How to heal your inner child :
One of the teachers who has most inspired and accompanied me on my spiritual and healing path has been Thich Nhat Hanh. One of the first books I read was “The Art of Caring for Your Inner Child” and this little book was the beginning of a journey to the depths of my being. Very gently it led me to understand the deepest wounds of my childhood. It gave me real tools to heal traumatic experiences.

Mohammedseid AhmedinPublished a day ago in MotivationTHE HUMPTY DUMPTY SYNDROME:
How many times have you heard someone say, “Losing my job was the best thing that ever happened to me”? Does hearing this sentiment make you scratch your head in puzzlement? How could something so negative be so positive? What’s the person’s secret? Few of us begin our careers with the intent of doing something else. After all, we’ve invested quite a bit of time and money getting to where we are. We spend thousands of dollars and several years of our lives in pursuit of our degrees. We then invest even more time going after postgraduate degrees. An attorney, for example, spends a total of nineteen years in the pursuit of a law degree and then has to pass an extremely difficult exam, one which many fail on their first attempt. Doctors spend even more time in school and then devote even more years to internship and residency programs. Sadly, many of these dedicated professionals then find out they are not happy in their chosen work. Much like Humpty Dumpty, we proudly sit atop our wall of achievements and accomplishments, giving little thought to doing anything else. “After all, I worked hard to get where I am and I’m proud of it. I’m good at what I do and people respect me. You can’t expect me to want to give all this up, can you?” These are the words you hear from your logical, rational mind (or friends and family) whenever you even think about making a career change. Unfortunately, your true self, that part of you who knows what’s in your best interest, is often scream i n g for a change, nagging away at your thoughts until you begin to listen. Even if you’re content in your present job, with today’s changing workplace and the uncertainty in the corporate world, it’s likely that sooner or later in your working life, you will find yourself, much like our friend Humpty, tumbling from the security of your little perch. For most of us the great fall occurs when one or more of the following occurs: • Our job is eliminated through downsizing. • Our company is acquired or merges with another company and the new situation no longer appeals to us. • Our job stays the same but we just can’t get excited about it anymore. So, after the great fall what are the secrets to putting yourself back together again — better and happier than ever?

Stars shimmered splendidly in a moonless sky, reflecting in the quiet waters of Lake George in the Adirondack heaps of upstate New York. It was a warm August evening, as we laid back in the boat, wondering about the sublime Smooth Way. Dim skies made the stars more splendid during this season, particularly during another moon, inspiring awe and charm. We never burnt out on stargazing while at the same time drifting on water, a genuinely vivid encounter.

Kamran AlamPublished 7 days ago in MotivationEmbracing The Darkness
In the depths of night, when the world is cloaked in shadows and silence reigns, there exists a realm of solitude where personal narratives unfold. It is in these moments, alone in the dark, that we confront our deepest fears, grapple with our innermost desires, and embark on a journey of self-discovery that transcends the boundaries of time and space.Every individual possesses a unique narrative, a tapestry of experiences woven together by the threads of joy and sorrow, triumphs and tribulations. These narratives, like constellations scattered across the night sky, guide us through the labyrinth of life, illuminating our path with the light of self-awareness and introspection.For some, being alone in the dark evokes a sense of trepidation, a fear of the unknown that lurks in the shadows. Yet, it is precisely in this darkness that we find the courage to confront our deepest fears, to face the demons that haunt the recesses of our minds. It is here, in the silence of the night, that we discover the strength within ourselves to emerge victorious, to transcend the limitations of our fears and emerge stronger, more resilient than before.In my own personal narrative, the darkness has been both a source of solace and a crucible of transformation. There have been moments when I have felt lost in the labyrinth of my own thoughts, overwhelmed by the weight of uncertainty and doubt. Yet, it is in these moments of darkness that I have found the clarity to see beyond the illusions of fear and uncertainty, to embrace the light of hope and possibility that resides within me.One such moment occurred during a period of profound loss and grief in my life. As I grappled with the pain of saying goodbye to a loved one, I found myself consumed by darkness, engulfed in a sea of sorrow that threatened to drown me. In those long, lonely nights, I felt the weight of despair pressing down upon me, suffocating me with its relentless intensity.Yet, it was in the midst of that darkness that I discovered a glimmer of light, a flicker of hope that refused to be extinguished. It was the memory of my loved one, their laughter echoing in the chambers of my heart, their spirit guiding me through the darkness like a beacon in the night. In their absence, I found the strength to carry on, to honor their memory by living my life with purpose and passion.In the silence of the night, I began to unravel the tangled threads of my grief, to find meaning amidst the chaos of loss. I sought solace in the beauty of nature, finding solace in the gentle embrace of the moonlight as it bathed the world in its soft, silver glow. I found comfort in the words of poets and philosophers, whose wisdom illuminated the path ahead with its timeless truths. Slowly but surely, I began to emerge from the darkness, like a phoenix rising from the ashes of despair. With each passing day, I felt the heaviness in my heart begin to lift, replaced by a sense of peace and acceptance that I had not known before. I realized that while the darkness had tested my resolve, it had also forged within me a resilience that would carry me through even the darkest of times.Today, as I look back on that journey through the darkness, I am filled with gratitude for the lessons it has taught me. I have learned that even in our darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of light to guide us forward, to remind us that we are never truly alone. I have learned that it is in facing our fears that we find the courage to transcend them, to embrace the fullness of life with open arms.In the tapestry of personal narratives that weave together the fabric of human experience, the darkness is but a thread, a fleeting moment in the grand symphony of life. Yet, it is a thread that holds within it the power to transform, to inspire, to illuminate the darkest corners of our souls. And so, as I journey forth into the unknown, I do so with a heart full of hope and a spirit renewed by the wisdom of the darkness.
