Weight Insights (The first truth)

The first truth

I always recommend allocating a certain time daily for meditation. Both meditation and prayers not only helps to silence the mind from its unnecessary activity but often provide some profound insights about yourself. Although most people often confuse meditation as an activity to get some extraordinary powers or limits it feasibility to relaxation. However, it goes far beyond then all these results and all one requires is to have an intention; intention to obtain peace and nothing more.

There are many meditations available; however, whatever type leads you silencing of mind and ultimate peace is right for you. I have added another page to this blog where you can find all useful information about meditations and from my own experience how to have an intention.

I mentioned my weight loss ambition few posts earlier and I am also working on it. The first thing about loosing weight in a healthy way is that one has to look into the daily food intake and if there are any unnecessary calories or carbohydrates then they need to be cut down gradually. Please do not immediately leave out all carbohydrates as they are also important to give you energy. Regular breakfasts, pulses, meat, grains, fruits & vegetables are all required. The cold drinks, fried food or junk food, ice creams and any deserts or dressings need to be avoided. Sometime people do have hormonal problems which result in weight gains so beforehand it is advisable to have your thyroid and insulin levels checked. Yet in majority of cases we just eat more and do not do anything to burn the food.

But before anything we need to look for deeper issues because weight is just a symptom and there are other things working in the background.  Since my teens I struggled with my weight, sometimes I lost it and then regained it after few months. Although my diet doesn’t have unhealthy food yet the weight maintenance was a hard job.

After a lot of curiosity today I had an insight in a flash. I discovered that my weight is not only some fat stuck up in my body but it is my emotions and negative feelings which I gathered from various times in my life. Feelings of anger, hatred, fear and lack which I didn’t even knew I had took a safe haven by depositing in the form of body fat.

My mind cleverly covered up those negative feelings and I unknowingly played the role of a happy person who has forgiven and forgotten. 

Yet deep down there has never been any forgiveness only anger, hatred and lack. Since these negative emotions were overlooked they resided in me as fat. Through my hard work & consistency I was often able to loose the fat; however, the emotions still being there the fat came again and again. Thus my constant struggle.

The million dollar question is, have I dealt with my negative emotions. The answer is, I don’t have any idea but one thing is for sure that now I am fully aware of them. Awareness is crucial. Now comes true acceptance, surrendering and prayer. So I accept to be angry, I accept my hatred and I accept that I have the lack. Now it all is surrendered to God- may I be healed to the highest levels of love, peace & joy for all involved.

So if there is any health issue with you and even after looking after yourself you are unable to heal it then look deeper.

Much regards.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS): What It Actually Feels Like

Wow! It feels nice to be back to my favourite place in the world, my blog, my love. But today it seems that the world has rotated 360 degrees. As I was trying to figure out how to tap into this new world order I thought the best way is to ask my Higher Power to guide me through. And what a better way to do that, other than recite a prayer ‘Dua Istikhara’ a supplication used by Muslims to seek guidance from Allah before making a decision. If we just read the translation of this supplication: “O Allah, I seek guidance from Your knowledge and power and ask You from Your great bounty. Surely, you can do it, and I am not. You know, and I do not, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter is good for me in my religion, life, and end, then decree it for me, make it easy, and bless it for me. But if You know that this matter is bad for me, in my religion, my existence, and my end, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me what is g...

3 January 2019

After fighting with an alien cat in my dream, I am awake at 1.30 am. It all is followed by a futile effort of building a sleep pattern of 9.30 pm to 6 am. Alas, not all wishes come true at once. No problem I will keep on working. Being a really smart gal I have messed up with my sleep-wake cycle long ago, and today when I accidentally opened Rujuta Diwekar’s video on cortisol on my facebook page- I realized what has been going on with me.  For all of you who are not aware that I am a distant relative of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Rujuta is the link who tied  Kareena and me  together. You all must be wondering why have I never discussed this earlier, why I took so long to disclose my bond with Kareena. Let me explain.   Rujuta Diwekar is a God’s blessing for all the fools like me who for some stranger reason believe(ed) that going on USA or UK-based diet programs would make us patla (thin/ lean). It was Rujuta’s eating desi ghee and daal sabzi ch...

Magic or Miracles..continued

"Sadia Saleem   Another good one...ur blogs have always uplifted my spirits in some way, but this one being totally different gives us a small grasp at just how powerful our Almighty is...our praises are just a measurement of our faith in Him and our worships are a manifestation of that measurement...ur blog actually took me in d flashbacks and I remembered when we actually landed up at a babas astana for d sake of fun...at times those carefree days are deeply missed       keep up the best work    " This one is especially for my best friend Sadia who has always shown me her love, appreciation and encouragement. And of course, how can I forget all of you for always blessing me with your affections. Sadia and all of my Dear Readers, I thank you so much from my heart for responding so beautifully for my post “Miracles & Magic? I wonder…” .
