What is stopping you from being happier and healthier?

As I sat on a hotel balcony in Honolulu looking at this beautiful view, I contemplated my own life and where I could be happier and healthier. I went through an exercise of being hard on myself first as some of us have a tendency to do. I quickly recognized I was doing this and stepped into the exercise of seeing myself in a year from now and what is it that I want to create for myself.

I realized I had in the past let money determine for quite a while what I can and can not create for myself. I had given money the power to determine if I was going to be happy or be healthy. I had let money determine my relationship with myself and others. I had let money stop me from making decisions in my life that I knew would be the best for me.

I ask you to share what is stopping you from being happier and healthier?

It was once I healed my relationship with money that I truly felt in control of my own life . I was making decisions from a place of what is best for me instead of what I can afford? I chose to make decisions from a place of how can I be healthier and happier. I also chose to just be happy and healthy instead of waiting for everything to be the way I thought it should be. This new place of having a healed relationship with money is so much more fun and easier than constantly worrying.

How did I heal my relationship with money?

a) I started to build a relationship with it by spending time looking at my bank accounts and statements. I also watched my budget more closely.

b) I also changed my mindset of how I felt about it. I started to look at money from a place as if it was my best friend. I started to treat money as I would a best friend.

What would your life look like if you healed your relationship with money? How different would your life be? What would you do that you are not doing now?

Self-Love: Choose it now!

I spent the last weekend with Amma, the hugging saint that has hugged over 32 million people around the world and WOW, it was once again another blissful and unexplainable experience.

This was my third time being hugged by Amma. I have been very fortunate to have visited her in her home in Amritapuri in Kerala prior to this weekend’s experience (of course she doesn’t remember me from the thousands that meet her each day, but I remember each experience vividly).

As I had geared up for this weekend, I had started noticing the love that I was surrounded by. Love showed up in my life through my family, my friends and strangers who felt like we had met before. Love showed up in my interactions with people whether it be in person, in text message, emails and phone calls. Love felt very presence in my life.

I had began to notice that I was much more open to love now than I have ever been before. I do credit Amma to opening my heart, showing me the pure love that she exhibits and showing me how it felt to be loved. I did notice that there were aspects of me that was not open to be being loved. As I have spent time reflecting on how I can be more in the energy of love, I have noticed this shifting as well.

One of my biggest lessons of the weekend was when I watched her interact with each person that approached her. She gave her undivided attention to each person and to each person, she made them feel special as if they were the only person in the world.

For me, this brought upon self reflection of how I treat myself and others. I came to realize that if I treated myself and others as special as each individual is, how blissful that would feel not only to myself but to them as well. I ask you “how often do you treat yourself as that special someone?” As I was reminded today as we fill ourselves with self-love, the greater the capacity it to love others.

Self-love comes in many forms. Self-love is the talks that you give yourself, the permission to live life the way you want, taking care of your mind, body, and soul on a daily basis and self-love is the relationship with yourself, others, money, body and the universe.

Take the 5 minutes each day to ask yourself:

a) How can I be in the energy of love today? What actions am I guided to take?

b) How am I taking care of my mind, body and soul today?

This quick exercise will allow you to grow that love inside yourself, so your world will become more loving externally.

Spending time with others helps with our abundance?

In the next few weeks, there are many exciting things happening in my life including travel and some really inspiring events (I will include links to the inspiring events on the bottom of this post). My travel all transpired organically and very last minute, which reminded me of how when we live in the flow we are easily able to manifest what we want.

I am gearing up to meet Amma in Seattle this weekend (check out my post last year on the purest love I experienced with her-
http://bit.ly/12NjYza
), then I am off to Hawaii and Fiji! I am living my dream of working off my laptop on an exotic beach;) All of this last minute travel has been teaching me quite a bit about myself especially around my relationship with money and people. I noticed that as I had started to spend quality time with people who I felt uplifted and inspired around, money and opportunities started to flow my way.

The Queen of Earth card below from the Angel Tarot Cards shows us how we can create magic all around us if we stay connected to our surroundings, spend quality time with individuals who we leave feeling refreshed and renewed and she especially shows us that bringing in compassion into situations allows us to have positive outcomes to challenges.

