'NYC Fit Living'

Greetings, dear friends.  To think is to embrace the essence of humanity, yet in this embrace, one must confront the ceaseless dance of duality that binds the human experience. Within this world of duality—where good and evil, right and wrong, are merely two sides of the same coin—lies a profound truth:  Both aspects emerge from the same mind that creates them, a mind caught in the pendulum swing of opposites. When you live solely from the mind, you are ensnared in this ceaseless oscillation. For a while, the pendulum may swing toward happiness, but inevitably, it will swing back to its opposite, leaving you to experience its shadow. This cycle is inescapable as long as you remain entangled in the realm of the mind, where the ego reigns supreme. The ego, a reactive mechanism, guides the material journey, shaping perceptions and responses. It drives the endless cycle of highs and lows, a creation of the mind that perpetuates its own quest.  The key to transcend this unceas...

  Welcome to the grand tapestry of existence. We find ourselves ensnared by ceaseless currents of distraction, drawn inexorably into the whirlpool of external stimuli. The relentless parade of thoughts, like shadows upon the screen of our minds, keeps us entangled in a web spun from social media threads and fleeting amusements. This constant bombardment pulls us away from the sanctity of our own being, leaving us adrift in an ocean of noise, illusion, and confusion. To find our way back to the purity of the self, we must turn our gaze inward, beyond the frenetic externality. The path to our true essence is not in the clamor of the outside world but in the serene stillness that resides within.   Meditation becomes our beacon, guiding us to the sanctuary of our inner silence. In its embrace, we learn to become still, untangle ourselves from the chaos, and find the profound peace that is our birthright. We have become so enmeshed in the feast of information and entertainment that...

Attention, seeker of truth: grasp this insight deeply—the ego mind is merely a transient shadow, an illusion conjured by the interplay of light and darkness. Visualize it as a deceptive GPS system leading you through the material world.  This phantom device tricks you into identifying solely with your body, perceiving yourself as isolated among a sea of other bodies, all in a competitive struggle within this world of appearances. It perpetuates the illusion of separation to keep you safe and secure within this deceptive reality. This entity transmits myriad thoughts, beliefs, and conditioned reactions to the unconscious remnants of the past that have accumulated like dust in an old, forgotten warehouse. These stored experiences then project onto the world, creating the scenes and narratives of your external reality. Imagine your consciousness as an empty screen, a limitless canvas where shadows play. It merely reflects whatever is projected onto it. If the ego mind is nothing more ...

Welcome to the silent dance of existence, where thought dare not tread,   There lies the essence of consciousness—pure, unadorned, and free.   It is the gaze without an eye, the presence that beholds itself,   Untouched by the shadows of the ego’s realm or the whispers of the mind. Here, consciousness is not an object to be seen but the silent seer,   Unfolding in the boundless expanse of being, untouched by likes or dislikes.   It is the essence that embraces the divine breath of all that is,   Surrendering to the vast emptiness, where every thought dissolves. Just as a drop surrenders to the embrace of the ocean’s vastness,   So, does consciousness melt into the infinite,   Returning home to the pure, empty space of awareness.   So, embrace the transformative power of awakening through personal training, meditation, mindfulness, and destress, and embark on a lifelong journey towards genuine happi...

Welcome to the awakening from the dream matrix. One must journey into the profound interplay between waking and sleeping dreams, unraveling the intricate truths they reveal about our existence. When night descends, and we yield to the embrace of sleep, a small death, we cross into a realm where the lines between reality and illusion blur. In this shadowy domain of dreams, we don countless masks and assume myriad forms, each vision rendered in vivid clarity and felt with profound intensity.   This dream world seems authentic because it is a projection of our deepest psyche, meticulously orchestrated by the unconscious mind. The unconscious is a masterful weaver, spinning dreams with symbolism and emotional depth. These dreams act as mirrors, reflecting our inner states—our longings, anxieties, unresolved conflicts, and the mental barriers that hinder our full awakening.   The intensity of the dream experience often feels more tangible than waking life because it resonates so cl...

Welcome to the understanding that men and women move through life as if constrained by unseen chains. They are trapped in repetitive routines and haunted by past echoes, lacking the freshness of spontaneity or the vibrancy of the present moment. Consider your essence not yet fully awakened, like a seed in fertile soil, holding the promise of becoming a towering tree but still slumbering in potential. You are a repository of borrowed beliefs, a junkyard of others' convictions, lacking in original thought and the discovery of your true self. Are you endlessly spinning in a cycle, like a hamster on a wheel, feeling directionless and lost? Do you ponder your true  purpose and essence in life? Have you ever glimpsed your true self and acted from that profound place of understanding, or do you find yourself echoing the words and ideas of others? To transcend this mechanical existence and unveil your authentic self, first recognize that your life is governed by inherited habits rather tha...

Consider this: Every thought that arises from the depths of your consciousness brings forth a new realm from the boundless expanse of possibilities. Each mental image breathes life into a world of its own, sculpted from the raw essence of potential. Yet, these worlds are ephemeral, disappearing as swiftly as they appear when your focus shifts. They are shadows that rely on your attention for their existence, mirages sustained only by the gaze of your consciousness . Thus, mastering the art of directing your thoughts becomes akin to holding the key to shaping the very fabric of your reality. When you command your mind, you control the world it weaves into existence, crafting your manifestations with the precision of a true master. Alter your thoughts, and you reshape the world. In the grand theater of existence, where each thought intricately shapes the tapestry of reality, directing your mind becomes a skill as refined as wielding a cosmic loom. Just as an artisan meticulously threads ...

