2 Inspirational Nuggets from Me
I. I. At the beginning of your spiritual wellness journey, removing harmful sensory experiences is more important than adding more pure (nectar-like) ones.
II. The process of detachment from excessive sensory experiences and our desires for them begins with a period of abstinence from the very thing we want most a period that allows us to recalibrate and determine with a clear head how to move forward.
3 Introspective Questions to Awaken Your Inner Guru
I. What’s a sensory experience that you regularly indulge in that is harmful to you (e.g. overeating, consuming too many videos or scrolling Instagram one too many times, listening to loud music that hurts your ears, overexercising, talking too much, etc.)?
II. Can you try to abstain from this experience for one week?
III. Knowing that we can never give up anything, but per the ancient Vedic spiritual tradition, only take up something higher, what’s a higher ideal you can anchor yourself in and remind yourself in the face of sensory temptations?
Until next week,
