PROLOGUE

The travel within started with a thought!

L ife is a journey of zillion steps, takes-off with one!

I believe that the way we travel across numerous places and tend to pick-up something good and a few peculiarities of each place; we do the same with life. It is a travel of our soul. For some, it’s a journey from the known to unknown and for others it begins from the unknown.

Different minds have varying perspectives. It is a discovery of the unknown; for people who are aware of their clueless being and undefined destination. But it is a caravan to return home for the people who know where they belong.

Whereas, I deal with life metaphorically considering it as a journey of the soul learning to decipher bad from good, knowing the worse and unraveling the positive. It is the soul’s way of teaching us and in the course of which, we either learn or never grow. Although to grow, we ought to learn, even through our travel expeditions, in order to see different places we ought to keep moving because being stuck at a place is not in the nature of travel.

As I hold a strong connection with my soul and believe that soul’s way is the ultimate way, I have embarked on a travel within.

HOW DID I COME TO THE IDEA OF WRITING A BOOK AND NAMING IT?

Love has its various ways!

A day of wondering

I don’t know why things have changed. Are things supposed to be the way they are now or the way I believed them to be?

Things and situations are God orchestrated. I believe in God. I believe in his sayings and teachings but somehow, sometimes things just become blurred. And in times like these, I embrace the beauty of love, the truth in nature and the signs I receive every now and then.

One night while I was scribbling my thoughts on a piece of paper, I was struck with an idea to write a book. But I was debating about the theme and how it could help people. So as always during my quests, I just prayed to God and asked for help from Archangel Gabriel in writing a book, a long standing dream of mine! Thank you, Archangels for helping me.

After a day of wondering I decided to write a book for all those who want to become their own life coach.The book comes with a workbook. As one reads the book and reaches self-realization, there arises a need to clarify. The workbook has been designed to help everyone meet their true selves and guide them along the way. It’s a step-by-step process for 11days, to become ones best self and clear all the blocks in life. Do it once and then repeat as many times as one wants.

Writing this book was like sewing a garland with pearls of positivity. I decided to write about God and God simply means love, so I named my book ‘Love has its various ways’.

HOW DID THIS ALL BEGIN?

My Adventure!

Let the waters settle and you will see the moon and the stars mirrored in your own being.

Rumi

I had left my country for 5 months to do an internship in Colombia as I wanted to boost my resume and practice Spanish.

I landed with a lot of hope and aspirations as it was my first solo trip but soon my dreams fell apart.

I was in Barranquilla, a very slow city compared to my own city (New Delhi). I felt like every day I was dying slowly and life was getting tougher minute by minute. My project didn’t start till end of the month. I was petrified and completely terrified.

I didn’t take any trips to nearby places which I had planned. I seldom went out and just stayed in the allotted, 6*4 room.

I cried, I shouted and the world around me shattered. I felt I was nothing and that going all the way, away from my land, was the worst decision of my life. I left my country at a time when I had everything. I was doing well in all areas of my life. Those emotions kept coming back and reminded me how amazing my life used to be. I had a life back in Delhi which every person would dream to have.

I had a well-paid job, loving family, amazing relationships and all the luxuries. Every day, I questioned myself, ‘if I had everything, then why did I decide to leave?’

I understood I was running away from all emotional issues in my life and I had made my life just about proving myself to my parents and the society. I was always trying to please people around me. For years, I kept ‘this mess’ sugar-coated, but soon, saw through the beautification.

I saw the mess and it was all too much to take in. All this while I had thought, I had been doing everything I wanted but in reality I had done everything possible to prove a point to my parents and just show them that they can’t control me. But the truth is that a rebellious attitude doesn’t serve the purpose if you cannot attain balance. I had learnt to be a rebel but didn’t know how to balance.

Now I had two options either to deal with all hidden issues which I had protected for long or keep going on the same way. But for the first time in my life I came into my own and decided that I will deal with every issue; leaving none unsolved.

Colombia was a planned escape from my home. Anyone can attain peace by going to Himalayas but the challenge is to attain the peace while sitting in the chaos. The chaos was my house as my family always triggered me. So after two months, I decided to go back and face them all. In the starting it was smooth but soon I was having second thoughts! But this time I didn’t plan another escape rather I sat through the chaos and let everything settle for me.

There were many days when I pondered to go back and many days where I just wanted to leave everything for once and for all. But this time I kept a strong will and determination and I kept going through one chapter after another.

There is this quote by Emily Maroutian, Energy is the currency of the universe. When you pay attention to something, you buy that experience. So when you allow your consciousness to focus on someone or something that annoys you, you feed it on your energy, and it reciprocates the experience of being annoyed. Be selective in your focus because your attention feeds the energy of it and keeps it alive. Not just within you, but in the collective consciousness as well.

I had focused so much on the bad that all I was attracting was bad or all that I was experiencing was what I had within. I had heard somewhere that, if you squeeze an orange, what will come out would be orange juice not apple. It is the same with life. When my life squeezed me completely all that I was experiencing outside was within me. So in a way I was the orange being squeezed? When I was being squeezed I had trembled to death, but I was foolish to blame the people around me for all that I was experiencing rather I should have turned within. It’s very important to turn inside once in a while to just check what’s going on in life. Let the water settle and you shall see it all in you as Rumi says.

So I was peeled like an onion, one fear after another surfaced starting from the fear of water to ending up alone in life. There were zillions of them uncovering me and I was experiencing immense pain yet peace, it was like living a paradox.

I used to wonder what would be left after a point. Soon
