Back from a Break

…Unexpected trials of life

So the inundated fact about staying home and experiencing life is like a volume of archetypal hierarchy. There is a constant experience when you are alone and mostly less interaction with people around. Due to COVID 19, our quality and quantitative socialising have dropped considerably with people no matter good or bad. Now we can only speak or talk to them on consistent or inconsistent phone calls, Skype, Zoom, Google talks, Teams. The list is endless. A minute millimetre of something has totally swayed the human race like no other. They say our future lies in the choices we make in the present. So I proactively took this and used the quality time to engage myself in all kinds of online activities and experience what I missed during the days when I was just working a 9-6 job. It was a totally new kind of dimension now. I just kind of experience a new kind of living amidst the pandemic situation. In a way, I thoroughly enjoyed the kind of online courses I got enrolled in at Coursera. This particular website has all the answers for a productive mind.

If you feel bored and lonely and confused about personal and professional issues, improvise your skill. Enrol on a new course and experience the difference. Your time will be so much occupied and above all one won’t have time to worry about anything, and the best part is there are several free courses available at Coursera. If you do not want any certificate and just improvising a skill, you can simply enrol for a free course. It is a great way to engage oneself in something productive,

The next option to get occupied during the COVID19 stay home is to enrol in some yoga programs. The best offered, in my knowledge, is the Inner Engineering program by the Isha Foundation. Click on the link and brace yourself with more details and information. After the Inner Engineering program, one can enrol to complete the IE completion program, known as the Sambhavi Mahamudra. To understand more about meditation and how it really affects our body, I came across this site where there have been relevant details about all the necessary information that one keeps on asking about the effects and experiences with the kriyas and meditation.

Meditation itself is a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity – to train attention and awareness and achieve a mentally clear, emotionally calm, and stable state.

I would experience all kinds of kriyas, and also the fruits of the kriyas and asanas are totally how one perceives and reciprocates to it.

That being said, it’s time for me to end my blog by saying stay safe, friends and enjoy your home alone or with people proactively, and don’t forget to get vaccinated.

The Vaccine Draft :)

Hello Friends,

I was gone for a while, as I had some full swing online courses going on with Coursera and finally some ounce of solitary laziness with all fresco of emotional condiments of quagmire impossible excuses. I am a lazy doughnut that keeps on being laid back once in a while. But I was also in the process of thinking and analysing about the most important element that has shaken mankind to the brim. Yes, you got it right, our existence notifier, “Corona Virus”, so when I finally wanted to get vaccinated, I made some mental notes.

The first is the pros and cons of the vaccine, which is Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. 

General Information

Manufacturer: Pfizer, Inc., and BioNTech

Type of Vaccine: mRNA

Number of Shots: 2 shots, 21 days apart

How Given: Shot in the muscle of the upper arm

According to the data from the web, this is the information which I found from the web.

Ref: Vaccine Info

* None of the vaccines contain eggs, gelatin, latex, or preservatives. In addition, all COVID-19 vaccines are free from metals such as iron, nickel, cobalt, lithium, rare earth alloys or any manufactured products such as microelectronics, electrodes, carbon nanotubes, or nanowire semiconductors.
Note: Both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines contain polyethylene glycol (PEG). PEG is a primary ingredient in osmotic laxatives and oral bowel preparations for colonoscopy procedures, an inactive ingredient or excipient in many medications, and is used in “pegylation” to improve the therapeutic activity of some medications (including certain chemotherapeutics). Also, cross-reactive hypersensitivity between PEG and polysorbates (an excipient in some vaccines and other therapeutic agents) can occur. 

I think every person react differently to the vaccine. I was a bit nervous and anxious and wondered what impact it might lead on me. After seeing some of my friends and hearing so much from different people from various walks of life, I decided to share my personal thoughts on the same. Like it or not, it’s just like a safety net, and we have no choice. It’s a support, but I felt for some time after the dose was a bit drowsy and feverish. Above all, my hand was painful. Although the fever subsided after 2-3 hours, the weird, funny sensation was there. I don’t know which terms to use here. But it’s always good to go, like better late than never.

People stay safe and get vaccinated.

Wear your mask

Good Health Dynamics: 365 days of Good Health with IE

The other day, I spoke with this friend of mine who is pursuing a PhD in AI with medicine and talking to him, I realized that the current situation is mentally wrecking and playing havoc with emotions.
I acted dumb and drowned myself in those 10 minutes of stereotyped and hyped conservation. I mean, what I expected from a person who is doing his PhD sounded more like a gibberish imprudent statement.

