going anywhere in the world in search of spirituality is waste of time
just that we have to close our eyes and look within
once we realize who we are probably we could then decide what to do in the world or how to relate with the world

"valley of flowers" in the himalayas is a bit strainous trek and also i heard that the smell of the flowers there in the valley make the person forget everything even their name - so be careful and think twice before making any attempts

I am dasi, servant of, my name comes from my guruji Srila narayana Maharaj, i am canadian.. there are several refferences to Menaka in the vedas.. there is refference to the celestial denizen, dancing on the bottom of ocean making sage fall from deep meditation, Parvati's mother was named Menaka, and my name actually comes from a Gopi, one of Krishna's darling maidservants .. but which ever i feel fortunate to be blessed with her name, and i feel very connected to it in all of the different stories :) I am to the left in the photo, Raghulekah my godsister is to the right .. we are both from same guruji.. Namaste
hello my friend,
i'm ok, apart from my damn ankle. monday i went over on it when running and i sprained it. it was agony. i'm having exercise withdrawel symptoms because I haven't been able to do any all week! not good!but I'm upping my game with the raw, so I'm feeing more positive about everything just my simply doing that.
I've finally had a break though with my art diploma;found something that i can enjoy. if you'd like to know more you can ask me about it.
had to really reorganise my brain the past week. i've been hurt recently, but i've understood that it's all so superficial to be troubled by in this wonderful world.
i'm keeping myself together, and that's taking some energy, so i'm tired, and need to rest.
how are you, sweetie?
i've been ok. havinga bit of trouble at the moment. I've lost who I am and have been another person for a couple of weeks, going to the pub and smoking etc. this isn't me and I feel I have to rebirth myself. I've met a guy too. he smokes and drinks but is open to what I have to say and my real lifestyle. it's be good if he could quit smoking with me. there's also the issue of my thoughts...I know, I shouldn't think, but I've recently been really battling with my thoughts over weight and the heavy emotions dependent on this, so everything feels very bizarre. yesterday and today I have wanted to cry so much...just sit down and cry; like i need to get a hude weight off me. for the first time in my life i have been going out and havinga good time with new friends , but this has been in a scene that isn't mine: of heavy drinking and tobacco. I know I have the strength to be 'my own woman', but/and the social conact is new and something that has made me forget my past to a degree.
I just find it sad that when I do see a little happiness there is a great downside to my actions; because deep down I'm not happy if I'm not healthy.
I guess I want to get life sorted...I feel like I'm getting there, but still have a long way to go.
Please enlighten me...
Going to a therapist can help you to be clearer with yourself and with others about what's bothering you. But I don't think it really changes how you feel.
To do that, I would recommend doing mental exercises. For example, if you're angry at your...
Hi. I have nothing against therapists and many of my friends have had alot of success with them. Me personally though, not really.
I have seen two in my life, first at age 14 when my father lost his fight with Luekemia and then again last year whe...
Baby, this answer rocks. I understand it completely. I did quite a lot of pills over a 2 year period in my 20s and got to experience all of what you described in your 1st paragraph. When I keep my raw diet pure and stay away from nuts, I feel the ...

I think most people want to do this because they need attention, not because it really turns them on... maybe different for the people watching? personally don't want any more secreted bodily fluids to avoid in the city.. isn't there enough piss e...
Full disclosure - I work as a therapist.
Yes, it helps.
But you should know that the value of it can't be described by the speed of the healing process or whether you're looking or seeming perfect. Therapy is about coming to terms and coming back...
I always used to get sick on foods from restaurants, but the same meal I prepared at home wouldn't make me sick.... restaurants tend to drown foods in butter and oils, you've probably been eating less of those since going on those diet.
