The image of the tightrope walker - it’s a powerful metaphor for the delicate balance we navigate in our lives. Each thought, each action, contributes to the fabric of our future.

In the grand tapestry of existence, spiritual efforts often hinge on a single second—the moment of choice. Within that fleeting time frame, we decide what to hold onto and what to release. Do we cling to reality or surrender to the ever-changing story?
In this episode we will explore how to cultivate a deep inner silence through the method of introspection and loving redirection of thoughts and feelings from external circumstances to our innate benevolent nature.
We often worry and say, because we love or we care. But we all know that worrying doesn’t really bring the results that we like or prefer. It’s true that worry often consumes our energy and doesn’t necessarily lead to positive outcomes. Shifting from worry to trust and faith is powerful. Trusting in the inherent goodness of others and ourselves can indeed bring peace and clarity.…

Embracing our spiritual identity can profoundly alter our engagement with the world, distinguishing between what nourishes our deeper peace and what merely distracts.

Our ego manifests itself in some interesting ways. Ways like always looking for justification, always pointing fingers outward. It's always somebody else’s fault or to be blamed. And if I can't point finger to anyone, I'm looking for justification in myself. We have forgotten that the ego is not who we are. The ego is something that I have created myself, but it's not who I am. Join us in this short meditation to experience that who I am is a being of love, kindness, compassion, truth, purity, serenity and joy.…

'Life is like a game'- Many of us might be familiar with this phrase. In this episode, we will explore a different perspective. I am playing the game not in order to enjoy, but I am playing the game and I am enjoying the game. The act of playing is the act of joy and not necessarily in order to attain joy. This is the aspect that is worthwhile to reflect on in terms of how we live our lives.…

When we think of life as a game, then we have to also consider the various players in the game, including ourselves. We could be the spectator sometimes, or we could be an active player in the game sometimes. Life offers us the opportunity to consider both. In this meditation, let us spend some time reflecting on some of the areas of our life where I need to be the spectator. And what does that mean? And when I need to be the number one player. And what does that mean?…
In Spirituality, there is a benefit of being clueless about the things that really aren't relevant and have nothing to do with my journey, but being very aware of secrets that will illuminate my path to my objective. It helps to support lesser but deeper thinking, which is very essential for moving towards my destination, whether it's self-respect or inner peace or using and managing my inner capacities well.…
In physical fasting, we reduce or limit the food intake for a certain period of time to give the body enough space and time to recover or heal.

The thoughts that emerge from that inner silence are then very empowering, uplifting and creative.…
Intellect is our discerning power, our analyzing power, our reasoning power and our wisdom. In Gymnastics, you use/exert your body and stretch it beyond certain limits or beyond certain comfort zone. Similarly, in Spiritual Gymnastics, you stretch your intellect to widen your horizon, broaden your perspective and to see the whole picture instead of the parts.…

On a spiritual journey of self transformation, we continuously aim to “close the gap” between where we currently are and who we are destined to be - our highest potential. In this meditation we travel deep within the self to a safe, sacred, transformational space of a pure silence that re-emerges our true eternal nature of deep peace and calm. The more time we spend in this space, the closer we get in the return to the true highest self.…
Spirituality says our physical reality is a reflection of our inner reality. In this meditation we emerge our inner treasures of awareness, thoughts and feelings based on the eternal truth of the soul, which then invites external situations of wealth, health and happiness.
