Hi and welcome.
I'm Prathima Nagraj,
Your host,
And in today's podcast we are exploring finding your inner strength.
What do you do when you're encountered with challenging life situations where you feel like you're in a deep dark crevice and there is no ray of light to help you find your way out?
Those days when you feel like the ground beneath you is sinking so fast and you have nothing to hold on to,
As if you're in quicksand and there is a strong unknown force pulling you down rapidly.
The more you struggle to come out of it,
The more you sink in.
Feeling weak and fragile,
Helpless and powerless,
Wanting to quit,
Wanting to give up.
Sounds very familiar.
Wondering,
Will I ever be strong enough to get beyond this?
Will I ever feel normal again?
Trust me,
You're not alone.
Life will deliver blows.
It can knock you off your balance when you least expect.
But you are stronger than that.
You are greater than every crisis that comes your way.
Now close your eyes and feel your breath energizing your body,
Filling up every pore of your skin.
It's time now to be that someone for you,
Who cares about you and brings you back to that space of love and strength,
Making you realize you are way more powerful than you think.
You're not alone because you have you,
The best friend you could ever have asked for.
When you feel like wanting to quit and give up,
When you feel like you can't endure it anymore,
All you have to do is take one more step.
Just one more step.
Because even nature doesn't give up easily.
Nature always finds a way and so will you.
This is the time to not look outside of you,
But to go inwards,
Beautiful being,
And embark on that inner journey,
The road that is less traveled.
You may want to run the opposite way and seek help outside of you,
Something you've been doing all along,
But that can only take you so far.
This inner journey of looking deep within you is a journey of transformation.
We spend most of our time judging,
Looking at the problems as something wrong and bad,
But we forget that these crises and challenges are some of our greatest teachers.
Because behind every disaster and crisis,
There is a deep level of awareness and learning that when you embrace will take you closer to your heart,
Fill you with more kindness and make you stronger to receive life in its fullest and receive you as a whole.
It's time to stop suffering,
Beautiful one,
Because every crisis is a learning in disguise and an opportunity for you to step up and receive more of you,
Receive those parts of you that you have forgotten and left far behind.
It's time to be grateful to every life's blow,
To every crisis,
To every challenge,
To every problem and receive it with grace and gratitude for all it is doing is building your inner strength and showing you how powerful and potent you are.
