How can you tap into the all pervasive divine love of the universe through simple breathing exercises and meditation? Read this to know more!
Breathwork, or simple breathing exercises are a great way to tune back into the present moment, as well as to relax yourself into a meditative state. A new spiritual writer, Suzi wrote this wonderful article to relate her recent experience with divine love, and how it happened during her breathing rituals.
I hope you enjoy reading this gentle piece just as much as I did! Here’s what she wrote.
Modern life is hectic. We get caught up in feelings of worry, stress, and fear that block us from living in our naturally compassionate sense of being.
Unfortunately, society has trained us to believe that love is a reward for good behavior. However, this is not the case at all.
Love, the divine kind, is abundant around us and free to take whenever we need it. And it is as easy as taking a breath.
When we bring our attention to the breath and allow ourselves to slow down, the soul will relax into the feeling of love and begin to feel rejuvenated. Peace will lift the soul.
And as the breath continues to expand, so does the love within and around us.
Opening myself up to receiving this divine love has blessed me with the gift of feeling wholehearted love for myself and all other beings. It has helped me feel connected and at peace with the ever-changing, impermanent world around me.
It has expanded my gratitude for life, as I no longer want for more, but indulge myself in the luxuries I am already blessed to have. Each small moment is cherished, as if I were looking back on it as a memory that I wished was still my reality.
This is not to say I am at complete peace, practice is essential. But receiving love from the Divine is teaching me to acknowledge my needs, by pampering my soul with love and then listening for where it is still hurting.
The hurt may be physical, emotional, or they may be nothing left that needs healing. But from that, I am able to discover where I need more love in my life.
Paying attention to the needs within our mind and body strengthens the ability to be present with our thoughts, emotions, and daily life encounters.
As conscious beings, there is a constant stream of thoughts being played about either the past, present, or future. Each having a different impact on our mental state.
Thoughts of the past will likely bring up feelings of lack, and longing for what once was.
We stream our fondest memories on repeat, making reality seem dull and imperfect. We punish ourselves greatly by reliving feelings of guilt, shame, and regret. Tampering with our reality and blocking ourselves from receiving the joy of the present moment.
Our inability to control the future and constant changing of the world will likely lead to feelings of disappointment when the images of the future we constructed in our heads don’t turn out to be the reality.
Alternatively, anxiously dreading a future event is likely to make us shy away from new experiences and stop us from growing as people.
Being present, however, opens us up to our surroundings and possibilities.
Not only is it easier to hear our own needs, but also the feelings and needs of others. Paying close attention to the words your loved ones speak may reveal a greater meaning behind their words.
We can listen to what they are needing and respond compassionately, resulting in better relationships. It gives us our inner child an opportunity to be impulsive and do things we would normally think twice about.
Being present will help you live your life to the fullest and stretch your gratitude to the moon.
Think about. How would you feel experiencing the unfailing, ever-present love of the Divine? And to know that you have the ability to feel connected to that warmth, whenever you need it?
Here’s a meditation taught to me by a beautiful instructor that enriched my soul with peace.
Setting the intention to connect to the Divine.
You may not call it Divine.
To you, it may be something else. Source, spirit, creator, God. But to me, the Divine is the elegant spirit that brings the beauty of this world, to life.
Set the intention and be open to receiving the unconditional love of the Divine. May it be poured through my essence with every breath. Finding a comfortable pace, breathe in and out through the mouth.
Inhaling, deep, quenching breaths of life, that open me up to receiving love. Exhaling, loud relaxing breaths, that let go of tension and relax into love. We dance like this for the next 30 minutes.
Music plays to warm and comfort the soul as I relax deeper and deeper into the breath. Aware that nothing has to happen. All I simply have to do is breathe.
Melodies and the ocean sound of my breath, working together to calm the mind. I welcome thoughts as an observer, hear what they have to say, and then let them pass.
Choosing not to get caught up in thought, focusing all attention on the love flowing through my being. Mouth wide, my mind’s eye begins to see golden, glistening light shining down onto me.
An unbreakable connection of love has formed. The tingling sensation of being sun kissed by the Divine encourages my breath to deepen, filling every crevice of my body with the loving light, radiating every cell with peace, love, and freedom.
