Luxury, Spirituality and You

I wanted to pen this post as this has been on my mind since past few weeks. There are quite a few thoughts but before that, I will clarify what I mean by "Luxury".

Does Luxury means wealth, expensive cars or dining in a 5-star hotel? Does it means having a big bank balance? Or does it means having fame and recognition in your peer circle?

Technically, for some people, that holds true.

But here what I mean by luxury is "anything and everything" that makes your own self feel loved. Yes , you could feel so by going to an expensive spa and pampering yourself. But you could also feel loved and happy when you indulge in some soulful music at a time you want to. This means you are giving yourself a musical treat at your desired time. That is luxury indulgence. Speaking to a friend you were remembering after years and sharing old memories is a luxury as well . Standing in your balcony with greenery all around , and you having a drink in your hands and reflecting on how blessed you are to have this moment with your own self , is a luxury too.

In short, all small , little things that give nourishment, happiness, contentment to your soul and make you feel loved in your own eyes, is "Luxury indulgence".

Materialistic luxuries do not pass the test of time. They look ordinary once you have achieved them. However luxuries derived from memories, relations, friendships, love, travelling, meditation and many other small pleasures in life will always pass the test of time. These are eternal.

How often do you indulge in them?

Can we make it a point to have a routine of " Luxury Indulgence" every weekend?

It is extremely important to do so, to feel abundant and to feel the little pleasures of life that we miss while running around in our daily chores. Feeling that sense of gratitude and happiness while doing so, is nothing but a day of mediation when you have thanked this universe and acknowledged that you are blessed.

You will in fact get it more. You will see a change in your emotions and your emotional well being with this indulgence and being feeling blessed.

If you are convinced or find a little truth in what I have written, why don't you pen down anything that makes you happy or brings that glitter in your eyes. Hobby, Material things, Friendships, Your love of reading, Your love for music , Your house and the interior design that you got done with lot of passion or which you want to get done, Your relationships, Your Wish to travel somewhere etc, etc..... Just write it down with your Name on the top of a sheet . There might be things which you have and which you aspire to. Please indulge in stuff what you have regularly . Feel them and be aware of them and express your gratitude for having them.

What you aspire for, please do a simple meditation where you close your eyes for 5 minutes and think yourself visualising those luxuries. No other thoughts but only you having the foresight of having achieved these luxuries.

See a change thereafter. Post me or message me here if it makes a difference.

Ending thought in my style:-))

फुर्सत महंगी है वरना सुकून तो इतना सस्ता है कि चाय की प्याली में मिल जाता है

Warm wishes and Positive vibes only.
