SAAMAKSHI MEDIUM

Are we addicted to chaos? The sacred stillness we keep avoiding. You can motivate. You can inspire. You can hold space. But you cannot make the change. That moment must be born from within - not coerced, not explained into existence. Transformation is not a transaction. It is an awakening. And like all awakenings, it arrives in its own time, when the soul is ready to remember. We live in a world obsessed with control - of outcomes, of people, of ourselves. But control is not power. It is the illusion of safety. Real power begins the moment we surrender the need to direct everything and instead, listen. This is where healing begins - not with effort, but with acceptance. Acceptance not as resignation, but as recognition: this is what is, now. In that still point, transformation begins. We have become so used to noise. So used to rushing, explaining, fixing. We are addicted to chaos, not because we love suffering, but because it’s familiar. Stillness, on the other hand, feels dangerous. ...

There’s something both tragic and beautiful about how seriously we take ourselves. Every high, every heartbreak, every tiny win on a Tuesday — we hold them close like precious proof that we’re truly living. We celebrate, sulk, spiral, perform. We move through joy and despair as though they define us. And for a moment, they do. But what if it’s all just a play? Not to dismiss the beauty or the ache. Both are real in their own time. But what if pride, sorrow, laughter, longing — all of it — were just the costumes of being human? Experiences to pass through, not homes to live in. The truth is no matter what role you’re playing today, you’re also the one watching it unfold. And that watcher — still, aware, unchanging — is where freedom begins. Freedom is not in avoiding emotion. It’s in knowing it’s not you. It’s in being able to laugh gently at your own emotional weather without letting it storm inside you. We often think choice is grand. Choosing careers, partners, new cities....

If I asked you,  “Tell me about yourself,”  what would you say? You might smile politely and begin listing the usual things: your name, your job, where you live, maybe what you like to do on weekends. And I’d nod, of course. But what if I gently asked again: No titles No roles No labels No timelines No definitions Now, tell me about yourself. It’s not such an easy question anymore, is it? We spend so much of our lives being introduced to ourselves through the eyes of the world. We are told who we are, how to be, what to become. We build ourselves around labels like stones: daughter, manager, Hindu, artist, overachiever, dreamer. We begin to think these bricks are the house. But they’re just the outer walls. The deeper truth of who you are is not in your bio or résumé or in the roles you juggle with grace each day. It's not in what you do or what you believe. It's not even in the stories you’ve told yourself to make sense of your life. So, who are you underneath? What remains w...

We live in a time that rewards output but forgets to value balance. We applaud hustle, not harmony. And somewhere along the way, many of us forgot how to take care of the whole human we are. We measure success by how much we produce, not how we feel. We glorify the sleepless nights, the packed calendars, the constant motion,  proof that we’re “doing something.” But in all that doing, we often stop being. Being rested. Being present. Being at peace with ourselves. We’re taught that burnout is a badge. That pushing through discomfort is noble. That if you’re not constantly achieving, you’re somehow falling behind. But no one tells us what we’re actually chasing. Or what happens when we finally “make it” and still feel empty. What about the parts of us that don’t show up on performance reviews? The tenderness in our relationships. The calm in our breath. The joy of spending a day not optimizing for anything. These are markers of a life that’s working. But we’ve learned to ignore them,...

We are taught early to seek fairness, as if the world runs on equal measure. Do good, and good will return. Offer kindness, and it will be returned in kind. We chase this invisible symmetry like a rhythm we’re meant to dance in, and when the beat slips, when something feels off, we call it unfair. We blame the world, or power, or systems. But sometimes the imbalance isn’t out there. It’s in what we hold back. We think fairness lives in rules, in being right, in keeping peace. But much of what we call peace is just unspoken tension. Quiet avoidance. We soften our words to be palatable. We laugh when something stings. We lower our voice when it should rise. Not because we don’t see the wrong, but because we fear what happens if we name it. We hold ourselves back. Not for their sake, but because deep down, we don’t yet trust that our truth will be met with love. When we do not trust ourselves, we look at others through that same lens. Every silence feels loaded. Every misstep, betrayal. W...

Have you ever had that quiet thought in the middle of a busy day:  “Is this really it?” Maybe you're successful by most standards. You’ve got the job, the responsibilities, the lifestyle. You’re independent, driven, and grateful for all you’ve achieved. But beneath all that, there’s a flicker of something else. A deeper longing. A curiosity for meaning. A craving for stillness. Maybe you’ve even heard it whisper to you during long commutes or quiet nights, calling you toward something spiritual, something real. But then life takes over again. Emails. Deadlines. Meetings. Expectations. That little voice fades into the background. For so many people, especially those in high-performing roles, the path of spirituality often feels out of reach. Not because they aren’t drawn to it, but because they’re trapped in a structure that doesn’t allow for stillness. They know meditation works. They’ve felt the power of silence. But the pull of productivity and the never-ending list of tasks alwa...

