  • Nature & Nurture

    Can one be far from the other? A snake can be nurtured to not bite, but shall it never return to it’s true nature which is to bite?

    Yes it would, when pushed to a wall, when threatened and when the fight or fright response kicks in. But humans have trained even their flight or fight response, like a double edged sword. Centuries of conditional upbringing and societal orthodoxes impact our responses sub-conciously. Unawares, we tend to utilize our nurturings more often than the nature and often nurture becomes too comfortable to be our nature altogether.

    This explains the late awakenings of many beings. Who in the journey of self-discovery wonder why didn’t the obvious response come to them by nature? The answer lies in what they were nurtured to believe in.

  • The power of letting go

    Just as a snake sheds old skin and a tree shes  leaves to welcome a new season, there is tremendous power in letting go for us humans too. It is a powerful tool, something that comes into action solely out of one’s own willingness and is the best motivator for change. And it works not just on our body and our mind but also our soul.

    As you let go of laziness, you eat better, you move better. Your immunity comes around and so does restful sleep. In a nutshell you are caring for your body.

    Breathe

    As you let go of older habits, you exercise your will power more often and just like flexing muscles make them stronger so does your will power. Your mind grows to make better, more meaningful choices.

    And as you let go of the old you, your find purpose, community and connectedness in life. A higher meaning that reflects your zen and nurtures your soul, your existence. 🫶
