The thorn in the shoe metaphor



Let me just share a small story with you all today.

I had gone for a walk at a local park this morning. It was a lovely morning though a bit warm. The breeze was crisp and the lake in the park shimmered and glowed in the morning sun.

I was just beginning to soak it all in when, within a few steps, I felt there was something in my shoe. It was a bit bothersome, so I removed my shoe, did a simple dusting, and tried walking on.

But something was stuck and kept poking me. I realized it could have been a stray thorn from my previous visit.

Rather than trying to remove it right then and there, I tried to ignore it/ thought I could manage and kept walking on.

But It was getting painful. The more I walked, the more painful it became and the less I enjoyed my walk. In fact, it was also slowing me down and kept my focus constantly on the painful point. I also forgot all about the beautiful scenery around me. 

Finally, I had to stop, accept and acknowledge that I could not go further until the thorny issue was not addressed. It took a few minutes to locate it and another couple of minutes to remove it.

But the moment it was was removed, my steps became faster, I could enjoy everything from the morning dew drops to the excited chirping of the birds and even my conversations. The morning was beautiful again.

It reminded me of every situation in life which we ignore, deny or maybe even say, "I don't have any time for it now" and try to move on.


The only thing it does is slow us down and keep giving us painful memories of unaddressed issues. Instead, why not just stop and spend those few minutes to accept and acknowledge the issue and work towards releasing it.

The rest of life's journey can get so much faster, easier, and maybe even more joyful than before. Most of the time, since we are not sure how much effort it will take to pull out the thorn, we tend to drag our feet (pun intended) in addressing the issue.

Just stop and pull out the thorn and see the difference. I can help you do just that. If there is a pestering issue you want to work on, feel free to get in touch with me. And I'll help you pull out that thorn.

See you all in the next post. Ending this post with a prayer to the Universe to shower an abundance of love and light on all you wonderful people.

Make energy cleanse a regular ritual

Image By tohamina I recently felt the full impact of an energy attack. I thought I was protecting my energy well, but I realized I had not done enough. We all go through such attacks at least a few times in our lives. But what's most important are the choices we make when such an attack occurs.  These attacks want us to make the wrong choices. It gives them more leverage. When I experienced this energy attack, possibly one of the longest running attacks, it took me a while to realize it.  It felt as if everyone and everything was against me. I was experiencing feelings and emotions that did not feel like mine. All I wanted to do was to rave and rant.  But once I realized that all of it felt unnatural, I knew I've to start moving out all these energies that weren't mine. They felt like iron filings clinging on to a magnet. I worked on clearing this energy out everyday, till the source...

Weave gratitude into your life

Image by jcomp on Freepik We all know the power of gratitude. We all know, the more we have to be thankful for, the more we have opportunities to be thankful for. This is possibly one of the most well-known mantras since the time people understood the concept of the law of attraction. But still, the moment we get caught up in our daily life, gratitude more often than not slips way back into our priority lists. Have you noticed that the only time you are holding on to the attitude of gratitude is when you are present in the here and now?  So accepted and acknowledged that we in our daily lives have enough attractions, distractions, to-do lists, not-to-do lists, etc. which all come together from making sure we are all not always in a state of gratitude.  The universe is very smart, it has given us the tool to achieve so many things, but also made sure the only way we c...

The cycle of manifestation and self-sabotage

Image by pressfoto on Freepik One of the biggest topics of interest over forever may be Manifestation. Everyone wants to manifest something or the other, me included. But so very often as we get closer and closer to the goal, something seems to pull us away.  As we start noticing the signs and signals that we are almost there, things invariably start going wrong or falling apart. If it is a relationship manifestation, there may be unexplained conflicts. If it is a job manifestation, the last round of interviews may probably get postponed for no reason. If it is a travel manifestation, something may get canceled at the last minute. If it is a home manifestation, the neighbors may not match your wavelength.  Sounds familiar?  Why does this happen? Why is it that when we are so close to getting something, everything changes? When we are trying to manifest something, maybe a relationship, we get caught up i...
