LIFE

Here you will find posts about my life and personal experiences across the spectrum, with a large focus on my spirituality and my journey to consciousness and inner peace.

WORLD

Here, I write on issues that affect us around the world focussing on solutions and raising global consciousness. I also explore social and cultural issues of interest to me, which I believe need to be spoken about openly in order for change to come.

LOVES

I believe life is an ever-changing journey of growth and self-betterment. Here you will find posts and reviews on things I love or have really enjoyed, posts on and interviews with people that inspire me to become better, as well as things I have come across that have opened my eyes even further or encouraged me to ask questions.

ART

As well as being a passionate writer and journalist, I am also a passionate artist. It is one of the places where I feel the most peace. Expect to find posts here on the stories behind my own artistic creations as well as reviews on the products I use to create my work.

WORDS

Writing has always been a major release for me. Poetry, prose, short stories and more – here you will find words that I feel flow through me from somewhere beyond me.

The Art of Sabr: A Practice That Goes Beyond Patience

There’s a word we use in Urdu and Punjabi; a word that I heard over and over again while growing up. “Sabr,” my mother would impatiently say standing over the stove, as I tugged at her sleeve because my tummy was rumbling. “Sabr”, my grandmother would smile knowingly...

6 Life-Changing Lessons That My Spiritual Master Left Me

    What does it mean to have a Spiritual Master? What does it mean to be a humble disciple? These are two questions that had never even crossed my mind until I met my husband, the man that was the means for me to meet the one man that would absolutely transform my...

6 Ways to Tame the Voices in Our Heads

    “You can do this. This is the year. This is your time.” “Oh, but you say that every year. You don’t have it in you. You can never complete anything. You think you can do this? No way. Not a chance in hell.” “Oh come on, don’t listen to her. You know that’s not the...

7 Real Reflections on the First 3 Weeks Post-Partum

    Last night, I ended up in the bathroom sobbing uncontrollably on the toilet for five minutes. The baby wouldn’t settle, I felt overwhelmingly exhausted and the pain from the haemorrhoids that had been torturing me for the past week was pretty much unbearable. Five...

I Write These 3 Things Everyday For A Happier Life

  Mauritian sunshine streamed in through the kitchen windows, warming my body. Yet I still felt cold. I sat at the wooden table in the vast kitchen that was way too big for me, yet too small to house the blanket of darkness that enveloped me, and I looked down into my...

COVID 19: Humanity’s Awakening Shock?

    The Awakening Shock My Sheikh (spiritual master and my spiritual guide) often speaks of the ‘awakening shock’. A moment in time or a series of separate yet interlinked occasions where a human being’s entire world, or how they knew it to be, is rocked so hard that...

I’m a Wuss – and I’m Grateful for it

    It’s not the first time in my life I’ve been called a wuss.  There was the time when my circle of friends at the time, over ten years ago now, poked fun at the fact that I wasn’t one to raise my fists and get in a fight when it came to resolving conflicts.  And...

Living in a Fake Reality

    I’m in a weird place right now, but that’s to be expected I guess. Myself and the other three members of my little family are still battling the flu (this whole Christmas period has been a huge blur, including my birthday 😣); we’re currently feeling the after...

Turning 31 in 24 Hours

  In just over 24 hours, I’ll be turning 31. And I’m sitting here alone, with a Bollywood movie on in the background, Christmas tree lights twinkling away in the corner, full of a newly acquired cold, while my two children and husband sleep in their beds.While...

Whispers on the Wind.

    Gods whispers reached me on the wind. “Do you trust me?” I heard His voice loud and clear; it rang through my racing heart, coursed it’s way through my veins, I felt it run up and down the steps of my spine and somehow, I knew that it was ringing out from...

A Letter to the White Woman Shopping in Aldi

    I smiled at you. You turned your head and looked away. My three-year-old daughter pointed to your probably-three-year-old son, and squealed excitedly, “Look, Mama, look! He got teddy bear! He got teddy bear, like me!” You glanced at us, looked extremely awkward,...
