The Spiritual Anatomy

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on March 2, 2024 0

The Spiritual Anatomy by Daaji is my book for review today.

A serial entrepreneur turned spiritual guide whose Happiness journey is quite interesting and can make a very good story for the big screen.But saying that it’s also inspiring and insightful.

Pros :Talks about finding the centre within and journey of spirituality within .

The book is divided in sections according to what’s the area of spiritual anatomy you want to work on.

You learn about the different Chakras and how they work and how to find the centre within.

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you knowvthis is the experience you Need?Because this is the experience you are having at the moment. “
Eckhart Tolle

Daaji give us bits and pieces of his life and learnings throughout the book.

It’s an interesting book taking you on a journey within to find a stronger , calmer,clearer self.I like his dividing the book into different sections depending on the area of work .It’s like the Blooming of an internal flower.

If you are someone who wants to try meditation with yout spiritual anatomy as your guide ,give this a read.Its definitely a good way to become a more mindful self.

Since he started on his journey after raising kids and running a successful pharmacy business, you realize that this journey into a spiritual self started during his age (possible)of the Banprastha.That in itself is crucial.He was attracted to asceticism at a young age but was guided back to his home by the words of a wise monk.Life choices are not easy .They are not meant to be.Anyone who works on the path of self discovery realizes the journey and the destination are both highly coveted.You have to start the journey somewhere and this book is an interesting option for those who like to work inside out.

7 Lessons from Spiritual Anatomy

Our goal is to evolve our consciousness, to discover greater meaning and purpose in life and to àcheive our highest potential.

The caterpillar grows into a butterfly, even if it doesn’t wish to.You can grow into your own potential willfully.Here willfully means obstinate determination but in a good way.That is with the full force of your will.That’s special about human life

We grow physically,mentally and spiritually and our growth across these dimensions comes from the choices we make and the actions we take.

When the heart is at peace,the mind is at ease

Self Realization is the ultimate goal.

Your journey from what you are now, to who you ought to be the truest expression of you potential.

Book name Spiritual Anatomy: Meditation, Chakras, and the Journey to the Center

Author

Daaji a.k.a Kamlesh D. Patel (born 1956) Padma Bhushan also known as Daaji among his followers, is a spiritual leader, author and the fourth in the line of Rāja yoga masters in the Sahaj Marg system of spiritual practice. He has spent the last 4 decades training people across the globe in Heartfulness meditation. He enjoys going o nature walks with his grand children in Kanha Shanti Vanam ,India where he lives with his family.

His other Works

The Heartfulness Way (2018), Designing Destiny (2019), The Wisdom Bridge (2022), Spiritual Anatomy: Meditation, Chakras, and the Journey to the Center (2023

Official overview

From the internationally bestselling author of The Heartfulness Way comes a journey to the center of our consciousness, mapping a path for you to connect to your highest self through Heartfulness meditation and guided chakra practices.

When we think of wellbeing, we often think of our physical and mental health-tending to our bodies and minds to find peace, purpose, and connection in our lives. But as Kamlesh D. Patel (affectionately known as Daaji), spiritual leader of the Heartfulness Organization and fourth in line to the raja yoga tradition illuminates, there is a third system we too often overlook: The Spiritual Anatomy.

Cons

Not a religious text which is okay but there lies the basic confusion in the storytelling.Because the author wants to appeal to all the religion without mentioning the birth of meditation and why that works.That is something I wish he had written more about for better understanding ,even if in the addendum or in the more to read section .

If that is a deliberate choice that’s good too.But if you want to reach the centre of youur soul,you might need to know the centre of the yogic meditation where it all started.However that’s just my mindset

So will I recommend this book?Absolutely. It’s a book that will slowly guide you on your journey towards finding your deepest aspiration,highest potential and a calmer self.

Buy it on Amazon .

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on July 20, 2023 5

I started painting in 2020 pandemic because I couldn’t visit the flower gardens and nurseries.I started writing stories in 2020 because that was the best way to forget what was happening.Painting,gardening and writing Cozy Mysteries are my favorite leisure activities.

