This is the inspiration behind the talk I'll be giving at the Pranic World Festival, which started today. (For free online access, see the comments).
The message I want to share is simple: ๐ฐ๐๐ฅ๐ค ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ.
On every spiritual and human path, it is essential to be guided by our inner truth: listening to that deep inner knowing that resonates when a choice is authentic, and recognizes the dissonance when a dysfunctional ego, conditioning, or distortions of the mind come into play.
I like to say that the first step is to ๐๐ ๐๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง.
When I want to do something, I ask myself: ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ? ๐
๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ข๐ง๐ง๐๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐? Does it arise from a place of openness or from a place of lack? From expansion or contraction?
If it arises from a clear and authentic place, I pay attention to whether, later on, other motives begin to interfere with that original intention.
For those who are drawn to pranic living, my invitation is to ๐ฐ๐๐ฅ๐ค ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ก ๐ข๐ ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ซ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐. Otherwise, it will be a struggle, and it won't last.
Start by being aware of your intention.
Notice if, along the way, you are being influenced by other people's experiences, ideas, or perspectives, comparing your path with someone else's and starting to see their experience as the standard for your own.
This takes you away from your own path and creates struggle. Rather, start from what is true and real for you, and move from there.
