Right Feel

Right feel

Charlie Musselwhite, an American electric blues harmonica player better known as the “white bluesman” quotes on his fellow musician ,“When Big (Walter) was in the right mood, he could be the most ferocious, the most inventive, the most dangerous harp player I ever heard.” Being at crest on a chore­­­­ in the right feel­–would entail most of us since it is a consequence of mood swings which in turn is an outcome of hormonal changes. What would be the best start to your day? Well, for me it would be a warm cup of coffee slitting down my throat in a mild breeze of air near the window listening to Guns N' Roses in the mise-en-scène. This brings in me a different premonition than anything else does, and sets me right in the mood to kick start my day. The day when I miss this Ambiance, I am the not just the same Guy. I get busy but alas not productive enough!

We already might have known by now that we can’t always get things going our way; the comfort zone that sets us in right mood cannot be accessible every time. It is said, if you want something you’ve never had, you need to do something you’ve never done before. As a matter of fact, doing something you’ve never done before pushes you to obviously get out of the box to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But it is easier said than done. As emotional beings, we tend to have mood swings the very moment we encounter with the inevitable events in live such as happiness and sorrow.

Mood swings have been closely related with us being arrogant and despondent.  Having a deeper meaning of life and being able to connect with a stable mindset certainly allows us to be happy and remain contented. Spirituality is a medium that allows us to diffuse throughout no matter how big the spaces of our problems be to provide with us a broader picture of the issue and come up with a sensible solution. Interestingly enough, spirituality need not be religious as a belief to be practiced by a specific group of individuals but is an act of transcending the mundane/trivialities, and an exploration of a deeper meaning of life to find the once forfeited links with someone/something more profound than the things we see regularly.

Before having an acquaintance with spiritualism or basically before learning anything in general, it is a must we remain humble. It is only through the feeling of humbleness and gratitude can we learn something because a humble man always makes room for progress whereas a proud man feels he is already there. A beginning step to spiritual awakening can be to spend at least 5minutes a day closing your eyes and meditating. It is recommended by most of the psychologists that you meditate for at least two times a week for a total span of 20 minutes. According to Leonardo da Vinci, Meditating on purple light is said to increase the concentration by as much as 10 times. Meditation is done to set the mind free from stress and can be accompanied by the 4 cycle– inhale counting up to 4, hold your breath counting up to 4, exhaling counting till 4 and pausing counting till 4 for 4 times in total. This makes us calmer and eventually helps to make us more patient.

Second step can be to studying the spiritual books. The spiritual books may vary from The Bhagwat Gita to The Holy Bible depending on your preference. There are numerous books and magazines on spiritualism in case you feel like not to be religious. Finally, yet importantly the step to spiritual awakening may be in spending some time with nature. It has been said you need to travel not to find yourself but to remember who you’ve been all along. Growth is sometimes a lonely process, be in quiet with yourself in nature–the whispers of your soul will be audible.

To quote Muhammad Ali, a globally renowned American boxer, “it isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe”. Let not the waiting for the right feel/ bad mood be that pebble in your shoes ahead of the mountain you got to scale. The road might seem tough from the place where you stand now but I bet you won’t regret the view from the top.

This article has been written when I  was so out of topic­– of course I wanted to write though. Generally, it takes for me a drive from inside to really come up and write, the feel for which I long the most is infact the “Right feel”.
