<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #741b47;">In this
post, I am glad to share my journey of self realization, and my perspective of
the life transformational ancient practices of Inner Engineering.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is my
18<sup>th</sup> year of Spiritual awakening…! I had always been attracted to the
mystical powers of the universe and the metaphysical elements after a big life
transforming incident when I was 10. I was fortunate to be gifted second life
on Earth! :)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ever since
my consciousness wandered to see the realms of truth, light, wisdom and enlightenment,
my curiosity led me to a wonder trip to Goa where I experienced the beauty of
my own self! It was 18 years ago that I was touched by the light of my spirit.
It was the first time that I stayed away from my family for a stretch of ten long
days! This vacation with my school friends was absolutely fun-loving, but there
was something beyond fun!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was the identification
of myself more than who I think I was… identification of myself more than my
relationships, more than my culture, more than my social status of a ‘student’,
more than my body… In the freedom of being a wanderer among the wilderness of
nature and the beaches, I felt the sensation of my inner being – I heard the
whispers of my inner voice telling me – now that you have recognized yourself,
the path ahead is beautiful!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Since then my
thirst for wisdom and enlightenment has been expanding! All these years I have
come across wonderful spiritual masters and insightful Yoga gurus; learnt a lot
through holistic programs; and gained immersive knowledge upon the subjects
of Universal Laws, Quantum Physics, Cognitive Science, Human psychology, Esoterism,
Tantra, Yoga, Meditation, Reiki, Pranic Healing, Qigong, Feng Shui, Vaastu
Shastra, Numerology, Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Natural therapies like Color, Water,
Sound, Light, Aroma, etc. and my journey for exploring the “magic of life” is
still on!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have been
effortlessly floating towards everything that flames my curiosity for the

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">That’s how
I stumbled upon the </span></span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_of_Living_Foundation" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;" target="_blank">Art of Living Foundation</a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> and pursued their basic course in early 2012 at the
headquarters, in Karnataka, India. The USP of this course is Sudershan Kriya
(an ancient Yogic breathing practice that was performed by the supreme Shree
Krishna himself).</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I strived
to continue my practice but somehow could not! However, the learning itself
marked a deep impact!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The same
year I learnt about the amusing healing meditation technique from the </span></span><a href="http://www.pyramidvalley.org/" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;" target="_blank">Pyramid Valley Meditation Centre</a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> (Karnataka, India).The USP of this meditation is a
simple yet peculiar breathing pattern. Fortunately, I am lucky enough to have practiced this technique each day till date! This is because of its simplicity
and the fact that it can be performed at any place, no matter where you are –
home, public transport, party, meeting, etc.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">By now, I
absolutely believe in the fact that it is the quality of our energy (positive
or negative/ high or low) that attracts the type of people, events and
opportunities into our life!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">And that’s
exactly how I came across the heart-warming, divine enlightened being Shree
Sadhguru in early 2016. My keen interest in quotes about life, wisdom,
spirituality, etc. guided my way to access <a href="https://isha.sadhguru.org/global/en/wisdom" target="_blank">Isha's wisdom</a></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Not only
Sadhguru’s words touched my spirit but cleared all the mind fog instantly! Each
cell in my body resonated with Sadhguru’s philosophies and teachings, and I
fell in love with his spirit. :)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">That’s why
I decided to pursue the <a href="https://www.innerengineering.com/ieo-new/" target="_blank">Inner Engineering</a> course, </span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">and the Universe
gifted me the chance this year in March. Though one doesn’t need any prior
knowledge, practice or belief before joining IE, but in my case somewhere I felt
that my previous teachings were forming a beautiful base to grasp the IE
lessons! I am not comparing IE with any of my previous learning but I seriously
find a deep connect among all of them.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">IE’s 4-day
program was extremely nourishing for the mind, body and spirit. It deeply
cleansed us (the participants) at all the levels – emotional, mental, physical
and spiritual.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Personally,
I saw myself gaining more hold upon my potential, rising at another level of transformation,
diving a little more deep to rediscover the reality of my true self! Though the
impact of this enlightenment cannot be explained in words as the benefits are numerous!
Hence, I am highlighting the topmost precious qualities that you can imbibe
with the Inner Engineering.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Those who are touched by Shree Sadhguru’s
words are fortunate as they know how magically His words enhance our psyche!
When we perceive them, we get to know the true meaning of life and our existence
in its entirety! Gaining deeper perspective means realising that we are more
than just this template of physical body – we are that metaphysical aspect which
is always radiating with exuberance each moment… the light that fills our heart
up with the joy of being alive, gratitude for everything that we possess, and
curiosity to learn new things and grow in each dimension in life!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Once we feel this exuberance, we are
connected to our higher self – the supreme energy that is holding our form of
life as of now in our current moment; that is guiding and protecting our state
of being alive!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Once we have this realization, there
is no looking back! We discover a new self, an awakened being… who sees all the
dots as connected, who sees from the eyes of the universe, who experiences self
presence in every other being. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Inner Engineering has true potential

