I have a vivid memory of watching Queen movie again at FS. I had already seen this movie before but I am thankful that I saw this movie again because I was more cheerful and relaxed…and lighter I think…

Before the movie, we all were asked to write about our fears and probable reason why we have that fear, from when and related details…I too wrote about this one fear that I have…correction…had; of not trusting men in my personal life beyond a point; of course barring the family. This was the only fear that was hidden deep inside my soul and because there was never any need to address it, I never worked on it intentionally…but the life classes don’t spare you and thus, here I was again facing this fear and compelled to think that why all these years I didn’t really address this fear…what stopped me… By the end of the movie, I found the answer…

I love the end scene of the movie when the female actor returns her ring to her ex-fiancee and with a great relief leaves his home. I also love this scene when in the middle of the conversation the female actor gets up and say that she needs to meet her friends as she had promised to be with them instead of continuing the conversation with her ex-fiance in the cafe. The director has beautifully shown a journey of how a small town girl whose world revolves around her fiancee only when faces the betrayal and adversity, she gradually gets up, gathers her strength and not just goes for her honeymoon alone…but faces her demons, complexes, fears, identifies her strengths, make friends, take decision independently, laughs, lives and love herself more than anyone. This is me…absolutely…completely…totally…Eureka… The first thing that I did after reaching home is that I messaged one only male friend that I wish to meet him and need to talk… We met, I spoke and confessed whenever I made excuses to not to meet him alone without my husband accompanying me or his wife or not talking for long over the phone or not sharing my concerns…my life…he patiently heard me and said…I knew all this but I was trying so that you can accept me too just like you have accepted my wife…

The story doesn’t end here…I have now one more very close male friend…and all this because I left the baggage behind just like the female actor did…I am all set to restart the journey…

The movie was excellent. What I learned and understood after watching movie is fear is nothing but the reality which we are not able to accept. I am able connect last two session with the movie.You won’t realise what you are good at if you don’t explore new things. It is important for you to get out of your comfort zone and travel the world. Meeting different people and understanding their philosophy of life will help you to be more open in general. Your self respect is utmost importance. Find someone who respects you for who you are, not for what they can make you. Explore your passion for work, travel, love anything and everything. Don’t let your love life affect your other life choices. It is okay if things don’t work out in the first go. Life will give you other chances and they will only get better with time. Remember that every thing works out for the best. Life is a great teacher; it will teach you exactly what you are supposed to learn at a particular period of time. And if being with someone makes you sad, move on. There’s so many other things waiting for you.

Reflecting on the day actually helps you relive the day. I was happy from within as I served and received smile and gratitude from people.
the internal factors that were affecting was my back pain, I could overcome it easily when I received the lovely smiles and thanks from the heart. I even felt at one moment,which I shared with my facilitator that it would be more joy if we could have cooked the food ourselves.
Thinking about how to create a peaceful ambiance, working together to achieve the same was the unforgettable experience and moments to cherish in future.

Fear is nothing but the reality which is not so real, and this makes fear more fearful. Because on a psychological level we believe it to be the true and the ultimate reality. But that is not true. Ignorance leads to fear. What we have not experienced and what we do not want to experience, both adds to the fear. This further leads to incompetency because we’re stuck in these fears. These are the biggest barriers to ones progression and exploration and can be experienced on different levels. In the workshop we discussed fears of different levels. Wether constructive or destructive they have huge impact in shaping our lives. So it is essential to know our fears and work to overcome it.

It was an amazing experience in the first life class (integrity). I got to know about the different fears and its levels for each individual. The fear someone has may not affect me but it means a lot to the person who has it. I also learned that I have to work on my self to overcome my fears. Also, the sharing done by my classmates were amazing and I could relate to the situations they shared.

I also thank Ms. Bhargavi and Ms. Kavita for giving such a wonderful and friendly environment to learn and grow.

I have always been considering ‘Fear’ as a kind of ‘challenge’ to show or check my capabilities. I always feel that the fear which i had few years back is not with me now. So every moment or years or decades there are new fears, which i believe can be  overcome by spiritual practices.

I learnt that if you are EMPOWERED then there is no room for FEAR!
So choice is yours : Either be powerful or Fearful !

I got to know about the fear and types of it. I had never thought of it that I may have a fear. but after attending the workshop, I realised the true destination of fear. I can say fears get changed according to situations and our reactions.

I am so happy that I got a chance to attend our lovely mentors Ms. Bhargavi and Ms. Kavita. They are very friendly that everyone can share the experiences in a class which is very hard for me.

Listening to the fears of other made me wonder, I too have them, but it is worth challenging my fears with the strategies and the ways to overcome them. As an individual when I self-analyzed myself, I have found out that these classes have acted as a mirror to reflect on my doings and bring a positive change in life.

We started the 2 day session on a very positive note by sharing our idea of the term ” INTEGRITY”.

Most of us were of the opinion that it means to be honest to yourself and others at all times. But, the very first step in being honest is to openly accept your fear and face it, no matter what. Each one of us had some or the other fear, as small as that of an insect to as big as that of losing a nearest and a dearest person. The bottom line is to learn to be courageous and face it!

Thank you Bhargavi ma’am & Kavita ma’am for facilitating this so well! Looking forward  to learning much more in near future .. 🙂

I  was wondering what they will teach in Integrity class. I got newer understanding  “What is Integrity?” First I thought doing what you say and what you do in all the situations is called Integrity. It will be so heavy. Talking more about commitments. I used to think I am the person with integrity but the question which was posed “Do we really mean what we say?” “Do we say you will do something and then not do it?” This question really made me introspect deeper I started thinking deeply and reflecting on me. 

 I was so confused between mind and heart whom to listen and what to do.  I got an answer  because I have so many fears. While introspecting  some fears were known  but now I know the root cause. Why  it happening with me? How will I face this question generally pops in my mind. While sharing was done I realized that  I am  not the only one out there feeling fear. Everyone feels fear when taking a step into the unknown. After listening to all I felt my fear is nothing Why I am making it so big by thinking on it. I was amazed by listening how nicely they handle it, overcome, so strong.

 Then I could  make connections there were so many fears by trying and not giving up I have face it and felt so good when I achieve it.

But for deep rooted fear it is still a challenge.  I  am trying to  overcome  slowly by taking baby steps to remain positive, believing, trusting. I keep asking universe what is purpose of my life?  I feel  blessed and privileged to be a part of this workshop it showing me the path giving my answers who I am?  How I can change my limitations into my strengths. Why do I feel it? How can I face it?   Best part of workshop is sharing. Every one has a story which is touching someone’s heart and  getting motivation  how to handle or face it.
