Grieve

Taking some moments to feel my silence.

While this is a blog on personal branding, but I felt like writing this post today on this usual and a bit unsettling Wednesday.

Our soul, clothed in this body, wants to feel all kinds of emotions and pains and joys.

And somewhere in that interim feeling, we feel like transmuting it into deeper understanding of the cosmic clock.

Only when we express ourselves, when we open ourselves to pain can it really talk to us.

In this beautiful book called We Can Do Hard Things I read about how our body knows all the answers and how intuition is not just mind work, but the holistic body work.

Today my body says, let’s just grieve and long and cry and then again grieve some more – maybe some balm can be in experiencing the ‘aching’ joy and peaceful sadness.

And then slowly, the birthing of a new plant in your balcony can make you stretch your lips to see how nurtured we all still are by something called nature.

I have been writing a book for quite some time on the mortals living soulful lives. My first reader is my grandfather – and he said that it is a beautiful book. That’s all that I needed to hear – those words are a balm for me, making me come home to myself, my grieving and longing.

Naval Ravikant, in one of his talks on Instagram, said that meditation is like checking off all your emails in your inbox until you are net Zero. In that vein, I urge you to let it all out, talk it out to yourself, or keep a journal, or start a blog and express the unexpressed in your soul. You never know who you are healing with your words, sitting in whichever corner of this world.

Aren’t we all are medicines for each other when we grieve together, mourn together, and meditate together?

I love you.
