As per my religious calendar today is my birthday. Amongst one of the many things, a visit to a certain place of worship is essential. Last night i visited the same place of prayers. Being a religious family, this is the same place where my parents have taken me many a times, and many a birthday /times my uncles had taken me there.
Last night i visited the place alone.
Coming to this same place of worship alone made me realize i had changed the way i looked at things now, other than, when i was a child who visited this avenue.
When i was a kid, in this place visited with my uncle, i would finish my prayers and run around on the carpet stars, asking my uncle to finish his prayers early so we could go to uncles house for the birthday party and eat cake and dinner and meet others and play.
The parties are long gone and over. Many a cakes have been cut, many a gifts received. Time stood still.
Last night i found no party to go to, no one waiting for me, no uncle by my side, who i could ask to hurry up. Everything remained the same. I was the same but i wished for the few moments back with my uncle, wishing i never rushed him. Had i not asked him to hurry up, last night i would not have these memories.The venue remained the same, my body was also the same, but the abscence of energy of those past moments with my uncle preaching me good thoughts was missed.
That was then, this is now.
Walking alone the path now, i find no footsteps,
i walk alone cause i remain, on the path before me i know,
many a greater souls have treaded before, i seek to run the same.
i walk slowly knowing the path will remain, but i will perish
cause thats the way the journey will stay.
I walked slowly on purpose, and enjoyed the way.
People behind me will never know what thoughts came my way
They will make their own thoughts here, cause the destination remains without any delay

My attendance in mini workshop 3 - Head to heart
Bring it on!!! "Head to heart" picture depicts how i am right now, after attending the workshop. More on that later. First things first, At the entry of ISRA, the "north met south", sweet smiling faces,salutations and hand shakes with the peeps . Once inside, heeeellloooossss to the known faces. Plonked myself into seating. Left/right looking around, awaiting for people to come in. Small chit chat started.
Instant bonding over the first &second workshop and then onto some raves and rants about my blog posting for the 1st workshop.
Ummm, a lady told me she could not express herself in words, the way i do. WHOA!!! do i write well? ok if you say so! Compliments taken, meek shy smiles given out,and as i was talking about the "affirrmation bathe" process of the second workshop.... Lo and behold an elderly lady just joined into the conversation. This lady was our trainer for the 3rd workshop !!! Kirti was her first name.
Surprise number one. Took a meditative pose, deep breathing started while the class attendance came into order. As usual Shashank & Sneha ( the ISRA peeps) coordinated their best efforts to get the session kick started. Its raining outside, the traffic is on and people are yet to come in..... The session started with the quorum attendees.
As mentioned in the earlier, pre session blog post, i had attention and intention on this workshop. I forgot about my intention once seated and class started.
The first exercise was to write down something on problems and all i could write on the worksheet " All is perfect in my world". I just did not have any problems. What could i write about ? Im happy and i understand everything about my current world. I shared this with the trainer, she understood what i meant and was OK with it. We also did some instant drama where in there is a bull at the door. Reactions. Amit has recorded this session, If i can get the videos from him, i will post a link to it here.Everyone was amazingly dramatic, I enjoyed the "bitchy mother in law" session played by group 1. Amazing!!! The mother in law and the wife roles were played to perfection. I had to clap for them. Made me laugh!!
Minutes into the session time dragged on and i heard an interesting word "neuro pathways" Now this is where my attention went. "bring it on i said to myself," as i could realize something amazing was about to unfold.
WHAM!!! Right on, the lady was explaining the concept on SUGGESTIBLES" and the first was named "PHYSICAL ". As much as i tried to avoid it, every line she said somehow connected its meaning to me. It was like discovering myself through a 3rd person ( nopes, no no no, not 2nd person no no no) Whose the 2nd person sssshhhh!!!!
Surprise number 2 :-I was taking notes and i wondered if these lines were about me ? i doubted and i asked my queries.
Until she came to a particular line which was the line i needed to hear and this sealed my doubts, That description was me.
Then few moments later, I am sure none of the participants heard her say this line, As she said this line, the room was into total criss-cross conversational discussions. And i heard her reply to my doubt " A microscope cannot look into itself ? you need another microscope". Wham i felt englightened. Reason? I had just discovered the moment that she was the microscope that looked into me ( microscope for others). She also explained, you can solve everyone else's problem but not yours. I shook my head sideways in doubt. She clarified her sentence and i shook my head, up &down, this time in belief.