Mind, body, and soul cleansed. Nothing but love left behind. A cloud drifting in the skies, dancing with the Divine, becoming one. Working together in perfect harmony to spread divine love around the world.
Our human purpose becoming clear. Love and be loved.
Gracious for the love I now hold within me, my breath returns to normal, in and out through the nose. Swimming in the loving energy within and around me, I place my hands on my heart and call for any negative energy left to surface.
To my grace, nothing but a weightless feeling of love takes over me.
Welcome to the world of feeling love, through a simple breath, in and out through the mouth.

Why is humility important in spiritual growth? And how can you cultivate a humble mindset in your journey? Read this!
Does your mind ever alter between the extreme states of “I know everything” and “I know nothing”? Say, after chatting with someone you feel extremely proud or you feel like a drop in the ocean? Let’s see how one can find a state of balance and practice humility in this tug of war between self-worth and ego.
My first encounter with the word humility was when I had got a sticker for it in school. Each of us in our group was being awarded a sticker according to the trait they most reflected. I received humility. With a black sticker background. It felt negative and mysterious for some reason.
Sure I had seen the word somewhere before but had never deeply understood what it meant. The dictionary meaning of humble said, “having or showing a modest or low opinion of your own importance; of low rank; not large or special”.
I thought to myself, “Why would I do that?” Why would this be considered even a good trait? Thinking low of oneself – isn’t that bad?
Taking the first step towards humility
The entry of the word karma, which stood for what goes around comes around, also helped me in understanding the importance of humility. “Do unto others as you would have done unto you”.
Although knowing the meaning of a word is not where you stop. That was just the introduction. The actual energy of the word has entered your play-field (life) and now it’s time for you to master it.
#1 – Seeing the opposite -I’m bigger than anyone else
Usually the first step we take in understanding a concept is to understand what’s the opposite of it.
What is hate you ask? It’s the absence of love and vice-versa. (Sometimes hate is replaced by fear. The trio is: love, hate, fear. Only one of it can stay without the other two.) Dark is the absence of light.
How can we understand what is humble if we don’t know what is being egoistic? The first lesson usually starts with us feeling we are above everyone else.
When you get good grades or a medal, win a competition, or have all your successes in check, it’s usually a lesson to make you learn about staying humble about your achievements in life. The real life spirituality hasn’t started yet but it’s a good workout for you to differentiate between your ego vs your true self.
Usually early-on during childhood we’re always taught to be The Best! The best is what everyone is seeking to be. The best in sports, dancing, singing, writing, etc.
While being the best is not the problem in itself, the world can surely benefit from talented people, but the attitude the person carries makes a huge difference. Anybody would love to connect with a person who is genuine over someone who is all about show-off.
#2 – Being humble
Usually the most modest people don’t talk about being “humble”. They just say, “it’s their duty” or “they’re glad to be of service”. They think it’s all a small effort in making people’s lives a bit better by just BEING a bit better. Change comes from within right?
What could be a greater service to humanity than to be what you want to see the most in the world?
Differentiating between humility vs spiritual ego
This is where it gets tough. Now that you’re a “good person”, your ego will start telling you, “Very good! You’re the greater person now”. Your mind will start making excuses and sometimes it’ll tell you, “I’m doing this because people need this! I’m doing a service and people should feel grateful for it” or “I’m so caring. What are you doing with your life?”
As an example, some people will actually take a photo of them doing a good job and post it on social media. “God are you watching? Sending some good karma my way, xoxo”. Hilarious, indeed. It is possible for ego to take pride in your humility.
The point is not about doing a good job and then showing it afterwards. It’s about the intention behind doing it. Sharing with the world your good deeds isn’t a problem.
The thing about being “humble” is that people who are that, don’t boast about it. Did you do it with a good heart? Did you genuinely love helping people or did you just do it for the appreciation? Only you can answer that.
One other thing that happens with the spiritual ego is that people start giving their deeds far more worth than they should. Being a karam-yogi means you do the deed without caring about the result you’ll get from it.
Sometimes when we do something good to others our mind goes into a spiral of being the savior. Don’t steal the lessons away from people by doing that.
You are not helping by being the savior. Instead, nudge or encourage the person to save their own selves by helping them take their power back.
Also, at times, while being on this conscious journey people start looking up to others and get intimidated by seeing all the good or the magnificence that a person may carry.