Consider this; to free yourself from the relentless cacophony of racing thoughts, try a technique that transforms your focus from the realm of sound to the realm of sight. This method gently guides your attention away from the mental noise and immerses you in a soothing visual experience. Begin by softly directing your attention away from any physical sensations or though ts you might be experiencing. Close your eyes, and take a deep breath in for a count of four, then exhale for a count of six. Repeat this breathing exercise three times. Afterward, just observe your breath as it flows naturally and effortlessly for a few moments without trying to alter it. Next, picture your thoughts as ripples on a calm lake. Imagine smoothing out these ripples, like pressing wrinkles out of a shirt, until the lake's surface becomes perfectly mirror-like, stretching under a peaceful, clear, empty sky.  Picture the lake’s tranquil surface mirroring the serene scene around it. To deepen this sense ...

Welcome friends. If you're feeling down, try this NLP switching technique to see if it helps shift your mood.  Please note: This technique is not intended for those with deep emotional issues. Always consult a qualified physician for such concerns. 1. Identify the Sensation: Focus on the part of your body where you feel out of sorts or unmotivated.  Gently place your hand on that specific area. This helps anchor your attention to the physical sensation you are currently feeling. 2. Enhance the Sensation: Imagine intensifying the sensation you’re experiencing by 10 percent. Notice how this subtle increase affects your perception of the feeling. Pay attention to any changes in its intensity or quality. 3. Visual Representation: Shift your focus from physical sensation to a visual representation of a person experiencing the same sensation. Observe this figure closely, noting their expressions, posture, and other details that capture the essence of the feeling. 4. Constr...

Acknowledge this, dear friends: we  don’t perceive the world as it truly is; instead, we only see reflections of our inner state. Our perceptions are not mere observations but projections of our thoughts, beliefs, and identities. What we experience in the world is deeply colored by our internal landscapes—our hopes, fears, worries, and conditioning. Consider the blue sky, for example. It seems so definitive and real, appearing as a boundless expanse of blue. Yet, if we ascend beyond this appearance,  we encounter no sky or blue—only the absence of these appearances. The sky’s blueness is a construct of our imagination, not an intrinsic quality of the universe. Similarly, when we step into the world, what we experience is a projection of our inner beliefs onto the screen of life. This screen only reflects back what we have projected onto it.   We are the screen—pure consciousness—rather than the images that appear. To awaken from this dream-like hypnotic state, we must rec...

  Reflect on this: In the labyrinth of existence, we face a profound choice: to drift aimlessly with the mind's endless currents or anchor ourselves in the depths of consciousness.  Often, we are swept away by the tempest of thought, lost in its fierce currents and endless tide. Yet, a greater stillness beckons—a tranquil sanctuary of being, untouched by the fleeting reveries of the mind. To reach this serene state, one must cultivate a refined awareness. When thoughts emerge like ripples on a tranquil pond, resist the urge to be pulled into their movement. Instead, remain a steady observer, a quiet witness to the ephemeral dance of the mind. How can we stop chasing fleeting dreams and discover peace in the quietude of our own being? How to find peace in stillness, letting go of thoughts and distractions. In that calm silence, connect with your true essence, the "I AM." How to Anchor Yourself in the Present Moment: To anchor yourself in the present, start by becoming awar...

Welcome to the cosmic theater of existence, where the world reveals itself as a grand illusion—the Maya, the celestial performance—true mastery is not found in wrestling with the surface events but in unraveling the essence of consciousness that threads through them.  To rise above the trials of existence, one must see through the drama, the roles we play, the encounters we stumble upon, and the objects we clutch as mere reflections of a deeper, hidden reality. Life’s essence reveals itself in surrendering the ego to the natural flow and placing faith in a higher force that spins our fate.  Rather than battling with our circumstances, we must attune ourselves to the creative pulse that molds our experience. In synchronizing with this divine current, we surpass the snares of reactive thought, which only magnify our struggles and bind us in cycles of karma. Challenges are not to be fought head-on. Instead, the path to serenity lies in detaching from the mind’s turbulent dance—it...

Dear friends, picture ourselves caught in a world where endless cycles turn like the relentless wheel of samsara. This realm stretches across the past, present, and future, intricately woven through the rise and fall of all things in a vast tapestry of illusion—Maya.  In this unceasing cycle, we find ourselves trapped, endlessly swept up in its repetitive motion. This world of human consciousness—comprising body, mind, and matter—follows the rhythms of nature. Like the seasons, all things emerge with the vitality of spring, are sustained in the fullness of summer, and eventually descend in the decline of autumn, only to rest in the dormancy of winter. Just as the seasons transform the earth—from the vibrant ascent of rising spring to the serene plateau of hot summer, then to the reflective fall, and finally the quiet dormancy of cold winter—so too does the cycle of our lives unfold. Our bodies mirror this journey, experiencing peak vitality, stability, decline, and rest. Likewise, ...