I am grateful I can still create as an adult.Because once we stop feeding our creative soul our childhood is gone forever.

There are Always Flowers for Those who want to see them .
Dr.Amrita Basu

Now three years down the line that time seems to be like a bad dream.which has taught me more about myself than I ever thought possible.

I realized I need to listen more.

Listening is your most powerful tool to deal with the world.

Just playing with painting

Listen to people,to birds,bees and what the trees and flowers whisper.

I need to stare at flowers more often because they are so full of optimism and light.

The Golden Hibiscus

I learned I can be better every day and kindness really is the best gift we can give each other.

The Ultimate Blog Challenge has the best,kindest and the most inspiring group of bloggers and Paul Taubman is one of a kind.I don’t know any other Challenge where people follow the rules,have fun and learn so much.If more people where like my Ultimate Blog Challenge friends,the world would bloom.

Because Art and creativity is sustainable

These kings and Queens are the kind of people I like .Hope you know a few like these too.Because the world can be better when we support each other and not trample each other.

It’s about living happier.Together.

But if you can’t do that,pick your battles with care.

Your thoughts, your actions, your reading, your sense of humour, everything gets packed into your mind, and if you have an imagination, what a wonderful assortment it will have to choose from!”
Enid Blyton

“Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It’s a way of understanding it.”― Lloyd Alexander

Sometimes life and fiction are but different names.

― William Faulkner

Oh well, even if you don’t throw it out of the window, now you know what it takes.

“No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.”
― Robert Frost

― Natalie Goldberg

Write about things you know.

“Anything we fully do is an alone journey.”
― Natalie Goldberg

Writing is a solitary journey. But you need to know people if you want to create engaging characters and connect.

Finally, you just do it because you happen to like it.”
― Natalie Goldberg, Wild Mind: Living the Writer’s Life

That my dear friend, is why I write.

Forgive:10 Quotes to make you think!

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on March 4, 2019 6

Can you forgive? Can you forget? Does time heal? What happens when you don’t forgive? Do you get a sour taste in your mouth? Does your heart beat increase? Do you feel your face flushing? Do you stop making complete sense?

Anger, the feeling of abandonment, betrayal, distrust, all makes it difficult for true forgiveness. Also sometimes it too late. The person is no more and things change forever. What do you do then? You try to forgive for your own sake. When holding on to the anger makes you feel sick, you know it’s time to let go.

10 Forgiveness quotes to Help you

#1 Always Forgive your enemies. Nothing annoys them as much. Oscar Wilde

#2 Dumbledore says people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter

I told you so is this not a great idea

#3 We are told that people stay in love because of chemistry, or because they remain intrigued with each other, because of many kindnesses, because of luck. But part of it has got to be forgiveness and gratefulness . Ellen Goodman

#4 Loving does mean you forgive a lot and forget even more. People have to forgive. We don’t have to like them, we don’t have to be friends with them, we don’t have to send them hearts in text messages, but we have to forgive them, to overlook, to forget. Because if we don’t we are tying rocks to our feet, too much for our wings to carry! C. JoyBell C.

[bctt tweet=”Forgive so that you can fly again! ” username=”misra_amrita”]

#5 Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies. Nelson Mandela

#6 It is important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes. We need to learn from our errors and move on. Steve Maraboli

#7 Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.John F. Kennedy

An excellent idea. You don’t want to repeat mistakes right?

#8 The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget. Thomas Szasz

This sounds like a working solution!

#9 Often women believe it is a sign of commitment, an expression of love, to endure unkindness or cruelty, to forgive and forget. In actuality, when we love rightly we know that the healthy, loving response to cruelty and abuse is putting ourselves out of harm’s way. Bell Hooks, All About Love

Ladies remember forgiving this means getting out. Fast! Not repeating mistakes. Abuse should never be accepted.

10. Forgiving others is like giving yourself a second chance at feeling better.
