If you want this… practice that

Posted on September 17, 2023 by Bhanu Misra Marya

I was able to get over a summer reading slump with a fast paced thriller – which I thought meant I could then start another book that peaked my curiosity. I love personal success and personal dev books (unfortunately, they are also the cause of me being 1 book behind schedule on my “read 12 books in 2023” self-set challenge).

OOTD, Fit Check, 40s Fashion, Summer Style, Fashionista, Spiritual Advice, Self Care, Personal Success, Printed Skirt, Blazer Vest, Nude Shoes

Skirt & Body Suit – Reitmans | Shoes – Call it Spring | Blazer Vest – Suzy Sheir | Purse – Target

Although I also believe these types of book don’t necessarily help someone, unless that person actually executes on said advice. However, books can be eye opening and for me personally I like to spread the word so to speak. Whether it helps me create content for this blog, a caption for an IG post or an insightful tweet, I feel it lets me help raise the vibration of this planet, even if the wisdom only reaches 1 other human.

Anywho, the reason why I shared that thought process was because if you are out there and you are not sure you should share you idea, opinion or art (remember as long as you aren’t hurting anyone) – you should do it anyway. When we share something, we always put our own unique spin on it – which inherently makes it compliment the millions of other ideas that already exist. So in conclusion – I may not execute on everything I read in a personal success book, but I’m sure to share the wealth of knowledge! But because I want to continuously up my creative game (this?), I need to get more comfortable with sharing (that!)

On the note of sharing… I’m also sharing a quick list on how to raise your vibes when you want to get to the next emotional level/frequency. Want to read more on this topic, check out more from my blog: here, here and here.

Abundance ↔ Gratitude

Joy ↔ Service to Others

Freedom ↔ Laugh More

Calm Mind ↔ Nature Walk

Intuition ↔ Meditation

Peace ↔ Journal

Confidence ↔ Self Compassion

How to come back to your higher self

Posted on January 8, 2023 by Bhanu Misra Marya

With 2023’s first major lunar event just passing us, I thought I might be a good time to talk about how we can really show up as our true, authentic selves. I’ve been fascinated by the moon forever, but more recently, I love tracking where it is in the sky, the phase and how we as human’s have been connected to the moon for millennia.

The moon helps us identify with ourselves. But understanding ourselves is a journey and on that journey there will be phases (pun intended) where you are truly in tune with yourself and times where you feel like you can barely see yourself at all (…just like the phases of our moon).

So it’s in those darker times, where the moon is not visible and you are struggling to live as your highest self, that we need to find our ways back to your path – your true authentic self.

Try these activities the next time you feel like you need raise your vibes and come back to your higher self.

Gratitude: In the morning, randomly through the day and before bed. I always write a gratitude list in the morning, use the DayOne app to quickly write a gratitude list at any time of day and then mentally say what I’m grateful for before bed.
Love for yourself & others: Love comes in all shapes and sizes, even more so, the the love you have for yourself. Take time to care for your self (whether that’s acting on your goals, washing your face consistently, doing your favourite hobby or taking a weekly bubble bath). When it comes to others, making time for friends and loved ones, hugging and forgiving quickly are equally important.
Eat high vibe foods: When I’m eating processed, fast or fried foods, I immediately feel my vibrations sink. Not only do my jeans feel extra snug but I’m usually in an energy slump and crabby to myself and others. When I’m eating clean and a variety of foods it’s easier to feel good about myself, my environment and my situation.
Consume high vibe content: It’s not only what you eat but what you listen & watch that can effect how your higher self shows up. Listening to a TedTalk > scrolling Instagram should be a reflex. And believe it or not, after 5 days of switching to affirmations, motivational podcasts and learning new things on youtube and TedX – you’ll immediately find Social Media draining and not want to scroll!
Be active in nature: A walk outdoors is the immediate cure for a bad mood. Thats what I tell my daughters and what I remind myself as well. Fresh air can do wonders for your soul. Still trying to get out more often (only once a week because of the colder weather) but also trying to be creative about it (whether that’s a walk to the library with the family or a walk around the community center when my kids are in karate lessons).

Blogmas | 12 Universal Laws

Posted on December 13, 2022 by Bhanu Misra Marya

The great thing about Blogmas is that it’s really all about you and the idea on content that you want to share with the world. And as the creator of said content I can essentially choose what I to put out there and also learn!!

So today I’m going to share the 12 Universal Laws. These 12 Universal Laws originated from several different cultures (Hawaiian and Egyptian to name a few) but many different leaders confirm that ancient cultures have intuitively known the laws to exist.

Law of Divine Oneness: which refers to the interconnectedness of things. This means every thought, action, and event is in some way connected to anything and everything else.
Law of Vibration: this highlights that everything is vibrating a microscopic at a certain frequency. High frequency vibrations are where we all should strive to be.
Law of Correspondence: this law speaks to that what we are all mirrors. What we feel within us is a reflection of what is going on around us and vice versa.
Law of Attraction: probably the most well known law, where we know like attracts like. And more so you truly have to believe what you are seeking is already yours. This law relates to the law of vibration.
Law of Inspired Action: this is what follows after you believe you have what you are seeking. It’s all about taking actionable steps toward inviting what we want in our lives.
Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy: this law states that the universe is constantly evolving and fluctuating – right down to the energetic level. This means that our thoughts can eventually manifest into our reality
Law of Cause and Effect: this is the direct relation between action and events. Interesting to note, we may not understand the effects of a given cause right away.
Law of Compensation: this law is essentially that you reap what you sow. Put out what you want to receive in return.
Law of Relativity: even though we are inclined to compare things in our world, even though in reality everything is neutral.
Law of Polarity: everything in life has an opposite. When we are dealing with something, here we are asked to tune into the opposite – which can reveal a new perspective.
Law of Rhythm: here we are made aware of the cycles of our life. We expect things to stay the same but we should remember that integration is just as important as growth.
Law of Gender: this is my fav! the female and male energy that exists in all things. Our society is more aware of this law and trying to move away from the masculine energy (of hustle and do) and more towards feminine energy of just being.

What do you think of these Universal Laws? Are they laws you can see yourself applying/use to your advantage in your life. Thank you Mind Body Green for the reference.

A little lesson on Chakras

Posted on September 1, 2022 by Bhanu Misra Marya

A couple of years ago, I finally spent some time learning about Chakras. They are the energy centers of the body. And although 7 are the most commonly exercised Chakras – there are 100s in the body.

Here is mini less on the 7 chakras shown above:

Root Chakra – Represented by the colour red is located near your tail bone. When this chakra is balanced, you’ll feel safe and grounded both physically and emotionally.
Sacral Chakra – Represented by the colour orange is located right below your belly button. This chakra is connected to our feelings of self worth and helps us harness our creativity.
Solar Plexus Chakra – Indicated by the colour yellow and located in the upper abdomen. This chakra supports our confidence, power & self esteem
Heart Chakra – This is the green chakra and is right over your heart. When aligned, we feel free to give love and also feel loved.
Throat Chakra – This is the colour turquoise and is on our throat/neck area. It governs our ability to speak our mind and heart with confidence. It also allows us to listen with compassion.
Third eye Chakra – Represented by the colour indigo and sits between our eye brows. It supports imagination and provides intuitive powers.
Crown Chakra – Indicated by a violet (ultra violet or white) colour and sits above our head. When balanced we feel connected to our life’s purpose and one consciousness spirituality.

Stay tuned for an upcoming Chakra lesson on how to balance and strengthen your Chakras.