Have you realized that when you are happy and feeling healthy, that everything seems to be better? When we are in the flow of life, relationships are better, there is more opportunities coming your way and all your manifestations are coming true. Wouldn’t it be great to feel this way all the time?

It is possible that you can. It is a choice you make to “BE” happy, “BE” content and “BE” present around the people you enjoy spending time with. If you notice diverging from any of these states, ask yourself “am I avoiding intimacy,” or “how do I feel around these individuals?” I will remind you that no one can make you feel any which way, if someone makes us tired or a little negative than we are allowing someone else to determine how we feel. If you notice that you are constantly feeling a little more down around a certain person, ask yourself “what is it that they remind me of that gets me feeling anything less than positive?”

I know that this post is loaded with relationship related questions that we will unpack over the next couple of weeks as we gear up for the 4 part – call series on Attracting more Money and Live Healthier.

I will leave you off with an exercise to visit your current list of family and friends and see who you feel the most refreshed around, rejuvenated and inspired by. I would suggest spending more time around those individuals and watch how much more grateful you are towards life then!

Spontaneous or Living from your heart?

Recently, I have been really looking money in the eye to ensure that I will reach my money goals for this year.

For me it was important to recognize what I really want out of life and what steps I will take to get it? In the past, I have done the vision board, the goal setting and intentions but I didn’t always take action as I knew I should. Have you ever been in the same boat too?

To shift out of this planning stage into action stage, I took a few steps that I will share with you here:

1. Looked money in the eye! I looked at my budget and really spent time on analyzing where I was spending a lot of money and where I was investing.

2. I looked at what I wanted out of life and how do I really want to feel. There were a few leaps of faith that I will have to take in order to really achieve all that I want and those leaps would require an investment. I had to ask myself, how ready am I to make an investment in myself? My answer was a resounding very ready!

3. I paniked a little as I didn’t know how I was going to be supported. I also realized that I have always been able to attract money when I needed so how would this time be any different? A friend reminded me that everything that I currently wanted was somehow or the other paid for or I had the money lined up for. I realized quickly I didn’t really need to worry.

The budgeting, settling into the feeling, calling in support and most importantly I devised an action plan of how I would move forward. As soon as I took action in one area, many other things fell into place. Planned and inspired action allows us our biggest rewards. What action are you ready to take right now?

Join me in the 4-week tele-call series “Attract More Money and Live healthier” starting in July. Are you ready to invest in yourself to step towards creating the life you want?

Angel Card Readings and what are they?

Recently, I became a Certified Angel Card Reader through Doreen Virtue and I was very excited about adding this new service to my toolkit.

I got so excited and started telling others about it, but I forgot that some others wouldn’t know what that means. Luckily, I am surrounded by individuals who get as excited as I do about things and they are pretty upfront about saying “Manpreet, I am excited for you but I don’t know what it means that you are a Certified Angel Card Reader.”

Well, that was a total oops on my part.

Angel readings that I perform include the cards below as well as other intuitive methods so that you are getting the most out of the reading.

Angel Card Readings consist of you being in a place that you are possibly wondering:

What’s next for you?
How can you create the future you want in terms of career, relationships, money and health?
How you can heal a situation so that it is not impacting you anymore?
How can you feel more empowered, healthier and feel more fulfilled with life?

Now you are probably wondering what happens in an angel card reading?

We connect via phone or skype. I will ask you to think of a question as I do a prayer to start the reading. As you ask your question out loud, I will draw cards that I will then read. The reading allows me to look at current, past and future of a situation and what other factors that are affecting the situation. It also allows me to identify what needs to be healed, how it can be healed and work with you to heal what no longer serves you either.

In the one hour reading, we are able to go quite deep into what you need to know to move forward in your life.

In a nutshell, an Angel Card Reading will either give you a boost you need to move to next level, begin the commitment to make the changes required in your life or be a fun way to explore what else you can create.

*Special Offer from April 29th – May 5th, purchase an angel card reading session for $100 (valued at $150) and book the time within the month of May

Love Yourself Before You Love Anyone Else

“The love you seek is seeking you at this moment.”
- Deepak Chopra

What kind of love do you most seek? What does this love look like for you?

Our capacity to love is dependent on how much we love ourselves. Our heart can only love what it practices on a daily basis. Many times we believe we really do love ourselves, usually we do. There are different forms of love within ourselves as well.