Ever feel like life has become a series of checkboxes, a list of tasks that never truly  mean  anything? What if I told you that spirituality isn’t about stillness—it’s about  finding stillness in motion ? It’s not about escaping life’s flow, but about  riding it , fully present, fully alive. The secret? You figure things out  only  when you decide you will. The moment you say,  I don’t know how , or insist there’s only  one  way to do something, you lock yourself in. You stop creating. You stop expanding. And before you know it, life becomes a dull loop of repetition. But look around—there are at least 500 ways to put dish soap on a sponge. If something so basic holds endless possibilities, imagine the infinite ways to approach work, love, or problem-solving. The idea that there's only  one  right way? That’s the biggest illusion of all. That’s  slavery to tools . The Illusion of Process We’ve been trained to follow. To adhere...

Why is it so hard to ask for help? Whether it’s sending that email, texting a colleague, or seeking guidance from someone more experienced, fear often stops us in our tracks. We’re scared of looking weak, being judged, or giving someone else the credit. But the truth is, no one succeeds alone. Asking for support is not a sign of failure; it’s an act of courage that strengthens connections and builds growth. Somewhere along the way, we’ve become so focused on being independent that we’ve forgotten the value of collaboration. We act like kids hoarding candy, worried that sharing will leave us with less. But what if sharing actually creates more for everyone? What if reaching out for help helps us grow stronger together? It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking, “If I share my ideas, someone else might get ahead.” Or, “What if I ask a stupid question and embarrass myself?” These fears make us insecure and keep us stuck. But life is built on co-creation. Just like trees give us oxygen a...

 “Wisdom is in innocence.” It’s a reminder to stay playful, take risks, laugh freely, and find hope even in tough times. In a world full of rules and expectations, this simple idea brings us back to what really matters: believing in ourselves and the spark of possibility within us. We live in multiple realities at once, whether we realize it or not. There’s the visible, structured world with its societal norms and limitations. And then there’s another layer—a more personal, limitless space—where our potential thrives. Call it the Universe, the Creator, or the Divine; the truth is, creation exists in every one of us. The more we restrict ourselves to others’ ideas of success or failure, the more we deny the unique magic we carry. The story of  Sri Bala , the divine daughter of  Maa Lalita Tripura Sundari , captures this perfectly. Sri Bala, just a child, wanted to fight demons. Her mother, wise and protective, hesitated, worried that her daughter would be harmed. But Bala’...

  "The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are." – Joseph Campbell We live in a world where everything seems defined for us—our roles, our goals, even our identities. Society loves to box us in, telling us who we should be, what we should strive for, and how to measure success. These definitions can feel like safety nets, but in truth, they’re often invisible chains. What if I told you that the real magic, the kind that creates life-changing manifestations, begins when you stop defining everything? Here’s the thing: all the knowledge we have today—whether it’s spiritual, intellectual, or practical—comes from those who walked the path before us. Their wisdom can guide us, but it’s not a roadmap we’re meant to follow to the letter. Why? Because it wasn’t made for  you . It lacks your essence, your unique way of seeing and experiencing the world. And that’s the beauty of life: nothing in this world is worth experiencing unless it’s filtered through the lens of your true sel...

Goals, dreams, plans—what if I told you they’re holding you back? Yes, you heard me right. Forget the manifestation charts, the vision boards, the detailed life plans. Chuck them all out the window and take a deep breath. Because here’s the thing: when you’re chasing goals, you’re not free. Let me share a moment from my own life. A few years ago, I was consumed by ambition—deadlines, to-do lists, personal milestones. I thought I was doing everything right. But the harder I worked toward my goals, the more anxious and unfulfilled I felt. Even when I achieved something, it didn’t feel enough. I’d immediately set a bigger, shinier goal. Sound familiar? Think about it: What is your definition of a “good life”? For some, it’s owning a cozy home. For others, it’s traveling the world, driving a luxury car, or earning a six-figure salary. And while there’s nothing wrong with these aspirations, the problem lies in how they control us. Every time you achieve a goal, a bigger one takes its place....

