2018 has been a difficult year for many energy workers like you and me. And being a person who always looks at the glass half full we have still managed to live with a smiling face.  The year had many revelations..many closures ..many difficult times with finances and health...and many wounds coming to the surface to be healed once and for all.  Many times I have had a bad day and spent time anxious stressed and in extreme pain and agony. And probably had one good thing in the day which I was grateful for..still choosing to highlight it be it through my work ..my dance.. or quotes /Video on my Facebook page or blog and cheering up my followers and readers. The point is we are all humans beings and emoting is as natural as breathing. So understand that we are working on ourselves every single day. Even when we aren’t. Its ok to rest ..to take care of yourself and to say a No to anything that doesn’t honour you I learnt many lessons this year the most important were  - To s

As I am writing my book on Self Love I am healing. At times I feel I m recovering from a long term illness. I call this period spiritual convalescence. Every person every action is triggering me. I m learning to trust myself more. I am learning to enjoy my own company. I am learning to speak the truth even if it means putting myself first and others last. Everyone around me I had put on pedestal and worshipped is becoming secondary. All the times I have been unkind to me putting them first and myself last have been learning lessons. Sure I love them still. But I love myself more. I know my boundaries or rather I am still learning them. All of a sudden people relationships which was my world has started falling apart because I realised I am no longer giving myself the love the respect and the care which I deserve I m learning to say a No. I am learning to take care of my body by putting in fresh live foods and ample water. I am learning to accept the things that can’t be changed and

A continuation from my previous post https://philowini.blogspot.com/2018/03/magic-before-learning-magic-part-1.html I learnt so much in Morgan Stanley ..made friends for life and for the first time in my life felt appreciated for my work.My professional life definitely benefited as I learnt professionalism, how to keep calm even under pressure and most important I interacted with myriad of people across the world from Japanese who referred me as ‘Chube san’ to Europeans, Americans, Asians and realised that the world is such a diverse place.  In October 2009 I was introduced to The Secret- a book by Rhonda Byrne. I remember reading the book and finishing it in a night. I started implementing the Law of attraction for everything and started seeing great results in life. I started spreading the word among colleagues and friends and very soon law of attraction became a way of life. My performance got better and quality of life got even better. That was the time I started sending mo

Closing Cycles: by Paulo Coelho One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave (in the past) the moments of life that have finished. You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away. That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home. Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts – and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place. Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them. Stop turning on your Emotional

" you don't reach Serendib by plotting a course for it. You have to set out in good faith for elsewhere and lose your bearings ... serendipitously." (John Barth, The Last Voyage of  Somebody the Sailor) English author Horace Walpole for coined the word  serendipity  on an old name for Sri Lanka,  Serendip Everytime you travel a land beckons you.No travels are random .. every time you travel it is that pact your soul has with that land that you are just honoring. Not knowing why i just packed my bags in mere 2 hours after a crazy week at work And just headed to the airport. This was the first time I went with no  research on the place..without knowing what the itinerary was nor having any expectations of the place or the trip other than ofcourse meeting and spending time with my family based in on other side of the world . I was may be just looking for a break. This year had started on a not very good note health wise. And on top of it I was overworked. Not

Our Vibration is unique and it is what makes us - Why fit in when you can stand out? We have to respect the fact that each of us is an unique individual and capable of different things. Before we judge that someone is not good enough understand that they might have different talents and aptitudes which the world may not even be aware of. It is really difficult for creatives to survive in a world that is full of left brained, over practical ,logical persons. However the moment  you look at everything with an open eye you ll realise each has its own skill . This applies to Adults as much as it is to Children. Many times when adults are not doing well at work inspite of hard work ,they get into self blame and think they aren’t good enough. The fact could be they are capable of doing better in a profession which suits their vibrations. They just have to discover what they are. Remember it is never too late to start again You are enough You are as good as anyone else Be yourself Th

“You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.” — Buddha

I was sitting at the Bandaranaike Airport in Sri Lanka waiting for my flight. After checking in my baggage knowing I had a lot of time before taking off - I opened my favourite writer Gabrielle Bernstein’s - The Universe has your back and read it with a new perspective. I had read the book a year ago but now it was making more sense. I almost had tears in my eyes while reading a few paras. I expressed heartfelt gratitude in my heart to the beautiful author for writing this H ow many times we honour the present moment without ruminating in the past or being excessively worried about the future. Last 4 months I have been learning several lessons in my journey among which a major lesson is the power of surrender. It is like taking a backseat in the movie of your life and asking the Universe to be the director. Initially it was very very tough. I always have been an alpha female high achiever wanting everything. But then I decided to remove the obsession and be in the flow. On the