I personally have struggled with the concept of what does it mean to love myself. It is not something that is tangible. It is not something that is measurable so how can I improve how much I love myself. Being South Asian, there has a history of repressed emotions. This is changing over time as people become more aware of themselves and others around them. This background does further support the notion that I didn’t know how to love myself more.

The steps that I took in order to develop a deeper capacity of love for myself were

1. I developed a clear picture of how I wanted to feel when I fully love myself. I did this through meditation and the feeling of love.

2. I developed a daily list of gratitude for aspects of myself. The list included things I am proud of, achievements and successes I had.

3. I used affirmations like “I am in the process of loving myself, wholly and completely.” The process of loving myself wholly and completely, allowed me to recognize signs of how I am loving myself.”

Describe for yourself what does love look like for you?

Be in the energy of love each day, every day.

What lessons are you taking with you from 2012?

Daily we learn lessons and have awarenesses as to who we are, what we have learned and what patterns we have. The awareness can come in an easy form where we just get a thought or something happens that we have to think about.

Throughout the year, it is inevitable that you were growing in some area of your life. It may have been subtle or a huge shift that it shifted your world upside down.

Any type of growth and shift is so important regardless of how big or small it is. Sometimes it is the most minor shift that will get us closer to what we really want in our lives.

What were your big or small shifts that helped you shift to a new place? Take 3 minutes to brainstorm what these shifts were. The awareness you are getting by focusing on the shifts will help to further integrate these shifts into your day to day.

In loving memory of all the children who lose their lives too soon

In Loving Memory Of Sandy Hook Elementary Victims and other children who lost their lives too soon
Twas’ 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38
when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven’s gate.
Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air.
They could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.
They were filled with such joy; they didn’t know what to say.
They remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
“where are we?” asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
“This is heaven” declared a small boy. “We’re spending Christmas at God’s house”.
When what to their wondering eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.
Then He opened His arms and He called them by name.
And in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring
those children all flew into the arms of their King
and as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
one small girl turned and looked at Jesus’ face.
And as if He could read all the questions she had
He gently whispered to her, “I’ll take care of mom and dad.”
Then He looked down on earth, the world far below
He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe,
then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,
“Let My power and presence re-enter this land!
“May my lands be delivered from the hands of fools”
“I’m taking back my lands. I’m taking back my schools! “
Then He and the children stood up without a sound.
“Come now my children let me show you around.
“Excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran.
All displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.
And I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
“in the midst of this darkness,” I AM STILL THE LIGHT.”

Empowered Men and Women in the Home

Last night I had the privilege of connecting with the women of the India Mahila (women) Association through Mosaic BC (www.mosaicbc.com). The workshop was titled “Empowering Women” with a focus on research statistics from the “Creating Families by Design: Births in BC’s Indo-Canadian Community and my workshop on Empowering South Asian Men and Women in the home.

The statistics for the Creating Families by Design: Births in BC’s Indo Canadian Community are available at (http://bit.ly/IINXva). The interesting aspects of this study is that this type of selection happens here in Canada, a nation where we are promoting the equality of men and females in all areas of their lives.

The research pointed to the fact that this type of sex selection happens more amongst immigrant families. Through the discussion, the conversation around how South Asian men and women are empowered within the home. The conversation can be applied to any culture, ethnicity and race as the upbringing of individuals as we are conditioned not only by our race, culture, ethnicity but by genetics, society and general programming through media.

Through the workshop, I asked the question of how the women perceive men and women. The answers I received were men are perceived as “ego, confident, dependent, demanding, strong, protectors, and know it all” and women are perceived as 2nd class, weaker sex, victim, honor of the house, nurturer, motherly, and backbone of the family.” It was interesting as the genders were perceived in their roles instead of as individuals.

Through further discussion, the women were asked to go into meditation to get a sense of how they feel during their interactions with masculine and feminine. This exercise led to the discovery that some of the women did not feel the connection of the masculine while they felt a deep connection with the feminine. How do you feel about your connection with your masculine and feminine?

The workshop ended with both roles being seen as leaders, a person, humanitarian, individual, independent and with an identity.

How do you want to be seen in the world? Do these words resonate with you?
