Welcome!!

Welcome to my blog and thank you for dropping in! There are three activities in which I have been indulging in constantly for the past 9 or more years. Reading books on psychology, the mind-body connection, nutrition, different religions, healing practices, wealth and manifesting dreams. I have been working on bettering myself and doing loads of writing! Except that with all the writing I have being doing I am still trying to finish a book! So I've decided to take the plunge and write my own blog. This way, while I overcome my tendencies to procrastinate I can impart some ideas that I have learnt by book or by experience about random subjects that come to my awareness. Nothing in this blog is absolute truth (except one thing) as truth is subject to perception.

TRUTH: You already know, all you need to know, to be, do and have anything you want.


So take what you like and leave the rest. I hope you enjoy the articles-Tarryn.

How to get the best results while waiting.

                                                     Tick-toc, tick-toc, toc goes the clock
I hate delay, I cannot stay
my thoughts run a muck
If only I can find a way to make it move my way
And all the while it sits there, firm as if to stay.
Tick-toc, no luck, tick-toc, no luck !!!

This morning i felt my patience REALLY been tested! Especially since I really have been patient, and it seems that the more patient I am, the more 'certain' people think that I can wait!
So as you can imagine I was about to blow a gasket, and call whoever I could to get the situation sorted out when I realised that I had been given a chance to practice what I believe. And to practice what I believe consistently.

So when one tries to foster a virtue, especially one like patience, it is important to understand that to truly feel OK with waiting, a higher perspective is needed of the situation.

I believe in the universal principle of right timing, now although I am not referring to any particular religion, it is a principle that can be found in all religious disciplines. It is a universal principle that in today's world of striving is very hard to align with.
I believe that there is a perfect timing in this universe for everything. I believe this because I have experienced synchronicity many, many times. After the synchronistic event has taken place I always marvel at the chain of events that had to take place at the exact time at each link of the chain. I always marvel at the perfect coordination and try to puzzle the pieces of chance in my mind, 'If I had not missed that bus, or if we had not lost that booking or if I had not turned back to answer the phone'. I also know that I could never coordinate life so precisely, at least the limited, rational, impatient part of me. I think the reason why fostering patience is so hard is because:
  1. We are not aware that we live in synchronistic harmony.
  2. We do not know that everything is in harmony and if we just let go, everything falls into place.
  3. We live in the times of instant gratification.
Because we do not know or believe in the principle, life can seem very scary and stressful as we try to do it all ourselves. We perceive ourselves as detached from everything around us, and find it very hard to believe that the universe could be working on our side. But it is! We need only look at nature, everything in nature has it's perfect time. Nothing strains and struggles, and that is because harmony is the nature of God.

So how do we put this principle into practice? Here are some thoughts for you to ponder that could help you get the best results while waiting. Think about this before you find yourself in a situation where you have to wait, as you are likely to go back to your habitual way of thinking at that moment.

  • Write down all the synchronistic events that you remember. Feel the awe you felt when these events took place (It's important to feel the amazement)
  • Realize that you hadn't controlled any of those events with your conscious mind. And everything worked out perfectly.
  • Ponder the fact that such harmonious chance occurrences are not a one time event, but a life time event, which you can experience when you let go of the control.
  • Start using affirmations which could help ground you in the moment such as; 'I am where I am and everything is OK' or 'Everything is working out in my favor' .
So after I noticed my anger, I switched from being angry to realising that these people where not in control of my life nor my future they are merely playing their part in the universal principle of perfect timing, and that although I can't see the reason, everything is working in my favor. And then I took a deep........ breathe. The situation cleared up 10mins after that.

Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily tasks, go to sleep. God is awake
Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