Xyz has mastered so many clair senses and I don’t even know the spiritual lingo!
It is important to gain inner peace, empathy and love without boosting our ego or undermining ourselves.
The next part will explain you the way we put ourselves above or below anybody else and later we’ll see some tips we can use to balance it out.
The humility quotient
One thing tricky about humility is that the dictionary explains it as, “having a low opinion of oneself”. That didn’t sit right with my younger self and it was for a good reason. Below I’ll explain how I see humility, an attribute like any other, should be kept in balance.
It is easy to be on either of the extremes: being boastful or having fairly low self-esteem can both be dangerous.
Since the infinities extend in both the directions, being humble is exactly in the middle of the scale. Its to balance out one’s excessive good and excessive bad self-worth.
Low can be subjective and it is this middle-ground that people sometimes confuse with being low in dignity and value.
Being humble doesn’t mean being a pushover. People shouldn’t just take advantage of your kindness and politeness or should take more from you without giving back much. Usually we do find these people around us who are “happy to help”.
We should understand the fact that just because someone helped you last minute-in, doesn’t mean he’s your saviour now or someone you could walk to at any time to ask for anything. They don’t owe you anything.
15 Tips to Practice Being Humble In Daily Life
The best way to practise it is to watch people who are humble and adopt what you find best in them.
Take older generations, for example. In my opinion, they’ve inherently got this attitude of being humble about most things in their lives. Mostly our grandpas and grandmas do far more (compared to the younger generations) but still boast less about it. According to them, that’s just the way of life.
When you’re becoming more spiritually aware and mature, it’s easier to think that you’ll develop these things naturally. But it takes real work to do even the most basic of the things outlined below.
Here are a few practices that may help you be more humble.
#1 – Staying true to yourself.
At the end of the day we’re all responsible for ourselves. Our conscience will always ask what is tough to help us stay true to ourselves each time. By doing that we can speed-up your growth.
It’s not wise to give ourselves fake brownie points for things we know are of no real worth. It wouldn’t help us in the long run.
Hard thing to do is to look in the mirror and say, “I accept all your flaws”.
Being of the mindset that you are who you are and you would try to be more open to receiving criticism that might hurt you (if you’re too much in the ego) but you’ll try to accept things more kindly and take what is useful for you and reject what’s not, you could be doing yourself a great service.
#3 – Being more sensitive to nature.
God is the greatest artist and nature is our greatest gift of inspiration. Here, nature includes both the seer and the scenery.
We should take responsibility for our home (Earth) and start treating everything with the respect it deserves. This isn’t just a logical truth, but a deeply spiritual one.
For example, Advaita Vedanta is the school of thought which means that the Brahman (universe) is everything, you are the Brahman (universe), so you’re one with everything, and that differences or duality do not exist.
Walk down such schools of thought in a way that brings humility towards the entirety of your existence.
#4 – Volunteering or being more of service.
Don’t always be of the attitude what could this person/institute/organization give me that could benefit me. Rather turn the question around and ask what could YOU contribute for the betterment of the world, relationship, or organization.
Being of service to others more means you want to be more useful in the world and take your existence seriously. You should have fun doing that. Volunteering wouldn’t be a success if you do it with a heavy heart. It’s fruitful when it’s done with a passion for service.
#5 – Acceptance.
This can come in two ways.
Accepting people, situations & conditions
Many people have a hard time accepting things for their face value. The forest is burning up, what can you do? Someone in your family or friends is struggling with depression, what can you do?
Once we can take the first step of accepting things for what they are past all the blaming others/waiting for the saviour to come, we can get faster towards solving the problem.
Accepting yourself
Being comfortable with all the good/bad in you is as important as accepting other things in life. The first step to being a more humble person is realising that you too have faults. Probably even after reading so many self-help books you can’t help manage your thoughts and when in crisis you start reacting instead of responding.
Change doesn’t happen overnight. Accepting that you have a long way to go and taking one-step-a-day is one of the keys in staying humble.
#6 – Being conscious of what you eat.
What does this have to do with being humble? It’s there to increase your sensitivity about living beings and to help you avoid eating food for selfish reasons.
We are not living in survival mode anymore that we have to eat only meat. Ideally, human beings should eat things that require the least amount of violence. If you cannot cut down entirely, try eating lesser portions of meat and include more veggies on your plate.
