I am an introvert, keeping me to myself. What can I speak about myself when I am not what I appear to be? Yet to adhere to the advice of my of newly found sister Donna Lynes-Miller the founder of GourmetStation, doing decent business of selling meals to the fast moving Americans not having time on their daily agenda, I put forth some of the aspects of my present life. Until 24 years ago, at the age of 36, I was living a life of earning, eating and sleeping with honesty, sincerity and hard work, without a pinch of spiritualism. I was a strong non-vegetarian in terms of me being a Hindu by birth. Hindus observe some days of the week, a couple of allotted days of the month and some special days of the year for fasting or having a vegetarian diet. I observed nothing of that in spite of my elders pestering me for it. Life took a diversion on the path in the flow without viewing or targeting destination or destiny. On the 4th day of the 13-day workshop of pranayams and meditation, known as Siddha Samadhi Yoga, I lost all taste for non-vegetarian food, apart from non essential eateries like, tea/coffee/deserts or any kind of extras! In India non-vegetarian means excluding eggs but not milk. I however learnt about not consuming milk and I adhered to it. It would be worth mentioning here that I had joined this workshop with reluctance only to accompany a relative who needed it for his physical ailments. He walked out of the workshop on 4th day due to the mental beating it offers to clear deep routed blocks and I lovingly finished it religiously. This was my first step to spiritualism. It was followed by Reiki, about 3 years later and then there was no looking back. Block after block from my previous karmas got cleared as I kept participating in various esoteric and occult workshops. By today I have turned out to be a good assistor in healing, energy work, spirit releaser, etc. The most important aspect of my living all along my life has been to accept life as it comes. I have had bad times with finance, family, social, and health. But I have never been dealt severely by the events to ruin my pattern of living life as it comes. Problems did not appear to be problems. Solutions came along effortlessly. I have not only had good times but very good times too. I have however never left my ground during such times. I believe currency is current. It will keep flowing in its own direction. I only need to move with the current to float. I did not bring money with me. It came to me from elsewhere. It does not belong to me. I am a care taker of it. I let it flow where it needs to. I see to it that I make a judicious use of it for my living and do not abuse it on extravaganza. In the process I have come across opportunities of teething which I have most of the times not blocked. Articles by Ramesh Shani |
