Unconditional acceptance ?

Have you ever experienced unconditional acceptance?

Can we relate to people with zero judgments? While it may be impossible to find such an equation, it is necessary to have those people in your life who do not judge you.

But before that do it is important to assess if you make judgements about yourself.

Unconditional acceptance is need from you for yourself before you expect others to accept you.

How do we learn to love when we cannot unconditionally accept?

Love is a transient emotion—every changing and highly overrated.

But it is also what makes the world go round.

Take, for example, a relationship between a parent and child; why would we want a child to behave a certain way that doesn’t fit our scheme of parenting or just social conditioning.

The same would apply to an equation between friends, siblings, and so on.

This unconditional acceptance doesn’t mean that one has to ignore the negative traits of a person like abuse, narcissism, or any other harmful patterns.

If there is a lack of unconditional acceptance, there may be a situation where you are always leading a dual life.

It is about peeling off the layers and bringing authenticity to a relationship.

If one needs or wants a meaningful space that is !

itadaki Mas - The Japanese thank you for the meal at the table .

頂きます（いただきます） to receive; to get; to accept; to take (humble). This explains why you say it before you eat. You're "receiving" food, after all. Itadakimasu (and its dictionary form itadaku 頂くいただ ) comes from Japan's roots in Buddhism, which teaches respect for all living things. I was introduced to itadaki masu by my Japanese friend Etsuko who had dinner with us at my home in Lonavala. It turned out that Etsuko had a sudden pasta craving and wanted me to cook some for her. Before our meal, Etsuko thanked my mother with clasped palms as a gesture of gratitude, for the hands that cook our meals. Etsuko then introduced us to the concept of itadak imasu and also told us that this meant saying thank you to everyone in the chain of food distribution - bringing to mind the farmer and his family, the truck driver who drives the produce to the city and so on . A second of thought is given to each person in this chain of bringing food to our table. At that point, I remember b...

Be like the moss :)

Have you ever noticed "moss" ?Yes, the green stuff that grows all over . Have you ever paid attention to the moss growing on a rock or a wall . Where I grew up, there is a lot of moss when it rains. It always makes the wall look colorful with different shades of green. Does the moss know it doesn’t get any attention from us ? Does it care ? Perhaps not. It continues to provide a great habitat and is a source of food for many insects. Did you know that the moss helps the ecosystem perform effectively ? It plays quite an interesting role in retaining water, stabilizing the ground and removing CO2. In World War II, Sphagnum moss was used as a bandage to stop bleeding wounds and it had some antibiotic effects. So some mosses have healing properties too. Now does the moss know that it is such a critical part of the ecosystem and still does not get the attention it deserves. ? But does it stop thriving or does it selflessly continue doing its jo...

Changing the I Can't - Challenging Limiting Beliefs.

Over a period of time, we traverse through life and develop a set of beliefs about ourselves. These beliefs are a culmination of things we've heard from our primary caregivers - grandparents, parents, siblings, etc. Growing up we develop a belief system that comes from interacting with our classmates at school and things we have been told by our teachers. These limiting beliefs paralyze our way of thinking and are definitely obstacles in These are deeply rooted in our subconscious and our brain mostly confirms these beliefs to form a thinking pattern. These beliefs mainly come from our childhood and transform into a series of experiences as adults. Our beliefs are formed from our experiences and these could be positive or negative. We start to expect certain things, based on our belief systems, and the brain influences the outcomes. For eg. If a teacher said you weren't good enough at math, that may have formed a part of your belief system. This will somewhere manifest in some ...
