21 days

I can. I accept. I allow.
Powerful beginnings to powerful mantras.
I can climb Everest. I accept the events that occur. I allow the universe to heal me.
It’s the chicken soup for our soul that thousands and thousands of books have been written on, the basic formula of life that makes psychiatrists and shrinks millionaires, the most powerful of all our powers that lie dormant within us.
And it’s free. We don’t need to eat into our savings or forgo that new white leather couch for this life-changing remedy. It lies within us.
All we need to do is sit, relax and focus. Realise what we want, what it is that’s blocking us from achieving what we want, why we are allowing that blockage, and do we really want to change it. If the desire for change burns, focus again on what you want to change. Is it your job, is it your fear of public speaking, a phobia of heights, the chance to heal a broken heart? Figure out what needs fixing and apply the balm of words that will do the trick. Then sit back and watch the magic number 21 do its trick. You’ll be amazed at the power of your subconscious and the strength of your own words.
If it’s a broken spirit that needs mending, a heart that needs fixing or a soul that needs healing, that’s what you should allow yourself to let happen. Create your own mantra to guide you. Your mantra will be embedded in your DNA from this point on till eternity. It will be etched into the deepest levels of your subconscious mind, to stay with you through this life and all the others. Best then that it’s your own creation of what you want for yourself. Create whatever feels right. Be honest with yourself and find the sore spots, the areas that need healing and address it directly. Be bold. Say that you allow the universe to heal you. You choose to integrate love and peace into your daily life and deep within your soul (thanks for that one Ruchi). You accept the power you have over your actions. You allow yourself to be the creator of your own universe. You feel no shame, no fear, no negativity. You choose enlightenment over social norms. You allow yourself love. You feel love. You see love. You are love.
Create whatever works for you, believe it from deep within your middle. Accept that you have chosen to walk this path of self-healing and allow yourself the courage to heal. Write down your own mantra. Repeat if 21 times over 21 days. That’s how long it takes to make a break a habit or notion in the subconscious mind. Speak it out loud, whisper it to your soul, write it down in your favourite book. Do whatever it takes to convince the most important person in your universe of how amazingly unique, talented, powerful, wonderful and loved they/you are. Because, what it all boils down to is love. Love from your very core, to your very core. Spend one day loving yourself and notice how the wheels will turn in your favour, how, magically, the universe will conspire to throw back at you all the love you're generating from within. And the more love you receive from the universe, the greater your belief in your special powers. After all, you created that love. Just as you created your own mantra, your own desires, your own wants. And if the love came bouncing right back, bet you can't wait for your mantra, desires and powers to come back at you 10-fold.
Keep believing. Keep loving. That's all it takes.

Regression
Strange then that human beings block it out of their system. Is it because we’ve gotten so advanced that we’ve forgotten to listen to our instinct? The most basic, primal feeling that all of us have, our little inner voice that tells us everything we need to know, our biggest and bestest teacher. And yet we’ve blocked out the sound of her voice.
Snickers doesn't need to be taught to follow instinct. He just does what comes naturally, without any remorse or guilt or social obligations. As does every single animal ever since and forever more. And they’re considered inferior to us, a race that’s so superior that we forgot how to be human and think relying on technology for everything makes us more intelligent.
Not so long ago, little snickers, sap, you, me, we were all on similar spiritual zones. Then we as humans built us a pair of smart technology wings and thought we could fly high above all the other species. In spending all those minutes and hours and years and millennia developing technology, we forgot how to develop our mind.
The ancient Egyptians, the Aztecs, the Mongols, the Greek, they knew a lot more than this generation does. They built some of what we still call architectural wonders. And what’s really ironic here is that they were once us. And we were them. Many moons ago. We did all that stuff that we now marvel at. But somewhere down the line, we developed the term society. And society developed norms and rules and inhibitions and fear and punishment and ego and pride. And we forgot all that cool stuff we once took for granted.
Today, we use an average of only 10% of our mind. 10%??? We call ourselves superior based on a 10% figure? And when you consider that the bulk of that 10% is probably spent on the here and now, the daily grind, the routine issues, what minute figure is left for us to connect with our souls? Can you even imagine the potential of 13%? Or 50?
We need to go back to our roots. Or at least help our roots reconnect to the earth and draw it’s energies into our souls. I think we’ve starved our souls long enough. Time for some spiritual nourishment.
