We are the world Let us meditate
July 2017
Our emotions also relay vibes to the universe. For instance, worry breeds confusion. All of our fretting and wondering about a good life partner will present us with situations where our confusion persists. Dr Dabhi went on to talk about how we can use perceived negatives but powerful emotions like anger in our favour. “Anger is a very potent emotion and can transmit our orders to the universe farther than a relatively less intense emotion like, say, optimism can. So, the next time you are angry, use its underlying energy to motivate you to work towards your goal,” she said.The belief that the universe is listening to us at all times so we must be mindful of our words, formed the undercurrent of this one-day workshop. It’s important to note that the universe also listens to what we don’t say out loud – our thoughts and actions. For instance, if a girl who is being abused by a boy continues to tolerate it, she is communicating to the universe that she is fine with the abuse and it will continue to manifest in her reality. We must also be careful of other people’s thoughts, words and actions which we surround ourselves with and ours too which others around us are subjected to.Most of us have followed the saying, “umeed pe duniya kaayam hai” (hope is what keeps the world going) all our lives. However, Mumbai based healer, Dr Cheryl Dabhi, believes otherwise. “Hope is hopeless,” she said, to the surprise of most participants who attended her ‘Controlling the Crazy Universe’ workshop at Integral Space, Mumbai, in association with Life Positive Foundation. Dr Dabhi propounded that when we operate from a place of hope we surrender control. Instead of hoping for the best and preparing for the worst we must work for the best and expect the best.
We ended the workshop with a guided meditation session where we were asked to stand up with our feet slightly apart, our chests broadened to open our heart chakras and our faces slightly tilted upwards. We left the workshop pepped up and empowered to bring about sanity to an otherwise crazy universe, all through meditation.
