Once A Teacher, Always A Student

Asherah Sananda

teacher (1)

Life is constantly offering us opportunities for growth and opportunities for further learning. No matter which stage of evolution we are at, we will never stop learning.

Everybody that we meet and every situation that we encounter in our life can be a teacher, if we allow it to be, and if we open up to that opportunity of growth. 

Often do I see people that are on the spiritual path and in the new age circles being judgemental to someone who does not behave the way that would fit into their box. Someone who drinks alcohol, smokes, eats meat or eats in an unhealthy way, uses swear words etc. Right away, this person or situation would be seen as inferior, negative and “low vibrational”,  and therefore closed off in the future.  

Have you ever had the experience, that you would talk to someone and because they are smoking/drinking/whatever it is that you judge, you would not even want to open yourself  up to truly listen?

I had this experience before. The moment I caught myself in it I could let it go, open up, listen to the other and realize with great humility how much I can learn from people who we consider different from us. But, when one is not open-minded enough in receiving these jewels from life, they will never be able to acknowledge that.

How evolved can one be when the only things they do are judge, separate, and stick with one type of people? How much is one missing out on the little gifts that life continuously has to offer to us, when we close ourselves off to what is in front of us?

Just because someone might not be in the same vibration or might not be ready yet to give up some addictive patterns, that does not mean that he carries no wisdom and that he has not had any life experiences that helped him grow. We all walk the path of life in our own pace and we all absorb what we learn differently. Every person that we encounter in our life holds something unique for us. 

But when we judge or put people into our little mental boxes, the only thing that we experience is a big egoistic sense of superiority. This ultimately leads us nowhere. 

We have to remember that all is interwoven and connected. That life is one cosmic play that is created for us to find ourselves. Our job is to awaken and enjoy play. That means that everything we experience in life and everything that we encounter is and will always be part of us and part of our script. 

The moment we think we are better or more evolved or know better, is the moment we stop learning. This is the moment when we completely disconnect from what life is all about. Its the moment we allow our ego to win in its game of separation. 

Take every step in life with openness and with the knowledge that it is created for you. See every person as your equal. Remember that everyone carries the same essence of light that you do, no matter what.

Allow life to live through you and take you on a journey beyond what you could ever imagine. 

Let go and be free.

Namaste

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

To be or not to be, to go all in or to unwind and relax, we question our dreams, running in constant chase of our quests to come true, we are the ones who never sleep. Dreamers we are called, the ones who passionately strive in the endeavours of the best they could ever be, here is a letter to me, a letter to you. In the stride of embracing the best you have ever been, nurture your soul before the onset of the abundance in you that lies unseen.

Too bold, too much for your age, you are doing too much, how often have you heard these notions been used to describe you? As we tirelessly strive to achieve the next goal we have in our mind, we are often told that we are being hard on ourselves, to enjoy life a little. Life in its entirety passes by us in its dynamic flair, and the existence we envisage holds unique individuality to each one of us. The choices one makes for themselves belies them and them only, and t

How To Remain Centered And Calm In Face Of Difficulty

My life is a mess and I have nothing to be grateful about! I witness myself say this phrase from time to time, where life plonks us into the desperation of ebb and flow of wilderness and things not going in our favour.

It is easy to say we are grateful and in complete balance when things are going well and life feels like the warm embrace of the sun shining on a Sunday morning. But the real test lies in remaining grateful and centred when life feels like spinning out of control.

While it is easier said than done, here are some reminders that might help you get through the days that feel like a burden –

1) This too shall pass, no moment in time that feels permanent loses its impermanence. We often lose hope when things don’t go our way and during these sad days, we should remember, that t

15 Most Liberating Thoughts For Someone Who Needs It

Our life unfolds in a succession of revelations of who we are. It is when we sit down and repeat the same sentence in our head over and over again, in every action we perform, every activity we indulge ourselves in, does it indulges into our existence as a habit.

The key to having a sense of liberation is allowing life to flow through, not forcing anything and more essentially not resisting change. I believe that our life improves in the direct proportionality of how often we are exposed to situations where are forced to challenge our age-old beliefs and counterfeited perceptions and seek the greater version of ourselves. When we get too comfortable in the comfort zones we build for ourselves, we do not grow into the people we are meant to be. Sadly most people embrace change only when metamorphosis is the less painful and only possible option.

My Rendezvous With Life

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

For I chose to befriend the walk that marked the

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

What are the five love languages?

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
