Transformative Meditations by Prerna Sujan Prerna Sujan

FREEDOM: This short meditation helps you look at your challenges in your inter personal relationships with a new perspective. Once you learn to respond to life, you are free. Freedom feels like a bird soaring high in the skies.

The Few.

The easy roads are crowded
And the level roads are jammed;
The pleasant little rivers with drifting folks are crammed.
But off yonder where it's rocky,
Where you get a better view,
You will find the ranks are thinning
And the travelers are few.

Where the going's smooth and pleasant
You will always find the throng,
For the many, more's the pity,
Seem to like to drift along.
But the steps that call for courage,
And the task that's hard to do
In the end result in glory
For the never-wavering few

Edgar Albert Guest

I received a reading one morning on the subject of forgiveness. The Sacred Texts speak of forgiving each one irrespective of their actions. It asks us to return meanness with a sprit of forgiveness. It advises us to go within the homes of our bodies and be at peace. How does one do so is the question often asked. It’s easy to forgive our loved ones. But how does one forgive persons who do is wrong for no fault of ours.
Our judgement about today’s experiences are very shortsighted. Little do we realize the shuttle of life is weaving its web of magic and an opportunity each moment. Our experiences today in concert with yesterdays and tomorrows shall weave a unique, purposeful, wholesome and perfect for our own good.
Let us think about these words and allow the wisdom and intuition to guide us as we move from head to heart space. My experience with forgiveness has been transformative when I accept Divine Will unconditionally. I move into a space of forgiving myself as well as others and am able to then see each one as an extension of the Divine residing within each one. There is no anger, no judgment, just plain simple acceptance. I hope this short piece inspires some on the journey.

The body is a container through which we experience a wide palate of emotions. Managing these emotions and habitual patterns with mindfulness practices helps a practitioner create a powerful destiny.

Every breath is a gift
An opportunity to create
A new possibility
A new beginning
A new way of being
Awareness of breath
Keeps me in awe and wonder
At the spinning wheel of life
To weave out the garment
Filled with love, kindness, peace,
Compassion, acceptance
An indomitable faith
And knowing
That it is unfolding with every breath
Why then must I wriggle
In pain, in agony and cry?
Why then do I question and desire to control?
Why then do I allow my mind to bother
Why do I not stay with breath?
And weave the fabric
Of love, kindness, peace
Compassion Acceptance
Each breath at a time

I started my journey to the kingdom of bliss.
At first, I was in a huge hurry until bliss showed me the way.
She asked me to slow down and enjoy the ride.
She showed me some dark monsters,
And with awareness she showed me to observe with rigor.
Without reacting or clinging,
She gave me some roses to smell along the way.
Which made me happy and joyful.
She asked me to slow down and enjoy the ride,
Till I reached a state where bliss has been forgotten.
And experiences are being collected.
Some good, some horrific and some scary.
She asked me to slow down and enjoy the ride.
When now, there is no desire to reach the kingdom of bliss,
I slow down and simply enjoy the ride.
Sometimes smooth, sometimes bumpy,
I slow down and simply enjoy the ride.
And I am in the kingdom of bliss!