Here’s a great resource for those interested in veganism.
#7 – Forgiveness.
We all can benefit from having a little less tension in our lives and if a relation is on-the-verge of ending we could just forgive each other in our hearts (if we cannot do that physically).
Forgiving people lets you dissolve the negativity that could turn into bigger problems in life.
#8 – Sitting with your craft.
Let it simmer. Would you prefer eating a stew that’s been prepared in half an hour or one that’s been simmering for 3 hours on low flame (if not all night long)? The longer you sit with your craft, the better you’re able to understand it.
You’ll spend a huge amount of time looking at it from n no. of perspectives. It’ll take you some time to get better at it. If you start spending more time doing things mindfully, you’re getting closer to living life more humbly.
#9 – Being in someone else’s shoes.
When in doubt about if it was my fault or if it was his, try putting yourself in another’s shoes and see what you think and feel from their point of view.
You’ll often realize it is neither of your faults and it was only a lesson you’re both trying to learn. Doing this practice can help you realize that we keep switching our roles from time-to-time.
The time is never the same for anyone. Remembering this fact can make you more humble towards a specific person you are having conflicts with.
#10 – Less is more.
This can be explained in two ways too.
Material goods
The next time you think about buying extra stuff for when-in-need-I’ll-have-a-supermarket-at-home, try buying lesser. Hoarding material goods is not beneficial to us rather than the normal thinking and less is not equivalent
to being poor as the society has programmed us to believe. In fact, people worldwide have given this a more modern term, minimalism.
Having sufficient for you and then sharing what you don’t require can help in two ways. People in need could benefit from the resources more and you are benefitted by not overwhelming yourself.
Words
Whenever you get a chance to explain something to someone, do so as you’re explaining to a kid.
Don’t expect people to know the jargons. Be as thorough and as easy as you can. Anybody could flaunt their talents but it takes more patience to explain things more easily yet potently.
#11- Check your humility quotient amongst others.
Being more sensitive to the naive is also an important aspect of being humble.
Say, a casual meeting happens and this man is so full of himself that he wouldn’t stop boasting about his knowledge in his field of expertise.
Thus, showing others that they’re nothing and can benefit somewhat from their intelligence (sarcasm also is considered an intelligent form of humour but rarely do people think about the emotional aspect of it).
Having a good HQ is as important as having a good IQ (humility quotient, a subset of EQ emotional quotient).
#12 – Smiling
A genuine smile which comes straight from the heart is something that people will remember for a long time. It is free and the easiest to give.
People say having a smile is of utmost importance to make yourself more appealing, even if it is a fake smile. I think that having a good heart counts. Genuine smile can only come from inner reflection.
#13 – Having a chat with someone in distress.
People have become more disconnected now than ever. Some may experience feeling lonely in a crowd.
It’s ironic with all the technology in this day, we’re creating a more empty generation. You would definitely find someone in your circle feeling low at times. You can strike up a conversation with them.
Sometimes being heard is all that people want. Seeing a human face that would give them a smile is all they need to get back on their feet.
When you see someone in distress, be their guide.
#14 – Taking your time to speak.
Taking your time to formulate your thoughts before speaking is a very good habit.
They say the first thought that comes to your mind is what you truly think. I believe that our ego is the first one to jump at us in many situations. Somebody called you a curse word. You think, “Well, why don’t I shower you with some natural slander?” (hint: that’s not your true self. That’s your negative ego-mind)
#15 – Handling successes and failures alike.
It’s easier to keep your calm when you’re climbing up the ladder of success but rarely do people learn how to cope with failure.
Practise remaining stable with both your ups-and-downs. Your failures can give you wisdom and your successes can give you a chance to practise more humility.
Other Practices For Humility
Some other things you can do to be more humble are
bowing/doing a Namaste (which means, I honor the divine in you),
having daily personal reflections.
After learning how you can be more humble, what’s left is finding the place to practice that. What is the best space than the world we live in? In your office, school, street, home, garden, wherever you are right now, look for ways you can be more humble.
“All the whole world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players” – Shakespeare
Concluding thoughts
Patience, humility, kindness, compassion goes hand-in-hand. It’s easier to practise other traits easily if we work on one from the list. They’re synonymous in the larger sense.
