Tips to Increase Intuition

“Everyone has intuition. The more you acknowledge it, the stronger and more accurate it gets,” says professional spiritual and medical intuitive Marla Mitchell. Like the muscles in our body if we don’t use we don’t realise but when we use like in Gym , Pilates reminds us wow never knew about their existence :)

I will be sharing few tips below how to increase our intuitions on daily basis:

1. Meditation: Daily meditations - Clearing your mind of repetitive thoughts and worries will make it easier to listen to your intuition. Find a meditative technique you are comfortable using and practice.  More on it you can refer to my previous newsletter or blog here
2. Breath in and out: relaxes mind and body so you can me more clear. Simple techniques helps to see clear picture
3. Connect to nature: ground yourself more often
4. Listen to Gut : out stomach say if the decision we are making is right or wrong.
5. Soles of the feet to the earth : Grounding helps in being presence
6. Rose quartz/ amethyst crystal on 3rd eye: Activates your 3rd eye chakra for intuition
7. Clear your mind - Write things down, emptying helps in making space for practice. Start your Intuition journal so you refer back
8. Affirmations : brings in positivity and trust. " My Intuition is always right", " My decisions bring in prosperity" et
9. Practice : Yes practice more of it and trust yourself
10. 
    

Hope this helps in decision making or if you're at cross junction in your life

Happiness!!! How to invite into your life

Yes in recent times we are so busy that we are forgetting what and where Happiness lies and it’s a situation of bring it back into our lives.

Think of a situation last time you felt happy? [Pause]
We would take minutes to realise it and this incident could be from a past year or years etc but not the fact that when you consumed your coffee this morning you were happy too!!!
Yes being in presence and enjoying is happiness..

But most of think Happiness lies in exotic holidays, big salary, big house everything related to that is driven by materials.

There are many instances in 24hrs we are happy but we never get chance to acknowledge it,
Like for instance- coffee with yourself, colleague or friend, someone says you look beautiful or nice, when you pick your favourite clothes to wear, walk in park, beach, time spent with your kids today, or your pet, when you spoke to your distant friend, when you saw funny thing on bill board etc..

I will be sharing you simple techniques that I started following in my journey to bring back happiness in life and affirmation that you can use:
1.       Smile: a simple smile on face brings me aware that is the ultimate of everything. If I don’t smile means I am missing something. And this helps me to think what it is and need to let it go
Affirmation:" I am full of Laughter today; I am letting go so I can smile"

2.       Relax: once the physical body and mind are relaxed you will see things differently
Affirmation: “I am relaxing in being myself" “My body and mind are relaxing"

3.       Quieten: Mind controls us as everyone one. Our thoughts create our future. The lesser the worries, thoughts the more the happiness and space we create to make our life more beautiful
Affirmation: “My mind is Quiet" "My thoughts are creating my future and they are full of energy and positive"

4.       Nature walk: Being grounded in nature brings connection to who we are and this helps us to understand the core meaning of our life. Simple walk with bare feet on grass or sand or in your own home and feel the energetic
Affirmation:" I am Grounded" “I enjoy the nature"

5.       Breathing:  We all breath take shallow breadth but try deep breadths in and out from our core abdomen and slowly take each breadth this is quiet effective in instant relaxation, quiet mind, get the anger out.
Affirmation: “I am relaxing myself with every breadth I take" “My whole body relaxes with my breadths"

6.       Gratitude: Simply being grateful for everything we have in our life, yes everything could be the lessons learned or not so good moments we had. This helps us to realise the value of life and attract nicer things
Affirmation: “I am Grateful for all things happening in my life" “Thanks you universe for providing me everything that gives me happiness"

7.       Meditation / Visualisation: 'I am happy' say this and it brings happiness in our world. And helps to simply enjoy the small things in life like having fun in beach, walking along the park and see the baby in buggy smiling.
Affirmation: “I am Happy" “I am calm" “I love myself" “I love my life" " My life is full of fun and Laughter"

8.       Forgive: Forgiveness helps us to empty lot of thoughts and gives space to feed in positive thoughts. Life is much more than holding on a grudge for someone. We only hurt ourselves than any good
Affirmation "I am forgiving ……… [Some person or situation] And this helps for my higher good" “I am letting go of any thoughts that don’t serve right for me now"

"I usually say the aim of life is to be happy. Our existence is based on hope. Our life is rooted in the opportunity to be happy, not necessarily wealthy, but happy within our own minds. If we only indulge in sensory pleasure, we’ll be little different from animals. In fact, we have this marvellous brain and intelligence; we must learn to use it" - Dalai Lama

Fresh Start of the week

Last 2 Mondays in a row I was feeling tired and constantly in need to caffeine and was not able to focus on my work. And then I realised I was surrounded by many more people like me who couldn’t be fresh on start of a week or was constantly tired and needed the day to finish sooner.

