"From the Personal to the Cosmic: Unveiling the 'I am' in a Journey of Self-Discovery"

Once upon the eternal expanse of consciousness, there existed two distinct realms of existence: the small 'i' and the majestic 'I'.

The ego self dwelt in the realm of the small 'i', nestled within the folds of human experience. It spoke in the language of form and function, proclaiming, "i am this, i am that." It knew itself through roles and identities — a child, an adult, a student, a lawyer, a politician. It reveled in the definitions of size and shape — big, short, overweight, skinny. Yet, this small 'i' was not without its shadows. It often whispered with criticism, finding faults, always with something to say. This was the realm of human consciousness, where the ego's personality thrived.

Contrasting this ephemeral small 'i' was the majestic 'I AM'. Here, in the domain of divine consciousness, words dissolved into silence, and labels fell away like autumn leaves. 'I AM' simply existed whole and complete, untouched by the allure of fame, attention, or notoriety. It was pure beingness, devoid of any adjective or limitation — a timeless essence that transcended form and function.

In the dance of existence, these two 'I AM's intertwined, each playing its part in the cosmic symphony. The small 'i' sought definition and purpose, while the grand 'I AM' radiated in pure, unblemished presence. Together, they formed the tapestry of human experience, where the ego's chatter mingled with the divine's silence, weaving threads of understanding and growth.

And so, within every individual, the illusionary 'i' and the grand 'I AM' coexist, offering glimpses into the duality and unity of existence itself. In the embrace of both lies the journey of awakening — a poetic, mystic dance of discovering the true essence of 'I AM'.

So, embrace the transformative power of awakening through personal training, meditation, mindfulness, and destress, and embark on a lifelong journey towards genuine happiness. Visit us at personaltrainerny.com to begin your journey today.

"Do You Believe or Question Every Thought That Comes to You?"

Ah, dear friend, the winds of thought are many, and their voices and images are loud and relentless. Yet, do not be deceived by their clamor. The thoughts you entertain are not your own; they are the echoes of others, whispers that drift from past generations, from teachers, parents, strangers, and even from the world around you. But these thoughts, these fleeting phantoms, do not define you. They are borrowed, like a leaf carried by a current, pulled into your mind and momentarily resting there before the next gust of wind takes it away. You see, thoughts are not anchored in truth. They come and go like the clouds in the sky. One moment, they are shaped and thick with meaning; the next, they dissolve into nothingness. If you stop to look at them, you will realize that thoughts themselves cannot be trusted—they are not fixed or permanent. They float by, like the passing seasons, changing their form and shifting their hue. And just like clouds, they hide the vast, unchanging ...

"The Power of Stillness: How to Build Inner Strength and Stay Centered in a Chaotic World"

Ah, young seekers, gather round. You are on the cusp of understanding something profound, something that, if you grasp it, will change the way you see the world forever. So, listen closely, for this isn't the kind of wisdom you find in your textbooks, but something much older, deeper, and more powerful. Imagine life as an ancient theater where the same timeless drama has unfolded since the beginning of time. But here's the secret: it’s always the same play, always the same drama, though the faces of the actors change. The characters' names shift with every generation, and the costumes are different, but the story, the themes, and the struggles are all the same. Birth, death, love, hate, joy, sorrow, victory, defeat… on and on. The drama doesn’t end. It never truly does. Now, in this world, in this third-dimensional existence, we live caught between the forces of duality—the dance of opposites. Right and wrong, light and dark, success and failure, pleasure and pai...

Let us explore them together. 1. Rise with the Sun: Begin Your Day with Meditation and Gratitude As you open your eyes, welcome the quiet morning. Before the world's demands begin, take a few moments to center yourself free from urgency or expectation.
