  The concept of the “Self” lies at the core of many spiritual and philosophical traditions. It is often described as the most fundamental aspect of our being, the true essence of who we are. However, the Self is not something we can easily grasp through our usual means of understanding, like thought, perception, or intellect. It transcends our physical, mental, and emotional experiences, yet it is ever-present and underlies all of them. In this chapter, we will explore what the Self is, how it differs from the ego or personality, and why understanding the Self is key to realizing true reality. The Self as Pure Consciousness At its essence, the Self is pure consciousness. It is the awareness that observes all experiences, but it is not limited by or attached to those experiences. It is the unchanging witness of all that arises in life—the thoughts, emotions, sensations, and perceptions we experience daily. To grasp this concept, think about a movie screen. The screen remains ...

Burnout

By Anelly Aya

 

 #Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged or #chronicstress. It is often a result of feeling overwhelmed, drained, and unable to cope with the demands of work, relationships, or other responsibilities. Here are some common reasons for burnout:

✅ Work-related stress: Burnout can be caused by high levels of stress at work, such as long working hours, a heavy workload, unclear job expectations, lack of support or resources, and a #toxicwork environment.

✅ Personal or family-related stress: Burnout can also be caused by stress in personal or family life, such as financial worries, relationship problems, caregiving responsibilities, or a lack of work-life balance.

✅ Lack of control: Burnout can result from feeling like you have no control over your work or personal life, such as a lack of autonomy, decision-making power, or flexibility in your job or personal responsibilities.

✅ #Perfectionism: Burnout can be caused by setting high standards for yourself and striving for perfection, which can lead to constant self-criticism, self-doubt, and a fear of failure.

✅ Lack of social support: Burnout can be caused by a lack of social support, such as feeling isolated, disconnected, or unsupported by friends, family, or colleagues.

✅ Values misalignment: Burnout can be caused by a misalignment between your personal values and the values of your job or workplace, which can result in a sense of disconnection or meaninglessness.

It's important to recognize the signs of burnout and take steps to prevent it. This can include setting realistic goals and boundaries, practicing self-care, seeking support from friends, family, or a professional, and making changes in your work or personal life as needed.

Karma: A Path to Redemption, Healing, and Spiritual Growth

By Anelly Aya
    Karma is a term often shrouded in misconceptions. Frequently perceived as a form of cosmic retribution or a means to exact punishment, karma is often portrayed as a lurking force that deals out slaps for wrongdoings. However, this perspective oversimplifies and distorts the true essence of karma, reducing it to a mere tool of vengeance. In reality, karma is much more profound and compassionate - a mechanism for redemption, healing, and spiritual growth. Rather than being a punitive force, karma offers a sacred opportunity to make amends, clear past missteps, and ultimately return to a state of unity with the Divine. Understanding Karma Beyond Punishment At its core, karma is not about punishment. It does not operate with a vindictive spirit, nor does it seek to inflict harm for the sake of justice. Instead, karma functions as a spiritual mirror, reflecting back to us the energies we have put into the world. These reflections are not meant to condemn but to en...

The Self is the only reality

By Anelly Aya
  "The Self is the only reality that always exists, and in its light, all things are seen. We forget this and direct our attention to the external world. The hall is illuminated whether there are people in it or not, whether they are performing a play or nothing is happening. It is the light that allows us to see the hall, the people, and their performance. We are so absorbed by the objects or phenomena revealed by the light that we fail to pay attention to the light itself. Like the torches in the hall that always burn, the light of Consciousness or the Self is always present—whether in the waking state or the dream state, where things appear, or in deep sleep, where nothing is seen. What we must do is focus on the seer, not the seen, not on the objects, but on the light that reveals them." — Ramana Maharshi.
