Is this the freedom you’re dreaming about?

Let’s today think about – Am I free from WHAT IF?

I love looking at others, when they are quite , away from me or else listening and observing their words and action is also what I love to do. Well, I love doing it not because I want to see them or want to be near them but I do this because i want to learn. I love learning new things. It doesn’t matter if it’s from book, or practical or life based learning. Till this age what I’ve learnt is none of living beings want to be under others command. Everyone of us want to be free and want to live our life our way but the thing is, we are unknown about the fact that none of us are actually free in this planet. Well, I do not know about other planet so I’d like to point only our planet- Our Mother Earth.

It’s true that we do not have time to think so it’s also obvious that we follow. Some of us follow guides from their religion, some from schools, some from experience and some from their influencers. Actually the thing is most of us are ready to follow something that sparks. Sparks means, thing that’s at the top ( according to my understanding).

People say they want freedom, but the truth is actually everyone of us are actually free but not free at the same time. We are free to experience our own life according to our thoughts process but are also chained or locked up by our mentality, our mentality to follow trends and follow pretty things and good incomes.

We are free to enjoy our life, we are free to cry, we are free to get angry, we are free to love unless it’s all for ourselves. We can do anything we want with ourself. But the truth is we are afraid to explore something different. That’s the reason why we follow others. That’s the reason why we believe in what people from higher posts says to us. And that belief is not just a belief, it’s a blind belief because we do not have in-depth knowledge about if and do not courage to ask question.

None of us like it when others command us to do things their way. But the another truth is, everyone of us want to be boss as well.

But have we ever questioned ourselves if we are really living our life freely? Are we really seeking to live our life freely?

Till this age, how many of us takes time to think about things we actually did which we always wanted to do? May be like dancing infront of your friends? talking with strangers? rejecting friends proposals? How many of us actually did those things without thinking about other things like what if???

How many of us are free from WHAT IF….????

How many of us are from from seeking others approval for your doings?

How many of us are from looking at every pretty girls and handsome boys and wishing to have them our partners?

How many of us are free from dieting mentality?

How many of us free from layers and layers of make ups to hide your natural beauty? ( make up is an art and I love arts but some people use make up to hide their face as well because they have less confident with themselves is also another truth, so I’m referring it to them. If this sentence hurt some peoples sentiments I’m so sorry)

If I start writing everything on points it’ll get too long so I’ll sum up just in one sentence . HOW MANY OF US ARE FREE FROM DEPENDENT MENTALITY, from ‘ WHAT IF’ MENTALITY??

Well I do not know if anyone have talked about if before or not so I’ll give this name to this quote. Which is understand recently while writing this blog.

Every humans are free but aren’t free at the same time.

Ekagrata

I referred humans because other animals aren’t free like we humans. So why to include other animal kingdoms?

Okay that’s all i want to include in this writing because I just want to make it simple and short. All I want to request everyone is to think, think for your life and think about your life. Take some time for yourself, get out from social media and live your life for real. Go out and explore your life in reality.

Thank you.

Namaskar. 🙏

Meditation: my first experience

Everywhere we search for mental health we get this word MEDITATION. Almost everyone talk about doing mediation and breathing techniques.

What’s Meditation?

I believe meditation is a mental exercise. Meditation is a practice where we sit on a quite place and be present at the moment. All we do during meditation is being at present.

My very first experience

Well, today I’ll share you my experience of doing meditation for the first time. It was 3years back when I started doing mediation and yoga.

Why???

I’ll start with my back story.

Because my life wasn’t running well as what I actually wanted to be and it’s quite frustrating to me. At that point of time all I knew was “nobody can help me unless I help myself”.

Ever since I was a kid I used to do yoga but I never did mediation because I didn’t knew it’s importance. I didn’t knew how much mental health values in our life. But since my life wasn’t going as what I expected and I wanna live in peace I started searching for solutions and everywhere I found one answer and that was- MEDIATION

Well almost every sites told about how to do so I decided to do it for the first time in my life. And for the first time I did meditation.

My experience

I started with yoga asanas followed by pranayam and finally to dhyan (meditation). I sat on my yoga mat with cross leg position. My hands on my lap in resting positing, thumb and index finger touching each other and eyes closed.

For few minutes I thought of present situation but then after some minutes everything means up.

My very first experience was so horrifying. It was as if I was watching my own movies. It was like all those emotions, all those life experiences and all those problems I’ve been running away from, are all coming to get me back. I don’t think there’s any words to explain that experience.

Then for first time I didn’t do meditation after about 5min may be because all my life’s experiences were coming in from of my eyes. I went back to my room and thought may be I didn’t do it in right way. Since I was determined to do meditation I promised myself to do it again tomorrow.

That same thing happened to me for may be about 3 days then on my 4th day no matter how much I was getting my flashbacks I was determined to do so I continue doing meditation. Then guess what??

After getting all those flashbacks after few minutes my mind became blank. I was as if all of my mental problems vanished. Like when we try to delete something on our phone or in our laptops and in computer we get suggestions like are you sure you want to delete this file? And then when we click yes all those files gets deleted. My experience with doing meditation was very similar to deleting files on laptops, computer or my phone.

After mind gets blank here comes the beautiful part. I actually started feeling happy. I felt like I’ve got new life as if I was free from everything. I felt myself as a free and happy soul.

Lesson learnt

  • Doing meditation is not easy
  • At first it’s difficult but one day you’ll succeed
  • If you don’t face your problems you’ll never solve your problems
  • Trust yourself and your ability

” Quite the mind and your soul will speak”

-Buddha

My suggestion

When I first started doing meditation it wasn’t easy. All those past memories were coming back towards me but I was determined to do it and I even did it. And now here I am, happy soul. Just remember one thing no matter how hard it is for you, just keep on doing meditation. Of course at first it’s difficult but when you practice you’ll succeed. “Difficult roads most often leads to the beautiful destination”

“Never give up”

“Trust yourself and trust your ability”

Remember, if you don’t do for yourself nobody will. So start from you.