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Inner Engineering’s endeavor is to
bring calmness to our mind, strength to our body and liberation to our soul so
that we realize our real worth and true nature. I was spell bound to observe
the subtle changes in my system in the beginning during the 4 days of the IE
course as we consumed home cooked raw vegan food, performed Yogic practices each
day, listened to the enlightened words by Sadhguru, and spent time in serenity.

of our mind float in the form of positive or negative energy in the Universe. Whatever
is inside our mind highly impacts our outside world - our actions,
relationships, health, finance and almost everything in our life! Hence, it is essential
to observe and reflect upon our inner thought patterns – the ones that serve
and uplift us; and those that drain us!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Engineering gifts one with the acumen of identifying and understanding the
thought process! It becomes very evident that rather than being a prisoner to
negative thoughts, we can actually practice to direct our thinking and weave
patterns of positive thoughts and thereby create positive vibrations!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This can be well described with the
analogy of hardware-software compatibility! To access a high-end software, we
must have a compatible high-end hardware device over which the software can be

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Similarly, to sense, gain and
sustain the high vibrational healing energy which is like the high-end
software, it is required that we have a well functional hardware of a healthy
body. It is only when we start practicing the subtle body movements as taught
in Yoga, we learn to sense our energies, and we learn to transform them into
their lighter and brighter version. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

important Yogi lifestyle changes; slowly and gradually we get better in
developing a physical body that is well-compatible with the magical, life-transformational

transforming them from gross to subtle, such that they make us life-sensitive in
a way that we bloom with the fragrance of our existence every moment! Once we gain
this kind of life-sensitivity, we naturally learn to be compassionate for all
including our own self; we learn to respect the time and energy of all
including our own self! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

understand that each entity on Earth is a form of pure energy called “Spirit” and
has manifested for a temporary time. Therefore, we all truly value wellness of humanity

culture! That’s why we feel that we are “soul friends” and “light workers”! :)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

time, there was a beautiful dove… flying high… soaring across the gentle breeze
of the sky! Though he loved his flying gig but unlike others in his community,
he used to get tired soon! No, he wasn’t old but an indolent creature! He desired
for a life of leisure and fun, where he wouldn’t have to hunt for food every
day, and could be fed by someone!</span><br />

tremendous health benefits bringing peace and calmness which relaxes our state

is a technique where we witness the fruit of our success in our imagination. This

goodness derived from exercise is more than rewarding, especially if done in mornings!
It’s as simple as that – our body needs movement to stay healthy. Exercising is
a single most effective and natural way of increasing our dopamine level which
is responsible for our general happiness and pleasantness. Low levels of
dopamine often result in fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, food cravings, and
restlessness, to name a few!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

mind attracts approximately 60,000 thoughts! Some of them may be purposeless but
others might come out to be dream-fulfilling! Hence, Hal recommends transporting
our thoughts into words, especially in the morning hour. This not only helps us
to clear the mind fog but create our thought journal to let us reveal our

