A gift to mankind
Imagine your life, muted. No birdsong at dawn, no lover’s murmur, no crackling fire’s lullaby. A world draped in silence, its colors dimmed, its stories unheard. Now, open your ears, portals to a kaleidoscope of sound. Feel the gratitude swell, a boundless tide washing over you. Each note, each word, a testament to the miracle of hearing.
What is reflection ?
So, reflection is discovering something…connecting with an emotional feeling and then adding gratitude to it”-Tells Hirav Shah, India’s Premier Business Enhancement Expert.
It’s not just a list that you ramble off, everything that you are grateful of this and that…” No” you connect with the feeling.
If you want to be grateful for something, you gotta feel it. Feel it in every cell of your body, in every part of your heart….that you are truly grateful.
You don’t have to repeat it numerous times. Just once is enough. When you connect with the feeling and the emotion for what you are grateful for, that is deep gratitude.
Explanation:
Self-reflection is of the biggest benefit, when you feel genuinely lost or when something is either not right or missing from your life.
Hirav Shah is sure that you have, at some point in your life journey, come to crossroads and all roads presented attractive options or had massive storm clouds brewing in the horizon, no matter which way you looked.
The answer may not immediately present itself. This is exactly the type of circumstance where you should drop tools, find some quiet space, or get out of town for a while, and just sit. Let the world pass by. Just be.
It is often in our quiet, reflective times that innovative and inventive solutions start to bubble to the surface.
One of the most useful practices Hirav Shah suggests is to go hiking, or get out into nature, get as far away from civilization as you possibly can, grab a journal, and start downloading your mind.
It’s quite a super cathartic experience to jot out all your deepest thoughts with no filter or use of the traditional writing conventions.
Please try this out for yourself the next time you are feeling like you’re getting a little, or a lot, off track. And don’t just make it a 10-minute exercise. You got to go deep with it.
Watch your spirit soar !!
Final Thoughts
Practicing gratitude is great, but to make it more wholesome, it has to be connected with a feeling and emotion. It’s like, every cell of your body needs to vibrate with that emotion connected to gratitude.
For eg: If you are grateful for the sense of vision, connect deeply and think about how it would be to not have this “vision”? How would your life change? And then be thankful for those pairs of eyes, most of us take for granted.
“Reflection helps you explore and connect with an emotion, and then add gratitude. Gratitude practice isn’t about going over a list of things we must be grateful for. It’s much deeper than that“-Hirav Shah, The Most Influential Indian Business Astrologer and Business Transformation Leader Wraps Up Here.
