Discover the peace of your timeless Self
If you haven’t tried a Body Scan Guided Meditation, it is a favorite practice of mine and I think you will love it. It is a simple way to cultivate awareness of the body and promote deep relaxation.
When you look out into the world and see poverty, greed, hatred, and violence, you may feel a fire burning in you. Moreover, choosing peace may seem impossible.
On one hand, you may be ready to start a revolution and on the other hand, your sādhanā (spiritual practice) appears to oppose this force. Yet, the fire burning in you is a divine one.
So, don’t let hopelessness or anger take over. Use it, and let it drive you deep within so you can remove all the barriers in the way of your freedom.
When you are on the path to self-discovery it is common for questions to arise in the mind. Nonetheless, the method of self-inquiry takes you beyond all questions and the questioner, to bring you into full recognition of your True Self.
For some, this can be very mentally draining, or even frustrating, because the questions compel your attention. So, moving beyond the questions can seem challenging and confusing.
Yet, whatever questions arise, they’re all washed away in the recognition of the Self.
For this reason, maintaining your sādhanā (spiritual practice) and remaining on the path to self-discovery, especially in times of doubt and uncertainty, is the remedy for stripping away the ego (false self).
For it is only in the realm of māyā (illusion) that these questions arise.
The Girl Under the Rug is a short story depicting the journey through the dark night of the soul, towards transcendence and self-realization. It is about awakening from pain, darkness, and fear, into the timeless recognition of love and freedom.
The story arose in my mind three years ago, and helped me navigate and see past the ego-mind, and return to peace.
For this reason, the beginning starts off bleak, full of personal identity, and wrapped up in stories of the past. However, you will notice as you read that the mood, energy, symbolism, and imagery shift as the protagonist chooses to be guided by grace.
May these words help you see beyond any hardships and emotional and mental turmoil you experience, so, you recognize your true self, which is forever free and effortlessly peaceful.

It makes no difference to me.
I am free.
Free to experience shame.
Free to experience fear.
And free to experience pain.
But, it makes no difference to me
