Mindfulness: A Journey of Self-Awareness and Intentional Living

Mindfulness has been a non-linear journey for me,  helping to simplify my life and cultivate greater intentionality. It’s not about always being “love and light,” but about recognizing what truly guides me—whether it’s love, peace, or fear. This practice has helped me become more present and grateful, and I’m now compelled to share how it can transform your life too.


Mindfulness doesn’t promise constant calm or perfection. Instead, it offers a tool for self-awareness, helping us monitor and adjust our behavior and beliefs. This shift creates healthier relationships, as we become more attuned to ourselves and others. Mindfulness encourages us to reflect on what we consume—whether it’s media, food, or the people around us—all of which shape who we are. By being intentional with our choices, we align our decisions with our values, leading to better emotional energy and more meaningful connections.


Meditation has been particularly valuable in this process, deepening my self-reflection and acceptance of my thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. It’s helped bring clarity and emotional balance, making it easier to navigate life’s challenges with a grounded perspective.


Through mindfulness, we learn that negative emotions are temporary, not permanent. This awareness allows us to detach from emotions, seeing them as transient ripples rather than fixed states. As we grow in mindfulness, we begin to understand that our sense of self is fluid, which makes it easier to respond to life’s ups and downs with wisdom and grace.


In today’s digital age, mindfulness also helps us recognize the false realities we create and reminds us to be proactive with our choices. The decisions we make today shape our future, and mindfulness provides the space to pause, reflect, and act thoughtfully. This practice fosters accountability and leads to a more fulfilling and responsible life.


Ultimately, mindfulness and intentional living are powerful tools for personal growth. By becoming aware of our thoughts, behaviors, and emotional energy, we can align our lives more closely with our values, creating a life that’s more fulfilling and connected to others.


Mindfulness also teaches us to honor others’ unique experiences and journeys. Understanding that each person’s perception is shaped by their path fosters empathy and deepens our connections.

Duality vs Oneness

In many mystical traditions, God is seen as the One Source of all that exists. From this perspective, nothing stands outside the Divine, not even the shadows we fear. Both light and dark, joy and pain, are contained within the infinite mystery of God. Yet in faith traditions like Christianity and Islam, the devil is understood differently, not as God, but as a creation of God. The devil becomes the symbol of separation , the willful turning away from unity, love, and truth.  Where God is perfection and pure goodness, evil arises not from the Source but from distorted will, pride, and rebellion against divine alignment. Beyond the Image of Horns and Fire, The devil is not a creature with horns, a fiery tail, and glowing yellow eyes. It is not merely an external monster lurking in shadows. Instead, it represents the energy of separation, the distortion of truth, the rejection of compassion , the misuse of divine gifts . The devil is rebellion against unity, whether it shows up in i...

Divine is Beyond Labels

Theres so much beauty in the universe. I honor the presence of God in everyone.   The diversity of this world doesn’t confuse me, it makes me fall deeper in love with God and with humanity. Our differences are not barriers. They are beautiful.   They are the artistry of a Divine Creator. The essence of God is not confined to one name, one tribe, one religion.   Race, nationality, belief systems, these are human constructs, not divine limitations. God is Spirit. Boundless. Pure.   Far beyond every box we try to fit the Divine into. We are born open, whole, deeply connected.   It’s fear, ego, and conditioning that teach us to separate and compare. To believe one soul is superior to another based on tribe or religion is not only untrue, it’s a distortion of truth.   A distortion of the Divine. If God wanted one tribe, one race, one religion…   Wouldn’t that have been easy? But diversity is the design.   Each of us, different yet divine.   Every ...

Versions

In a moment of profound self-reflection, honouring the different versions of myself that have shaped who I am today. Every choice I’ve made,  every decision that felt uncertain at the time, has contributed to the wisdom I carry now. I’ve journeyed through many phases of growth, each one adding depth and understanding to my identity.  In some ways, I’ve been many people in one lifetime and that’s something I'm proud of. Each version of me, whether it was a version of hope, doubt, strength, or transformation, has served a purpose. And now, looking back, I can see how each part of my story was necessary for the person I am becoming. I honour that and in doing so, I honor my capacity to evolve. It’s a reminder that I’m never stuck just always in the process of becoming, continuously shedding layers and uncovering new possibilities.  I stand as a testament to my own resilience and growth, fully embracing both my past and my future. While reflecting with gratitude ...