Magnets are fascinating, aren’t they? Their pull is undeniable, their energy invisible yet powerful. Magnets attract not just because of their structure but because of their inherent alignment. Flip them the wrong way, and they repel just as fiercely. This simple, elegant law of physics mirrors a profound truth about life and relationships: We attract and repel based on who we are and the energy we emit. Think of the people you’re naturally drawn to—those who seem to light up a room just by being themselves. These magnetic personalities aren’t trying to impress anyone. They’re not people-pleasers or chameleons bending to fit the crowd. Instead, their aura is calm, genuine, and full of self-assurance. Being in their presence feels uplifting, inspiring even, because they exude an energy that says, “I know who I am, and I’m at peace with it.” Such people are magnets for success—not just in relationships but in every aspect of life. Their positivity and authenticity create a ripple effect....

In a world where control seems to be the ultimate goal, letting go often feels counterintuitive. We plan meticulously, analyze endlessly, and judge both ourselves and others, all in the pursuit of happiness and success. But what if the secret to a fulfilling life isn’t in controlling every detail, but in allowing life to flow through you, guided by intuition and divine wisdom? To truly experience this, you must create space within yourself—clearing the clutter of fear, ego, and overthinking. Only then can you be open to receiving the gentle signs and messages the Universe offers. These signs don’t disrupt your life or create chaos; they align seamlessly with your path, allowing you to glide through challenges and opportunities with grace. Let Go of Resistance The more we resist, the harder life becomes. Resistance comes from fear—the fear of failure, the fear of judgment, or the fear of the unknown. This fear leads us to overplan, second-guess, and cling to control. But what if, instea...

Meditation. The word alone feels heavy with expectation, doesn’t it? Whether it’s promises of opening your third eye, awakening your kundalini, or unlocking superhuman intuition, the spiritual world has turned meditation into a kind of to-do list. Scroll through Instagram, and you’ll find endless guides and gurus, all claiming to have the “right” way to meditate. It’s exciting, sure. But also, let’s be honest—exhausting. And if you’ve ever found yourself sitting in lotus position, peeking one eye open, wondering,  Is it working yet? —this is for you. Why Are We Meditating, Really? Let’s take a moment and ask: what’s the destination we’re chasing in meditation? Is it an out-of-body experience? Some magical, life-altering awakening? Or maybe you’re hoping for a cosmic sign, a spiritual nudge that you’re on the right track? It’s natural to want results. We’re human, after all. But here’s the thing: meditation was never meant to be about achieving something. It’s about releasing, not r...

We grow up and forget what it feels like to be children again—innocent, fearless, and free. As adults, we wear responsibilities like heavy cloaks, telling ourselves that being childlike is no longer appropriate. Yet, the further we drift from that playful essence, the more stuck and disconnected we feel. The truth is, tapping into the child within us is the easiest way to unlock something deeper: a connection to our spirit guides and guardian angels. Remember those moments when all you wanted was to run into your mother’s embrace, to cry it out, and to hear her whisper that everything would be okay? Even if you didn’t have a close relationship with your mom, the longing for such comfort and unconditional love remains universal. It is in these tender, vulnerable moments that we must turn to the divine parents of creation:  Shiva and Shakti —the cosmic masculine and feminine energies. Shakti, the divine feminine, embodies the vastness of space and the nurturing womb from which all cr...

As a parent, I often find myself reflecting on the kind of world I want to leave for my daughter—and the kind of person I hope she becomes. My deepest desire is for her to grow up compassionate, open-hearted, and able to see the divine in everyone. Yet, as much as I wish for her to embrace the world without judgment, I find myself struggling with my own. India is a beautiful, chaotic tapestry of cultures, languages, and classes. It’s a place where diversity should inspire unity, but instead, I often feel it creates invisible walls. When my daughter plays with children from different backgrounds—the watchman’s son or the cleaner’s daughter—I sometimes notice her picking up habits or phrases that make me uncomfortable. It’s not that these children are any less deserving of love or respect, but my mind can’t help but wonder: Am I judging them unfairly? Am I holding onto a bias I should have let go of long ago? This inner struggle is humbling because I know better. I know that judgment sep...

I meet countless souls every day—people who  know  they are meant to be somewhere else, someone else, something  more . They carry this quiet ache, like a melody they can’t quite hear. Their minds are cluttered, their intellect sharp. They have read the books, tried the meditations, followed the affirmations. They have healed their inner child, seen the therapists, found gurus, and experimented with countless modalities. Yet the calm they seek remains elusive—as if always one breath, one moment, one miracle away. Here is the big news for you—and it might sting at first, but let it land softly:  The more you search outside yourself, the farther you drift from the wisdom within.  Every technique you chase, every healer you follow, every step-by-step process you attach yourself to is only guidance, not the destination. Yes, they serve a purpose—to discipline the wandering mind and the restless body—but remember, they are only tools. Stillness is the door, but the j...