Few things that I realised was most of us weren't sleeping well on Sunday nights due to the thought of work, routines, mechanical life back on etc. etc.
And when we wake up we say ' oh gosh its Monday already where did my weekend go and what happened' and it's very important that first thought, first thing comes to our mind is how we lead our day. If we think in a sad way the day is going to be like and we will be upset and we are attracting negative energies and worries. But if we think positive and smile and wake up our day is miraculously going to be fun, happy, wonderful and all easy going. Stop worrying, stop complaining what the god hasn’t given us, appreciate what we have and show gratitude to attract more in our life"

So on 3rd Monday I tried differently which was tried to be conscious of how I was feeling in the mornings in general and this particular Sunday night I paid more attention and which had an amazing effect and would highly recommend to try for anyone feeling like me on Mondays or any weekdays. Unless we try we won't know if it works either.

If you would like you to start your every day or especially on Monday morning with an affirmation. When you first wake up and open your eyes, here are some affirmations you can say:

"I am having a great day today"
"What a beautiful day it is"
“I love myself for who I am"
“I am having a fun filled day"
“Miracles are going to happen today"
"I am going to be surrounded by happy souls and positive things"

"An affirmation is a beginning point. It opens the way. You are saying to your subconscious mind: I am taking responsibility. I am aware that there is something I can do to change.
If you continue to say the affirmation, either you will be ready to let whatever it is go, and the affirmation will become true; or it will open a new avenue to you. 
Let’s affirm: Every thought I think is creating my future
“Few years ago I didn’t believe in this when I read Louise Hay book but now I can't be without having an affirmation to create my life the way I want :)

Open your eyes. If you are surrounded by your loving partner greet them with a smile and wish a happy day and give kisses and hugs to children as by doing this not only you are benefitted but also your family.  
You can say these affirmations while still on the bed or print this out and keep on the wall or bedside. Say them for the entire week. Add your own affirmations in present tense and see how you can change your life by a single thought.

Have a great weekend and wonderful fresh days.
Love and Light

Kids back to School

Like every parent I am bit amused this evening. Looking forward for my baby stepping into a new world of life. Well this is where the life begins. The journey of ourselves who we are and our identity.
This is second time I am going through and for last time too. 
Kids are excited to face the new place, new friends, new games, new teacher, new school etc.. but for me its always going to be my babies forever.. 

All we can do is to grow with them, learn with them, feel their challenges and be friends. Never let your worries cross through them. Its the best times ever they are doing to have. The innocence of these kids don't let it getaway in the learning process. The creativity and imagination can only increase as they have no fear no boundaries. I love to be a kid and its such a pure feeling ,we knew nothing yet we did say we know everything :), the world was what we created and what and whom we wanted to be with ... the imaginary friends, fairies, spiderman, barbies etc.

Be a Kid again Love <3

YES YOU CAN DO IT :)

How many times have you heard yourself say, "I deserve better than this"? Maybe you are referring to your relationship, your job or how people treat you. Are you doing anything to change things or are you putting up with it? Make a list of where you can make changes. Small tweaks here and there can create huge improvements, but settling for how it is will not make you happy. What will you do today to make it better?
If you have a problem do you face it head on or bury your head in the sand? The head burying may seem like the easy solution but the problem never goes away and you end up feeling bad anyway. So challenge yourself to face your problem. Break it down and work on ways you can sort it out. Look at others who were faced with a similar dilemma and ask what they did to work it out. Next time don't take the sand option.
Focusing on the problem is always a worry and a negative energy. Think back take time and bring back positive thoughts
Trying to please everyone is always a thankless task, and is not usually possible. And at times even trying to please one person, whether it's a family member or a work colleague can be very challenging. There is only so much you can do, so sometimes the best thing to do is to go with the flow.
We all go through this challenges time to time and not an easy one to face but taking that time out and thinking through ourselves will help us to be grounded and think of solution rather than the problem.

YES YOU CAN DO IT :)
Happy Monday Everyone
