Namaste

I seem to be going through some kind of spiritual shift, awakening. 




Ever since I was a little child, I've always had a fascination with the Hindu religion but when I expressed my fascination with the religion and my desire to experiment to my grandmother and father quickly quashed those desires.  


Over the years, the feeling has raised itself several times and over the last couple of months I've felt a really strong pull to explore the teachings of the gurus and explore the wonders of Vedic meditation. For the last 2-3 months, I've been meditating every day or almost everyday and as I grow in my practise and become more confident in my chants, so does the desire to switch from Catholicism to Hinduism.  




My dear grandmother passed away a couple of years ago and sometimes I wonder if she's looking over my shoulder while I'm in the lotus position chanting the miracle mantra from the Guru Vashista...

Saturday mornings

So I'm relaxing, drinking my morning coffee, listening to the rain and wind knock against the window - wild yet strangely peaceful.


When suddenly I hear, the words that every woman wants to hear when they are relaxing. "What's for breakfast this morning?" 




My morning reverie is clearly over.

My home office is in Mississauga or Toronto.
My work nourishes me spiritually, emotionally and financially.
I am paid very well.

I have plenty of money to spend and save.
I give thanks for my new job & sources of income.
I am open to what the universe is creating for me.
It is creating my new job effortlessly. 
It’s happening for me now.
People who want to work with me are finding me now.
People who want to pay me money find me easily.
This or something better is now manifesting for me.

Counting my blessings!


It was a really tough week last week, the lowest I think during this process of job searching. For some reason, I slid into a funk and felt like there was going to be no way out of this situation and no matter what I did, I couldn’t seem to pull myself out of it.

Now believe me, I have no desire to go back to the place that I worked. It was a really toxic environment that was eating away at my spirit so I’m very glad that it is over. The thing that I miss the most is the paycheque! For a while I was toying with the idea of self employment but I don't think that the time was right for me to go down that road. I haven't closed the door fully on that yet but I need to have a steady paycheque for a while because I've got some other plans.

This morning when I woke up, I awoke with a new attitude  - I'm determined to embrace all opportunities that come, I've surrendered to my job search to God and most importantly I'm counting my blessings. I've had some really good things happen to me over the last couple of months and I need to really acknowledge that

1. Blessing #1 - Mr. C has been really supportive and often has to talk me down off the ledge when I start feeling a bit anxious about this situation.

2. Blessing #2 - I have a great network of friends that have been incredibly supportive both emotionally and financially. One of my friends has even hired me on to work on a project for her company which has helped in topping up my severance.

3. Blessing #3 - I have been getting interviews. I seems to be averaging an interview every 1.5 weeks since I really started looking from the last week in January. I had initially thought this was pretty bad but after a conversation with a career counsellor, it seems that it is better than average. So I think I'm due for another interview sometime this week,

4. Blessing #4 - I've been able to devote a lot of time meditating, praying, reading , trying different visualization techniques and trying to focus on manifesting to get the position that I want and bring abundance into my life. 

With all these blessings, I'm confident that something new and fabulous job wise is on it's way to me soon.