There was one line, amongst the physical suggestibles which undoubtedly made me believe that i am a "Physical" suggestible. What is that line ? Hehehehhe!!! Sssshhhh once again,
Once i accepted that, every line fitted as if my own description. I was back into my comfortable non-englightened zone once again.
I repeated the words mentally, ISRA means journey and i am in ISRA, how can i be back to where the journey started from, I shook off my old conditioning and started making an internal new neuropathway. This is where my previous learnings and readings came in handy. I was in simple joy to discover the person i had always been and i learnt a trick about solving my personal dilemna. For "physicals" to outshine and be in their element, we need " Relationship".
I have personally experienced this feeling which cannot be phrased and now i know its all about having a relationship bond. If that bond is perfect, "physicals" become light of the family/workplace/parties. Why was i not in the spotlight for such a long time ? RELATIONSHIP!!!!! And if not in spotlight , recluse! retreat back in life,
She recommended "Breathing out exercises"for all Physical suggestibles". I had to scribble this down on my writing pad. Why am i at ease? Cause i now know exact the "ISRA" that i have to take. I have to learn to do "Breathing out" so shall it be!!!
Suprise number 3:- This was a learning for me, why people cannot take decisions for themselves, and why people behave and react in a particular manner. The "Emotional" suggestible type of people just cannot make up their own minds. Its not their fault, What is the cure for this ? " Walk it out " she said, I smiled, as i rephrased it to "Take a walk". I learnt a good deal of both types being opposite and i could for once relate this to relationships.
There was a SOMNAC type which is a mixture of the above 2 suggestibles. They change like chameleons to adapt to a situation.
At the end of this session i felt the intention , i posted pre workshop blog spot had come true. When i walked out of this last workshop,
The 3 workshops attended and one ISRA completed. Was it worth the time, Yes, good people to learn along.
Sneha et Shashank are good peeps who participate in each of the sessions. I like the manner in which Sneha always clarifies many a things and adds her value addition to each session. Shashank can be remembered best for 1) being a director of the company and 2) the timely and best tea/samosa server * he he he he * He manages everything to be on time,
Thanx to both of you sweet people, Good company ISRA, great workshops, good participant crowd. very well done !!!
As i end one ISRA, i am about to find a path that leads to the 2nd ISRA (journey). Few heart felt words from me to all of you:-
I came to follow i found myself leading, who leads me into the path i seek,
When i looked back, i saw a dark light, when i looked ahead i found everything in sight.
Thank you ISRA , Thank you each of the trainers, and thank you all participants who accompanied me
THANK YOU ALL

Before attending the "Head To Heart" mini workshop
Exciting morning, its a rainy day and i look forward to the 3rd mini workshop this evening. "Head to heart". I anticipate it to be an experience. My attention is here on it already and my intention is to ensure i have an amazing experience and lot of fun.
The idea of attending workshops involves money which could be expensive for some and i would recommend it to those who have already gained some expertise in the subject matter of choice and THEN attending most of the workshops.
Ideally a work shop would review some basics of the subject matter (Unless specified to be more advanced), provide an introduction into more higher next level and be a bonding place for the like minded. You could change these dynamics, There is a new way to think always. As you think, so shall it be!
Past conditioning occupies most of our thoughts everyday, Every day we think the same thought behavioural patterns and provide nuturing to the mental capacity we hold within ourselves. When we were children we are taught to think. Some children are taught not to think, accept the world as it is. Yes there are people who were taught not to think for themselves. What are you teaching yourself now, has its roots way back to childhood. And if you havent taught yourself anything new, time to change. Just read a book simplest way to learn, and of course the internet is always on. Research some topics of interests on the internet and you are better than 99 % of the world who didn't do this research. That is how you become better. You do things, others have not done before or you do it better than those who have already done it.
So its in the better interest of the self, so enroll in a workshop, observe meet strangers, some in the best moments of their lives, some at the worst moments in their life, and watch this unfolding of group participation and take some value.
My attention is "anything interesting can happen now" and my intention is more deeper mentioned above.
At times nature decides to change the dynamics for me and i feel helpless. At such moments i feel i have to surrender to the higher will of the source god and follow the path it leads me in life.
The work shop is few hours away and there is a trial highway run between my heart and head already.
I think i am ready for that workshop now.
Once i attend that workshop, I shall post my review of the workshop later.Let this wonderful day unfold.
