The Spiritual Rebel’s Manifesto: Why Being Naughty is Actually an Enlightened State
Look, we know what you’re thinking. “These meditation teachers have finally lost it.” Here we are, people who spends their days teaching people to sit still, breathe properly, achieve inner peace and an enlightened state, and we’re about to tell you that being a bit of a rebel is actually good for your soul.
Yes, Santa, put us all on the naughty list. We’re ready.
With Christmas around the corner, we’re giving you permission to break some rules. Not the “rob a bank” kind of rules (please don’t), but the suffocating social conventions that are slowly crushing your spirit like a too-tight yoga pant waistband after Thanksgiving dinner.
Fair warning: Don’t share this with your kids. You’ll end up being the one who needs a timeout.
My Nine-Month Meditation Journey to Bliss: From Blank Silence to Bursting Light
When Inner Peace Takes Its Sweet Time
If someone had told me that my meditation journey to “inner peace” would feel more like waiting for a software update that never finishes downloading, I’d have laughed nervously — and then signed up anyway.
Like many spiritual seekers, I wasn’t chasing fireworks. I just wanted a little calm in the middle of life’s chaos. My world had become a bad movie — too many plot twists, terrible lighting, and zero direction. So, when a group of warm, smiling people welcomed me into a Sahaja Meditation session like I was a lost prince returning home, I thought, “Maybe this is where my story turns around.”
It didn’t — not right away. But oh, what a ride it turned out to be.
Beyond the Balance Sheet: How Spiritual Fitness Can Heal Your Relationship with Money
Picture this: You’ve built your savings, planned your retirement, maybe even landed that long-awaited promotion. But somewhere deep down, the anxiety still hums—a constant low vibration reminding you that peace doesn’t always come with a paycheck.
We live in a world that tells us financial stability equals happiness. Budget better. Work harder. Climb higher. Yet, for so many of us, the numbers don’t quiet the worry. Because the truth is, financial well-being doesn’t begin on a spreadsheet—it starts within.
Welcome to the world of spiritual fitness, where inner balance becomes the foundation for outer abundance.
Just as you might hit the gym to strengthen your body, spiritual fitness means exercising the mind and energy to build emotional resilience, contentment, and clarity. When your inner world feels stable, your outer world naturally starts to align.
Mid-Life’s Sacred Passage: How to Ascend Higher When Your Body Whispers Change
Many of us come to this practice of meditation with a proactive spirit, seeking deeper insights into the journey of life even before the clouds of challenge begin to form. That’s a beautiful, advanced stage of spiritual evolution! Just as a seasoned mariner studies the far-off weather patterns, let’s look with clear eyes at the major health shifts that middle age (40-60) often brings, and, more importantly, how a focused spiritual practice is the long-term solution for not just coping, but flourishing.
Last week, we wrote to you about some of the pressing problems faced by many of us. This week, we launched our online workshops, starting with strategies to combat health challenges as our first topic.
Why regular and good quality meditation feels so difficult
If you have been struggling to get started or become a regular meditator, you’re not alone. A lot of people and those who have been practitioners for many years struggle with this problem too. Initially, meditation sounds great, has proven benefits and everyone who practices it typically has at least one benefit that convinces them of its value.
Yet, things get in the way, circumstances keep changing and complacency can creep in. We know that we have to get back on track, but it feels like heavy lifting to get back to the once-exhilarating meditation schedule that gave us so many benefits. Those constant negative voices tell us it’s okay to be irregular or make meditation look daunting – yes, think of it, something that’s meant to relax you and make you completely peaceful and calm feels rather difficult. Doubts begin to creep in or meditation gets on your action items or New Year Resolutions list pretty quickly. Or it has been a bookmark in your life for many years, but you can’t just get yourself to pull the trigger.
And then there’s the quality of meditation, an even bigger challenge. The majority of meditators hit a plateau in their progress at some point and it feels like they have peaked out on their benefits and positive experiences. While they’ve established their routine and follow it diligently, there just isn’t enough depth in their sessions. Regular meditation, therefore, isn’t just about being regular; it is about consistent, high-quality meditation over the longer term.
Familiar feelings and thoughts? It’s not always your lack of self-discipline, desire to improve or put in the effort; there are other hidden forces at work that we need to understand.