A few months ago one of my WhatsApp group was planning a reunion. Discussions kept happening and most of my classmates remembered some amazing fond memories.It was nice to discuss so many memories and almost relive those beautiful moments . But after some time the conversation started getting boring . Most kept saying “ those were the days” “ how much beautiful the life was” “ oh wish we could go back” " so Nostalgic" Very soon I got busy in my work and had to skip myself out of the conversation. When I checked my phone later -I saw 300 unread messages. “Woah” my brain thought. “Finally the plan for reunion is made “I kept thinking to myself.  But surprisingly there was no plan. The long scrolling list was only about how difficult life was right now and how the past supposedly good old days were better. There were series of messages only talking about the past/ childhood-classroom nostalgia..blah blah. I felt so drained by the entire conversation. And hence I inter

Super excited I couldn’t sleep at night.It was going to be my first trek the next morning.I was excited, anxious, a bit nervous too but had decided to go. I got up in the morning 15 mins before the alarm but with severe headache and nausea.But this unexpected twist made me wonder what was happening.Couldnt stop the severe headache, nausea and dizziness.I showered got ready and wore my trek gear and the feeling worsened.I barely could get up from my bed. It was 5:30 am on my clock I was not sure what I was going to do .I picked up my phone and called up my friend who had arranged this trek.“Shivani- I think I ll unable to make it” “Hey Ash what happened? Are you okay?”She asked me concerned.I kept telling her exactly what I was feeling “ You ll be fine - I ll send you some Reiki” she said. I too kept giving reiki to my forehead (ajna chakra) and stomach (the solar plexus).I wasn’t really sure how I was going to get up from the bed as was feeling extremely sick. Meanwhile my

When Destiny Rejects it is for Your Highest Good Last 2 days while doing work to file my income tax returns I got irritated. I realised doing compliance and mechanical technical work stresses me out so much. Basically I realised this is not my type of work. Going through excel sheets and noting all my income earned in last year and computing blah blah ..felt like so much irritation .I kept thinking when will this work get over and when can I go back and do my work which gives me so much joy and expansion. Then a certain thing struck me and I went in complete awe of myself Very few people know I had attempted Chartered Accountancy in my college days and that too unsuccessfully. After passing 10th with decent 84% I took commerce to much dismay of my parents. My mother was extremely disappointed knowing I wont go for science. However she and Dad supported me saying ‘if you are happy I am happy’ . Most of my friends went for science and they as well as their parents too assumed th

As a child I was not very strong and never athletic. I was a good student academically but I have not so good memories of school sports. I remember when - forget winning I couldn’t even complete a school running race and I cried when I went home. My mum gave me a hug and told me- its ok and one day or the other I ll be strong enough to run and exercise. During my final year of graduation I suffered from acute migraines and was continuously on medications for almost 2 years. It not only impacted my performance in college but also made me gain excess weight.I was so irritated of taking medicines and showing very little improvements but being bombarded with side effects like excess sleep and gain of weight.One fine day I decided to stop taking medicines. I remember telling my parents. "It is okay even if I die but I refuse to take any of these medications” I stopped taking medicines since then. My migraines reduced and I started feeling better. I started using alternate techniqu

What do you do before you fall asleep? Your subconscious mind is active before you fall asleep and first thing when you wake up in the morning. Make sure you choose what you do then very carefully as it sets a very powerful impact on your life. Many of us unknowningly go to bed angry, worrying or fearful ..Then many watch aggressive movies or disturbing tv series or even spend time on the phone gossiping or judging others .. And worst is just before many people sleep they cr iticise themselves and keep thinking of everything that went wrong. Eventually many fall in the viscous circle of chemical/ alcohol to fall asleep All these subconsciously sublimely affect our mind and eventually the body and thus can be seeds sown for long term illness which may appear very later in life and which are termed as age related problems So what is the best thing you can do? - Pray - Express Gratitude to the universe - Listen to soft music or meditations - Hydrate yourself with a cup of warm wate

When you are driving on the road and you encounter a speed breaker. Do you stop and crib that your “ drive is terrible or unfair “ or cry and feel miserable about driving. Or do you feel its a part of the journey. A good driver would see a speed breaker from distance reduce his speed a bit so that the ride doesn’t get bumpy and return back to the speed once you pass the speed breaker. A good driver knows how to handle a speed breaker. Sometimes speed breakers only save you from accidents. So remember stay calm when you see them. Life is like that. Imagine when you are working on your goals and all of sudden face a bumpy breaker. Do you give up and say it is impossible to achieve or do you just tweak your life to find a way? Do you understand that they are just speed breakers and have patience and faith. And understand life is a journey and no matter what you ll achieve your goals! Remember that no matter how much tired you are in life and whatever difficulties come up just s