Being humble is being of the shunya (zero) mentality. People think zero means nothing. Rather, shunya is that something which is nothing. Therefore, being humble doesn’t mean you are nothing. It simply means you understand the worth of things enough to not get it to your head. Good luck being the humble-bee!
Sending you love and appreciation,

What does the 10-days Vipassana Meditation feel like? Here’s a candid experience of what to expect from this profound spiritual retreat.
The secrets of the universe and its working has amazed me since childhood! And somehow, my gut instinct always asked me to get into meditation, though I ignored its whisper. However, I was forced to listen to it once I had some severe health complications. This finally led me to explore the hidden world of Vipassana meditation. And here’s my experience.
I don’t know why I expected some magic to see once I started meditating. Though there were moments of peace, and calm, I was looking for something else, something more maybe! And that led me to explore Vipassana through a retreat.
What is Vipassana Meditation?
Vipassana is a Pali word which means ‘to see’. And that forms the basis of this meditation technique.
While there are many theories about the several meditation techniques started by Buddha, there is strong evidence that Buddha mainly taught Vipassana. Which later got spread to Burma by king Ashoka.
Though this technique got lost in India, SN Goenka brought it back to India in 1976.
Now that we have a little background of how it originated, here is more to what makes it so special. The intense 100-hour continuous meditation practice!
You are not connected to the world, not speaking to anyone for those 10 days, live on minimum food, and just meditate. That’s what makes it special. Is it easy? No, it’s not, but it’s worth the efforts.
Why do you have to stay for 10-days long?
Vipassana is taught in a step-by-step process. Every day it’s a little more than the previous day. The course is designed in such a way that you have to spend a minimum of 10 days to learn it gradually and see the benefits afterward.
During the first 3 days, they teach how to concentrate on the mind. Those three days of practice sharpen the mind and prepare it for what’s coming next.
From the 4th day, they start teaching the actual technique of Vipassana which is ‘to see’ into your body.
Well, it may sound easy. ‘Just seeing the body? Uh! Not that tough! I can do it at home!’ But it’s not!
One wishing to practice seriously must be under a proper guide. There are several layers you uncover and it might be scary sometimes. The group is divided into men and women, and each group has separate teachers.
You also need an environment where there is the least disturbance. Vipassana centers provide you such an environment.
My Experience!
Now that I have talked enough about all that can be theory, let’s listen to ‘my story’ of Vipassana! Ready?? Fasten your seat belts! You are going to enter into a world of magic, and mystics. Yay!
It took a lot of courage to decide that I would go to Vipassana. The thought of not talking to family scared me the most. However, the good thing was that I had my husband with me. So, in a way, I had a familiar face at the center though we didn’t talk to each other for the next 10 days.
The morning bell rang at 4 am, and we had to be in the main meditation hall to start the practice at 4:30 am. It took me 2 days to adjust to this timing. We were given instructions to follow on a daily basis.
For the first day, we were asked just to concentrate on the breath. And just the opposite of what I had thought, it was super tough!
My mind wandered in all directions. I visited earth, mars, space, met all the aliens, danced to Bollywood numbers in those little two hours!
When we were out for breakfast at 6:30 am, my head was aching. The next marathon of meditation started at 8:00 am and ended at 11:00 am for lunch. I was super irritated by my mind. What can’t you be a little quieter?
At 1:30 pm we started again and ended at 5:30 pm for snacks. Now, I wanted to speak to someone, but everyone ignored my smile! Ouch!! At 6:30 pm we started again and were given instructions for the next day at 8:30 pm. I was back to the hostel, and in bed by 10:00 pm. Well, the routine was going to be the same for the next 10 days!
Did I have any magical experiences during my Vipassana retreat?
Before I decided to book my Vipassana, I had read many blogs on it, and people talked about how they healed from backache, migraine in just 10 days.
While I did not expect my health issue to get resolved in just 10 days, I did expect ‘something’, a little magic maybe. And that happened on the third day!
In the afternoon when I was concentrating on my breath, I felt my right hand shaking. It’s easy to distinguish between a shaking due to weakness, and shaking due to something more powerful.
As I saw it, I was scared from the meditation experience. I guess fear was not needed at that moment. Because the moment I was afraid, the experience stopped! I kept feeling magical for the next many minutes.
