Little things in life

I was cuddling my over-a-month little nephew.  He was half asleep.  As he laid on my chest, getting into the best position to sleep, his face was facing me.  Then, he slept soundly and smiled.  His breathing was soft and air was blowing into my face as he slept with his mouth open.  His heart was against mine and it was beating like a soft drum, dup-dup, dup-dup.  How miraculous this little heart is.  Just this little thing, kept everything growing.

How we often forget the good things in our lives.  Sometimes, it is only after a certain loss, that some people wake up from their slumber and realises what they have been missing.  So many people take this little heart for granted.  

I haven't been updating my blog for some time.  Work has been catching up and life is moving on the fast lane.  So on one lazy Sunday, I just looked back, wow, how I have taken so many things for granted.  Only looking at those unhappy moments and forget all the good times and good things in life.

I want to enjoy my life as much as I can, doing things I love to do.  Baking, music, cooking.  I am not a good cook or baker, but I do want so much to put my hands into it.  I am still on the verge of perfecting the 'Double Skin Milk Custard'.  I am still looking for the perfect milk.  I want to bake those delicious looking Pandan cookies that I saw on someone's blog today.  And those leftover chocolate chips that I have bought earlier, I want to use it for something and finish it up.  What about those different type of flours that I have purchased, let's do something with it.

Time.  Instead of wasting time on games and spending time doing unnecessary things, let me find time in baking a cake.

Shri Mataji's birthday is coming soon, I hope I can bake a nice cake.  Something simple, something which I can use up the chocolate chip.  Maybe the pound cake recipe that I have blogged earlier.  

Or a yogurt cake that I have been researching.

How about the souffle cake that was almost successful and failed at the same time?  I have to re-do it again.

Or the Kek Gula Hangus that many people liked?  Maybe I can re-visit this again.

There has been too much focus on unhappy moments.  Many people out there are down and unsure where their lives are leading them.  

I am planning to start something, something to share joy and happiness.  Something free.  About the little things in life that give so much of satisfaction.  Not necessary material things.  Not sure whether I have the time and energy to do this.  Continuity is important.  Not sure how many things I can be grateful for everyday.

Just want to be grateful to how fulfilling this life can be, if only we let it be and look at the bright side.  Not everyday is a gloomy day.

Feeling positive that this can be done!

Matka pot treatment - Night 1

Image
I started the matka pot treatment last night.  Been feeling a lot of left agnya catch lately, so thought that it is high time to do a matka pot treatment.  Here is what we need: 7 limes (I heard in Belgium, they used 7 lemons, so the pot that they used is so big and they have a hard time trying to dispose the pot after the 7 nights).  Cut the top of the limes to expose a bit of the flesh. 7 chillies.  Remove the top of the chillies (I don't know what you call, stem or stalk).  I used small chillies so that they can fit into the matka pot. 1 matka pot (here in Malaysia we used claypot that they cooked claypot rice, glazed inside so that it will not leak) Vibrated water So, you put everything into the pot and vibrate in front of Shri Mataji's photo.  Pray that the matka pot will absorb all the catches and negativities.  Then place it on the left side of the bed.  I put it under the bed but you can also put it on a side table on your left side.  Just be carefu

Information for pregnant Sahaja Yoginis

I have decided to gather all information for pregnant Sahaja Yoginis here.  This is probably not conclusive, so please feel free to add on if you have anymore inputs.  To read more about it, please go to amruta.org.   I guess the experience varies from individual to individual.  But I was very sensitive to vibrations and negativity when I was in my first trimester.  So much so that sometimes I have to do 2-3 times footsoak in a row in order to feel better.  But it gets better in the second trimester. As for havan, I was told that pregnant ladies can attend havan but have to sit far from the fire and don't sit too long.  This was advice by the Vashi doctors.  But my own experience, in which I attended one havan, I didn't feel good after that.  It's just my personal feelings about it as I was ultra-sensitive.  But I read some yoginis wrote that pregnant ladies should not attend havan altogether.  So, it really depends.  I guess you could always check vibrations to find

Sahaja Yoga has cured me - Part 1

Image
I was reading back my old posts and I realised that I have not posted even once on how Sahaja Yoga has helped me although I keep saying that it has.  How can I forget the miracles that it has brought me and has a big effect on my life. Between 2004-2006 (I forgot exactly which year it happened), one night after my part-time class, I came back late.  I had skipped dinner as I was late for class.  So after class, I just stopped at McD and bought myself some french fries.  I was not hungry anymore.  So I came back home and just drank a glass of cold milk.  I went to sleep after the meal. The next day as usual I went to work.  My stomach was already not feeling so well.  I have lost appetite and again didn't eat proper breakfast and lunch.   I was already tasting sourness in my mouth but I just ignored it.  Then I was going to meet a friend for dinner.  While driving to her place, I drank a lot of water.  That was what triggered the beginning of my nightmare (short nightmare).
