not visible during daytime. As you know, it is nocturnal i.e., goes out only at night. So, for that reason, it was a very very very rare incident. Over and above that, owls don’t come near houses or people. That was the second rare occurrence. And my sighting it – in all these years, didn’t and then now…wow!

So, what is the moral of this story?

When we least expect “beauty or a miracle” in our life, it happens. We just can validate it, be available for it and be aware of it to enjoy it.

Question time:

So, what are the latest miracles of your life?

How do you relate to nature?

Have you spent time with Nature?

Me, My Guru – on keeping count in love

 Contd....

Me, My Guru – on keeping count in love

“You receive what you gave”. They gave knowledge by way of their understanding and inputs and hence they received that back. Simple! And to think I took so many years even to understand this Law and its effect in our receiving and abundance in life!?***

No doubt, our Guru kept stressing us to share our experiences every single time!

You are being stumbling block of your life!

These are few of the understandings we got when we put our minds together.

“We say we love our family and yet keep count of every act we do for them!?

We say we love our family and yet keep count of every penny we spend on them! Isn’t that shameful?”

“We wouldn’t keep accounts with our near and dear ones if and when there is affection involved. But, we do and that clearly says we are just doing business with them. And like in every business there is profit and loss in this business of relationship in our life. Profit being getting material benefits and demands met. And loss is our expectations not being met. This in turn causes pain and suffering. It was not because of the people in our life. It was because of ‘the kind of dealing’ we had with them - that of business. 

***( As told million times before, you can only get donkey to water hole, you can’t make it drink!

Yes, I can only tell ‘tips’ which are actually simple ‘technique’ which are very easy to follow and yet have profound results and benefits stored for you. But to walk the path – unfortunately is your call! I can’t force you to..and therein lies my limitations. So too of God!

Some of you immediately follow for couple of days and then go back to your old ways. Again, when I remind very conveniently say “sorry maam”. I again repeat what I’ve told previously. You don’t get away with ‘sorry’. Because, I am not the one effected. The effect is borne by you and you alone. You are writing your destiny with these choices.

No act of yours benefits me in any way. You are the one who gains or losses! So, be sorry for self….)

On ingratitude!

On Ingratitude!

Gratitude is the back-bone of abundance – be it any abundance – more so for the financial. First let me see how or what acts show- my lack of gratitude! Ingratitude is the main reason for mis-management of finance and thereby bringing about financial abundance in life.

Mother Lakshmi has two vahans – vehicles to travel. One being Owl and the other Garuda. When she enters our life on Owl, she makes a fool of us – ullu – and walks out of our life too that way! Not every rich person has right attitudes, then why attitude is considered so important for a sadhak? Well, here goes the answer. Just the way he earns, his spending is also found senseless and useless even to himself in many ways. When money is earned by wrong ways, then Mother Lakshmi is said to be entering our lives sitting on Owl and hence she brings only sukkh – only comforts and there is no samridhdhi and also no shanthi.

When Mother Lakshmi comes sitting on the Garuda, she enters our lives with Lord Narayana sitting with her. She represents sukh – comforts and he represents shanthi & samridhdhi i.e., character and also wealth. When Financial abundance is uttered by a sadhak and that too with sadhan, then we are talking of Goddess of Wealth coming into our lives with her consort Lord Narayana.

Now, the question is what are the symptoms that point out my ingratitude?
· Talking ill of against person/ system / institution / nation which supports us and also benefits us. Just for sustaining us, we should have gratitude! Over and above that, it supports us and feeds and benefits us. But, we are ever so cribbing, complaining, talking lowly about the person / system / institution etc that’s given us so much.
· One more statement that surprises me is when people get job / loan / money to run their families / life through Reiki yet complain that Reiki doesn’t give financial abundance in their life. Are you AWARE of the level of ingratitude that you have?
· Calling / SMS when in need and not calling / Sms once the healing is complete. Dukh mein sumiran sab karein, sukkh mein karein na koi, jo sukkh mein sumiran karein, tho dukkh kahe ko hoi?
Every one remembers while in need/ pain, but hardly anyone remembers / calls to say thanks once relieved of it. If people can remember even in good times, then why would be there any pain at all in life?
· Calling for an enquiry regarding Vaasthu etc and not calling in say if house is purchased / shifted etc….

These instances are only examples and not the be-all of ingratitude. Similar must be the fashion we deal with others in our life. We would be taking others also for granted in the same way.

Ingratitude can be negated with Gratitude only. What Gratitude is and what it is not will be discussed tomorrow. But, before that please come out with instances that talk of ingratitude especially so with regards to the financial aspect. Till you come out with your examples, I go to write tomorrow’s blog….
