  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.

"Monday syndrome"

By Anelly Aya

 

 "Monday syndrome" is a common expression used to describe the feeling of dread or unhappiness that some people experience on the first day of the workweek. The term is often used to describe feelings of stress and anxiety about returning to work after the weekend and facing the demands of the workweek. The condition is not recognized as a medical diagnosis, but it is a common experience for many people. Factors that can contribute to Monday syndrome include long working hours, demanding job responsibilities, and a lack of work-life balance. To alleviate these feelings, some people may find it helpful to engage in stress-management activities such as exercise, meditation, or time with loved ones, while others may benefit from seeking support from a mental health professional.

Stress management activities can help individuals cope with chronic fatigue and improve their overall health, emotional intelligence, and sense of well-being. Here are some effective strategies:

✅ Exercise: Regular physical activity can help reduce stress, increase energy levels, and improve mood.

✅ Meditation and mindfulness: Practicing mindfulness and meditation can help individuals become more aware of their thoughts and feelings, and learn to respond to stress in a more relaxed and centered manner.

✅ Digital detox: Spending too much time on technology can lead to fatigue and burnout. A digital detox involves taking a break from electronic devices to reduce stress and improve mental health.

✅ Soul and spirituality: Engaging in spiritual or religious practices, such as prayer or yoga, can provide a sense of purpose and inner peace, and help individuals better cope with stress and fatigue.

✅ Emotional intelligence: Developing emotional intelligence skills, such as empathy, self-awareness, and emotional regulation, can help individuals manage their own emotions and respond to stress in a more healthy and productive manner.

✅ Sleep and rest: Getting enough sleep and rest is crucial for managing fatigue and reducing stress. Aim to get 7-9 hours of sleep each night and take regular breaks throughout the day to rest and recharge.

✅ Healthy diet and hydration: Eating a balanced diet and staying hydrated can help improve energy levels and reduce feelings of fatigue.

Remember, everyone is different and what works for one person may not work for another. It's important to find the stress-management techniques that work best for you and to make them a regular part of your routine.

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.
