The daily mundane life is a sure shot way to turn us into a cog in the wheel, just going through the day without really feeling, or getting into the moment, finding ecstasy in the act.
When do we ‘really’ feel? We are all too much in the head, lost in thoughts. We know our feelings intellectually but are unable to really feel them. This could be because as children our parents showered us with love when we did well and withheld their warmth when we didn’t do too well or misbehaved. Maybe we were bullied or had a tough relationship with our peers.
What is missing is the ability to relate directly to these feelings. We are taught to distract ourselves from feeling, or suppress them or ignore them. Our wounds don’t heal but manifest in different ways - physical, emotional or psychological disorders.
Feel your feelings, drop the thinking hat because thinking is the root of the problem. Connect with your feelings like you would with an old friend. Experience the texture of your feelings. Release what doesn't serve you, transform them into something pleasant. Transform from fear and rise with strength.

A Lesson in the Art of Detachment (Member Article)
“One who is afraid of emptiness, of being nothing, is attached.” ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti As someone who loves driving, and going on road trips, I have always had a strong attachment to my car. I usually never give it to people to drive, I would wait at the garage if the car is being serviced, I ensure I know what work is being done and each and every little niggle with it.

5 Things I Learnt on Our Roadtrip
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!” ~ Hunter S. Thompson Traveling has always been a mind and heart-expanding experience for me. The newness is refreshing, the serene landscapes are captivating, and above all there is something about traveling that instantly leads to a shift in consciousness.

A Personal Update and Vision Plan |

For many a years I have been manifesting a job that suits my needs, and recently it just literally came to me. Plus a few other things, a synchronous time and we have been blessed to have a mind expanding road trip consisting of over 6,500 KM and so many experiences. But the moment we come back to the city life seems to be suffocating and this is when it becomes very challenging to do what we do. Over the years Fractal Enlightenment has changed as we have too and we're finally found our personal growth and network reach a level where we can assist others in multiple factions of life.
