Have It All

BY Reena Deshpande
Something Lost Makes Way for Some Gains

None of us can ever have it all.
Somewhere we rise, every time we fall.
Life is always just and fair for one and all.
But none of us can ever have it all.

Something lost makes way for some gains,
The one up there deserves no complaints.
Lush green leaves bloom and ultimately fall.
Barren empty trees bring in the snowball.
For every little bad, there’s another good call.
None of us can ever have it all.

Some choices we get while some we select.
For some we are glad, others make us repent.
Yet no moment can ever be a stiffened wall.
Times change and grow, nothing stays small.
None of us can ever have it all.

We open one door closing in a hundred more.
The opened door brings us our gifts in store.
Closed doors contain a lot meant to ignore.
The pandoras box is not what we’re made for.
So stay happy whether you fly or crawl…
Because none of us can ever have it all.

Curiosity arises out of not knowing.

Curiosity is our natural ability to look at things with fresh eyes.
Forgoing opinions, previous ideas, or expectations,
approaching all with the wonder and innocence of a child.
Being curious brings us into a natural, open, and vast space of freedom
to explore:

“What is this?”
“What am I experiencing?”
“What am I feeling?”

4. Bring more awareness to what you are feeling. Focus on your felt experience and the qualities of the Inner Resource as you embody it. Resist the habit to analyze. Simply feel your body and emotions. 

5. Be open to your current experience, whatever it is, without judgment. Just ride the wave of the experience.

6. Remember that the quality of your attention and what you are feeling are more important than the content. Notice how your attention changes, waxing and waning, growing stronger, and sometimes getting distracted. No worries, simply bring your awareness back to the moment, take a deep breath, and focus on the Inner Resource.

7. Become familiar with the feelings and sensations of the Inner Resource you have chosen. Feel what is showing up in your physical body and your emotional body. Be curious to discover how this Inner Resource will support you in your life, to be who you really want to be, and feel how you really want to feel. It is through feeling the Inner Resource that you activate the frequency of it. 

Take 5 Deep Breaths

1. Feel your body.

2. Relax your shoulders.

3. Choose a word that makes you feel peaceful, such as om, peace, or love.

4. Inhale slowly while mentally saying the word you chose. Pause before starting the exhalation.

5. Exhale slowly while mentally saying 1 with the first breath. Exhale saying 2 with the second breath, up to 5 or more.

Feel Your Body

Relax your body, and just be aware of how your body feels. Without changing anything, notice what you are feeling, and where you are feeling things in your body. Resist analyzing or explaining anything to yourself, just notice what you feel. If your body wants to adjust a little, let it. 

Notice the texture and color of what you are feeling and where you are feeling it. Note the quality of what you are feeling; it might be tingly or sharp, squeezing or rippling, or anything else. Be curious about what is happening in your body.
