RECLAIM YOUR AURA

Have you ever felt drained around a person?

Has someone’s aura put a damper on your positivity?

Do you find yourself avoiding certain individuals because they seem to suck the energy out of you?

If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, you’ve likely encountered what many refer to as “energy vampires.”

I did my certification in energy healing and realized that the concept of an energy vampire is indeed valid in the alternative healing beliefs. Even though it is not a validated concept in the scientific framework, I personally feel there is some merit to this term that exists in the metaphysical realm.

Energy vampires are individuals who, intentionally or unintentionally, drain your emotional and mental energy.

They thrive on your attention and can leave you feeling exhausted, stressed, and overwhelmed. These individuals often exhibit characteristics such as constant negativity, excessive complaining, or a tendency to create drama.

However, it's not just about whining or negative topics; they also criticize you, push you into a corner, and drain all positivity out of you.

For fans of the Harry Potter series, the term “dementor” might ring a bell. Dementors are dark creatures that feed on human happiness, leaving their victims feeling cold and despondent. While energy vampires don’t have the supernatural ability to literally suck out your soul, the impact they have can feel strikingly similar.

 Just as dementors leave their victims feeling hopeless, energy vampires can sap your motivation and enthusiasm.

Identifying energy vampires in your life is the first step to managing their impact.

Some signs that someone might be an energy vampire include:

·        ~  They always focus on the negative aspects of life and rarely having anything positive to say.

·         ~ They are often at the center of conflict or chaos, stirring up drama wherever they go.

·         ~ These individuals crave constant attention and validation, often monopolizing conversations.

·       ~  They consistently portray themselves as the victim in every situation, refusing to take responsibility for their actions.

·        ~  They criticise you relentlessly, undermining your confidence and making you feel trapped.

If you had a face in your mind as you read this, it is your hint to act and reclaim your aura back.

While it’s tempting to avoid energy vampires altogether, this isn’t always possible, especially if the person is a boss, family member, or someone you encounter regularly.

Here are some practical tips to help you cope:

·         Establish clear boundaries regarding what topics you’re willing to discuss and how much time you’re willing to spend with them.

·         Politely but firmly enforce these limits. Reduce the amount of time you spend with them whenever possible. If you can’t avoid them entirely, try to limit interactions to shorter, more manageable periods.

·         Counter their negativity with positivity. While it’s important not to engage in toxic positivity, maintaining a hopeful outlook can help mitigate their draining effect. Understand their perspective without getting emotionally involved. This can help you stay detached and protect your energy.

·         Practice deep breathing, visualization, or other grounding techniques before and after interactions to help maintain your emotional balance.

If dealing with an energy vampire becomes overwhelming, talk to a friend, therapist, or counselor for support and guidance.

Remember that it is important to protect your emotional well-being and maintain your positive outlook. Your energy is valuable – guard it wisely.

Question the Answers - A toolkit for personal transformation.

 I have finished writing my third book, "Question the Answers". 

As an engineer, shifting to social sciences was a conscious choice to make a difference in the lives of people and spread more hope and positivity. That thought has led me to master’s degrees in philosophy and psychology, and now this bestseller streak as an author. 

In life coaching, we emphasize the importance of "setting intent." Setting intent involves not only defining a clear purpose but also visualizing the desired outcome. This mental imagery helps in aligning actions with goals and maintaining motivation through challenges.

When an intent is pure and backed by conviction, it will lead you onto something bigger than oneself. 

"Question the Answers" is a transformative guide to introspection and personal growth. Filled with thought-provoking questions and insightful reflections, *Question the Answers* invites readers to embark on a journey of self-exploration. Through guided reflection, readers are empowered to navigate life's challenges, make informed decisions, and cultivate a growth-oriented mindset.

I have created a blueprint for pausing amidst life's chaos, reflecting on key facets of life, and reframing perspectives to foster personal reinvention.

"Question the Answers" is designed to be a companion for those seeking to cultivate inner peace, personal growth, and a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. 

I hope this book starts an internal dialogue towards finding your passion and setting an intent. Thank you for being part of this journey. I am humbled by the support and love that helped me publish three books in a span of 16 months. 

Thank you for purchasing and loving 'A Balance Called Life' and 'Taste of Fate'. Being accepted in both fiction and non-fiction is a dream come true. Thank you. I appreciate you being part of this amazing journey. 

Here’s to good intents leading to success for all of us.

Timeless Conversations #PhilosophyThursdays

Philosophy has always fascinated me. It is simple yet profound. It is complex yet a part of everyday existence. It is reachable and yet elusive. The paradox it provides is enough for hours of pondering and entertainment.

I have been writing on the quotes of some of the prominent philosophers I admire. Today, I would like to talk about René Descartes' quote, "The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest men of past centuries." 

This quote appeals to me as a reader and author because it captures a profound appreciation for literature and its timeless value.

When we read great books, we engage in a form of intellectual dialogue with the authors, philosophers, and thinkers of previous eras. These books create a bridge that connects us with their minds. The finest minds of past centuries have grappled with fundamental questions about existence, morality, society, and human nature. Reading their books is an opportunity to learn from their experiences and insights, which remain relevant despite the passage of time.

Books also provide a window into the historical, cultural, and social contexts of their times. By reading, we gain a better appreciation of how past societies operated, what values they upheld, and what challenges they faced. This historical awareness enriches our understanding of contemporary issues and helps us draw parallels and contrasts between different epochs.

Beyond intellectual engagement, reading great books can also be a source of personal and emotional enrichment. These works often explore the depths of human experience, offering insights into love, loss, joy, and suffering. They resonate with our own lives and emotions, creating a sense of connection with the authors and their characters.

The journeys of great thinkers and writers, often fraught with challenges, remind us of the potential for human greatness and the enduring power of the written word. They encourage us to strive for excellence and contribute our own voices to the ongoing conversation of humanity.

Let's take this as an opportunity to own our voices and register them for posterity, for sometimes it is in these small steps that future generations unravel the secrets of our era.

Here's to writing, transforming reality, and enduring for centuries.