Life is unpredictable. It can be resolved to some extent with IE

Thanks for all the genetically challenged factors passed through ages from ancestors and other family presumptuous occasions. We are categorized as individuals who have our insides covered and concealed with our gallons of ancestral weaknesses. That’s not the topic I wanted to discuss, but I felt way better for one minute and scored more with my
IE skills. I meant (inner engineering skill ) while talking to my friend, well situations are truly grim with the current uncertainties. I meant I have not received any physical report on Inner engineering or a stamped certificate from the glamorous mystic and the illustrated Yogi Sadhguru, but this unconditionally works and takes care of the essential well being.

I have money in my bank that doesn’t sit still but stirs me from time to time with their choices to go anywhere they want to like free birds, they fly and perch on their desired branches be it “ Sharethemeal “ or sometimes in those charities that are working for a cause.
Coming back to inner engineering, what should I say? Is it possible to see the details of this article with the relevant information and explanation? Sometimes I wonder what makes me want to write these things, and then when I read it, I start laughing at my own thoughts and wonder if I can help another person by sharing my thoughts on IE will it dig deep and make them realize what they are missing in real-time in the present word.

I think what I scribbled now, and some more outpouring thoughts and feelings towards my people and my friends who are just a selected few.

 I think the best thing to explain and experience is living in the best way, cause it will take care only with your involvement. I just shared what I experienced after my IE completion.

During one Inner Engineering session with Sadhguru, talking about certain things and for one moment, tears of ecstasy started flowing during the time of meditation. Finally, getting to experience that one delicate moment with the mystic when he actually knocked on my door was the best thing that ever happened to me.

One of my friends was skeptical about it, asking me if it worth doing inner engineering online? My answer to them and those who have doubts about this online is that you just get it if you are totally present and involved.

I’m a free thinker, and this much information I can provide, one should not go for this course for any personal reason or just for the heck of it, but only commit to this if your heart and mind both are willing, or else it won’t happen neither it will work for you. This is my free thought 🙂

I think sometimes my energy and excitement are stuck in my fingers when I type these rewarding words that are forever changing and redefining their purpose and meaning of life every day and every minute. I am learning new things from darkness to light and from light towards oblivion. ©Sohini iThinkfree

Respect for Sadhguru is unparalleled

I will make you rich

Someone sits on some market street and sells this “mantra to a whole world.” Like any vendor selling his products in the local wet market. I wonder how Singapore would look if financial products or loans were sold at a wet market. Jokes apart, it is not funny when you fall for such things, like ” I will make you rich “, “you will become rich before you hit 30“. “you look rich, how aren’t you say you aren’t rich ” and there are more.

I am sitting in Singapore and living a reasonably moderate life all my years. I have understood one secret mantra that you do not get rich in a jiffy. Neither one can be as fit as a fiddle without any proper exercise or a well-balanced diet. Too much hyped sugar-coated tart messages marketed to you either in the form of a subscription or SMS might define unknown trouble.

Read this with a pinch of salt. That’s total bs***

I am no finance guru, but I would like to share a straightforward fact with you like an average commoner. One must have some rainy day savings and, above all, a savings plan which one has access to, not in some policies but which one can access with ease. That must not be shared with anyone, not even with your best chum. Try to focus on building your wealth cause you are not an ATM machine that will churn out money when you are badly in need of it. Neither those subscriptions will pay you back, I mean those who had promised you some years ago that they will make you rich. Let us face the most brutal fact ever. When you are seriously in need of money, friends start distancing, relatives don’t entertain you, or your loved ones just keep you out of their social list. Cause one can’t predict rain, neither anyone could expect a calamity in the form of a pandemic.

So the most important thing for such situations is always to have secured funds for a rainy day. If you are a student, a writer, an entrepreneur, or a businessman, always remember to keep an active savings fund where you can save your money every month. This will not only help you when such situations occur, but you can also deal with it smartly and not sadly.

Out of 108 people inside a room, maybe 30 of them had secured their rainy day funds when they understood the worth and value.

I did mine too from an age when I realized that money is not about Gucci bags and Louis Vuitton wallets or Dior makeup. It is like a fad statement that is good enough for temporary pleasure.
.. I just reminded myself of one thing I heard in some video where the glamorous mystic Sadhguru mentions that “do you wish to live a life of a bhogi, a rogi or a yogi “
Staying or experiencing a monk’s life is not a trajectory; neither starting a savings plan at the eleventh hour will be of any help to you. What you can do now is “being in the moment” and growing your wealth most securely and with a conscious effort.

So much for now, as I scribble these lines from my comfort zone, that is my home in Singapore, like nothing as much relaxing and content to be alive every moment with the sounds and smell of what I call “Truly Asia.”

It’s time to wind up, and before I log off, stay safe and protected, my dear friends, wherever you are. And do not forget to wear your mask.

Good Night 😛