And I can assure you that it was the latter. I experienced that ‘something more powerful’ in my right hand. When I l opened my eyes to look at what’s happening, it was still shaking, and nothing was not in my control.
When I told my teacher about that experience, she said, ‘Observe it!’
Well, her reply did not make me happy at that time, but now that I see it, that’s what Vipassana is all about. Observing.
Was it easy?? No, it was not!
Along with the few magical moments I had, there were a few painful moments too. Like on the seventh day, I could feel the heat inside my body. My stomach and lung area had some fire as if it would burn me from inside.
Well, it was always there, had been there for years but Vipassana had made me aware of that negativity, and I could feel the pain. By evening, it felt like I would vomit due to the heat. But I did not want to give up and by the next day, it got better!
Along with the physical pain I experienced, my mind became more chaotic by day 5 and 6. I had read people saying that their experience got better as the days passed. However, for me, it was full of ups and downs.
There were days I was at complete peace with what I was going through. And then for many days, I just wanted to scream and run. I remember, on day 7th, in the night I just wanted to bang the door of the course manager, and ask her to let me go! Thankfully, I survived those intense emotions. Phew!
Vipassana – would I go again?
Of course yes! Don’t get demotivated by the weird experiences.
They will just pass, and the benefits you get out of those 10 days would outgrow your bad memories. Funnily enough, just after I returned, I started looking forward to booking another 10 days course.
While the experience might be addictive, it’s important to remember that one should continue practicing it at home. Those 10 days can only provide an essential introduction and foundation to the technique. To develop in the practice is a lifetime job.
How can you survive those bad days?
I was talking to my Yoga teacher just after I had booked the session. And she told me, ‘Ankita, the day you feel agitated the most, is the day you get healed the most! Remember that!‘
And I reminded myself of these golden worlds on those bad days. She also said that whenever I felt like quitting, I should just try to wait for ‘one more day’. And this theory worked too!
On the 7th day when I was experiencing too much heat in my body, I just wanted to see ‘one more’ day, and by the next day, I already felt better.
My advice if you are going to Vipassana for the first time!
There are many things I could have done to make my experience better. And they are:
#1 – Follow the routine.
There are leisure times in which they expect you to take some break from meditation. Utilize that time. Which means take the break! You deserve it. I did the opposite. I ignored the routine and practiced even during those break hours. Result? I was super exhausted and bored in the last few days.
#2 – Walk-in nature.
Vipassana centers are built in between the woods, far away from the city so that you can experience maximum healing.
But healing does not only happen by meditating. It also happens when you walk in nature. When you soak in the fresh air and walk around in the woods mindful of everything around.
I skipped that part, only to realize on the 8th that I had missed something major! Sigh.
#3 – Do not talk.
Well, I didn’t do it, but I saw many people who broke the rule of not talking. They made groups and by the 8th day, I could see them walking and talking. And it’s not recommended.
There is a reason the course asks you not to talk. It’s because when you stop one of your senses, the awareness of other senses is heightened.
And you experience the technique more deeply. After all, that’s why we are here, right?
#4 – Do not compare.
We were asked to talk in groups with the teacher about the day-wise experience. When I listened to someone else’s experience I would question my practice.
‘She said that she experienced itchiness. Why didn’t I?’
And it made me question my efforts. Don’t do that! We all are unique, and so is our experience. A comparison will only hamper your progress.
#5 – Start meditating at home before you go for the retreat.
If you are new to meditation, and you want to start by going to this retreat, you are doomed. It will be very tough, and most probably you will leave the course in between.
Until and unless you haven’t practiced any kind of meditation at home previously, I won’t advise you to go for this intense practice.
Maybe you can start practicing at home 3-6 months prior to registration. This way sitting one hour continuously for a session won’t be tough. Here are some tips to get you started with your home practice.
Parting thoughts
Once I returned from Vipassana, I got to hear many more stories of miraculous healing. No doubt every meditation is helpful but the effects are tough to notice because of slow progress. However, the effects of Vipassana are instantaneous.
Once you return from the retreat, most probably you will see some change in your personal or professional life.
While it might sound absurd to many, the fact is that when you get rid of so many unwanted beliefs and toxins from your body, you attract more of what you desire. It’s like a return gift from the universe for all the efforts you have put in those 10 days of intense meditation!