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This principle states that we need to be deeply aware of ourselves and our
surroundings. Considering everything, now we need to identify the activities
which are not working well for us! Once the identification is done, we need to
prevent them from occurring. Such kind of awareness is called Kinesthetic and Proprioceptive awareness.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Kinesthetic senses create ability to sense that our motion signals us about
the things which are not beneficial for us while we are doing them!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dictionary states the meaning of Inhibition as, “a
feeling that makes one self-conscious and unable to act in a relaxed or natural
way!” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Automatic reactions are primarily a part of our habits
that we usually don’t notice! And these habits impact us at a deeper psychic
level! Hence, it is essential for us to notice such reactions in order to
change them if they are producing ill-effects! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">According this principle, we learn how to know our
inhibitions of automatic reaction. Once done, it is easier to take a moment to
think and then exhibit an intended response instead of a rushing unsteady
reaction that is the root cause for stiffness in the body!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to directing our conscious intention towards choosing our response after that

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here are the basic steps to make an individual get into a relaxed and
balanced state:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">1. Focus on your breath – focus
how it comes and goes.</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">2. Think of something pleasant</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">, </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">something beautiful.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">3. By this time, the muscles in
your back and face become naturally relaxed and mobile because that’s what
breathing does, it works autonomically.</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">4. Allow your ribs to expand.</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">5. Allow your nostrils open wide
as you inhale.</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">6. Keep being interested in your
pleasant thought, because it is your interest in the thought and your pleasant
mood which allows your breath to become as light as a feather!</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">7. Do not try hard to breath! That
makes the breathing stiff! Let it flow naturally! Let your vocal chords come
together naturally.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><span style="color: #741b47;">[PS: Anna Jois is the founder of </span><a href="http://profitsuperstar.se/"><span style="color: blue;">profitsuperstar.se</span></a></i><span style="color: #741b47;"><i>, an
innovation company that helps business owners, entrepreneurs, experts,
lecturers, and consultants to reach newer heights. When I asked Anna, why she
selected the given name for her company, she said, “Level up” refers to “taking
action” and “Innovation” refers to “creativity”. We help our clients to level
up their game, their ideas and Innovation!] :)</i><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anna then asked few people to narrate their imaginary trip to
the fields. She asked how their experience was! Someone said it was scary,
mysterious and uncomforting – the unknown fields, the slope, the peculiar gate,
the house, everything...!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While Anna received a different response from someone else –
they said it was comforting and beautiful…! Well, my experience of this
activity was enjoyable too! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

and freshness all around… cherishing the glowing sunshine! Then as I pass by
the fields, I witness a rainbow coloured slope whose sides are ornamented with
Tulips. The slope drops me at a magnificent house with a huge Lotus shaped
gate. I am absolutely spellbound at this sight, wondering who lives inside the
mesmerising abode!” :)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Isn’t it interesting to observe this difference! The difference
that builds our contrasting world of s & blacks, heights & depths,
happiness & sadness…! Contrast is what adds variety to life…! Contrast is
what defines the path towards our purpose of life! Without contrast everything
would just simmer and melt into insipid monochrome!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When you understand the “What”; the next thing to clarify is the

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Why” is the reason behind your “What”! Ask yourself why I need
what I need! Why should I go in that direction? Why should I do what I intend
to do! When you raise such questions in your mind, you definitely come across
all the answers!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After understanding the “What” and the “Why”; the next essential
element to know is the zone of “Obstacles” – the barriers that stop you from
acting upon your “What”! The hard fact is that obstacles will always be there,
no matter what you choose to do! The thing that you have to do is - accept the existence
of the challenge. Once accepted, you will then begin to find ways to break the
barriers and rise above the challenges.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

is more important to become calm and make generous efforts to incline the mind
towards positive thoughts. Observe the thoughts popping up in your head.
Understand the nature of thoughts – they are always random, they are not
permanent! A bad thought can always be altered and transformed into a good one!
Do not react as reaction often is the game spoiler! Reaction triggers emotions!
Do not allow emotions that are associated with your thoughts to run you wild!
Keep your calm and take time in building your response! That’s the best way to manage
your own self!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

one in a million who<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I kept changing it gradually… It took me years of struggles and deep driven
thoughts to reach the place where I am, and yes it gives me opportunity to sing
too!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A. What is the smallest thing that you could start with…! Make
that smallest spot as the initiation point for your goal! See, it’s a chain!
You need to do it every day… EVERY SINGLE DAY to excel at it…! That’s it!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

understand it; practice it; align with it… visualize that it is taking you to
the place where you want to be! Realise the potential of one small act… doing
it regularly with sincerity each and every day definitely makes it grow big one

