Marriage with Hostility

Have you ever felt that there are times when your life is filled with hostilities?

Hostility means when we are constantly threatened from life situations which make feel us suffocated. Hostilities can come from our parents, in-laws, siblings, spouse, children, organizations or communities.

In my life, I grew up with a hot-tempered and violent mother and constantly I lived in fear and low self esteem during my growing-up years. Many times I used to wonder – why did I take birth through her, someone who was so filled with anger and violence?

It was only after listening to one particular discourse which was delivered by Paramahamsa Nithyananda, my spiritual guru that gave me a big click and it changed the way I respond to hostility.

Start 2013 by Loving Yourself

Just barely 2 weeks into the New Year, I am seeing a consistent mental pattern among modern city dwellers especially working women or working mothers who tend to be very hard on themselves and their bodies. May be it’s because woman is traditionally perceived as the “weaker” sex; hence she has to try so hard to prove herself in the male-dominated society. In attempting to prove her mettle for survival, woman tends to drive her body-mind to the breaking point despite a constant plea by her body intelligence to slow down. Society has taught her to be so goal-oriented and driven by the “more & more” mentality as defined by society (better lives, better grades for children, more business, more contracts, more expansions etc); she works her body like a machine. By and by, her body develops certain chronic fatigue and body aches, subsequently her mental and emotional health also take a toll with an increased stress level, a constant restlessness, irritability and mood swings. Many women drag around with a pain body and a battered consciousness in life but they are unable to get out of the vicious cycle in which they are stuck in. Her sleep pattern also gets disturbed which denies her from the natural self-renewal process she gets during deep sleep state. When sleep is deprived, her ability to concentrate begins to wane; eventually complex mental disorders such as chronic anxiety, depression or fear psychosis begin to set in including physical diseases.

Integrity Begins with Our Words

I just returned from a 21-day spiritual retreat called Inner Awakening (IA) on a cruise with my revered enlightened master, Paramahamsa Nithyananda.  This was my 2nd IA which I had attended; the first was in June 2009 after I left my corporate life. I could say this IA was very special for me personally because this body was being used to initiate the world into a new consciousness during December 2012 Cosmic Transition. The theme for this IA was about grooming of gurus as he shared that “This IA is no longer about creating disciples, now it is time to groom gurus so that more bodies can share the responsibility of bringing the science of enlightenment to planet earth”.  So you can imagine the level of intensity, the drilling of sacred truths into our core – the bone marrow level.

The first few days were spent on performing introspection and self diagnosis on areas where leakages were happening in our inner space. He said that it is useless for him to keep pouring energy if the vessels are leaking. The first leakage that hit home was – lack of integrity.