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Revive your mindset frequently! If you do not start it deep, it
is going to be superficial! You need to learn to fail! That’s the only way to
learn how to succeed! Elon Musk said, “If you are not failing then you are
definitely not innovating! You are captured in the safe zone!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And whatever objective you dream of… ensure it is people
oriented! Have genuine intention and interest to bring goodness to people in any
way that you can think of! Share your values with them, teach them what they
can do to empower themselves and be happy! But this is also true that you
cannot coach a person who doesn’t want to be coached! So first create that desire
to learn in them, and then recognize those are willing to learn!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A. I often tell people that where they are right now, there must
be at least one thing that they can begin with. For example, Entrepreneurs are
always driven but they often forget about the benefits they are already having
and rather focus on building something else very rapidly! This leads to frustration
that makes them quit! You should not forget to count what you already have!
Innovation may be about a new idea but it always begins with the existing thing
at hand.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A. It’s the mindset! Just throw yourself into the world and see
what happens! I’ll share my story...when I was 12, I was very shy and afraid of
singing loud because of my meek voice! But, slowly I practiced and overcame
that challenge!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

So once you identify what is it that scares you; you gain an opportunity to develop
in that area! Isn’t that interesting! :)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to remind yourself often - No matter what, you are going to do it! It’s not
necessary to know how you will do it, just trust yourself that you will! Even
if you fail, don’t forget that there are many more chances to succeed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Magnus:
</b>Mindfulness is a primordial concept. If we talk about Buddhist realm, dating
back to 2000 years ago, it originated as ‘one-mind doctrine’ which refers to the
‘single realm of experience’.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mindfulness can
be defined as complete awareness of one’s thoughts, feelings and emotions
without judging them! It is when one is totally aware of the thoughts, feelings,
and emotions, and is completely non-judgmental about them all; then it is
considered that the individual has reached a meditative state called ‘mindfulness’.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It also goes as
per ethical base. You are aware to do mindful things because you deliberately
wish to increase the positive patterns in mind and decrease the negative ones.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I read about a university
professor, Jon Kabat-Zinn (University of Massachusetts) who did a clinical
research of bringing mindfulness in the field of medicine. There were patients
suffering from Cancer and Psoriasis who were exposed to mindfulness. After some
time of practice, it was observed that they could easily deal with their pain,
anxiety and stress. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He knew it was a
quite tricky to incorporate concepts like ‘mindfulness’ into clinical world but
he knew it would bring immense relief to the patients. In clinical world we
need evidences but that’s okay, you get evidences only when you first start
doing the thing with a sense of trust! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

pioneer to open the doors of the research world for mindfulness. He envisioned
making this technique of mindfulness reach out to more people. He had good
networking with the Buddhist teachers, and used to invite legends like Dalai
Lama to the research projects.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Magnus:</b> I grew
in small town in south of Sweden. I used to be under stress and anxiety! I
encountered problems in sitting still in the classroom. That was when I was
15-16 years. During those days, my mother had decided to sponsor a child from Tibet
who had lost his family. The boy came to our home when I was 18. This boy had
brought with him a bundle of wisdom on the subject of enlightenment. Sometime
later, when he left from our place, he had left few books (written by Dalai
Lama)!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That was the
beginning point for me to come close to the Tibetan culture and read these
books. There was a book called “HOW TO MEDITATE”. At the back of this book, somewhere
there was a small note, “If you like it, try it! If not, search something else!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And I felt really
nice reading this note, something stirred me deep within! It was mysterious and
obscure but I felt this as an open-minded thing. I read all such Buddhist
books, and realized a sense of stillness surrounding me. That was the time when
I felt peace of mind! I felt pure stillness…! That opened up a special world
and I felt really special! I had been meditating ever since then!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Then the mind needs to be trained. And at the last the techniques and analytics
of the meditation can be explained.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One needs to balance and align the masculine
and the feminine energies of the body. Masculine energy is outwards (action)
and the feminine is inwards (intention). This helps you in prioritising your
stuff, thereby bringing clarity of whether something is significant! And as you
move with this clarity, you dedicate your time to fulfil your passion each
single day!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Be mindful about where your time gets
consumed in the entire day! If it is worthy and towards the direction of your
passion, increase the amount of time you spend. It is okay if you can only
devote 10 minutes each day for your passion, but don’t forget to be regular! Remember,
with consistency you lose the pressure! And when you are relaxed, you can
definitely spend valuable time with your family and meet your priorities with
right amount of time.<span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="EN-GB">After all, </span>everything is important! Both, passion
and family have their own significance. There is no black or white, everything
lies in between! There is no one solution. You need to find out more solutions
and then make decisions focusing on the most appropriate choice meeting your
life scenario. For example, if you are the only earning member, you cannot quit
your job just to fulfil your passion; you have to be responsible about the needs
of your family, and only after fulfiling your responsibilities, with a happy
heart, you can devote substantial amount of time for your passion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>A2. </b>Take small steps and break them further
down. Face the challenges! Remember, fear highlights those areas in life where
we really need to grow. Give attention to that fear. You can even take crawling

comes on its own when you are relaxed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Don't focus on the goal. Rather focus on
the process. The outcome is going to be awesome as you intended or it may even be
better than what you might have thought of! Chunk down the stuff! It’s easier
to shape up small things, not the big ones! Create a balance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

might be particular of WHAT we speak, but HOW we speak is the actual game

Toastmasters, we track our success story of public speaking by learning the
“How” tactics of communication. Thanks to the ever supportive group of people!
Just as a desirable packaging adds to the true essence of the product inside;

effective communication includes a good speaker and a good listener. That’s the
way of developing an authentic association between two people. Also, listening should
be “good” for the very purpose of gaining perfect understanding of the speaker’s
original intent; because it is only then that the listener gains the ability to
candidly respond to the speaker. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Toastmasters, filling the comments section of the feedback form, conforms to

the listener’s opinion of their speech. Also, the person in evaluator’s role

in no regard do we hold any right to remark their orientation as “negative”

speakers against different performance criteria. They intend to provide a
genuinely unbiased response while recommending the alternatives for the part of
speech that could have been better. They strictly ignore using negative remarks

its regard refers to the various aspects of the speech and not to the speaker

is an art! So is public speaking as well! Presentation is the key factor in
both the cases. A story may be fictitious but a lot can be mapped to the real
world communication. Just as a story has a plot – a beginning, body line and an
end; in the similar way, an effective communication demands to follow an
identical structure of organisation. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

begins with language; and language is made up of grammar, i.e. the basic rules
including words, phrases, idioms, metaphors and many others expressions. Ever
noticed how wonderful it feels to learn a new word or a medium of expression and
implement the same while communicating! The beauty of any language is observed
only when we keep updating ourselves with new vocabulary. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Toastmasters, we emphasize on polishing our English speaking skills. Each time
when a meeting begins, we get an opportunity to immerse into the world of words

that all becomes effortless in an environment of wise and cheerful beings!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

me repeat that cliché – “Time is important”; but at times we slip off it! An
effective communication does involve time management! Speaking isn’t the same
as gossiping! It’s far more a serious act, rather a wise act! Said that, it

denotes listening to your own words and knowing the already known thoughts!
Knowing other’s perspective is essential as it shows you the other world! Hence
conversations are a beautiful way to make your voice reach to someone’s heart
rather than only to their mind. Nobody wants to be ruled! Terminate that dictating
mode and convey your message with compassion and open-mindedness. </span></span></div>

commend yourself... not for what went wrong; but for that little thing that went
right! It’s just the matter of shifting your perception and resetting your

complained about! It’s not that problems would stop appearing but you’ll probably
build up more endurance while looking for the solutions. </span></span></div>
